Plain Facts Plainly Spoken.
At ono time a discussion ol the secret vice waa en
tirely a\oltlcil by the profession , and uicdtcalnorka
but n ( civ J cars ago uould hardly mention It
To day the phjslclvi Is of a different opinion ; ho Is
anaro that It la his dutj Jlsagrecablo though It
maybe to handle this matter without Riotcsand
speak plainly about It ; and Intelligent parents and
guardians will thank him for doing BO.
The results attending this dcatructUolcc were or-
mcrly not understood , or not proper ! ) estimated ; and
no Importance belliattached ) to a subject which b }
IU nature docs not invlla close lu\ostlgatlonlt was
willingly ignored.
The habit Is generally contracted by the j oune
whllo attending school , older companions through
their example , ma } hi responsible- It , or It may be
acquired through accident. The excitement once ex
perienced , the practice will be repeated again oud
again , until at last the habit becomes flnu and com
pletclj onel.-ucs the victim. Mental and nervous al
SUctions are usually the prlmarj results of self abuse.
Among the Injurious effects may ba mentioned lassi
tude , dejection or Irrasciblllty of temper and Central
debility. The boy seeks seclusion , and rarely joins
In the sports of his companions. If ho bo a j oung
man he will bo little found In company with the other

emissions and eruptions on the face , etc. , ore also

If the practice la \ lolently persisted In , moro serious
disturbances take place. Great palpitation ol the
heart , or epileptic convulsions , are experienced , and
the sufferer may fall Into a complete state of Idiocy before

To all these engaged In this dangerous , practice , I

Ufthlt Hunt Near Milwaukee.
Peck's Sun.
Ma told mo to try and think up some
thing that would sort of wnko up pa. or
ho would relapse into n sUto of melan
cholic and have to htro a doctor. I told
my chum about pa'o case , and ho said it
was too bad to sco a man suffer that way ,
and wo must do something to nave his
lifo. So wo agreed to take pa out rabbit
hunting. 1 asked pa if ho didn't want to
go with us. and ho jumped right up and
yelled , and said it would tickle him half
to death to go. I told him where there
was a place about four miles out of town
where there was dead loads of rabbits ,
but the man that owned the farm dro\o
everybody off. P/v said there couldn't ' no
man drive him oil' , and for us to come on.
Well , you'd a dido. Pft wasn't afraid of
anybody , until the man hollered to him
to git. You BOO , wo wont out to the
farm and stationed pa by a fence , and my
chum and mo went on the other side of n
piece of woods to scare rabbits toward pa.
Then wo wont up to the farm house ,
where n inin lived that wo know , and told
him wo wanted to scare n ninn out of his
boots , and ho said all right , go ahead. So
wo borrowed some farmer's clothes , and
old plug hats , and went around behind
the barn , and ycllnd to pa to got off that
farm. PA sain for us to go to the bad
nhco. Ilo said ho came out to hunt rab
bits and by gosh ho was going to hunt
rabbits. Thou my chum and mo started
toward pa , wading through the snow , and
pa thought wo were grown men , seven
feet high. "When wo got about twenty
rods from pa wo told him to 'git , ' and
ho was going to argue with us , when wo
pulled up our guns and fired both barrels
at him. Wo had blank cartridges , but
pa thought ho felt shot striking him
everywhere , and ho started for n barbed
wire fence , and wo loaded our guns again
und fired just as pi got on the fence , and
lie yelled murder. You know these
barbed > \ ire fences , don't you. The barba
catch on your panta and hang on. Well ,
[ > a got caught by the pants , and couldn't
, 'ot over , and wo kept firing , and he
Iroppod his gun in the snow , and tried
to tear the fence down , and ho kept yel
ling , 'For God's sake , gentlemen , spare
ny life. 1 don't want any of your rab
bits. ' 1 got to laughing so I couldn't
shoot and I laid down in the snow bank ,
and my chum kept ihooting. Pa finally
; ot oil' the fence mid burrowed in a snow
> ank , and hold up a piece of his shirt
which the feuco tore oil'for a Hag of truce ,
and wo quit , and ho stuck up his head
and saw mo laying there on the snow ,
ind pa thought his gun had gene off and
tilled ono of the farmers , and my chum
iaid , 'Groat heavings , you have killed
iim. ' At that pa grabbed his gun and
run for the road and started for town ,
ind that's where the minister overtook
iim. Along toward night mo and my
chum came homo with four rabbits , and
wo told pa ho was a pretty rabbit hunter
: o leave before the rabbit got to run-
nng and that wo looked all around for

