Disease and Death, when they reach our own households, are too serious for jesting, we use our best endeavors to drive ott the dread messengers, and are only happy when we feel that they are at a distance. At the first spproa-Ji of that fell destroyer, Consumption, in the shape of a cough or slight cold as well as more severe Brondiial or Ca­ tarrh Complaints, we should at once us$ Eilert's Extract of Tar and Wild Cher­ ry. It has no superior in such, cases. Every bottle warranted to give satis­ faction. Sold by aM Drugists. Astonishing SuceeM It Is the duty of every person who has used BUSCHKE'S GERMAN SYRUP to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma. Pneu­ monia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it with­ out immediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Druggists to recom­ mend it it to the poor dying con­ sumptive. at least to try one bottle, as 40,00p dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the GERMAN SYRUP cannot be too widely known. Ask your Druggist about it. Sample Bottles to try sold at 10 cents. Regular size 75 cents. It should be the duty, as well as pleasure of all journalists, to impart such useful information to the readers of their papers as well conduce to their well-being and health. If we can save anyone from an hour's pain we have ac- coinplished some good in this world.-- Now. we know that the advice we are about to give will save many of our friends from avast amount of suffering, especially those who are troubled with rheumatism, neuralgia, or sciatica. Call on your druggist for a bottle of Lawson's Curative, and use it faithfully, for any ache, pain inflamma" tion yon may have, and, our word for it vou will thank ns for our advice.-- For sale by H* Colby, Druggist, Mo- Henry, 111. THK WHITK HOUSE KKSORX Writes the Washington correspond­ ent of the Courier-Journal: The White Iloaso has become quite afSouth- ern resort. Whether the result of such Intercourse will be the conversion of the Sonth to Mr. Hayes* politics, or liis conversion to the |>arty outside of the Republican leaders, is a question that will not be solved before the close of this Congress. The breach is widen­ ing. and the asrimouy in the Senate is intensifying. The two parties now at each other with the hatred of deadly foes. Edmunds, with his sneers and saivasui, is exasperating his opponents while the insolence of Conkling is unendurable. There are some hot­ headed men in the Senate, and they forget their duty and,recklessly return some of the blows given. Tae contest is now narrowed down to crushing, and if possible, exterminating loemen.-- To-day may decide the contested seats, and lovers of peace aud harmony hope it may, for the longer the battle waged, the more iutense becomes the feeling which now exists outside of the areua, and like the partisans in a pugilistic fight, each wish their side to win, though they take no personal in­ terests iu cither of the contestants.-- It does seem as though we never will have peace again, for as*fast as one dif­ ficulty is solved another arises. Amiable Dlvorect of Chicago Par&tMk * The New York Worljl announces that a decree of divorce has been granted to Key. Jacob B. Shipajd, formerly of this city, and, in^ connec­ tion therewith, gives the followiug interview with the gentleman: Over fifteen years ago my wife and 1 made up onr minds that our marriage WM a mistake, and, while enjoying the slclusiou of thts quiet little spot (Rich­ mond Hill, near New York), have been devising some means to obviate the difcomforts of living together. A year ago the plan of separation was agreed upon, and the details of an ab- solute divorce were diawu up. We have given the matter mature delibera­ tion, and everything has been done in the most friendly spirit. My wife has an equitable proportion of my pro­ perty settled upon her. About three weeks ago application was made by both of us for an absolute; divorce. Western State. There are provisions for thedispositionof our two children, in which it is stipulated that no undue influence shall be exercised by either parent, and that the children shall re­ side in alternate periods of equal length with both. Mrs. Shlpard is now living at Sag Harbor with the children, and there does not exist any unpleasant feeling between us. but only a perfect understandng to /ibide most implicitly by the spirit of the decree which has been granted Tho World says that Mr. Shi par d was formerly pastor of the Plymouth Church in this city. WET BOOTS. A friend writes from Europe: Wliat an amount of discomfort wet boots en­ tail, to be sure; and how well we all re­ call the fretful efforts we have now and then made to draw on a pair of hard baked ones which were put up by the fire over night to dry. Damp and adhesive within, they are without stiff and unyielding as a horn. Once on. they are a sort of modern stocks de­ structive of all comfort for the next morning: When the boots are taken oil fill them quite full of dry oats.-- This grain has a great fondness for damp, and will rapidly absorb tho last vestige of It from the leather. As It takes up the moisture it swells and fills the boot with tightly fitting last, keeping its form good and drying the leather without hardening it, in the morning shake out the oats apd hang them iu a bag near the fire to dry* ready for the next wet night, draw on the boots, and go happy about the day's work. Don't be^agrumbler, pie contrive to get hold of Some peo- the piokly side of every tiling, to run against all the sharp oorners, and find all the dis­ agreeable things. Half the streugth spent in growling would often set things right. You may as well make up your mind to begin with that no one ever found the world quite as he would like 11; but you are to take your share of the trouble and bear it bravely.-- You will be very sure to have burdens laid upon you that belong to other peo­ ple, uuless you are a shirk yourself) but don't grumble. If the work needs do­ ing, and you can do it, never mind about the person who ought to have donr it and didn't. Those workers who fill up the gaps and smooth away the rough spots, and finish up the job that others leave undone, they are the true peacemakers andworth a whole regiment ot growlers. Overcoats!

