DEAFNESS.

Dr. McNAIR'S ACOUSTIC OIL-Those deaf
from infancy often receive, in a most miraculous
manner, their hearing when they least expect it, by
some trihing accident or event, which shows them
how easily they might have much sooner had their
hearing, and saved themselves and their friends the
pain of conversing in loud tone without pleasure.
or Of being neglected and summed to avoid that dis
tress which is felt mutually by the deaf person and
his hearers How sacred duty, therefore, it is
that use all necessary means to remove such an
ahiiction, and enjoy the social qualities implanted in
our natures! This EAR OIL has the effect SO to re-
lieve the ension and bring into the natural action
of the parts as to restore the hearing when lost or
impaired. This is proved by SO many and well-known
cases, that, where known, it needs no praise The
great wish of the proprietor is that each may speak
to others of its uncommon virtues, till sufferers may
know and be relieved and restored by its use This
will be done in all cases of recent DEAFNESS and
many of long standing. ALL DEAF PERSONS
should use this oil 1t will relieve at once or, if
DEAFNESS is just commencing, will remove the
cause and check its progress. Those who have been
long deaf should continue ITS application few weeks
to hear we'll. Each flask has full directions for use

IMPORTANT ELECTION DECISION.

Judge King, of the Court Of Common Pleas, al
Philadelphia, decided on Saturday morning, that
by the naturalization ofa man all of his minor chill
dren residing in the United States are, ipso tacto,
made citizens, and entitled to vote when of age.
Judge King based this decision on the Act of Con-
gress of the 18th of April, 1902, and on the deci-
sion the Supreme Court Of the United States, in
Cranch's Reports, where it is expressly laid down
that "the children ofpersons duly naurazed shall.
ifdwelling in the United States, be considered as
citizens of the United States" This decision is in
accordance with the opinion given by Reverdy
Johnson, Esq, of Baltimore, and Judge Marshall,

1uttering heard among the partzan presses through
out the length and breadth of the land, when the
morality of candidat for the most exalted station
within the power of the people to confer on any
man is made the subject of legitimate inquiry
Is it because that people are to be debarred the
privilege of investigation into the life and conduct
of the man who seeks elevation at their hands; OF
are they required, by hireling and subsidiz ed
press, blindly to intrust their destinies into the
hands of an individual whose deeds they denied
the right to scrutnize?

How was the moral and religious world astoun-

Bascom, which so recently appeared was heralded
forth by licentious press, endorsing the character
of that man whose name has been byword among
his own brethren for years past, carrying along
with it, not the faintest evidence of morality and
virtue, but on the other hand, associated by them
with all the prevailing vices whichcharacterze the
worldly and the vicious man.
We would for his sake--we would for the sake
of that church of which he Is bright and shining

of that religion which he processes, and for the
sake OF that reputation which he has hitherto
sustained as a candid and conscientious man.

He was tie regular nominee ofhis party, andg
but 40 out of 2s6 electoral votes, in 1882.
In 1886, he dared not even seek to be candidate
In 1910; he sought nomination from his party
and lostit. These very men who now uphold
him, only four years ago, condemned him as una
vaable, and cast him aside, as was then supposed
forever.
Now, in 1914, they have made him their candi-
date, rather by necessity than by choice, and the
campaign, though almost ended, has hitherto
brought them little else than disaster and defeat.
The solemn truth is, that neither by his PERSONA
character, by his past conduct, nor by his pres
ent anti-AmeIcan associations, nor by the princi-
Piles which he now ayows, has Henry Clay any
claim upon the suffrages ofthe American people.
The Democracy of Ohio have not only all these
things to encourage them to be active, vigllant,
and united, in the approaching contest, but they
have also the cheering remembrance of what they,
themselves, have once done, before.

FALSE STANDARD OF FEMALE BEAUTY
We are accustomed, in the present ACE
to behold delicate women, that ior want Of
good models, the ideal image which we form
of them has been very much changed. -
What are the characteristics of beauty as
represented in modern novels! Instead OF
a bright AND healthy complexion, graceful
activity, and youthful vivacity, we hear OF
Il slender ieral form, IA sy lph-like figure
and interesting paleness occasionally relicv.
ed by shade Of carnaton, an expressive
countenance gently lnged with melancholy
But it must be at once perceived that al
these characters are exactly those indicative
of delicate health; an extremely sIende
figure, flitering color, and languid ex
preston afford no favorable augury for fu
lure mother, of wife, who may perhaps b
called TO assist her husband in adversty.-
Yet the Imagination Of mothers, as well a
daughters, is iacnated hv such descriptions
they are afraid Of destroying those interesln
charms; and We meet with some girls VIII
will not eat for fear Of getting fat, and other
VINO will 90. walk for fear of enlarglug ihei
feet.
