Dot when the landlord had pone) the do aul! appeared to be very nneasy, calkin j about the room sniping at eTeiythinp. and whining as tbouii h atronely mistrusted that a!l was not well. He seemed particularly suspicious of the bed. WheceTer his roaster approached it be would seize his parmenta ia his teeth and endeaTor to drae him away. With new to testire the suspicions aroused by the do'a aetion. the drover seized aheary billet of wood from the open Cre-place and cast it with 11 his strength ur-on the center of the couch. Instantly the mattress disappeared from sight through a hole in the floor communicating with the cellar below, and at the ssme time the traveler could hear the exultant cries of the landlord and his family at the thought that they had ba?ed their came. Net a moment was to be lost Throwing open the window. 31axby saw that it was comoarsv tirely but a short distance to the ground, the stories of the old-fashioned inn being very low. "Without hesitating an instant be leaped oat. followed by his faithful do. hearing, meanwhile, tee curses, imprecations and hurrying footsteps of the wretches, who had conspired against his life and against that of how many other travel era God only know. Reaching the stable he fortunately found it unlocked. Throwing himaelf npon the back of his hersd he galloped away in the moon 1 lent just as his would-be murderers ins led from the house ia pursuit Bat, seeing they had come too late, they also devoted their energte to flight, and though Maxby rode as fast riis his horse eould earry him from farm house to farm-house (riving the alarm, yet before the people could turn out en masse the wretches bad rtade coo5 their escape. What finally became of them was never known, their fate being enveloped in a mystery as dens as that surrounding the end of the notorious Bender family who perpetrated many similar deeds in Kansas a few years ago. A thorough investigation of the old inn was made, and many skulls and heaps of bones unearthed in the cellar. As there were alao found facilities for the manufacture of candles on a large scale, and as Gargcy had been famous for a superior quality of that article, which be had been ia the habit of selling to bis neighbors, the significance of the above-mentioned remark of h:s little boy that Maxbr's legs were nice and fat for candles will be readily understood. After Gareey, came a landlord named Widter, and soon after a young farmer, who was returning Lome on the opposite bank of the river from a vi.it to his sweetheart about 12 o'clock one June, eight, saw a boat put off from the neighborhood of the Eagle Tavern, rowed by a man who, when be reached the middle of the stream, lifted a large and seemingly heavy bag from the bottom of his craft and lowered it noiselessly into the water, where it immediately rank from view. That same night a wealthy Hebrew peddler, known to have a great deal of money on hia person, mysteriously disappeared from Widter's, where he had tcken lodging. Some inquiry was made, but the landlord stated that tne peddler had left nis house before daylight in order to reach the next town at an early hour. Though it was generally believed that Widter had murdered the Hebrew, nothing could ever hn proven against him. Removing to the city of Allegheny, he built there, out of his ill-entten trains, a hotel that was considered magnificent at that period. For a time he flourished like the ereen bay tree. Then everything went wronc. His only daughter, a beautiful snd accomplished girl of seventeen years, went to the bad. His sans became loafers and desperadoes. All three of tbem served terms of imprisonment for various crimes, and one was hung in a Southern State for stabbing a man ia A drunken brawL Widter'sUne hotel was destroyed by fire. His wife eloped with his barkeeper and was never heard of afterward. Unable to endure this accumulation of trouble, he himself took to drink, soon dissipated all his property, became a shabby, sliphod drunkard, and finally died in the Allegheny county poorhonje. another striking illustration of the truth of the homely old adage that what comes over the devil's hack is sure to psss out under bis armpit. As postmaster Cheyney and I sat together discussing these things in what vs once the barroom of this interesting old hostelry, mv eyes rested on a quaint old Dutch clock standing in one corner. It was one of those curious old timepieces which tell not only the hours and T"j n t thm ihA tf Vi. sun. moon and tars, and a irreat many other tbiocs besides. 'You aro lookirg at the old cloct," said tho Dostmaster, following my glance. ''It has been here ever since the house was built, having been inherited by Captain Sholes, the builder, from some of his Dutch ancestors. All the various tenanta of this eld stone tavern have felt great pride in its dock, and have male it a point to teen it ia good repair. I had it thorouchly overhauled onir the othr day. There is a musicbox behind the dial, and it yeu wait till the clock strides you will hear it play."

