WEDNESDAY, JUNK 27.

There is $."TC 1,352,312 Treasury, ia the United States Luxatics are to hare York called the Moon. an organ in New Easter capitalists, it is said, contemplate fitting up a grand Theater in Mammoth Care, Kentucky. The National Lifeboat Association of England Eared nearly 1.C00 Uvea within the last twelve months. Fkom 187G to 13S2 sir years the briw-rs of San Francisco manufactured and so'.d 1337,349 barrels of beer. . A max by the name of Mason, recently released from a New York Penitentiary, has threatened to assassinate Secretary Folger. Th Boston Poet remark? that "the bitter onslaught which the Republican press is making upon 'the old ticket' fihows how thoroughly they fear iL" A Wasbisötos letter eays that Ohio has over l,COO applications on file In the Foiteffice Department for positions worth from $300 to $1,000 annually. It is found that the EDglish sparrow, when properly prepared for the table, is a great delicacy. The fact well established, and away goes the sparrow. A ICew York letter says women of that city dress to match their dog?, whine color we presume being the popular shade. The eale of boo' jacks this year was 01,00) lees than the year before, which suggests the query: Is this country going to bed with her boots on? A Jinx,! of the Supreme Court of Mississippi finds it necessary to deny that he applied to a railroad cfUcial for a pass for himself and family. "Matters are coming to a pretty pass," as it were. Ay exchange tells of a tramp who, when refused food at a house the other day, sidly said: "Misses, will you please give me a piece of looking-glass so that I can see myself starve to death." The Rechester Union remarks that "a chain is only as strong as it3 weakest link," and that "a political party is no better than its worst representative." Hence the Republican party is no better than Dorsey. Somw one ought to call a bait in the mit ter of Eible revision since som.3 of the learned translators have found that C, ypsici instead of rarem fed Elijah. The revisers are getting things terribly mixed up of late. The brewers of the United States produced 17,319.421 barrels of beer of thirty-one gallons each for the year ending May 1, 1833 someticg more than ten gallons per capita for every man, woman and child, in ths country. A WASHiuGTosr letter says: Seventeen Star Route contracts have been awarded to John M. Miner since he has been on trial for robbing the II aited tate3 Treasury. Brady 'and Dersey will now be looking for their little divy from the United States Treasury. NoTwrtHSTAHDisG the ravages of insects in the inner Districts of France, people who can afford to drink pure champagne will be glad to know the stock now on hand is 109,ouu.ooo bottles, or about tne quantity required for five years' consumption all over the world. The woman sufiragists of England are saining strength. A memorial to the Prime Minister is signed bj 108 Liberal members, including the "most cautious Whigs and most gushing Radicals," by a dozen members of the Administration, and by Sir Stafford Northcote and several Conservatives. Thk Springfield Republican, an Independent Republican sheet, remarks that "the Republicans have been through all the dis tress of a great State trial and yet have not got rid of their vermin." If someone would pour coal oil on the Republican dog and sat fire to it the vermin might be exterminated. A writer in Popular Science Monthly says that nine out of ten dyspeptics resort to drugs, and thus stimulate and complicate the disease beyond cure. lie who intends to live has to make up his mind that recovery can not be hoped for till he has not only discontinued the drug, but expiated the burden of sin which the stimulant outrage has added to the original cause of the disease. Nature has to overcome the effects both of malnutrition and malpractice. The drug has compli cated the disease. Doeset is now engaged on hi3 "balance sheet of justice." It will ba interesting to see how the Indiana "high officials" stand when the balance sheet is made public Dorsey should send the document to Mr. W. P. Fisbback, who could doubtless interline a few valuable item. Indiana Democrats and Republicans are anxious to know who the men were that connived at the Penitentiary crime of "bribicg election facials to stuff ballot-boxes and falsify election returns" to carry Indiana for Porter and Garfield. The Republican Club of Washington might have been in much better business than serenading S. W. Dorsey. Troy Times, Republican. And a Republican Cabinet officer might have been in better business tor many months than acting as Dorsey's newspaper advocate. Syracuse Standard, RepublicanAnd a Republican Vice President (now President) might have been in better business than drinking to Dorsey's health at A New Y'ork banqnet, and thanking him for his elective use of "soap" In Indiana. Boston Poet. And Brewster, the old dude, might have been in better business than bleeding the Treasury to pay lawyers more mjney theu Portey ftole. Philadelphia now comes to the front with a monstor by the name of Hathaway in its clutches. Hathaway is an abortionist, and in te cellar of his former residence the po lice have already dug up the skulls and bones cf thirty-one infants and a hundred mere it is expected will bs found. This Dr.

