1T is not for nothing that so many
thousands have felt towards Scott a

z. G. Ross, modest printer in New
Mexico, has written a letter in The St.
Louis Republic which recalls one of the
most stormy and critical periods in our
civil history-the time when Andrew
johnson, the only American president
ever inlpeachel, was on trial before the
United States senate. There were seven
Republican senators who voted against
the presidents conviction ard thus saved
congress from what would have been
recognized afterwards as a lasting dis
grace.
The vote on the Impeachment was taken
twenty-one years ago last May. 1t was
known, beforehand, that six Republican
senators would vote for acquittal. The
vote Of the seventh one was in doubt.
After the ballot was taken the vote
stood: For conviction, So; against, 10.
The count only fell short Of the constitu-
tional two-thirI majority required by
one vote. The seventh Republican was
1Ir. Z. G. Ross, chen senator from KaE-
sas. He was recently governor Of New
Mexico. What would have happened in
case Andrew johnson had been found
guilty is summed up BY Ex-Governor
Ross in his modest letter:
Ny great hope, Tor the past twenty years. has
been to live long enough to see my action indorsed
by the American people, and that hope seems
now likely to De realized. l have always felt q

wife Kissing ii Public,

Has a man right to kiss his wife in
theater? That is the burning question
Of the hour III Kansas City, where the
authorities have decided in the negative.
Dr.. A. II. Goldstein ana his wife prepared
a test case, and after aome controversy
were escorted outside by & policeman.
The subject is & Jeliasto one, but we are
inclined to think the Kansas City decision
is right. Ii is in line with that great
tendency OF modern progress which is
steadily difero2liaJing the fields OF DO
nestle LIE ana public recreation. When
Mrs. Trollope inspected This country fifty
years ago she saw mothers nursing their
babies in the thoatcr, and fathers sitting
on the edges Of boxes in their shirtslceves
enjoying the hornely comfort Of the
family hearth. The crying infant a few
years ago was feature OF every dramatic
entertainment; but now, although 1t IS
not entirely extinct, it is greatly nit
igated by the new canon OF good form
which dictates that children shall be left
at home until they have passed the ordeal
Of testhing.
The practice OF kissing one's wife in
the theater cannot be justified on the
ground Of necessity. Suppose the per
Torrance to last two hours and half,
and half an hour to be consumed ii go
ing and returning DR.. Goldstsin had
twenty-one hours in the day which he
could have devoted to that agreeable
ceremony. That ought to be enough Tor
any man after his honeymoon, during
which time he ought not be at the tboater
at all. Il no had been kissing another
mans wife, the case would have been
different; bat to kiss ones own wife on
such an occasion is an obtrusiye display
Of gool fortune for the more sake Of
o5tensa5ion, like wearing diamonds at
breakfast. It on8ht to be suppressed in
the intoreso Of the peace Of mind OF the
unmarried.-5an Francisco Examiner.

A Coed Remedy.

ms report to the French Academy OF
Medicine, Dr. Daithell stated that the
vapour Of liquid tar and turpantine
Womb dissolve the fbrinous tissues
which choke up the Throat III Group and
diDltheria lie described th9 process OF
treatment Cd follows: Take a tablespoon
oaah OF turpantino and liquid tar; pat
them into a tin pan Oh cup, and set fire
to the mixture, taking care to have Q
larger pan under it as safeguard
against tic spread Of tho flames. A
dense, roainous smoke arisea, making the
room dark. The patient Immediately
seems to experience relief; the choking
and rattle stop; tho patient falls into a
slumbor and seems to inhale The smoke
with pleasure. The fbrinous membrane
seen becomes detached, and the patient
coughs up microbes, which, when caught
in glass, may be seen to dissolve in the
smoke. Ia the course CT three days the
patient entirely RECEIVERS. This remedy
las proved successful in many instances,
and houaaAolders everywhere should
bear It in mind. A prominent nan in
Charlstown, who applied The treatment
to his own child, after tie sufferer was
given ever as incurabIo by the family
physician, suggests that before burning
the ingredients named, all such articles
as would be likely to be injured by the
thick smoke should be removed or COW
cred up closely. This remedy Is further
claimed to act as a disinfectant IS we'll
asa curative agent.

I suppose that wrestling is the Oldest OF
all the athletic arts of our race. Long De-
fore men boxed, they "buffeted." This, as
far as we can ascertain, consisted IN TWO
men standing before each other with tneir
arms down and first one and then the otner
striking his opponent on the face, head ana
neck with the fat hand. Richard the Lion
hearted is said to have been bufeted IN TINS
way by Friar Tuck, one of Robin HOODS
crew, and to have given blow in return
that knocked that ecclesiastical worthy
completely out to use the modern sporting
phrase. This ancient sport is not quite yet
extinct, by the way, occurring still In Jew
of the country fairs in the by-ways Oh En-
gland. 1t also reappears IN some very cruel
but rare sports. One of these is when eacn
of the two men gives the other the little nnger
of his left hand to chew; another Is wnen eacn
of the two gives his left arm for the o1ner 70
burn with lighted cigar. The former lnvar- sh-
iably results IN the manning OF Dotn paIues
and the latter in the infection OF gnasty purns
that require weeks in being cured. .,,
Wrestling in England and the colonies stiI
retains much of its old-time popularity. In
every place are professionals and amateurs
who keep the sport alive and who ENJOY local
popularity that is hard for US Americans 10 un-

has been and can be argued that such ar
rangements in many cases have answered
very well. But it is not natural. Nature
revolts against such unions. There should
be marriage of the heart with marriage OF
the body. No considerations of wealth or
position should induce either man or woman
to sell the best of them-that is, their hearts.
There is always the danger that sooner or
later either of them, or both, may meet IN
their walk through life with that other twin
soul, that poets tell us (snd justly. l think
is wandering aimlessly through the world
looking Tor the one who was born to be It's
other self. Such meetings are fraught with
danger. For, says Solomon the wise,
Love is strong as death.
Many waters cannot qaench love, neither
Can the foods drown it"

SOME GREAT wREsTLERS.
Wrestlers are like boxers. They have their
day, grow superannuated and disappear from
public view. There are few seeming excep-
tions to the rule, just as there are in boxing.
Just as Jem Mace held up for more than ~
years, SO Homer Lane is almost as good to-day
as he was when he surprised the sporting
world some 30 years ago. A wrestler seldom
attains his best form till be is In the nelghbor
hood of 80 years of age. He then continues
in his good condition. providing he takes
anything like proper care of himself until ne
is, say so. The present champion of England
