called by urgent business from my resi
tleiice near the foot of Lake Winnipeg,
British Tsorth America, to Fort Abcr-
crombie, in Dakota Territory, a distance
of some 250 miles.
This call involved no ordinary journey.
It was a weary, exhaustive travel of ten
or iweivc days across an Unbroken prai
rie, without shelter of any kind, without
cue- prooauuuy 01 encountering a single
human being throughout the entire route,
jihu uio annost certainty of being over
taken Dy some of the terrible storms
prevalent at that season. Hut the call
was imperative, and I set about preparing
ior me journey.
1 qe preparations were of a primitive
sort, there being but two methods of
travel admissible at that season the one
by dog-sledges, the other with horses at
lat hed lo light cariolcs. The outfit em
braced a combination of the two by the
selection of a commodious dog-sledge,
with trams in which to place a horse for
myself, and a light canolo for my com
panion, ior attendant l must liave over
that desolate route, ('hooding a stalwart
half-breed, accustomed to the rougli life
oi uie prairies and inured to all manner
of hardship from infancv, we started om
bitterly cold day toward the end of the
month.
In the forward conveyance was placed
provisions for ourselves and provender
Ior the animals, while my own sledge was
comfortably furnished with the huge
bundle of robes and blankets requisite
for our comfort and even safety in camp.
Into tins shoe-like sledge 1 fondly hoped
to creep and glide smoothly to my jour
ney's end. But the intensity of i lie cold
oon disenchanted me of that illusion;
for we had proceeded but a few miles
when I was forced to take lo my feet and
run after the sledge to avoid being frozen
jjven men tne seventy ol Uie cold was
such that, when jumping on the sledge
for a momentary respite, on reaching the
ground again my mood would seem
frozen, the muscles refuse to act, and it
wouia rcouire a snarp trot oi a mile or
more before I could recover usual
warmth.
i'o any one who has not experienced
the atmosphere ol that hyperborean re
gion tne intensity or its coldness can
scarcely he oescnoed. lne sun, being
so far southward, creates but little heat,
and the major part of the time is hidden
behind somber and leaden clouds. Ue
fore you, in every direction, the eye
meets hut an unbroken waste ot snow,
presenting the appearance of an nn
mense sheet slightly raised at both
ends; for the level prairie has the
peculiarity of seemingly being ele
vated in whatever point of the compass
you may turn, leaving an observer in
the depression. Far away, perhaps, as
the eye can reach, a faint line of scat
tered tree-tops may barely be ditin
guished, appearing no higher than sfern
bushes, marking the course of some
prairie-stream crossing your path, or
running parallel with it not a thing of
life or motion within the ransre of vision
between the earth or sky save the con
vevance near vou.
The atmosphere is filled with crystal,
scintillating, minute, almost impercepti
ble particles of snow, drifting on wings
of air, impalpable and fleeting. The
vastness and magnitude of the scene are
overpowering. The immensity of the
dead level is overwhelming. You are
an atom in the gigantic panorama of
frozen Nature about you. Off to the
north rolls a little eddy of loose snow, a
mere puff, not larger than your hand
Another follows: miniature coils circle
about over the smooth surface, and sink
back imperceptibly to the level aerain
Drifts of larger proportions roll over the
expanse until the atmosphere becomes
thick with the frozen particles. The
outlines of the trees are lost and the
range of vision is limited to a few feet.
The wind howls like a raging beast, con
geaung your very neart s blood, it is
the sirocco of the North! Woe to the
luckless wanderer tnen: lhc morning
sun will find a calm and peaceful face
turned up to the sky, -with its life frozen
out, and its lorm bard and unimprcssi-
oie as it carved ironi granite.

camping-places the fuel had been ex
hausted to supply the numberless trains
which had come and gone in the years

tinued travel for an entire day without
stopping.

