MARK THIs.-In any field of con-
flict, the point of attack necessarily
becomes the place for the best and
strongest efforts of defence. Believing
all else lost so far as they are con-
cerned, the Democrats of Cedar county
have made every preparation to get in
their work for Murphy. Every argu-
ment, every artifice, every influence
will be employed to make votes for
Murphy. Every doubtful or careless
voter will be watched, and no applica-
tion-from wholesale lying up, OF
down-will be neglected to gain his
vote for Murphy. knowledge of these
facts will make the special duty OF
Republicans plain. They, too, must
be alert, earnest and active. Nothing
else will do. One vote may tell tho
story; at all events every Republican
vote in this county is wanted for Mr.


Price, and every Republican is wantet
to make an effort to secure them t,
him.

Now and then a republican in town
gets excited and offers to bet Il five that
Price will have 500 majority in this

take it. IF nc is sandy the five goes

hard for more. 1t would be poor pick

The Conservative people Of the Coun-
try had hoped that Radicalism had run
its course and was dead, but the lecture
Ct Wendell Phillips, in Philadelphia on
Thursday night, shows that it still has an
existence, and is still to be dreaded. That
such horrid sentiments as this man ut
tered should be applauded by a Philadel.
phia audience is astounding. Yet thii
was the case. Such men as Phillips
ought TO be terror to any civilized
community. While we are ready TO ad
nit that the position he took before his
audience on this occasion is not more
Radical, considering the times, than were
the sentiments which he and his Radi
cal colaborers advanced before the wal
of the rebellion we are nevertheless as
tonlshed at their utterance.


While such men as Phillips are per
mitted to have influence and credit il
the Union there is little hope for genera
peace and harmony in the country.

COLE YS. BEAN AND BEAN.-SOme of Coles friends have misconstrued couple of squibs in last weeks MINER into an attempt on our part to prejudice this ease in favor of Bean, whereas nothing was further from our intention. In fact, we purpOscly refrain ed from saying word about it until after the suit was tried and decided, and then, in reviewing it for the benefit of our readers, were careful to state the exact condition of the case as far as space would allow, with out prejudice either way. As to the matter complained of, it was entirely outside of the case, but appeared to us too ludicrous to let pass. We sat i'll Court and heard the plain tiff7s own attorneys traducing him in the vilcst manner, while the opposing counsel were straining every nerve to make him out gentleman. The case seemed quite anomi- lous, and as we kept far inside of the real facts as they transpired in our hearing in Court, we concluded we had right to make a joke of it. and did so. If Bean perjured himself, as is claimed by the friends of Cole, the Judge, who heard all the testimony, ought to know it, and it was his duty to call a Grand Jury and present the matter for in- dictment and trial. No guilty man ought to escape on account of his position or previous reputation, and we shall always be found upholding the majesty of the law, let it's just penalties fall upon whom they may. If the plaintiff, defendants, or any of their witness es perjured themselves they oughtto be pun ished, but it is not onr province to accuse them of if.

OUT OF FLoUR.-Many of our people, who appear to have been born with silver spoons in their mouths, regard the absence of flour in. the market as quite calamity, notwith- standing there is plenty of corn and tryoies, besides new potatoes have begun to come in from the ranches. Within our own rccol- lection, the family that had wheat bread more than once week was looked upon with suspicion, as people puffed up with pride, much as ''shoddics'' are regarded now, and yet people did more labor than We have even been willing to do since. Jake IIinkle informs us that some of the miners of LynX Creek have actually knocked of work for want of flour, not beingab to sub- sist upon anything so coarse as corn i'll the shape of bread, though they can worry down a little of the juice. Personally, were 1t not for our suffering neighbors, we should be glad there is no flour to be had, as now We have corn-bread at least twice a day, where as we had to beg for it before. Now, if the onion crop would fail we should be perfectly happy. Think of it: Corn bread with ''cracklins' and ''punkin' in il, in their sea- son, plenty of "sop" and no onions to stink up the sausage and hash. Under such a condition of affairs we should soon out weigh Donigan.

The Philadelphia Ledger says The
mother that rocks and sings her child to
sleep is unconsciously illustrating scien-
tific principle. The heart and the circula-
ton are popularly thought never to rest.


But science shows that under usual and
fair conditions their rest is perpetual. In
other words, by their rythmic or measured
motion in health, the organs of circulation
rest between each pulse-that is to say
eight hours out of the twenty-four as has
been calculated by computing the pauses
between the beats of the pulse. The mon
otonous rhythm of simple cradle song,
and the gentle motion Of the rocking chair
or cradle, are in harmony with the
rhythm of the heart, and, the brain be


ing disengaged, sleep follows. The brain
may be said to be the part Of the animal
economy which sleeps entirely. During
healthy sleep the brain is to great degree
bloodless, and this is shown indirectly by
the greater circulation of the blood in the
skin and extremities during sleep. Healthy
digestion, after a fairly full but not exces-
sive meal, promotes sleep, by the calling
off of the blood from the brain to the stom-
ach, A curious but familiar illustration of
the accord between the heart movements
and external measure sounds or motions, is
shown when the nurse stops 'humming' and
the troublesome baby wakes up and provok-
ingly opens it's staring eyes. The concert
is interrupted and the sleepy accord of the
heart with the successive cadences of the
lullaby is broken. This is why the cessation
of usual sounds will wake an adult sleeper

And love shall live again,
With kisses and with laughter,

But through the strife and sorrow
Be true, be brave always,
And bright will be the morrow,
Though desOlate the day.
For joy shall come hereafter,


And love shall live again,
