At Work Beneath n River in a Pneu-
matte CaiSSOn.

The pressure of air in caissons ut
10 feet below the surface of the water
would be fifty pounds to the square
inch. Its effect upon the men ent, ring
and working in the cais5on has been
carefully noted in various works, and
these effects are sometimes very seri-
Gus; the frequency Of respiration is in
creased, the action of the heart be-
comes excited, and many persons be-
come affected by what is known as the
"caisson disease" which is accompanied
by extreme pain and in many cases re-
suits in more or less complete paraly-
sis. The execution of work
within deep pnuematic caisson is
worth a moments consideration. Just
above the surface of the water is a busy
force engaged in laying the solid blocks
of masonry which are to support the
structure. Great derricks lit the stones
and lay them in their proper position.
Powerful pumps are forcing air, regu-
larry and at uniform pressure, through
tubes to the chamber below. Occa-
sioually stream of sand and water
issues with such yeo 'ity from the d s.
charge pipe that, in the night, the fric-
ton of the particle causes it to look
like a stream of living fire. Far below
is another busy force Under the great
pressure and abnormal supply of oxy-
gen they work with an energy which
makes it impossible to remain there
more than few hours. The water
from without is only kept from enter
ing by the steady action of the pumps
far above and beyond their control. An
irregular settlement might overturn the
structure. Should the descent of the
caisson be arrested by any solid under
its edge, immediate and judicious ac-
ton must be taken. Ii the obstruc-
ton be log it must be cut off outside
the edge and pulled into the chamber.
powders must be undermined and
often must be broken up by blasting.
The excavation must be systematic and
regular A constant danger menaces
the lives of these workers, and tho
wonderful success with which they
have accomplished what they have I'M
dertaken is entitled to notice and adm5
ration.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

Headstrong liberty is lashed with woe
| Blessed are the merciful for they shall
obtain mercy.
Merit in appearance is oftener reward
| ed than merit itself.
The eye of the master will do more
work than both his hands.
If thou hast fear of those who com
mand thee, spare those who obey thee.
We always live prospectively, never
retrospectively, and there is no abiding
moment.
How little do they see what is, who
frame their hasty judgments upon that
which seems!
1t matters not how man dies, but
how he lives.
There are no greater wretches in the
world than many of those whom people
in general take to be happy.
Think when you are enraged at any
one, what would probably become your
sentiments should he die during the dis
pute.
There is what is called the highway to
posts and honors, and there is a cross
and by way, which is much the shortest.
Wise anger is like fire from the flint;
there is great ado to bring it out; and
when it does come, it is out again i'm
mediately.
A person may not merit favor, as that
is only the claim of man, but can never
demerit charity, for that is the command
of God.
There is mean in all things. Even
virtue itself hath stated limits; which
not being strictly observed, it ceases to
be virtue.
Human brutes, like other beasts, find
snares and poison in the provisions of
life, and are allured by their appetites
to their destruction.
Many years you may see, but happy
ones you cannot see without deserving
them. These virtue, honor and knowl-
edge alone can merit, alone can produce.
A mans desires always disappoint
him; for though he meets with some
thing that gives him satisfaction, yet it
never thoroughly answers his expecta-
tiOn.

CIVIL-SERYICE REFORM

The New Y York Tribune last week pub
lished an article which is a neat compan-
iOn-piece for Mr.. Cleveland's glossy
sketch of the progress of eivil-service re-
form under his Administration. Twen-
ty-four of the broad columns of the
Tribune are filed with detailed review
of fthe Presidents appointments. Names
and dates are given, and the list includes
two murderers and the tools of two 9TH
ers, five notorious dueliSts, and three
rioters appointed to be Judge of
the very court by which he had been
once sentenced to prison. 1t includes
five persons who had been indicted or
convicted for frauds against the revenue
service. 1t includes jury fixer, dead
beat, lawyer guilty of defrauding eli
entS, and an attorney who had cleared
notorious bandits by contriving a defeat
of justice, all appointed to be Judges.
Persons were appointed Pension Agents
who had been indicted for violating pen
sion laws. Persons guilty of robbing
the mails were appointed postmaSters or
mail agents-one when appointed was
in Jail for robbing the very office to which
he was appointed. Liquor-sellers, their
sons or attorneys, were appointed Inter
nal Revenue officials. An impeached
State Treasurer, defrauding county or
town Treasurers, seven forgers- one OF
whom had served two terms for that of

there was no charge and compelling her

LIVE AND LET LIVE"

