City Of Mexico, March q Great
alarm is felt among the people living in

fame, lava and ashes for two weeks.

Of populous agricultural country, and
at it's base are extensive coffee planta
& tons. It has been extinct for more than
q. century, and gave no indication Of be-
coming active until three weeks ago,
when slight shocks Of earthquake were
felt in that locality, followed by blast
Of sulphurous smoke from the volcano.
Inhabitants of the surrounding country
abandoned their homes and sought refuge
at a safe distance RI .s.
These earthquake shocks and the con-
dition of the crater were followed by one
of the most magnificent and awe-inspir-
ing explosions ever witnessed. It oc-

The, Boycott Rule.

Cleveland, March 27.--In an interview to-
day T. NJ. Arthur, chief Of the Broth erhood
Of Locomotive Engineers, denied that his
order was trying to conceal the existence Of
a rule by which a boycott could be ordered
on a certain line if necessary. He stated
the boycott rule was adopted shortly after
the Burlington \ Quincy strike. A number
Of companies combined against the en-
gineers and used their influence to aid the
RAILROAD In self-defense the engineers
adopted the boycott rule. He stated that
the companies in general knew of the rule.
and that in all cases Of trouble with any
railroad he had informed the officials that
such a rule was in existence. Two years
ago he went to Toledo to adjust some
trouble. on the same railroad that the,
brotherhood is fighting now. He Informed
Mr.. Ashley then Of the existence of the rule
and settlement by arbitration was agreed
upon. The differences were submitted to
arbitration, and the decision was in favor of
Granting the engineers more pay. Then the
railroad company refused to live up to its
agreement to abide by the arbitration de-
cision. Mr.. Arthur stated further that he
did not think the strike would spread and
was satisfied the engineers had nothing
whatever to do with the attempted wreck

How to Bathe.


A bath is cooling or stimulating ac-
cording to the friction applied. An au-
thority on this subject gives the follow
ing prescription for cool water: White
soap if the skin needs cleansing; mop
dry with sponge and then with a soft
towel. This sort of bath has whole
some effect on children, and is particular
ly good for young mothers and nurses
who need to economic their strength.
This bath taken with the friction of flesh
brushes and coarse towels is stimu-
lent and should be followed by rest or
some light nourishment to counteract
the exhaustive result.
There are 1000, 900 pores in the body
These windows of the respiratory sys-
TEN are wide open after stimulating
bath, and if it is convenient to go from
the bath to the bed the very best re-
suits will be obtained. A cat nap of five
or ten minutes will prevent an attack of
cold and give the body the sensation of
accumulated force. The sanitary value
OF the sponge bath can hardly be exag-
gerated. The vital statistics of the city
prove that clean people escape the 500
ills that Inconvenience the unwashed

WINCHESTER, VA, Nov. 80, 1876


Dear Sig.-Two political tidal waves
have swept over the Nation in success
i've years, one in one direction, the other
in the opposite direction. Despite them
both, the Prohibition / arty stands, as
it stood year after year, absolutely an
conquerabe, indestructable, indomita
BILE. The Peoples Party has felt the ter
rible strain. and the newspaper reports
from Kentucky, Colorado, Kansas and
Nebraska tell of crumblng forces. But
the Prohibition party stands, solid as
stone wall, strengthening its position,
advancing its lines, lengthening its col
ulnns and emerging from every encoun-
ter with renewed courage. II reforms
party is indeed the true party of reform.
No Third Party in the history of our
Nation has had the moral cohesive power
to endure through even two Presiden-
tial campaigns, without going on to
subsequent victory. The Prohibition
party has stood through six Presidential
campaigns, inspired not by the hope of
spoils or immediate power, but by devo-
ton to principle alone No other move
ment in history can show such devotion,
except the Anti-Slavery movement. De-
votion to principle triumphed then, as
it will triumph now. Third parties have
arisen time and again since the Prohi-
bition party was born; have gone for
ward with a rushs have captured States
here and there; have sung poeans of
coming triumph, aud even in the singing
have passed away. But the Prohibition
party has endured, and every Presiden~
tml campaign has seen its vote increased,
its organization strengthened, and it's
purpose undaunted. The elections of
this year repeat the same story of steady,
inviacible progress. There is no waver-
ing in the lines anywhere. In States
where it was an ''off year and the gem
eral total vote fell far below that of last
year, the Prohibition vote is undimn-
ished. In other States where the con-
test was especially fierce, drawing out
large general vote, as in Iowa, Virginia
and Massachusetts, the Prohibition vote
has s2lendidly increased. What's the
matter with the Prohibition Party +? It's
all right, and always right; and it is GA

A Thrifty Maiden.

An indulgent uncle promised his niece
wedding dress when she should uire
such an article. The happy time came
and he was as good as his word; he gave
her $3.50 with which to adorn herself.

with a friend who he'd some six months
previously herself become wife. IAN

travagance.n quoth the youthful ma
iron. Il wish had never thrown away

bride. 1T was, but it is white elephant
now. have never had chance to wear
it since. III sell it to you for third of
what it cost, veil, shoes and all. None
have ever seen daylight since my we'd
ding A long pause ensued. The
maiden was considering the offer. Pres
entity she said: ''I'll tell you what I'll
do, dear don't believe I'll buy we'd
ding dress at all I'll hire yours for the
occasion just as people hire their flowers
for the same ceremonies. How much
will you take for the use of it for dayY''
Ten dollars It's bargain. What a

well as if spent the whole $3.50 on a
Dress And this thrifty young damsei
became wife in an exquisite costume
which was glowiEgly described in the
fashion paper, and for the use of which
she paid only ten dollars. And already,
from this small beginning, there is
springing up an industry which consists
in the application of the hire SYSTEM
to wedding costumes. Soon, no doubt,
we shall see numerous advertisements
in this style: Young ladies about to
marry. Don't throw away your money
on useless wedding dresses, but call at

which you can hire for the day at most
