dy's reference to the m&il known fact that
protection does not inct'f-ase th cost of
goods but lessens it, was wU aU;ned
by comparing the cost of an import'
axe wliich in low tariff days under Dem
ocratic rule was $4, with a better article
made in this country, under protection,
that sells for 73 cents. A fact of this
kind is worth a ton of free trade cant
and pretention.
"Where is Heaven ?" ia the inquiry of a
recent astronomical work. The St. Louis
Globe Democrat answers the question
thus : "After the Cth of November the
answer will be: West of Illinois, cast
of KaDsas, south of Iowa, and north of
Arkansas." Any one looking at the map
of the United States will readily see it
his bounded the state of Missouri, wliich
will go republican en that day and pay
the Bourbons their debt of hatred and
contempt, with the sixteen years com
pound interest which it bears.
In the November Harper's is a Ion?
"short story" (19 pages), called "A Pink
Villa," by Constance Fcnimore Woolson,
which is in pleasing contrast, (from a
healthful, cheerful, optimistic point of
view) with her "Neptune's Shore," in
the October number. No attempted
murder and accomplished suicide will
delight 3Iiss Woolson's morbid admirers
this time, but the sketch of the Ameri
can mumma abroad with her daughter
will entertain them in a more wholesome
way. The tale is beautifully illustrated
with drawings by C. S. Rein heart. That
lovely spot, Sorrento, is the scene of the
story.
A Lynn. 3Iass., shoemaker and a rep
resentative and thoughtful workingman,
who has just returned from a brief trip
to Europe who ever hoard of a
European workingman taking a summer
trip to America? puts the situation
blindly thus: "It is a question of simple
business . Do we want to risk fifty
cents a day? That's all there is to it.
Low wages, besides, means low living.
It means poverty, and it means ignorance;
and these two things pt man at the
foot of the ladder, and there he will stay.
No European workingman, with his free
trade and his low wages, thinks of get
ting up in the worlrt. Who ever saw
workingrnen in Europe filling offices, or
their wires and daughters in society, or
ttr slves rejected and tr-vrei ?
IT IS A FREE TRADE FARTY.
AND THE MEM PALS ' APPEAL" BATS OOD
SEND FREE TRADE SOON.
The Nashville AmeiUxin of yesterday
contains a dreary editorial of more than
a Column in length, in which it professes
great fear of the defeat of the Demo
cratic ticket, and says that "if such a
catastrophe does result it will be due to
the testimony of Henry Watterson, Frank
Hurd, Colonel Morrison, the Memphis
Appeal and other papers, that the Demo
cratic party is a free-trade party."
The liver of our esteemed contempo
rary is evidently out of order, or perhaps
he is hedging, preparing, in case of de
feat which is not in the least probable
to charge it to the failure of the Dem
cratic party at St. Louis to adopt his fa
vorite protection platform and policy,
which, it seems to us, neither differs in
degree or kind from the Republican pol
icy. But, couimi back to the fact of free
trade, it is undeniable that this is
the ultimate tolicy of the demo
cratic party, and the mllls bill is
only a 8tep toward its consummation,
and for that day we prax, "god send
it soon." Memphis Appeal.
EGOS AND COTTON.
Gov. Foraker made seme exceedingly
strong points in his ad dross at New Hav
en, Thursday night. Here is one "nug
get" which is worth the attention of far
mers: " When I was a boy I lived on a farm.
I well remember selling eggs for three
cents a dozen' and paying thirty-five and
thirty-eight cents a yard for cotten cloth
purchased in the markets of the world.
That was under free trade.
"To-day you can purchase all the cot
ton cath you want for eight and ten
cents a yard s;id you sell your eggs for
from twenty-five to forty cents a dozen.
That is protection. That is what protec
tion to home industries and home mar
kets has done for the country. Which

IN A NUTSHELL.
The Republican party believes in such
a revision of the tariff as will further dis
courage the importation of foreign goods.
The Democratic party believes in a re
vision of the tcriff and in a free list that
will encourage the importation of foreign
goods.

