THE ISSUE FOR 1888.
There is now no doubt but thnt the
Republican party will make a descent
upon the solid South in the next nation
al campaign. It realizes that the party
can go no further in the North and that
it will hare all it can do to hold the
States which Blaine carried in 1884. To
enter the next campaign with any hope
of succ ess its leaders hare decided to
rade the mountain districts of Virginia,
the Carolina*, Georgia, Tennessee and
Alabama. They will appeal to the old
“Union man” of these sections and at
tempt to rally the bushwhackers and

These sections are free from the dangers
of negro domination and comparatively
free from the taint of slavery. If any
where the policy of the Republican party
can find lodgment, it must be there, and
the ghost of l’arson Brownlow is to he
arrayed against the spectre of old John
Brown's body. In a few days after the
adjournment of Congress Senator Sher
man will leave on an extended Southern
tour. The object of his visit is of course
in the interest of his candicacy for the
Presidency. There was mailed lately
to the Republican members of the Ten
nessee Legislature a letter from the
Senator advising them in response to an
invitation that he would at an ear'y day in
March in Nashville, deliver a speech on
the political issues of the day. The
Brownlows of that State, who in the last
campaign were for Blaine, are now out
spoken for Sherman. IV is not improba
ble that Senator Sherman will speak
somewhere in North Georgia, and that he
will tackle the iron booms of Chattanoo
ga and Birmingham to see if ihe “New
South" may not mean oventually a Re
publican South.
It does not require a shrewd inspec
tion to discern that the Republican party
will play the “protection” trump card in
Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama. There
are signs of this entering wedge in Vit-
giniaand Carolina, and the Democrats of
the South may wake up some morning
to find that the iron furnaces have
blown up a big protection flame in this
section, snd that the adroit Republican
managers arc trying to forge the old
bonds on “the New South.” Protection
is a plausible cry; but it is just as well
now to understand that it will be the
Republican war cry in the South
the next campaign. It waa tested in the
Blaine canvass two years ago, hut it met
with an ignominious defeat, “Protection
clubs” were organi' cd in several cities
of the South in 1884. Such an assem
blage was in full blast in Augusta andbv
a system of specious and spurious pleas,
had inveigled a number of workingmen
into its ranks. Finally it was discovered
that the Blaine elector from that district
had organized the movement; the plan
was exposed and the movement fell
through.
This time the fight will be commenced
earlier, whether under the banner of
Blaine or Sherman, and the movement
will he larger and more powerful. W
warn those democratic journals which
are preaching protection so persistently
that they are playing into the hands of
the Republican managers for 1888, snd
thmt the fight for the next Presidency
will be a square out issue between high
protection and tariff reform. The linre
will he drawn between the candidacy
and the administration of Pres
ident Cleveland and Secrete
ry Manning, and the principles
of Blaine or Sherman. The last annual
message of President Cleveland to Con

Manning’s report waa even more explicit

Modern Cookino and Mod

pains about the chest and sides,
and sometimes in the back.
They feel dull nnd sleepy; the
mouth has a bad taste, especi
ally in the morning. A sort
of sticky slime collects about
the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is a feeling like a heavy-
load on the stomach; sometimes
a faint, all-gone sensation at
the pit of the stomach which
food does not satisfy. The
eyes are sunken, the hands
and feet become cold and feel
clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it is at
tended with a greenish colored
expectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while, and
sleep docs not seem to afford
any rest. After a time he be

sort of whirling sensation in

iluck and stagnant; the whites

alfsent. The heightened color ofthe cheeks is
gone. The eyes are sunken, and wear a con
stant look of sadness and anxiety. Gray hair
in heads orer which a score and a half of
years have scarcely passed, and deep lines in
faces which should show no trace of age for
years to come, are rather the rule than the
exception. These women, besides suffering
from all the inevitable sorrows which fall to
woman's lot, no matter in what station she
may he placed, have an added intense and
perpetual sorrow all tbeir own. Theirs is a
life of continual suspense and anxiety, which
is almost certain in time to be embittered by
an overwhelming grief.
LACK or MATRONLY BEAUTY.
“The most obtuse observer needs not ask
the cause of this lack of complete matronly
l>eauty among these women, whose budding
days open with the greatest promise of a su
perb physical womanhood. The cause sug
gests itself at once to one who sees the congre
gations of women on the beaches and in the
quiet streets of tl»e sleepy villages. He will
notice occasionally a feeble old man among
them, generally supported on the arm of some
female coin)tanion, who, most likely, carries
on her other arm a chubl»y faced child of
lusty lungs. But in these groups, or any
where around the village, the observer will
look in vain for the presence of males be
tween the tottering years of these relics of the
past and the prattling days of babyhood. It
is the Ashing season, anti there are no • icn or

According to the Danish laws, women
were buried alive for theft, a method of
punishment not unknown in France. In
1331 Marote Duplas was scourged and
subjected tothtecruel death, at Abbeville,
and in 14G0 a woman named Perot to
Mauger, a notorious thief and receiver of
stolen goods was, by order of the provost
of Paris, buried alive in front of the gib
bet in that city. In ancient German his
tory we read of female criminals being
impaled in the mud and, in comparatively
recent years, the remains of several bodies
have been found to prove the truth of
this assertion. In early England a cook
once poisoned fourteen persons. The au

ishment sufficiently severe for her case,
so a law was passed making her crime
punishable by being boiled to death.—

