THE men who ordered Soldier lams to be hung up by the thumbs at Home stead may not get off as lightly as they predicted. The Alleghany county grand jury brought in true bills against three of them the other day for aggravated as soult and battery, and the plaintiff in the case says he will insist on pushing it as far as it will go. He has lots of back ing, and the soldiers of the state may know whether they can be bulldozed and maltreated by their officers without a trial. TUB Philadelphia Record on Friday gave the most complete instructions yet published for voters, informing them how to mark the new ballot. Four fac similes of the official ballot are printed, three showing the manner of voting a straight Democratic, Republican and Prohibition ticket, and one showing a split ticket. The man who feels that he is not familiar with the new method should procure a copy and study the instructions. IN betting on the election remember that when the bet is decided the cold winds of November will be blowing around your homes. Before putting up your money on a sure tiling, look around and examine the condition of your last winter's flannels and overcoat. You may then decide to adopt the only course that is absolutely sure, which is, "hang on to your money." This is sen sible advice from an exchange. IT seems to lie an understood tiling that Wanamaker's reign will soon end, whether Harrison is re-elected or not. The entire history of the post-office de partment, from its inception to the time he took charge, cannot show nearly the amount of trouble he lias caused by his reversed decisions, illegal rulings and imposing censorship. Newspaper pub lishers in alt parts of the country are complaining of the "slip-shod manner in which cases are disposed of by the post master general, and one of them lias be stowed upon that official the appropriate name of "Johnny Troublemaker." IDeedlntf the Officer IfolderM. Chairman Roosevelt, of the civil ser vice commission, has announced that he is going to Washington to prosecute a number of Western Republicans who have been levying political assessments on Indian agents. Tho Republican national committee is not engaged in tliis work, to his knowledge; but locnl committees have been, and lie bas given notice that "before long you will hear something drop." As to the pernicious activity of local committees in this lawless and demoraliz ing assessment business there is not a | shadow of a doubt. One sample, out of i hundreds, lately issued from the head-! quarters of the Delaware county Re publican committee, of this state, ad dressed to Republican officeholders, contains these dunning wordß; We feel justified in calling upon you to bear a share of the expense. We therefore expect and solicit a contribu tion from you, such an amount as you feel able to give, assuring you that it will be duly acknowledged and judi ciously expended. There can be as little question that I this political assessment business is 1 much more than a local question, and that it is being practiced on a national i scale, if not by national authority. On ; the w hole, therefore, Mr. Roosevelt is | cutting out more work for himself than he may be able to get through with this year; and the sporadic droppings that have been promised may be but as drops in a bucket. The way to bring down the evil tree is not by windfalls, but by cutting at the roots. This whole bad business lias its tap-root in Washington. The only way to cut that out is by a radical change of administration, and the rehabilitation of the civil service on the basis principle ttiat public office is a public trust, not a mutual assessment system for guarntee ing to the party assessed a continuance of his position and perquisites.— Record. Kdlion'i French Rival. A young French chemist, M. Henri Oourtonne, is credited with A new dis covery. Sound being transmissible by telephone, M. Courtonne argued by a rigorous analogy that light might be ' transmitted too. As the telephone con -1 sists of a transmitter, a wire and a re ceiver, there was reason to believe that these three organs might bo adapted for transmitting light vibrations, and for this purpose the transmitter and re ceiver should be prepared chemically J for receiving and giving out light in- | stead of sound vibrations. This was done by substituting sensitized photo 1 graphic plates for the ordinary tele phone plate. One of the plates was placed in front of an aperature, through which an image was cast, and this image has been for warded by wire and has been seen at the other end. The first apparatus was very imperfect, and M. Courtonne, hav ing heard that Mr. Ellison was on the track of a similar discovery, resolved to publish his experiments, a description of which ho, however, sent in a sealed let ter to the Academy in 1889. This letter is only to be opened at the sender's re quest. The consequences of the tele photography cannot be overestimated. Tomorrow you will see in Paris tho image of a man smoking in St. Peters burg.—Paris Figaro. lie Condemned the Truck System. Lord Wimnarleigh, whose death at a patriarchal age was announced recently, was but a name to the present gen eration. When he was sent to the house of lords ho virtually retired from public life, and devoted himself almost entire ly to tho care of his largo estates. Colonel Wilson-Patten, to call him by the name by which ho was known in parliament for more than forty years, was an excellent type of Conservative. His first speech in the house of commons was a condemnation of the truck sys tem, and he it was who first called at tention to the hardships inflicted upon the working classes of Lancashire by tho tax on printed cottons. In the interests of manufacturing Lancashire, Colonel Wilson-Patton al ways took a serious interest, and such was his popularity among all classes that he held a seat for tho coun ty for forty-throe yoars with only one contest. The bitter domestic sorrows which fell upon his later years—the deaths of both his sons and his only grandson—aroused deep sympathy oven in those who knew him only by name and reputation.