The slurs cast on Taney county by
some Of the papers of the surround
ing towns is becoming disgustingIy
nauceous. The filings lately made by
the papers OF both Springfield and
Aurora is fully appreciated by the
people of the grand old kingdom of
Taney. We arc glad that all the
fools Of Taney are outing Us
and geing to those two places where
they find cafe aud sure asylum, prov
ing the old law of nature that "like
begets like, and that "birds of q
feather flock together" We wish to
further say to the denizens of those
two villages OH the contines of civil
lzation that Taney county according
to number, has more wealth, per cap
ita, fewer beggars, more good hard
horse sense to the man. more honor
to the citizen, fewer liars and better
people in general, than are to be
found in Green and Lawrence coun-
ties. and that when she finds nat
ural born fool among her people she
at once sends them to either to AurG-
ra or Springfield where pole wood
and natural gas are the only circu-
lating mediums and where all
fools find only those of their
kind.

Communication.
The ltepublicn,

Mr.. Editor: TIE Temperance
movemen in Taney County ought to
be encouraged by every good citizen,
and every official of the county, III
order to put down intemperance, and
drunkenness. 1 am aware of the fact
wbiskey has got deep hold on the
country, for Its profits and public
revenue, but be this as it may, the
evil, aud the wrong perpetrated on
society is more fatal for good than
the few paltrv dollars that goes into
the pockets of the few who are max
ing the profits out Of it. Whiskey
can never have Intended by nature
tor food by men. 1t is certain it
never produced of itself in nature.
The whole vegetable system yields
in great abundance tho principles
which form the flesh, aud which
keep up the heat of the body, but the
healthy plant at no time produces
intoxicants. Food in the body TOO,
in health is never known to be con-
verted into alcohol, wine, or ale. The
body when in a healthy state treats all
spirits as foreign. The use Of strong
drink produces more idle
ness, crime, want aud misery, than all
other causes put together.
. The contest is now between NOR
allity and the saloon power. 1t is
either whlskey, drunkenness, or NOR
atty, christianity aud good order in
in society. Lawlessness reigns
where the saloon has the majority.
The laws of the land cannot be en-.
forced where wbiskey and its use is
predominant. would ask you q
question reader, aud you be honest
in answering it. Is whiskey in its
ordinary use any real benefit to you
and your child, or your husband
ncighbor and society at large? You
doubtless say no, but then you say il
is none of your business about what
your sou, or husband, or neighbors
do as you neve use intOxicants your

take their wicked course as they
please. And at tho same time yot

One OF Two WAYS.

The bladder was careated Tor one
purpose; namely, a receptacle tor the
urine, and as much it is not liable to
to any form Of disease except by one
of two ways. The first way is from
imperfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local
treatment of other diseases.
CHEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb. like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose,
and If not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except
in rare cases. 1t is situated back and
very close to the bladder, therefore
any pain, disease or Inconvenience
manifested in the kidneys, back, blad-
der or urinary passage is often, by
mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily: made and may be
as easily avoided. To find out cor
rectly, set your urine aside for twcn-
ty four hours; q sediment or settling
indicates kidney or bladder trouble.
The mild aud the extraordinary effect
of DR.. Kilmer's Swalnp-Root the
great kidney, aud bladder remedy is
soon realized. If you need medic

BILL NYE,s HIT.
The Appearance He Presented After Using
Cosmetic.

The Appearance He Presented After Using
a Cosmetic.
James Whitcomb Riley tells quaint
story of his former lecturing partner,
Bill Nye:
1t was the opening OF their joint sea-
son; they had been rusticating during
the vacation and were both brown as
berries. Nye looked much like an
Othello In his sunburned makeup, and
Riley suggested to him the application
of some liquid white" cosmetic
much affected by the gentler sex Of the
profession.
Nye sent for the preparation. and
never having used anything Of the kind
before, he filled the palm Of his hand
with 1t and carelessly smeared it over
his countenance. There was no mirror
in his very primitive dressing-room,
and Riley was identifying himself on
the other side OF the stage.
The liquid white" dried out some
what like white-wash, and when Nye
appeared before the audience he was
sight to behold His head looked like
a frosted top-piece on wedding cake;
his face, white as the driven snow,
was expressionless and blank. The
audience shrieked, and when he came
off from his first selection they de-
manded his temperance. He Obliged
them to howls Of laughter; again he
made his exit, and again was rede-
manded by the uproarious audience.
Believing he had made hit, he was
about returning to the stage, when he
was caught by the arm by Mrs. Nye.
who cried: William Edgar Nye, what
have you got on your face?"
Nothing but its usual expression,
my dear"
Expression = f1ddlesticks! You're
a fright" cried his wife, and leading
him to where there was piece OF
broken looking-gRss, showed him how
he looked.
Nye was mortified. and, catching
sight of Riley just about going on The
stage, he would have undoubtedly fol-
lowed him on and been revenged but
for the intervention of Mrs. Nye.
His head was scraped. combed. and
washed. and his next selection was
read without "a hand from the au-
dience. Moreover, the story is a fact
and not press agents copcoction.

An Historic Carriage.

An historic carriage owned by the
late Dr. Evans has been offered for
sale at the Paris Tattersall establish
ment, but it was decided at the last
moment to retain the vehicle as an
item of the estate. In it the doctor left
Paris with the Empress Eugene on
Sept. 4, 1870, when he was assisting
her to reach England. 1t is intended
by the heirs of the noted dentist to
transfer the carriage to the Evans Mu-
scum, which is to be founded in Ameri-
ca under the clauses of the doctors
will.
The vehicle will be temporarily
handed over to the care of the old
coachman who drove the Empress, her
attendants and the doctor to the coast
in 1870, when she was about to en-
bark for England in Sir John Bur-
goynee's yacht. The vehicle Is Ian
dau with accommodations for four
persons, and was built in 1867 for the
Exhibition About ten years since DR..
Evans had it recleaned and reembel-
lished, in order to make a journey to
Granville over the same ground as that
traversed by him with the Empress in
1870. During that long drive he STOP
ped at the same places en- route as

descends as far as the knees, being slit
up at the sides to allow for the needful
freedom in walking. The shoulder seam
is very long, reaching we'll down the
arm, thus forming part Of the sleeve,
which is wide and reaches the wrist
The trousers are ample and straight,
almost covering the feet, the needful
fulness being confined by wide
shaped band, which is concealed by the
coat On state occasions a very gor-
geous coat is donned. 1t Is one mass of
embroidery; and with this especial gar
ment an extraordinary sort Of petit
coat, resembling kilt, is worn. This
consists of two fat aprons of embroid-
cry joined together with plated silk.
The embroidered apron is fat in front
and behind, and the silk Is full at the
sides to allow for motion. These are
the embroideries which, when discard
ed, are eagerly sought for as curiosities
by foreigners.
So much for gala costumes in China.
For everyday wear the coat and
trousers prevail. Rich women embroid-
er their silk, satin or crepe coats very
deliberately round the neck and sleeves;
and sometimes the trousers are like
wise adorned. The coats are all cut in
the one pattern, and only differ in color
and material. The top coat is general
ly of dark color-blue or purple;
while the undergarments are of the
same shape, and are made of pretty
bright-colored silk. The poorer women
wear exactly the same shaped gar
ments; but these are invariably made
of linen-in summer, white; and at
other seasons, dark blue prevails. In
cold weather the Chinese woman SIM
ply adds coat after coat to her costume
until, at last, she dons one which is
about an inch thick with padding,
which makes her look ridiculously
"puffed out"
