siinple announcement, we shall not
farther allude to the subject. But we
cannot speak too severely of the ex
treme vulgarity that has been mani
fested in many quarters, by low-toned
and ill-bred people, who have evinced
a most trivial curiosity to learn the de
tails of the vulgar affair.
Elopement.—The wife of the editor
of this paper eloped with her coachman
early last evening. We have been
made disgusted by the vulgar curiosity
of well-meaning friends who, strange
as it may seem, actually take an inter
est in the event. Our long journalistic
experience has taught us never to
manifest an interest in anything.
Young Man, Get Married.

Young man, the large majority of
you are hovering around on the verge
of matrimony, shivering like a mouse
work and should be sent out in the d.ull
dayfc when a customer hks to be
knocked down with hard facts and
kicked insensible by bankrupt reduc
tions, and dragged in with ir
resistible slaughter of prices, be
fore he will spend a cent. That’s
the. aim and end of an advertisement,
and if you ever open a store, don’t try
to get them to come when they are al
ready sticking out of the windows, but
give them your advertisement right be
tween the eyes, in the dull season, and
you will wax rich. Write this down
where you will fall over it every day.
The time to draw business is when you
want business, and not when you have
more business than you can attend to

What the Scientific World Wants to
Know—A $100,000 Offer.
We have published in our columns
from time to time different advertise

the decrease in the negro vote, He is I - - . , .... , „ , - ,
too busy to vote, like many an intelli
gent, educated, rich white man North
and South. I do*not say that this sort
of thing is right for rich or poor, white
or black, North or South, but it is a
fact. During the war an attempt was
made to recruit Massachusetts regi
ments among the negroes of South
Carolina. Some of the youngest darkies
on a certain plantation were disposed to
“jine the cavalry,” but before enlisting
they sought the advice of the Uncle
Remus of the plantation. “Wat’s it all
about?” he asked. “Why,” said one,
“de Yankees is fighting to free us, and
the Confeds is fighting to keep us
slaves.” “And it’s all about you, is it?”
“Yes.” “Well,” said Uncle Remus,
“it minds me ob two dogs fighting
ober a bone. But I nebber heard of de
bone fighting—and you is de bone.”
Now that about expresses the idea of
the average darkey. Before a Con-
gressoinal election several years ago
Smalls, of South Carolina, came up
here to see Edward McPherson, Secre
tary of the Republican Congressional
Committee. “I want some money?” he
said. “What for ?” asked McPherson,
“what do you want of money in a dis
trict overwhelmingly Republican like
yours ?” “AYliy,” explained Smalls,
“I spent all my money getting the
nominatiion and now I haven’t any
money forelection expenses.” “Such
as what ?” asked McPherson. “Why,”
said Smalls, “the men who peddle the
tickets and challenge voters and do all
the other workaround the polls.” “But
I should think,” said McPherson, “you
could get men to do that for nothing.
Don’t the Democrats?” “Yes,” said
Smalls, “the Democrats do, but our
fellows won’t unless they’re paid for
it,” In other words, if there be no
money in it they are indifferent, and
now tjiftt the most ignorant of their
preachers, who are more influential
with them than any other set of men,
have got a good grip on the idea
that the Democrats do not propose to
put them back in slavery, they do not
y;jp‘ a straw for the success of the Re
publican party, Oh the other hand,
the whites'.care just as much as ever for
the success of the Democratic party, so
that all predictions that the Republican
party will carry Southern States in the
next national election are absurdly
nonsensical. Blanche K. Bruce, ex-
Senator from Mississippi, is the only
one of the Congressional negroes who
has amounted to anything, and he is al
most white. He was appointed Regis
ter of the Treasury after he left the
Senate, resigned when ^ velan d (Arne

ever since. “Bob" Elliott of south

She was only one of the mighty host of
women who “ask my husband about
every detail of purchase. Doubtless
she told him about it when he came
home, and thus strengthened his con
viction that she required money only
when she asked directly for it and for a
specified object.
Within the ordinary round of house
hold duties there are few women who
are not necessitated to do a deal of in
dependent thinking and of acting upon
their thoughts. Families there are
where the husband and father selects
each roast and every slice of steak;
where he personally superintends the
purchase of each pound of butter and
decides whether the baby’s cloak shall
be of flannel or cashmere. But this is
the exceptional household. The aver
age woman takes charge of all the
housekeeping details and expenditures,
generally displaying far better sense in
doing so than her lord. The instant,
however, that she steps beyond the
prescribed domain of buying for the ta
ble she halts and turns round for the
masculine head of the family to lead
her.
The minds of women are quite as
capable in all the requirements of or
dinary life as those of men. But the
average woman doesn’t begin to use
her mind nor apply it to the needs of
her life until long after the period
when it should have been in active op
eration. .

