The National Prohibitionists are alarmed on account ot a threatened eoali u r. between John Barleycorn and Apple Jack. English gunlsvats are not much more effective than American war vessels when it comes to ramming against rocky inlands. It is asserted that Jay Gould has al ready added sixteen codicils to his will and has not yet covered the coachman elopement question. Hesliould try again. lias anew comet really been discovered, or has tb* reflection from John Logan’s bloody shirt lieen flashing across the fir mament and deceiving the astronomers? A New York girl’s parents have dis owned her because she eloped with and married a rich broker of that city. They couldn't stand the disgrace of such a con nection. It co>ts the county sl..'s t< convict and hang a man in Chicago. Out in Montana the authorities can actually make a reve nue by letting out the executions to the highest bidder. It appears to be pretty near time for Blaine and Phelps to get together and write another interesting letter to them selves. The explanation needs explain ing very much indeed. While the workingmen in the vitriol and brimstone factories are c xerapt from cholera those who go hurrahing around political meetings generally catch all the diseases that are going. The suits to decide who invented the telephone drags along slowly. They will doubtless be carried from court to court, ami perhaps ten years will elapse before the question is fully settled. It would lie eminently proper for ex speaker Keifer to greet Blaine m Ohio. Keifer certainly had the great Maine apostle of corruption in view when he was lobbying around the capitol. The manner in which the sewing so cieties are coming out for Mrs. Lockwood is creating some uneasiness in Connecti cut. especially as the committees on scandal in the societies are large and efficient. Sitting Bull may be permanently paei iled after all. Hotel feed and the In varies of civilization will probably either kill him or cure him of a desire to go on the war path with no food but jerked beef and parched corn. It is alleged that Blaine has Bright's disease and that he can't possibly live more than two years longer. The doctors may be mistaken. Perhaps his disease is only the result of the reproaches ot a guilty, though enfeebled, conscience. The proud old Ktuperor William evi dently wants to die w ith his harness on or he would not keep tumbling atxvut be fore his loyal subjects. It would te i*etter for him to stay at home and prepare to meet the White Lady in a proper manner. The Republicans say that it is a mean trick for the Democrats to circulate pamphlet eopies ot the Mulligan letters along Blaine's line of march, and yet some pretended that these letters w ere as harmless as the marriage laws of old Eaintuck. It is difficult to say which girl has made the greatest matrimonial blunder—the one who eloped with the father's coach man o. the one who married a French Count. A great many of these counts do not count for much when it comes to making a wife happy. The Baltimore Atmriean alleges that the Blaine-Fisher letters arranged chrono logically, would be one ot the most useful campaign documents the Republicans could issue. If that is the ease, ken why in the name of common sense don’t they print the document and send it out with out delay ? While Mr. Blaine professes to consider prohibition as a question exclusively for the people of the several States, he has been asked h<-w he stands on the question of Congress passing prohibitory liquor laws for the Territories. He will probably not have time to reply during the next few weeks. While the Southern cotton mill men are grumbling over the depressed condition of the market they don't seem to lie clam oring much for the perpetuatiou of the robber tariff, iust to afford protection to the manufacturers of cotton machinery. Has that argument against tariff reform been definitely abandoned in the South * Tie colored Blaine and Logan Club* of Paterson. N. J.. have bolted the grand old party in a body. About a week ago local Blaine politicians visited the club rooms of the main body in Paterson and asked them t< participate in the excursion that was to leave Paterson for Newark on Mon day night. The managers told them that they w old be welcome if they would pro cure uniforms. They did not get uniforms, but had badges, and drew up in front of the depot. When the managers looked at their poor clothes they turned up their B-vsts and at once went into executive session. The result was that the mana gers decided that the colored men should not participate. The colored eluls then returned disheartened to their headquar ters. and an indignation meeting was held. It