Our esteemed contemporary the New

office, inquiries whether President Harrison

President Cleveland endorsed treason by
appointing former secessionists to 1fice
The analogy is perfect.

Lighting the roadside where naught else grow,

Not only of the wheat from teeming fields,

Philadelphia Press. ]

Because President Harrison carried out
the laws of Congress concerning the seal
fisheries the Democratic newspapers, assist
ed by the press Of Canada and England, are
savagely attacking him. But had he refused
to execute the laws, and permitted the valu-
able seal industry to be destroyed, what
would have been the attitude Of the Free
trade pressf He would have been
eensured just the same, but with
some reason. Nov the attacks are harmless
because based on faisehood and melted by
foreign ground. England has recognized the
justice Of the American position in regard to
the seal industry, and that 10 why she has not
shown any great desire to back up Canadian
pretensiou. 1t il safe to say that no Repub-
ican Administration will abandon our rights
in this matter, whatever may be expected of
the representatives Of the Free-trade Demo
cracy.

DETROIT, July 3O.-Several days
ago Patrick GaIlaher felt in his coat
pocket for his pipe. 1t was not there
and its absence caused him to make
terrible wish. His wife reproved
him. "Well, don't care" he said.
III ere, with this uplifted hand to
heaven, pray that my Creator will
paraIyze the man who has my pipe"
Before his utterance had died away
Gallaher felt severe twitching of the
heart and complained of feeling I'M
we'll. A doctor was hastily dis
patched for, and said that he had re-
ceived stroke of paralysis. Death
ensued in a few hours. The grief
stricken family were at loss to I'M
derstand his sudden death. Satur-
day, in looking through his clothes,
removed at the time of the paralytic
stroke, they were filed with supersti-
tious horror, for in one of his outside
pockets was found the Missing pipe,
which had worked its way into the
lining.

The Annual Catholic Picnic to
be Held at Fishers Hill.

The annual Catholic picnic, for
the benefit of the Winchester Mis-
sions, usually held ON the Island at
Harper's Ferry, will take place Sat
urday, August 18th. at Fishers Hill
picnic grounds, under the direction
of Rev. Thos. ]. Murray, assistant at
the S. II. Church in Winchester, the
Rev. j. B. O'Reilly being absent on
vacation at his home in Ireland
Fishers Hill Park is natural pleas
ure ground, located on the B. & o.
r. r., which on the day of tile picnic
will run two excursion trains, one
from Staunton, Va, and the other
from Harper Ferry, w. Va. These
trains stop on the edge of the picnic
grounds, and it takes only few min
utes walk to reach them. In the
heart of the beautiful grounds,
little cool, crystal brook flows in a
hollow, dotted here and there in the
most picturesque manner, with great
white rocks. Some of them are COW
cred with different colored MOSES,
and thick with brilliant wild flowers.
The trees, some of them very huge,
and bearing still. the scars from shot
and shell of the late war, meet over
head; the clear emerald water reflects
the surrounding shore, now SO quiet
and peaceful, in shifting CLEANS of
light and shadow. A number Of
mountain streams bubble up sudden
" in the most impossible places, to
quench the thirst, and tine tables will
furnish all that can be desired in the
way of eatables. There will be mu-
sic and a number of amusements,
and nothing left undone by those in
charge to contribute to the days
enjoyment. A large number of per-
SONS are expected, and it will be a
good opportunity for friends to meet
and spend some pleasant hours to-
gether.

Make the Potomac NavigabIe.

There is one good way to put an
end to the question of what shall be
done with the Chesapeake & Ohio
Canal, and that is to make the Poto-
mac river navigable by system Of
locks and dams TO be built by the
United States government. Slack
water navigation would be far prefer
able to the canal, and it is a perfectly
feasible plan. There are no engineer
ing difficulties that could not easily
be surmounted, and the cost would
not be out of proportion to the bene-
fits. The Potomac is a noble stream
that stretches from the ocean to the
great coal fields of Maryland and
West Virginia, and the coal traffic
alone would justify its improvement,
to say nothing of the other branches
of business along its course that would
assume vast proportions if given an
opportunity for development. Every
year the government appropriates
enough money to improve insignifi-
cant creeks to make the Potomac nav
igable from source to mouth-why
shall it not have the same advantages?
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are
annually expended on Cheesequake
Creek, Gowanus Bay, Sumpowanus
Inlet and Saugerties Harbor-is not
the Potomac as deserving as they?
This is a matter that deeply con-
Germs the people of Maryland, Vir-
ginia and West Virginia. Let the
Representatives in Congress from
these States be appealed to by their
constituents, and the matter pushed
so vigorously and enthusiastically
that in few years the melodius bray
of the. canal mule will he heard no
more forever, while the business-like
snort of the steamboat will make mu-
sic in the land.
It's been sail quiet along the Po-
tomac' long enough. Let's have the
hustle of successful business along
its lovely shores.-Shep. Register.
We see no good reason why the
above may not be accomplished, and
cordially second the proposition of
the Register in the matter.

Remedy for sunstroke.

Whatever is to be done in this dis
ease, must be done quickly. Clint
cal, as well as experimental observa-
tions, enforces this doctrine. There
should in such cases be no waiting
for the doctor. The remedy is so
simple, the death so imminent, that
the good Samaritan passing by should
save his brother. The good Samari-
tan must, however, have cool head,
to be useful. Not every man who
falls unconscious on hot day has a
sunstroke. There is fortunately one
criterion so easy of application that
any one can use it. Go at once to the
fallen man, open his shirt bosom and
lay the hand upon his chest; if the
skin be cool, you may rest assured it
is not sunstroke. If, on the contrary
the skin be burning hot, the case is
certainly sunstroke, and no time
should be lost. The patient should
be carried to the nearest pump or
hydrant, stripped to his waist, and
bucketful after bucketful of cold wa
ter dashed over him until conscious
ness begins to return. or the intense
heat of the surfaces decidedly
abates.-St. Louis Magazine.