mouiu oe neaped up until our lire was
Hiimciently large to afford a genial warmth
throughout the night. Our sledges turned
across the head, and blankets spread
upon the mow, formed a bed into which,
with caps and overcoats on, we were at
all times ready to creep.
Thus we journeyed on until the closing
oi tne seven! Ii day brought us to the
crossing of Klin Hiver, a small stream in
Dakota Territory.
The day had been warmer than any
experienced since starting. In the after
noon the snow had melted sufficiently to
wet our moccasins thoroughly, and by
its softness to impede our travel, so that
the distance made had not been so great
as on other days, while the fatigue and
discomfort had been creator.
During the day we had fallen in with a
3Vlr. Wheeler, a gentleman from Montana
with whom I had been previously ac
quainted, a man of huge and burly
physique, capable of immense endurance.
lie was journeying in our direction, hav
ing come up on the mail-sled the dav be
fore, and gladly availed himself of an in
vitation to encamp with us for the night.
it being nearly dark on our arrival at the
river we did not think it necessary to
build a fire, both on account of the
warmth of the evening and the duality
of the fuel, of which we were unable to
hnd any except wet, green elm, hardly
igniiaoie. x. Having eaten a cold sup
per, we set about our preparations lor
the night.
l-l m luver, like all prairie streams, is
narrow and runs in a channel much be
iow ihc sunace or the plain, having, in
consequence, high banks, which in most
cases are precipitous, but on this stream
sloped back w ith only moderate abrupt
ness to the level prairie. It was on the
farther back that we selected our place
of rest for the night, without shelter, of
course, but sufficiently below the level to
be out of the sweep of the wind, as we
thought.
The half-breed and myself had for bed
ding four large buffalo-robes and four
blankets; and our custom was to spread
one roue and a blanket under us and use
the remainder as covering. The amount
under was sufficient, owing to the snow
preventing the cold reaching us from the
earth, and rather increasing the amount
of heat than otherwise. Mr. Wheeler
had two robes and two blankets. We lay
wnnour iect toward the stream, Mr.
heeler placing himself immediately
across tne nead oi our bed it so I may
call it wrapped in his own bedding.
I am thus minute in the description of
our positions and bedding in order to
more thoroughly impress the reader
with the intensity of the storm which followed.
It was about six o'clock in the evening
when, after taking off our wet shoes.
we retired, with overcoats and caps
on, as customary. The sky at that time
exhibited no extraordinary appearance,
ana the temperature, if anything, indi
cated snow. Being fatigued with the
labors of the day I was soon asleep, and
did not awaken until about half-past
nine o clock, when 1 was aroused by the
tossings of Mr. Wheeler in his efforts to
adjust his bedding more comfortably. I
observed that it had grown colder, and
that a sharp wind had sprung up, which
seemed to come down the channel of the
stream instead of across it, as we had an
ticipated in the selection of a camp.
Ilowever, having the guide on the wind
ward side, I thought but little of it, and
was soon asleep.
I awoke again, as near as I can judge,
in about an hour and a half ; this time
from a general sensation of cold which
enveloped me. I found both my com-

not prevent it from entering under the
covenne
It was blowing a perfect gale, and the
nSr was so filled with whirling particles
of snow that we could not distinguish our
animals at the distance of a few yards
From that time forwardSt was impossi
ble to elcen. YYc did everything we rou W
devise to ward off the Cold, aiid the half
breed seemed especially anxious I should
not suffer; covered me with care, and
shielded me as much as poselb'e v.Illi his
own person. Jbit the chill seemed to have
taken complete possession of me. I
could not restrain my desire to shake
and shiver, although knowing that It
augmented the difficulty. For it time we
conversed on the severity of lhc storm and
our error in not hating built a fire, but
gradually relapsed into silence; each
one evidently engaged in endeavoring to
protect himself or moodily brooding over
his own sulif rings.
iJeal physical suffering it had now be
come. I he skin on my arm and innos

