Special to Enquirer-Sun. |
Washington, February 20.—Mr.
Jack Wharton, U. S. Marshal for
Louisiana, was before the Potter com
mittee to-day, and testified that sew
ing machine circulars were sent, not
merely for the purpose of discovering
repeaters, or those who had registered
more than once. Against those per
sons not found at their address in the
registration book warrants wore is
sued. He could not say if Henator
Kellogg forged the protest from Rich
land parish, but produced a letter
written by Jewett, Secretary of the
Republican Executive Committee of
Louisiana, in 187(1 to Kellogg, that
unless Richardson, Pitkin, and oth
ers of his friends were taken good
care of he should publish the fact of
the forgery. He was a Republican,
and had been a supporter of the Pack
ard government. During the time
the Returning Board of 1870 was sit
ting he was in New Orleans, hut he
never attended any of their sessions.
There was a great deal of scandal
afloat at that time about public men,
gnd he heard among other things
that Wells was trying to make money
out of his position. “It is not my
charge,” said Wharton, in explana
tion. "The charge was that the
Democrats hud men down there with
money, and that they were making
an offer to buy, and it was believed
that if matters could be arranged
Gov. Wells was ready to treat.”
To-morrow Wharton will be cross-
examined by Gen. Butler.

New York, February 19.—Cap
tain Blair, of the Fifteenth infantry,
to-dny brought his trlnl on the charge
of bigamy to an abrupt termination
by pleading guilty. In Hie plea he
does not admit that at the time of his
marriage he had been legally married
in Scotland, and claims he is, there

