An Independent Republican editor in

When the Wisconsin people get to hav

The farmers of Washington Territory
arc not enjoying any pretty poetic con
ceits about the ‘“Cricket on the Hearth”
just now. Millions of these insects, av
eraging an inch and a half long, are de
vastating the crops, and the Digger In
dians are not numerous enough to make
any apparent impression on the pests.
The people of that Territory now demand
poison or more Diggers.
Thb Cincinnati Coni mcrcial says: “The
most important thing is to prevent the
Democratic party from captuiing the
government.” That’s a little nearer the
truth than Republican papers generally
get. If the Commercial had said that
“the most important thing to the Repub
lican party is to keep the rascals from
being turned out of the offices,” it would
have hit the nail exactly on the head.
The Virginia manufacturers don’t seem

In the battle for protection. It is said
that Hon. George D. Wise went among
the large iron establishments at Rich

letter of acceptance. He was told by the
men generally that they had not read it.
The stereotyped reply was: “It is too
long; I did not care to read all that

It looks as thousrh our esteemed con

Our esteemed contemporary doesn’t
clearly understand the swap. Mr. Nor

speech accepting the nomination did he
not aim to place himself squarely on the
National Democratic platform ?
If the woman suffragists don’t nominate
Gen. Butler and Susan B. Anthony for
President and Vice President, they will
have proved themselves unworthy of the
ballot-box and be guilty of gross ingrati

taffy for years. Just to think that he is
bolding back two letters of acceptance in
order to hear from them, so he may put all
three replies in one envelope and save
postage, etc. Hurry up, gallant ladies.
There is no that Senator Edmunds
is very conservative, if not cool, for a man
of bis strong party feelings, during this
Presidential year. He is taking aback
seat and eating humble pie, and he may
take a quiet mess of crow after a while.
This attitude of the distinguished Ver
monter may be accounted for by the fact
that be is the author of grave charges
against Blaine, which were made in a let
ter four years ago, a copy of which is in
the bands of parties who know its value
in case the Senator should assume any
undue enthusiasm for the “plumed
knight.”
The children of this world are some
times wiser in their day and generation
than the children of light. A tramp, his
wife and two children reached Louisville
one day last week tired and almost starv

people, but he knew that would not
puj. enough food for them all. What
could he do? He simply got drunk and
was taken to the barracks, where be was
eivea food and a cot. His family was
also cared for by the city. Besides having
the pleasure of a spree, he made that
barter obtain about *lO worth of board

