They (the Democrats) started a scandal ou James G. Blaine. What has it brought out Testimony from every quarter from persons who were with Mr. and Mrs. Blaine in Kentucky, from Democrats and Ttepublicans, telling the story of a young man and woman who
WBT'J
lovers and
were married and who have lived a happy life and rejoice in the parentage of young men and women who are adornments of the circles in which they move. They (the Democrats) started a.slander on Grover Cleveland. What has it brought out? Testimony from Grover Cleveland's friends only lhat his friends threw the mother of his illegitimate Bon into an asylum.
When Mr. Blaine first heard of the hbel in the Indianapolis Sentinel he telegraphed:
I have just now received the atrocious libel •f the Indianapolis Sentinel. The story is ut'rly and abominably false iu every statement and in every implication. Political slanders I do not stop to notioe, but this editor assailB the honor of my wife and children. I desire ou without an hour's delay to employ proper attorneys and have the responsible publisher of the Sentinel snecl for libel in the United 8tatee court of Indiana. It iB my only remedy, and I am sure honorable Democrats, alike with hoqorf"'" ^publicans, will justify
me in defending the honor of my family, if need be, with my life. George William CurtiB wrote in last week's Harper's Weekly:
The proposition to repel the charges against Mr. Cleveland by retorting in kind upon Mr. Blaine is intolerable.

Springfield Union. The campaign in Indiana has opened. One editor calls another "a bald-headed snipe, whose miserable carcass is afoul insult to the earth it fattens on." The charge of bald-head-edness is one that should not be made except after a very careful investigation. A good man's character for hair should not be lightly impugned.
The American Duel Abroad.
Galveston News. "What is called the American duel has received a set-back in Bavaria. A student who had an affair of honor and drew the short straw, which' required him to send a bullet through his own brain within twenty-four hours, was seen some days later. "Why, Mr. Lonmouth, w« thought you had shot yourself!" evclaimed an acquaintance. "Well, you see, 1 fired," ho replied, "but I am not a good shot."
No Old Sam Didn't Do It.
New York Sun. Who can look upon the disordered and deplorable stato of the Democratic party as it appears to-day, leoderless und broken as it is, and say that this is the work of Samuel J. Tilden? To our mind it seems the result of imbecility and presumption rather than the wisdom of the statesman who so recently led the party to a most glorious victory. Some things show their character and origin on the surface and this is one of them.
SARAH BEBNHARDTS FADING CHARMS.
"Ces Messieurs" No Longer Attracted by the "Spider of the Stage." Baris Letter to the Argonaut.
Sarah Bernhardt herself promised to collect at the Salon the other afternoon, and a greal crowd went to see her. At the last moment, however, nerves or rehearsals or another lawsuit prevented her appearing, and the artists who had paid their live francs for admission (it was Friday, the "swell" day) had to content themselves with basking in the radiance shed by Emilie Broisat and eeveral other stars of the Comedie Francaise. For my part, had I been a man, I should not have murmured. There's not a Bweeter, more charming woman on the stage than Emilie Broisat. And—hardly excepting Madeline Brohan at her best— a more perfect lady ever graced the boards. She knows how to dress for one thing, and never makes the mistake of dressing a lady character otherwise than as a lady should do. Every one' who has seen "La Monde on I'on s'Ennuie" remembers the charming white satin, cut a la 1830, which she wore therein. On this occasion at the Salon, even her bitterest rival (if she has such a one) could not denj but that her polonaise of myrtle-green silk, looped up overs golden bronze kilted skirt and gilt bonnet decorated with Persian lilac, was quite in character. Osct.r Wild's bride, in her tea leaf and turquoise trailing gown, looked far more "stagy," for the dark green, rick brown and pink mauve hormonized as precisely as the various shades in the Princess de Metternich's shot silk costume. The wife of the ex-Ambassador is fond of revisiting the scones other foitner triumphs, and happened to be in Paris at the time. Years passed over licr, but the noble lady retains a wonderful youtlifulnesB, and is as good-looking at fifty-five as she was plain at twentyfive.