let I had no fear or thought even o.
freezing to death. On that point I sim
ply expected lo shiver until morning
would give us light sufficient to build a
lire. The mind, however, was unnatu
rally acute. Thought on every subject
was very vivid and distinct. I remem
ber to have received a better insight of
several subjects which occurred tome
than at any previous time, and was able
to think more rapidly. This was, I suit-
pose, owing to the increased and en
forced vitality necessary to sustain life
and to the stimulated condition ot the
brain under the suffering arising from
the cold. Kvery thought was clear and
distinct. I thought over the business I
was upon and studied the minutest de
tails of it, all with remarkable rapidity.
Occasionally my companion spoke to me
or touched me gently with his rm, but
neither served to break up the general
current of thought.
AH through this outer surface of
thought, however, there ran an under
tow of suffering. I was conscious of
growing colder; my limbs, especially,
felt more chill and heavy. I began also
to experience a peculiar sensation as if
the flesh for the depth of a quarter or half
an inclf was frozen solid and the cou-
gealment gradually extending to the
bone. The bone itself at times felt like
a red-hot bar. 1 noticed, lurther, an in
creased labor in the beating of the heart
and could distinguish the pulsations
quite easily. At every throb 1 could
feel the blood seemingly strike the end
of the veins and arteries in the extremi
ties. This, after a time, produced a slight
dizziness in the head and a laborious
respiration.
As time went on the sensation of sur
face-freezing extended to the trunk of
the body, and my thoughts grew 1
connected, changing frequently from
subject to subject and narrowing down
to my own sunerings. I noticed, fur
thermore, that the half-breed spoke
more frequently than before, and shook
me occasionally, btill 1 had no thoug
of danger, and even laughed at Ilr.
Wheeler exclaiming: " Men, men, I be
lieve 1 am freezing to death!
Ilowever, during this whole period of
two hours or more I could not prevent a
continual shivering and shaking. 1 en
cieavored several times to control my
nerves and remain quietly in one post
tion, but w ithout avail. At the end of
that time I noticed I was becoming
quieter; but, while physically so, my
mind was suffering more. My whole
idea was to get warm. My body was
cold all over frozen in, I felt, to an equal
depth in every place. I clung closer to
my companion in the vain hope of pro
ducing more warmth. Oh, if I could
only get warm again!
I felt I could willingly barter ever
earthly possession to be warm.
thought bitterly of our culpable care
lessuess in not building a fire the even
ing previous, and of the joy it would
be to sit before such blazing fires as
we had on nights now gone, if I could
only get warm again! Was there not
some way in which wc could get to a
fire? Could not the half-breed build one?
If he would only try I would give him
anything; nothing was too dear if I could
only feel warm.
There was a particular room in mv
brother's house, with a large open fire
place in it. If it were only evening, and
we were gathered about a bright, cheer
ful fire, how nice and warm I could get!
One sometimes goes into an hotel sitting-
room in winter, and they have a huge
box-stove made to take in cord-wood
whole. What a genial warmth and heat
there is! What a glow there is over the
entire room! Oh, if I could only get warm
iikc that!
I would be aroused at times out of
thoughts like these by my companion.
who now took to pushing me, and con
stantly warning me against falling ash-en.
Mr. V heeler, also, was continually talk
ing of his freezing, and assured us both
that his ears were already frozen.
lor the tirst tune 1 really became con
scious of the danger we were in. Strange
it had no effect upon me. 1 felt
no alarm at the possibility of being over
taken by death. I was so cold if I could
only get warm again! This was the bur
den of my thought. Yet I was fully con
scious of the danger. I knew, if "death
overtook me, in exactly what shape it
would come. And I knew, furthermore,
that I had already passed through the first
tage, and was nearly through the sec
ond. Sstill, with this well-defined Knowl
edge of what was before me. 1 was to
tally indifferent to the pangs of death.
I only wanted to be warm; I felt that in
some way I must get warm. I thought
over the prospect ot a speedy death in
differently. There was no trouble about
the future at all I did not think of it.
fhe physical suffcrmg and stupor were
too great to admit of it.
Twice before in my life I had been in
momentary expectation of death; and
one experience of the horrors of dissolu
tion was the same as this. That was a
case ot rtangne fever. while perfectly
conscious in the last moments told they
were my last, and asked if I was pre
pared to undergo them I felt the same
sensation as here: if I were only comfort
able I would willingly go. 1 knew a
gentleman once who told me that, when
in a similar situation on the point of
death his only feeling was one of hun
ger; no thought or fear of the future at
all, if only his appetite could be satis
