Story of Abolitionist Days

that | wouldn't have been reappointed
marshal by Buchanan n II hadn't been
for William a. Seward. That's funny.
isn't 1t? Seward. you know. was the
great leader Of. the anti-slavery party
in the north. and yet he told me to
say to President Buchanan that II my
name was sent to the senate for re-
appointment as United States mar
shall, he would rise In executive ses-
sion OF the senate and say that he
gave the nomination his cordial APP
proval because he thought Marshal
Rhynders was the best representa-
tive Of the Democratic party in New
York
"Or course. there was joke behind
that; Seward was very fond of Joking.
But the message that | carried from
him to Buchanan induced the latter
to send in my reappointment to tho
senate. and there, in executive ses-
sion, Seward did exactly what he
promised he would do, and because
he did that my appointment was con-
firmed
Now how could show my graft
tude towards an anti-slavery Repub-
lican? That was a question which
tried to answer for several weeks aft
er my reappointment was confirmed.
At last said to myself:
: Senator Seward is down on the
fugitive slave law He doesn't want
to see any fugitive slave arrested
win see tc It that there won't be any
arrested while ] am marshal. and
will do II In this way: II get a
warrant for the arrest OF fugitive
slave. viii cause that fact to be
widely circulated will let the fu-
gitive slaves friends have tip Then
they can get him out Of the way.
Il pledged myself to do this. and
did do It. And It is true. as you
have heard. that not one fugitive slave
was arrested In New York between
1857 and 1861. That was the way
paid Senator Seward for the kindness
he did me-"

LOGGING REVoLUTIoNIzED.

Because of ,ne total elimination oi fire risks. the ease of power trans mission and Ire saving of wood now used to fire steam boilers. many of the large logging camps on the Pacific slope are being electrified.

Rheumatism is a favorite name for rains that rack the back. the joints. the limbs. and almost any other part
 A good deal of the pain that is laiG to rheumatism is really due to kidney weakness, and an excess of uric acid in the blood. When the blood is over loaded with uric acid. it forms into crystals. which are deposited in the muscles. joints. along the walls of the arteries. and in the sheaths of nerves.
 The movement of a nerve or muscle that contains uric acid crystals causes sharp. intense. darting pains and in time starts inflamed swellings.
 Uric acid has great liking for the joints. and often combines with other chemicals into chalky or stony parti- cles. These deposits stiffen the joints. making them extremely painful, and in severe cases changing the bones.
 Rheumatic pain in the thigh is called sciatica; in the muscles of the back. lumbago; in the face. neuralgia: in various other locations. neuritis Associated diseases are gravel. gout.

TAHiTIAN DRESS.

Dr Julius D. Dreher. former pres
 ident of Roanoke College, writes from Port Antonio Jamaica, regarding the tyranny of fashion which women pei . nit. as follows:
 "I want to tell you that I have read in your weekly of the 2Sth ult.. with great satisfaction the editorial entitled, Let Women Command Their Freedom When l Tas in Tahiti could not help admiring the erect and graceful carriage of the native women in their loose flowing gowns, with never d corset and seldom any shoes. 1 entrusted this simplicit- . with the tight lacing. absurd dresses. Gnd high heeled shoes of American women. and often thought What fools these mortals be- I have never seen more graceful women than the Poly nesians of Tahita, and since my re siderce there l have realized as never h5 fore the absurdity of some civilized fashions. There ought to be an or Ganized campaign against these follies which are in some instances also crimes against nature"
 Our civilization is an obvious fail ure when women allow the creators o: fashions to make them neVer-end- ing and varying procession of absurd creations in dress and footwear that are primarily designed to fill the poe ketS of trades people. Men are like wise the prey of tailors and matters and what not. The dictators of fash ior, both feminine and masculine. de wise every year changes that must be paid for forthwith by those who aim to be in style" If by any chance becoming and healthful fashions are decreed, they are departed from with all speed, and folks accept the decree as akin to the ruling of Providence. thc exhibition of weakness is laugha- blc enough from any rational view point. but it is also evidence of d crude and thOughtless civilization.
