John G. Whittier thinks that the
old Indian policy of reservations is no
longer available. “The Western tideoi
immigration," he writes, “is everywhere
weeping over the lines. What is need¬

schools should he more liberally sup¬
ported, but that new ones should be
opened without delay. The matter does
not admit of procrastination.”

Thk English rate of telegraphing is to be
lowered to sixpeuse for an ordinary m s
sage, any distance. The motion ar
ing the re*]action advisable wu>
against the wishes of tbs government,hut
time will undoubtedly make manifest its
wisdom. Cheap telegraphing is a neces¬
sity. The English Government ia com¬
pelled to meet this need by arbitrary
reductions. In this country the demand
is likely to be answered by ingenious in¬
ventions, which of themselves work arev
olutiou in methods of transmission and
expenses of operating. Where improve¬
ments arc desired in order to cheapen the
cost of a system an ounce of private en¬
terprise is worth a ton of government
inertia.
I)a. Wir. James, of H-rvard Univer¬

made dizzy, 131 were made dizzy iu a
very slight degree, and 199 were nor¬

When the new electric lights in the
Big Mountain colliery, near Shenandoah,
were first put in operation a few days
ago, seven dazed and dazzled mules,
which for five years had seen no brighter
luminary than lanterns, turned tail and

workmen toll interesting stories about,
the habits of colliury mules, tlieir tough¬
ness, their contentment, and their total
depravity. Several months ago the
lower levels iu the largest colliery at St.
Glair were flooded, work was stopped,
and all tlio mules were hoisted to the
surface. More than a dozen of them
had passed eleven continuous years iu
the mine, and had apparently forgotten
that there was a world of grass and sun¬
shine, for wheu they were turned out to
pasture they huddled together in evident
alarm, and for a whole day did nothing

Voting Qualifications in the State of
Rhode Island.
The franchise in Rhode Island not
being very well understood by the gen¬
eral public, the following explanation of
the matter is made as brief and sueeiuct
as possible: There are two classes of
voters in Rhode Island, property and
registry voters. Both can vote for all
general officers. Mayors and general city
officers, and Presidential Electors, hut
only property voters can ballot for mem¬
ber's of City Councils in cities, tho idea
governing this latter franchise being that
only property-holders can have an inter¬
est 'in the question of taxation. Qualifi¬
cations of voters are distinct. First,
natives of tlio United States can become
registry voters by a residence of two
years in the State and six months in the
town; or they become property and owning voters by
a residence of one year $134
value of real estate. Second, those born
in foreigu countries must be naturalized,
must live one year in the State, and must
own $134 worth of real estate iu all cases.
They cannot become registry owning voters, nor
voters iu any way, except by real
estate, but when made voters by owning
such real estate, thev vote for officers of
everv kind. It is this naturalized imperative clause,
that iu Rhode Island citizens
must own real estate to the value of
$1)4, which qualifications i-s not generally for known. registry Be¬
sides the
voters, these persons must have their
names duly entered in the registry list
before the end of December of the
preceding year, aud must pay $1 registry
fee before the 10th day of January of the
year iu which they intend to vote. Reg¬
istry voters of American birth can be¬
come property voters by real paying personal. a tax on
$134 worth of property, property, or real
Mon native born, without
or personal, may be taxed for a nominal
sum of $300 personal property, so called,
and thus become property voters.

to the Brooklyn Board of Health,
that slie had used it with success with
lier six children: “Take a slice of fat
bacon—side meat—the older the better;
sew it on a soft piece of flannel; then
saturate it with coal (petroleum) oil.
Placo it on the neck, having the meat
reach from ear to ear. After pounding
several raw onions into a poultice place
enough of the same into the patient’s
stockings to cover the soles of the feet,
and have tho patient put the stockings
on. The poultice must be warm in order
not to chill the gargled patient. with Tho throat
should then be some toma¬
to catsup; strong with red pepper, salt,
and vinegar shaken well together will do.
If the patient is too young to gargle wet
the throat with a'few drops. If vomit¬

drug store with directions should
given. Be sure to cause irritation on
the neck.”

The Duke of Connaught and the Irish*
man.
All classes in Ireland are fond of
grandeur and circumstance, and the es¬
tablishment of a royal residence there
would have a most beneficial effect. i
During tho stay of the Duke of Con¬
naught in the country, he was, as
usual, very affable, and won golden
opinions among rich and poor. I was
told that, one day when he was standing
at the door of a hotel, a tatterdemalion, /
came up to him, and with native assur¬
ance called out:
“ Welcome to Ireland, your Royal
Highness! I hope I see your Highness
well.”
“Quite well. I am much obliged to
you,” replied the Duke.
“ And your royal mother, theQueen?”
continued the man. “ I hope she is also
enjoying good health?”
“ Yes, thank you,” returned the Duke;
v the Queen is very well.”
“I am glad to hear it, your Royal
Highness. And how are your royal
brothers ?”
“ Get along there, fellow !” said one
of the aides-de camp, who happened to
come up at that moment.
“ What are you interfering with me
for, sir?” retorted the tatterdemalion,
much affronted. “ Don’t you see that I
am houlding a conversation with liia

Lentous as a System Renovator.
The way to get the better of a bilious
system without blue pill or quinine is to
take the juice of one, two oi three or
more lemons, as the appetite craves, in
as much ice-water as makes it pleasant
to drink without sugar, before going to
bed. In the morning on rising or at
least half an hour before breakfast, take I
the juice of one lemon in a goblet of
water. This will clear the system of Inv¬
mors alid bile, with mild efficacr, with¬
out any of the weakening effects of calo¬
mel or Congress water. People should
not irritate the stomach by eating lem¬