Hathaway, it Is said, kept a pair of ferocious hounds in his cellar, and that these beaati

subsisted holly upon the infant remains thrown to them by the Doctor. After the bones ha J been picked clean by the dogs they were covered np with a little dirt. Now that the horror has come to light, dig ging for bones in the cellar of houses where Hathaway has lived will go forward. It is said by perjons living neu the abortionist, that stylish teams and elegantly dressed ladies were frequently seen at the residence cf the abortionist, and it is now understood that he had a very large practice. The story is replete with horror. Nothing more repetitive could be given to the public. THE QUE3IION OP TARIFF TAX ATION. Tariff taxation, as it has existed in the United States for about a quarter of a cen tury, has been universally recognized as a Republican curse. Its modification or removal has been universally acknowledged as the Democratic policy. Every improvement owes its origin to the Democratic party. Out of power, it has been potent in creating a widespread opposition to the most stupendous iniquities ever practiced upon a free people. "Tariff reform" has been the shibbolitn motto in every campaign, and in spite of money and monopolists, fraud and corruption, forgary and perjury, and all the combined forces which unscrupulous Administrations of the Government could bring to bear against it, the Democratic party has won substantial victories, and now sees its way clear for a grand triamph in 181. We do not disguise the fact that there have been other questions which have exerted a potent influence in convincing the people that the Republican party ought to be retired from power; bat everywhere tariff reform has been the battle cry, and as Democratic journals and statesmen have exposed the iniquities of the Republican curse, the people have rallied to the Democratic standard and helped on Democratic victories. Those who deny such statements, without reference to party affiliations, are imlwilcs. So persistant has been the warefare waged against tha Republican tariff curse, so cogent has been the rea soning, so solid the fact?, so clear and con vincing the argument?, that the most influential organs of the Republican party have been compelled to join with the Democrats in the light Kaimt a tariff which honest men could nut aftord to approve. The Democratic party of Indiana ia so overwhelmingly opposed tj a tariff which creates and maintains monopolies, which taxes the many for tli9 aggrandizsment of the faw, tbat those who favor such a policy are utterly contemptible in numbers, talents and influence. They ere looked upon and regarded as vision tries incapable of grasping facts which relate to the general welfare, or of solvirg problems of statesman ship which call into active exercise ability for the severest analysis and comprehension of far-reaching consequences. In the narrowness of their conceptions the men who advocate a high protective tariffmonopoly tariff; a tariff which taxes the farm to support the factory; which taxe3 labor to enrich bonanza kings are as incapable of legislating wisely as a blue-tailed fly is to soar with an eagle. They are the blind votaries of the lobby. Their ears are attuned to the music of monopoly, and as deaf to the demands of a tax-burdened people as thumbscrews to th9 groans they extort. When Democrats demand that the tariff tax shall be reduced to the lowest practicable point consistent with the expenditures of the Government, to keep the wheels of its machinery in healthy operation. these slaves of monopoly, cringing sycophants of the money power, cry oat "res trade," and that the Democratic policy is t abolish the tar iff J and create universal dis aster. Hitherto this vulgar demagogism has been able to frih'.enj'n laboring men and secure a few votes, but laboring man begin to perceive the trick, they comprehend the chicanery of the?e mnt?: of duplicity and are thickiog and voting for themselves. They have learned that they have been and are still being taxed enor mously, not for their own bsnelit, nor for the good of the Government, but for the support f a set of soulless monopolists, who care no more for them than they do for so many pack mules. Under the cry of "free trade' the monopolists and their henchmen in and out of Congress, workingmen have been persuaded to vote agimt their own in terests, to make the cost of living higher, and that,. too, without a farthing's advance in wages to help them meet the advanced co? On the contrary, working people have learned as soon as their votes have been obtained to create and maintain monopolies, that the screws are put to them for the purpose of reducing wages, and that to live at all they must resort to strikes, and when strikes or labor troubles occur it then transpires that monopolists are prompt to denounce working people as enemies of peace and order, as communists, Nihilists, etc., throughout the whole catalogue of oppro brious epithets. The