'Gf is Q mistaken philanthropy" says
Confucius, to give cruks to babes"
We would like to know where Mr..
Confucius got his information. Con-
fucius was . tolerably clever man,
considering that he was heather
Chinee," but what did he know about
babies? We ask, calmly and dispas-
sionately, what did Confucius know
about babies? There never was a Mrs.
Confucius, consequently no little
heather of that name, at least history
don't mention them. Have old baches
been noted for the care with which
they raise children Do they know
what is best for children? Crusts are
just what mothers give children for fear
they should choke on the soft portion
of the bread. We don't know that we
should mention this mistake on the part
of the great celestial philosopher but
to show the importance OF matrimony
as a means OF wisdom. even to the
greatest minds. Had Confucius married
early he would never have given
utterance to the above proverb, for with
a multitude of babies he would have
learned wisdom, and have acquired an
acquaintance with Mrs. Winslow's
soothing syrup.

PROGRESS OF THE REvoLUTloN.-A
new light dawned upon the world with
the introduction OF Plantation Bitters
twelve years ago. Drastic purgation
went out-restoration and renovation
came in. The eyes Of the people were
opened to the great fact that the way to
cure disease is 10 strengthen and sup
port its victims, not to place them at it's
mercy, by depriving them of the little
strength they have. 1t soon became
evident that as q means Of infusing
vitality into the feeble system, regulat-
ing the secretions, curing indigestion,
and reforming bilious habit of body,
no medicinal preparation then known
was at all comparable to the new resto-
rative. Since then hundreds Of attempts
have heen made to rival the Bitters.
They have all failed, and the grand
revolution in medical treatment, which
was commenced in 1860, is still in pro-
gress. Nothing can stop it, for it is
founded on the principle, now univers-
ally acknowledged, that physical vigor
is the most formidable antagonist OF all
human ailments, and experience has
shown that Plantation Bitters is a peer
less invigorant, as well as the best pos
sible safeguard against epidemic
diseases.

Police CoURT.-There was but one
case on the Police Court docket on
Saturday.
Mrs. Stark lives in North Wheeling
She rents potion Of her residence to
Mr.. Dumas, a gentleman from sunny
France, and his wife. On the evening
OF January Sd, Mr.. Dumas went to the
apartments of Mrs. Stark and paid his
rent. He called Mrs. SIS attention to
the fact that che had been taking too
much" and requested her to dry it
up" As soon as he returned to the
bosom of his family, his wife chided
him for tarrying so long, and used some
expressions not at all complimentary to
Mrs. Stark, and not intended for her
ears. But she heard them. She was
listening at the keyhole. As she heard,
her blood boiled. She stood it, though,
until she heard herself called that old
thing" Any woman might endure it
to be called "a thing" but to be called
an "old thing" was too much for female
human nature. She bounded into the
room like chestnut from a hot stove,
and went for Mrs. Dumas waterfall
Not content with its destruction, she
struck her blow on the temple that
felled her to the floor and showed that
the "old thing" was on her muscle
For this she was fined ten dollars and
costs or thirty days in Castle Kennedy.

that the closing out sale Of Dry Goods

ly have an impressive effect on those
wanting goods. They offer SOC dress
goods for Csc; 75c all wool suitings for
374c; sl.OO dress goods for SOC; A.OO

A DISHONEST SERvANT.-A short
time ago John Roemer, the Centre
Wheeling dry goods man, engaged as a
nurse a girl calling herself Sarah
Brown. She is about fourteen years OF
age, and a clever, smart girl. Every,
thing went along smoothly until Satur'
day morning, when she disappeared, and
with her sundry articles Of clothing and
jewelry, and four or five parasols. Her
thefts were not discovered until she had
been gone some hours, when partie,
were put upon her track, and she was
captured in North Wheeling on Satur.
day afternoon. Instead Of prosecuting
her, her promises OF reform were be-
lieved, and on restoring the stolen
property, she was set at liberty.
