ELECTRICITY in Medicine

DR.. Newman Lawrence. IN writing
concerning the many ways IN which dis
repute is brought on the application OF
electricity III medicine, points out that
considerable number of medical men
who use electricity in treatment simply
order a nurse or assistant to make the
application, taking little or no trouble
to ascertain Low far such nurse or as
sistant is competent, and giving only the
yayuest instructions. This, however,
does not alter the fact that there Is a
section of the profession-and happily 1t
is increasing-that can be relied on for
careful, conscientious and intelligent
application IF the most wonderful of
modern curative agents.-Pittsburg Dis

BOOTH IN HAMLET.

Once In iife's rosy dawn | saw the towers
or ElsinOre rise on the painted scene
The king, the ghost and the unhappy queen
raw, and fair Ophelia with her flowers,
And heard the slow bell toll the passing hours
But when you entered with detected mien.
The hers were Hs though they had not been;
Wewept with Hamlet, for his griefs were ours.
And here tonight, amid the listening crowd
That hangs upon your lips, | see the flame
THE sacred fire nor time age can quell,
Howe'er the mortal frame be changed and
bowed
Burn clear as the high places whence it came.
Pass on, thou royal Dane; hail and farewell.

Some Interesting Political Figures.

The two states in which the cOlored
voters absolutely predominant in num-
beers are South Carolina and Mississippi.
In South Carolina there are 100000
white voters and 132, 900 colored voters.
In Mississippi there are 10000 white
voters and 10000 colored voters-a
colored majority of 10000 in each state,
Louisiana has more white than colOred
voters, but it has, on the other hand
more .colored voters native born than
white voters native born. These are the
figures: Colored voters, $4,000; white
voters native BORN, 100000; foreign
born white voters, $4,000. The latter
hold the balance of power, numerically
and this is the only state in the Union
where this condition of things prevail

The Viking Ship.

Liberal subscriptions have been made
by the people of Norway toward the
fund for building and sending Viking
ship across to be exhibited at the Worlds
fair. It is intended to row and sail the
vessel the entire distance. Not less than
thirty rowers will be required to man
the ship. 1t is intended, however, as far
as possible to accept the services of none
but educated men, who may be able to
take part in the compilation Of an ac-
count of the voyage. Another literary
project in connection with the interest
ing experiment is the issue of pamphlet
on the Norwegian Viking ship and the
discovery, in A. D. 1000, by the Viking
Left the Fortunate, of Vinland, the
chief settlement Of the ancient Norsemen
in America, a territory comprising the
present states Of Massachusetts and
Rhode Island.
The Viking ship is described as a me-
mortal Of the days in which Left Eriks-
son was the first European to set his
foot on American soil. The pamphlet
on the Viking ship will also contain
brief account Of the Norway of today.
It will be published both in Europe and
America Immediately after the ship
starts. It is hoped that the proceeds of
the national subscription and of the sales
of the two books mentioned above will
leave surplus, which will be devoted
to a home for aged Norwegian sailors

Senator and ex-Postmaster General
William Freeman Villas holds his place
as the favorite son of the Wisconsin De-
mocracy, although his political oppo-
nents are fond of saying that his success
was pure accident. II SO, it was one
of those accidents liable to occur at any
time in state with large foreign born
population. There was a school law
passed which Lutherans and Catholics
did not Hke-the result was the disap-
pearance Of big Republican majority,
the retirement Of the able and popular

They have spoken-the woolen
manufacturers have-say the Re
publican organs, and that shows
that the free wool bill is bad. Out
of 1000 woolen manufacturers 935
have put themselves on record
against the bill. What of that: 1t
simply shows that the democratic
party is not legislating for the man
ufacturers, but for the people. The
manufacturers know that reducing
the tariff Oh woolen goods will COM
pei them to sell goods at a narrower
margin, and so they oppose any such
scheme. That is exactly why the
people will approve it. What the
manufacturers oppose is pretty

Fast Running.

The subject of quicker transportation
OF passengers has attaacted wide atten-
tion of late. An electric railway has
been talked Of between Chicago and
st. Louis, to run at the rate of one
hundred miles an hour. One of the
popular magazines lately had SYM
postum of articles from high railroad
authorities on the possibility of attain
ing a speed of more than sixty miles an
hour. Theorists are divided, but here
are some facts with which our readers
may content themselves until faster
time is actually made.

pull itself out of the mud. 1t says:

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent
June 10, 1882.

June 10, 1882.
Democrats find nothing but encour-
agement in the present political situa-
tion- The longer the disgraceful
scramble for the purchase of the votes
of the Southern ''nigger" delegates is
protracted at Minneapolis the more
certain will be the defeat Of the ticket
selected. That these negroes would
be in the market was predicted in this
correspondence weeks ago.
The most sensational event of the
week was story which grew out of the
visit of Father Ducy, the New York
priest who married James G.. Blaine,
Jr., to Washington. 1t is said Father
Ducy brought some letters that would,
if made public, deeply compromise the
elder Blaine, with him, and that he
carried back in lieu of those letters
S65, 900 in United States currency.
These letters are the ones that Mrs.
Blaine Jr, threatened to have publishe
if Mr.. Blaine, ST., did not withdraw
certain statements he made just after
she secured her divorce, and the money
was for her. There are two stories as
to where this money came from. One
is that it was furnished by Blaine's
friends who feared the effect of the
publication of the letters, if he should
be nominated, and the other, that they
were bought by Mr.. Harrison's friends
and at once sent by special messenger
to John G. New to be used to prevent
Blaine's nomination
Speaking Of Mr.. Blaine, I have it on
good authority that his resignation
was not voluntary, but was the result
of a very stormy interview between
himself and Harrison, witnessed by
Secretary Elkins, at which Blaine was
given his choice of writing a letter de-
claring that he would not accept the
nomination and advising his friends to
support Harrison, or Of Immediately

the bill, were Hall, Halvorson, Lind of

road to travel before it becomes law,
and it may fall by the wayside and not
reach that desirable position, but it is
gratifying to know that in one branch
of one department of the government
such measure has so many friends.
