Women love but once shun that
once.


Women hate IN proportion 70
their lovo.


Most women retain their virtue,
but many like to risk It.


Not all women lie, but no wo-
man ever tells the whole truth.


Hatred is at the bottom Of love,
as death is at the bottom OF life.


One always thinks he's IN love
when going up stairs; coming down
he is not 80 sure of it.


You cannot impede q woman
IN her love; you cannot recall the
arrow into space.
| A woman is n fortress which can
always be taken-by him who
knows how to make the assault.


Mans vanity is irritatcd by de.
feat and consoled with rupture.
/ Woman's vanity acts in an inverse
sense.


Ask not woman's heart; she
has put one and may give 1t. OF
all fatal presents a woman's heart
is the most deadly.


Do not love a romantic woman
She will make an ideal Of you which
YOU cannot realize, and which it will
grieve you to destroy.-[Paris Chi

Illegitimacy in Scotland has attained
an extent that will surprise those who
popularly contrast Continental profigacy
continent Puritanism in the land of
Knox. According to the last annual re-
port of the Scotch registrar general the
number of illegitimate births during the
past year was IL OFT, or 81 per cent. OF
the total number-a number sufficiently
large, though the percentage is the
smallest recorded for ten years. Among
tie poorer and more ignorant classes in
the rural districts the rate of illegiti-
macy rises to ia per cent. The fact
may in some measure be accounted for
by the payment by the parish of a small
allowance weekly to the mothers OF
these children for their support.

THE Pittsburg Commercial is ungenerous
enough to charge by innuendo that the pub
lication Of recent article in this journal
regarding the Cuban situation was intended
to influence the gold and stock market.
The decline of gold at the time mentioned
serves as q sufficient answer to this, as it
shows that the tenor Of the article in ques-
tion was accepted by the gold gamblers as
conservative in its tendency, and not calcu-
lated to disturb the present condition of the
market. 1t was calculated, however, TO
attract attention to subject Of greatest
importance to the American people, and
one which has been the occasion of deepest
concern with those lii authority both in
this country and in Europe. For this reason
it appears strange that journal of the
CommerciGPs accustomed fairness should
treat it in such aippant manner. But we
can afford to wait for the vindication of our
course which is certain to come in the not
far distant future.

If PRoYEssoR MARsH's charges against
Secretary Delano had been alleged against
a Liberal Republican or Democrat the
Opposition press would have earnestly de-
manded an investigation of them before
calling upon the President to take any def.
mite step in the direction Of his removal
from Office. As it is, the demand for the
removal is made before any investigation to
show either that Mr.. Delsno is guilty or that
the Professor may have been deceived.
These are the simple facts of the case as 1t

it quickens the circulation that gives the
red face it increases the activity of the
brain, and also the tongue But as the
blood goes to the brain faster than common,
1t returns faster, and no special harm results.
But suppose man keeps on drinking, the
blood is sent to the brain much faster, in
such large quantities that in order to make
room for it the arteries have to enlarge
themselves, they increase in size, and in do
ing so press against the more yielding faccid
veins which carry the blood out of the
brain, and thus considerably diminish their
size, their pores the result being that the
blood is not only carried to the arteries of
the brain faster than is natual or healthful,
but is prevented from leaving it as fast as
usual, hence double set of causes of death
are set in operation. Hence man may
drink enough brandy, or other spirits, in a
few hours, or even minutes to bring on IA
tai attack of apoplexy; this is literally be-
ing dead drunk.
Year: 1875

When man is asleep his pulse beats and
his lungs play he is without sense, and
can be easily awakened.


If person faints he, too, is without
sense, but he has no pulse, and does not
breathe. Apoplexy is between the two !;
the heart beats, the lungs play as in sleep,
and there is no sense as in fainting, but you
can't shake the man back to life.


In sleep the face is natural


In a fainting fit it has the pallor of DEATH


In appoplexy it is swollen, turpid, and
fairly ivid.


If a man is asleep, let him alone nature
will wake him up as soon as he has got
sleep enough.


When a person faints, all that is necess-
airy is to lay him down on the floor, and he
will ''come to- in double time He faint
ed because the heart missed beat, failed
for an instant, failed for only once to send
the proper amount of blood to the BRAIN
If you place the patient in horizontal posi-
ton, lay him on his back. 1t does not re-
quire much force of the heart to send the
blood on level to the head but, if you
set man up, the blood has to be shot up
ward to the head, and this requires much
more force yet in nine cases out of ten, if
a person faints and falls to the floor, the

him up, or place him on the chair.