trouble is they have been the victims of falsehood, deception, demagoguery of the lowest type. They have been hoodwinked and cajoled and made to vote for men who are their sworn enemies, and this has been going forward for years. But, fortunately, working people are waking up. They fail to see why diamonds should be free, while salt, sugar, rice, cloth ing, crockery ware and many other necessi ties are enormously taxed. These overburdened people are listening to the Democratic thunder, "reduce the tax," and they are turning away from the demagogues who have misled and oppressed them. The monopolists and their vassals may shout "free trade," and a "tariff lor revenue only" until they burst, but they will never - again command the blind adherence of the workingmen of America. The Democratic policy is fully Outlined when it is said that the tariff tax must be reduced to the lowest practicable point consistent with the welfare of the largest number of people millions for the Government, but not out dollar as tribute money to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. 1HB REPUBLICAN ÜELIO SOCIETr The Cincinnati Commercial Gszstte employs a writer who signs himself 8. R. R. When S. R. R. wrestles with a subject he floors iL It is understood that the letters P. R. R. refer to the writer's position as Secrtary of the Society having in charge Republican Relics, of which Mr. Mnrat Ilalstead is

FreeioVnt. The Board of Directors, if we are correctly informed, include such distirguisbed Republican! asJ. Madison Wells, lt. B. Heyes, John Sbeimao, 8. W. Dorsey, Judas Bradley and Schuyler Colfax. The purpose of the Society ü to collect anl preserve Republican relics of the various political campaigns through 'Which the Republican party has fashed fciuce it obtained power. John Sherman, it is understood, has contributed a model of the derrick constructed of forgeries, flaues and perjuries which swung R. B. Hayes into office; as als a copy of the docu

ment which contained the rewards offered and paid to the Louisiana Returning Board inr3 for theirefforts to cheat Tilden and Hen dricks out of their offices. A front tooth and a tee nail of Mrs. FAhx Pink! ton is highly prized as a relic. The St. Louis whisky ring is conspicuous and attracts special at tention. The Freed man's Bank deadfall. done in ebony, is a great curiosity. A lock from Mrs. Jenks' wealth of curls is in a little 8x7 box contributed bv Judas Bradley. Dorsry has sent a beautiful diagram of a Star Route with the photo of several Indiana high officials" with exqusite -designs of ttffcd haUot-bores and copies of the election returns "falsified" to elect Porter end Gar field. Jay Hubbell has contributed a iketch showing how he brought down Government employes when he demanded their money. Ex-Speaker Keifer las etut forward the brogans for shining which he charged the Government five cents, end R. B. Hayes has contributed a paper showing Low he avtd from Tilden's salary of i-VM O a year $4S,23Q 27 annually. Chester A. Arthur has handed in the pus cavity through which he crawled into Garfield's office, and the Indianapolis Journal has con tributed a paper from its files announcing tbat Arthur is President "by the act of God." It is also understood that Guiteau's bones will find a resting place in the museum of the Society cf Republican Relics. There will also be found specimens of Blaine's South American guano and saltpeter and an etching showing Coaklinc's march out of the SenatP. followed by Me Too Flatt. But a relic which is specially valued is the great Republican split. The Republican battle crv of New York, "Folger and Forgery," is a beautiful relic and is in a good state of preservation. There are any number of carpet-bags sent up from the South those with burst constitutions, bayoneted Legislatures and broken laws are assigned a special department in the rooms of the Society of Republican Relics. Gov ernor Butler will contribute In due time itwxesDury with a specimen of pauper skin well tanned, and Harvard will send in a pauper stiff from the same institution seien tific&lly ricklcd. It is understood that Schuyler Colfax will contribute a neat little credit mobilier relic with check attached, indicative of, Oakes Ames' ability to place money and stock where it would do the most good. S. R. R., the Secretary of the Repub lican Relio Scciety, has ample leisure while keeping the relics in order to write for the Commercial Gazette, and it is understood tbat at an early day be will contribute sev eral three-column articles, giving the history of the various relics in his custody. S. R. R. can do it it the Commercial Gazette will tupply him with the required writ'ng ma terials. TRIAL BY JURY. The press throughout the country is just now more or less engaged in discussing the Jury system. Objection is made in one quarter to the requirement that the twelve men constituting the Jury shall agree to a verdict. . Others denounce the method in vogue for eelecting Jurors; others