our excuse is that until the past week there
has been dearth of subjects to write
about, owing to the principal actors in the
great arena being engaged in winding up
their more profitable business affairs, pre-
paratory to engaging in the expensive pas
time Of office hunting.
1 am reminded that it Is high time to
resume business at the old stand and, there
FORE dash off the following budget, let it be
news or otherwise.
The hottest kind of fights are now in
progress among our friends, the enemy,
and it is now most difficult to determine
just which particular candidates are max
ing the most lively combat. With a nip
and tuck contest for the nomination for
Congress between Reilly and Shepherd,
with the chances in favor of the former,
and a free-for-all scramble for District
Attorney between Cumming, Ryan,
Ulrich, Sells, Rinck and Minogue, you
would suppose the Democracy had enough
to keep it employed, but when the cam
paigr is gsrnished with first class hustle
for seat on the bench you can imagine
how exciting and Interesting politics here
abouts have become.

them was John Matthews, an eight-yesr-

of an engine. Thomas, his brother, II

being crushed upon the track, but the
bumper of the engine struck the boy on the

RYoN LEADS PERsHIN0.

No matter what the final outcome, and
immaterial as it is what moneyed papers
will tell you, put 1t down as fact that
John w. Ryon leads Judge Pershing in
the race for the judicial nomination
Never before have the Ryons and their
friends worked harder in political fight
than now, and the result is beginning to
foreshsdow itself-just as say it-with
Mr.. Ryon in the lead.
Looking at it from a Republican and
Independent standpoint, l cannot do as the
optimistical Miners Journal man does
that is, prevsricste. The truth is mighty
and will prevail. Unless some clear
headed mana.er takes hold of Judge
Pershing's canvass he is goner. And the
first thing this manager should do is to
muzzle the aforesaid Journal. For, look
you, it is making enemies for the Judge
every day. A novice in political writing
! hashed up for the public on Saturday a
melange of the grossest errors that ever
appeared in public print in this county.
In the first place, it fixed the Democratic
county convention on the 10Th inst, when
every body knows that event will come off
on the 18th in Pottsyille, and on the 10Th
the Legislative convention will be held at
fremont. Then he puts Judge Pershing
in the lead for Judge when every body who
makes any pretension to political sagacity
knows that Mr.. RyoD is head and shoulders
ahead in the race. Both these errors might
be forgiven were they not followed by the
following outrageous blunder;
'Mr. Ryon has unfortunately allied himself
with certain candidates, forming combinations
whose purposes are not to accomplish harmony
so much as personal gain. This exhibition Of
unrestrained selhshness and venality combined
with that old fight in this county against the
Ryon's has had potential influence in inviting
odium upon Mr.. Ryon's candidacy. 1t is, there
fore, very apparent that his plans have gang
aglee.'"
The HERALD and its Pottsville corres-
pondent are for Koch, as every body knows
but we are purveyors of truthful news and
we can brook no purposely contorted state
ments like the above. The wish is father
to the thought with the Journals novice
just the same as Judge Pershing is father
in-law to the Journal s owner,
PROPHETIC WORDS.
Recently l met a prominent Democrat
who lives in one of the lower townships.
He has more than ordinary intelligence for
a Democrat, and he conversed about the
campaign with the grace and knowledge
that would do justice to Bourke Cochran or
Matt. Quay. He said, among other things
that he was Democrat from away up the
creek and would support the Democratic
ticket from stem to stern. But" said he,
II tell you, and mark we'll the words, if
Judge Pershing is nominated Dick Koch
will get thirty Democratic votes in this
township, and l know the same spirit is
abroad throughout the whole lower section,
because my house is central one and
Democrats from every township stop their
on their way TO and from town, and If their

Woman in Sickness.

In no situation, and under no circum-
stances, does the female character appear
to such advantage as when watching by
the bedside of sickness. The chamber of
disease may indeed be said to be wopAans
home, We there behold her lovliest; most
attractive point of view-frm, without be-
ing harsh; tender, yet not weak; active,
yet quiet. gentle, patient uncOmplaining,
vigilant. Every sympathetic feeling that
so peculiarly graces the feminine character
is there called forth, while the native
strength of mind which has hitherto slum-
bered in inactivity is aroused to its full en-
ergy. With noiseless step she moves about
the chamber of the invalid; her listening
ear ever ready 10 catch the slightest mnr-
mur; her quick, kind glance ever ready to
interpret the mnttered wish, and supply
the half formed want. She smootbes with
careful hand the uneasy pillow that sup
ports the aching head or with cool hand
smoothes the fevered brow, or proffers to
the glazed and parching lip the grateful
draught, happy if she meets one kind
glance in payment for her labor of love-
Hers, too, is the low whispered voice,
which breathes of life and hope; of health
in store for happy days to come; or
tells of better and OF heavenly rest, wheTe
neither sorrow nor disease can come; where
the dark power of death shall no more
have dominion over the frail, suffer-
ing perishing clay. Through the dim, ST.
lent watches of the night, when all around
are hushed in sleep, it is hers to keep long
yigils, and to hold communion with her
God, and silently lift her heart in fervens
prayer for the prolongation of life for
which she would cheerfully sacrifice her
own. And even when exhausted nature
sinds to brief repose, forgetfulness is de-
MED. Even in her sleep sheseems awake
to this one great object of her care. She
starts and rises from her slumbers, raises
her head, and watches with dreamy eyes
the face she loves, then sinks again to rest
to start with every chime of clock OF dis
tant sound, which formerly had passed un-
heard, or only served as lullaby to her
sweet sleep.

where the breadth narrows to IA inches.
Within this recess it is possible for man
of feet 10, and of prOportionate breadth,
to sit in squatting posture; but it is
very tight fit" Tam particular in giving
the dimensions of this recess, because the
late Captain Thomas, naval officer, who
devoted much time and study to these sub
terranean structures, and who found this
little recess on the right hand of many
of their doorways, regarded them as prob
ably identical with the ''guard-cells" of the
Pictish "brochs." Captain Thomas quite
realized that if these were really "guard-
cells" they were useless for any but men of
distinctly small stature-an attribute of the
Picts, according to tradition.
1t is difficult to convey true idea of
such buildings by written description alone
but perhaps these notes will give the read
ers of "Science" some impression of an ex-
ample of very interesting class of struc-
ture

Danger in crowding the Toes,
New York sun. .