was finally determined to cast a •olid vote for Cleveland. It will take nice work to win them back. One of the shareholders of the barracks property announces, in a communication publisned this morning, his readiness to and >nate his share to any one who will en gage to construct the proposed hotel. lie also gives some very good reasons why the other shareholders should pursue the course in this matter that be is ready to pursue. The fact is. a little consideration will convince any one that if nothing is done with the property il is certain to be a source of expense, and if itis sold there is little or no probability that the shareholders will realize half the amount they invested. The better plan for the owners of the property to pursue, therefore, is to mate another effort to secure the building of the hotel. A good hotel will benefit them far mors than the smalt sum they are likely aaafaof the property. Changes iu the Coum. ltuslacss. It begins to look as If it were only a question of time when the cotton ports would lose the main part of their cotton business. Notwithstanding that the aero, age in cotton is increasing every year, and the average crop is constantly grow ing large* 1 , the money that the handling of cotton leaves at the cotton ports is rapidly growing less. At this port, at New Orleans, and. in fact, at all the cot ton porta, many of the great compresses are idle the greater part of the season. Of course when the compresses are idle there is a vast numt-er of persons idle who depend on handling cotton in one shape or another for a living. Even those who have employment, with the exception of the screw men. do not have it continu ously during the season, and they do not find their work as remunerative as it once Tis said that at New Orleans there are great compresses which have not been use,! tor several years. Property that was once worth hundreds of thousands of dollars is now comparatively worthless liecause it produces no revenue. Ihe same is true with respeet to other cotton porta. The r ports show that the ports receive ats.ut as much cotton as they ever did, Dut they receive it already com press, si. It is put in shape lor its final destination ~1 tfce interior towns, and is shipi>od on throu-h bills of lading. All that the ports get out of it is. |K*rhaps. a little drayage, and they do not always get that, because the railways dump the cotton on the wharves so near the vessels that there is no need of drayage. The truth is that the business of hand ling cotton is Smlergoing a great change. Gradually the towns near where the cotton is produced are getting control of the cotton. They have compresses, warehouses, factors, samplers, weigher* and buyers. In fact, they are fully equip ped for handling cotton. It is more con venient for the railroads and steamboats to carrv compressed cotton to the 6ea hoard. and as they are adopting the prac tice of charging freight according to t o weight rather than by the bale, j* is pro!.-, able they encourage the compressing of cotton near the place ot production. The factors at the ports are to some ex tent, perhaps, to blame for the change which is taking place in the cotton busi ness. To a marked extent they have ceased to advance to planters, and there fore do not control the crop. The country merchants now do the advancing, lhcv are near the planters, and furnish sup plies rather than the cash. The factors at the ports advance money to the coun try merchants, but they do not always get the cotton of the corntry merchants. The eotton goes wherever it will yield the most, freights aud everything else being considered. Of course there will always be some un compressed cotton that will find its way to the cotton ports, but the indications are that in a very few years the amount w ill not lie large. Many of those who now de pend uiK.n cotton to afford them a living will have to turn their attention to some thing else. The average number or bales a year received at the cotton ports will continue to increase, but the amount of money which cotton leaves at these ports will continue to decrease. Tlic Dueling Congress. The French proposition to hold a duel ing congress does not appear to meet with a very hearty response. While there has been a great many duels in France of late, in nearly every other country in the civil ized world the custom of dueling is de clining. aiul in some it lias fallen into positive contempt. Probably the idea of holding a congress ot this sort is not a bad one. Duels are of almost daily oc currence in France, but even in that country the “code” docs not seem to clearly define all questions relating to dueling with sufficient