fied. But how different that other expe
rience, when called upon to face death
in full bodily vigor! The terrors of
death which encompassed me are indescribable.
Continuing in the consciousness of
danger, and yet thinking only of my suf-
iering and desire to become warm, after
the lapse of an hour, probabh, I began
to get warm that is. the sensation was
one of warmth and comfort, but was, in
realty, a species of numbness. I felt my
flesh in several places and it produced
a prickby, numb feeling, similar to that
experienced when a limb is asleep. I
was comtortable and happy because
I was warm, and grew indignant
with my companion for his" un
wearied thumps on mv bodv
and the continual answers he required to
his questions: I wanted to he let alone.
Fully conscious that if I went to sleeo I
would never awaken again. I was hit.
fectly willing to go asleep. Even then I
remember thinking of poor travelers, lost
in the snow, being brought in by St.
Bernard dogs.
But I was warm, and laupbed silpntW
at Mr. Wheeler's complaints of freezing.
1 paid no further attention to the shak
ings of my companion or his questions,
but gathered myself up and lay thinking
how comfortable I was. Pretty soon I
began to doze, then to awaken suddenly
when I received a more severe hlow thn
usual. Then I awoke to see the half
breed sitting up and bending efPrlv
over my face, and hear a few muttered
words to Wheeler and then a sense of
comfort and oblivion.
Now I was dead. Sensibility had left
me. It was evident i would suffer no
more. In thirty or forty minutes, an hour
at farthest, my body would die. Then
what?
That I should awaken with a bright fire
before me. and be wrapped In robes and
blankets, seemed the most natural thing
in the world to me. For the matter of
that, it appeared to mc that when I had
fallen asleep I had anticipated just such
a consummation of things, and it was
fully half an hour before I began in the
least to comprehend that anything out of
tbe ordinary channel had occurred. 1 rue,
I knew in a vague and indistinct way
that the half-breed was talking ot Mr.
Wheeler being lost, but the matter seemed
to be no affair of mine, and created ho
surprise. I looked M him chafing my
amis and legs, and simply felt that it
was quite right and natural that it should
be so.
Gradually, however. I regained con
sciousnes eifticicntly to. understand
that, finding nic fast freezing, and im
possible to arouse, he had gone, at the
imminent risk of his own life, some 0
yards further down the stream, and, find-
ing a ury uuu iiiiriiaiiy-ruiti'ii io, miu
built a tire ; had then returned to find me
totally unconscious, and to carry me,
rones and all. to the fire.
Ihe few word's he had addressed to
Mr. Wheeler before leaving me showed
that he, too, Was fast lapsing into the
same state, and when I was carried in
safety to the fire he had returned to find
Mr. Wheeler gone having, evidently.
awakened from his stupor sufficiently to
realize that he was alone, and to wander
oil, half -frenzied, in search of us.
J hese facts being at last impressed
upon my mind by the excited and volu
ble half-breed, I urged him to renew the
search for our lost companion; but he
positively refused. He e plained that,
in doing what he had already done, he
had jeopardized his own life, and had
frozen both hands and feet considerably;
that, while paid to care for me, he had
nothing to do with Mr. Wheeler. lie
urged that, if he left the bank of (he
stream, he was likely to be lost, the
snow at once obliterating all trace
of his tracks. 1 ordered him to go.
gged him to go, but without avail.
An oiler of live golden sovereigns
met with a like refusal. At length I told
him if he would find Mr. Wheeler dead
or alive I would give him a good horse.
For this consideration he went. In
twenty minutes he returned, leading the
unfortunate man, badly frozen, whom he
found running wildly about in a circle on
the prairie.
He was kept from the fire with some
difficulty until his hands, feet and face
were thawed out with water, but did
not recover his mind until six hours
after. From frequent personal observa
tion I am led to believe that every one
who freezes to death upon the prairies
or elsewhere becomes invariably insane
before death.
Having been thoroughly warmed and
recruited by a steaming hot breakfast,
we followed the river to avoid losing our
way and in the afternoon reached a
Hudson Bay Company's post at George
town. Herewewe-e informed that the
temperature had fallen during the pre
vious night to forty-nine degrees below
zero! Wc remained in that hospitable
shelter for two days, during which the
terrific storm raged with unabated fury.
Some dozen Indians and half-breeds per
ished upon the route over which we had
just passed.
After this lapse of time I re
call my thoughts and feelings
with much more distinctness and ac
curacy than I could for some
time immediately subsequent to the
events related. No one who has passed
through great danger realizes fully the
extent of it at once. It requires time to
impress the memory with all its circum
stances. What i. y feelings were at this
unexpected preservation from the dread
ful fate which threatened me it is im
possible to express. . AT. Jiobinson, in

