The Want of a Sellable Diuretic.
Which, while acting as a stimulent of the kid-
neys, neither excites nor Irj-ltatei them, was
long since supplied by Hosteller's Stomach
Hitters. This line mediiiine exerts the requis-
ite degree ot stimulation upon these organs,
without producing irritation, and is, therefore,
far better adapted for the purpose than unmedi-
tated excitants often resorted to, Dyspepsia,
fever and ague, and kindred diseases, are all
cured by it.

Songs Never Sung-
"How does that verse run ? Something [like
this, isn't It.
''J here are who touch the magic siring,
And noisy fame is proud to win tlieiu ;
Alas ! for those wh>» never sing,
Hut die with all their music in them.' ''
'Yes, that's beautiful, pathetic and true,"
said your representee. "The poet alludes to
people who arc somehow suppressed, and never
| get their full allowance of joy and air. Which
reminds me of a fetter shown me the other day
by Hlscoxit Co.. of.New York, signed by Mr. E.
C. Williams, of Chapman, Snyder (Jo.. Pa., a
imminent business man of that place. II
writes:
'I bare suffered *ivlth asftima for over forty
years, and had a terrible attack In December and
.laanary, 1882. 1 hardly know what promoted
me to take Pauksk's TOtfie. I dU so, and the
first day I took four doses The effect astonished
me. That night 1 slept as if nothing was the
matter with me, and have ever since. 1 have
had colds since, but no asthma. My breathing
is now as perfect as if I had never known that
disease. JI you know of a ny one who has asthma
tell him in my name that I'aiik Kit's Tonic will
cure it.—even" afier forty years.' There was a
man who escaped the l ate of those whom the poet
laments.

A Western Duck Story,
From the Carson (Nsv.) Appeal.
As the storm somewhat subsid-
ed last Monday, Quin Fletcher
thought he would go out and see
if he coiltd kill a few of the ducks
that, immediately after a snow
storm, are found abundantly in the
spring holes in different parts of
the valley, Mounting his snow-
shoes, he proceeded to the vicin-
ity of the Hot Springs. As he
was slipping along over five or six
eet of snow, his eye on the look-
out for game, he heard the distinct
quack of a duck nearly beneath
lis feet. Surprised, he ran his
snow-shoe pole into what appear-
ed to be a cave. Immediately a
big mallard flew out, which was
quickly knocked endwise with his
pole. Another big duck then
came, which he caught in his hand
and wrung its neck. Then another
popped out, which met the same
fate, then another, until 38 ducks
lay dead at the hunter'^ feet. Be
ing curious to know what sort of
place he had struck, Fletcher
made a large opening and found
that he was just above a large
spring hole about 12 feet in diam
eter. The ducks during the storm
had taken refuge there, it being
protected by a bank on the wind
ward side1 The violent wind had
drifted snow from the bank over
the pool, forming at first a shel
and at last a complete roof, anc
the birds were securely imprison-
ed. If Mr. Fletcher had not dis-
covered their retreat they woulc
probably have starved to death
belore the sun released them from
their curious confinement.
It is noted with justice that con-
gress is going on somewhat too
slowly. The country would like
to see the real business of the ses-
sion developed. The appropria
tion bills are the most impor
tant, and these, it is hoped,
will justify the promises o
economy which the Demo-
crats have made to the peo<
pie. The tariff bill might as wel
take its chances now as later.
One object it proposes is so im-
portant and imperative that if the
reducing custom duties fails those
who oppose it will surely not fail
to offer some other scheme for re-
ducing taxation. It can hardly
be possible that any legislator who
has the smallest claim to a com-
prehension of the financial situa-
tion will refuse to reduce the rev-
enue by some method. As there
is not the remotest chance that
the tax on whiskey and tobacco
will be removed we feel much in-
terest to see what other plan than
a reduction of the customs reve-
nues will be offered.—St. Louis
Republican.

Some are living apart from their
husbands; some are divorced;
some are now the wives of drunk-

ragged edge of society, endeavor-

their children, and these are the
least miserable; some tread the
narrow Hne beyond the boundary
of which Vies the mysterious land

Dallas Mercury: The colorec
Republicans of Dallas held a meet
ing on Monday night with closed
doors. The principal speaker was
Richard Nelson, editor of the Gal*
veston Spectator. He reminded
the colored voters that there are
60,000 Republican Votes in the
State, of whom 43,400 are colored,
and then asked if they were get-
ting their political rights. He said
the white Republicans in Texas
were such from mercenary mo-
tives, and not from principle, and |
it was time they were sat down
upon. He said that the colored
man had always received morie
consideration at the hands of the
white Democrats than at the hands
of the white Republicans.

Col. Robert G. Ingersoll pays
the following merited tribute to
womanhood: "I tell you women
are more faithful than men. I tell
you, as a rule, women are more
faithful than men—ten times more
faithful than men. I never saw a
man pursue his wife into the very
ditch and dust of degredation and
take her in his arms. I never saw
a man stand at the shore where she
had been morally wrecked wait-
ing for the waves to bring back
even her corpse to his arms; but I
have seen women with their white
arms lift men from the mire of de-
gradation and hold him to her
bosom as though he were an an-
gel."
An Arab woman, when left a
widow, mourns her husband, but
often marries again. The night
before her second marriage she
pays a visit to her first husband's
grave. There she kneels and prays
him not to be offended. As, how-
ever, she feels he may be, she
brings with her a donkey laden
with two goat skins filled with wa-
ter. The prayer ended, she pours
the water on the grave to keep
him cool under the circumstances
about to take place, and, having
well saturated him, departs.