Blaine and the Irish Catholics.
In seeking the Irish Catholic vote
Blaine will have to satisfactorily explain
oome things which appear in his record
before he can hope for a reasonable meas
ure of success. Before he became as well
known to fame as be is now, and was a
manager of local politics in Maine, he
was recognized as a prominent member
of the American or Know Nothing party.
In 1856 he wrote in the Kennebec Journal:
We need stringent laws to regulate the
Immigration from Europe, and faithful
officers to administer them. If present
abuses are not corrected, and corrected
speedily, we shall become worse than
Botany Bay. In fact we are worse now,
for we have little doubt that more crimi
nals reach us from Great Britain in a sin
gle year than were ever transported to the
penal colonies In ten years. And these
convicts and felons have hardly got our
dust upon their feet before they are allow
ed to vote and control our elections. And
yet, with these facts plain as the light,
demagogues will tell us that our foreign
immigration is nothing but a benefit to us,
and that our laws regulating it need no
amendment.
Everybody who remembers the time
when the American party flourished
knows the effect which articles of this
kind had on the public mind. The bitter
est feeling of hostility against foreigners
manifested itself throughout the country,
and in many localities there were bloody
collisions between the native and foreign
born citizens. Blaine’s opinions with re
spect to foreign-born citizens may have
undergone a change since 1855, but there
is reason to think that as late as 1875 be
entertained anything but kind feelings fir
Irish Catholics. In that year Gen.
Plaisted was the Republican candidate
for Congress in the Fourth Maine district,
and James C. Madigan was the Demo
cratic candidate. A circular was printed
in the oflice of Blaine’s paper, the Ken
nebec Journal, and sent out from Blaine’s
house, which caused intense indignation
among Irish Catholics in that district. In
that circular which was signed “Protes
tant Democrat,” and which many be
lieved was written by Blaine, a most un
called for attack was made on the Cath
olic Church. The following is an extract
from the circular:
James C. Madigan, the Democratic can
didate for Congress in the Fourth district,
is a verv zealous Roman Catholic. He is
believed by many to lie a lay member of
tbe secret order of Jesuits, just as the late
Senator Casserly, of California, was.
Casserly was elected to the senate by
Jesuit nionev, $ 100,000 contributed by that
order, and the fact being discovered, Cas
serly at once resigned his seatjather than
stand an investigation and expose
the workings of the order. Irt Ohio and
other States the Catholics are striving to
destroy the only avenue for education
left open to the children of the poor.
They say, “We will have ehurch schools
instead,” and thus let loose the worst
of theological quarrels all over the land.
It is a great gain to the Catholics to get
these prominent men in Congress. They
have now four members of the United
States Senate, one each from the States of
New York. Missouri, Virginia and Flori
da. The whole energy of the Catholic
Church is now exerted to increase its
power in tbe Congress of the l nited
States. The Papists everywhere are
watching the result of Madigan’s cam
paign in this dist-ict, and it will be hail
ed everywhere as a great triumph for the
Catholics if a New England Protestant
district sends a Roman Catholic to repre
sent them in Congress.
Allusion was made in the Northern
press a few weeks ago to this circular,
and the eharge was made that Blaine was
the author of it. Thus far his managers
do not appear to have taken any notice of
the charge. When Mr. Blaine’s record
is fully exposed it is not improbable that
the enthusiasm that a few Irish Catholics
in New York and in some other parts of
the country are showing in his interest
will abate considerably.
The New Shipping Act.
The new shipping act, known as the
Dingiey act, which went into operation
July 1, is being subjected to a good deal
of criticism. Among ship owners and
agents its main features are approved.
They, however, express the opinion that
it will have to be amended in some re
spects before it will be generally satis
factory. The provision that attracts the
most attention is that which prohibits
tbe payment of advance wages to sea
men. The penalty for violating this pro
vision is severe. It makes such payment
a misdemeanor, and the punishment is a
fine equal to four times the amount ad
vanced, or imprisonment for six
months. Whaling vessels are ex
cepted from this provision; and
seamen may also provide for an
allotment of their wages to their wives,
mothers or other relatives. The purpose
of this section of tbe act is to protect sea
men against those who make it a busi
ness to supply ships with seamen, and
who generally get the first month’s wages
that it has been customary to advance.
It often happens that a seaman is not
only shipped to a port where he does not
want to go, but that more than his first
mouth's pay is taken by those who have
no right to it. Tbe new system inaugu
rated by the act will prove beneficent to
seamen, but It will be some
time before it will work smooth
ly. It is yet imperfectly understood
by them, and a good many of them object
to it. The protective features of the act
cover the interests of seamen at foreign
as well as at home ports. There Is one
point, however, which Congress appears
to have overlooked. A master of a vessel
may discharge his crew in a foreign port
without cause, and hire another crew.
A few days ago the crew of a steamship
about sailing from Philadelphia for Liv
erpool refused to go on board the vessel
until the agents entered into an agree
ment that they should be retained
for the round trip. Their point
was that there was nothing to
prevent the master from discharging
them in Liverpool and hiring a crew ol
English seamen for less wages. The
agents of the vessel were compelled to
accede to the' terms of the seamen. The
Dingiey act is an experiment to a certain
extent, and it will require a year or more
to determine exactly what changes are
necessary to render it more satisfactory.
Capt. Paihe.
The irrepressible Capt. Paine and his
followers have been removed from the In
dian Territory. They have been taken to
Fort Smith and placed in charge of the
United States Marshal. It is announced
that all the improvements that the Paine
settlers made in the Territory will be de
stroyed. Paine ought now to be satisfied.