does not deny acting solely upon his
conviction in so grave a matter. He

consequences to others that lie is

The Smith murder trial was

To the South a body of flllibusters
from St. Thomas had made a landing

noRAL EFFECT OK NOVEL READING
Mr. Trollope’s Published View* I'pota
the Msrsl TeachIuk* of Novelists.
From the Spectator.]
Mr. Trollope writes an essay In
the new number of the Xinciicnth
Century to show how good the moral
teaching of our most important re
cent novel-writers is, and, of course,
how much more potent it is, when
it is good, than moral teaching of
the more abstract kind, tin the last
point few will differ from him. Al
least It takes a man of much greater
power of character, In proportion,
to produce a great effect by moral
teaching presented merely in that
light, than it does to produce a great
effect by depicting a character or a
story in which, indirectly a great
moral lesson may bo conveyed. Sir
AY alter Scott once wrote two or three
sermons for a bashful young Scotch
man, but it is pretty certain tliut
those sermons never produced half
the moral effect of his story of “The
Heart of Midlothian." No one who
knows what literary genius is, can
doubt fora moment thin those who
have tlie gift of inculcating a true
impression of the comparative no
bility and ignobility of different
forms of character, by a clour and
powerful picture of the two, can ex
ercise by that means a far greater
iufiuencenn the imagination and on
the heart of those to whom they speak,
than call be produced by u writer of no
more than equal force of character in
a more direct way. We do not admit
that for men of the highest power,
men of truly spiritual genius, tlie di
rect mode of influence may not be tlie
more effectual. Dr. Newman’s ser
mons, with their wonderful realism
and delicacy of moral criticism, have
doubtless produced profounder effects
on the characters of a few, than even
the noblest novels bn tlie characters
of the many. But no doubt, other
things lieing equal, the indirect pic
ture, when truly drawn, Ih more
fruitful in bringing men to see what
true nobleness and ignobleness are,
than direct moral teaching. Still we
are not satisfied with Mr. Trollope's
eulogy on the moral teaching of re
cent novelists, especially in the form
in which lie exemplifies It by the
writings of the two great novelists of
the last generation, Dickens and
Thackeray. Mr. T.ollope’s test is es
sentially a defective one. Brielly, it
is ns follows;
Can uny one, by search through tho
works of the five writers whoso
names we have specially mentioned
—Mias Edgeworth, Miss Austen,
Scott, Dickens and Thackeray—find
a scene, a passage, or a word that
could teach a girl to be immodest or u
man to he dishonest? When men in
their pages have been described as
dishonest, or women ns immodest,
has not the reader, in every instance,
been deterred by tlie example
and its results? It is nor for
the novelist to say simply
and boldly: "Because you lied here,
or were heartless there; because you,
Lydia Bennett, forgot the lessons of
your honest home, or-you, Earl Lei
cester, were fabiewtrougli your ambi
tion, or you, Beatrix, loved too well
the glitter of the world, therefore you
rln” * V'—" scourgeseitlier
moved theiiewminlstersana replaced SSreor hereafter," but it is for him
rmerly to ' nIi
show, us he carries on his tale, that
his Lydia, or Ids Leicester, or ids
Beatrix, will lie dishonored in the
estimation or all by his or her vices.
Let a woman he drawn, clever, beau
tiful, attractive, so us to make men i
love Iter and women almost envy her;
nnd let her be made also heartless, |
unfendnine, ambitious of evil gran- [
deur, as was Beatrix—wliat danger is
there not in suelt a diameter 1 To
the novelist who shall bundle it, what i
peril of doing harm 1 Blit if at last
it has been so handled that every girl !
who reads of Beatrix shall say, "Oh,
not like that! let me not he like that!”
and that every youth shall say, “Let
me not have such a one as that to
press to my bosom—anything rather
than that!” then will not the novel
ist have preached his sermon as per
haps no other preacher can preach it?
Now, we demur very strongly to
the concluding sentence. We can
admit that something like the im
pression described may luivo been
made on ordinary girls nnd ordinary
young men, and Htill we should ear
nestly dispute that, even if it weresn.
The right conclusion Is, as Mr. Trol
lope says, that ill that ease "the nov
elist will have preached his sermon
as perhaps no other preacher can
preach It.” For tlie novelist who
merely succeeds in making evil look
unlovely, even though it he decked
out with very attractive adjuncts,
may have done but half his work as
a moralist—aod we are now speaking
of tlie novelist as Mr. Trollope speaks
of him, as a moralist, and in no other
light—and left the more important
half still undone. lie may have
dopetted the impression that unlovely
as evil is, it is for many people a soft
of fate—a product of fatal circumstan
ces, from the web of which it is as
impossible to escape as fora IIv, once
fairly entangled, to escape from a
spider's web. And we are strongly
disposed to tlilnk tliut Ibis de
pressing conviction is tlie one almost
always left by Mr. Thackeray's most
brilliant pictures of moral deteriora
tion. Certainly as regards Beatrix,
in Thackeray’s “Esmond," this is
the impression very strongly left
upon us; nor should we be at till dis
posed to say that the general moral
impression of his finest pictures,
either in “Vanity Fair" or "l’enden-
nis," was less enervating. There is
but one figure in all Thackeray's
works which gives the impression of
a diameter ami a will raised in any
clearway above the pressure of cir
cumstances, and that is the figure of
George Woffington, For the most
t ... part, Thackeray's characters, good

“I have Just as much room, burn
just as many lights, and keep just as
many clerks as during (lie era of high
prices and big profits,” said a Detroit
merchant the other day. “Rent is
down and salaries are down, but un
til I can discharge half my forco I
slinll have to cry hard times.”
"And when will that time come ?”
“Never. Look around at the crowd
in the store. Here are fifteen lady
customers, distributed from the silk
counter back to the calico. It looks
like a busy day, but I will take a $5
hill for ail the money these fifteen
ladles pay over tlie counters. It is a
line day. They are out to get the
sunshine nnd kill time. 1 1 must keep
a force of at least seven clerks to pull
down goods for these non-paying
visitors, and perhaps seven more to
wait upon customers who don't know
wliat they want. If they did know
three clerks could do the work of
seven or eight.”
“How many people do you meet in

Wti do not believe any businessman
will dispute the assertion that one-

ple exercised the simplest rules of
common sense in purchasing goods,
but people never will.
Now then, suppose Mrs. A. wants
a Brussels carpet. She goes to a car
pet store, Is shown scores of patterns,
asks a thousand questions, and buys
blind-folded at last. She forgets or
docs not realize the fact that she
knows nothing of the goods in tlie
first place. How can she? The car
pet man does know all ubout it—ho
makes it a business and a study, lie
can select colors better suited for the
room and furniture than she can, and
would lie glad to. But she won’t let
him. She will bother around for
weeks, and likely he dissatisfied nt
lust. The common sense way would
be to say to the dealer:
“Go and measure my room for a
Brussels carpet. I want tlie prevail
ing colors, so and so. 1 want to pay
about so much per yurd. I want n
grade of goods you can warrant."
The dealer, thus placed on Ills honor
and good taste, would give her tlie
best carpet she ever had in her house.
Last full aearrfugo halted before a
Woodward avenue dry goods store
and a lady and gentleman entered.
The gentleman said to the chief
clerk :
“My wife w'ants twenty yards of

