An article is going the rouoda of the pi.
pus, stating tbnt tbe eating ef tomatoes
produces ali manner of ills, and raakes tbe
teeth to come out. .And bow we see Ibat
German writers deoounct tbe potato. Tbey
declare that on a potato diet natrons deter
1 ruto botu physically and mentally. One
writer maintain that tbe excessive use of
potatoes uinoog Ibe poorer stasses and the
uo ol coil'de and tea by the higher olatset Is
tue cause of tbe jndolenee of, nations. Id
tnis connection wa notice Ibat a prominent
Cincinnati physician condetaas the use ot
new potatoes that bave been long washed
ucUiu cooking. He says Ibe praotioe of
washiog' ,ow- potatoes' before i tbey are
brought to Tfurkt't 'makes' tbem positively
tuUt for raod. We see, do explanation- of
opinion, nor any reason given why washing
loe dirt off the potatoes makes tbem so in-
jului.s for food.

tary vommitiee to wnom the petition was
referred, reported against its prayer saying
"Tbera were only two precedents cf such
divorces in tbe State, one about a hundred
years ago, aod one la 1870. Tbe committee
believed tbey were bad precedents. The
woman wat insane, and probably incurable.
But ber insanity came from no fault ef here,
and the committee thought that It would
not be to accordance with tbe taered mar

cause, any more than ll wonlri be proper lo
put her atide because ibe bad became para

From Iba Peoria Review.
Mr. Tweezer wat on tbe bluff, last even
log, ceiliog on a lady friend, aod Ibey were
ont ao the porch, discussing tbe 'works o1
the grett authors, when the young lady'
pet white rabbit, wbhrh bad escaped from
lit cage, came rushing around the bouse
with a big yellow dog after it. Tbe youog
lady screamed, and Mr Tweezer Ibrew a
rocking chair at the-dog, frightening bim
away, bat knocking over eight flower pots
and telescoping tbe chair. Then Ibe young
lady Implored Mr. Tweezer t calcb tbe
rabbH and save It from Ibe borrld doge.
And Mr Tweezer commenced to oateh the
rabbit. H employed stratagem at ttrst
following It around lo Ibe back of the beuse
and whistling gently, lo true hunter's style,
lo arrest Its attention aod eaaae it la step.
Then be made a grab for It when ft paused
to reflect under tbe gooseberry burbeo. Mr
Tweezer grabbed aot wisely but too well.
for tbe rabbit took advantage ef his pbwging
and snatching aroood among tbe bushes I
scurry over Into a neighboring yard.
Tweezier didn't like Ibat much, and be
took occasion to ssy something derogatory
to tbe character of the rabbit as be extricat
ed himself from tbe thicket. Bet teeing
the yeung lady near, be smiled a dim tort
of a tmile and got off a dismal tort of a joke
about forty thorns ia the bead being warlh
a rabbit lo tbe bush. Then be girded up bis
lelnt and returned Iba catching of tbe rab
bit. He bad left bit bat among the fruit
ful shrubs, aod at be vaulted over tbe fence
a portion of bit coat tall remained oo a pro
truding nan. nut Mr. Tweeter meant
business. And to did tba rabbit Tbey
ooursea cross iaa yard, men oat In tbe
sliest, Ibea down two blocks, then Into a
potato Held, Ibea leto another yard, aod
here a man came out and asked Tweezer
what lo all sixty-six ha wat Irjloi to do.
Tweezer asked bim If be didu't have tenet
eeougb to see for himself. And tba man
smiled a sad and pitying smile.
ivre mil interview took plaoe, It might
be tiated that tba rabbit bad gone under
ibe cow liable. Tweezer crawled under
and abased ll out. Anybody might know
that by tba look of bit wblta duck olotbesl
Wheo be came out tba chase bsgaa anew.
Tbe rabbit wai fair and walled for bim just

lima the pursuit led down tba middle of tba
street, and tpeotatora looked on aod clap
ped Ibeir bandi witb enthusiasm. Tweev
er't blood wa np, aad be resolved to ealob
that rabbit. When Mr Tweezer came up aod
reoelved ibe prey from tbe jaws of its captor,
no lounq to nit inexpressible sorrow that
tba poor little animal bad not been killed.
So be bora II back and restored It, aobirav
ad, to tbe loving arms which awaited It al