He will probably be tried for trespassing
on the lands of the Territory. A trial, he
claims, is what he wants, and what he
has been wanting for a long time. He
wants the question, whether or not the
Indians have the exclusive right to in
habit the Territory, settled.
He claims to have consulted the best
legal talent of the country, and to have
been advised that the government has no
right to drive him or anybody else out of
the Territory who wants to make a home
there. It may be that he has been cor
rectly advised. If he has, and he can get
the question he wants determined fairly
before the courts, be may be able to 6how
that instead of being a trespasser he is a
persecuted man. If his point should be
sustained the Territory would at
once be open to white settlement.
It is a beautiful country. The soil is rich
and the climate is superb. It would be
settled rapidly. The Indians do not oc
cupy one-tenth part of it. It is now a
resort for criminals from Texas, Missouri
and Kansas. It is desirable, of course,
that treaties with the Indians should be
respected, but no one will deny that it
would be advantageous, from almost
every point of view, to have the Territory
opened to white settlement.
There is a rumor current that Patrick
Ford really has no sympathy with the
Blaine movement, but that the Irish
World has gone into the hands of a mon
eyed corporation which is using it to di
vert as many Irish votes as possible to the
Republican ticket-The presence of that em
inent laboring man, John Roach, the ship
builder, and others of the same stripe, at
the Irish demonstration in New York
Monday may be a key to the above rumor,
and point to the identity of at least a por
tion of the ring.
It is suspected that a good many Re
publican politicians contracted the
“lumpy jaw” disease while they were
in Chicago. The symptoms are already
beginning to be quite easily detected.
The Penalty of Filth.
If the statements of newspaper corres
pondents in regard to the bad sanitary
condition of Marseilles and Toulon are
to be believed, the wonder is that
the rate of mortality from cholera
in these cities has not been much
higher than has been reported. In
tbe better parts of Marseilles there is
said to be little sign of the te: rible epi
demic. While fewer people are visible
than before the panic, the shops are, with
few exceptions, open and business is pro
gressing as usual. In the poorer quar
ters the disease flourishes on the
filth which there prevails. The streets
filled with garbage, fetid water flowing
through them, and the unused canals cov
ered with all kinds of refuse—rotten vege
tables, dead cats, dogs and rats, rotten
rags, etc.—even as late as Saturday last,
sent forth odors which were unbearable to
persons unaccustomed to such things. In
Toulon the condition is represented to be
worse than in Marseilles. A city of
80,000 people pays no regard whatever to
the most imperative laws of hygiene.
There wbat is called the natural death
rate is always high, but when abnormal
diseases break out they are 6aid to be
invariably of a malignant type, and they
swell the list to lrightful proportions.
It is difficult to conceive how the sani
tary officials of the French Government,
and especially of the cities themselves,
could so wholly neglect their duties as they
appear to have done. They certainly de
serve not only the severest censure, bat the
severest punishment allowable by law.
Europe is said to be full of just such
cities, which equal in want of cleanliness
and decency the most disreputable towns
in Asia and Africa.
The government that permits such
state of affairs not only commits a crime
against its own people but against every
nation and people of the civilized world.
It receives and harbors tbe pestilence,
propagates it and sends It on its errand
of death and devastation. There appears
to be no practicable remedy for this.
Each country and community will have
to look to its own safety, and guard as
best it can against tne approach of pes
tilential diseases, and provide for the
combat with them in case they secure
lodgment within its borders.
Commander Schley and Lieuts. Emory
and Greely will receive a good deal of at
tention during the next month or two.
Greely was successful in his expedition
to the Polar regions, and Schley and
Emory were successful in rescuing him
and the remnants of bis party when they
Dad about given up all hope of rescue.
They have ail proved themselves to be
men of endurance and courage. It is
worthy of notice that they are all great
society men and have some of the char
acteristics of the dude. Greely is a slen
der young man and parts his hair in the
middle. He is very nice with respect to
his dress, and was noted for the fashiona
ble cut of his clothes before be de
parted on his Arctic expedition.
Emory is a leader in fashion
able society at Washington. While
waiting lor his vessel to be put in order
for her Northern trip he was one of the
gayest of the gay at Washington recep
tions, and was in great demand as a lead
er of the german. He is a handsome man
and a great favorite with the ladies.
Schley is not so much a devotee to society,
but is careful to observe all its require
ments. These three men who have shown
their readiness to brave hardships and
dangers are as capable ot winning the
good will of society as they are of win
ning the admiration of the world.
Tue latest plan for destroying Mormon
ism is said to have been agreed upon by a
party of capitalists who hope to kill two
birds with one stone, f. e., make their mil
lion in a land speculation and at the same
time accomplish tbe object named. They
propose to buy up immense tracts of land
in Utah, and to found a great self-support
ing Catholic Irish colony. It is expected
that an irrepressible conflict will at once
spring up between the colonists and Mor
mons in which the latter will probably be
compelled to emigrate. Then the capi
talists will buy the Mormons farms and
other property for a song almost, and sell
at enormous profits to their Irish tenants
on long time. The capitalists would thus
practically become the proprietors of the
land and people, as the markets for pro
duce, etc., would be’ in their hands, and
they could keep the settlers in a suitable
state of poverty and dependence for many
years.
It is stated that Judge Reid, the Repub
lican candidate for Governor of Tennes
see, is endeavoring to enlist the sympathy
of the old Whigs of that State. He is not
likely to be successful. Even editor
Colyar, of the Nashville American, turns
on him the “cold, ingenuous eye of fro
zen kindness.”

