MODERN WOMEN.

1t is a sad commentary upon our
boasted civilization that the women of
CUR times have degenerated in health
and physique until they are literally a
race Of invalids-paie, nervous, feeble,
and back -achy, with only here and there
a few noble exceptions III the persons OF
the robust, buxom ladies characteristic
Of the sex in days gone by. By very
large experience, covering Il period of
years, and embracing the treatment of
many thousands of cases OF those all
ments peculiar to women, DR.. Pierce, OF
the Worlds Dispen sary, Buffalo, n. Y,
has perfected, by the combination OF
certain vegetable extracts, a natural spe.
citic, which he does not extol as cure
all, but one whlcA admirably fulfilLs q
singleness OF purpose, being u most pos.
tive and reliable remedy for those weak
ne sses and complaints that afflict the
women Of the present day. This natu.
raj specific compound is called DR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The fol
lowing are among those diseas 81 in " whict
this wonderful medicine has worked
cures as if by magic, and with certain
ty never before attained by any medi
cines: Weak back, nervous and genera
debility, falling and other displacement,
Of internal organs resulting from debili
ty and lack OF strength III natural sup
ports, internal fever. congestion, inham
nation and liberation and very many
other chronic diseases incident to wo
men. not proper to mention here, il
which, as well us in the clses that hav,
been enumerated, the Favorite Pre-
scrption effects cureS-thc marvel o
the world. 1t will not do harm in an,
state or condition Of the system, and b,
adopting it use the invalid lady ma,
avoid that severest OF ordeals-the con
sulting OF family physician. Favorit
Prescription is sold by dealers in medi
cines generally.

A Double Crime..Awfui Muvdsr nd
OUTRAGE.

ERIE, Pa, Dec 29.-Tho cotoner's
jury, in the case OF Mrs Harmon, who
was found dend in the street last Sat
nrday night rendered IA verdict late
last night, that she was wilfully murd
cred by an instrument in the Lhands OF
Jno Hantz.
The evidence and circumstance con
nected with the murder shows con
clusively that he killed her and after
wards committed a nameless outrage or
her person. He then dragged her. out Of
his place and threw the body in the
gutter, where it was found. Great ex
citement exists here and strong threats
of lynching him are made, but nothin.
Of the kind will likely be attempted

The Cabinet Council, &e.
nAyoNET Law AND usErATIoN


WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.--As was in
timated in these dispatches last night,
the President at the cabinet to-day
brought up the condition of affairs in
Louisiana. The President in speaking
of the subject alluded TO the measures
which he had taken to preserve the
peace of the State Gen. Sheridan re
ceived his order yesterday morning and
Immediately made his preparations and
left Chicago last night, with several
members of his staff, for New Orleans.
No additional troops have as yet been
ordered to Louisiana, and it is not very
probable that In any event it will bd
throught necessary to send any rein
forcements. The whole city of New
Orleans is in fact now completely al
the mercy of the gunboats which lie
off the levee, and whose guns could
make it understandable in few hours,
There have been some private
kilograms received from New Orleans
to day, but their contents were com
partively unimportant. The Prcsi
dent had no additional intelligence tc
communicate TO the cabinet, and does
not now seriously apprehend the
probability of any formidable out
break in view of the precautions which
he has taken. The presence OF Gen.
Sheridan is considered as likely to
have a most restraining influence on
the populacc. His merciless charac-
ter, his partizanship, and his deep
seated antipathy to the Southern peo-
pie are SO well-known at New Orleans
that the citizens realize perfectly that
nothing would give him greater de-
light than to shoot down like dogs
those who would attempt TO assert
their rights.

Board of Trade Meeting.

The meeting Of the Board Of Trade
last evening, which will be found fully
reported in another column. was of an
important character.
The improvement OF the Christiana,
our harbor, cannot be too early effected
That it is necessary to the growing trade
of the city is admitted by all. But the
difficulty of making any permanent i'm
provement is greater than many sup
pose; and much more costly also. That
these difficulties will be overcome in
time there is no doubt. As the COM
merce of the city advances they will all
disappear. 1t cannot be very many
years before the city will begin again to
advance toward the Delaware, and the
nearer our wharvcs and shipping inter-
ests approaches that noble stream, the
less difficulty, of course, will we find in
the navigation of the Christiana.
As was stated in the remarks of Sena-
tor Bayard at the Board of Trade meet
ing, We have no plan for the permanent
improvement of the Christiana, and we
are unable to fix upon any plan that can
be carried out with our limited means,
OF with the assistance we are war;
ranted in anticipating from Congress.
We could, however, accommodate four
times the trade We do. aid it is gratify-
ly advancing. During last year, it IS
sta TED on good authority. 2358 vessels
ntered and cleared our poit This is
many more than most persons supposed,
ana certainly considering the depressed
condition. OF the trade OF the whole
country, very considerable increase.
The remarks of the gentlemen cen
nected with the Board OF Trade evinced
business energy and determination to
press forward the matter under consid-
eration as fast as possible
The Board also looks to ehectinz a
change in the present usury law of the
State; and its members hope to impress
fa7orably the legislature with the rep, al
Of the present law so far as it makes the
penalty for Esury the forfeiture uf the
principal and interest Of loan where
more than the legal rate OF six per cent
has been charged and max ing the forfeit
ure Of the interest only the penalty. Tc

Lord come to a-many doors where they
never know what they lose by shutting Of
him OUT
''I've got my Christmas gifts all ready"
said Maggie. "Such lot Of 'em, too!''
And, picking up the crutch, before it had
a chance to grOwl, she whisked it over
the floor to the corner cupboard, and back
again, with a big covered basket. "'See,
Fatherl Something for everybody at the
crossing" And Maggie spread out the
gifts, enough to load down St. Nicholas
himself. Warm cloth slippers for old
Sandy Mcbride. Cut out by an old shoe
and shaped like the foot of a equity ele-
plant; but that was no matter.
''The tailor gave me the pieces" said
Maggie, "and quilted the soles on his big
machine. And this flannel nightcap is
Tor Granny Peters; she's been wishing
for one long time" She clapped it on
her own bright head, and looked so funny
even the crutch laughed little.
Wen, cannot begin to tell you. Soft
balls and hard balls; rag dollies, paper
dollies, and queer little Old dollies, with
heads made from hickory nuts, looking
IN their Quaker dresses and white caps
| like regiment of blessed old grand
mothers. Pretty pictures, pasted on box
covers and painted gayIy: mittens, made
OF old stocking-tops and finished with
bright yarns at the wrist pin-cushions,
holders, all manner of ingenious little
trifies, manufactured out of odds and ends
Of ribbon, calico, and silk. Nothing
came amiss to Maggie
Something for everybody but me-"
said Tom, pretending to look grave.
ooh! DEAR" said Maggie "But you and
L don't want any Christmas gifts. don't
see how anything could possibly make US
any happier"
All the time the old crutch was laughing
to itself 1t knew of two secrets. One
was splendid long muffier-gray, with
green stripes at the end; every stitch knit
by Maggie and safely hid away for Toms
Christmas present. The other was pair
OF brown gloves, flannel lined and trimmed
with fur at the wrist, that were rustling in
their paper wrapping that very moment
with Impotence for Maggie to hang up
her stocking and go to-bed.
They were both asleep, Tom and Mag.
gle, that nightwhen the chimes rang from
st. Madeline's steeple. But I know that
the angels and the Lord of the angels
blessed them; for they had done what
they could to bring 'peeac en- earth and
goodwill to man."-N. 7. Independent.