Sarah does not make so -i a spider as some others. To begin with, though behind the foot-lights she is a6 seauctive as ever, seen in the cruel glare of a glass house, like Palais de l'Industrie, she lacks freshness—and ccs messieurs are hard-hearted if their visual sense derives no pleasure out of their charity. The best of all queteuses I know—and on this point my male friends seem quite of my opinion—is unquestionably Judic. Her eyes, her 9rms, her hand, her voluptuous smile, are irresistible. Each deluded fly, of course, thinks the glance is for him alone, the smile for him alone, the manner of approaching him peculiarly and exceptionally sweet. This is true art, and only great artists possess it. Judic is an artist from the top of her fascinating head to the sole of her pretty foot.
Belftin and. French Artists. Boston Transcript. The Belgians are now, it appears, becoming jealous of the French artists. The Patriot de Bruxelles complains that member of the organizing committee are in Paris arranging for pictures for the triennial exhibition, to open at Brussels in September says that this compromises the dignity of the Belgian school has a suspicion that certain engagements are entered into in return f.i«- the promise of pictures inquires if the choice places, the medals and the decorations, so generously distributed each year to strangers, and especially to the French, do not give color to this supposition and, finally, wants to know is the pictures chosen in Paris are to be exempt from the examination of the jury of admission asks if the_ same visits are made to London, Vienna, and Berlin, and why they are only made to Paris.
Actors' Earnings Last Century. London World. An item in Mr. Julian Marshall's library on Bale at Messrs. Sotheby s, affords an opportunity for seeing the payments made to actors at Convent Garden Theater in 1740-41. I notice that Rvan received 25s a night, Delane 30s, Cibber 20s, Hippisley 20s, Denoyer 3tw Lalange 30s, Halltm 23s 4d, Rich 16s 8d. Of the gentler sex, Barbanni got 42s, Horton 303, Woffington 17s 6d, Rowland 13s 4d, Bellamy 10s. Compare these payments with present-day prices. A popular Thespian now gets for a single performance as large a sum as his forefathers obtained for a whole season. For instance, Mme. Judic contract for 210 coming performances in the states will bring her £42,000. M, Capoul is also to receive £80 a night, M. Baron £40.

The Penalty of Ambition the Subject of the Sunday School LesRon.
THB SUNDAY SCHOOL
Lesson for August. 17—Subject: The Penalty of Ambition—11. Sam. xiit-21-33.
Absalom had all ihe external qualities which should have made a prosperous, us.ful, and happy life. He inherited the beauty which seems to have belonged to the family of Jesse, aDd was in this respect the pride and flower of the nation. To this manly beauty was added a manly grace and bearing wbich easily won all her.rts, and a strong will which made him easily a master of men of weaker mold. But the possibilities of his career were destroyed and his life converted iuto a terrible tragedy by his selfish and unscrupulous amitition. He coveted his father's throne.and set himself deliberately to work to undermine his father's authority. He courted all complainants, flattered all who imagined they suffered from neglect at court, and was not unlike the shrewd politician working with the kickers of to-day. With this condescension he coupled a show of magnificence. He affected royal state and drove in great chariots. His designs succeeded, and when the time was ripe he went th Hebrou undei pretext of a pilgrimage and set up his banner there. The revolt was formidable at first because David was unprepared for it. The king was dismayed and broken-hearted at the revelation of treason in his own family. It is not necessary to traca the progress of the rebellion or retell the story of the lost battle in the foreBt of Epliraim, where Absalom lost his life and his followers were completely routed. David's veterans of the Ammonite ware were familiar with the interlacing thickets characteristic of the wild trans-Jor-danic region. The troops of Absalom lost their way. Absalom riding at full speed on his royal mule, snddenly met a detachment of David's army, and, darting aside through the wood, was caught by the head, according to Josephus, was entangled by his long hair between the thick bows of an overhanging tree, and there remained suspended.' None of the ordinary soldiers ventured to attack the helplesb prince. Joab took the responsibility of breaking Jacob's orders to spare his life. He and his ten attendants formed a circle around the gigantic tree, and first by their pikeB and then by their swords accomplished his death. Hard by was a well-known pit of great size Into it the corpse was thrown. Alike among Mohammedans, Jews and Chris tiann the name of Absalom is forever covered with infamy. Mussulman legends represent hell as yawning beneath the feet of the wicked prince to receive him at the moment of his death and the modern Jews as they pass the monument in the valley of Kidron, to which they have given his name, have buried its sides deep iu the stones which they have thrown against it in execration.