There seems to be a deep-seated tendency in the heart of man to some form of idolatry, to worship some external symbol of the Deity. The people of Israel were constantly falling away from a spiritual service to one grossly material. There was far more exeuse for this thing at this time than afterward, for they had lived in the midst of Egyptian idolatry for many generations, and were now taking their first lessons in the essentials of the worship of the one true God. Moses had been away from tbem in the mount for forty or fifty days, and they knew not what had become of him (Exod. xxxii, 2) They must hare some one to trust, something to embody their idea of Jehovah. There is no evidence of their intention to give up the God of Abraham, and they doubtless attempted to embody their gross conception in the f,rm of an Egvotian deity. It has been generally supposed until recently that the golden calf was made to represent the famous god Apis, the chief deity worshiped on the Nile, in tho person of a sacred bull. But later and better authorities are inclined to think that the Israelites made an image of the god Moloch, that was worshiped in the form of a man with the head of an ox. Bunsen and Geikie iie inclined to this belief, acd Kawllnson, referring to the winged bulls with human heads seen by Abraham iu the further east, suggests that tho emigrants from Chaldea may have clung in all their wanderings to this mystic symbolism of deity, that united the strength of the ox with the intelligence of the man. Verse 8 proves thev held this calf as an emblem of the God who had brought them out of Egypt. HINTS AND HELPS. Some Test Questions. 1. What mount is referred to, and where located on the map! 2. Of what material were the stones, and in what lanzuagn were the commandments written? 3. Did Jlosies know before coming down of the idolatry of the people? 4. Why did they select a calf for an idol? 5. Did they intend to give np Jehovah as their Goal 6. How was the idol made so it eould be burned? 7. Where did they get gold for the idol? 8. What answer did Aaron give for allowing this idolatry! 9. What bold act of Moses against the Israelites? Some Subjects for Class Talks. 1. 'The two tables were in his hand," or carrrire the word of God where we can eee it. 2. ."The writing was the writing of God, "or the grand sense in which the Scriptures are inspired by God. 3. "And Moees'a anger waxed hot," or tbe earnest, bold iiidicnation against sin. -L "And made them drtnk of it." or the value of humiliation and suffering on account of our sin. 5. "Thon hast brought so great a sin npon them," or the re-, sponsioility of the older and stronger to prevent tbe following out of sin. 6. "Who is on the Lord's sideP SPECIAL APPLICATION". 1. With Moses in the Mount Every man called to personal communion with God and to receive from God a law of life. The word cocaine with power to our souls; God's word to us. 2. With Aaron in the Valley While engaged in prayer atul spiritual worship, our lower natures are elamorinc for idols. We must watch and flcht the lower animal nature. 3. There are only Two Sides There can be no neutrals, and Gril has the right to expect his followers to come boldly out on his side. 4. Idols that Ought to be Burned There are idols to-day that Christiana worship. Money, fashion, pleasure, indulgence and prid are as bad as the golden calf.