Cleveland Leader.
The policy of the Republican party
with respect to the people of this coun-
try is to Live and let live"
The Republican party is opposed to
cheap labor. 1t is also opposed to cheap
products, except as they may be cheap
ened by more skillful methods of pro-
duction, without reducing the wages of
labor
The natural resources of this country
are such that labor, intelligently and in
dustriOusly applied, can obtain as its
share of the rewards of industry and en-
terprise twice as much as in Europe,
providing that it is not brought into di-
rect competition with cheap labor. Live
and let live"
The policy of free trade countries is
to let capital "live" and labor merely
exist. The policy of protection is to let
both labor and capital live. Capital can
always ''liye." 1t is self protective. 1t
can make just as much in the long run
under free trade as under protection,
though change from protection to free
trade would temporarily impair its in
vestment and earning power. In order
to maintain the "Live and let live" pol
icy, all we need to do is to protect la
Dor from the competition of foreign
products.
There is point in cheapness beyond
which we cannot go without injury to
labor With most products we have
reached that point. Whoever demands
cheaper goods demands cheaper labor
The Republican party is opposed to
cheaper labor. 1t is therefore opposed
to cheapening American products at the
expense of labor.
One of the greatest and meanest of
all sins is the sin of cheapness, when
practiced at at the expense of labor
The true American policy is to Live
and let live" and that's the Republican
policy.

Constitutional Catarrh.

No single disease has entalled more suffering OF
fastened the breaking up of the constitution than
Catarrh. The of smell, of taste, of sight, of
hearing the human voice, the mnd-one or more,
and sometimes ALL yield to its destSuctive influence
The prison it distributes throughout the system
attacks every vital force, and makes up the most
robust of constitutions. Ignored, because but lit
tie understood, by most physicians, impotently as
sailed by qnacks and charlatanS, those suffering
from it have little hope to be relieved OF il this side
of the grave. IL is time, then, that the popular
treatment of this terrible disease by remedies with
in the reach of all passed into the hands ut once
competent and trustwhrthy. The new and hither-
to untried method adopted by Dr. Sanford in the
preparation of his Radical Cure has won the hearty
approval of thousands. II is instantaneous in af-
fOrding relief in all head colds, Sneezn Snuiiling
and ObStructed breathing, and rapidly removes the
most oppressive symptoms, clearing the head,
sweetening the breath, restoring the senses Of
SMELL taste and hearing, and neutraliZing the con-
Stitutonal tendency of the disease towards the
lungs, liver and Kidneys
Sanford's Radical Cure consists of one bottle Of

TWO WAYS. CHOOSE WHICH.

There are two usual ways doing what
Nature sometimes does incompetely,

swallow drastic purgative which evacu-

the other is to take Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, the effect of which is not violent.
but sufficiently thorough, and which does
not gripe the intestines If the first is
| selected, the person employing it need not
expect permanent benefit, and he cannot
hope to escape the debilitating reaction
wich leaves the organs as bad or worse off
than before. If, on the otner hand, he re-
sorts to the Bitters, he can rely upon the
restoration of regular habit of body,

THE speedieSt piece of justice, per
haps, that has ever been administered
in the State of Ohio, is now to be re-
corded. Bill Coontz committed an in
famous crime at Marietta the latter part
of last week. On Saturday night Sc
cret session of the court was held there,
a special grand jury impaneled, which
soon found a bill of Indictment, Coont2
pleaded guilty, was sentenced ro seven
years Imprisonment, and on Sunday
morning was landed in the penitentiary
If fragrant criminals were always dealt
with in a similar manner crime would
soon become comparatively unknown.

Our eldest child, now six years of age, when al
infant six months old was attacked with virulent
malignant skin disease. All ordinary remedies
failng,we called our family physician, who attempt
ed to cure it, but it spread with almost incredible
rapidlty, until the lower portion of the little fel
lows person, from the middle of the back down to
his knees, was one solid rash-ugly, painful, blOtch
ed, and malicious. We had no rest at night, nc
peace by day. Finally, we were advised to try the
Cuticura Remedies. The effect was simply mary
elOus. In three or four weeks complete cure was
wrought, leaving the little fellows person white
and healthy as though lie had never been attacked

GUILT, though it may attain temporal
splendor, can never confer real happi-
ness; the evil consequences of our crimes
long survive their commission, and, like
the ghosts of the murdered, forever
haunt the steps of the malefactor; while
the paths of virtue, though seldom those
of worldly greatness, are always those of
pleasantness and peace.

a fact that the same motions and mus
