Mr.. MURPHY's peculiar and commen.

combined, not only to tolk Of reformation

thing for their temporal welfare. The
helpless inebriate is hereafter to be provis
ded with home where he can receive the
benefit Of nourshing food and rest while
engaged in his battle against the demon

charitable principles such as these there is
some hope for the accomplishing of good

Mr.. Morton's letter is thought to be a

The extreme democratic journals unite

likely TO have some rest from political ex-

Congress will not waste long session in
wrangling over the Southern question
but will have time to consider questions &,

bad thing?


The country begins to be aware that i,
has to deal with lot of politicians who
are utterly regardless Of its interests, and

These fellows would make Mexico of tn.
United States if they bad their way. Their
policy is rule or ruin, and they are now
abusing President Hayes because they sec
very plainly that he is not in symp.thy
with them. We trust he will 20 on IN his
chosen way without the least wavering.-
He need not be afraid of the Bourbops: he
need not conciliate them. He is sure Of ,
majority Of honest men in both house,
Wien Congress meets, and We trust he will
not suffer himself to be coerced or bullied
by anybody, but that he will go ahead anc

From the st. Louis Republican,


For several years Judge Bay, of this
city, has been a great sufferer from facial
neuralgia, and to avail himself of any
benefit that might possibly result from a
change of climate, spent most Of 1873 in
California, and the last part If 1874 in
Colorado without any material benefit ;
and on his return from Colorado DIR.
Hodgen cut out a little over one half
inch of the fifth facial nerve, and for sew
en- or eight months the Judge expert
enced entire relief from the disease, but
at the expiration OF that time it gradu-
ally returned upon him with increased
severity until life was almost unbearable.
DR.. Hodgen became satisfied that the
separate parts of the nerve had united,
and he determined to perform a second
operation; and on the 7th instant, at the
residence of Judge Bay, 3,220 Chestnut
stree3, and in the presence of several
medical gentlemen, cut out two inches
of the nerve, and removed several collat-
eral branches. The operation lasted fif-
teen minutes, was exceedingly painful,
and, though the Judge declined to take
chloroform or any opiate, he stood the
knife without flinching. This operation
has been very rarely performed in the
west, and from the proximity of the
nerve to the eye requires great care ano
much skill. The Judge has had no re-
turn of the neuralglc pa ms, and all the
indications are that the operation will
prove eminently successful,

HoiO She Bore Her TIs,umping- As Strong as


Iron and Wood C0utd Make Her."


As the steamer Massachusetts lies high
out of the water on the sectional docks
at the foot of Pike street, on East river,
there is fine opportunity for noting the
wonderful strength Of her construction,
which enabled her to stand that terrible
humping on the Long Island coast.
There are in her bottom but two holes
OF any conseguence-one on the port
tide just about midshlps, and a great
jagged rent well aft on the starboard
side. Through these one may look up
past the different layers OF timber and
get an idea of their thickness and great
strength. There is first skin OF six
inch oak plank, then solid mass of oak
timbers twenty inches thick, inside that
sheathing Of oak plank six inches IN
thickness and resting on these nine keel
SONS running the entire length OF The
ship, and built of two-fOot timbers. Out
side the twenty-inch timbers, and be-
tween them and the skin, is perfect
network of iron bands three-quarters OF
an inch thick extending from the guards
to the turn of the bllge.


In fact, as Mr.. Steers, her builder, says,
''she is as strong as iron and timber could
make her." She is built in precisely the
same way so far as strength goes, as the
Pacific mail steamships Alaska and Great
Republic.


When she was humping on the Long
Island rocks Captain Merritt frequently
declared that her hull must be made OF
iron to stand II.