Hellclous Notes. The Reformed Dutch Church has officially indorsed the Society for Christian Endeavor movement. Dr. Joseph Parker has just completed nineteen years of pastoral service in City Temple, London. Snurceon has recently borne loving testimony to the influence which his mother had in sbapinc his character and life. Se;s: Better fail a thousand times, and fail in ever j" thing els, than to attempt to shape for yourself a life without God, without hope to Chrifct, and without an interest in heaven. Tbe Moravian report for the past year 29.2S3 communicants in their mission fields with a total of 83. OoJ persons under the care of their missionaries. The total receipts were $35,345. Mrs. Dr. Smith, of Newark N. J., has contributed 312. COO for the purpose of constructing a "rday hons'' for the n?e of children of jhat city who havB no place but the streets to play iu. Hartford Religious Herald: If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life h will snon find himself alone. A pi.-.n should keap his friendship in constant repair. Dr. Talmage: A religion that educates the ignorant aud blesses the poor and elevates the inoraU of a city is good enoneh religion for this wirli, and 1 think will havo a brilliant prospect fcr the next. Dr. Phillip Scbaff, who is brod, was present at tbe eighth centennial of Hologna University as representative of tbe University of New York He will remain abroad and attend the Iin-Prenbytean Couuctl to be held in England early :a July. The Lutheran Church is doing grand work and achieving wonderful success in America. In 1S70 the number of communicants in that denomination in tbis count rywas less than 400,000. Now there are over 1.000.000. For the last half dozeu years Rhode Island is believed on good authority to have maintained the hiphest divorce rate east of the Mississippi. Led by the committee recently appointed by the P. E. Church, the Christians of Rhod Island expect to briug such pressure to bear upon tho next Legislature that a radical reformation will be ejected. Th-cJore L. Cuyler: God's house is not the p'ace to make aehmg heads: it is the place to heal aching hearts. The most outrageous nonsense that is current in theological seminaries is tht which deludes young men into the folly of aiminsr at profound and philosophic treatise for the pulpit. The Cbriftian Observer, states the limits of Sabbath occupations in tho words: "Excepting works of necessity and mercy, use the whole time in such restful occupations as cultivate or express love to God and confer spiritual benefit on fellow-men. to the exclusion of all secular thoughts or earthly pleaiures." The Presbyterian, of Philadelphia, in an editorial on the recentehange of time limit in the Methodist Episcopal Church, after a tribute to the power the itineracy of Methodism has been, exure-ses its sorrow at the chanre of time, and confee5 that the itineracy has been the soal towards which some Presbyterians have ben working. Dr. Donald Frazr says there are more Presnytertan cngrgations"in France than in Ireland, and more in Wales than in either There are 1.500 in the Netherlands, 2,000 iu Hungary, wnil the church is wU represented in Belgium, liohemia, Moravia. Spain, Italy and Switzerland. In the United States ana Canada there are 13,000 congregations connected vith the Church. Joseph Parker. Intellectually tha idea of Go J is a great idea. It enters the mind as sunlight would startle a man who is piorine alone a path that overhangs abysses ia tb midst of starless gloom. The idia of God cannot enter into the mind and minz'.e quietly with common thmkintr. Wherever that idea goes it carries with it revolution, elevation, supremacy.

Facte Cleanert About the City by Charles Dudley Warner Daring; a Brief Visit. Jnly Ilsrper. When we come to the capital of Indiana we have, in official language, to report progress. One reason assigned for the passing of emigrants through Indiana to Illinois was that the latter was a prairie country, more easily subdued than the more wooded region of Indiana. Hut it is also true that the sluggish, illiterate character of its early occupants turned aside the stream of Western emigration from its borders. There has been a great deal of philosophic speculation upon tbe acknowledged backwardness of civilization in Indiana, its slow development in institutions of education, and its slow change in rural life, compared with its sister States. But this concerns us less now than the awakening whieh is visible at the capital and in some of the northern towns. The forests of hard timber which were an early disadvantage are now an important element in the State industry and wealth. Recent development of coal-fields and the discovery of natural gas have given an impetus to manufacturing, which will powerfully stimulate agriculture and traffic, and open a new career to the State. Indianapolis, which stood