REPUBLICANISM VS. DEMOCRACY.
Address by tlie I'nlon Itepubllcan Con
gressional Committee
The Union Republican Congressional Com
mittee has recently issued an address to the
people of the United States, from which the
following excerpts are biken:
DEMOCRATIC DIPLOMACY.
It Is thirteen years since the Kepuhliran party
was firm called to the administration of Hie Na
tional Government. For more than thirty years
previously the Government bad been almost un
interruptedly under Democratic control. Of that
control there is hardly a memory left at which the
nation should not Itltish. Sccminlr, It was in
spired by but one ambition the bad ambition to
make our foreign policy an ignoble as our home
policy was shameless. Otir intercourse with pow
er weaker than ourselves was spirited enough.
We bullied Austria out of a Hungarian refugee.
We despoiled Mexico of a portion of her terri
tory. We demolished Greytown. We 'hurled
millions in the ears of Spurn as o lure for Cuba,
and the bribe was spurned.
In 1S5I three of our Ministers abroad assembled
at Ostend, and issued a manifesto in which they
declared. "After we sliull have offered Spain a
price for Cuba far beyond its present value, ami
this shall have been refused, then it will be time
to consider the question : Joes Cuba in the pos
session of Spain seriously endanger our internal
iKicc iul the existence of our rherUtli-'t I'nionf
Should this question be answered in the allirma
tive, then, by every law. human and divine, we
Hall be justified in wresting it from Spain, if we
jMjssess the jiower.'1
It adds piquancy lo that extract, to know that
two of the ambassadors who in 1S.M could think
of no way of saving "our cherished I'nion" but
to w rest Cuba from Spain were Pierre Soiile
and John Y. Mason. The third was James I5u-
hnnan.
Unt dnrinsr all that time, and in spiteof all that
gasconade, there was not a single naturalized citi
en who could safely revisit bis birthplace, for
there was no one whose citizenship was not ab
solutely denied by the sovereign under whose di
minion he was born.
No American, native or naturalized, could send
a letter abroad except upon onerous conditions.
We had then formed postal conventions with but
seven foreiim countries.
The lowest rate of postage stipulated in those
conventions was ten cents for a letter wciuhins;
not more than one-half ouuee. The highest rale
or postage on the same letter was thirty cents.
W'e tamely relinquished to Great liritain a por
tion oi our territory in tne rsoriheast: another
and a larger portion in the Northwest. We de
scribed the line agreed upon in the Northwest so
loosely that Great Britain immediately laid claim
to tne lare islands on our side ol it. that in
sulting claim was neither resisted nor admitted.
It was compromised by permitting the claimant
to hold armed possession of one eud of San Juan,
tne most valuaole or those Islands, while we
quietly squatted oil the other end. And while, by
successive concessions, we were adding to the
area of the C anada, we stupidly relinquished to
their products free access to our markets, as the
equivalent of being allowed to send similar prod
ucts from the ortuwest. throngli Canadian
channels, to such precarious markets as thev
could hnd on the other side of the Atlantic.
Such were the achievements of our diplomacy
during inose years oi ucmocratie supremacy.
DEMOCRATIC HOME ltd K.
It has been loudly vaunted that those were
cheap administrations! Compared with the ex
penditures of these times, they were cheap, very
cheap. Compared with their worth to the coun
try, they were probably the most profligate the
world ever saw. Ihev cost the people from
fifty to seventy-live millions per annum. Those
millions maintained for us the empty pageant
we calledgnvemment. There was a
constant succession of Congresses, Presidents,
and courts. The courts of course were useful in
hearing and determining private controversies.
But what is there to show from the labors of the
political departments I It seemed to be the side
end, if not the sole aim, of Government to collect
money enough yearly to pay itself. It did not
always succeed lu doing that, as many loan bills
enacted in times of profound peace still bear
witness.
The address then examines the action of
tlit Democratic party in relation to sundry
works projected by its predecessors, notably
the Cumberland Koaa and the Louisville
Canal, showing how, under Democratic man
agement, the Government had been outra-
geously defrauded :
That party did not ovcrtnrn our land system,
notwithstanding it was a very good one. During
the year 1S41 the system was much improved;
thatmust be confessed. Hut the Democratic
party was not in power thaf year. We ought
also gratvfully to remember that the grants of
land made for educational purposes were not re
pealed. The fact furnishes a striking illustra
tion of sparing mercy, lint the phenomenon is
not diflicalt to explain. Such grants were made
only to States in w hich the lauds were. Such
lands were found for the most part oniy in new
States. The new States were very unanimously
Democratic in politics. The States receiving the
grants could alone administer them, and the
party seems to have felt confident that grants so
administered would not promote the cause of
education more than money had promoted the
cause of commerce. All who are familiar with
the early experiences of the school funds in the
Southern and some of the Western States will
need no other assurance that that confidence was
not misplaced.
The capital was not transplanted. But when
the Democratic party retired from control, in
scarcely a buibling belonging to the Gov
ernment was finished. Perhaps, however, the
party would have avoided that cause of reproach
if thev had earlier formed the design of transfer
ring those buildings to the use of another Gov
ernment. Armies were then maintained. Their ranks
were thin, but they were cumptuonsly officered
ofHcered far too largely by those who had been
educated ill every eoldiery grace eave that of alle
giance. A navy was suffered to exist. Bnt as it was
found a little too loyal to desert its flag, and a
little too gallant to surrender it when the hour of
national peril arrived, that navy was scattered in
remote sea The Presidents of those
half-forgotten years were as diligent, by annual
and special messages, to explain why the Federal
Government could do nothing as the Congresses
were to do nothing. Like the two brothers en
gaged in the temperance canee, one of
whom lectured en the evils of intem
perance while the other furnished a shock
injr example, so Democratic Presidents were
perennially eloquent in expounding the im
potencv of the National Government while
Democratic Congresses were as persistent in illus
tratin it. That Is tne tmrty which, ou
the ISth of September. 1-t0. wrote the fugitive
KUvn et in the statute book. Bv thU act the
t'nited States commanded the Federal rourts to
multiply eon't era mis ion er without lirhk. Bv
that act the United States oflcred f nch commis
i, .ner a clean bounty of five dollars each for
certificates that residents of Massachusetts or of
any other State were fugitives irom Texas or
some other State: and when such a certificate
wns obtained, pledged all its forces to remove
Mich resident to the State wherein he was
claimed: which made that certificate so pur
chased of such hucksters conclusive evidence of
the right to remove, and commanded every tri
bunal within the insulted Statu to be still mid all
its citizens to aid the outrage a sttttnte the very
first victim of which was a free man lrotn l'cnn
sylviiiiia. who, being declared a fugitive by a f
commissioner, was transported to Nirgmiaby
the United States, ai.d, finding no man
there base enough to claim him, he was
allowed to get back at his own expense.