In apoplexy, as there is too much blood
in the head, every one can see that the pos
ition is to set a man up, and the blood nat
urally tends downward-as much so as wa
ter will come out of bottle when it is tur-
ed upside down if the cork is out.


If then, man is merely asleep, let him
alone, for the face is natural.


If a man has tainted, lay him fat on his
back, for his face is deadly pale.


If a man is apopoletic, set him in chair,
because the face is swollen, and liyid with
its excess Of blood.


What is apoplexy? From the sudden
ness Of the attack and the apparent cause
lessness Of it, the Greeks connected it in
their own minds with the idea of stroke
Of lighting as coming from the almighty
hand: it literally means "a stroke from
above" As in Simultaneous as the hurting
of thunderbolt in clear sky, there comes
a loss of sense, and feeling, and thought,
and motion the heart beats, the lungs play,
but that is all-they soon cease forever
The Romans considered the person to be
thunder struck" or planet struck, as if it
were of unearthly origin.


The esential nature of apoplexy is an un-
natural amount Of blood to the brain. What
ever sends too much to the brain may cause
apoplexy. WateVer keeps the blood coming
from the brain-dams it up-may cause
apoplexy. This is the kind of apoplexy
which seems to come without any appar-
ent adequate cause. Tying cord around
the neck, or holding the head downward
too long, can bring on an attack of apoplex-
ey, by damming up the blood in the brain,
and keeping it from returning to the body
A sudden mental, emotion can send too
much blood to the brain, or too great men
tai excitement does the same thing.


1t is the nature of all wines and spirits to
send an increased amount of blood to the
brain hence alcohol is said stimulates the
brain. The first effect of taking glass of
wine or stronger form of alcohol, is to send
the blood there faster than common, hence

The EastOn Erpress of last Thursday has
the following account of a little confidence
game" that was played on farmer living a
short distance from Easton:


On Friday last two strangers visited
the livery stable of f. E. Hemingway, Esq.
and hired a horse and carriage, stating that
they wanted to visit the country for the
purpose of selling eye glasses. They drove
as far as Thompson's old mill, on the Bush
Kill, where one Of them alighted and painted
his face, which gave him a sickly look
The man in the carriage drove on, while
the other stopped at the house of Mr.. Jacob
Saylor, about two miles up the BushkiIl,
and told Mr. Saylor that he had lot of
goods in New York which would be sold
unless he could raise 1925. Finally he
came down to S125, and offered to leave
with Mr.. Saylor two gold watches, which
he represented were in box in his posses
sion, as security for the amount, and which
he said were worth $500. He exhibited
two fine looking gold time keepers, and
when the money was given him he took a
tin box from his pocket and professed to
put the watches inside, and then locked it,
putting the key in his pocket and handing
the box over to Mr.. Saylor.


During the transaction a second party
had put in an appearance, who professed to
be stranger to the first, but who offered to
give him $500 for the watches, which the
latter declined to accept assigning as
reason that Mr.. Saylor was an old farmer,
who he could always find at his place, and
he would rather take the money from him,
as he would just know where to come when
he was able to redeem his watches. After
the bargain was concluded and the money
advanced the second party left with Mr..
Walter, who happened to be present, to
look at a COW, which the fellow said he
desired to purchase; but after walking
short distance, he made some excuse about
not buying then, stating that as the first
stranger would be out to Mr. Saylor's on
Monday, he thought he would meet him
there and make the purchase. He left Mr..
Walter, and not long afterward was seen
in compasy with the first party who was
undoubtedly his accomplice in the swindlc.


They drove into Easton, where they re-
turned their rig to Mr.. Hemingway, from
whom it had been hired, and about |
O'Clock they were seen making their way to
one of the depots, and since then nothing
has been heard of the couple, who doubt
less are spending their easily gotten green
backs with their kindred companions in
crime in New York


Mr. Saylor subsequently brought the box
to Easton, opened it in the presence of sew
eral gentlemen and took out the watches
They were then taken to jeweler, who,
upon examining them, declared them to be
worth about $40 Nlr. Saylor takes his
loss philosophically, but if ever this ''dis-
tressed' individual comes across his path
the consequences might not be so pleasant

changed to the same day with the State cleo
ton but the result Of the change was so un-
satisfactory that in 1853, after trial of four
years, the municipal and general elections
were again separated, and continued to be
held on different days until the passage Of
the Tweed charter in 1870. We should like
to see on what specific ground the sincere
opponents of Tammany would undertake to
justify this feature of the Tammany Ring
legislation, which was such wide devia-
tion from the general policy of the State in
respect to municipal elections.


