The Eclectic.

The January Eclectic, the first num-
Der of Vol so, New Series, has discard
ed it's old cover and comes to us in a
new garb. The title-page is strong, neat
and attractive, and the table of con-
tents is conveniently printed on it. The
steel engraving is picture of "Pisa,
Italy" The opening article is Robert
Gifen's discussion of monometallism
and the silver problem, which will be
read with interest. Lady Gaskell is
the contributor of very sensible and
suggestive paper on the woman ques-
ton, under the title of ''Women of To-
day." Mrs. Leckey furnishes highly
readable paper entitled ''The Gardens
of Pompeii" We have from the great
Murray himself an account of the be-
ginning of the world-famous guide
book to- European countries, known as
Murray" An article on "Rabies," by
Louis Pasteur, will surely be read with
the deepest interest. Prof. A. H. Sayce
has an excellent paper on ancient
Arabia, and Sir Morell Mackenzie has
an article on ''The Dreadful Revival of
Leprosy." Vernon Lee and Madame
Darmesteter relate two of the charming
old Christmas legends in a very attract

I iIG INDIAN NAM :.

How Noble Red Man victimized an I'm
sophisticated Bostonian.
A gentleman, who was once we'll
known figure in Boston. but who has
for some years resided in a distant city
in the West, where he prospered and
laid up a goodly store Of this worlds
goods, purchased year or two ago
piece of land in the suburbs of the
city which he now calls home, and
proceeded to build himself a house
there. There was tradition that the
spot where the house stood had been
in former times a favorite camping
ground of the red man. and that it
poss essed an Indian name. This ne
was anxious to learn. and to that end
he applied to one of the oldest resi-
dents, who told him that in town not
far off there lived the last remnant OF
the Indian tribe that once rOamed the
forests Whereabouts, and that one of
them could doubtless give him the de-
sired information. Accordingly. he
sent to the town in question, and
the result was that in a few days an
old Indian arrayed in stOre-clothes
of the secondhand persuasion, came to
his house. He was invited to have
seat on the piazza, and after he had
settled himself comfortably his host
stated his object. Mr. 10 listened very
attentively, and when he had heard his
ouestioner all through, he said:
ugh! Indian hungry" This was
strong hint, so large amount of
broken food was brought and quickly
dispatched. Then the whole story was
gone over again, and he was urged to
tell the Indian name of the place.
ugh! Indian thirsty" he said.
Fire water was brought in tin dip
per and tossed off at gulp, and again
he was pressed for information.
ugh! Indian cold" he exclaimed.
A blanket was brought. and. having
wrapped it about him with all the dig
nifty of Roman Senator, he pointed to
the ground and pronounced one word:
"Onocee."
Great was the JOY of the proprietor.
He had found the name of his estate.
It was musical and sweet in his ears.
At once he had note paper engraved
with the word ''Onocee," his wife had
1t inscribed on her cards, and on the
great granite gate-post which stood at
the entrance to his grounds he had 1t
cut in deep and lasting letters. Soon
after he met the old resident, who, In
his early days, had learned something
of the local Indian dialect, and thanked
him for having put him in way to
rescue from oblivion the aboriginal
name OF his estate.
..And what did he say 1t WASP"
asked the old resident 'He said
sOnoccer" The venerable resident
burst into fit of laughter, which so
annoyed the proprietor of "Onocee"
that he demanded an explanation.
What are you laughing at?" he asked.
"Oh! nothing" he replied. "'Onocee'
means i don't know that's ALL" The
note paper has been destroyed, and SO
have the lady's cards and card-plate,
but the gate-post remains, sacred to
the memory Of ''Onocee. ~ Boston

during the 44th, 45th, 46th, 40th,
10th and 5Oth congresses, yet no
< tariff reform revision was consum-
mated by those bodies until the flag
end of the last, and that measure was
so manifestly sectional and unfair to
all parts of the country except the
Southern states, that hepeople took
hold and hurled the reformers out OF

ARE A REVELATION TO THE WORLD, AND ARE THE
ONLY GENUINE RHEUMATIC PLAsTERs.
Nine-tenths of all troubles which re-
quire the aid of plasters are rheumatic in
their nature. A change of weather or
sudden draft causes cold, which devel-
opes into muscular and that into infam-
matory rheumatism. And yet there has
never been such a thing as distinctly
rheumatic and strengthening plaster, and
hundreds have died suddenly where
rheumatism has attacked the heart, whose
lives might have been saved had this
plaster been applied in season. They are

pies and are purely vegetable. Prepared

THE st. Louis Globe-Democrat de
scribes the circumstances attending
che death of Henry w Grady as very
similar to those surrounding the
death of Hugh S. Legare, former at
Gorney general, and at the time Of his
death secretary of state In President
flyers cabinet. Like Mr.. Grady, he
was one of the most distinguished
Southerners of the time, and one of
thegreatest orators of his day. Grady
and Legare each made his last public
appearance in Boston, Legare going
20 that city with President Tyler in
1913 to assist in theexercises attend
ing the unwilling of the Bunker Hill
monument, and dying while there.
Death. too, in each case, came about
the time of the appearance1of the in

There is another theory of our

those who enforce the law should be
made to know what the law is, while
those who are expected to comply with
the law should be compelled to remain
In ignorance of il, OF else purchase

The state of New York has for hall II
century provided for the publication
of the laws in each county of the state,
printing the Legislative eDactments in
supplement sheets and causing them to
be tent out by the newspapers to all
their subscribers as supplements TO the
papers themselves. The superstition is
that everybody reads the papers, or
some one paper. and by thus placing
the law gratuitously before all, the state
can conscientiously demand u prompt

PUBLISHING THE LAWS.

President Stephens, in his address
before the Missouri Press Association
al Hannibal last week, again urged
upon the members the ACCESSIBILITY of
an organized movement to have the
laws published in the newspapers. He
suggested that every candidate for the
Legislature be asked to declare himself
upon the subject, and a committee of
editors has been appointed to visit
Jefferson City next winter and present
the matter to the general assembly.
The question is an important one,
not only to the newspaper men, but to
the people. The present method Of
Publishing the acts Of each session in a
small book, distributing the volume
free TO q few officials In each county,
and then charging "cost and carriage"
to citizens and taxpayers who want
copies OF the laws made to govern
them, 10 radically wrong. The law
providing for this method should be
changed, and changed quickly. If the
courts are to continue their Judgments
upon the theory that ignorance of the
law excuseth no man, then every man
has q primary right to be informed by
the state rs to what the law IT,. 1t is
a monstrous absurdity to expect that
men shall have knowledge OF matters
placed beyond the reach of their
knowledge.
How many farmers in Missouri are