''as 10 the causes which led to the reno
val of the Reform Club from No. 1920
Chestnut street. and 1t has been charged
that we wanted TO Introduce too strict
code of morals into social organization
of gentlemen. The facts are simply
these: The Reform Club was started by
a number of gentlemen who had a large
stake in the welfare Of the community
for the purpose of advocating municipal
reform. 1t grew rapidly in membership,
among which were a number Of young
gentlemen Of very social dispositions.
The sale OF liquors was permitted all
over the house and card playing was car
ried on to considerable extent. Now
you will understand that it would be
very unpleasant for some old and res
pected friend to come to me, or Mr.. Lea,
or Mr.. latham, or any one of the origl-
nators of the club and say, 81 consented
to my son joining your club because
your name gave me assurance of his safe
ty there; but he is going TO the bad-he
Is drinking to excess or gambling-per-
haps BOTH" Now it is probable that
this young man would drink or gamble
anyhow, but l don't intend that my
name shall sanction any such vices. The
club goes to a new location and 1t has
my best wishes for its prosperity. 1t will
probably gravitate into Democratic
club. 10 this have no objection; the
Democrats need club"


MIR. Lippincott said nothing about the
new Reform League; on the contrary, be
spoke OF suggestion that had been made
to turn the lower floor of the Florence
property into stores and reut The upper

Raun with his few men was unable to

upon them and the Indians passed a..

ders at Stevensville did sell to these
hostilcs ammunition till outside settlers
took the matter in hand and divcsted
them of all the ammunition and whisky

that class of traders. It seems that
want Of ammunition is the principal
embarrassment that the hostiles suffer,
and if they succeed in obtaining sup.
ply of that We may expect the Indians
will again make bold stand.

1t is said that Democratic House
Of Representatives will refuse an ap-
preparation for the army of the United
States If tie lawful Government of
South Carolina is maintained by mill
tary forces. The submission to such
coercion m,rks the degeneracy of the
political party Of people which indors-
es 1t. A Government worthy Of the
name, political party fit to WELD
power, never before blanched at such
a threat


But ths edict has gone forth. No
argument or considerations which your
friend. cjuld present have suficed to
avert the disaster. No effective
means OF resistance to the consumma-
ton of the wrong are left.


My strict legal rights are, of course,
wholly uneffected by the action of the
Preside,t. No court Of the State has
jurisdiction to pass upon the title to my
office. No lawful Legislature can be
convened, except upon my call. If
the use of these powers promised ul-
innate Success of our cause, [ should
not shrink from any sacrifices which

science, a man might we'll lay down

Republicans of South Carolina, to risk
all dangers and endure all hardships
until relief should come from the Gov
ernment of the United States; that
relief will never come [ cannot ask
you to follow me further. In my
judgment, [ can no longer serve you
by further resistance to the impending
calamity.


With gratitude to God for the
measure of endurance with which He
has hitherto inspired me; with graft
tude to you for your boundless conf
dencs in me; with profound admira-
ton Tor your matchless fidelity to the
cause in which we have struggled; I
now announce to you and the people of
the State that | shall no longer active
iy assert my right to the Office of Gov
ernor of South Carolina. The motives
and purposes of the President Of the
Unl.e States, in the policy which
sosspcis me to pursue my present
course, are unquestionably honorable
and patriotic. devoutly pray that
events may vindicate the wisdom of
his action, and that peace, justice,
freedom and prosperity may hereafter be
the portion of every citizen Of South
Carolina.

CHEMICAL analysis discoses the fact
that among the many articles used for
food there are only two, wheat and
milk, which contain all the elements
of the human body, and in the proper
proportion. Other articles, such as
butter, sugar, syrup and fat of all
kinds, are wholly carbonaceous, or
heat producing, so that if a human
being were to attempt to live on these
articles alone his brain aud muscles
would starve. By actual experiment,

He who champions the cause of the workingman falls far short of his duty if he fails to warn him against one common enemy, the saloon. If you are not temperance man, there IS all the more req son why you should look this subject fairly in the face. The saloon is not an industrial concern. It neither feeds nor clothes you. It adds nci- thcr to your comforts nor enjoyments. It is a trap placed upon nearly every corner, to catch your money without giving q profitable return. It ab- sorbs portion of your earnings, and leaves you none the better for it, but very likely much the worse in nor als, health, pocket and self respect. You know that this is so, if you stop to think. The seeds of nun berless evils and none whateyero of good to mankind grow in these hot beds of corruption. We beg our friends, the workingmen, to avoid liquor saloons. If you can find no other society nor place of resort, you are indeed unfortunate; but better none than such as thus lower your manhood and your purse.-Califor- ma Agriculturist and Artisan.