Commenting on this Lyman Abbott says: "There is a natural ambition: the instinctive desire of a man, conscious of powers within him, for a field wherein they may have full exercise. There is a noble ambition: the desire of a man possessing great powers to use them in great service of his fellow men. But ambition, in the ordinary senBe of that term, is one of the most despicable as it is one of the most dangerous of vices. Its etymology indicates its base character. Latin ambitio: a going round, especially of a candidate for office to solicit votes in Rome. This ambition is self-seeking. It is despicable because it dethrones God, abolishes humanity, and makes self he center of the universe. It reverses the order of nature and of God, and seeks not to become a servant of humanity, but to make humanity a servant of self. It is doubly despicable, because it is always a iiar, anit under great pretense of serving others hides its own sellservice. It has heen the bane of church and state in all ages, and is so still. In the church it lovos the chief places in the synagogues, and to be called a rabbi. In the state it corrupts the public service, maintains 'to the victors belong the spoils',' and joins in every campaign for the booty which it proa ises. It deserves the death wbich Absalom met and not till the execration which all nations feel toward him burns agasnst all his followers in our 'national, state, and village politics shall we have a purified civil service, clean caucuses, or a fair vote and an honest count. Waich in thine own heart the first hint of this spirit whose appearance in heaven turned an angel of light into Satan, and made possible hell, and destroy it as you would destroy the serpent whose venom is certain death." £hurcti Notex.
U. B. CHUBCH.—The Rev. Mather, of Prairieton, will conduct services at the United Brethren church this morning. In the evening the Rev. Moore, of Pennsylvania, will preach. Sunday school at 2 p. m.
CENTRAL PBKSBYTERIAN CHURCH.— A former pastor of the church, the Rev. E. W. Abbey, of Hamilton, Ohio, will occupy the pulpit both morning and evening.
CENTENARY M. E. CHURCH.—The Rev. Alfred Kummer, pastor. Morning subject "Faith and Work." In the evening a special1 sermon will be preached to young men, on the subject, "The Lost Young Man." Miss Cecelia Eppinghousen will assist the choir in tbe evening.
CHRISTIAN CHURCH.—"Paul's Chapter en Charity" will b9 the subject of the Rev. Bieeden's subject this morning. The lecture on "Man's Place" recently delivered at Bethanv Park assembly bv Prof. John Donaldson 'will be repeated this evening. The pastor desires a large attendance.
EPISCOPAL CHURCH.—Tenth Sunday after Trinity. 8 a. m. Early celebration. 9 a. m. Special musical services." 10:30 a. m. Full service and rmon. 2:30 p. m. Sunday school evening prayer. 8 p. m. Even song and sermon.
The special musical services to fee held at 9 a. m. cannot fail to be of interest. Three hundred musicians have been arranged for and the solemnity of the music from three hundred instruments in tbe great auditorium will be awe-inspiring. The Mail of yesterday strongly opposes the attendance of musicians at church in uniform. It should bear in mind the fact that the raiment don't make the man and that we are all from the same Creator. In answer to the Mails talk Mr. Breinjg writes the following
CARD.
An article in yesterday's Mail in attempting to make derision of the special Bervice for the bands at St. Stephen's church at 9 this morning, did great injustice to Dr. Delafield, as well as to the visiting musicians who have honored us with their presence at tbe tournament. The plain facts are that several of the bands stated before comimr that they wished to attend church during Sunday, and in accordance with their request a committee of the Ringgold waited on Dr. Delafield and asked if he could hold a special service at 9 o'clock at his church. He kindly consented for which we felt very grateful. We had had no thought of creating a sensation in such a matter. We did not and do not intend having music on the streets till 1 o'clock when we start to the fair gronnds.
