A Friend Of Labor.

The Courier-Herald takes pleasure in
bearing testimony to the fact that in the
entire record of the Eighth district no rep
resentative in congress has more carefully
and earnestly guarded the interests of all
classes of the people than Col. Bliss. AS q
member of the committee on labor, he was
instrumental in framing and pushing through
the eight hour bill. The bill declares eight
hours as a days work for all laborers, work
men and mechanics employed by or on be-
half of the government of the United States,
or by contractors doing work or furnishing
material for the government AS the eX-
preston of the government in favor Of
shorter hours of labor, this bill will strength
Ell the hands of the working classes all over
the land in their demand for an eight hour
day.
Another labor measure of equal impor-
tance, the alien contract bill, also bears the
stamp of Congressman Bliss approval.
This bill is entitled SAn act to prohibit the
importation and immigratian of foreigners
and aliens under contract or agreement to
perform labor In the United States. its terri
tories, and the District of Columbia" y

ALCOHOL AND THE HEART.


The smallest amount of alcohol, says
DR.. Kate Mitchell in the Temperance
Banner, will increase the beats of the
heart, and people generally take it in
order to produce this effect AS the heart
beats more quickly, the blood seems to
circulate more freely through the blood
vessels, and there is for the moment a
feeling of renewed energy and strength
all over the body. When, however, the
effects of the alcohol have worn off, the
heart beats more slowly than it should do,
and the person feels depressed and Ian
guild until some more of the same drug is
taken. Thus the heart is always doing
more work than 1t should do, and never
getting enough rest, and in time the extra
wear and tear begins to tell upon it, and
it labors hard to do the work which it
ought TO accomplice easily and unrestrain-
edly. The greater the amount of alcohol
taken daily, the greater is the injury to
| the heart. AS time goes by its muscular
fbres become thickened, and there is fat
amongst them (this is called fatty degen-
eration), which prevents free action OF
the heart. The lining membrane of this
organ is also infamed by the continual
passage of alcohol over it, ana it becomes
reddened and thickened. The valves also
suffer in the same way, and at last may
become SO diseased that they are powerless
to prevent the blood flowing in wrong
direction. When this occurs the whole
circulation of the blood in the body il
interfered with and disturbed, and dealt
must result because it is impossible t.
bring the heart back to healthy condi
ton. When once the heart is SO disease
it is incurable, and even total abstinenc
will not be able to do anything to help il
The best thing is to prevent such terri
BILE state of things from happening. fc
prevention is better than cure.
Tt must be remembered that the hear
which is very hard working organ Git
work being equal to lifting about Il
pounds one foot in twenty-four hours
must have rest, and that if this rest
shortened. as it is by the use of alcohe
all the evils above mentioned will gradua
g ly take place, aud life must inevitably
:: shortened.

NOTHING AND SOMETHING.


cts nothing to me-" the beauty said
With careless toss OF her pretty head;
''.rhe man is weak if he can't refrain
From the cup You say is fraught W it'll pain"
1t was something to her in after years.
When hereyes were dreuciled with burning tears
AS she watched in lonely grief and dread,
And started TO hear q staggering tread.
"It's nothing to me- the mother said;
u have no fear that my son will tread
Tie downward path Of sin and shame.
And crush my heart and darken his name.'
It was something to her when her only son
i ruined body and a shipwrecked soul.
ITS nothing to me-" the merchant said.
As over the ledger he bent his head;
I'm busy to-day with tare and tret,
And have no time to fIme and fret"
1t was something to him when over the wire
\ message came from a funeral pyre-
a drunken conductor had wrecked train,
And hswiie and child were among the slain.
'n's nothing to ne, the young man cried;
In his eyes was IL fash Of scorn and pride
81 heed not the dreadful things you tell;
can rIic myself, know full we'll"
Twas something to him when in prison he lay,
The victim OF drink life ebbing away
AS he thought OF the wretched child and wife,
And the mournful wreck of his wasted life.
'It's nothing to me-" the voter said
1.-The party's loss is my greatest dread;
Then he gave his vote for the liquor trade.
Tho hearts We're crushed and drunkards made.
1t was something to him in after life,
When his daughter became drunkard's wife
And her hungry children cried for bread,
And trembeu TO hear their fathers tread.
Is it nothing to us to idly sleep,
While the cohorts OF death their vigils keep,
Luring he young and thoughtless in
ndgrind in our midst q grist of sin?
1t is somethiug-yes, FOR us all to stand
And clasp by faith our Savior's hand
10 learn to labor, live and fight
On the side OF God and changeless right.

WE Know HIM WELL,

WE KNOW HIM WELL,
We know him well. He is a man
Built OIL q most stupendous plan,
Flushed with health and strong OF limb;
A hero bold; q warrior grim
TO those who know him not Le may be
AT home he's helpless as baby.
He let's his tired little wife,
Who strangely loves him as her life,
Wait on him with devotion rare,
While with most complacent air
And perfect ease, before the blaze lie
Lolls around-because he's lazy.
His wife, afraid to own her soul,
Chops the wood and lugs the coal,
Draws the water, shovels snow,
While he, giant, sees her grow
More delicate and less admired,
Doing his work-because he's tired,
Shame on this semblance OF man,
Shame on the woman, too, who can,
So void of female spunk and sense,
Coodle a creature so immense
Andgood for nothing Spanking, maybe
By real men might help the baby.

A Fatal Quarrel.


"A Fatal Quarrel.
Monday afternoon NJ. Dunckle, of Elk
creek, called at The UNION office and
left the particulars OF a fatal quarrel
between G. Carter and n. La Flemme,
both OF that place. Friday afternoon
they met at the farm house OF Steven
Nicholas, and after conversing for some
time, La Flemme picked up a stone and
threw it at Carter, but missed his aim
He then picked up a stick OF wood and
and threw that at him, but this also
failed to have the desired affect He
picked up another piece, and, stepping
l-.----:>I:--. ,---,-7 .A,-:41-,l A.,
force he could muster. This time his aim
was true. The wood struck Carter on
the side os his head, knocking him sense
less and nearly severing his ear. He was
picked up by bystanders and carried to
his home where he recovered conscious
ness, but relapsed into insensibility.
1t was then thought best by his friends
to place him under a doctors charge,
and consequently he was removed 10
Fort Meade, a distance OF twenty miles.
The blow had been dealt too hard, how
ever, for a doctor to be of any service,
and he passed away Monday morning at
10 o'clock. During the combat Carter
had stood quietly in one place, Offering
no resistance or making any hostile dem
onstrations. La Flemme, on hearing O
his victims death, expressed great sor
row that his anger had led him to thu
deed. He claims that Carter was Of {
quarrelsome disposition and had pro
voked him until it became unbearable
He proceeded at once to Sturgis wher
he gave himself up to the authorities ant
was placed in Jail. The trouble ha
been pending for some time, as an oil
grudge over some land matters ha
risen some months ago between the mer