—St. James Budget. Tattooed by Lightning. Sunday I. Hough, a laborer at Castle Hock, was driving n pin in tho ground with a hatchet when a bolt of light ning descended from a clear sky and struck him. Tho top was taken off his hat and consumed and tho rim of the hat was split. His hair was singed all over his head, and upon the crown it is burned in precisely the shape of a .ton sure, a spot about tho size of a quarter being left wholly bare. A livid mark is left across his breast from shoulder to shoulder, and directly above his heart a hole was burned in his shirt. Around the body, below the waist, extends a belt of flesh about fonr inches wide, black and blue and dotted with numer ous small holes. Down his back and legs are streaks, and the insido of his legs are burned. Hough remained un conscious till 10 o'clock, when he recov ered his senses and is still alivo.—Den ver Cor. Ban Francisco Examiner. Something New In tho Snako line. A large snako of unknown spccios was killed by A. C. Iteichelderfer, sujierin tendent of tho Lima Natural Gas com pany, on 8. W. Doty's farm, in St. Mary's. Mr. Reichelderfer, in company with Mr. Spear, a prominent oil man, was walk ing over tho farm when the reptile at tacked him. It mado several vicious attempts to bite him, but was unsuc- ' cessful, and after a few vain trials Mr. ' Reichelderfer finally procured a club j and dispatched his snakeship. The mon ster measured six feet long and its back j was covered with scales. Its skin is on exhibition in this city and has attracted j great attention. Thus far no one has ' been ablo to name it.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Company Rcponitibl. In Michigan it is unlawful for railway companies to neglect to block the frogs on their roads, so that the feet of em ployees may not bo caught therein. A switchman, while uncoupling cars, had his foot caught in an unblocked frog and I was injured. Ho sued for damages, and proved that other frogs in the yard were [ unblocked and that the yardiuastor had I i been notified of their condition. The ■ I court decided that it was no defense ; j that the company had employed men to j keep all frogs blocked, and that proper | ] material had been furnished for that pur JH isc, because the negligence of the employees w;ts tho nogligonco of the company.—Now York Sun. Electric Light. 11l St. I,out*. St. Louis will have over six miles of magnificently illuminated Btreets during tho autumnal festivities. There will not lie less than fifty arches, some of which are to be startling in their gor ; geousness. There will bo over 75,000 electric lamps and gas jets in each night's display. Tho electric light coin lianies have not enough power to stand j this strain in addition to the regular de- I mands made on them, and are going to i put in extra dynamos and engines for tho occasion.—St. Louis Letter. j One of the strangest phenomena ever witnessed at sea was described a short time ago by Captain Thomson, of tho Anchor line steamship Trinacria, that was in brief an earthquake shock at sea on July 25, followed by the appearance in the sky of a huge fiery serpent, which stretched from the zenith to the horizon. | Street car parties are the fashion at Burlington, la.

Tills is the time of perfumed breaths. A woman expends many a dollar on lit tle capsules that the wily druggist has been at great pains to concoct, and she ever after breathes upon yon a composi tion of delicate odors that makes one conjure up all tho very good things to ■mell and eat that we have ever known. It is a most dainty fad whichever way you look at it, and one that cannot have one word said against it. Perhaps if they would just spend a little more time on teeth and throat they would not need so many perfumery things to make them sweet; but that is neither here nor there, and as Lord Byron says a woman should be gotten up like a bouquet, let the girls revel in sweet smells, in perfumes and powders for the hair, for of course you know one's powder rubbed into the roots of the hair and then carefully brushed out again leaves a faint trace of violets on the locks that is simply entrancing, and in extracts and toilet waters for the dainty bodies, but we beg that tho heavy odor of musk and patchouli be left out of the category, or else that the devotees of such stifling perfumes take pity on poor hu manity and religiously avoid crowded theaters or more closely packed street cars, where one grows jxisitively faint by an overwhelming scent that drives every other thought or surrounding from tho mind.—Philadelphia Times. "A Great Climate." The Georgia weekly editors will re sume business at the old stands this week, having returned from their west ern excursion. One of them relates on amusing incident of a buggy ride in Texas. A local committee was conduct ing a number of editors over several largo and scientifically arranged farms. While the members of the committee were praising the soil and climate of Texas in extravagant terms, a sand storm, accompanied by a first-class cy clone, lifted horses and buggies in the air, bearing all of them along in a cloud of sand at the rate of a mile a minute. While they were going it at this rate the spokesman of the committee mut tered between gasps: "Lively times, gents. We don't—have—this—often. Great—climate. Just—got—blowout— for—the—occasion!" Then, as they were all tumbled head over heels in a ditch, the committeeman shouted "Just hold your breath for a half hour and it'll bo over. Great climate!"