still for some years in a reaction from real estate speculation, is now a rapidly improving city, with a population of about 125,000. It is on the natural highway of the old National Turnpike, and its central location in the State, in the midst of a rich agricultural district, has made it the center of fifteen railway lines, and of active freight and passenger traffic These lines are all connected for freight purposes by a belt road, over which pass about 5,000 freight ears daily. This belt road also does an enormous business for the stockyards, and its convenient line is rapidly filling ud with manufacturing establishments. As a consequence of these facilities tbe trade of the eity in both wholesale and retail houses is good and increasing. With this increase of business there has been an accession of banking capital. The four national and two private banks have an aggregate capital of about three millions, and tbe clearing-house report of 1SS7 showed a business of about one hundred millions, an increase of nearly fifty per cent over tbe prece Jing year. But the individual prosperity is largwly due to the building and loan associations, of which there are nearly one hundred, with an aggreeate capital of seven millions, the loans of which exceed those of tho banks. Tbeso take the place of savings-banks, encoursce tbe purchase of homesteads, and are preventive of strikes and labor troubles in the factories. The people of Indianapolis call fheir town & park city. Occupyine a level plain, its streets (the principal ones with a noble width of ninety feet) intersect each other at right angles; but in the center of the city is a Circle Park of several acres, from which radiate to tbe four quarters of the town avenues ninety feet broad that relieve the monotony of the rieht lines. These streets are for the most part well shaded, and retting to be well paved, lined with pleasant but not ambitious residences, so that the whole aspect of the city is open and agreeable. The best residences are within a few squares of the most active business streets, and if the city has not the distinction of palaces, it has fewer poor and shabby quarters than most other towns of its size. In the Circle Park, where now stands a statue of Governor Morton, is to be erected immediately the soldiers' monument, at a cost of $250,000. The city is fortunate in its pnblie buildings. Tbe county court-house (whieh eost $1,600,000) and the City Hall are both fine buildings; in the latter are the city markets, and above, a noble auditorium with seats for 4,000 people. But the State Capitol, just finished within the appropriation of $2,000,000, is pre-eminent among State capitols in many respects. It ia built of the Dedford limestone, one of the best materials both for color and endurance found in the country. It follows the American plan of two wing6 and a dome; but it is finely proportioned; and the exterior, with rows of graceful Corinthian columns above the basement story, is altogether pleasing. The interior is spacious and impressivs, the chambers fine, the furnishing solid and in good taste, with nowhere any overornamentation or petty details to mar the general noble effect. The State Library contains, besides the law booKs, about 20,000 miscellaneous volumes. When Matthew Arnold first came to New York the place in the West about which he expressed the most curiosity was Indianapolis; that he said he must see, if no other city. He had no knowledge of the place, and could give no reason for bis preference except that the name had always had a fascination for him. He found there, however, a very extensive bookstore, where his own works were sold in numbers that pleased and surprised him. The shop has a large miscellaneous stock, and does a large jobbing and retail business, but the miscellaneous books dealt in are mostly cheap reprints of Eneiish works, with very few American copyright book3. This is a significant comment on tbe languishing state of the market for works of American authors in the absence of au international copyright law. The citv is ne t behind any other in educational efforts. In its five free publio libraries are over 70.000 volumes. The city has a hundred churches and a vigorous Youne Men's Christian Association, which cost $75,000. Its private schools have an excellent reputation. There are 20,000 children registered of school age, and 11,000 in daily attendance in twenty-eight free-school houses. In methods of efficacy these are equal t aay in the Union, as is ehown by the fact that thsre are reported in the city only 323 persons between the ages of six and twenty-oue unable to read and write. The average cost of instruction for esch pupil is $19 C4 a year. In regard to advanced methods and manual training, Indianapolis schools claim to be pioneers. The. lstest reports show educational activity in the State as well as in the capital. Iu