We hope out of respect to our visitors and for the reputation of our city, that no liberal minded citizen can object to musicians attending church if they so ddsir6*

Tell my mother not to weep for me Nor think that I am dead, For I'll come creeping home again,
And sneak right ofi to bed. For we fought the battle bravely, And when the day was done Full many a boy lay doubled up,
And I the sickest one. And weeping in the orchard grass Were boys of all degrees, .11 The peaches in their writhing forms
The last of many trees. But one was young, and filled himself With peaches to the brim Dire misery marked him for his own,
Alas! and I was him.

Dreams and Dreamers. fj^|
Harper's Weekly. Dreams are in the mam referred by the savage either to *he entrance into him of some outside spirit as among the Feejeeans, who believe that the spiiit of a living man will leave the body to troiible sleeping folk—or to the real doings of himself.
When the Greenlander dreams of hunting or fishing, or courting, he beiie/es that the soul quits the body the Dyaks of Borneo think that during sleep the soul sometimes remains in tbe body or travels far away, being endowed, whether present or absent, with conditions which in waking moments are lacking. Wherever we find a low state of mental development, the like belief exists. In Mr. Thurn's elaborate work on the Indians of Guiana we have corroborative evidence the more valuable because of his""* freshness. He tells us that the dreams which come to the Indian are to him as real as any of the events of hie waking life. To him dream acts and waking acts differ only in one respect, namely, that the former are done only by the spirit, the latter are done by the spirit in its body. Seeing other men asleep, and afterward hearing from them the things which they suppose themselves to have done when asleep, the Indian has no difficulty in reconciling that which he bears xfcitli the fact that the bodies of thesleitfjpers were in his sight and motionless throughout the time of supposed action, because he never questions that the spirits, leaving the sleepers, played their part in dream adventures.
In the Scandinavian Vatbsd&la Saga there, is a curious account of three Finns who were shut up in a hut for three nights, and ordered by Ingimund, a Norwegian chief, to visit Iceland, and inform him of the line of the country where be was to settle. Their bodies became rigid, and they sent their souls on their errand, and on their awakening, at the end of three days, gave an accurate account' of the Vatnsdal, in which Ingimund ultimately dwelt. No wonder that in mediaeval times, when wiches swept the air and harried the cattle, swooning and other forms of insensibility were adduced in support of the theory of soul absence, or that we find among savages—as the Tajalt of the Luzon Islands—objections to waking a sleeper, lest the soul happens to be out of the body. As a corollary to this belief in 6oul absence, fear arises lest it be prolonged to the peril of tbe owner, and hence a rough-and-reidy theory of the cause of disease is framed, for savages rarely die in their beds.
That disease is a derangement of functions, interrupting their natural action, and carrying attendant pain as its indication, could not enter the head of the uncivilized and indeed among ourselves a cold or fever is commonly thought of as an entity in the body which has stolen in, and having been caught, must be somehow expelled. With the univerisal primitive belief in spiritual agencies everywhere inhaled with the breath or swallowed with the food or drink, all diseases were regarded as their work, wbetber. as remarked above, through undue absence of tbe rightful spirit or subtle entrance of some hostile one. If these be the causes to which sicknesses are due, obviously tbe only cure is to get rid of them, and hence the sorcerer and the medicine-man find their services in request in casting out the demon by force, or enticing him by cajolery, or in bringing back the truant soul.
Danger in the Postal Note. Detroit Post.
1
A well-known publisher is now lying seriously ill from the effects of arsenical poisoning caused by contact with the new postal notes. The gentlemen has been in the habit, when in a thoughtful mor»d, in rubbing his chin with his forefinger and thumb, and latterly he noticed a small, angry sore had formed there. He paid little attention to it, Ijjowever, and continued the practice utitil a day or two ago, when he was taken suddenly ill with the most alarming symptoms. His body swelled to enormous proportions, and it was feared for days that his malady would terminate fatally. The physician in attendance, after consulta tion with the patient, decided that tbe poisoning was the result of his handling the postal notes when his fingers were wet or moist, and thus rubbing off some of the green coloring on the back. A poetoffice official states that several cases of the same nature have occurred among the postal employes, since the noteahave been in use, and a number of Complaints have also been received from the government regarding it.