— Atlanta Consti tution. A Queer Nulnance In Waithlngton. One of the residents of Ninth botween C and D streets northeast has appealed to the police without success for some relief from what he considers a nuisance. Some of the unimproved ground in that section is being worked in corn and po tatoes, and the latter has become infested with a bug or worm. To suve the pota toes the grower used paris green and drove them off, and the migration was directly toward the houso of tho com plaining noighlior. Had tho worms stop ped at the building line it would have been all right, but right up his steps into tho parlors and bed chambers tbey went in search of something tender and green to feed upon, and their presence became intolerable. Then Lieutenant Hefner was appealed to and advice asked, but he could give none other than to sweep them out. It was suggested that he might use paris green to drive them off, and ho went off in search of that article. —Washington Star. A Carole.. Counterfeiter. Onco in awhile wo hear of tho SUB pender button going into the contribu tion box, but it bus been reserved for a prominent Dexter citizen toappeariu the guise of a bold, bad counterfeiter. His en velope Sunday contained a lead half dol lar, which was promptly returned to him. With that lack of precaution character istic at times of tho greatest criminal he placed his name on the envelope in closing his contribution. He will keep right on making leaden shiners probu j bly, but if ho attempts to pass another j Binglo one ho will get his naine into the ! puper, and this will probably frighten | him out of the business if anything in j this wide world can.—Dexter (Me.) Ga | zette. The iCalhln Industry In Victoria. The raisin industry is Mug gradual ly devoloped in Victoria, and promises ! shortly to lie sufficient to supply tho re- J quircments of the colony. So says Mr. J. Knight, who writes on tho subject in the new Bulletin of the Victoria De partment of Agriculture. Extensive planting, he says, is going on in various parts of the colony, from tho extreme west of Mildnra along to the east as far | as Wangaratta, the largest plantation | being in the well known Goulburn val ley. In this locality not only lias tho manufacture of raisins received atten tion during the last six years, but the products of the enrrant vino also are I now being placed on the market.

Fire in Australia. 11l wot weather it is usual for the ; | Australian aborigine to carry in the I hand, beneath the kangaroo akin, a piece of smoldering wood, which com pensates the bearer in some sort for the i want of a flannel waistcoat, and en ables him to light a fire at a moment's ; notice. ' One of our men had also a plan on | j cold nights of lying down, rolled up in his furs, upon the ashes of a raked out fire. He explained to my husband that tho advantage of thus going to hod was twofold, boing no less good for warmth than for concealment, especially when passing the night in a strange place, where tho keeping up of a fire after dark might attract tho notice of unfriendly ' nativos. ' Each tribe possesses a territory of its own, and each family of the tribe has its own especial tract of land within ' that territory. Here a man can light J his fire and build his hut without fear of molestation. It is in fact his pater nal estate, so that the word "Are" con veys to an Australian the same mean ' ing of fatherland or birthplace as the word "hearth" conveys to a European, and Is used by the aborigines in the ' same sense.—Mrs. Millett. ' l-ruperty Amoug Ants unit Iters. The collective system of property must have lasted among ants and bees ' for many thousands of years, for, apart j from cases of demoralization such as may, for example, be produced among liees by giving them a taste for drunk enness, these intelligent insects show the most absolute doference and devo tion to social property. Their primi i tive selfishness has broadened out into I a collective or patriotic egoism. But i these very Bocial species, witli their moro than Christian charity, have not t reached this high degree of civilization at one bound. In tho ant and bee 1 worlds, as in our own, there are sav . ages. There are still at the present I time certain species of ants ignorant of i the division of labor carried so far among their civilized congeners.— . "Property: Its Origin and Devclop -3 ment." D Sportive Lamb*. j A flock of ewes and lambs were once observed in adjoining fields, separated by a fence with several gaps in it. "Fol j low my leader" was the game most in ( favor with this flock, the biggest lamb : leading around tho field and then jump ing the gap, with all the others follow ' ing in single file. Any lamb that took tho leap unusually well would give two or three more enthusiastic jumps out of sheer exuberant happiness when it reached the other side. Fawns played a sort of cross touch from one side to tho other, tho "touch" in each case be ing by the nose.—Loudon Tit-Bits. The Color* of Amber. Amber has a wonderful variety of colors. Some of it is as clear as crystal, some as yellow as honey, some light blue and again a transparent green. Then it is foniul as white as snow, the color of cream, and often many of these tints are blended in one piece. There is a popular notion to the effect that am ber has curative qualities for such ail ments us croup aud sore throat, and many thousand necklaces of it are sold annually for that purpose.—lnterview In Washington Star.