lS&o the revenues expended in public schools were about $5,000,000. The State supports the Indiana University at Bloomineton, with about 300 students, the Agricultural College at Lafayette, with over 300, and a Normal School at Terra Haute, with an attendance of about 500. There are, besides, seventeen private colleges and several other normal schools. In 1SSG the number of school children enrolled in the State was 500,000, of whom 346,000 were in daily attendance. To thone familiar with Indianathese firures show a greatly increased interest in education. Several of the State benevolent institutions are iu Indianapolis: a hospital for the . insane, which cost $1,200,000, and accommodates 1,000 patients; an asylum for the blind, which has 132 pupils; and a school for deaf-mutes, which cost $500,000. and has about 400 scholars. The novel institution, however, that I eaw at Indianapolis is a Reformatory for Women and Girls, controlled entirely by women. Tbe board of trustees are women, the superintendent, physician, and keepers are women. In one buildtug, but in seperate departments, were the female convicts, 42 in number, several of them respectable-looking elderly women who had killed their husbands, and about 150 young girls. Tbo convicts aud the girls who are comnr.ttod for restraint and reformnever meet except in chapel, but it is more than doubtful if it :s wiso for the Stat to subject girls to even this eortot contiguity with convicts, and to the degradation of penitentiary suggestions. The establishment is very neat and well ordered and well adiuiuistered. The work of the prison is done by the convicts, who are besides kept employed at sewicsr and in the laundry. The girls in the reformatory work half a day, and are in school the other half. This oxperiraent of the control of a State prison by women is regarded as doubtful by some critics, who say that women will obey a man when they will not oby a woman. Female convicts, because they have fallen lower than men, or by reason of their more nervous organization, are commonly not so eisily controlled as male convicts, and it is insisted that they indulge in less "tantrums" under male than under female authority. This is denied by the superintendent of this priion, though 6he has incorrigible caes who csu only he controlled by solitary confinement. She he a daily religious exercises. Bible reading and exposition, and a Sunday-school; and she doubts ' she could control the convicts without this religious influence. It not only has a dailv quieting effect, but has resulted in several ease in "conversion." There are ia the institution several girls and women of color, and I asked tbe superintendent if the white inmates exhibited any prejudice against them on account of their color. To my surprise, the answer was that the contrary is the case. Tbe whites look up to the colored girls, and seem either to have a rerpect for them or to be fascinate 1 by them. This surprising statement was supplemented bv another, that the influence of the colored girls on the whites la not good; the wiuto giil who tttli the company of tho colored

girl deteriorates, andhe colored girl does not change. Indianapolis, whieh is attractive by reason of a climate that avoids extremes, bas as its manufacturing and its business prosperity npon the large coal beds lyine to tbe west and south of it. the splendid and very extensive quarries of Bedford limestone contiguous to the eoal-fields, the abundant supply of various sorts of hard wood for the making of furniture, and the recent discovery of natural gas. The gas-field region, which is said to be very much larger than any other m the country, lies to tbe northeast, and comes within eight miles of the city. Pipes are already laid to tbe city limits, and the whole heating and manufacturing of the eity will soon be done by the gas. I eaw this fuel in use in a large and successful pottery, where are made superior glazed and encaustic tiles., and nothing could be better for the purposa. The heat in the kilns ia intense; itcan be perfectly regulated; as fuel the gas is free from smoke and smut, and its cost is merely nominal. The excitement over this new agent is at present extraordinary. The field where it h&3 been found is so extensive as to make the supply seem inexhaustible. It was first discovered m Indiana at Eaton, in Delaware county, in 15SS. From Jan. 1. 1887, to February, 1SS3, it is reported that 1.000 wells were opened in the gas territory, and that 245 companies were organized for various manufactures, with an aggreeate capital of $25,000,000. Whatever the figures may be, there are the highest expectations of immense increase of manufactures in Iudianapolis,and in all the gas region. Of some effects of this revolution in fuel we may soeak when we eome to the gas wells of Ohio. Written for the Indianapolis Journal. Heroes Marching On. AirJohm Brown.