SufTer Injft of the Confirnr ! Ujkc1hi-

Mind A C In u New Vork UospitaL
Cured in Fifteen Minute
The writer called on a nuniler of prom
inent physicians and asked them if, among
their patients, they had many who imag
ined they hud diseases which they did not
have. Some very interesting information
was obtained. Tho doctors said it was
found to be a very common trouble, and
tbatj the chief diseases these jeople im
agine they have are cancer, heart disease
and Bright's disease. In tho language of
the profession, the complaint is kuown as
Iiy pochoud riasis.
ft was found that the disease is often
epidemic At the time of Gen. Grant's
sickness and death from cancer of the
throat, and during the illness of tho late
Kaiser Friedrich, hundreds of eoplo with
nothing serious at all the matter with
them culled upon Dr. Shrady, who attend
ed Ocn. Grant, and told him they had cau
cer of tho throat coming 03 and wished
to be treated for it.
One celebrated physician, who made a
special study of the disease, said that it
was worthy of note that in nil these cases
the patient reasons correctly that is, he
draws just inferences from tho error.
Thus the Prince of Bourbon, when ho
supposed himself to bo a plant, reasoned
justly when ho insisted upon being
watered with the rost of the plants every
day. In like manner, the hypochondriac
who supposes himself to be doad reasons
with the same correctness when he
stretches his body and limbs on the bed
or a board and assumes the stillness and
silence of a dead man.
The following Is from the records of
one of tlie Nw Vork hospital's houso
surgeons:
"It was on July C that a man of small
stature, who was found afterwards to be
a shoemaker by trade, who was apparent
ly about 40 years of age, escaped from his
home and was running at largo in the
streets of the city, lacerating his flesh
and beating Lis head against I.I10 sides of
houses. A pumber of citizens managed
to capture hini, and they brought him to
the hospital, followed by a big crowd.
With his arms tied behind him, and in
the greatest agony, his faco bruised and
swollen, his lips torn to pieces and
streaming with blood, ho was ushered
into the hospital by those who had him in
charge. I met them at tho door and in
quired into the case. The man was eager
to tell his own story, but with difficulty
collected words to convoy it. His lan
guage was copious, bnt his agitation so
great that he could hardly utter a Sen
tence, being interrupted by ponstaut
efforts to tear his lips to pieces. Those
with him knew nothing except that they
had prevented him from boating out his
own brains. At length ho conveyed the
information where his distress was, and
upon which his mind was deluded. In
his upper lip he said there was a worm
gnawing his flesh and penetrating into
his body, and unless he rould tear it out
tho wot-in would soon be beyond his reach
and inevitably' destroy him. This was
the cause Of his misery. He was assured
of the possibility of relief, and "with a
smiling countenance I patted him on tho
shoulder Pnd bade him no longer bo un
easy, for I would put out the woyni llis
eves sparkled, and in an' instant he "re
plied, 'Will you? Do it then. Do it,
quick, for God's sake.
"Ho was urged not to despair, for I
was now ready to remove the insect prey
ing upon his flesh. Accordingly, we went
to tho cells of the maniacs. When being
seated he fixed himself for the operation.
I paraded six lancets on the tabii "before
him. By vtoatting a disblay'of 'this and

"With a lancet f he operation was begun.
I pricked his fip with it, which pfade him
flinch a little. lie accordingly leaned
back his head firmly Against he person
who stood behind him, and shut his eya
tightly, and thus fixed he bore the re
peated pricks of the instrument with
steadiness and fortitude. After pinching
his lip with ono hand and wounding it
with the other, I cut off a portion of the
upper lip which he had torn with his
uails ana which' was pendulous. I now
assured him that the operation ?vas. nearly
completed, for tho head of the worm couid
be seen. Tho bystanders cried out: "There
it lsl there it is,' He raised eyes to sec,
but was cautioned to bo still for one min
ute longer, at which he again shut his
eyes. I then gave him a severe pinch,
drew the edge of tho lancet across the
lacerated lip, and exclaiming, 'I've got
him,' opened my Laud and exposed tie