clearness. It has l*een suggested that the propos ed congress di v ide duels into three classes : 1. Where there are mortal insults, which can only be wiped out by the life blrod of one of the parties, the weapons being pistols, at short range. Incase of less grievous insults, in which honor may Ik? satisfied with swords or pistols at moderate range. :’>. In coses of ordinary offenses, newspaper articles aud the like, swords only l>eing used, and real efforts to take the lire of an adversary not being ex pected or allowable. Nearly all the due’s in France now come under this last class, and there is rarely any serious injury done to the combatants. If the congress should be held a certain class of American duelists should be ad mitted to it. It would l>e in keeping w ith their style of dueling to add two other classes to the code- —say t. Where it is the intention of one or both the parties to avoid a fight and yet to maim u vre so as to make it ap|iear that the other party is to blame for the failure to appear on the bloody field of honor. 5. W here a delib erate conspiracy is made to override the provisions of the code and murder an an tagonist in cold blood. It is hardly prot* able. however, that the sham duelists would obtain representation in the con gress. I There is a class of gentlemen in America, and the number is growing smaller every year, who really believe in the cotie. It might be proper for them to be represented in the congress, should it l>e held, in order that the rules of procedure, in cases of appeal to the “code," should l*e made known and recognized here. There will perhaps be very few more duels in this country, but it any take place they ought to be strictly regular and above suspicion. Very few people in America know what the provisions of the code are. They are becoming familiar, however, with the laws against dueling, and, what is bet ter. in most sections of the country there is a disposition to enforce these laws, which is having a very beneficial effect. belling Ready to Buy Ohio. Senator Don Comeron. it is said, has made peace with Blaine and has been se lected to distribute the bribery fund in Ohio. The impression has been very gen eral, since Cameron returned from Eu rope. that the Blaine faction in Pennsyl vania had made some sort of combination to defeat Cameron's re-election to the Senate, and that Cameron was disposed not only to fight his own battle, but also to do what he could to beat Blaine. Blaine's visit to Philadelphia, however, brought about an understanding between the two chieftains. It the situation is rightly understood Cameron is now to do his best for Blaine, and the Blaine faction is to withdraw all opposition to Came ron's return to the Senate. Cameron will be of great service to Blaine. He is not only a shrewd politi cian but he can raise more money in Philadelphia, perhaps, for campaign pur poses. thau any man in Pennsylvania. As money is what Blaine wants, Came ron will be invaluable to him. John Roach and the Cramps, the owners of the two great shipyards, have promised liberal contributions. Solicitors have been a( - pointed to visit the national banks, pub lic officials and everybody else likely to contribute anything to help buy Ohio. A good, big majority is wanted in that State for effect. The effect ought not to be great, however, if the big majority is obtained, because majorities obtained by bribery do not show the real sentiments of the peo ple. The fact that thousands of votes were bought in Maine destroyed the ef fect, to a great extent, of the large Re publican majority obtained there. There are indications that influences will be brought to bear to secure the re moval of United States Railroad Commis sioner Armstrong if he does not show less disposition to favor the Pacific rail roads to the damage of the interests of the government. 11 is annual re port whifch has been made, but not yet published, is said to favor the Union Pacific Railroad in a very mark ed manner. He makes this favorable re port in the face of the fact, it is alleged, that the statement of the President of the road, Charles Francis Adams. Jr., neg lects to disclose any of the really import ant matters relating to the road. James Gordon Bennett is a bigger man in many respects than Blaine, and he would draw bigger crowds as he swings round the circle, if he only had a few date to work up a little mock enthusiasm. Sensational Kl<*i>cinont. There is said to be such a thing as an epidemic of suicide. It is certain that when a suicide of a sensational eharaete. occurs it is followed very quickly by quite a large num!er of other suicides. May there not be such a thing as an epidemic f