Gapt. Blnry miller Talks ,
New Orleans I'icnj uno.
Mrs. Miller is a trim , bonny little wo
man , whom nobody would credit with
years enough to bo the mother , as she is ,
of a family of four children , two of whom
are almost grown.
" 1 como of a steamboat family , " said
the lady ; "my father was a steamboat-
man , and after I married Capt. Miller
that was seventeen years ago I of course
apent moat of my time on the river. Wo
tiavo a beautiful homo at LouUvillo , and
my little ones are all there now , but for
the past four yeara I have boon living
mainly on a boat. My husband used to
do nothing but pilot , and 1 spent most
of my time in the pilot hous6and learned
to manage a boat and how to navigate
certain rivers in spite of myself. There
is no reason why a woman should not
know [ how to manage a boat as well as a
Bowing mrchino. "
"Women often lack confidence in their
own ability , " hazarded the roporthor.
She atared a bit , and then : "Yes , that
is truo. They know what to do , but
prefer to gland by and toll some man how
to do it for them. But as I was Baying ,
I learned to handle a boat as well as any
man on the river , and several yeara ago I
had occasion to test my ability. Oncu my
husband foil ill with fever , and wo had a
run of half a hundred miles to make ,
with several landings , in a \ cry crooked
bayou. I took the boat's wheel and got
through all right , although you would
have laughed over the amazement of the
natives to BOO a woman piloting. Several
years ago wo had to go and take oil' load
ed barges from a largo boat stuck on a
sand bar above Cairo. My husband had
to leave our boat to remain on the other ,
which was leaking badly , and BO I took
the dock , had the barges made fast to us ,
turned the brat round , and carried her
down to Cairo. Capt. Cannon said that
I had as good a right to a captain's license
as any man on the river. "
"What do you do with yourself all the
time , Mrs. Stiller ] " asked the reporter.
"Well , I manage all the money mat-
teri. When wo are up in thu parishes
I buy and load the boat with cotton seed ,
which I buy after inspecting samples ,
and bring it to Now Orleans and neil out
to merchants. Wo carry other freight ,
of course , and I buy all the boat's pro
visions , und provisions also to sell to the
plantation hands up the country. Then
1 do the collecting and banking business.
At first the merchants thought it odd to
BOO a woman como in collecting , but I
have never yet been treated witli any *
thing but courtesy and kindness ; and ,
besides , they never hallo out to mo to
'call ugain , ' as they might to a man. "
"Possessed of your captain's license ,
what do you moan to do ? "
"I shall keep on just as I am moving ,
except that I shall bo oftener on dock
and looking after the boat when ehe
lands and puts freight on or off. I wanted
a license because I had earned it , and
wishing _ to undertake when necessary the
free duties of a steamboat captain ,
"You must not think my lifo ha boon
eventful , Wo have never had any acci
donU happen to us since wo have boon
on the river , and I am not afraid of any.
Ours is a thousand milo trjp , and I sow ,
road , write to the children , make oul
bills , and take the deck when necessary.
Not many boats take our aoute. It is
a beautiful , hilly country , and the people
wo meet at landings all know mo. Most
of them call mo Capt. Miller already. "
"Do you think atoamboating would bo
a good profession for a woman ? "
"Certainly not.unless it had corao to
her , neb aho to it as in my own ca.no.
Stoamboating was forced upon mo , nut
the happiest thing it has taught mo in
that whatever a man may learn to do , a
woman may also , provided it is not a
question of muscle.
Somebody poked an inquiring head in
nt the door and asked Mrs. Miller if shu
had taken on that circular saw for the
"wlldornosi. "
Mra. Miller denned her business air
and the reporter withdrew.