The Blaine managers make discouragingly

Democracy') Historical Record.
Xew York World (Dem.).
But why should, of all men, naturalized
workingmen overlook the historical record of
the Democratic party, the natural friend of

the natural enemy of the encroachments of
c. 'rporaie power and the privileged classes?
Years asro the stanch enemy of Know-
Notbingisin and the fr.end of the oppressed of
all races, the Democracy still adheres to the
same spiri' and carries its old banner of
Liberty and Equality.

London of which it is said that their music is
so excruciating that they play for only two

At this time, when cut flowers fade so soon,
it is well to know that if a small bit of the
stem is cut off and the end immersed in very
hot water the flower will frequently revive
and resume its beauty. Colored flowers are
more easilv rejuvenated than white ones,
which are apt to turn yellow. For preserving
flowers in water, flnely pulverized charcoal
should be put into the vase at this season.
The finest private ship in the world, Wil

some of those ocean steamers which first
began trans-Atlantic navigation. She is bn lt

30 feet, and depth 20 feet. Her engine is MOO
horse-power and her supply of fresh w> ter is
4,500 gallons. To this is added an ice machine
which will make 500 pounds per day. The
finish of the saloon is in the finest possible
style.
The St. Louis Republican, while conceding
the apparent decadence of American riflemen
since modern breech loading anus came into
general use, yet claims that “all along the
frontiers and all through the South and West
there are plenty of riflemen still. They may
not devote so much time to hunting as former
lv, but that is due very largely to the fact that
the introduction of diversified industries has
given them something else to amuse them
selves with.”
The divorce of the Grand Duke of Hesse
has been rushed through the Court of Darm
stadt by a sort of coup d'etat. One day it was
not even decided which judge was to hear
the case: the next, all difficulties were over
come, and the marriage was annulled after a
technical discussion of half an hour. The
fact was that the Grand Duke vowed that he
would not return to Darmstadt from Silesia
until the matter was finally disposed of, and
the proceedi gs were also hastened because
some contumacious members of tbe Landtag
were preparing to interrogate the Minister on
the subject, which would have led to a most
undesirable discussion.
••That is tbe apple of my eye, sir, the gem

guillotine with his broken jaw swathed in a
white linen cloth. An hour after the knife
fell, Mme. Tcssaud, cnahrtnkinz, plied her
ghastly trade, took his head in her lap and
made the cast which is now shown—an his
torical relic, of which the brother* Tnssand
are justly proud. In the Tussaud wax work
collection in London, which is about to he re
moved to more commodious quarters, there is
also tbe model of Marat in his bath, which
brave Mme. Tuisaud took with her own hands.
••Thev came for me.'' she says, “to go to the