elopement? yuite a number of sensational elopements have occurred within a month. In fact, the leading sen sations in the newspaiiers lately have tieen elopements or attempted elopements. It is a remarkable fact that in nearly every instance the girl in the ease belonged to a wealthy family. The first to attract attention was that of Victoria, the pretty and cultivated daughter of Morosini, the millionaire Ital ian banker of New York. Victoria was courted by her father's coachman in the stables while she fed her saddle-horse with sugar plums. The coaehman caj*- tured the girl’s heart and ran off with her. From all accounts ho is a spindle shanked, narrow-breasted, nincompoop, and the wonder is what the charming Victoria could have seen in him to ad mire and love. As she had been educated in a convent, and as her father excluded all beaux of her own class, it is probable that she was moved to take up with the coachman by some such feeling as moved the hopeless old maid when she prayed, “O Lord, anybody so it's a man.” The fair Victoria has her coachman, but she has broken up her father's home ami driven her family to a foreign shore to hide their feelings of shame. The next elopement that sent a thrill of satisfaction through the susceptible hearts of romantic youths and maidens was that of Rosa Sickles, the daughter of a mil lionaire. who has an elegant summer home in one of the numerous villages in the neighborhood ot New York. She ran away with a grocer's clerk. The parents of the frisky maiden, l>eing very sensible people and having on investigation found the young husband to be a thrifty, honest fellow of fair education, took the run aways to their hearts and home, and said, “llless you, my children.” Rosa has already set up the choice ot her heart in the grocery busine’ss in the city of New York, and they are reported to be happy. Learning of the happiness of Victoria and Rosa, a 13-year-old Boston school girl, very fat and very pretty, who had lost her heart to a Boston dude, gathered up her mother’s wealth, amounting to $75,000, which was secreted in the house, and placed it where she could get it when ready to fly with her dude. The discovery of the loss of the wealth, however, nipped this premising scheme in the bud, as it were, and there is now no immediate prospect that there will be any honey moon for Sadie aiul her dude. The last of this series of high life elope ments, in which gold and greenbacks formed a rather fascinating background, occurred last Monday. Miss Sally Scheuer, a pretty Jewess, the daughter of Simon Scheuer, a New York millionaire, ran away with Henry Friedman. They were married at the Metropolitan Hotel, New York, and are now supposed to tie supremely happy at Saratoga. How long they will remain happy is uncertain, as it is alleged that Friedman is not burdened with cash, and the millionaire Sunon declares that his daughter may get along the best she can, and that she and her husband shall not enter his home nor have a dollar of his money. This Is a bad outlook Tor two loving hearts, par ticularly as love is apt to fly out of the window when poverty comes in at the door. What are millionaires’ daughters to do to avoid the snares that are laid to cap ture their unsuspecting hearts? In tliiir own country they are beset by coachmen, grocery clerks, dudes and penniless so ciety beaux, and if they flee to a foreign country they arc in danger of becoming the victims of titled adventurers. Their lot does not appear to le an enviable one. The Commissioners appear to have done well in awarding the coutract for the erection of the new capitol. There is little doubt that the work will be be gun witnout unnecessary delay and pros ecuted with vigor. The price to bo paid, sßt>2,7se 75, will doubtless enable the Commissioners to meet all expenses out side the contract, such as salaries, ad vertising, plans and superintendence, etc., and yet not exceed $1,000,000, the limit put on the total cost of the building. It is a matter of deep regret that the building cannot be erected entirely of Georgia stone, but it would not be right to pay more for Georgia stone than is asked for Ohio stone. The blame must rest upon the owners of the quarries. The Commissioners may be safely relied on to see to it that the contract is faithfully carried out. The Republican National Committee’s address to the Southern people will not satisfy those to whom it is addressed. The committee promised to send us some of its high-toned unspotted statesmen to ex plain the real attitude ot the party towards the South. It promised us a feast of reason, political bread, as it were, and it now gives us a stone. It may have a pretty