al chance of cure. When man clear

and life ends.


The only hope of curing consump-

hand, so as TO get the lungs clear of
the matter in them aud prevent the
formation of more. But the popular
sentiment is, that in proportion as
there is less cough, the chances of life
are increasing, and willingly aud
hopefully the patient takes what
"cnres his cough" and is thus led a
willing victim to the grave of his own
digging. So much are men, with all

Once upon q time q local editor
dreamed that he was dead, and IN an
other world, He approached the gate
of the city before him, and Knocked
for admittanee, but no one answered
his summons. The gate remained
closed against him. Then he cried
aloud for an entrance. but the only
responses were 3 scores of headssap-
pearing above the wall on each side
of the gate. At sight OF him the
owners OF the heads set up a dismal
howl, and one of them cried; Why
didn't yop notice the big egg I gave
you z" At this horrid and most un-
expected interrogation the poor local
turned in the direction Of the voice to
learn les owner, when another one
shrieked, where's that piece you
were going to write about my soda
fonntaini'' And close upon that was
the awful demand: "Why did you
write piece about old Peddle's fence
aud never say q word about my new
gate ?" Whatever answer he was
going to frame to his appeal was cut
abruptly of by the astonishing query:
w hat did yen spell my name wrong
In the programme for ~ The miser-
able man turned to~fee, when he was
rooted to the spot by this terrible de-
mand Why did You putIny mal.ri-
age among the deaths 2" He was en-
tho point of saying the foreman did il,
when shrill voice madly cried !:
what made you put in my runaway
and spoil the sale of my horse2" And
this was followed by the voice of a
female hyslerleally proclaiming -
"This is the brute that botched my
poetry, and made me ridiculous !"
Whereupon hundreds of voices
screamed Where's my article ?"
ssGive me back my article" And in
the midst of the horrid din the poor
wretch awoke, perspiring at every
pore, and screaming for help. The
next day he resigned, and we had to
hunt up another local editor.-DGG-

1t is strange, more than passing strange,
that the American people, and its govern
mcnt do not take heed to the past and gov
ern themselves accordingly Much of
trouble, danger and difficulty might be
avoided thereby Vast expenditures of
treasure might be saved and many valuable
lives preserved by such a course Human
life is valuable, without regard TO the
character of the man. Under certain cir
cumstances, it is true, it is right, proper
and lawful for the government to destroy
human life, as Tor example in case of war,
the suppression of rebellion or riot, or
for high crimes, which the law pronounces
punishable with death. In our rebellion,
for instance, every person voluntarily en-
gaging therein was punishable with death.
SO person convicted of wllful and
premeditated murder is liable to the same
penalty. Our government, in the exercise
of charitable discretion and with an al
most unheard of clemency, decided TO re
lease all participants in the rebellion from
the penalty of their crime, just as an ex
ecutive, oftentimes, commutes the sentence
of death passed upon a condemned mur
derer. The lives of the individuals sac
rificed, recently, in Cuba might have beel
saved il they had regarded the experience

The property long known in the city of

there is a fair prospect that measures will
be early inaugurated for the erection of a

accommodations to the local masonic bodies

A FOREIGN MINISTER'S TROUBLE.
On the first of January last
foreign Minister in this city, who
has an American wife, and who
represents one of the "effete mon-
arches" of Southern Europe, rented
handsome residence on II street
for year, agreeing to pay therefor
the sum of $4,000. Adjoining the
house rented is vacant lot, owned
by Philadelphia, who recently
concluded to build, and with that
view engaged a number of work
men to excavate for the foundation,
In doing so it was necessary to run
a fence between the Minister'S resi-
dence and the vacant lot, and this
seems to have so annoyed the Min
lister that he notified the agent from
whom he had rented the property
that he considered the contract vio-
lated, and should vacatc the premi-
ses on the lst proximo, when he
would pay four months rent, first
deductlng bill for damages which
he proposes to make out on account
Of the injuries he has sustained from
the building, operations adjoining
his residence. The upshot of the
matter is that the agent from whom
the Minister rented property will be
forced to allow the latter to act as
as Judge and jury in the matter and
accept whatever he is offered ir the
way of rental, as no civil process
can issue against representative
of q foreign government Wash