would abolish the Jury system entirely, while others maintain that the eystem as it exists is as near right as human wisdom can devise. We are of the opinion that the system of selecting Jurors could be improved readily and materially. As now practiced themethodsofforapremium for ignorance and stupidity, illiteracy end its surroundings. Take for example any case, the more notorious the better, as an illustration, and it will emphasize the declaration that ignorance is in demand when it is to be tried. It should be remembered that this is a newspaper age. The circumstances attending the commission of any crime are widely published. All the factj are at once obtained and sent broad-cart throughout the community. , Discussion is active. Upon such information as the press affords people form and express opinions. Among intelligent men this is universal. Men who read can not avoid iL Nor is it required that they Bhonld. There may be minor offenses which escape criticism, which are of such small importance as to create neither curiosity nor comment, but such 13 not the case where the crime is Importen! and the parties involved, or any of them, are well known in the community. Well, the case is called, and the Court proceeds to impanel a Jury. In the first place the Court ard attorney inquire if the candidate for Jury responsibilities has formed or expressed an opinion in regard to the case. If he has formed or expressed an opinion he is ordered to stand aside, and thus the thing goes on, weeding out men of character and intelligence, until the bed-rock of ignoranca.of matters of the highest importance to scciety is reached, and when the Jury is complete the Court and the people ere permitted to contemplate twelve men who never heard cf the case, or never took any trouble to know any of its particulars; who never entertained nor expressed an opinion about it; who, in fact, know nothing about it, and have at no time cared anything tbout it. Suppose, for instance, a tramp enters the office of the Governor of Indiana and shoots him dead in his chair. The criminal is arrested, indicted and brought to trial. Everybody, one would suppose, had read every particular, and made up their mind as to the atrociousness of the crime. Still, when the trial came on, only those who had neither formed nor expressed an opinion could serve on the Jury. After great delay the required number of citizens Is found. They had never so much as thought or said that the crime was right or wrong. Possibly some of them never heard of it. They did not take the papers possibly they had never learned to read. They took no interest in public affairs, and lived in blissful ignorance of pasting events. There they are in the Jury box. Their ignorance is established beyond all question or cavil; twelve of the most ignorant ard stupid members of society are required to decide intricate questions of law nd evidence, and condemn, or acquit the person charged with the crime, tjulte fre-

quentiy when the verdict is rendered psopls upreta piofound surprise. They appear to

be entirely enable to accoun: for such an exhibition of mental sluggishness, or, as it is feir e times ea:d, viciousness. Tey ssy just ice is outraged as d the law degraded. Sometin e it li asserted that the Jury has been bribed indeed there is no end to finding remes lor the verdict. Bit going back to the fact, that the Jury was inipenelcd brcauie of conf jsi?d igcoianee, what better result could have bssa exfected? A distiajjuished member of the Indiana bar say s the remedy is to refuse all iren a seat in the Jury box who confess they have not formed nor expressed an opinion. At any rate it would be a good idea to try the new departure for a whila and Bee how it wculd work. OlilTUAltY. NES. MART V. STRAUGUVX. "Leaves have their time to fall. And flowers to wither at the north wind's breath. And stars to set but all. Thou hast all seasons I jr thine own, O Death :" We are called upon to chronicle the sudden death of Mrs. Mary V. Straughan, wife of Mr. J. C. Straughan, and eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Shoemaker, of this City. The tad and sudden event occurred yesterday, the -23d inst., at 5 o'clock and thirty minutes p. m., at the town of West Teint, Miss. The deceased was a native of Indiana, born in Perry County in the year 1S1, and was ia the thirty-second year of her age. She leaves two children, a girl and a boy, the former four years and the latter two years of ege. Mrs. Straughan died in child-bed. In that supreme hour when giving birth to a child, when every motherly feeling is aroused and the holiest emotions of the &oul center upon the infant immortal, the mother yields up her fpirit, and the sacred joy which the birth of a child brings to the home is hushe J, while sobbing sorrow tills all hearts with gloom. Mr. Straughan, the husband of the deceased, a civil engineer, went to Mississippi lact fall to enga?.e in building a railoid, his wife accompanying him. Her doting