Whether the leaders and apostles Of the
New Departure third party have accepted
him simply on profession of faith, or IN
tend to await some further proofs OF bis
devotion to their cause has not been pub
licly proclaimed, but Of Buffers intention
in the premises there is nothing to doubt.
Butler means to be governor OF Massachu-
serts if il lies within the possible compass
Of his power TO reach it. He has placed
himself at the head Of the Nationals" of
New England. and particularly Of Massa-
chusetts, and whether the party elsewhere
like him and his afiliation, or not, he evil
deutIy intends to lead that party in his
own state. and designs to gather up fol-
lowing which will, enable him to control
their votes entirely in the interest of him
self.


The republicans affect TO believe that
Buffers new move will not amount to
much, but the nature of bis services in be-
half of the republican party in times past
ought 20 be sufficient to convince them
that he is too astute and experienced a
politician to take such step without haV-
ing carefully considered what he supposes
will be the outcome.


1t would not disturb the faith of the peo
pie 10 other sections Of the Union in the
eternal fitness of things, or 10 the inscrut-
able wisdom of Divine Providence, if, in
the order Of human events, Ben Butler
should become governor over the broad
cloth, fine linnen. polished dignity, and
great learning of the Modern Athens and

THE development of sentiment
In the diiettanti and anti.corrup-
tIon leaders OF the Republican
party is quite interesting, Of late.
Take the attitude of George Will
liam Curtis, the editor of Harpers'


Weekly, for instance. Four weeks
ago this elegant exponent Of super
fine Republican sentiment thought
that If Grant were nominated by
the Republican party the disinte-
grafton of that organization was
Inevitable. Presto! change! The
last number of Hdrpers' Weekly
which arrived in Los Angeles still
thinks that Grant would be q bad
candidate, hut that Grant, as q
practical dictator, is preferable to
the ascendancy of the communistic
element in the United States. The
elegant Curtis puts the proposition
thus: "If, indeed, we have come
ito the end of the government and
"the death struggle of society, let
"us all unite and secure the order
"that reigned in Warsaw and de-
"mand a military dictatorship as
"better than anarchy" This is q
humiliating confession from one Of
the organs Of the once powerful
Republican party!

SMALL FEEr.-For the sake of having
small feet, many an otherwise sensible woman
will martyrize herself by pinching those un.
lucky members of the body into boots size
too small. As natural and necessary result
of such pinching confinement, the foot be-
comes deformed, and larger than it would nat
urally grow, with enlarged joints, and toes
turned from line parallel with the foot to
say nothing of the troublesome corns, so an
noying and crippling to large class of young
women. The worst results Of this crippling
custom of wearing small and narrow boots is
felt by children, when allowed to outgrow
their boots. 1t is poor economy to allow the
young to wear boots when the feet have be.
come too large for them, since deformity Of
the feet is easily produced at this time. When
the boot is too short and the heel too high,
the ingrowing Of the nails is perfectly natu-
raj result. Children will have sufficient ills
to contend with without this crippling from
deformed feet, the most prominent cause Of
which is small and badly. fitting boots and

free use of lemon juice and sugar will always
relieve cough. Most people feel poorly in
the spring, and take medicine for relief; but
if they would eat a lemon before breakfast
every day for week-with or without sugar
as they like, they would find it better than
medicine. Lemon juice, used according to
this receipt, will cure consumption, even after

Every intelligent person should know
how to ascertain the state OF the pulse in
health then by comparing it with what
it is when he is ailing, he may have some
idea of the urgency OF his case. Parents
should know the healthy pulse OF each
child-as now and then a person is born
with peculiarly slow or fast pulse, and
the very case in hand may be of that pc
culiarity. An infants pulse is one hun
dred and forty; a child of seven, about
eighty; and from twenty to sixty years it
is seventy beats minute, declining to
sixty at fourscore. A healthful grown
persons pulse beats seventy times in s-
minute; there may be good health at
sixty; but if the pulse always exceeds
seventy there is disease; the machine
is working itself out, there is fever or
Inflammation somewhere, and the body
is feeding on itself; as in consumption,
when the pulse is quick, that is, over sew
enty. gradually increasing with decreased
chances of cure until it reaches one hun
dred and ten or one hundred and twenty,
when death comes before many days.
When the pulse is over seventy for
months, and there is slight cough, the
lungs are affected.