An EIXBJ Matter to Get Signatures for
Anjlhltifr.
WMitn ) tcn tetter , I'Mlmlcl ) hU ItcoorJ.
Petitions from the people who cheese
to exercise their glorious constitutional
right to forward thum are treated rather
uncormoniously in the house of repre
sentatives. It took so much valuable
time to present them in the course of the
.lay's business that n year or two ago a
little walnut box , a foot square , was
nailed up at the clerk's desk and labeled
"Petition Boxj" and the rules were so
intended that petitions have to bo placed
in it. At the close of the day they are
miotly taken out and pigeon holed in
the committees having cognizance of
heir Bubjoct matter. In the senate
: hey are still introduced with the old
formality. Sometimes the senator pre
senting them makes a little speech about
thorn , as Mr. Ulair , of Now Hampshire ,
did the other day in presenting the pe
tition of 4,000 or 0,000 residents of this
city , asking that the sale of intoxicating
iquors bo prohibited in thu District of
Columbia , ilo also succeeded in gutting
n quite n long statement of the success
of prohibition in luuisas. Altogether ho
; ot two columns and iftoro of The Con-
; rcssional Record for his petitions. These
letitiona weru followed by dozens of like
character from all over the country. They
wore all nicely wrapped in brown red pa-
> or and tied with white ribbons. Of
course they had been sent out
all over the country by the Central
Committee of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union for signatures. That
s the only way to make these petitions
at all impressive to congress. A single
lotition gets no consideration at all ,
Neither do half a dozen , but a hundred
ittract attontion. So every movement
las its petition factories. Central com
mittees of national organi/.atioiiB prepare
) otitioii9 , aund thorn all over llio Umted
Hates , got signatures for them through
.heir . local organizations , and than have
thorn forwarded to senators and repre
sentatives hero. The most successful
vork of this sort in recent years is that
of the men who are engineering the
novemont for a national bankruptcy law.
Choir petitions are better prepared , bot-
or signed and bottorsoutthan any others.
. 'otitiong , no matter how numerous or
low well prepared , do not always olloct
-heir purpose. Blair said , in offering
lis prohibition petitions the other day :
'I desire , in presenting those petitions ,
, o say that for many years it has boou
.ho somewhat common practice of the
jooplo of this country to send like poti-
,10118 to the two houses of congress , but ,
so far as I know , never yet with
any tangible ofl'ect upon the legislation
of this country " Most members of cou-
; res3 know how these petitions are pro-
) arod. Ono of them spoke for all of
; hem when ho said to-day : "I don't pay
-hat attention to petitions that I did when
[ was younger ; they're too numerous.
You can got a man to sign a petition far
anything. Why , in Cincinnati , a year or
.wo ago , ono prominent merchant bet
another § 100 that ho could got a hundred
irst-class signatures among the members
if the chamber of commerce asking for
; ho immediate execution of the mayor of
, bu city for gross malfeasance in ofilco.
The man who proposed the bet at once
drew up a petition reciting imaginary

When LOO'B graybacka were making
Lhcir way through Pennsylvania toward
Tiottysburgtwo infantrymen belonging to
Pickott'a ' Virginians raided into a
Quaker's house in search of something to
oat. They were mot at the door by the
owner of the promises , who asked ; "Aro
you rebels ? " ' 'You bet wo are ! " was the
llunt reply. "And what do yo wish
licro ? " "Fodder , old man , and don't
keep us waiting for it " "If thuo wisliest
for something to cat thou canst have it , "
said the Quaker to the spokesman , "but
I trust thut yo will take nothing from thu
houso. " It was a poor trust. After the
boys had finished their meal ono of them
pocketed a watch vvhich was hanging on
a nail , and the other seized upon a silver
cream-pitcher na a token of rdmombranui' .
"Aro yo thiovcs as well as rebellious citi-
y.euu'f" indignantly demanded the man as
lie confronted thorn. "Stand aside and
lot us out oiwo'll damage you ! " "Vorilly ,
] will not ! Thou must not rob my house , "
' Never mind him , Bill ; Quakers don't
fight , " called the one in the rear , "Hit
him a clip on the chin and run for it. "
"Truly I ahall not fight , "calmly observed
the dusciplo of Ppnn , as he pushed up
his sleeves and spit on his hands ; "but if
in a friendly scuillo to recover possession
of minn own the robbers should got in
jured I ahall not have to answer to my
conscience. " There v/aa a"friondly scut-
Ilo" in the next York minute , and ono of
the trio , who is now a resident of Richmond
mend , vividly remembers having the jaw-
ache for a week after , while his compan
ion complained of uoro throat , duzineas ,
lame back and depressed spirits. All tin
romurkmnado after the nculllo commenced
were simply a few words dropped by the
Quaker to the effect that : " 1 nm sorry
to put theo out , and sorry to damage theo ,
but it is better that thou should st go thy
way up the pike toward destruction. "