Dloenchxnted Montana Iloja.
Meet of the cowboys looked upon their
coming to Montana to head cattle as tho
mistake of their lives. The glowing
stories of thrilling adventures and sudden
wealth of the cowboys’ life which are
common in tho east are in most cases re-
sponsible for their entering the guild, but
the reality is quite a different matter.
Many of the economical ones have been
enabled by their savings to return to their
eastern homes.
People who have not been through the
bad lands have but a faint conception of
tlie utter desolation and worthlessness ol
a cowboy’s home. He is roasted in sum
mer and frozen in winter. The lands can
never be used for anything but grazing,
and the distances are therefore something
immense. One peculiarity of the country
makes rapid riding a very difficult, not
to say dangerous, undertaking. Tits
earth is so friable that a tiny watercourse
will speedily cut for itself a deep gully,
or “coolie,” as it is called, the depth of
which when filled with snow is entirely
problematical. A horseman who rides
with a cowboy’s recklessness may sud
denly find himself at the bottom of a six
or eight foot coolie, with his horse on top
of him. and no way of getting out—if ho
happens to be still alive—save tunnelling

Catch ins * Pickpocket.
One time I was in the Erie ihetls waiting
for a train, when I heard a terrible noise
coming from one of the emigrant cars, which
apjieared to be full of women. I stood near
the detective, and heard him call up fiis lieu
tenant with, “Pat, there is a pickpocket in
that car, and you can bet he has got away
with the purse of some one of those emi
grants. You go in the further end of the car,
and when you get in lock the door. I’ll go in
this way, and then we’ll inYeatigate.” The in
structions were obeyed. Once in the car,
Mr. M. at once learned that an old German
woman hail lost her last stiver, which she
hail in a well Ailed purse. In a fellow dis
guised as an emigrant, Mr. M. At once recog
nized ihe thief. Placing his hand on the fel
low's shoulder, be said: “Give the woman her
money.” Protestations of innocence fol
lowed, when, poking around under the seat,
Mr. M. found the niusring purse just where
the thief hail thrown it. Picking it up and
handing it to the owner, Mr. M. told her who
hod stolen it and told her that she and her
female companions hail his permission to go
for the offender and do with him anything
they wanted to, so they didn't kill him, and
they did go for him. They pulled his hair,
scratched him and gonned him all over with
saliva until he looked as-if he had been
specially prepared for an anaconda’s swal
lowing. Thus punished he was released from
the cor, when he darted for the New York
side. There were no arrests, no tedious ar
raignment before a police court—Cincinnati

A Clock That n«u All Otli.re.
Another great clock has been added to
the liorological wonders of the world—a
piece of mechanism tliat will vie with the
elaborate marvel of Strasburg cathedral,
and put the processional curiosity of
Berne Tower into the shade. Tlie latest
effort of tho renowned Christian Martin,
of Villingcn, in the Black Forest, is said,
in its way, to surpass anything of tho
kind yet attempted. It is three and one-
half metres high, two and three-quarters
broad, and shows tho seconds, minutes,
quarter hours, hours, days, weeks,
months, the four seasons, the years and
leap years until the last sound of the year
99,91)0 of the Christian era.
Moreover, it tells on Ita face the cor
rect time for various latitudes, together
with the phases of the moon anil a variety
of useful information generally confined
to tho pages of an almanac.
It also contains a vast number of work
ing figures representing the life of man,
the creed of Christendom-and tho ancient
Pagan and Teutonic mythologies. Sixty
soparatv and individualized statuettes
strike the sixty minutes. Death is rep
resented as in Holbein's famous dance, in
tho form of a skeleton. In another part
appear the twelve apostles, the seven
ages of man, modeled after the descrip
tion of Shakespeare, the four seasons, tho
twelve Rigns of the Zodiac, and so on.
During the night time a watchman sal
lies forth and blows the hour upon the
horn; while at sunrise chanticleer ap
pears and crows lustily. The cuckoo
also calls, but only once a year—on the
first day in spring. Besides these figures
there is a whole series of movable figures
in enamel, exhibiting in succession the
Beven days of creation and tho fourteen
stations of tlie cross. At a certain hour
a little sacristan rings a bell in the spire
and kneels down and folds his hands as
if in prayer; and, above all, tho musical
works are said to have a sweet and de
licious, flutelike tone SL James'

There nre atiout fiOO lawyers in the city
of St. Lmis. It would appear, though,
linking over the records of tho courts,
that the legal business for 400,000 people
is done by about 100 men. The lawyers
who have the important cases in court
can easily be counted, and any one walk
ing nloug the streets down town, seeing
whole big buildings apparently fllled with
lawyers, hearing lawyers’ sigus creaking
everywhere, is struck with the question:
“How do all these lawyers make a living)”
There ure in the neighborhood of 300
lawyers in St. Louis who have apparently
no visible means of support. There aro
lawyers who draw large salaries from cor
porations who are conqiaratively un
known; there nre office lawyers whom no
one hears of outside the profession, though
In it they have reputations greater than
the fellows who figure 1u the ncwHpupers.
These men nre the ones who delve among

How much tuition Wong Afoo received
in tlie rudiments of tho language while
under the Lily's motherly care is a prob

were utilized in the green room Woqg is

years of age, has just returned to this
city, his father having written to Mrs.
Langtry to allow him to leave her em

his studies in a far different atmosphere
