Treatment of Heart Disease.

For generations the main idea In the
treatment of organic heart disease has
been physical rest to diminish the labor
of the damaged organ. We have been in
the habit of prohibiting all forms of active
labor to the sufferers from cardiac dis
ease, and the principle of our treatment
has been the uneXpressed but ever present
idea, accepted as a self evident axiom
that perfect rest was the best means of
securing muscular compensation.
Professor Oertel's experiments and re-
suits have come with startling surprise
upon those who forgot to distinguish be-
tween useful principle and the excep-
tions which the multiformity of disease
renders it imperative to recognize. AS is
well known, he treats a considerable pro-
portion of cases of organic heart disease
by regulated exercise, especially gradu-
ated aScents of mountains, and his results
place the value of his method beyond rea-
sonable dispute. There is nothing really
surprising either in his treatment or the
success which has attended it. A little
reelection will suffice to convince US that
while rest is often useful, and indeed
quite indispensable, in heart disease, there
are yet many cases in which well regulat-
ed exercise will improve the nutrition of
the cardiac muscle, as of the rest of the
muscular system, and hence tend to the
promotion of circulatOry vigor.-Medical

Opinions of a Chinese Merchant.

An extensively dressed man was at the
Union depot in Pittsburg the other day.
He was Law Joy Sun, wealthy Chinese
merchant of San Francisco, and was Ell
route to the national capital to confer
with the Chinese minister His clothes
were a combination of silks, satins and
Lace and five large diamonds were substi-
tuted for buttons on his outer garments.
When a reporter met him he said he
thought the act of congress prohibiting
Chinese immigration was as beneficial as
it was wise and hoped it would be rigidly
enforced. He thinks law is needed max

said, as rule, the worst elements among

with the fire Of rage. The hunters had
no desire to try collar and elbow wreSt-
ling match with their long clawed antag-
onist, and decided upon an ingloriOus re-
treat. The Indian gained the top of the
bank in safety, and Jimmy attempted to
follow him, but just as he had made half
that distance his footing gave way and he
rolled down to the waters edge. His
rife flew from his hand, and he had
nothing left with which to protect him
self except hunters knife that he car
ried in his belt. He, however, secured his
rifle again and made second effort to
reach the top of the bank. This time he
was more successful and, joining his In
dian companion, he came into camp.
Neither of the bear hunters said word
about their experience. Jimmy was par
ticularly anxious to keep it from his COM
panions, as he did not want them to know
that his craftsmanship was SO poor that
he could not bring down game of such
mammoth proportions when only twenty
PAGES away.
The next morning Jimmy went 20 Joe
and told him that he was going out on
another bear hunt The two repaired to
the scene of their exciting battle of the
day before, crossed the stream and made
a careful inspection of the locality. They

''I am going to follow him to his den,"
said Jimmy. 81 can't go back to- Boston
without making another effort to estab-
lish a reputation as bear hunter, when
such a splendid opportunity presented
itself"
They had followed the trail but short
distance when the Indian suddenly
I = ,kr,
saw traces of blood upon them.
''Bear dead,' he said.
''What's that?' eagerly replied Jimmy.
''Bear dead,' the Indian repeated.
Jimmy could not believe his own ears.
The bear dead! 0 no! The news was too
good. 1t couldn't be that he had actually
killed bear-a real wild, black, shaggy
bear. And yet there were the blades Of
grass smeared with the life current of the
animal.
The two pushed on for about quarter
of a mile, when they came to a little
clearing, in the center of which there was
pine tree There was clump of bushes
near it's base, where the trail suddenly
terminated. Parting the branches, most
pleasant sight was revealed to Jimmy and
his companion. Lying upon the ground,
with his body bent in half circle, lay
poor old bruin. His life had flown just at
the threshold of his home He hadn't
sufficient strength remaining when he
reached his abode to climb to his snug
quarters in the big pine tree. 1t was more
in sorrow than eXultation that Jimmy
bent over the noble animal and gave his
shining coat a plying stroke. After a
short consultation it was decided to re-
move the skin and carry it to camp. This
the Indian did with great care, and when
the trophy was shown to the boys Jimmy
was voted the greatest sportsman that had
visited that section for years.-Boston

Lincoln and the cktgymen.

