AFTER WAR, PEsTTLENCE AND INTEMPERANCE
Colds lead to the greatest destruction of human life,
mainly because Cold is too often considered very
ordinary triniDg affair, just well left to go as
came, and hence Systematically neglected, until
simple durable affection is converted into serious
and generally fatal Pulmonary disease. The more
prudent aware that a violent Cough or Cold should
never be trihed WITH but, on the contrary, taken
care OF from its incipiency, promptly make use Of
DR.. Jaynes Expectorant, a curative which has sus-
tanned its reputation. for over thirty years as a
remedy always ellcacious, and sure to exert most
beneficial influence on all the Bronchial and Pull
monary organs. Sold by all Druggists.

THE NEW YORK ELECTION.

The New York World, in commenting upon
the triumph of Hoffman, assumes that the
leadership of the Democracy of the entire
Union will now devolve upon the Empire
State, and that Tammany Hall will thus strive
for national ascendancy as complete as that
which it now exercises over ill-fated Gotham
The World claims that the principles which
have fsund favor in its eyes must supersede
those of the party leaders who have gained less
favor in popular contests, and this claim will
no doubt be sustained with sufficient vigor
to give it a fair chance of enforcement. The
point specially aimed at, apparently, is the
avoidance of all direct war issues. The
Pomeroys and Nasbys are ordered to keep in
the background, to think what they please
about repudiatiop, galyanizing a new Rebel
lion, mobbing the negroes, honoring treason,
and nullifying constitutional amendments,
but to ignore such topics until the Demo-
cracy are restored to power. The main thing
to be openly advocated is free trade. About
the only well-defned national issue clearly
raised by the World is deadly hostility to every
form Of protection to domestic industry. On
this point the Hoffman platform
was as blatant ss Pomeroy is about
reputation, or the Saulsburyites of Delaware
about colored voters, or the Ku-Klux Organi-

THE election Of Tuesday secures Repub-
ican ma jority in the next New Jersey Legs-
lature, and it is therefore certain that Hon.
A. G. Cattell will be returned to the Senate
of the United States when the election for
Senator takes place in May next. Pennsyl-
vania as we'll as New Jersey is interested in
this event, for Mr.. Cattell is so situated that
he is as much o representative of this
State as he is of his own, and
as a firm friend of the tariff and
of reform in the administration of the Gov
ernment, he will undoubtedly exert q most
important influence in the Senate. Mr.. Cat
tell for some time past was in bad health,
but he has now nearly if not quite recovered,
and by the time Congress meets he will pro-
baby be in condition to resume his duties
with increased efficiency During the time
he has been in the Senate Mr.. Cattell has
proved emphatically that he is the right man
in the right place, and it would
have been a misfortune to the Republican
party, no less than to the industrial and COM
mercial interests of New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania, if Democratic victory on Tuesday had
made his retirement at the end of his present
term probable. MIR. Cattell is and always has
been firm and consistent supporter of the
policy of the Republican party, and he can be
relied upon to support all party measures in
the Senate with his voice and his vote.

Victor Hugo.
From the Cincinnati cOmmsreial.l

From the Cincinnati Commercial.l
As long as Victor Hugo remained an
exile on the little island Of Guernsey,
and sternly and haughtily refused to re-
turn to France while be whom be styled
the modern Tiberins vas yet on the i'm
perial throne. the great poet and roman
cist was an object Of respect and admira-
ton even 10 those who did not Eympa-
thize with his political principles But
In the course OF the fer days which have
elapsed since his return 10 his native
land be has shown, in q manner which
must convince even the dnllesf intellect,
that he is thoroughly impractical man.
The author Of Lea Miserables evidently
labors under the delusion that he is doing
wonders for his poor, Inundated aud
suffering country by issuing, daily, new
manifestoes containing many magnih-
cent thoughts and many magnificent but
hollow and absurd phrases. he IS infat-
uated enough to believe that these mani
festoes make the most profound impress
sion, not only upon the minds Of the
French people, but also upon those Of the
German nation and the German soldiers
now upon the soil of France. In con-
versation which an English journalist
had, on the lltb instant, with Victor
Hugo, the latter, referring TO his Appeal
TO the Germans, said: ltl.r
The appeal addressed to all Christian
Germans was the only response to the
many solicitations received from every
quarter of Fatherlc nd TO raise my humble

check Alterations.