When vou committed the Union to the keeping
of the Kepubliean party it seemed on the verge of
dissolution. Many hoped and some feared it had
received sn incurable wound. We present the
Unioa to yon to-dav ever whit whole. The lie-
public is at peace throughout all her borders
she is at peace with HI the world. Her rightful
authority is disputed nowhere; her opinions are
respected everywhere. She stands in the very
vanguard of sovereign States. We challenge his
tory to produce another instance of a country
raised from such humiliation to such grandeur
In so short a time. And this transformation
has been wrought not merely without the
aid of the Democratic party, bnt in spite of its
utmost hostility.
THE NEEDS or THE HOUR.
You are about to select representatives to a
new Congress. We earnestly entreat you to send
the truest and ablest Republicans you'Lave. But
we entreat you to send Republicans and not
Democrats. You will send one r the other. No
matter what the individual may call himself, or
what disguise he may wear, he will be a Republi
can or a Democrat. There is at present no room
for any other style in our politics. If you do not
mean to retrace' the past, voil will select Republi
cans and not Democrats. If you mean to go for
ward in the future, you will select Republican
and not Democrats.
It is sometime said the missfon of the Repub
lican party is accomplished. If by that no more
is meant than that the party has discharged every
trust heretofore committed to it, we admit it. It
has been thought when one was found faithful
oner a few things, that was good reason for trust
ing him with more things. Can you do better
than be instructed by such an example? Es
pecially since you must employ either the party
which you say has fulfilled every trust, or employ
that only other party which has betrayed every
trust.
The occasion for political effort has not passed.
American progress is not ended. Otht r labors lie
before vou, lighter, perhaps, but not light.
1. oil have lo see that what is done shall not
be undone. Republicanism offers you the best
security against retrogression.
-!. You have lo see that the work of reform goes
forward. Three great labors demand your con-
ideration.
The Fourteenth amendment to the Constitution
is not. vet enforced bv aitorooriate legislation.
Millions of American citizens are denied even the
common law rights of locomotion because they are
black. If such w rongs are to be redressed, the
Republican party alone rau do it.
Among the. oilier subjects demanding set
tlement by a Republican Congress, the com
mittee ins'taiiee that of the currency, the ques
tion of internal commerce, the improvement
of the great natural water-ways across the
continent, the construction of freight railways
lr the transportation of produce to the sea
board, and conclude as follows:
If Ihe National Government is to do anything
to cheapen transportation, only the Republican
1arty can be. relied on to do it. The
leuiiM'raiic parly has foresworn all such
labors. Long ago they determined Ihe
Constitution would not permit the Gov
ernment lo remove an obstruction from a
harbor or a river. It is vain to suppose they w ill
find now authority to build canals or construct
railways. But we nre not left in doubt as to
their present disposition. Two votes given
during the past session one in the Senate on
Mr. WiudotVs amendment to the River and
Harbor bill, and one in the House on McCrnry's
Railway bill w ill prove beyond all doubt that
Ihe Democrats, like the Bourbons, have learned
nothing good, even if they have forgotten any
thing bad.
Upon all these considerations, for all these rea
sons, we think you should send lcpuilicans ami
not Democrats to the next Congress. If you
cherish the deeds of the recent Past, and would
not see them nndone; if you respect the present,
and would not disgrace it ; or if vou have hope of
the future, and would realize that hope, we urge
you to send Republicans and not Democrats to
the next Congress.

