thing which we could use ourselves and
which could compier the stubborn forms
of chronic inflammation and congestion
which lie at the foundation of all female
troubles. That Dr. ,1cG ill's treatuicut
meets the demand of this lout; felt want
is shown by the fact that many cases
which have baffled the skill of our best
physicians, are being cured by it. I have
pledged myself to let my Buffering sisters
in the above Counties know of this simple,
entirely safe, yet wonderful cure. To
accomplish this I must have the help of
some good Christian lady in each township.
There are not le,ss than one thousand ladies
in each of the atiovo Counties to whom this
cure would be of inestimable value, many
of them mothers who need strength that
tlicy may train their little ones; then there
ate no many voung girls whose trouble is
not considered serious, but nevertheless
need attention, as only ft little time will

Col. John S. Cuniiigliam, of Person
county, was in Washington last week
and gave his views of the senatorial ques-
inn to a llichuiond Times correspondent,
an extract from which we print:
Tim absorbing question in North Car
olina, Colonel Cunningham said, was the
leetiin of n United States Senator by
the next Legislature. There were a
number of prominent candidates. Ex
Congressman Waddcll would have the
upport f tho Capo Fear section, lie
is well known throughout the State, and
s very popular. Col. Julian S. Carr, of
Durham, who was a prominent candidate
br Governor, and who has a large follow
ing in the State, is a candidate. C. B.
Watson, of Forsyth, a prominent lawyer
aad iuflueutial man, is a candidate, and
he will have behind him the upper Pied
mont section of the State. Another and,
perhaps, the most formidable of all, is ex
Governor Jarvis. His candidacy is an
open secret, and the announcement of it
has been made after a careful study and
canvass of the situation. Believing that
Senator Hansom cannot be re elected he
has entered tho race, and his friends
throughout tho State speak very confi
dently of his chances. But there are a
great many people who think that con
ditions may arise that will demand Gov
ernor Carr's eleotion. It is expected that
he Alliance vote will figure in the next
Legislature, possibly holding tho balance
of power in tho senatorial election. In
that event Governor Carr would almost
certainly bo elected. It will be no job,
Colonel Cunningham says to defeat
Senator ltausom He has been in public
ife so Ion'', and knows so well how to
poll the ropes, that he is considered by
many almost invincible.

In Boston's swell circles there is a fam
ily whose butler has given to it a unique
position. Michael had Dot been in Bos
ton very long before ho became imbued
with the classic learning of the "Hub,"
and he immediately put his learning to
use. Mrs. Marble nail was to give a
reception, and of course Michael stood at
the door. One by ono the guests caino
in, aud, like Parker in "Lady Winder
meres Fan, Michael anuouneed tho
names very distinctly. But
a t hist Michael was slumped.
Mr. Butler looked at the guests and
hesitated. Ho rubbed his hand against
bis forehead and mustered courage to
speak before the crowded guests, and in
a sepulchral voice hectied, "Mr. Foote

A BRIDE OF TWO YEARS.
England can furnish instances of child
marriages, not perhaps to any great ex
text, but as young as any to be found in
eastern countries, where such marriages
are almost of daily occurrence. The
youngest H'nglish bride on record is,
beyond all doubt, a daughter ot bir
William Brerctoo, who in the Sixteenth
century was united in the bonds of holy
matrimony when only two years of age, to
a groom one year her senior. In this case
the children were carried into the church
and their elders spoke for them. Subse
quently, wh"n the ptirrcsehed resrs of
maturity, tbey ratified the strange tie. In
this case the object was to carry out
desire to unite property.

