RESORTS.

Puck says: 1.-THE white man who
drives 4 coal cart has to resort to SOAP
and water, just as y negro who has
spent the day in whitewashing."
But the most strange things OF all
are usually resortsd to when man
gets sick.
OF course he dosent want Doctor
at least not at first. He usually ROee
to the so'cxlled saloon and gets Il drink
which makes him feel rather dazed, 80
he takes aDhther, and comes home
temporarily eiated, suppOsing himself
cured.
When he wakes next morning, with
q headache twice as bad rs ever, and
feeling feverish and cross, he concludes
he will have. to try something else.
lie takes y dose of whatever be hap
pens to- have in the house-some live,
renovator, kidney evaporator, or heart
eniarger-and sets forth saying il he
isn't better tomorrow he will send for
the doctor,
Next morning ne is sick in bed; the
doctor is called, shakes his head, pre-
scribes two or three kinds of medicine,
according to his medical creed, but al
ways insists upon perfect quiet, and
that the patient must not 20 to his
| office for two weeks Or the result will
I've serious.
lie does, in truth, lie in bed for y
week or ten days, Ills recovery retarded
by Il multitude of remedies, and the:
knowledge that h,s business is going
to ruin in his absence. When he does
drag out ut last, l,e finds that the
family must deny themselves of every
| thing but the common necessities Of
life for some time to come, in order
that the doctors bill may Oe paid, and
repairs made in business.
Now, the proper thing to have done
Was to have bought 4 hottie Of New
Style, Pleasant Taste Vinegar BiLtprs.
the moment he felt the first headache.
and to have taken two tablpspOOnfns
at once. Two or three half-doses two
days apart, after the first dose had
taken effect, would have prevented his
illness, and his consequent financial
less.

Tne Iowa Secretary Of State has
made a ostsensible suggestion in
regard to the best form of making
permanent memorials in honor of
tho heroes of the late war. He
suggests the substitution of tine

.lisks and shafts that we call monu-
mentA In connection with these
convenient public halls, library
rooms, and rooms for displaying
and taking care of regimental tro-
Phies, flags, statues and paintings
Of distinguished soldiers, &C.,
could be appropriately made. In
these buildings the posts of the
Grand Army, the Women's Relief
Corps, and Sons Of Veterans could
find permanent and inexpensive

The people can elect a Marshal for

do a Congressman. Governors of
States have had their patronage
reduced to very small proportions,
and the world moves much as it
did when they appointed every
state and county Office. Give the
people the right to elect, as far as
practicable, all federal officers in
districts defined by law, and the
President will have time for states
manship, which Bishop Potter de-
clares he has not now. Congress-
mon will be no longer the attor-
neys of applicants for Office at the
departments or at the executive
chamber. Political parties would,
under the elective method, be about
: equal eharers of the federal Offices,
- they are now of county and
state Offices. Thus an offensive pa,-
tisanship will be largely mitigated.
Candidates will make their appeal
directly to the people, in an open
way, and not by services rendered
on behalf of aspirants for higher
places. This change will not Of
course cure all political ills, but it
would be q much better relief than
tho British or Chinese civil service
systems can furnish.