good excuse, however. The sup ply of high-toned, unspotted statesmen in the grand old party appears to be rather short just now. CURRENT COMMENT. Will Not Convince Doubters. Philadelphia Record (,/</.). Mr. ltlaine goes westward on his magnetic errand with all the i>omp and circumstance that can be got out of a ride in a palace car, with brass band stops, telegraphic announce ments, greeting speeches and impromptu en thusiasm. This will stir the faithful, but it will not convince the doubters. A Dispute Among Friends. Hartford Ti-ne* (/Vim.). Butler got mad at Grady for monopolizing the recent “great Butler demonstration" in New York with his own woes, to the exclusion or Butler, after, it is said, the latter had paid him 110,tWO to get up "the biggest meeting ever seen in New York.” The meeting didn't pan out as lug as Grady promised, and now Butler is very angry, and threatens that if Grade wants 'any more Butler meetings in New York he must pay the co6t lum*elf. What Blaine Did. Chicago Timet {lnd.}. Mr. Tilden’s investments in railway enter prises were made as a private citizen, and not even his bitterest enemy ever charged that he had used any official jiosition to advance his personal interests or to promote the specu lative schemes of his associates in business. The charge against Mr. Blaine is that he not onlv did this once, but that he has been in the habit of doing it during his entire public ca reer, and the charge is sulwtantiated by hi* own correspondence. As Gen. Hawley says, he “mixed up his private business with pnblie affairs." and it is scarcely necessary to say that Samuel .1. Tilden never did this, and never was charged with doing it. On Its Bast Begs. JHlmimtfton N'kir (Pem. . The old deviltry practiced by Federal su pervisors of elections maybe looked for in the pending struggle. Already a high-handed attempt has teen made to interfere in Louisi ana. as reported in our telegraphic columns of vesterdav. The Radical party is on its last logs. Its army of IOS.OOO hungry, desperate office-holders are very loth to turn loose the teats at which they have been hanging for so many years. They know this means expo sure of depraved and often very rascally methods and abuses and honest lalwr. The array of suckers would have to go at some thing else—would have to earn their living as far better men earn their living—by diligent, honest toil. ITEMS OF INTEREST. Thk Greek church in Sitka, Alaska, is said to be the finest religious edifice in America. The interior is a mass of solid gold and silver, and the walls are hung with priceless pic tures. Covinotos. Ky., is the Gretna Green of Ohio and Indiana elopers. The records show that over one hundred couples have been married from these two States during the past eighteen months. There is little of interest now to be found in Elba. Napoleon's island-prison. All the relics of his stay there were long since carried away, aud the place has sunk into the insignificance from which his presence raised it temporarily. As agreement has been entered into by the French Minister of Posts by which special postage stamps will be issued for the ridicu lous little principality of Monaco. Upon them the reighing Prince,styled Charles 111., will have the pleasure of seeing his august portrait. A Boston sfirit iwr was detected using a telephone in his cabinet, lie allowed his mouth to be filled with marbles ami scaled with court plaster. By attaching the tele phone to concealed wires that ran to a con federate in another part of the house he nev ertheless produced ghostly voices. The ingenious method adopted by Russian military authorities of instructing the rank and file in the art of shooting by furnishing them with handkerchiefs on which the con struction nf the rifle and its use are explained has been earned a step further. The handker chief is now being used to familiarize Rus sians with the history of their heroes. A California editor recently attempted to lelezraph to friends in a neighboring town; “cannot b down Uli Thursday-foreuua dfnnk.” He went down on Thursday, and was astonished by the hilarious manner iu which his triends received him. It came out that the telegram, when received, read; “tan not come down till Thursday forenoon drunk." Prisons have become such popular places of public resort in Luxemburg, and so many persons have committed offenses merelv to qualify for admission, that the Luxemburg Government has ordered that vagabonds and beggars. as well as persons arrested tor causing disturbances while drunk, shall be strictly kept on bread and water during their imprisonment. A our at CHANGE has taken place in the last twelvemonth iu the Parisian political