A medical correspondent of an English

by those w ho sutler with rheumatism and

cured in a few days by feeding on this

cases are much relieved, especially if the
patient avoids all acids, whether in food
or beverage. The Jerusalem artichoke
has also a similar effect in relieving: rheu

Desirable Qualities in a Pis
A Rotable AVen.
Youxg Stevens, son of the battery man,
has gold galore, but what are millions to
a man so deformed that dogs bark at
him when he goes halting by, and lovely
woman, even when the golden luster of
untold wealth glitters about his head,
faints at sight of him? From his birth a
peculiar wen, growing larger day by day,
has made his face and neck hideous.
Covered with long hair it looked like a
repulsive wild animal clinging to his
head. Stevens hid himself from the gen
eral eye, and moped in loneliness. In
early youth he was betrothed to a beau
tiful 3'oung girl, but as tne wen grew
great his love grew less ; rather his deter
mination- never to incict nis bornble de
formity on a fellow-creature was firmly
formed. The best surgeons of Europe
and America gave him no hope. They
were unanimous in declaring that to re
move the wen was to permanently re
move the patient. But recently he met
a daring practitioner who declared that
it was within the skill of the surgeon to
lop off the excrescence and restore the
atllicted man to a healthy and normal
condition. Stevens listened gratefully.
Do it," said he, " and your reward shall
be $150,000." "With electric knives the
confident cutter went to work, and in a
very brief time had earned his mammoth
fee. The skin beneath the tumor was
smooth and sound, and Stevens is in ex
cellent health. lie may now have his
picture taken, enjoy his wealth, and say
to his Dulcinea, " Wen, oh! wen shall we

Ok all the desirable qualities in a pig a

And it is undoubtedly true that the more

provided he can digest and assimilate it.
the more profitable he will prove. The
next desirable riualit v is, perhaps, quiet
ness of disposition. The blood is derived
from the food, and flesh is derived from
the blood. Animal force is derived from
the transformation of llcsh. The more
of this is used in unnecessary motions
the greater the demand on the stomach.
and the more; food will there be required
merely to sustain the vital functions;
and the more frequently flesh is trans
formed and formed again the tougher
and less palatable it becomes. This
quality, quietness of disposition, com
bined with a small amount tit useless
parts, or offal, has been the aim of sill
modern breeders. Its importance will
readily be perceived if we assume that
5 per cent, ot the food is ordinarily con
sumed to support the vital functions.
mil that the slight additional demand of
only one-sixth more food is required for
the extra offal parts and unnecessary ac
tivity. A coarse, restless animal would
gain, in flesh and fat, in proportion to
the food consumed, only half ns fast as
the quiet, refined animal. To assume
that a rough, coarse, savage, ill-bred
mongrel hog will require one-sixth more