The following “points” are derived from
the experience of an English lady of good
social position but limited means, who for
several years has been taking “clients’ in
need of husbands to watering places during
the season. In ten years she scores twenty
three fueeesses and nine failures, ths hsher
of men. It appears that dark girls go off liest
in spring and autumn, anil blondes at mid
summer; that the market is apt to be dull
the beginning of the season, and to
irrow brisk toward its close: that very
young, fair men like brunettes best,
but veer slowly toward their lighter
sisters as the fair men grow older, ana that
the convrse is as true of very young dar
men; that brunettes almost as invariably pre
fer fair men, irre-pective of ace, and that the
predilection of blondes is commonly an oppo
site one; trat blonde girls work off very ill in
raw, coldish weather; that to couple a fa'r
and a dark girl in walking, driving, etc., is
generally, but not always, good policy, since
tbe intended victim sometimes falls in love
with each in succession, and ends by taking
neiiher; and. finally, that while mountains
and lakes prove lively' incentives to flirtation
at ear ier periods, tne seaside was decidedly
stronger in the way of landing the fish aj the
leaves turn and the days grow shorter.
Chinese shaving is a slow process. The
customer scats himself erect on a stool or
bench, with the knowledge that an hour must
pass before he is released. The barber begins
operations by carefully washing the victim's
face, cars and head with very warm water,
wiping off the dripping parts with a wet towel.
He then begins shaving the head, or rather
around the crown where the queue begins,
commencing over the rislit ear and moving
along until the forehead and lower part of
the back head are cleaned. He next passes to
the face and afterward to the ueck. The ears
are shaved and carefully brushed out and
cleaned with delicate brushes and in
genious instruments. The face, neck
and arms are then washed and
rubbed until the skin assumes a healthy pink.
The second part is something like the “Swe
dish-movement cure.” The barber begins to
turn and manipulate the head and neck until
everv cord and muscle has been stretched,
pinched and pulled. The shoulders, arms and
back are also scientifically p unded and pull
ed until the victim expresses a desire to have
the mauipnlntor stop. The queue is then un
braided, combed and cleaned, and again
braided up and put in place. Occasionally,
when a barber desires to show great attention
to a distinguished customer, he rubs and nulls
his fingers and even ?iis toes until the joints
crack.