II is well known that the connection
between the nerves in the feet, and espe-
cially those in the great toe, and the brain
and general nervous organization is strong.
DIR. Brown-Equard mentions patient who
whenever he bore the weight of his body
on the toes of his right foot, became vio-
lently insane. He also speaks of another
case where pressure on the toe caused
severe nervous paroxysms.
These cases simply show the importance
of proper care of the feet, a portion of
the body that many people neglect. They
think that they can crowd their feet into
tight shoes and abuse them without serious
results. They can't do it, however. This
crowding of five toes into space not large
enough for three, results in pressing the
joints out Of shape and sometimes making
them inactive and powerless. No man
with his toes half paralyzed can walk pro-
perly. The control of the toes is necessary
for springy step. Broad soles and low
heels give room for all the toes and allow
perfect freedom of action to every muscle.
People who have false standards Of beauty
for the feet, however, insist on wearing a
shoe that is not natural in shape, and the
result is great discomfort, and in some
cases death.
As consequence Of these abuses We
are forgetting how to walk properly.
Perhaps you don't believe ii, but just
watch the parade on Broadway some fine
afternoon and see how few men and women
walk on the street as if they we're not con-
scious of tight shoes aud deformed feet.

What Evils Rise From Gossip.

Gossip, public, private, social-to fight
against it either by word or pen, seems,
after all, like fighting with shadows.
Everybody laughs at it, protests against it,
or at least, encourages others in it-quite
innocently, unconsciously, in such small,
harmless fashion-yet we doit. We must
talk about something, and it is not all of
us who can find rational topic of conver-
sation, discuss it when found. Many, too,
who in their hearts hate the very thought
of tattle and tale bearing, are shy of lifting
up their voice against it, lest they shonld
be ridiculed for Quixotism, or thought to
set themselves up as more Tirtuous than
their neighbors Others, like our lament
ed friends, Maria and Bob, from mere
idleness and Indifference, long kept hover
ing over the unclean stream, at last drop
into it and are drifted away yit. Where
does it land them-ay, where? five, or
any one were to unfold on this subject only
our own experience and observation, not
little more than volume it would max e.
Families set by the ears-parents against
children, brothers against brothers, not to
mention brothers and sisters-in-law, who
seemed generally to assume with the legal
title the legal right to interminable squab-
bling. Friendships sundered, betrothals
broken, marriages annulled while in the
letter kept utterly, to be daily torment,
temptation and despair. Acquaintance
that would otherwise have maintained
safe and not unkindly Indifference forced
into absolute dislike-originating, how they
knew not, but there it is. Old companions
that would have borne each Others little
annoyance, and kept up an honest affection
until death, driven into coldDess more
hopeless still which no after growth will
ever have power to thaw. Truly, from
the smallest little Pedlington that carries
on year by year its bloodless wars, its
harmless scandals, its daily chronicles of
intermiuable nothings, to the great metro
politan world, fashionable, intellectual,
noble or royal the blight and curse Of civil
lied life is, gossip.

WHAT CANNOT SHE Doq

Philadelphia Call.
She can worry mans soul into madness and sin,
Then hustle him back to bliss
By simply tickling him under the chin
Or pouting her lips for a kiss.
She can reach conclusions in less than wink
And be straight in her premises, too,
Without ever stopping to reason or think
thing no male biped can do.
When six of them meet at an afternoon tea"
They can talk all together till night
And rattle on smoothly and always agree,
Where men would be aching to fight.
In his "neglige" he is a sweltering mess,
She cool, though tight laced as drum;
And she sticks forty pins in nice rows in her dress
While he's jabbing one in his thumb.
She can talk to a woman or girl she hates
Just as sweet as peaches and cream;
Where men would be pounding each others pates-
How they do 1t never could dream.
She can whisper a mo" which you likely deserve,
In q voice which means yes" if you choose,
And impart to a tone a parabalOid curve
That would give base -ballist the blues.
She can walk the floor however strange it may seem
And COO like pigeon or lark,
With squalling baby, and never once dream
ofthrottling the imp in the dark.
She can do more work in an hour or so
Than half the men in day;
And not make a quarter the fuss they do,
Nor have a quarter as much to say.
And while men are fighting with follies and slips,
When the passion of youth grows cold,
She can relish kiss from her husbands lips
When he's seventy-fve years otd.
She never combines" and she never 'strikes"
When she's got any purpose in view;
But goes straight ahead and does what she likes,
And-sometmes she does us too.

rolled away, and nothing was left to tell
of the awful cataclysm but the scene of
devastation left behind A mark on the
mountain side, far above the level of the
canyon, told its depth. Trees uprooted
and scattered marked its course. Immense
boulders, which had been carried far from
their original resting place and left in its
course, showed its power, while the desola
ton around me proved its destructiveness.
''As soon as l could safely decend from
my place of refuge | went into the canyon

him. The mules we had ridden had also
disappeared, and not vestige of our camp