Philadelphia Press. Talking in verse was one of the amusements introduced at a Paris dinner the other day, in revival of an old custom. The exercise lasted but a quarter of an hour, during which some very pretty and ingenious speeches were made. The French heroic metre is not very difficult for improvisation, but it is not so easy as the Hiawathan measure, and not much more so than that other trochaie measure in which tbe alternate verses aro catalectic and rhymed. Why should not talking in rhyme becomes a pastime for the ready tongued and ready-witted American women
A Unique Work of Art. A South Boston gentleman has received a very unique present from a lady in Kitrill, N. C. It was two figures made of cotton gather at Kitrill, one representing "John Anderson, my Joe John,"theother his f#thful spouse. John iB enveloped in hiB plaid, arranged in natural aud grateful folds, and the lady is smiling benignly, and invoking "blessings on the frosty pdw" of her companion. There is a repoBe about John quite artistic, and, if modeled in clay, would do even more credit to the.fair artist. The couple will probably be put in' the fair in the Mechanics' building in the fall.

It makeB no difference what business you are engaged in whether you area preacher, a merchant, a mechanic, a lawyer or a common laborer, you can't do yonr work well while you are half sick. Thousands try to, but all in vain. How much better to keep your organs in good order by taking Parker's Tonic when you feel "a little out of sdrts." It would be money in your pocket. One hour of good rejoicing health is worth half a dozen hours full of languor and pain.

Rev. Father Wilds'
EXPERIENCE. ~'i The Rev. Z. P. Wilds, well-known dty missionary tn New York, and brother of the late eminent Judge Wilds, of the Massachusetts Supreme Court, write* as follows: 78 S. 64th St., New York, May 16,1882. MESSBS. J. C. Aybr& Co.. Gentlemen:
Last winter I was doubled with a most uncomfortable itching humor affecting more especially my limbs, which itched so intolerably at night, and burned so intensely, that I could scarcely bear any clothing oyer them. I was also a sufferer from a severe catarrh and catarrhal cough my appetite was poor, and my system a good deal run down. Knowing the value of AYEB'S SABSAPABILUL, by observation of many other cases, and from personal use in former years. I began taking it for the above-named disorders. My appetite improved almost from the first dose. After a short time the fever and itohing were allayed, and all signs of irritation .of the skin disappeared. My catarrh and cough were also cured by the same means, and my general health greatly improved, until It is now excellent. I feel a hundred per cent stronger, and I attribute these results to the use of the SABSAPAKILLA, which I recommend with all confidence as the best blood medicine ever devised. I took it in small doses three times a day, and used, in all, less than two bottles. 1 place these facts aV your service, hoping their publication may do good.
Yours respectfully, Z. P. WILDS." The above instance is but one of the many constantly coming to our notice, which prove the perfect adaptability of AYEB'S SABSAPARILLA to the cure of all diseases arising from impure or impoverished blood, and a weakened vitality. J."" ^.-swr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla cleanses, enriches, and strengthens the blood, stimulates tho action of the stomach and bowels, and thereby enables the system to resist and overcome tbe attacks of all Scrofulous Ditiases, Eruptions of the Skin, Rhewr Mafism, Catarrh, General Debility, and all iisorders resulting from poor or corrupted Kood and a low state of the system.

tliHE reports from the use ofHwift's SpeJ_ cifle (S. 8. 8.) in the treatment of Cancer continue to be wonderful. There seems to be no doubt that It Is a positive specific for Skin .Cancer or Epithelioma. "For twenty years I suffered from a Cancer on my neck. 'Patent Potash and Mercury Mixtures' fed instead of curing the Cancer. 1 lost the use of my arms and the upper part of my body. My general health was broken down, and my life was despaired of. S. 8. 8. cured me sound aird well. This new lease of life it gave to me cannot be measured by any monetary value. I owe my life and the support of my family to Swift's Specific."