GEORGIA EDITORS.
The Way They Were Entertained at
Baltimore Last Saturday.
It was a very pleasant party that just
before midday Saturday, says tbe Balti
more American, gathered together on the
deck and in tbe saloon of the steamer
Westmoreland, at pier 9, Light street
wharf. The eighty-odd ladies and gen
tlemen of the Georgia Press Association
were the guests of the Merchants and
Manufacturers’ Association, the Chemi
cal and Fertilizer Exchange, and the
Press Association of this city, for a little
harbor and river trip of four hours’ dura
tion. The weather was very kind. The
suu staved behind the clouds all the
while, and a good average breeze cooled
the fevered editorial brow, relaxed for
once from corrugating over the destinies
of the nation. Most all the editors were
there, and they were good enough to bring
tbeir charming wives and pretty daugh
ters. After coffee and cigars, there was a
general movement to the forward saloon,
where guests and hosts in mass meeting
assembled.
Mr. W. S. Powell, of the M. A M., with
grace and dignity took the chair, and in
troduced to the company Mayor F. C.
Latrobe, who said: “Representing, as I
happen to do at the present moment, the
municipality of Baltimore, 1 take great
pleasure in welcoming you, Mr. President
and ladies and gentlemen, in the name of
the citizens of Baltimore. You came to
us as visitors from the great State of
Georgia—the Empire State of the South.
We of Maryland are as proud ot Georgia
as are its own citizens, and as citizens of
the United States we have a right to be.
We recognize its greatness, the
greatness of the South—that whole
South which presents *an example
of wonderful recuperation unexplained
in the history of the world, and
already, after all that it sufl'ered from the
war, stands to-day rivalling in enterprise
and prosperity the West, the Northwest
and tbe North. We ol Maryland want a
closer alliance and connection with the
Southern section. Too much of our capi
tal was invested in lines to the West. Not
that we do not derive great benefit from
our Western connections, but tbe true
trade of Baltimore is with the South.
There lie our business interests. In plain,
practical truth we want to sell you goods.
We are truly glad to welcome you here,
and to heartily and hospitably share with
you while you are with us wliat we have;
but when it comes to business, we want
you of Georgia and of the South to
buy from us, and, when the time
comes, to pay u 9 promptly. We can sell
you all that New Y r ork can, at rates as
cheap, and send the goods by a shorter
route at lower freights. I appeal to you,”
said the Mayor, turning towards the ladies
with a winning and most captivating
smile, worth at least a ten ton sale: “I
appeal to the ladies of Georgia to use
their influence as wives and sweethearts
to increase the trade of your State with
Baltimore. Georgia sends us eotton, even
corn and wheat now, and, above all, you
send us the Georgia wonder to break our
umbrellas and move our furniture for us.
In return, we send you Maryland fertil
izers,.and with all due deference to the
members of the trade here present, I
fear we send you a good deal of Mary
land soil at the same time, thus com
mingling in close union the soil of Mary
land and of Georgia. [Great laughter].
We owe you, gentlemen of Georgia, many
obligations for showing yourselves to be
men of taste as well as enterprise—you
have brought the ladies along with you.
And though in fear of the consequences
in the oitv, I must say that Georgia evi
dently rivals Baltimore as a garden of
beauty.” There was wild waving of
handkerchiefs, and the Mayor added to
“the pleasure of the occasion” by say
ing he did not intend to dilate upon our
terminal facilities, concluding by prom
ising the gentlemen that lie would "“take
care of them if they got into any trouble
while in the city, and would remit ail
their fines.”
Col. J. 11. Estill, proprietor of the Sa
vannah News, returned thanks, as Pres
ident of the Georgia Press Association,
for the welcome and reception. “We
came,” he said, “knowing of your hospita
ble hearts: but as visitors, not expecting
to be received as guests, or intending to
impose upon your hospitality. Baltimore
is a part ot us. It is the South’s great
city. We look upon it as a city of Geor
gia—our business relations are as close as
may be. Spread out your hands and they
will be closer, and Georgia’s trade will
be more yours. You need closer connec
tions with many parts of the State and of
the South. Baltimore and Maryland were
outside of that government which lasted
for only four years, but made a record
for centuries, and yet there were those of
Maryland who fought side by side with
Georgia—not for their own altars and
firesides, but because they thought the
cause was just—who came from their
homes to join with us in facing death.
And I do not doubt that those of Mary
land who then differed with those noble
men are now proud of their bravery and
courage. We know it all; we feel it all.
No one except we who went through
those four years can realize what Balti
more did for the South, and we find it dif
ficult to express our thanks. ‘Maryland,
My Maryland,’ was and is as much our
song as yours. We came up here to see
our great city, and to thank you as best
we might.” Col. Estill spoke eloquently
and with evident feeling, and was heartily
applauded.
The Rev. J. W. Heidt, representing the
AYest Point News, made an admirable ad
dress, in which he deftly mingled pathos,
humor and good, hard bNSiness sense.
Speeches were also made by Mr. Robert
Ober, ot the Chemical and Fertilizer Ex
change; by Mr. J. M. Peeples, of the
Lawrenceville Herald; by Mr. German H.
Hunt, Mr. J. Frank Supplee, and the Rev.

