the poetoffice inspector took another
tack. He placed aome marked bills

carrier to deliver. The latter
no person at the number
answering to the name of the

Orosscup and acquitted, the
instructing the jury that un*
believed the letter taken
in good faith to be car-
through the mails and not for
purpose of seeing whether
|j would steal it, it was their
doty to acquit. .It would be inter-

NEW CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
The furore of excitement which
was occasioned by the exaggerated
accounts of the potency of Dr.
Koch's lymph to destroy the germs
of tuberculosis seems iu a fair way
to be paralleled by reason of the an-
nouncement of a new discovery,
made by an eminent French
Scientist, which, it is claimed, will
do ail that Koch's overpraised
remedy failed to accomplish. Dr.
de Backer, tho discoverer of the new
cure for consumption, is a young
Frenchman who has already achieved
eminence by reason of his chemical
researches. Unlike Prof. Koch, who
kept the formula of his lymph a
secret, de Backer conforms to the
ethics of the medical profession and
gives to tho scientific world the com-
ponents and processes employed in
the manufacture of backerino, as he
calls the new remedy.
The basic principle of backerino
is a live beer yeast, which must be
chemically pure and free from all
backterial taint, as it is injected sub-
cutaneously in practice. To keep it
thus pure it is stored in a siphon
with a hypodermic needle attach-
ment, tho needle bein^ used for
piercing the skin over tho vein into
which it is desired to introduce the
fluid. The principle of action is
precisely that which, differently ap-
plied, results in death when the
poison of a rattlesnake is introduced
into the blood of a mammal through
the delicate, needle-like tube of the
reptile's poison fangs. That is tho
live-yeast ferment causes corpuscu-
lar changes immediately upon con
tact witli the blood, which manifest
themselves in an instantaneous in-
flammation which starts around the
wound made by the needle aud
spreads. The chemical chango ef-
fected in the blood is said to mean
the instant death of tho tuberculous
baccilli, upon which the yeast acts
as efficaciously as does carbolic acid
on other forms of germ life.
Before tho last medical congress
held at Home, Dr. do Backer
explained his discovery aud its prin-
ciples very fully. He claims in a
year s proctice to have cured by its
line IK) percent of cases of consump-
tion iu the first stages and Go per
cent of the second stage cases upon
which ho experimented. In cases
which have reached the tertiary,
or last, stage he does not claim
efficacy for backerine.
If Dr. do Backer's discovery will
do one half of what ho claims for it
and of what ho appears lo have de-
monstrated to tho satisfaction of tho
medical savants in attendance upon
tho congress at Home, it is indeed a
godsend to suffering humanity. Its
efficacy should bo tested by Ameri-
can physicians, which may be done
with perfect safety, as tho remedy
is fraught with no danger to any
form of life except tho bacillus tu-
berculosis.
The New York Sun is making a
great fuss about the income tax,
which is a measure intondod to com-
pel wealthy men to contribute their
just sharo to the Rupport of the
government. It describes this tax
as an unjust and an undemocratic
tax, and declares that it is a viola-
tion of tho Chicago platform. Tho
Suu's argument is not very clear.
The platform does not declaro that
tho wealthy men of the country
shall bo exempted from taxation. It
does not hint at such a thing. How
then can a measure which levies a
tax on thoso who are abundantly
ablo to bear it be called a violation
of the democratic platform, or a vi-
olation of any democratic principle !
Wo are of tho opinion that the Sun
lives too far east to properly con-
struo the democratic platform from
the standpoint of the plain, common
people of tho country.
The Times, of Washington, D.
C , in its issue of June 24th has this
to say respecting our Congressman :
"Due of the best pieces of work
done by any chairman of an appro-
priation committee in securing
prompt and satisfactory work on a
long bill, with many paragraphs,
was that accomplished by Chairman
Sayers, of the House Committoe on
Appropriations, yesterday in get-
ting through the deficiency bill.
The measure appropriates nearly
lo,000,000 and was full of a uumber
of small items ; which, in the hands
of a careless manager, might have
been clogged with an endless chain
of amendments or motions to strike
out. As it was, however, not an
amendment was made except three,
which were offered by Judge Sayers
himself and are to go over until to-
moirow Judge Sayers' popularity
and well known desire to be eco-
nomical in appropriations no doubt
bad a large influence in securing
prompt action. Things might not
have gone so smoothly had Colonel
Bfeckenridge had charge of the
bill."

