THE EASTHArI CASE.

AS matter Of fact this case was
tried and a verdict rendered at Par
sons, OF involuntary manslaughter
and sentence Of two years impris-
onment, for killing Thompson. Pow
eriul advocates, skilled attorneys
were on each side. The Court Of
Appeals, witnesses and all tangible
and sometimes suspected intangible
circumstances were scrutinized and
subjected to the most minute, men,
tai, nicroscopical Investigation and
comment. But the case is not end
ed, Tor il has furnished cGsats bella
for the Ad0ocate and Herald The
la ter is trying the jury for willful
erroneous verdict, and the former, is

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water
glass with urine and let it stand
twenty-four hours q sediment or
settling indicates diseased condition
of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence Of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to
urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.

SENATOR HANNA.

This gentleman will resume his
seat in the U. S. Senate, as Senator
from Ohio, for the short and long
term. Whatever, may have been the
cause, in the face Of the fullest en-
dorsement by the people in conven-
tion and at the polls, he was nearly
slaughtered and thrown overheard
by his former political friends and
allies. That the contest has been
both doubtful aud severe, cannot be
questioned. Every medium of skill
diplomacy, intrigue, alleged bribery,
and the influence of wives with their
delegate husbands, are charged pro
and con, either side. He obtained,
finally, just about enough to succeed
and that, over the Governor, an ex
Republican chairman of the State
Committee, cotelie Of Republican
members, the hidden hands of their
associates, and the force OF Demo
cratic combine. Rank envy, or base
ingratitude may have caused the bat
tie, and if so, Mr.. Hanna may seek
consolation from Shakespeare, wheh
he wrote:
"Blow, blow, thou winter Windl
Thou art not SO unkind
AS mans ingratitude.
Thy tooth is not so keen
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
"Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky
That dost not bite so high
AS benefits forgot.
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friends remembered not.''
