There is no sadder sight than that of a young woman who has for years been bearing up bravely and silently under physical tortures that would drive a man to the mad-house. Thousands of women suffer in this way and ask neither aid nor sympathy.

Misery loves company,bu will not stand competition, and when our neighbor in church coughs we immediately follow eui' to see how our cough compares w’ith onr neighbor's. A, B and C do the same thing, each one plum ing himself on the merits of his own cough, and protfy soon the speaker finds himself talking against a coughing match, and ( trying to get in his effective sen tences in the intervale of ailenc° between coughs. This '8 especial ly noticeable in a school, children manifesting as much rivalry in the volume of their coughing as they do in they display <>! sOra toes or cut fingers,’•*.• “In his own family -circle and in the Sunday with wh ; ch he is asso jilted the writer has fre quently directed children to swal low when they feel the impulse to cough, and pretty soon it will leave them, while if they cough it will simply make necessary another and another. This was a theory evolved from his own observation and experience, without medical authority, but the writer is glad lo see the following endorsement of it from the Scientific American: A physician who is oounect°d with an institution in which there are many children, says: “There is nothing mo.s irritable to a cough than coughing. For some time I had been so fully assured of this that I determined for oi e minute at least to lessen the num ber of coughs heard in a certain ward in a ho-pit il of the instution By the promise of rewards and punishment I succeeded in induc ing them simply to hold the r breath when tempted to CuUgli. and in a little while 1 was my sell surprised to see. Low some of the children entirely recovered from the disease. Constant coughing is precisely like scratching a wound on the outside of the body, so long as it is done the wound will not heal. Let a person when tempted to cough draw a long bYeath and hold it until it warms and soothes every air cell, and some benefit will soon be perceived from this process. Th* nitrogen which if thus confined acta as an anodyne to the mucuos membrane, allaying th* desire to cough, and giving the throat and lungs a chance to heal. This is a common sense s-Ugget*- tion. and if Qur ministers would make it occasionally to thei r cough ing' congregations they would se cure ft much more peaceful and pleasing service. Not only is it a geed thing to practice in a crowd, but it is useful as a personal ex periment. If you have a cough try it.

You know that whatever he desired to have —g- vernor, president, anything -—1 sustained. They always called upon me and I responded. But Ido not believe that my suggestions or wishes , ouldnow be sustained by h ■ administra tion. I consented to give up my seat, as I did not want to ap pear exacting. Always wuh good nature I have subscribed to the program. I think that I have been used for a purposfe. “They really did not want me in the cabinet, but wanted my senatorial seat. It was rep resented to me that they could not make up tne cabinet with out me; that questions were coming along that I ought to have control of. “I know that Hanna wanted .the rest of my term, and as he had always been friendly to me, I did not desire to seem diso bliging So I resigned my seat and went into the cabinet Mr. Hanna received the rest of my term, but when he tried for a term for himself he could only get it by a single vote, notwith standing the administration’s support. “It then began, to be said that I was growing forgetful and se nile.

WHAT A NORTHERN PAPER THINKS OF NEGRO SUF FRAGE. The following from the Phila delphia Record sums up the cause of negro suff rage and its outcome in a nut shell, it is in deed a weapon placed in the hand of tho colored brother, which bids fair to be his ruin This from the Record : ‘ Never was a worse political mistake made in this country than when the republican party with the selfish view of securing permanent control in the south ern states, armed the ignorant negro population with the right of suffrage. The result has been to halt negro advancement by making the white population antagonistic as a matter of self preservation. The southern peo ple have been made solidly anti republican. Negro domination has proved intolerable where the experiment has been tried, and a dangerous Moating vote has been added to the electorate instates in which the negro population is.but a small percen tage of the whole. “After hundreds of year! of slavery there should have been, at least for the lifetime of two or three generations, a season of probation to fit the African for the full exercise of the right-* of citizenship. Now the poor ne gro without such an apprentice ship has lo wade in blood to gather in the spoils of office to which he deems himself entitled. “For the race riots in the south there is no seeming help They are deplorable ; they are disgraceful. But our mistaken policy has made them inevita ble. The equality of the two races has been established on paper, but it cannot be main tained in practice. The weaker race must bend to the stronger . This is a law that no act of con gress can repeal ” U. S. Grant, Jr., wants the California legislature to elect him United States senator.

The last seven presidential elections have been carried al ternately, with the regularity of a four-year clock, by each of the two great political parties.