SHOT BY A DAUGHTER’S LOVER.
A Father's Attempt to Prevent the
Meetings of the Couple.
Irving J. Mills, a prominent young man
of Pocomoke City, Somerset county, Md.,
says a Baltimore special of July 27, yes
terday shot and killed Thomas J. Davis,
the father of the young lady to whom he
had been paying attentions. Mrs. Mary
N. Ross, the daughter of her lover’s vic
tim, is a handsome widow, 24 years of age.
Her husband died two years ago. Some
months since she became acquainted
with Mills, a dashing young man,
good looking, and one ol the lead
ing society men of the place. Her
father formed as great a dislike as she
did a liking for the young man. When
Mills began to pay regular visits to the
Davis home the father counseled his
daughter not to keep the young man’s
company, but it seen.s she did as most
lovers clo —evaded the parental surveil
lance by meeting her lover clandestinely.
The father, alter forbidding the young
man the house, continued to upbraid bis
daughter whenever he heard of her meet
ing Mills.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Ross met
Mills on the road near Pocomoke. He
asked her to take a ride. She entered his
buggy, and they started at a lively rate
down the road. Just as they were about
to cross the bridge the young woman’s
father stepped out of the house of Mr.
Dickenson, a friend, and, running out on
the road, caught hold of the horse in a
threatening manner, making some angry
remark to Mills. The latter the
old gentleman to take his off bis
hors.. Davis refused. TbUffcxt in
stant there was a sharp report, and
Mr6. Ross beheld her father lying in
tbe road, dying. Turning to her lover 6he
tried to wrest the pistol from his hand,
but, as witnesses declare, he leaped from
the buggy, and was about to shoot again,
when Mrs. Ross succeeded in getting the
weapon away from him. The young wo
man then fainted. The father died in a
few minutes. Milla gave himself up to
the authorities, and says he killed Davis
in self-defense. Mrs. Ross is crazed with
grief, and is closely watched lor fear she
will attempt to take her life.
“Do Come Again Soon. ”
Life.
“Won’t you really takeoff yourgloves?”
asked Miss Brown, by way of conversa
tion. “Aw—thanks, no,” replied Pilkins.
“I’ve got to go in a minute.”
“Thank heavens 1” said the young lady to
herself. “He’s been here a lull hour and
hasn’t said one word.”
An inspiration struck her, and she
walked over to a side table.
“Ob, Mr. Pilkins,” she said, returning
with a paper in her hand. “Have you seen
last week’s LifeV’
“Ye-es,” answered Pilkins. “They
brought that out at the last three places
I’ve been to.”
“Oh, dear!” sighed the young lady as
she resumed her seat in despair.
“Did you go to the dog show last win
ter?” she asked after a ten minutes pause,
during which he had studiously regarded
the carpet.
“Yes,” answered Pilkins.
“Why, I didn’t know you were there,”
she said, and then added absent-minded
ly—“but then, how could I? 1 didn’t have
a catalogue.”
The silence was again broken only by his
saying:
“Really, I must be running up town.
Miss Brown. Had an awPlly jolly call, I
’sure you.”
The manufacturers of Dr. Price’s Cream
Baking Powder are rewarded by having
accredited to them the reputation of man
ufacturing good articles. It must not be
supposed that those who are willing, at
the cost of reputation and for the purpose
of gain, to impose adulterated goods on
the public, would hesitate to use injurious
adulterants.
AMONG THE DYING.
What the French 3. In Inter* Saw on thetr
Voyage of Inspection.
The Radical Deputy of Marseilles, M.
Clovis llugues, says a Herald cable of
July 28, has been all through the hospital
and cholera haunted quarters there. A
graphic pen gives a description of the dead
and dying whom he saw. The hospital is
on the nigh promontory between the en
trance of the port and Corniohe, and is
kept cool by the sea breezes even at noon
tide. The restaurants and baths in the
neighborhood are deserted. The Interior
of the pbaro is in the gorgeous style of
the Monaco Casino, and is beautifully
clean; but it is said the patients are kept
too dry. They are not allowed hot water
in abundance to drink, or prolonged hot
baths to help arterial circulation,.whi6h
the Asiatic cholera impedes. The Vol
taire's correspondent who went there
with the Ministers, confirms this impres
sion. He says the sea breezes enter
freely all the rooms, but the patients are
unconscious of them.
AT TUK BEDS.
In the first room there were ten lying in
their final attitudes. Their limbs were
parched and dry as sticks, all black and
icy. Nothing but the eyes showed life.
They were, however, staring and enlarged
by the attenuation of the rigid faces, but
the flickering flame of a dying candle was
in them. They expressed nothing but in
difference. “We were profoundly sad
dened (says the writer) by their aspect,
and did not, from fear of disturbing them,
breathe freely. We walked on tiptoe.
The Ministers took off their hats. M.
Clovis Hugues went to a bed where a boy
of twelve. In a spasm of pain, hail
kicked off the sheet. His eves were fixed
on the dimpled, sun-lighted, blue
sea, and he did not turn them to look at
the visitors. We approached him and
pressed his band, but he made no sign.
In the females’ w ard we saw an old woman
black as if carbonized, and a beautiful
young creature with an amber skin and
magnificent physique, breathing her last
breath. When she died her bed was
wheeled into the disinfecting chamber.
M. Waldeck-Rousseau, who showed
remarkable courage, helped the Sisters of
Charity in their lugubrious task. This
mortuary chamber is whitewashed, and
has vaporizing machines which cast out
clouds of phenylized steam so thick that
we were each soon invisible to the other.”
IN THE SUBURBS.
Many people are camping out in the
suburbs of Marseilles. Tee roads in the
country are thronged with vehicles, car
rying articles of furniture belonging to
the poor, who think they are safe outside.
On every side you may read on the shop
doors, “Shut on account of absence.”
The traveling truit hawkers have almost
all disappeared. An Italian navigation
company has reduced the wages of its
employes 10 per cent, on account of the
cholera. Some amusement was caused
when it was learned that after leaving
France and arriving at Geneva,
Dr. Koch was not a little indignant
to find that he had to be disinfected like
the other passengers coming from France.
He strongly objected to go through the
unpleasant process of fumigation. “It is
all nonsense to disinfect me,” observed
the illustrious German physician to the
official on duty. “Nonsense or not,” re
plied the latter, “you shall be fumigated
like the rest,” and the doctor was accord
ingly conducted to the disinfecting room.
Curiously enough he had previously de
clined to give information on the cholera
epidemic to the Swiss representatives in
France, on the plea that he held his
commission from the German Govern
ment.