"The man rose from his seat and gazed
at the worm with astonishment beyond
utterance. At length he spoke ana re
quested me to preserve it, for, he observed
with tranquillity, his friends had said Le
was crazy,' but (his would be an evidence
to the contrary.
"The result of this deceptive operation
was a perfect cure, and this remarkable
change was effected in less than fifteen
minutes after the patient entered the
hospital. "
The best doctors eay that tlie causes
the disease lie in conditions usucily pb
ecure. which lower tho tone of the c?n
crcl health or depress the vitality of "lLo
brain, either by physical wecr cr mental
worry. Disappointment, tad habitS,
want of proper mental occupation, often
cause the trouble. The treatment con
sists in measures to improve the general
health, especially a foil diet, carefully
selected; hydro-therapeutics, massive.
gymnastics, horseback riding, walking. I
rowing, abundant and tgrecable exercise
in tho open air, and the management of
the patient's surroundings so as to lighten
the mind and relieve from worry, perhaps
by travel or sea voyage.
Argument is commonly worse than nse- '
less. but there should boa decided im
pression given that the generally morbid
tate is due to iU health. The risk of
suicide is so small that restriction of lih.

A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
The Story Told of Two t ui ailUn Trnpix-r)
A Nu4'iuv i:cttc.
Once or twice ho showed a anions 10
luctance about allowing a mini t npprctu-h
him suddenly from behind. Altogether
his actions were so odd that I felt soino
curiosity to loam his history. It tinned
out that ho had been through a rat her 11 n
canny experience tho winter before. Ho
and another man had gone into a reruoto
basin, or inclosed valley, in the heart of
the mount ains, where ganio was very
plentiful; indeed, it was no abundant that
they decided to pass tho winter thero.
Accordingly they put up a log cabin, work
ing hard, and merely killing e nough meat
for their immediate uso. Just as it was
finished winter set in with tremendous
snowstorms. Going out to hunt, in tho
first lull, they found, to their consterna
tion, that every head of gamo hud left tho
valley. Not an animal was to bo found
therein; they hud abandoned it for their
winter haunts. Tho outlook for the two
adventurers was appalling. They were
afraid of trying to break out through tho
deep snow drifts, und starvation stared
them in tho face if they staid. Tho mail
that I met had his dog wit h him. They
put themselves on very short commons,
so as to uso up their Hour mi Klowly as
possible, and hunted unweuriedly, but
saw nothing.
Soon a violent quarrel broUo out bo
tween them. The other man, a tierce,
sullen fellow, insisted that t he do;,' : l.ould
be killed, but tho owner wuu o.veecdiiigly
attached to it, and refused. Tor a couple
of weeks they spoko no words to each
other, though cooped in the little narrow
pen of logs. Then ono night the owner
of tho dog was wakened by the niiiuiul
crying out; tho other man had tried to
kill it with his knife, but failed- Tho
provisions were now almost exhrnisled,
and tho two men wero glaring lit each
other with tho rao of maddened, raven
ing hunger. Neither dared to sleep, for
fear that tho other would kill him. Then
tho one who owned tho dog at lust spoke,
and projosed that, to give each a rhnnco
for his life, they should separate. Ho
would take hulf of tho handf ul of Hour
that was left and start off to try to get
home; tho other should stay where ho
was, and if ho tried to follow the first he
was wurned that ho would ho bhot with
out mercy. A like fate was to bo tho
portion of J he wanderer if driven to re
turn to the hut. Tho arrangement was
agreed to and tho two men separated,
neither daring to turn his back w hile they
were within riflo shot of each other.
For two days tho one who went efT
toiled on with weary weakness through
the snow elrifts. Iato on tho second
afternoon, as ho looked hack from 11 high
ridge, lie saw in the far elistauco a black
speck against tho nnow, coming along on
his trail. His companion was dogging
his footsteps. Immediately lie followed
his own trail baek a liitlo und iaid in am
bush. ' At dusk his companion cun'q
stealthily up, riflo in hand, peering rn
tiously idiead, his elraivn i'ueo showing
the starved, eager ferocity of tho wild
beast, and the man ho was hunting F.hot
him down exactly as if ho had boon ono.
Leaving tho btnly where it fell, tho wan
derer continued his journey, t he dog stag

evening ho baked his hist rake :iud divide d

his belt drawn still tighter roun'el liis skel