OUR HORN 11 LOWERS. Hoxf the Demonstration of Tuesday Impressed a Nervous Visitor from the East. Correspondence Pittsburg Dispatch. Indianapolis is mad, stark, staring. Harrison mad. Tbe business streets are vistas of fiaes and bunting, the show windows decorated with whole pieces of gaudy calico, small flaes fluttering atout doors and awnings, great breadths of red, white and blue bunting hanging in many places from cornice to sidewalk, huge flags waving sluggishly from roof-poles in the slow, hot breeze. Half the private residences in the eity b-3ar some gay tribute to tbe occasion. Carriages go about the streets decorated with flags and streamers. A procession of bicycles wheel about the streets, every machine with red, white and blue ribbons flattering. Even tbe cart horses are wearing flags. Men have flags bound about their hats, fer neckties about their collars and for handkerchief displayed in breast pockets. Women tie beautiful silken banners into 'kerchiefs over white throats, or knot the gay ribbons at their waists or in their hair. Even the children wave little flags, and the babies shake tiny banners from little Carriages over which float other flags. Over, under, around, about and through it all is the ear-harrying, nerve-rasping, peace-blast ing, comfort-killing, mind-destroying, soul-condemning, profanity-breeding, demoniac, merciless, brutal, vile, abominable, utterly infernal sound of tbe tin horn. 3Iiles out of the city the first waves of the awful dm smite with infrequent, feeble, blasts the ears of the incoming traveler, with each mile the horns increase in number and intensity. In the city itself the unceasing, unwavering ageregation of horrid blasts is something terrible. No Eastern city ever knew anything like it. New York would rise in riot against half the infliction. There are litetally thousands of tin instruments scattered all over the city, and all goinc at once. Every small boy has at least one, and often two an extra, in order that he may loso no time, should one break down. Gangs of street arabs have marched all day about the city, blowing horns and beating tin pans and pails. Where tbe organized gang of horn-blowers is not, the individual and isolated boy with the horn is, and is doing his utmost to make up in intensity what be lacks in quantity. Little children, scarcely able to toddle, sit in rows on shady steps, acd placidly toot tin horns hour after hour. Young men gather on streetcorners and blow horns; truck-drivers and cabmen blow horns as they drive about the city; peddlers all have horns to attract attention to their badges, buttons and other Harrison things with which their trays are stocked. Worse still even the women blow horns. Ladies out driving dreams of beauty in shimmering silks or soft linen goods audaciously salute their friends with blasts on the hern. Fair girls, reclining in shady hammocks or low chairs upon the lawns, in loose white gowns, with white arms gleaming through transparent sleeves, and soft throats coyly bare, dainty, refined, bewitching to the eve. raise the tin horn from folds of skirts, place it to ruby lips, and shatter the fascination of admiring passers with blasts that would drive an angel to perdition. Such an awful din upon the streets could never, by any possibility, be allowed in New York, but tome great national fete or famous celebration of some great local event might arouse in New York the display of flags and bunting that is here to-day, but it is not, by any stretch of the imagination, possible to conceive that the conferring of an empty honor upon any private citizen can turn an Eastern city inside out and npsido down, as this city is turned to-day, because Gen. Benjamin Harrison ia nominated to lead his party in a presidential contest The celebration began last night, and this morning reached what to an Eastern mind would have been thought it height, but it has incressed all day. The trains have broueht thousands of people from all sections to swell the throngs in the streets. Political clubs from all the adjacent country have been coming in, marching through the streets with bands, whose music was unheard above the din of the horns. Several hundred persons have come from Chicaeo, mostly delegates, and others, cn thrir way home. They wore caudy decorations, and fill the hotels and streets near them. The zeal of the eitizens seems to grow with each fresn accession of strangers, and the awful boy with tho horribU horn increases and multiplies faster than mosquitoes in a rainy June. Tbe odor of gunpowder, and fire-crackers, and cannon salutes at dusk added itself to the features of the occasion. It is not possible that Harrison, or any other man, could legitimately arouse such general enthusiasm on a strictly political occasion. The only explanation for it is "that Indianapolis