The Electropoise has been in use; for four yours, ami is well known in some sections of the United States, but there are a great many siitVcrers that have never heard the name. Those that have heard of It and seen something of its wonderful power, are curious to know how an instrument HO small and so simple can accomplish cures so great. Now, while the Electropoise is very wonderful, it is not at all mysterious. Its operation falls in with what we know of science and anv one at all familiar with the simplest facts of Biology and Physics can understand. HOW IT OPERATES.—The way in which the Electropoise accomplishes its cures is very simple and natural. It consists of a pnlarizt r, which is connected by a woven wire cord with a small plate and garter. This polari/er is im mersed in cold water, or put on ice. The plate at the other end of the cord Is attached to the warm body of the patient, generally at the ankle. From the inherent nature of this polurizer it becomes neuattvcly charged. By the well-known laws of Induction, the plate, and with if the body of the patient, becomes jumitivelu charged. The In sly thereby becomes a centre of attraction for negative bodies. Oxygen is the most negative form of matter in nature. Hence the body, bathed in the atmos phere, drinks in the life-giving oxygen at every pore. Every process of life is thereby quickened. The temperature rises; the pulse throbs with a fuller beat; the skin tingles with new life; every organ acts with renewed vigor, and the effete poisonous products of the body are thrown off witli ease. That quickened change of matter which oxygen produces throughout the system, is accompanied by a largely increased genesis of Nerve Force. Organs half dead and stag nant are born again, and begin to perform their wouted functions. The heart, the lungs, the liver, the organs of the external senses, the organs of reproduction nil those throw oil their derangement, and weakness, and even the disordered intellect is ofttimes reenthroned. Where disease lias not already made too great ravages, restoration to perfect health is In evitable. The Electropoise is generally used at night while the patient is asleep, but may be applied, of course, at any time, and to several persons during the twenty-four hours. It will last a life-time, never wears out nor loses its strength, never needs mending nor recharging. One in each family will render that family largely independent of doctors and druggists, and thus will save every year many times its small cost. NOT AN ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE. —The Electropoise is not in any way akin to the numerous electrical appliances, such as helt*, insoles. corsets, shiclils, Ac,, palmed off upon the public. It has no method of generat ing a current, nor means of conducting one. It acts upon well-known biological principles, and IH heartily endorsed by many of the. best physicians in this and other countries, and is daily used by them in their practice. It is pro nounced by them the greatest discovery in the history of medicine, in that it does away with the use of medicines. DIRECTIONS FOR USlNG.—Accompany ing each instrument is a book of instructions fully explaining its uses. Its method of cure is so simple and lree from danger, that the un initiated and even children can use it with per fect ease and success. Editorial in Huston Christian Witftcwt and Ad vacate of lllhle Holiness, September 11, 1891: "A method of treatment of disease without the use of any medicines or drugs, which has been quietly extending itself over ull parts of the United States during the past three years with very gratifying results. We are slow to commend new discoveries of any kind, for the reason that so many of them prove to be worthless. But we can commend; the Electropoise as a safe and effective health restorer. We do not. pretend to explain the philosophy of its workings, but, having realiz ed its benelicial effects, we can speak of its re sults. About one year ago we recommended it to Bro. 1.1). Ware, of I'liiladelpliia, for his son, who was a great sufferer from Sciatica. He had sought relief in various ways and found none. He was almost helpless, and rapidly de clining. The use of the Electropoise restored him t<) perfivt health, and now. after nearly a year, he is rejoicing as one who has found great spoil. We have seen testimonials of most re markable cures. This notice of the Electro poise is without solicitation, and entirely gra tuitous. We do it, for the good of the afflicted. We have no |>ersonal interest in it, and are not paid for what we say in its favor." The following editorial in Central Methodist, Catlcttaburg, Ky., was written by Zcphaniah Meek, l>. !>., editor: "Unless about ten thousand men, mainly pro fessional men, lawyers, doctors, editors, preach ers, and all other classes, including the writer, are very much mistaken, the Electropoise ef fect* cures and gives relief where all other known remedies have fulled. Especially is it efficacious in the case of delicate women and feeble children. 1 have used one for the past two years, and find it invaluable as a curative ugent." Names of prominent people in all sections of the U. 8. generally can be furnished on appli cation. Our cures cover all parts of the United .States and Europe. Over M),OUD people have been treated wit.li the most gratifying results. In the large majority of eases the cures have been speedy, but our claims are modest, and in long-standing, chronic cases you cannot expect speedy cures.