parents, brothers and sistgr, will see her never again the joyous, affectionate daughter and eieter that she was when she bade them cood-by. Her remains will bs b'ouzht to this city for burial. Mrs. Straughan was a lady of rare accomplishments. Liberally educated. she had a fandness for literary pursuit?, and her beauti ful thoughts in charming phrase have often in the rast embelished the columns of the Sunday Sentinel. As a conversation alist few were more entertaining. Her voice was musical and captivating, ana ner pres ence made her home bright and beautiful. Hut the iuster has departed from her eyes asd the smile from her countenance has van ished. Her voice is hushed in death. The loving wife, the doting mother, tha affectionate daughter and sister is cold in the embrace of death. Bereaved relatives will mourn the departure of one so dearly be loved. It can not be otherwise nor should it be; but there should be norepinings. The battles and sorrows of life are over. Only rest for the departed. "They visit us In dreams; They alide above our memories Like shadows over strsams." Better still, the living know that their loved ones, though dead, are not 'lost. They are the inhabitants of a better and brighter world, where sorrows, sickness, pain and death are not known, and as we weep o cioua gives way. And a r.cw light comes trembling through its shade: We weep till all our grief is gone, and day ARain is pure above us." Who of all the bereaved would call their leved ones beck to life? None. It is so ordered, thank God, that sorrow gives place at last to holy resignation. The dead will not come to us; we shall go to them, and the rapture born of faith that we Bhall meet again wr.cre separations never come is a Leaven-ordained panacea for the pangs which death inflicts. For none return from those quiet shore Who cross with the boatman cold and pale; Wo hear the dip of, the golden oars, And catch a gleam of the snowy Fail, Aud lot they Have paused from our yearning heart; Ihej cress the stream, and are gone lor aye; We mey not Hinder the veil apart Tbat bide? from our vision the gates of day ; We only knew that their barks no more - yy sail with us o'er life's tormy sea, Yet Fomewtere, I know, on the unseen shore. Tbey watch anl beckon and wait for me. PECULIAR INCIDENTS. A";exri3!X tiger" has just been 6lain in St. Landry Parish, La., which measured nine feet from Up to tip.

In the Chain of Unbroken Victories for tee Celebrated JlcCermlck Twine Binder. , Eleven Machines Ilepresnnted in the Great Blue Grass Fisdd Trial at Lexington, Ky. JTsy 2.000 Spectators Present V Per fect Oviklioa lor th MeCortntrlc From Kliet tu List. LzxmuTOir, Ky , June 19. One cf the mat interesting events which has recurred in this vicinity for years was a f.eld trial of Twine Binders here to-day. The contest was under the auspices of the Kentucky Agricultural and Mechanical Aseociation on the iarm of James B. Clay, three miles frcru the city. The Blue Grass population was out in large numbers, the crowd being estimated at from 1,590 to 2,000. The trial ci'tmc at 10 o'clock and lasted un til nearly (1. It was a warm contest in which eleven machines were represented as follows: McCormick, licneapolis, Wood, Deering Elevated and Deering Low-Down, Buckeye Low-Down and Buckeye Elevated, SL Paul, Dennett, Champion and Odborne. As usual the result was a most signal and decided victory for the celebiated McCor mick. The judges selected were C. T. Cox, William Wood, Alex. Shropshire, B. F. Hume and J. C. McClnre. From the very first round it was evident that the McCor mick was the favorits with the crowd. It never missed a bundle daring tbe entire contest, never choked or stopped for repairs, and its clean cutting stood out in bold compari son with tbe work of other machines. Be sides its width of cut was eight feet while itj riva!s in the contest ranged in width of cat from four and a half to six and a half feet TLe Buckeye Low-Down and Deering LowDown proved complete failures. Much interest wea manifested by the farmers in tSe Jow-down machines, hopine that tny iht prove successful departures, but their" s.'over.'.v work at once brought condemna:;o J upr.n them. The Deering, m simplinirg tbe;r tying device, appear f) have cirried their point of tin'plirity tco far, as by their new invention :Ley nave cut out cue of tneir nu st valuabla qu;sitff, as shown by their Irequeat nnsulfcK ri Mirale. Ihne was an ettempt I17 its agents to bi:!l" tbe Oiborne through, but when, hi is estrturdir.artly heavy dr&ft a double tree iff br(.lei:, pud in tereral instances watTi it cbt.tfd urd the driver ca? obüeel t come tfn-. Iiis et and tear the grain away, the crowd cried out: "Take it out; take it out," etc. Owing to the large crowd It was impossible to obtain a vote from thoBa present; however, as a result cf tha day's impression upon tie crowd.it was announced by tb.3 McCormick agent that Bieren machines wer told cn the ground. The following teHimonal from the thockers who