has gone mad, downrieht. crazy mad."' To-morrow the citizens will come to their senses and wonder why in thunder they ever made such fools of themselves. EDISON TALKS IN ENGLAND. And Yet the Inventor Is Three Thousand Miles Away from Ills Auditors. London SpUl to New York World. Col. G. E. Gourand, writing from Little Menlo. Upper Norwood, S. E., sars: "At 2 o'clock this afternoon, at above address, I had the honor to receive from Edison bis first perfected phonoersph. which, on the authority of Edison's own statement, in bis own familiar voice communicated to me bv the phonograph itself, is the first instrument of his latest model that has been seen outside hia laboratory, or that has left his hands, and is consequently the first to reach this country. "At 2:05 o'clock precisely my family and I were enjoying at once the unprecedented and astounding experience of listening to Edison's own familiar and unmistakable tones here ia England, more than three thousand miles from the place where he had spoken and exactly ten days after, the vpie having meanwhile voyaged Across the AtlanticVxeaov "HU rti phoncsriis u Edison pau It, tallj

me, among other things of interest, that this instrument contains many modifications of that which was shown at tbe Electrical Club in New York a few weeks ago, and so widely reported by the press in several long phonogramic communications to me. no single word of which had to be repeated la order to be clearly and eaily understood by every person present, including my ehlld, seven yea'rs old. Edison mentions that he will send me phonograms by every mail leaving New York, and requests me to correspond exclusively through the medium of the phonograph, humorously remarking in this conj nection npon the advantage he will himself derive from the substitution of phonographs for the style of writing not always too legible. "Edison has sent, for our amusement, numerous musical records of great interest and beauty pianoforte, cornet and other instruments; solos, duets, etc many of whieh, he tells me, have been frequently repeated several hundred times. Altogether our experiences of to-day have been so delightful and unusual, not to say supernatural, that it would be difflcult to realize that we have not been dreaming, and so interesting withal as to make it seem our duty, as it is a pleasure, to communicate tbe above to your widely-read paper, which I have so frequently observed to chronicle the works cf the author of this nnparelleled triumph of mind over matter. All honor to Edison." CoL Gourand adds the following postscript which may be interesting: "And that the above communication was spoken by me into the phonograph and written from phonograph dictation by a member of my family who bad, of course, no previous experience with the instrument." lie Made a Mistake. Atlanta Constitution. Lord Yol8eley is a gallant soldier and a brainy man, but he has made a mistake in attacking the women. He charges that England is menaced by a greater danger than foreign invasion, and this dancer is the extravaganee of her women. He notices an increasing tendency on the part of women to spend too much of their husbands' income on dress. Lord Wolseley should have qualified his remarks. It will not do to say that women, as a class, spend their husbands' incomes extravagantly, for it is not true. In all countries some women spend too much on dress, but the majority do not spend enough. Then, too, it should be recollected that the extravagance of the rich puts money into circulation and gives employment to the industrious poor.

No other blood medicine so utilizes tbe results of scientific inquiry as Ayer's Sarsaparilla. What a Time People formerly had, trying to swallowtho old-fashioned pill with its film of" magnesia vainly disguising its bitterness ; and what a contrast to Ayer's Pills, that have been well called "medicated sugar-pluins" the only fear being that patients may Le tempted into taking too many at a dose. But the directions are plain and should bo strictly followed. J. T. Teller, M. D., of Chittenango, N. Y., expresses exactly what hundreds have written at greater length. He says: " Ayer's Cathartic Pills are highly appreciated. They are perfect in form and coating, and their effects are all that the most careful physician could desire. They have supplanted all the Pills formerly popular here, and I think it must be long before any other can be made that will at all compare with them. Those who buy your pills get full value for their money." "Safe, pleasant, and certain in their action," is the concise testimony of Dr. George E. "Walker, of Martinsville, Virginia. "Ayer's Pills outsell all similar preparations. The public having once used them, will have no others." Berry, Venable & Collier, Atlanta, Ga. Ayer's Pills, Prepared by Dr. J. C.