In seven minutes tho Hilk was cut,
wrapped and paid for, and it is the
best piece of goods the lady ever had.
Had she spent u week al the stores
she might not have done so well—
certainly no better. No lady need
fear to buy goods the same way. The
merchant selects only wliat he can
warrant, and if there is a big end to
the bargain she gets it. Home men
will enter a butcher shop and paw
over a hundred pounds of meat to
buy two. Others will look in and
say :
"Jones, I want two pounds of best
sirloin—send it up."
The butciiersends sirloin and noth
ing else, hut the man who selects a
lleek piece will not be told by the
butcher tliut it is not sirloin unless
asked.
There are men who continually
complain of having been cheated in
clothing. They cheat themselves.
They paw over holts of cloth with
out the least knowledge of fust colors
and fast shades, and finding some
thing to suit, they bargain with the
tailor. Tho tailor lias not been
asked if the goods are sponged ami
the colors fast, and he does not deem
it his duty to interfere with the
choice of a customer. Other men
enter a shop and say :
“I want a suit of blue, Indigo color,
good weight, and English or French
make. Take my measure and select
the goods yourself.”
If the tailor wants that man’s cus
tom the cloth and the making will
he honest and first-class. It will be
tlie same whatever you buy. The
tradesman who has neither honor or
honesty would not be long in trade.
Ninety-nine out of a hundred will
select better goods than customers
can, in quarter of the time, and with
eminent satisfaction to all parties.—

THE GENUINE
DR. C. McLANE’S
Celebrated American
WORM SPECIFIC
OR
YERM|FUGE.
SYMPTOMS OF WORMS.
T HE countenance is pate and lead*
en-colored, with occasional flushes,
or a circumscribed spot on one or both
checks; the eyes become dull; the
pupils dilate; an azure semicircle
runs along tlie lower cyc-Iid; the
nose is irritated, swells, ant! sometimes
bleeds; a swelling of tlie upper lip;
occasional headache, with humming
or throbbing of the cars; an unusual
secretion of saliva; slimy or furred
longue ; breath very foul, particularly
in the morning; appetite variable,
sometimes voracious, with a gnawing
sensation of the stomach, at others,
entirely gone; fleeting pains in the
stomach; occasional nausea and vom
iting ; violent pains throughout the
abdomen ; bowels irregular, at times
costive; stools slimy, not unfrequent-
ly tinged with blood; belly swollen
and hard ; urine turbid ; respiration
occasionally difficult, and accompa
nied by hiccough; cough sometimes
dry and convulsive; uneasy and dis
turbed sleep, with grinding of the
teeth ; temper variable, but generally
irritable, &c.
Whenever the above symptoms
are found to exist,
DR. C. McLANE'S VERMIFUGE
will certainly effect a cure.
IT DOES NOT CONTAIN MERCURY
in any form ; it is an innocent prepa
ration, not capable of doing the slightest
injury to the most tender inf nit.
The genuine Dr. Mr Ease's Ver
mifuge bears the signatures of C.
McT.ank and Fleming Bros, on the
wrapper. —:c—
DR. C. McLANE'S
LIVER PILLS
are not rccommcmled as a remedy ‘‘for
all the ills that ilesh is heir to,” but iu
affections of*the liver, and in all bilious
Complaints, Dyspepsia and Sick Head
ache, or diseases of that character, they
stand without a rival.
AGUE AND FEVER.
No better cathartic can be used prepor-
atory to, or after taking Quinine.
As a simple purgative they are un
equaled.
BEWARE OF IMITATIONS.
The genuine arc never sugar coated.
Each box has a red wax seal on the
lid, with the impression Dr. McLane's
Liver Pills.
Each wrapper bears the signatures of
C. McLane and Fleming 13kos.
Insist upon having the genuine I)r.
C. McLane’s Liver Pills, prepared by
Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the
market being full of imitations of the
name McLane, spelled differently but
same pronunciation.