followed the rracn)xe tnrougnoui tne contest is proot or ibis justly earned and well deierved victory of the McCormick: We, the undersigned, followed the mtchicej in thetield trial at Lexirgton, to day, as shockers, end found the work of the McCormick the best cf any in the contest. The McCormick did not miss a bundle, and tied tighter bundles than any other machine. A majority of the other machines threw a num ber of loose bundles, and several ot them cheked. Sanfoed Caldwell, Stipio Haydkw, 1'obkp.t taylop., Akdrew Smith, Tom Waerex. The shockers were the only persons pr?3?at duriDg the contest who were capable ot juigirg to a certainty the tightness of the bundles, as well as other details, from the f jet that every bucile passed through their hand, and there was no guess work about it. A large number of friends were added to-day to . t m a . 1 1 1 1 "I ; tne cost 01 more wno stana Dy me rving 01 Harvesters. Thus one by one does the Mc Cormick link its victories, nntil the chaim reaches from continent to continent, unbroken and impregnable. No tricks nor devices can ever take awav her laurels. Saturday Might. "There are moments In life which are never forgot, Wbith brighten and brighten as tims steals awav: They give a new charm to the happiest lot. And they shine on the gloom 01 the loneliest day." It to happens In life's pilgrimage thatsu:h bright moments come to all, or, if there are those to whom such moments never come, Jthey are trcoiig the world's unfortunates. The momenta that ccmeieighted with light and warmth,always come suddenly, like Bethlehem 6tars. They are tongued Elements, the bearers of glad tidings, and Rhen the come the soul unbolts Its doors and lets them into its banqueting balls wheic there is light, music and rejoicings. Then hopes revive, and faith with clear vision sees victories from afar; then the red life currents now moie rapidly, and the heart beats a march of triumph. A moment is a little thing as compared with an hour, a day, a year, a lifetime, and yet it may come so radiant with light and life, friendship and good will, voicing such aentimenta ot kisdnet tost tne gloomiest cay Is suddenly trans formed Into glorious effulgence. Suddenly the clouds depart, float away golflen-frfnged ; the sky Is dear, the sun shines in meridian radiance. It Is only a moment, but it has fulfilled its minion; henceforth it brightens as time s'eals away. We have said such moments have tongues. Yerily, and the melody of their words, like the rr a&ic of the sea shell sighing for iu home, will linger forever in the charmed ear of memory. Indeed, what do such moments fay? What does the icolian harp say when tbe Invisible fingers of the z?phyr touch Its string!? What does the eye say when it awakens by its glarce, emotions such as thrill the soul with joy? What docs the hand say when its craspis warm with friendship and trust? We have no lexicon of the skies; and yet when the moments come, emtasfadcrs bringing testimonials of remembrance, heart and soul understand the language, and aroufed sensibilities respond as best tiny can. Tbeieare men who can fight Fate's invincible hosts and stand defeat like born veterans, who fear no foe and yield only to the Inevitable: and yet, nnder the touch of sympathy, bow like reeds before the wind. Such incidents make men better, and the soul soliloquizes: "Come Into my heart, dear friends; come to the banquet of joy, the leant of friendship. Hallowed memories are my guciU, and tbe future la bright with hope. A divine charity Is abroad In the land, which hideth a multitude of faults. I am no longer alone." "My heart Is light, My hopes are bright. And Heaven ia near this Saturday nght; And every loy With which I toy Affords me Niss without alloy." "A bachelor I will live as 1 have lived still, And never take a wife To cruelly my life." That was written by a poet who lived about three hundred years ago, since when a mighty multitude of bachelors have taken all the riakaof matrimony. Feme rf them found the results of the venture mott disastrous, others had many rcgreU, but pulled r through others still sought refuge la divoice. A vast majorl'.y, however, found what they w&Ettd.-hcmc.dcmerticjoya and felicities unnumbered ; children were born to them, high and holy ambitions were aroused, and life was made a ceas-

le?6 beoed-jiloa. Why may it not be la order Saturday n!ghta to survey the field of matrimony and meditate upon the beet way to cultivate it, to secure the largest possible crop of blessings and happiness? But, sty one. there are do rales to be laid down. Whea people get married they must be left to paddle ttseir canoo their own way. ouuide lotrfreuee will endknger the cralt. Lrcn a mother la-law mutt keep silent. Still, it la well enough to reruaik tbat It Is only in rare cases that all tcecourtli g ia done before the we-ddin? takes plao. After tbe knot Is t.'ea much Is to be tail aud done to ke-ep the femon cf divorce away from tbe lnm'5. Tfcere rnuat bo a mutual understanding.

