Rules for Itadies Traveling Alone.

1. Before starting on a jouraey,, familarize yourself with the route, and with names of good hotels at various stopping places. 2. Never tiavel with just enough money, but al wavs carry enough to provide for any possible emergency. This will save much anxiety. 3. Wear but little jewelry, and Keep the larger part of your money in some inside pocket, out of sight (the trouble of t’e lady lately taken from a train by two ruffians on the pretense that she was Insane, came partly from wearing valuable jewelry.) 4. Always look after yourself, and do not allow a stranger to procure your tickets or checks for your baggage. 5. Avoid, if possible, making changes in car bv night, but, when unavoidable, go with others. Do not. become separated from the crowd. 6. Take no hacks, but go in an omnibus, where there are other people. These are perfectly safe. 7. If in any doubt as to changing cars, checking baggage, etc., inquire in advance of the conductor. The conductors on our trains are always polite and willing to be of service, especially to women traveling alone. 8. Do not wait until about to make some change in train before enquiring of the conductor, for ten to one, he will then be hurried and you will only half inform yourself. 9. Under all circumstances, endeavor to retain presence of mind. One who can do this will have no trouble in traveling, and instead of its being unwise for women to travel alone, I think it an advantage for them to make trips alone, for there are few people who are not at times obliged to do so, and experience does away with much of the possible danger in traveling. The Lafayette Journal, one of the “stalwart” Republican papers of the State, freely admits its chagrin at the cipher dispatch exposures concerning the election in Indiana in 1876. It says: “If Mr. Wolcott, and his partner • in that transaction, were not the Smith arrangement, for which $5,000 was paid just a week before tho election, who were? * * * In the name of the Republicans of In diana we denounce and repudiate the whole thing.” It was Mr. Tyner, the present Post Master General, in fact, and Mr. Foster, the minister to Mexico, and the leading Republicans, generally. of the State, who were mixed up with this attempt to buy the Nationals and to buy the voters of the State. The people should not forget that the “Smith Arrangement” meant money to purchase the votes of the Nationals, and as a matter of fact. Anson Wolcott, the Greenback candidate for Governor, actually did attempt to turn the vote* of hie party over to the Republicans as all our readers will remember, This shows how the “Smith Arrangement” worked. There is a “Brown Arrangement” spoken of m the dispatches. This meant the purchase of the Indianapolis Sentinel and changing it to a Republican or Greenback paper. “Two Indian Agents” meant ten thousand dollars for a general corruption fund to be used in the State. Foster, Tyner, Brady and the whole crowd of Republican manager* are tarred with this cipher dispatch stick. Science has accomplished no more wonderful or gratifying remttt- than the perfection of an antidote to the chilling signs of approaching age, something to obliterate the the telltale tracks of time and preserve the natural adornments of youth to ripe old age. Hall’s Hair u renewer does all this, and its praise resounds in ©ottage and palace. Th© dwellers among the snows of Norway and the peasants of sunny France and Spain, find use for it, and find means to get it, and it does not disappoint them. The whitening locks again resume their youthful color, the thin, dry, and faded hair becomes bright and glossy. The whole appearance is changed as if by magic, and the man or woman, who. before was called aged, now appears as one in the prime ot life. Such wonderous changes cannot pass unnoticed, and they have produced th* unprecedented demand that now exists for the first and only Article ever compounded that can produce them in a pleasing and satisfactory manner.— HZi-n----ois New Era.

The attention of the public is invited to the Adamantine Pavement, as an article deserving special consider ation. This pavement is a Portland Cement Beton, which, though soft and plastic when laid, solidifies into a stone of great hardness, suroassing many of the best natural stone, in strength, density and durability. It is moulded cn the walks in b'.ocks of any form, size and thickness, which do not combine and Interlock, and may, if desked, be taken up and relaid like ordinary flagstone. From its plastic nature it may be laid on curved and irregular walks, with the same facility as on straight ones, and without that waste of material and extra expense that pertains to the fitting of stone. It may be made al most as white as marble, or tinted to imitate blue, brown and other sand stone. It is ric/i, elegant, durable and cheap. The most desirable pavement yet introduced for either private grounds or public sidewalks. It has a wide and varied application, and numerous testimonials can be furnished from those who have practically tested ils merits. Walks that have been in use five years are as level, sound and perfect to-day as when just finished, and to all appearance will last a century. Inquiries and orders respectfully solicited.