keeping, if you have to begin with an
oil stove, a candle and a bed lounge.
This may seem to you to be a small be
ginning, and so it is; but, once married,
the money that you now throw; away
in your endeavors to quiet your restless
soul will go into furniture and little
nick-nacks, and you will soon wake up
to the fact that you are the owner of a
home, and that word means a great
deal to a young fellow who has been
swimming around in the ocean of life
ever since he was big enough to shave
himself, with his chin just above the
water.
Just as soon as a man can stand up
before the world, point to a pleasant
home presided over by a wife who
makes a harness of smiles with which
the husband draws his burden of daily
cares, and say; “They are mine,” he
jerks his head up in the air about six
inches and goes prancing around like a
yearling colt in a new pasture. Get
married, young man, and if you use
common sense in picking out a wife
you are sure to make a success of the
venture. The world owes you a living,
but it isn’t going to press it upon you.
You will find that it is just as easy to
feed two mouths as one, providing the
extra mouth is owned by your "wife. *
* * There is. nothing this side of
heaven that can smooth out the wrin
kles in a man’s disposition, or knock
down the obstructions that get into his
path as he tramps along this brief pro
bation of life, so perfectly as the sym-
jf&tliy and affection of a true, noble,
self-sacrificing woman, and I am eccen
tric enough to believe that the majori

Stingy With Their Wives.
Chicago Kews.
Are most men stingy with their
wives? Are the majority so selfish
that they don’t allow them a reasona
ble amount of money for miscellaneous
expenditure ?
There is no doubt of it.
Averagely, it’s an unthinking stingi
ness and an unconscious selfishness.
Neither is the average man altogether
to blame for it.
His wife is more to blame than he.
ed tube casts.
As soon as this begins to take place
it is only a question of how fast decom
position goes on before the disease re
sults fatally. If the proper remedies
are taken before final decomposition or
waste of these tubes commences or be
comes too far advanced, that is the on
ly and last chance for relief. It is at
this point or before that Warner’s safe
cure proves so beneficial, and may cure
or stop the wasting away of the kid
neys if it has not advanced too far.
The most remarkable thing of all our
investigation is the fact that the pa
tient with Bright’s disease has no ex
clusive symptoms, but has the symp
toms of every common disease.
First, he may possibly feel a dull pain
in his back, generally upon one side,
which does not debar him from his usu
al business routine. After a time he
may be'tin Jo feel neuralgic pains, or
have a slight attack of what he may
call rheumatism, headache, with high
or dark colored urine, with an unpleas
ant sensation in its passage, and after
standing showing an unnatural condi
tion. Later on, come tired feelings,
loss of ambition or vigor, or loss of oi
failing eyesight, which is very common,
with a distressed condition of the
^tomach. Anyone of these symptoms
is liable to occur.
This no doubt explains why the pro
prietors of Warner’s safe cure are cub
ing so many diseases. By regulating
and building up the kidneys, symptoms
of general ill-health disappear. They
justly accuse the medical profession of
treating the effects and not the cause.
Finally, if this disorder is neglected the
patient either dies of apoplexy, pneu
monia, heart disease, blood poison, con
sumption, or any other disease that the
system is most subject to.
There appears to be amrm CD® cause
for nearly every other ailment of the

there can ho nb rtjUei from it. A
wedding has come to be simply a dona
tion visit, such as churches occasionally
make to a pastor to piece out his salary.
The true spirit of gift-making is lost
sight of. This must necessarily be the
case where several hundred guests make
a present merely because it is a fashion,
and because they would be thought nig
gardly if they failed to follow it. We
all follow it, but the real motive, if it
could be analyzed, would be found to
be a selfish and cowardly one. This is
about the case when analyzed:
“I can’t afford to make this present;
it will pinch me financially to do so.
But neither can I afford not to doit- I
should be considered mean, instead of
having the extreme satisfaction of being
thought to be as liberal as Mr. and Mrs.
Blank. This gift-makmg is a terrible
infliction, but one can’t ignore it.”
There is no heart in such a gift, and no
sense. Where one hasacirele of several
hundred friends, the‘ question of ex
pense for the carrying on of this custofli
becomes serious for every’ one whose
income is limited. A reform could be