Tfie son and mother beth rc-cogn'.id täc hand writing ets'ght Philadei phia was thrown Into a ferment by tne wozkmen engaged to remove William Pena'a house finding a box buried in tbe cellar, which contained a lot of bones. It was quickly surmised they were those of persons who had been mur dered. Mr. Adam Best, of Merchantvillc, N. J., exploded the mystery by stating that he kept tavern there for twenty-five years, and that the vault was dug by him about eighteen years ajo and was made for the purpooe of having a cool place for the atcrla? of beer and ale. Wght years s:o he had a large lea box built, which took the place of the vault for keeping his kegs cool, and having no further uae for the vault he filled it up with dirt and refusa that was in the cellar, and among other things tumbled Into the hole were the old meat bones which had created ail the ex cite meet. We believe the Star Route verdict will leave a profound and lasting impression on the public mlad. It ought to. The men declared "not guilty" are of no consequence ; but the result of this trial will justly be held by all thoughtful citi zens as proof that it is high time to make a change ; that the "party of great moral ideas" is no longer entitled to their continence, and can not be safely trusted with the people's money. The verdict is. to be sure, bat one ot many evidences to the same effect. The river and harbor jobs, tbe Robeson Navy jobs, the impudent refusal to make adequate reductions of taxation, the corrupt determination to compel needless and surplus taxes out of the people's pockets, the pension swindle, the unblushing alliance with all sorts of monopolies all theee prove that the Republican party has outlived not merely Its usefulness, but its moral sense But it probably needed this result of the 3Ur Route tiia'.a to break the back ot the public's patience, rhe Presidential campaign of lsl will be a bittl9 between tbe people and the friends of monopoly and jobbery. New York Herald. FOR THE FAIR SKX. Odd sleeve-buttons continue in lavor. Gk.ot sleeves and bustles are in vogue ia Paris. Aftebnoon tea aprons are made entirely of lace, Ticked kklrts in llannels and cloths are popular. Colors are combined quite as much as mater lale. Over-skirts of black and colored lace are worn with Ottoman silk skirts. GouEets(howing the hair through are male up into bonnet crowns with velvet githered brims. Is Locrlon everything Is ctdlei "Fedora." Thera are Fedora bonnets, Fedon. mantels, and now cornea the Fcdoia tea eown. Wool Ärc tes cf beef blood color braided with black are certainly very ugly, but all the sa.me they are patronized by Los don ladies. Among new styles ia linen collars are high ones made wiih a very narrow rolled over piece at the top on which appeara a tun of embroidery. Fashion, who has so lavishly spent her designs of fruits and flowers on dress fabrics, now turns her attention to nuts, and very ingeniously has f he reproduced them on the new sateens, appropriately named "noisette." The walnut, both shelled and nashelled, is scattered higgle iy piggledy over fawn, pink and pale blue grounds, the chestnut figures In a similar arrangement, while, as a smaller powdering, behold the hazel nut in scattered profusion on a sea green surface, some being whole, others cracked and saowlnj? tneir kernels with the jagged bits of shells, and along one selvedge runs a trail of foliage and nuts la their green cups. Scrofula. A medicine that destroys the germs of Scrofula and has the power to root it out is appreciated by the arllicted. The remarkable cures of men, women and children as described by testimonials, prove Hood's SirFaparilla a reliable medicine containing remedial acents which eradica'e Scrotals from tbe blood. 100 dow $1 00.