From the New York SUM- aaa
The bank officials are somewhat
troubled now by apprehensions of the
operations of gang OF expert check
alterers, who are evidently fitted with
all implements and chemicals necessary
for their nefarious calling. The bank
officials are extremely reticent concern
ing their knowledge Of the operations OF
the gang, but all concur in expressing a
desire for their dispersion and capture.
The alterations are effected by new
patent ink eraser, aided by chemicals.
A check for small amount is OBJ
tanned from some person doing business
with the bank, the drawer being requested
to have it certified by the bank. 1t is
then altered by the process already
spoken of and the cash is rapidly OBJ
tanned. OF late, il is said, several banks
have been seriously victimized, but the
bank officers have suppressed the fact.
Yesterday an altered check was pre-
sented at the st. Nicholas Bank, and
being authentic in all particulars except
ing the most important one of the
amount, was cashed without unusual
suspicion. Subsequently the forgery
was discovered. 1t is reported on the
street that the check was altered from
800 to $1,000. but the bank officers re-
fused TO impart any information.
1t is thought that the gang is the rem
nant of that which co-operated with
Gray, the forger, last spring.

A Romance Founded on Absolute
Faet-An Honest Farmer Wins "a

From the watertown Times.l
A short time since there lived in the
busy village Of Belleyille, in the province
of Ontario, maiden who had fought the
battles Of life for twenty years or so
Her education was fair, she was quick
to learn, apt in conversation. and intel
ligent. In course Of time she became
waiter and chambermaid in the Anglo
American, a well known hotel in the
aforesaid Belleyille. She became ac-
quainted with the young men Of the
hotel, several in particular, perhaps a
little too well for her honor and virtue.
A dark cloud rose up upon her life just
here, and now rests upon our story. She
stumbled and fell Imagining she knew
her destroyer, and fixing the stigma Of
guilt upon one Of the young men here
inbefore mentioned, who had emigrated
to the land of the free and the home
Of the brave" she set out TO discover
him. She came to WATERFOWL.
Faithfully performing his duty in a
gentlemanly manner, in the service Of
one of our best hotels, she found the OBJ
ject of her search The young man de-
cused, and declared his innocence
whereupon the grief-strieken damsel
caused him to be led before bar Of jus
tice. to be confronted with the majesty
of the law, and to be led away 10 prison
There he disdained conditional offers Of
release, and settled down to watch and
wait the verdict. Before it came, the
poor girl in grief had wandered TO the
house Of some good Samaritan in the
Fourth ward, and there she unrolled to
her friend the panorama Of her past life,
and was permitted to abide until a
brighter future should dawn.
In an unexpected glad hour brother
of her kind friend, a farmer residing
near our city, came upon the. scene. His
wife had passed from earth a few months
before, leaving him the widowed father
of five orphan children, since which time
he complained to his sister that he had
experienced great difficulty in obtaining
a servant who was faithful, and who
would do the fair thing for the orphans.
He saw the heroine Of our story-he was
pleased with her and she was pleased
with him. He took her to his home
showed her his farm, the house, the cows
the calves and the children, and she was
still more pleased So, on Saturday last
at the residence of the kind sister, they
were made husband and wife The off
ciating clergyman, knowing the facts il
the case, and wishing the bridegroom
10 know the same, asked him few ques
tions. His principal reply was, All
right; if she can take care Of five chill
dren. / will take careof one. The sun nov
shines on happy rural home; the prison
walls no longer confne an innocent vic
tim, and ais well that ends well.
