A QUESTION

The EUery EUening still con-
tends that it is the duty OF the
Prothonotary of this Court, in
as much as a Republican now &C.
cupies the position, to prepare
and keep up the induces OF his
Office. There is no question In
it's mind that it was not the duty
of his Democratic predecessors
to do SO. The reason for its lat
est outbreak lies in the order OF
the Court for the preparation OF
new induces to replace the ones
prepared many years ago and
now so worn out as to be useless.
We desire to ask EUery EUening
one question, and we hope that
we will be favored with a reply.
If for any reason, the files OF
Eveyy EUening should become SO
dilapidated as to.be useless, would
it expect its correspondents, who
are paid by the piece for their
work, to come into the office and
renew the files?
Such a case is analogous to the
one Of the Prothonotary. He is
an officer Of the Court, paid by
the piece for what he does, and
is expected, and does, keep his
work indexed properly according
to the system now legally in use
in this State. But under his Of
fetal care are certain records
made years ago, for the use OF
the Court and the public. By
reason of constant use by other
officers of the Court, the attor-
neys, these old records need re-
newing, and the Every Evening
is complaining because the officer
who must do the work expects to
be paid, not an outrageous price
as was formerly the practice, but
a price to be fixed by the Court
upon a sworn statement by the
officer doing the work and the
attorneys who examine and COM
pare the same of the actual time
and work spent thereon.

OUTCAsT AND INSANE

Vending their way to Farnhurst, poorly
clad and hungry, young man and
woman entered our town early Tuesday
morning. and after begging food from
some Of our sympathizing people,
proceeded to Lake street, where they sat
down on curb stone and ate what had
been given them. A busy housewives
attention was called to the deplorable
sight, and she insisted on the woman
taking a more comfortable seat, and as
she rose her pale face and weak form told
the sympathizing lady that she was I'M
we'll
Mr.. Joseph G. Parker was notified OF
the affair, and called at the house where
the couple had stopped, and in a ramb-
ling way the man told him of his many
reverses in life, and that his wife was
unwell and it was his intention to take
her to the Insane Asylum, at Farnhurst,
and being without funds it was neces-
sary for them to walk.
Mr.. Parker became interested in the
welfare of the woman, and after having
her examined by two Of our physicians,
had her admitted to Farnhurst. bnt
while he was engaged in getting permit,
the brute who claimed to be her husband
disappeared, and has not been heard of
since.
Further investigation on the part of
Mr.. Parker as to who the woman really
was, revealed the fact that her father is
an able farmer of Kent County, owning
his own farm, and the girl was at nne
time an inmate Of the Kent County Aims
house, where she had been placed i, her
father.
That the woman was insane there is
not the slightest doubt, and why she was
permitted to leave the Ainshouse of her
native county, with tile worthless tramp
who claimed 70 le her husband, We were
unable to learn, but the father Of this
unfortunate young girl should be suffic-
iently interested in her welfare as to
know of her whereabouts.

Gastric and Nervous vertigo.

The most common forms of vertigo
are the gastric and the nervous. Gas
trio vertigo is sometimes induced by IL
very slight disorder Of the stomach.
The patient may feel sudden swim
ming Mt the head; objects may seem to
revolvc; he totters and perhaps falls.
There may be nausea, faintness, head
ache, visual hallucinations and buzz
ing in the ears, but there is no deaf
ness nor any danger of a loss of CON
seriousness. Gastric vertigo is cured
by treatment directed to the cause.
Nervous vertigo may come from
nervous exhaustion resulting from va
rious causes-intellectual strain or an
immodcratc use of tobacco, alcohol or
tea. The symptoms are much the same
as in gastric vertigo. They are felt
strongly in an elevated postion--by
the preacher in the pulpit or the speak
or on the platform. AS in gastric YER
tigo, the treatment must be directed
to the cause. But patients need not
fear an attack of paralysis or of apo
pleNy.

the mate to use profane language or
