A Philadelphia House.

If anybody in Danbury is looking out
for lodgings in Philadelphia to be occu-
pied during the centennial exhibition l
would advise him to hunt up the place
mentioned in the following advertise
ment, which I cut from Philadelphia
paper:
The upper part of house to let containing
three rooms, cellar, kitchen and back yard.
1 recommend this place because can
imagine nothing more interesting than a
cellar on the third floor and back yard
which can be reached only through the
fourth story window. / am going round
to see that house the next time visit
Philadelphia, so that / can grasp the
phenomenon better. / suppose they
have the garnet about eighty feet below
the front pavement. The only explana-
ton of the mystery that occurs to me is,
that somebody has turned the house up
side down and it stood upon its roof,
while the back yard, having adhered to
the foundation wall, remains suspended
in the air. 1t is going to be very enter
tanning to the hired girls who have to hang
out the wash on the under side of that
yard. They had better practice for a
while on the 1ying-trapeze.-Ma1 Adeler,

his face swollen out of shape, scales and erup-

which was completely covered with blOtches

him it would surely cure him. He com

each night, and the Discovery as directed
The result is, to-day his skin is perfectly
smooth and the scaly eruptions are gone. He
| has taken some seven or eight bottles in all
and considers himself cured. This case has
baffied the skill of our best physicians

THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE's position on the leading

INTO the following enunciations:
AS Agriculture is the basis of National wealth. what
policy benefits that great interest promotes the
prosperity Of the whole country. The cost of trans
portation of Western farm products to foreign mar
kets half the selling value, and the high du
lies levied to subSidize special interests doubles the
retail price of the goods received in exchange for the
crops-thus bleeding and burdening the farmer until
he staggers from weakness under the weight of the
load Hence the chief cause of hard times" among