ANGRY HOUSEKEEPERS
Wish to know why the Royal Baking Powder Company withhold from the Public
the simple intelligence that their Powder contains AMMONIA.
Eminent Physicians and Chemists
SAY THAT
Ammonia is a Dangerous Drug
in any human diet. Its use in food is an offense to nature.
Tartrate of Lime is found in all Cream of Tartar. It is a natural product, of
vegetable origin, derived from the wines which produce Cream of Tartar. It is a
constituent of the grape, as well as other fruits.
The idea that Tartrate of Lime can be converted into lime at the temperature of
the oven is the rankest nonsense, and could only originate in the brain of one totally
devoid of chemical knowledge. The “Royal” contains it. It has no injurious action
upon the system.
The crying of “Lime” in the way the Royal Baking Powder Company do is
another trick to extricate themselves from the U9e of the powerful drug Ammonia in
their powder.
DO NOT TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT.
Every housekeeper can prove the truth of our statements by placing a can of the
“Royal” top down on a hot stove until heated, then remove the cover and smeII—
“AMMONIA.” This test will show that the “Royal” contains AMMONIA; that
Dll. PRICE’S CREAM BAKING POWDER does not contain Ammonia. The
strength of our powder can be proven by the oonsumers’ reliable test,
THE TEST OF THE OVEN.
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder is superior to the “Royal.” It contains
no Ammonia. The “Royal” contains Ammonia. The use of Ammonia in articles of
food I believe to be injurious.— ELIAS H. BARTLEY , B. S., M. D., Chemist of the
Department of Health, Brooklyn, N. Y., May 20, 1884.