1t is easy to understand why professional
politicians prefer to have the city election
and the general election take place on the
same day. The professional gamblers in
politics depend on the mercenary vote which
is brought to the polls by the expenditure of
money. When twenty or thirty candidates
are running at the same time, with an equal
interest in bringing out the hireling vote,
1t is great saving of resources for them
to club together and share the expenses that
attend an election. 1t is the purchasable
vote that demoralizes our politics, and the
greater the number Of purchasers who have
common interest in bringing the corrupti-
BILE element to the polls the greater are the
chances that each will succeed. If we could
have city election in which only Mayor
and Aldermen were to be chosen, without
swarm of other officers to be voted for, there
would not be election funds enough to call
out the purchasable element, and the
contest would be decided by citizens
who go to the polls to express their honest
convictions. The jumbling of city and State
elections together and holding them on the
same day cheapens political bribery to all
the candidates The bad practice of spend
ing money in elections looks to bringing
voters to the polls who would otherwise stay
away, and the greater the number Of candi-
dates running at the same time the
greater is the common electioneering
fund which is swelled by the joint con-
tributions of all the candidates BY sepa-
rating the municipal from the general
election the corrupt element would be left at
home in the municipal contest, and few cti-
zens would come to the polls who were not
called out by genuine public spirit. The
better class would be encouraged to partici-
pate in the election because their votes would
not be swamped by the mercenary element,
which would lack purchasers when multi
tude Of candidates did not swell the election
eering fund. Partisan feeling would have
less influence when the general ticket of
political party was not at stake and the
municipal election turned wholly on mu-
nicipal questions. A great part of the
strength of Tammany depends on its regular
Endorsement by the democratic State conven-
tions and its ability to figure in this city as
the authorized representative of the demo-
cratic party of the State. If the city cleo
tions were held in the spring Tammany
would have to stand on its own unsupported
strength, and could be easily beaten in every
contest We trust that, on further reflection,
all the enemies Of Tammany will unite in
the demand for o charter election in the
spring.

In o recent cable despatch from London
there was the report of an address by Signor
Caperio, Deputy of the Italian Parliament,
delivered before a meeting of the Italian
Geographical Society. Signor Caperio, in
the course of his address on the latest ex-
plorations in the regions of the Victoria
Niyanza, made complimentary reference to
this journal, and in conclusion expressed
the wish for "a HERALD in Italy" Of
course we are gratifed at these recognitions
especially from countries as distant as Italy
centres in themselves of high civilization.
We can understand also the aspiration of
an enlightened statesman like Signor Ca
perio for "a HERALD in Italy"


Italy will never have HERALD until the
Italian people desire it. A journal like the
HERALD is the representative, and in GER
tain sense the product, of the community in
which it is published. No enterprise, no
genius, no courage could create q HERALD
amid conditions foreign to its success. That
is to say, we cannot have HERALD in Paris,
or in Vienna, or in Constantinople, or
even in Berlin. This is not because the
people of these great nations would not appre-
ciate and to certain extent support a
HERALD, but because the government systems
are in antagonism to that cardinal principle
of free institutions without which the
HERALD could not live-namely, the freedom
of the press Take Germany, the most
powerful nation in Europe, and, in many
respects, among the most enlightened and
far-seeing. The HERALD would be impossible
in Berlin, because the duty Of its editor
would be not to please the people, but to
respect the wishes of Prince Bismarck In
Vienna the leading journal is compelled to
build its own telegraph wire to the frontier Of
the Austrian Empire, 50 that it can receive
dispatches without the supervision of the
Austrian authorities. In Paris journalism
has reached high point, so far
as the brilliancy and wit of the indi-
vidual writers are concerned, probably the
highest point in the world. We have no
better essay writing than in the Paris press,
and the history OF success in France, political
and otherwise, shows that journalism has in
most cases been the first step to authority
and fame. But journal like the HERALD
would be impossible in Paris, because Bona
partisan would control it to-day and radical
ism tomorrow, and its editors would live IN
