The History OLA National Remedy.

Here is the history of the most celebra-
ted tonic Of the age in nutshell. In 1S6Oit
was announced that q certain combina.
ton Of vegetable Ingredients, with pure
diftusive stimulant, was working wonders
in the cure Of chronic dyspepsia, nervous
debility, liver complaint, periodical fevers,
rheumatism and constitutional weakness
The unpretending name given TO the
specific was PLANTATION BITTERs. The
statement attracted the attention ofinya.
lids everywhere. The new remedy re.
ceived fair trial, and the results more
than confirmed all that had been said in
its praise. Thenceiorward it was great
success. The business columns Of the
press spread the glorious news far and
wide, and the martyrs to indigestion, bill
business, physical prostration and prcma-
ture decaY,~as if by common consent,
sought relief from tho new vegetable re.
storative. They found tuhat hey sought.
From that time 10 the present the in
crease in the demand Tor Plantation Bit
tiers has been one Of the most striking
events in this age.

Pennsylvania.

Some of our Democratic contemporaries
in Pennsylvania, are talking of what might
haze been dane, in that State, by united
front at tho late election, and what may BE-
dome by the Democracy at future elections
We think there is very little reliance 10 be
placed on Pennsylvania for Democratic
majority at any time. A Democrat Of this
county, living near the Pennsylvania Dor
der, remarked to us, few days ago, that
Pennsylvania had but one flea in relation
to political affairs, and that selfish one, Of
high tariff on inon and coal The
iron and coal men are masters Of the State,
and If they hack few votes at any time to
enable them to control it, they can always
manage to get them, by fraud or other
means, in Philadelphia, aud the poor spir-
itless Democrats there, whine over it until
they fill their party friends elsewhere with
disgust. They always utter brave words
and make fair promises Of what they in
tend to achieve, before the election; but
when the election day arrives, they permit
themselves to be run over and trodden un-
der the feet of their political opponents,
and their lugubrious wailings yex the air
for months afterwards. We think it safe
to count Pennsylvania against the Demo
Gratis and in favor of high tariff, in favor
Of the bondholders aud their money-hags,
and monopolists generally, in all time to
come. Her leading, controlling miners,
manufacturers and capitalists, are anti
democratic to the core Let her no more
be counted in the Democratic column
since, politically, she cannot be relied on

We think our national constitution has
been sufficiently tinkered and trodden un

all the States to make US new one. Let
us have convention Of all the States to
remodel our constitution, that we may
have its meaning more clear, in, terms
more explicit, and 50 thoroughly defined as
to make il impossible to mistake its mean
ing. Let us modify il, so as to have but
one term for President, and let the duties
Of each department of the government be
so thoroughly marked out as to eifectually
guard against the encroachment Of one de-
partment upon another The checks and
balances deemed sufficient in 1887, are
found insufficient now. Let us have a

Tux ESeLIsH SpARRow.-This useful
insectivorous bird was imported, few
years ago, into Central Park, New York,
for the purpose Of clearing the trees Of in
sects. From there they have spread over
the country, and are now found in various
other localities. We have seen mention
Of them in the peighboring Pennsylvania
towns Of Chambersburg and Hanover
They are also to be found in considerable
numbers upon the peninsula between the
Chesapeake and Delaware bays, where
they were introduced from New York, two
years ago. These birds are great insect
dessmyers, and Of incalculable value to
farmers and orchardists. They should be
protected from the guns of vanton men