He was called on to speak in public there, and If the Rockford Register rightly quotes him he is an egotistical ninny as well as an un­ principled knave. The Register cred­ its hiaa with saying, among other things: "I am the bold defender of your honor, and the truest friend South Carolina has in the North."

WASHINGTON COfUUMPOttlMeNCK. WASHIKOTOX. D. O. Dec. Sdt H77. We have had plenty to occupy deepest attention thia werk,aside fr its being Thanksgiving week, wile* enough of itself ordinarily. The Senate--honorable * body--Ml been conducting itself in sncli an seemingly manner that we know which way to look for godly2;exam] Certainly not Where wrangling back-biting prevails, where each whicn can say tho most bitter cruel thing to his party opponol where twitting and taunting is the Wi dr r of the day and night. Such doing* are what we have seen In the Stnati since I wrote y au last. Tho most lord- ly men in our laud have beenf ravagelJP assailed and none seems ready to d* another honor Conkling has attack*^ President Hayes and has In turn boM§ ravagely pounced upon by Thurman.-- Edwards has thrown broad cast tho harshest declaration his always^cuttlng tongue could command snch excito* ment and downright anger has beoa manifested. The Senate remained all; of Tuesday night In session making twenty hours without recess. Sucti cases as that do not often occur and tho scene is a novt l one. The galleries of course are comparatively deserted at such times, although last Tuesday night as many as fifty ladles and two huudred gentleman remained to hoar the tiling through. Upon all the sofas on the floor of the Senate Chamber and in the cloak room might be seen th« extended forms of illustrious gentle­ men stretched at full length and sleep­ ing soundly, only awakened by tho pages to vote whenever tho ayes and nays were called. During Mr. Conk« Hug's speech, however, which was made soon ufter twelve o'clock, and was exceedingly eloquent and vehe­ ment, the sleeping beauties aroused themselves from their virtuous slum* hers and clustered about the New Tot statesman listening with admiratl^ to his impressive words.

Palmer who was among the drowued. Great preparation bad been made for the cer* emony, as the groom is the son of aa English Barouot aud a member of lha British Legation here. It was gener­ ally presumed that the marriage would* ,• be postpoued, after tho news of tha* Sad disaster reached here, but it waa< not. The arrangements were changed*, however, and the wedding was sirictljp- prlvate.

OL1VK.. ; 10"The old maxim, *'Ile chaste and you'll be happy," is contradicted point blank by a Black Hills man, who was chased ten miles, recently,hy a party of redskins* The honors aud emoluments of office present little attraction to tba> reflect!tg mau whan he considers- tht mortification and vexation that attend aspirations for political pos!~ tion. After a long life of political ex­ perience, In which pleasures of succesa as well as pains of defeat were perienced, an aged statesman declare* the pursuit of office nothlug but vanttp aud vexation of spirit.

TJlden contended for tha ottoo and was defeated directly'ar Indirectly by the people, aud the result is ha la little better than an imbecile.