even grow th will also i'tStt't in an even
topping of the plants, which has niilch ir
do with curing and the texture of the
leaf. When only a few plants can be
topped at a time, and some of these are
low and others high, much inconvenience
will be fell in ham'sting, and an Inferior
crop will be, as a rule, the result;
Sometimes an uneven growth Is caused
by transplanting n few hundred at a
time, or even a loss amount. Too many
growers Ikitc but small plant beds from
w hich to transplant, and make the crop a
failure by late and continual transplant
ing and replanting. A -successful grower
of the plant can generally show an even
piece of tobacco, which will give him the
right shade of color, whether it be light
or dark. Early transplanting,or,inother
words, early tobacco, will give, as a rule,
light colored leaf, and late to
bacco, dark leaf and a thicker texture.
The demand now, however, seems likely
to change, as dark lcuf is more inquired
for, nnd if it continues to bo the color in
demand It will have much to do with the
selection of soil and the application of
fertilizers. A'. Y. Sun.

doubt the largest and most complete of its

having freriiieiitlv been effected, as he has
shown us bv nmple evidence, after many emi
nent physician 111 succession had failed. This
success lias had the effect to give, him an im
mense practice tit the World s Dispensary, so
that, in a single month, he probably treats
and cures more cases of inveterate Chronic
Diseases than most physicians, in ordinary
practice, treat in a whole life-time. His prae-
tice has become so large thut he is obliged to
employ four physicians to assist him in the
examination and treatment of cases. And in
the selection of his professional assistants he
has spared no expense to secure men of thor
ough medical education, and who have been
well skilled in the school of experience. Each
devotes his whole time and attention to a
specialty, while Dr. Piekce, who has not only
received degrees from at least two of the tirst
Medical Colleges in the land, the evidence of
which, in the shape of Diplomas, we noticed
hanging in his ollice, but has also the advan
tage of an immense experience, is in constant
consultation with them over the more difficult
cases. Thus the patient has not only the ben-
elit of Dr. Piekce's large experience, but also
that of a Council of Physicians, each skilled 111
his particular specialty. J.esidcs all these as
sistant physicians, in the dispensary depart
ment are also employed a short-hand reporter
to assist in correspondence, and dispensing or
drug clerks, each skilled in his business, that

World's Dispensary, and has heard the heart
felt expressions of gratitude and praise which
they lavishly bestow upon the honorable and

us that the diligent medical devotion, patient
industry and iiiieoniitierable energy that have
enabled Dr. Piekce to achieve so much liave

Tobacco Cult tiro.
The tobacco field is an object of much
solicitude to the irrowcr during the en
tire crowth and development of the
plants. From seed sowing until curing
every part of the labor to be performed
is attended with no little risk, and any
mismanagement may occasion consider
able loss to the crop. This is the case
w ith the erowersof the weed in Connecti
cut, the planters of the South and the
producers on tlie vegas in Cuba. In
from three to four weeks after trans
planting the plants w ill, in a measure,
show what the condition of the field will
be that is, the size of the plants. The
grower should now use every eflort to
secure an even growth, which, of course,
gives the same size of leaves and more
even color. It is a fact that but few of
our growers have given this part of to
bacco culture much attention. The
Cuban planters, however, upon the
vegas or tobacco plantations thoroughly
understand the importance of securing
an even crop. This is important, wheth
er the grower in stripping shades or as
sorts the colors or not. A variety of
colors is too often the peculiar feature
of a crop, and gives it a reputation
coupled w ith low prices. A variety of
colors, however, may be produced by a
variety of causes, such as late trans
planting, harvesting before the tobacco
is ripe and planting upon damp ground,
or by using strong fertilizers. .
As soon as the tobacco field has been
cultivated for the tirst time, and the
plants have reached a point beyond the
ravages of the cut worm, the field w ill
begin to make a good " stand," and the
grower can easily determine w hat plants
need crowding. All such plants should
receive much care, and some kind of
fertilizers strewn around them may cause
a more vigorous growth. iy so doing.
late and backward plants may be hurried
