Judge Silent has not been away. Judge Porter is here, though he might as well be absent, as there has been, and is, no business for him to attend to. The report that he had gone to Nebraska was as truthful as the other re- form yarns about him; he was gone to Los Angeles for few days to see his wife whose life has been in a critical condition for some weeks, and who is in that city for medical treatment. But such trifies as truth must not stand in the way of ''reform;' not till after election, anyway Yuma Sentinel.

YOU see it YOU wonder il those snowy

gain her love your two thousand are
millions. She'll not ask you for q
carriage or a first class house. She'll
wear simple dresses, and turn them
when necessary, with no vulgar mag
nificat to frown uPol her economy.
She'll keep everything neat and nice
in your sky pallor, and give you such
a welcome when you come home that
you'll think your parlOr higher than
ever. She'll entertain true friends on
a dollar, and astonish you with the
new thought how little happiness de-
pends on money. She'll make you
love home (if you're brute), and teach
YOU how to pity, while you scorn a

The following story is told to show
the rigid honesty of President Lincoln
in early life: When he was postmaster
in small Illinois village word came
that the postoffice agent would be
along in day or two to collect the
money due the Government. 1t was
about S75, and one of LincOln's friends,
alarmed lest the young postmaster
should be embarrassed by the sudden
demand for so nu h money, offered to
lend him the SUM. Mr.. Lincoln de-
clined with thanks the proffered kind
ness, and, going to the upper shelf OF a
closet, brought down bag containing
the amount in the very coins which
bad come into his hands. He said he
never allow ed himself to use, even for
day, money which was in mis- posses
sion belonging to other people.

BY carefully compiled statistics of more
than twenty trades the New York Bulletin
shows that at least seventeen and a half per
1873, and that while the average decrease of
wages is about thirty-one per cent, the pur-
chasing power of money has increased so as to
cancel part of this loss of wages. As the
Bulletin says, ''the gratifying fact remains
that the mechanic and artisan, as well as the
merchant and otter classes, are on their
way to prosperity, and with every indication
that the hard times will soon be among TIE

DAIN in the right side, under the
L edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done


A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains OF
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

ALBANY, n. Y, March pa delegation
from the hatters of Brooklyn appeared be-
of the Senate and Assembly yesterday after
noon in favor of the bill to prohibit the
manufacture of hats i'll the prisons. Their
arguments were as follows: First, that the
number of hatters in the State was so small,
being only about seven hundred that their
business would be entirely ruined by the
employment of convict labor in the manu-.
facture of hats Second, that if the con,
victs were turned out into the State aftel
learning the trade there would be about
twice as many hatters in the State as could
find employment and the remainder would
be reduced to pauperism.


Third, that if the State is to choose be-
tween the convict and the honest poor man
the convict should be the one to suffer
The delegation were asked what they would
propose to remedy the evil and still keer
the prison self-supporting? They said If {
large number of different trades were taught
in the prisons no one trade would be made
to suffer so much. They said it would be
better for them to support the prisons by {
tax than to lose all they had and be reduced
to paupcrism. They could afford to pay 5;
a piece per week to support the prisoners i
they could make $40 per week at theil
work, for then they would have 81 per weel
left to live on while if the convicts did The
work they could not get anything. Th'
committee seemed very favorably impressed
with Che arguments and will probably re
port in favor OF the BILL or a general bill
prohibiting all work in the prisons which

We deem il unfortunate that there

A few Democrats, while loudly as

too partzan in the matter, urge that
in view of their convictions that the
next Congress and Senate will be
Democratic, we MUST, in order to be
admitted into the Union, present
ourselves with a Democratic com

are more than favorable for he
