They are Hungry.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The Republic
cans of the District of Columbia are
hungry for the spoiIs and have called
meeting to express their dissatisfac-
ton at the slowness of the administra
ton in working Democrats out of the
district offices. As they are disqualified
from voting it is not thought their pro-
test will be noticed.
ABOUT OHIO.
A Republican congressman from Ohio
stated to-day that his party would be
put to its best efforts to carry the
state. AS illustrating the anxiety felt
regarding Ohio, a census has been
taken of all the department clerks
whose legal residence is in that state
and they have been requested to be on
hand at the polls, with an animation
that failure to comply will be re-
membered against them.
A DENIAL.
1t is denied at the state department
that Fred Douglass appointment as min
ister to Hayti has been revoked, but as
Douglass still fingers in Washington, al
though the revolution in that country is
ended there is a wide belief that he would
not be personally gratfied if he should
proceed to the Haytian capital as a rep
resentatiVe of the government. The
Haytians are not inclined to receive a
cOlored man as a foreign minister when
the colored element forms so small a per
cent of the nation which sends him.

WACO, TEX, Aug. 27.-This after
noon about 4 o'clock William Bell, a
painter, was stabbed and badly wounded
by Stella Ferguson, woman of bad
character. The stabbing was done in
front of Stella S house in the part of the
city set aside by the city couns el for the
residence of prostitutes. The woman
committed the act while in ct of jealous
rage and none of the bystanders seem to
have seen it, and Bell pretends that he
does not believe she did it. Stella was ac-
cused of a similar offense several month
ago but her victim refused to prosecute
Bell was stabbed in the abdominal region
near the right side, the blade entering
the cavity.

An interesting anecdo.e is related by

THE MARRIAGE RELATION,
Proper Condition for the Highest Devel-
opment of Humanity.

opment of Humanity.
Make the marriage right and the off.
spring will tend to be right. Perhaps it
may be true that we need new ideal
of the marriage relation. The old one
in which the woman promises to obey
the man is perishing visibly before our
modern eyes. Often she ought not to do
so, for man may be fool or brute.
And the theory adopted by many ILL
mated couples that marriage is
discipline is too cynical to be either
true or attractive. The theory of easy
divorce and frequent change as a remedy
for ordinary disagreements has also Sc
rious disadvantages, and is no sound
remedy. 1t is only a poor refuge from
immediate suffering. But a new and,
perhaps, useful attitude may be gained
by looking upon matrimony, as it is, in
truth, the only complete condition of hui
manity. In no other relation can man or
woman reach their highest develop
ment. No character is full till it COM
prises its opposite. The very diver
gencies at which each party frets are
the lacking necessities of its own nat
ure. Each would be partial and narrow
without the other, and the new motto
we may propose for matrimony is the
new word, development. Marriage is
development II not quite happy, it is
still generously educational. If love
dies out from it, yet charity, wisdom,
tact and liberality of mind may remain
in 1t. Blind love may indeed remain
and leave the happy lovers without its
best effects, since even love may remain
narrow and selfish. But the man who
has learned to comprehend the feminine
nature with its delicate, sprightly.
graceful qualities in his own, and the
woman who has adopted something of
masculine independence, liberality and
courage into her constitution, will be
far better than the sole endowment nat
ure would have given either to be alone.

QUAKER LONGEVITY.
1t Is Due to Quiet Habits and Disciplined
Modes of Life.

NnoueS OI LIes
1t is quite true that many "Friends"
live long. 1t is equally true that certain
circumstances in their history initiate
against long life. Among these latter
intermarriage is, perhaps, the most i'm
portant of all. The followers of George
Fox have never been very numerous,
but until late years they have been ex-
tremely exclusive. The inevitable re-
suit of that has been extensive inter
marriage throughout the whole
community. The consequences of the
frequency of intermarriages have been,
and are still, very evident Quakers, as
class, are not muscularly robust; many
Of them are decidedly anemic, and not
a few are mentally feeble. Yet, in spite
OF these practical and serious drawbacks,
the Friends, as class, do more than
their proportion of the worlds serious
business, and they manage to attain to
high average of longevity. Now this
is exactly the kind of fact that true
medical science likes to get hold of, and
to interrogate and learn from. What is
the reason, asks the sensible man, WHY
Quakers, with so many undoubted dis
advantages, attain to such a high aver
age of success in all that constitutes
worthy life, and also succeed in eniov
ing their success to an exceptionally old
age?
The reason, we are convinced, is to be
found in their quiet habits and disci-
plined life. An ordinary doctor. or even
layman, would probably have felt much
more interest in the subject at this point
II we had been able to affirm that the
Quakers owed their success and long life
to certain drugs, as, for example, to ar
senic, PHOSPHORUS, strychnia and the
like; or to certain methods of FEEDING.
as vegetarianism, or meat eating. or
fruit eating, or wine drinking, or teeto-
talism, or smoking, and so on. But we
submit that that shows want of real
mental capacity. For what, after all, is
the true importance of the subject? Does
1t not consist in the undoubted charac-
ter of the results? The results ara
really the things to be considered. As
matter OF fact the Quakers are suc-
cessful in life. AS matter of fact thew
do live long. Then, surely, true science
will not curl the lip of scorn because
these results are obtained by what NAV
| be called natural and simple" processes.

There is something in the appearance Of

strange odor in a sick room after death
that was never perceptible before, and
this odor is apparent long before decom-
position sets in. Toa man with any ex-
perience there is also difference in the
feel of the flesh which absolutely pre-
vents any possibility of error. These
tests, if you call them tests, take place
before ice or embalming fluid is used. II
