caseswith happy results-one in case
of secondary syphilis, in which the
patient pronounced himself cured af-

improving under its use, and the in

KITTY'S CHOICE


He had but daughter, the mschlevous Kitty
So fair and good and SO gentle was she,
That lovers came wooing from country and city.
The first and bodeSt to ask for her hand,
Was II trinity -dressed daady who worshipped
her tin
She replied with Il smile, he could well upder-
That she'd marry no ape for the sake of his
Skin'
The next merchant, from business retired.
Rich, equity and gruF-a presuming old sinner,
Young kitty's form and sweet face he admired,
So he showed her his palace and made a bluff bow
And said she might live there; but wickedly
then,
Kitty told him she had long go made n rash VOW
sNot to marry & bear for the sake OF his den.
A miser next came !; he was fearless and bold
In claiming his right to Kitty's affection;
lie said she'd not want for a home while his gold
Gould pay for a cabin to give his protection;
Half veXed at his boldness but calm in Il trice,
She courtsied and thanked him, and blushingly
then Ia.
Demurely repeated her sage auKt's advice,
mot to marry hog for the sake of his pen'
The next a farmer, young, bashful and shy
He feared the bold wooers who came from the
CITY;
But the flush his check and the light in his eye
Soon kindled flame in the bosom of Kitty
'Iy life will be of hard labor, he said; .
"i}ut darling come share it wit h me- ii you can
81 suppose" she replied, gaiiy tossing her head,
81 must marry the farm for the sake OF the man

Railway Consolidation.

At a meeting of the leading off
GERS of the Pennsylvania Central
and Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chi
cago Railroad Companies, held on
Friday, last in Philadelphia, arrange
ments were made whereby the latter
Company passes under the manage
ment of and is consolidated with the
former corporation. Negotiations
for the consolidation of these great
Railway arteries have been pending
many months, and it is given out
that the final agreement reached, af-
fords the liveliest satisfaction to the
managers Of both roads. By the
consolidation elected, the Pittsburg
Fort Wayne and Chicago and Pitts
burg, Cincinnati and St. Louis
Roads are consolidated with the
Pennsylvania Central, which will
have control of more than a thous-
and miles of railway, and property
approximating three hundred mil
lions Of dollars. This movement is
one of vast Importance and betokens
the shrewdness of those at the head
of the gigantic corporation Of our
State. The consolidation will af-
ford almost direct connection with
the roads leading to the Pacific
Coast now being constructed, and
gives he Central Company new and
vast fields for profit from freight and
passenger traffic.-Pittsbury Ga.

COlfaX shook hands with 500

Colfax shook hands with 5000
people at his Christmas evening re-
ception, in Springfield, Massachu-
sets. Mrs. Colfax stood at his side
and the reporter says: ''She has a
face of fine intellectual beauty, and
a dignified and affable grace as win
ming as her husbands, and as ready
for the touch of each friendly hand
for she paid the full penalty of wed
ding servant of the people, and all
there had smile and bow from
both" Colfax made little speech,
in which he said: 81 came here to
visit an old friend, whom Ihave
twice made long trips, once across
the continent, and again almost as
far; riding on the plains, climbing
the mountains, chased by Indians
all in his company; and came, as I
said, to have quiet time-as | see
it is here to night. All the emotion
al part Of my nature is with the la
dies naturally 50, under my pres
ent circumstances-all the patriotic
part goes out to these armorers. who
in our civil strife, armed a regiment
each day. 1t is not fitting that l
should speak here of the questions
which have of late, divided our
country. If should follow in the
path of my great chief, Gen. Grant,
beside whose name mine stands, it
might be as well. But Gen Grant
has spoken so well in his deeds that
he no doubt thinks it needless to
use words, and so leaves that to my
share. And upon this Christmas
day, which commemorates so bless
ed and joyous an event, and around
which cling only vheery and happy
associations, on which people Of
every nation and cline Of the Christ
mas world, in whatever they differ,
agree in rejoicing-it is right to say
on this anniversary that we are all
happy; in our nation, in recognition
accorded her throughout the world
and in our chosen President. Yes,
every loyal heart is happy to night
General Grant is happy-I am
happy!"
