EXPLAINED TT TO HER.
From the Detroit Free Pres.

Yesterday morning an old lady, who
lives in the west part of the county, was
selling some butter to grocer on Mich
igan avenue, and some one mentioned
something about the Beecher scandal.
"What is that thing, anyhow" asked
the old lady. "It's been in the papers,
but my eyes are poor, and haven't felt
like reading" well, it's just this, re-
piled the grocer, as he scraped out the
crock; you see, Beecher hired Mrs.
Tilton to knit him twelve pair of socks,
and when she got EN- done he tried to
pass counterfeit bill on her." pIsthai
soi" exclaimed the aged dame, "WeIl,
| don't blame the papers single bit for
showing him up-he's worsen vaga.

Another Lesson for The Administration

AUGUSTA, October THE election for
members to the Legislature passed off
quietly. Scarcely any opposition, except
in few counties, was made to the Dem
ocratic candidates. There will not be
exceeding fourteen Republicans in both
Houses at the next general assembly,
thus giving a Democratic majority on
joint ballot of POS. In this county,
about LOO votes were polled, giving a
Democratic majority of 1900.

favor Of the Democracy TO date ? In the
following States it will be observed, the

Democratic gain IN two States and two a. ,,o
In Kentucky the election this year
was for State officers, and in Tennessee
for county oficers. The majorities Of
10000 and 10000 speak for themselves.
Montana and Wyomingagain elect Dem
ocratic Congressmen.
In Vermont the Democrats gain thirty
or forty members of the Legislature, and
reduce the Republican majority on the
State ticket by several thousand. Re-
publican majorities for Congressman are
diminished and Poland retired to pri-
vate life.
In Maine the Democrats have gained
ground on their opponents by increasing
their representation in the Legislature
and reducing the Republican majority
for Governor by 5, 900 votes since 1872
In addition to all this the Democrats
of New York have adopted platform
and nominated candidates which the

frequent that it may be said not to exist.

through Germany in various directions,
visiting nearly all the principal cities,
and have made diligent inquiry Of
American Consuls and other well-in-
formed persons, and received but one
answer everywhere, viz: No drunken
ness among the Germans; public sent-
ment would not tolerate it; the habits Of
the country are against it. The rea-
son of this freedom from inebriation is
the total abstinence from whisky, and
the substitution Of the milder beer

If in this liberal age there are persouR TO DO found
who arc go blinded by prejudice as not 70 believe
that a medicated stimulant is an item of. immense
Importance in the catalogue of human remedies, we
should like them to witness the wonderful effects
which Hostetter's Stomach Ditters are now pro-
duciug all over tho country in cases Of interm;t-
tent fever, rheutnatism, bilious disorders, dSs
pepsia. nervous complaints, constitutional debility,
mental depression and premature decay. To be
surc these effects are nothing new. The great
vegetable invigorant and it's cures have been before
tho people for more than twentF. five years. and in
every year of the twenty-five its popularity has in
creased and it's sale has become lnrgor. Yet there
are nodoubt many thousands of intelligent ~citizensI
who have never had an opportunity of observing
for Themselves the surprising changes which this
unequallcdt tonic and Alternative produces in systems
which scem to be hOpelcssly broken, and in cases
remedies. Probably many of these regard the
statelneats made in relation to the sanitary prop
critics Ofthc Bittcrs with some degree of incrodulity.
Would that all such 'skeptics could AGO with their
own eyes what the med icine is doing for the sick
and feeble every where, what a staff of life ii is
providing to the aged and infrm, what a help in
time OF trouble to feeble women'sufIering from the
complaints and disabilities peculiar to the sex,
what a protection to health and life in malarious
sion. what a specific for all diseasPs in which the
svstem requires to be vitaiizcd and sustained. OF
all stimulants il is the 'Purest and safest, of all
tonics the most genial. effective and agreeable. Of
all aItotGtiveB tho least violent and the most GER