It is evident from the remarks made
by Central Pacific Huntington in thu interviews
terviows recently reported that the dif
furenco of opinion botwoeu him and the
government on the Kubjuct of his righ
to thu Texas Pacific land grant does no
trouble him in thu least. Thu secretary
of the interior denies his right to it , am
has refused his repeated entreaties to
have the land conveyed to him. The
public lands committee have unanimous ! ;
voted to prepare ft bill forfeiting th
grant and restoring the land to Bottlers
notwithstanding hia tears ; but still Hunt-
ingtonia undismayed. Why/ / Here
lies on the supreme court to * decide in
his favor , oa it IIM so often ruled in favor
of the corporations and aganibt the people -
plo and the aottloni.
Iluntington built through the Terri
tories ovur the public lundii , as a tres
passer without the coii'ont of the govern
ment. Ho entered and built through a
government reservation in the same
iiigh-handod way. IJo ciossod the Col
orado river on a reservation in spite of
llio positive prohibition of the secretary
of Witr. Now ho says that if congress , in
[ > ursuan"oof its rights , presumes to do-
3laro the grant which ho "ontnod" from
the government in this way forfeited ho
will go into the courts nnd tie up the
Itnd for twenty years by litigation , witli
the evident conviction that in the end
the supreme court \\ill award it to him.
If there ara any simple-minded people
who still refuse to believe that there in
any roaton rrh certain groit monopolies
should bo making a simultaneous and
continuous effort to obtain conttol of the
senate and to name a candidate for the
presidency wo hope the revelation by
Iluntington of the great a lakes ho will
mvo to play for and his reliance on the
supreme court will enlighten them. In
.ho next dozen years questions about
ami-grants and railroad discriminations
are coming up bcforo the supreme court ,
o control which Iluntington and the
Standard Oil company nlono could afford
o pay the expenses of all the presidential
elections and the elections of a majority
of the Bonato until they are Bottled.
Men like Iluntington are anarchical.
Choir anti-social attitude is abundantly
llustratcd in his remarks on the proposed
ogislation by congress to prevent the
railroads of the country from favoring
ono shipper at thu expense of others. Hu
tigmnti/cs such control as conliscatory.
U essence is , ho says , to take away the
: ntrol of property from its ownership.
Uilroad property must bo treated "liko
other property. " The class ot men ho
represents are perfectly willing to bo
given extraordinary privileges like these
of eminent domain , and the common
carrier by which they can take for
heir own uses and profit the propel ty
of others nnd gain possession exclu
sively of the great highways of thu
nation's travel nnd tratllc , but the mo-
nont the obligation that goes with those
rights is to bo enforced why , then their
iroporty is like other property. There
s no end to the special favors , gifts ,
lowers , exemptions railroad men are
rilling to bog or buy from the logisla-
urea ; their property is unlike tiny other
cmd of property when they arc after
heao things , but when they have got
vhat they want , and the pot pie cock to
nit them under the obligations which
lave always attached to the property of
ho common carrier , their position is sud-
innly lovorsud. They are then only like
ho holders of other property.
There is nn irrepressible conllict hero ,
'ho property of the men who , by char-
era and the delegated powers of eminent
omain , hold the roads of the country in
heir solo control is not at all like other
iroporty. Not even the citizens of the
nonarchical and aristocratic governments
f Europe are ridden by such despotism
s Iluntington and his associates have do-
orminod by the help of the senate and
ho president and the supreme court to
asten on us. Those railroad kings will
nd that they must submit in free Amor-
ca to at least as much control asould
jo imposed on thorn in England , Franco
r Germany.