On but one occasion that I can now
recall was Mr.. Lincoln's habitual good
humOr visibly overtaxed by these well
meaning but impatient advisers. A COM
mittee of clergymen from the west called
one day and the spokesman, fired with
uncomfortable zeal, poured forth a lecture
which was fault finding from beginning
to end. It was delivered with much en-
ergy, and the shortcomings of the admin
istratiOn were rehearsed with painful di-
rectness. The reverend orator made some
keen thrusts, which evoked hearty ap-
plause from other members of the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Linco1n's reply was a notable one.
With unusual animation he said: 'Gen-
tlemen, suppose all the property you pos
sess were in gold, and you had placed it
in the hands of Blondin to carry across
the Niagara river on a rope. With slow,
cautious, steady step he walks the rope,
bearing your all. Would you shake the
cable and keep shouting to him. 'Blon-
din, stand up little straighter! Blon-
din, stoop little morel Go little fasterl
Lean more to the south! Now lean a
little more to the north' Would that be
your behavior in such an emergency9 No;
you would hold your breath, every one of
you, as well as your tongues. You would
keep your hands off until he was safe on
the other side. This government, gen.
tlemen, is carrying an immense weight.
Untold treasures are in its hands. The
persons managing the ship of state in this
storm are doing the best they can. Don't
worry them with needless warnings and
complaints. Keep silence, be patient and
we will get you safe across. Good day,
gentlemen. I have other duties pressing
upon me that must be attended to-

The baby grasps at tho empty air, u
And sees wonderful sight;
For the great old sideboard over there
Is shining with silver bright.
The grandfather bangles his watch OF gold.
And she hears the wheels go click,
And she tries in her pincushion hands to hold
That bulls eye" round and thick.
They are wonderful things that the baby sees;
But, when she is tired of ALL
And they wrap her up from the evening breeze,
When the shadows begin to fall
She Is tired of the noisy and busy world,
Too tired to go to sleep,
And she won't sit up, and she won't stay curled.
And she only wakes to weep;
And she's suddenly caught in a tender hold
Where she even forgets to stir
And what to baby are silver and gold,
When her mother smiles down at her?

CONSTIPATION
Sluggish Liver,
ETC, ETC, ETC,

Unlike many kinds of cathartic
~ medicines, do not make you feel

Grafton is gentle, but thorough, and
unattended with disagreeable effects,
such as nausea, gripping pains, etc.
Seigel's Operating Pills are the best
family physic that has ever been discov-
cred. They cleanse the bowels from all
irritating substances, and leave them in
a healthy condition.
The best remedy extant for the bane
of our lives-constipatio and sluggish
liver.
These Pills prevent fevers and all
kinds of sickness, by removing all pois-
onous matter from the bowels. They
operate briskly, yet mildly, without any
pain.
If you take a severe cold, and are
threatened with fever, with pains in
the head, back, and limbs, one or two
doses OF Se1gel's Operating Pills will
break up the cold and prevent the fever.
A coated tongue, with a brackish
taste, is caused by foul matter in the
stomach. A few doses of Seigel's
Operating Pills will cleanse the stom-
ach, remove the bad taste, and restore
the appetite, and with it bring good
health.
Oftentimes disease, or partially de-
cayed food, causes sickness, nausea and
diarrhea. If the bowels are cleansed
from this impurity with a dose of
Seigel's Operating Pills, these disa-
greeable effects will vanish, and good
health will result.
Seigel's Operating Pills prevent
ill-effects from excess in eating or drink
ing. A good dose at bedtime renders a
person fit for business in the morning.
These Pills, being sugar-coated, are
pleasant to take. The disagreeable taste
common to most pills is obviated.

WAGES AND THE TARIFF.

The p~retense that the workingmen
derive the benefit OF the protective
tariff is so effectually exploded by in
d%isputable figures that it is remarkable
intelligent men can be deceived by it.
For instance the duty on pig iron Is
So 20 per ton, and it therefore might
reasonably be expected, according
to the theory OF the pr~otectiOnist, that
the owners of American furnaces would
pay Sc 70 more for labor than their
English rivals do. But as Il matter OF
tact, according to the highest estimate,
that of los. D. Meeks, u proteclionist
authority. the total cos OF the labor on
a ton of pig iron in the United States
ranges from 81 90 10 50 II. This esli-
mate is higher than tho figures in The
census reports warrant. But accept
ing these figures, and going upon the
suppOsition that if there was no tariff
the labOrer would get nothing, il i'll
be seen that, OF the tariff, the lahorer
gets 81 70 and the capitalist 80. A.
the Courier-Juurnal Observes: These
figures simply reduce the whole argu-
ment TO a palpable absurdity land ought