TIE Republican party can afford
to rcpudiate its dishonest followers.
The official that wears its garments
must toe the mark of honesty or
take back seat. The great body
of the American people were nevor
more in earnest than they are now
The grade of statesmen that come
into power hereafter will be trifle
higher than in the past. The Forty
Second Congress has had its full
share of honest and noble men; but
it also has a class that have failed
to live up to the true standard of
Republican morality. The people
weighed these men, found them
wanting, and have sent better ones
to fill their places. The lessons that
have lately been taught by the press
Of the country will not be lost on the
men who come up fresh from the
people. Recent Investigations have
done good in more ways than one.
They have brought our true men to
the surface, and opened the eyes of
the people to the necessity of send
ing as their representatives the
very best men that can be produced.


The Republican party is not i'm
maculate. 1t has in its ranks men
who disgrace their manhood by acts
that no Republican can justify. But
we have enough sterling honesty
left to fill all the Offices in the land,
and to keep them filled for some

Poor Bob White" has bad hard time

have seen as many partridges and pheasants
brought into our market in one season. The
very severe weather that has characterized
this winter has been fatal to the partridge, as
the deep SHOWS have hidden from him the
means of subsistence. No one who has ever
lived on farm and witnessed the gentle beg
aing of bob white and bob-o-link " around
tho barn and house-yard, at times, when the
snow prevented them from maintaining life in
the fields. could have failed to have felt kindly
and compassionately for them this winter
There has BEEN an awful carnage among them,
however, and we hope that our sporIsmen will
desist from their further destruction this sea-
son. The partridge is the most innocent bird
we have. and at the same time the most deli
cious for the table His clear ringing notes in
spring and summer are always suggestive Of
affection. Separate the mates, and they call
each other as pairtively as a wooing lover
When they meet they fondle and caress and
play around, giving evidence of the pain of
the separation and the pleasure of meeting
Let us deal gently with the beautiful bird, at
least until they have raised another brood.

Governor Downey said that under
the existing State laws, water becomes
property by possession, and the filing
the claim. The owner can sell water
at an immense figure. This Is what
this law will obviate. He thought
the Legislators could not take away
from man right to water which he
has now in possession; but the State
lie. No man should act the dog.
Until the State possesses a general
law, there will be no equality in the
distribution of water.


Mr.. Venable agreed with Gov. Dow
ney that more stringent laws were
needed. Where once ten men thought
they had no water to spare, now one
hundred men have water and to spare.
They have found that those who had
the least water had the largest crops.
We had over-valued the use Of much
water. With this understanding, he
was in favor of the resolution.


Mr.. Higbie said there was an idea
with some that taking the water inter-
feres with the rights of others. The
government now owns the water and
should distribute it as it seems best.
If properly and evenly appropriated,
it could furnish all In some places
they wait until the middle Of May
and then all go for the water, instead
of taking water earlier. Thus there is
lack, which under better regulation
would be supplied.


Mr.. Olden thought if any law was
made, it should be made to operate on
each water district separately. Flor
ence, for instance, could get all the
water it needs from wells, and should
not be taxed to supply others. He had
no faith in government encourage
ment. The way should be for every
district to form joint stock companies.
The public canals in Pennsylvania, for
instance, cost three times what they
should, and after they were built they
did not pay expenses. They were sold
to private parties, after which they
were great source of profit. This is
the difference between public and pri-
vate corporations.


General StOneman believed in the
greatest good to the greatest number,
and that the ends justifies the means,
if the means are equal. He believed
the State had the right to control the
mainstay of all its citizens. The reso-
lutions contemplate no details. These
are left to the legislature. 1t may in
corporate company or in any other
way economize water, but it must
economize it.


Mr.. GrandOn said the way the water
business had been managed was a
grab game, but he did not wish to
have it kept up. He only wished to
prevent division, when this would be
Injurious. The system of State irr..
CATION is expensive. One who irri-
gates hundred acres would hardly
get enough off it to pay for the water
under this system. The State can
pass a law regulating water, but it
can't pass one regulating the time
when man shall use his water.


The question was called on the reso-
luton, and carried. The next three
were passed without debate, and the
balance referred to committee con-
sisting of Gov. Downey, Messrs. Cor
don, Howard, Workman, and Olden,