press, which is attributed partly to the death of 1; imlietta, the death of the Comte de Cham hordwd tli?stability of the Kerry Ministry. The pro|>ortion of Republican to anli-lte nublican newspapers is Btill four to one, but since October last the latter have slightly in creased. to judge by the fact that 329,000 copies of anti-Republican papers are sold, as against I, 17:1,500 copies of Republican journals. A QUEBEC telegram says that John C. Kuo remains at the St. Louis Hotel, in that city, and has gained in flesh in the past two months. His family and some friends are with him. One or his children, a daughter, 8 years old, was seized with malarial fever about a fortnight ago, ami for a time the physicians had grave doubts as to her re covery. Kno, the telegram says, took las child’s illness more to heart than his own per sonal troubles even, and to his intimate ac quaintances he blamed himself as the cause in having necessitated the change of resi dence. A \v AK which threatens to send up the price of tea, silk and false luur is not likely to be |>opular with the women, and it is said that in France the wives of the deputies and sena tors are urging their husbands to a settlement with 1 Inna. One of the most important ac cessories of the trench female toilet is the chignon, and the imiortatiou of hair forms an important branch of commerce. The amount imported in 1882 was nearly 1 .'O.OOO pounds; it had risen to over 550.0U0 |>oumis in INKJ. By far the larger proi>ortion of it comes from the thickly-peopled provinces of the Celestial Empire. Ok all the seaside resorts on the English coast, Blackpool, “the Brighton of the North,'’ as it is called, is essentially the resort of the working classes. During last year uo less than 1,729,198 “ordinary” passengers were con veyed there bv train fiom the surrounding districts, and nearly halt of them from Lan cashire. It is the custom of the l.aiw.ashire weavers and spinners to spend a day or two at Blackpool every month, and collections are taken up weekly in all the mills aud work shops to defray the expenses of the trip, ami a regular, systematic saving fund is kept tip throughout the whole year. A I’ii 1 l apei.fu 1 a Coroner’s jury proposed to punish a drug clerk because some strych nine pills which be had not marked poison were fatally swallowed: hut a Judge orders his release. “The legislature could never have intended,” says His Honor, “that a pro scription of a reputable physician, in a case of delicate treatment, in which one of the poisous named should be used iu the proper quantity, should be sent by the druggist to the sick room of a nervous patient with the word ‘poison’ marked 011 the la! el. Such a law would be destructive of medical Fciem o, unreasonable, and against the spirit of sound legislation.” Col. Thomas Pythagoras Ochiltree is not only to retire from the public service which he lias so briefly but brilliantly illumi nated with his intellect and hair, but he pro poses, by and with the advice and consent of an appreciative public, to introduce to the American stage an eminent Russian tragedi enne in the person of the Barouess Rockikoff.of Rookikoirton. ltoekikoff county. The Baroness Rockikofl is a lady, an artist, and a lineal de scendant of the celebrated Count Roekanri kofT. who lias played innumerable engage ments liefore the crowned heads of Europe, Kentucky and other powers. In one of the plays which she will present in this country, a scene is given of New York harbor with the Bartholdi statue in the foreground. In this pl ly Col. Ochiltree himself takes part, ap pearing as the torch iu the statue. BRIGHT HITS. Ladies’hats this fall will be felt. Some times they can almost be heard, they are so lou<l.— JV'etc York Journal .

The learned astronomer is of pleasing ad dress, his white beard and moustache mark ing him as a man of years. A lame foot causes him to limp slightly, lie is to be the guest of Prof. Newcomb and will visit various observatories to keep his eye in on his favorite stndy—the sun spots, of which just now there arc few. WlLBt'K F. Storey, the Chicago journalist who was recently adjudged insane, never grumbled even at wastefulness wnen told that it appeared to be necessary in order to make sure that the paper would not be “left.’’ The employe who would not take the trouble to order a special on anything that chanced U> come up lie despised. While thus lavish in big things. Mr. Storev was economical in small things. He would turn down the gas that ne saw burning needlessly, and any other waste fulness cauaet him great indignation. State Politics. Ex Assistant District Attorney J. C. Jen kins has concluded not to oppose Judge Ham mond for Congress in tnc Fifth district. He was nominated by the Whig Re publicans. His refusal to make the race is believed to be because of a failure upon the part of the straightout Re publicans to look with favor upon his candi dacy. It is now understood at Atlanta that ex-senator G. W. Bryan, of Henry county, will go before the people of the district as an independent candidate for Congress. He wa in Atlanta a few days ago, feeling around with a view of ascertaining what he could d* in rallying lus friends in that section to hia side. TKKASON IN OHIO The McLean Gang Have Sold the Demo cratic Party Out to the Republicans. There is a great deal of gossip here, says a Washington special to the Courier- Journal, about the Democratic campaign in Ohio. The general opinion is that the Cincinnati Enquirer gang will sell out the party to Blaine if they are able to do so. It is known that “Gath” is hard at work in Blaine’s interests, as are all the leading correspondents of that paper. The Washington correspondent ot the Enquire" is a red-hot Blaine man, aud it is said that he is betting that the Republi cans will carry Ohio in October. As this correspondent" is in full fellowship with his lioss, McLean, it is thought here that the latter has “tipped” him. in this con nection tlie St. Louis Jl&puhlican, an old and reliable Democratic journal, has the following significant article in its issue of Sunday: “The Ohio Democratic campaign Is matter for Democrats to ponder. The State is Republican bevond all question. There are some disturbing conditions which have led Democrats to hope tor a favorable result in October-. The country should Ik? undeceived on this subject. Iho Cincinnati Enquirer, whose editor is vir tually the manager of the Democratic campaign, is making every effort to elect Mr. Blaine. The old ami tried Democrats of Ohio are sent back to the rear. Nothing in the nature of an honest, faithful ettort is being made by the present leaders m the State to carry it. it is virtually being allowed to go by default as far as the ac credited managers are concerned. It would Ik? a miracle it Ohio were not lost l>y a large majority under such cir cumstances, and nothing but defeat should be expected from Ohio. It the Republicans should lose Ohio under ex isting circumstances there would liter ally be nothing lift for them to stand upon. But with such Democratic leader ship as prevails in that State, it seems utterly impossible that the Republicans should fail of securing a large majority. Let no Democrat be deceived about Ohio. It would be against common sense to ex pect success where success is not de sired by the men iu coutrol of the cam paign. The real Democratic battle is to be fought in Indiana ami in New Y ork in November, not in Ohio."

Bulwer Lytton s Bridge, Where it Touches the Shores and the Great Columns iu Midstream. “What a beautiful bridge between old age and childhood is religion. How intuitively tlie child begins with prayer and worship ou entering life, and how intuitively, on quitting life, the old man turns back to prayer and worship, putting himself again side by side with the infant, remarks Sir E. Bulwer Lyt ton, in his “Strange Story.” Yes, but between its distant abutments tlie bridge of life has many high and awful arches, through which tlie wild waters dash and roar in wrath and desolation. Prayer and worship alone do not sustain these. Nature’s solid rocks must lie unshaken beneath, and human art and skill must rear aud solidify the struc ture overhead. God’s will is best exemplified in the laws He has made for the creatures whom He has placed under their control. Neither the child’s trustful “Our Father,” nor the old man’s “Forget me not in the midst of mine infirmities,” will alter this by the weight of a single grain. Science aud art first-then faith and prayer —is the order of Heaven itself. Divinity heals through its agents, and those agents are the discoveries of man; not the vague announce ments of j)ropliet3 or seers. Is life a burden to you? Does time drag? Is your power to cope with life’s problem aud duties weakened? You are not well. Your blood is sluggish and tainted, perhaps; or some important organ is torpid or overworked. This fact may have taken the form of dyspepsia,, rheumatism, gout, malaria, pains iu the stomach, chronic headache, or any of a dozen other ills. PAR KER’S TONIC will invigorate you, as fresh air invigorates those who have been shut up in damp, fetid cells. It is powerful, pure, de licious. scientific, safe—the keystone of the central arch of the bridge of life. SSCCOO. T H OR BURN’S Fresh Garden Seeds. IMPORTED BRUNSWICK AND WIN NINUSTADT CABBAGE.
