MARIETTA DAILY LEADER
THURSDAY. DEG. o. 1857
nonts Cor presden and cosllocton.


An effort will be made during this
session of Congress by those in charge
of the Muskingum river Improvement,
to have the war department ask of
congress an appropriation sufficient to
complete the work of the upper Mus
kingum river improvement by the
erection of lock and dam at Jackson's
Island, eight miles above, the city.
Should this improvement be made, and
no doubt it will be completed during
the year 1893, it is likely that, other
locks and dams will be built SO as to
admit of steamboats, and other craft
navigating the Muskingum from its
mouth at Marietta to that of its cou-
fluence " ith the Tnscarawas and Wal
honding rivers, making free and I'M

WOULD NOT ADMINISTER ALCOHOL.

An eminent German physician, DR.. Hirsch-

OF alcohol, was charged at Magdeburg Grim
inal Court in May last with having caused,
or at least fastened, the death of man who
had been-for thirty-six hours under his care.
and whom he had then sent to an hospital,
where, after eight days treatment with large
doses of alcohol and quinine, the patient
died. The disease was, according to the
united judgment Of oil the doctors, serious

Pharmacology at Bonn, who says: "Alcohol
is one OF those exciting agents which always
occasion corresponding swing of the pen
dulum to the opposite side. The stimulat-
ing effect is always speedily followed by an
equally marked diminution of energy in the
brain and spinal marrow" The case was
decided in DIR. Hirschfeld's favor, with costs

Homeward Ho!

No blade nor flower nor leaf
You carry or remember;
The apple, nut, and..sheaf
Are all your sign, November;
And homeward no! where autumns 20
Your barns and bins will sing
From HaiIowmas till spring
Oh homeward. homeward no!
Where fires of welcome burn,
Where Joy is feast and love is priest.
God speed the glad return!
Tho frost-foot on the lea
Has stalled the stubble blowing;
The wind has chased the bee
From off the clover rowen;
Aud Nature, queen that ruled the green,
Will house herself and spin,
And call her children in.
Sing homeward, homeward hol
Armed winter, with his chills,
Encamped since April morning, =
Lies snoring in the hills
Till the next moontide's warning;
Well heed not yet his windy threat
While seven sunshine5 stay
To laugh his fakes away.
So homeward, homeward hot
For hut with tliatch Of grass
And hall with roof of cedar
Hold high Thanksgiving mass
And praise the Heavenly Feeder,
Where kindred binds at household shrines
And the last days Of fall
Sum up the Joy OF all.
Then homeward, homeward hol
Where fires of welcome burn,
Where joy is feast and ioye Is priest,
God speed the glad return!

EARRINGS IN FAVOR AGAIN.

The statement that earrings are again
coming into fashion has brought the
subject Of piercing the ears to the at
tention Of physicians. Earrings are
positively unbecoming to the majority
Of women. Besides, the ears get drawn
out of shape and their symmetry is
entirely destroyed. This, however,
counts for nothing. and It is too much
to expect that any impression viii be
made on the rank and file Of women by
the statement that they may lose their
lives from blood poisoning If they set
out to follow this revived fad.

There Arc Others.

II you ever make little joke that's really
something worth,
So that people when they hear it will ex-
plode in helpless mirth,
Don't You think that you're the only wit
that ever walked the earth.
There are others!
II you ever make fearful break that COW
ers you with shame.
You really need not mind 1t, though your
cheeks begin to flame,
You're not the only idiot that ever did the
same.
There are others!
If she says she'll be sister. but she cannot
further go.
Don't get so melancholy, with your spirits
She's not the only female in this weary
world of woe.
There are others!
Are you cen compelled to listen to singer
who will roar
A song OF moldy ehestnuts and old Jokes oft
heard before,
Till you hope each verse will be the last, and
fondly eye the door?
But there are others!
A youth with parted locks and a lofty collar
you will find,
With coat that's tightly buttoned and a
very vacant mind,
Alas! he's not the only silly creature OF the
kind.
There are othersl
Now, II you do not like this song, and say
it falls quite fat,
And the moonstruck man who wrote It was
maniac and all that,
Why, you're not compelled to sing 1t, though
you're talking through your hat,
There are others!

'Glddness Comes

With o better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to q constipated condi-
ton Of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and =
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slSillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informedev everywhere, Syrupof
Figs stands highest anu is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

The Young and the Old.

The young year wove her crocus silk
And trimmed her daisy frills,
And fashioned with fairy hand
The cups of her daffodils;
She curtained chambers for the birds,
And sang "a young Things may
Youth and gladness rule the world
And summer will last Away.
The old year sits in the whispering wood
And dyes her faded gown,
And dreams of days in the fragrant fields
When she wove loves red-rose crown;
The asters shake in her chilly breath
As she croons an old-foIks rhyme
Since summer is DER we must make the best
OF the snow-cold winter time.

Pyramid of CiIeops.

The great Pyramid of Cheops is the
largest structure ever erected by the
hand of man. Its original dimensions
at the base were 764 feet square, and
its perpendicular height at the highest
point, 44S feet. 1t covers four acres
one rood, and twenty-five rods of
ground. and has been estimated by an
eminent English architect to have cost
not less than $165. 900. 900.