If a story told of Richard Prender-
gast is true, he must Ix: a better law-
yer than he is judge. He took a case
on one occasion, so the tale runs,
that promised well except for one
thing. There was a precedent that
was directly against him.
"That other caw will surely bo
brought up," said his client.
"Never mind," replied the ex judge.
"I can get around that. It's a fool
decision anyway. Who rendered it?''
"You did. "
"I did?"
"Yes. When you were on the
bench."
"Well, that doesn't make any dif
ference," returned the lawyer calm-
ly. "I can beat it anyway."
Aud he did. He went into the
county court and showed that the
previous decision was not according
to law and could not lie held to estab
lish a precedent. He was successful
in practically overruling his own de
eision and won tho caw. Chicago

Making a Change.
The young gent from Boston had
gone west to grow up with the coun
try, and as an incidental to that
growth he had taken a position as
waiter in a Gulch restaurant. Yet
the dignity and culture of the place
of his nativity hedged him about,
and as far as he could he insisted
upon the proper recognition of it.
One day a terror of the plains came
in to feed, and ho spotted the Bos-
tonian.
"Hay, waiter," he began.
"I Ix'g your pardon," interrupted
the Hubster, "I am not waiter, sir
I am a functionary of"
The terror yanked a gun out of his
belt in a manner that ended tho sen-
tence abruptly.
"Oh, you are?" he said, with fine
sarcAsm. "Well, if you ain't back
here in two minutes with a feed fer
me and my pardner, you'll be a de-
functionary. Now, git!" and tho
culture of Boston got.—Detroit Free
Press.
G<hh1 Advice.
Sixty years age the incumbent of a
church in Hull used to lie called Vicar
Bromby. In appearance he was not
unlike Socrates, and people did say
that he was better acquainted with
Seneca than with St. Paul. Just
after the passage of the first reform
bill, in 18.12, he preached a sermon in
which he uttered this wholesome
Soeratic passage: "In these days we
hear a great deal about reform. Let
me give you a piece of advice: The
best reform is to make one person
better. I need not say who that per-
son should l>e " Youth's Companion.

aid.
They Scattered.
Two gentlemen entered one of tho
leading hotels in Boston to take lunch
and at tho same time discuss a little
business of a private nature. Their
orders being served, they found that
their conversation was not likely to
be as private as was desired because
of two overattentive waiters. At
last a bright idea struck one of the
gentlemen, and turning to his friend,
who, by the way, was a physician,
he said:
4 'Wore you out on any of the small-
pox ca/^s lately, doctor?"
"Yes. I had two cases today."
"Were they bad ones?" he was next
asked.
"Well, I should say tfe^y were. By
this time 1 suppose they aro both
dead."
Conversation was carried on with-
out further embarrassment— Boston

urn Marriage.*.
In Belgium it is the custom to give
certifi'3ites of marriages in the form
of little books, \fhich also contain a
summitry of the marriage laws, and
among a mass of other miscellaneous
information directions for the feed-
ing and care of infants. There are
also places for entering the names
aud birthdays of the children of the
marriage, the authorities consider-
ately affording space for 1? such en-