EARNING HIS LIVING.
THE TRAMP SAW THE TI11NU FROM HIS
OWN POINT OF VIEW.
At a dinner given to Victor Hugo in
'aris, some years ago, says L. Univers,
he delivered an impromptu address, in
which he gave expression to his faith in
the inGnito and tho soul's immortality,
His friend, Houssaye, who was present,
lys:
"Hugo at that tirao was a man of steel,
with no sign of old age about him, but
with all the agility, tho suppleness, tho
ease and grace of his best years.'' He
was contradicting tho atheist, and his
friend says "his face was bright with the
heavenly halo and his eyes shone like
burning coals."
" 'There are no occult forces,' he said;
there are only luminous forces. Occult
force is chaos; the luminous force is God.
Mania an infinite little copy of God; this
is glory enough for man. an invisible
atom, a drop in tho oceaD, a grain of
sand on the shore. Little as I am, I feci
the God in me, because I can also bring
forth out of my chaos. I make books,
which aro creations; I feel in myself that
future life; I am like a forest which has
more than once been cut down; tho new
shoots are stronger and livelier than ever.
'Iam rising, I know, toward the
sky. The sunshine is on my head. Tho
earth gives me its generous sap, but
heaven lights me with the reflection of
uukuown worlds. You say tho soul is
nothiog but the result cf bodily powers.
Why, then, is my soul more luminous
when my bodily powers begin to fail ?
Winter is on my head and eternal spring
is in my heart, There I breatho at this
hour the fragrance of the lilacs, the
violets and the roses as at twenty years
ago. The nearer I approach the cud
plainer I hear around me the immortal
symphonies of the worlds which invite
me.
'It is marvelous, yet simple. It is a
fairy tale and it is historic. For half a
ceutury I have been writing my thoughts
in proso nnd verse, history, philosophy,
drama, romance, tradition, satire, ode
and song. I have tried all, but I have
not said a thousandth part of what is in
me. When I go dowu to the grave I
can say, like many others, I have finished
my day's work, but I can't say I have
finished my life. My days will begin
again the nest morning. The tomb is
not a bliud alley; it is a thoroughfare. It
closes on the twilight to open on the
dawn.' "
A MEXICAN ART.
The tramp had asked the well to-do
citizen for a dime and had not succeeded
in securing it, says the Detroit Free
Pres.s
"Why don't you earn your living?"
asked tho well-to-do, reprovingly.
"I do," said tho tramp, with a touch
of sadness in his voice.
"Don't tell mo that. I know better,"
contended the citizen,
"Don't I earn it?" and the Iramp's
voice fjiiivered. "Isn't it earning food
when I walk from kitchen door to
kitchen door, in the wet aud cold, for a
bit of dry bread and a piece ofcold meat?
Isn't it earning clothes when I take kicks
and cusses from place to place, begging an
old coat or a pair of cast-off trousers? Isn't
it earning a covering when I trudge along
dirty alleys looking for a hat or an old
pair of shoes? Isn't it earning a shelter
when I break the law to get into a station
house at night, where there is warmth
and a dry plank to sleep on? Isn't it
earning a living when a man lives because
there is uo other incentive to live than
tho fear of death? Isn't it"
"Hold on, hold on," interrupted tho
well-to-do "I never looked at it just
that way before, and I don't quite think
you arc right; but here's a dollar. Now,
go and buy you a farm," and tho well-to-do
shook the tramp and hurried along to
his comfortable home, not convinced that
the tramp reasoned correctly, but still not
sorry he had given him tho dollar.
A Mexican artist has taken place in
the World's for a pottery where Indian
and Mexican potters will make busts of
living men in sight of the multitude. As
a peculiar quality of clay, found only at
Guadalajara, is the only material they can
work with, a lurge quantity, some seventy
tons, will be taken to Chicago for this
purpose.
A HOOK AGENT'S WIT.
Ready wit and imperturbablo good
humor are essential portious of tho suc
cessful book agent's stock in trade. This
was Btrikingly illustrated tho other day;
when one of these much abused, but
iudustrious and enterprising individuals
contrived to gain access to an irascible
and profane, but by no means bad hearted,
bank president, who possessed the some
what raro virtue of being able to appro
ciato a joke at his own expense.
"Get out of here quick, and go to belli"
he exclaimed to tho book agent, before
the latter bad time to state bis business.
"Thank you," replied the itinerant
vender of literature, bowing and backing
toward the door. "Then I sha'l have the
pleasure ot seeing you again."
Everybody in the room laughed, the
banker included, and when the noise bad
subsided he promptly made atonement
for his rudeness in bis own peculiar
fashion.
"That's one on me," he said, "I'll take
S5 worth of whatever you are selling,
and cry quits. And when we meet
again I hope it will be where everybody
sings hymns. N. X. Herald

BEDRIDDEN FOR FOUR YEARS A YOUNO
LADY SUDDENLY RECOVERS.
Helpless from paralysis for four years,
Miss Lillian Apsley, of Cape May, N. J ,
has been suddenly and miraculously
cured by faith and prayer. The young
lady is the daughter of W. W. Apsley,
ate proprietor of the Capo House, Cape
May Point, and her recovery is the talk
of the hour.
After being stricken, tho father of
Mis Apsley spent a small fortuno trying
to effect his daugther's cure, but all
remedies and tho skill of celebrated physi
cians were exerted in vain. The young
iu'y is a devout member of a Philadelphia
Presbyterian church, aud after everything
else failed, recourse to prayer was sought)
aud the earnest petitions of the other
members of the congregation is accredited
by Miss Apsley as tho cause of her re-
coery of her physical powers. The cure
of Miss Apsley is complete, and she is
now perfectly able to attend to all her
household duties, after being bedridden
for many months.