IN0IAN SIGN LANG:JA j-.
t'lidfrvlood hy All l'r;ilri<* iriluM from
the ItritUh Horder to Texan.
Tho sign language is understood
by all tho prairie tribes from the
British border southward to Texas.
Without uttering a word they can
express any idea. James Mooney of
tho bureau of ethnology, to whom
tho writer is indebted for his infor-
mation on this interesting subject.,
has seen an entire; council conducted
by sigTLM, seven languages, including
English, being represented. The
most expert sign talker on the plains
is Lieutenant II. L. Scott. lT. S. A.
The system is surprisingly simple, so
that any intelligent person can ac-
quire its rudiments vith little diffi-
culty.
The uplifted forefinger is a man.
Making a stroke across the forehead
and held up, the forefinger is a whito
man - that is to say. a man who
wears a hat. The hand making the
motion as of combing out She hair is
a woman. A stranger enters the
tepee. One of the chiefs present wag-
gles his hand on his wrist, signifying
vacillation. That means "Who are
you?" If tho newcomer is a Sioux,
ho passes his hand .across his t hroat.
That is the sign of the Sioux tribe,
supposed by some to refer t<> tho
practice of cutting tho throats of
enemies.
The sign of the Cheyennes is the
motion of cutting off a linger, refer-
ring to their practice of chopping off
the fingers of enemies for necklaces.
Tho Tonkowa were formerly canni-
bals, in allusion to which fact they
hold up a finger to represent a man
and then point the finger down the
throat. Different tribes also liavo
pictured symbols. That of the Dela-
wares, some of whom have been
driven out to the Indian Territory, is
a turtle. The eastern tribes revere
the turtle because it brought the
world up from under tho water.
Originally the world was covered
with water, all tho people and ani-
mals being up in tho sky. They
sent messengers down to find land,
but without success. Finally tho
turtle went, dived and brought up a
picco of earth in its mouth, from
which tho dryland grew.—Washing-
ton Star.
a nioo.l Colored ltoni'.
The so called "blood rose" is be-
lieved to be indigenous to a small
area of countn in Jefferson cov.nty,
Fla. One tliii sure, it flourishes
only in that lsJHfide and is said to
have bad a su]2*natural origin near
the center of it«*iresent habitat. The
original bush, *»hich grows on the
Grant homestead, near the Aucella
river, in -the county and state men-
tioned above, is still strong and vig-
orous and ha& leaves of a light glossy
green.
The jietals of the flower curve
slightly inward and are of the exact
color of bright, healthy human blood.
Tho odor of the flower is said to be
pungent and sickening in a marked
degree. One of tne most peculiar
facts concerning the flower is that
the dew which drips from it is a
bright pink color, a Characteristic un-
known in other flowers, no odds ho^
brilliant tho colors.
In Jefferson county it is known as
the "Grant rose," and its origin is one
of the mysteries of nature. Its en-
tire habitat is only in an area five
miles in diameter.—St. Louis Globe-
Democrat.
The Factory Versus tho School.
Compulsory education must KO hand
in hand with child labor laws. The
continuity and the endless repetition
of the factory life stunt both body
and mind. The labor may not be
hard, tho air may be as pure as that
of the schoolroom, but the weariness
of the endless repetition of the me-
chanical action, the continual over
and over of certain physical motions,
giving no opportunity for change and
variety, is very depressing and tends
to duil and stupefy the mind of a
growing child.
The tendency of the school is to
awaken the dormant faculties of tho
mind and stimulate the sluggish pow-
ers of the soul. Th'> tendency of the
factory is to dwarf the soul and re-
duce the human being to the level of
the machine and a dangerous ma-
chine, because brutalized and de-
graded.—Donahoe's Magazine.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S TAVERN.
'i lie I.i ■» ns<* That He and William F. Herry
Took Out In 18X1.
Mr Lincoln was a partner of one
William F. Berry, under tho firm
name of Berry &■ Lincoln, in a cer-
tain mercantile entdfrpriso at New
Salem, on the Sangamon river. The
only tavern in New Salem in tho
early days was kept by James Rut-
ledge. It was a log structure of four
rooms and stood just across the street
from Berry & Lincoln's store. Here
Lincoln boarded, and so conveniently
was it situated that he and Berry, it
is said, shortly before their joint ca-
reer ended, contemplated buying it
out. Certain it is they meant to em-
bark in the tavern business, either
by purchasing the one already there
or by putting up an addition to their
store for tavern purposes, for the
records of Sangamon county show
that on March (i, 1833, they took out
a tavern license of which the follow-
ing is a c< >py:
"()rdored that William F. Berry in
the name of Berry & Lincoln have
license to keep a tavern in New Sa-
lem, to continue 12 months from this
date, and that they pay * I in addition
to the $(5 heretofore paid, as per
treasurer's receipt, and that they bo
allowed the following rates, viz:
Frene a brandy, per half pint... 25
Peach brandy, per half pint l^H
Applo brandy, per half pint 1-
Holland gin, per half pint
Domestic, per half pint l~'-j

Whisky 1~M<>
Breakfast, dinner or supper
Lodging, per night l-'hj
Horse,per night
Single feed l~?-i
Breakfast, dinner or supper for stage, pas-
sengers 37V£
The "bond as required by law,"
which they gave, is couched in tho
following language:
Know all men by theso presents that, we,
William F. Herry, Abraham Lincoln an<l John
Bowling Green, are held and lirnily bound to
the county commissioners of Sangamon
county in the full sum of $300, to which pay-
ment well and truly to be made we bind our-
selves, our heirs, our executors and adminis-
trators firmly by these presents, sealed with
our 6cal and dated this sixth day of March. A.
D., 18X1. Now, the condition of this obligation
is such that, whereas lierry & Lincoln have ob-
tained a license from the county commission-
ers' court to keep a tavern in the town of New
Salem to continue one year, now If the said
Herry & Lincoln shall be of good behavior and
observe all the laws of this state relative to
tavern keepers, then this obligation to be void,
or otherwise remain in force.
