Tie election of Mills Gardner settles
the question of the payment of rebel
claims so far us this District is concerned,
and he won't be afraid to vote that the
rebellion was causeless and indefensible.
We wanted Il change, and thanks to the
Republicans of the District, we will have
it. Wilmington Republican.
The StauntOn Valley TtrgiRi0R says the
professcd reformers i'll Virginia have OPP
pressed the people, squandered their reVe-
nues, confused and mystitied their laws,
piled UP their debt, lowered their credit,
driven away capital and enterprise, stag
mated industry, and spread paralysis over
all the interests of the Commonwealth.
The only States which thus far have
elected members of the next Congress are
Maine, Vermont, Ohio and Indiana. At
present they are represented by twenty
Republicans and twenty-one Democrats
in the next House they will have thirty
Republicans and eleven Democrats. This
is good beginning.

Baltimore american, (Rep.): On the
whole, we take it that the Republicans
winning in Ohio and Indiana on Con-
gressmen are much more valuable indica-
tion of the result next month than the vote
for the State ticket in either State. Con-
gressmen are nearly always elected on
national issues, while local considerations
enter very largely into the casting of the
ballots for State officers. The Republi-
cans have carried Ohio by nearly as large
majority as they did in October, 1872
and If they haye lost Indiana, they are
just as well off now as they were in Octo-
Der of that year. If fOur Democratic friends
do not see that their i'll luck In the Con-
gressional vote of both States clouds Mr..
Tilden's canvass and inflicts upon it a
heavy blow, they are very much more OBJ
tuse than we take them to be.

The Standard remedies for all diseases
of the lungs are ScHENcK's PULMoNIc
SyRrP- SCHEScK's SEA WEED TONIC,
and ScuESCK's MANDRAKE PILLS, and,
II taken before the lungs are destroyed,
A speedy cure Is effected.
10 these three medicines DIR. j. III.
Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his un-
riyaIled success in the treatment OF pull
monary diseases.
The Pubmonic Syrup ripens the NOR
bid matter in the lungs; nature throws
it off by an easy expectoratien, Tor wnen
the phiegm or matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it OFF, the patient has
rest and the lungs begin TO heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do
this. Schenck's Mandrake Pills and
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must be
freely used to cleanse the stomach and
liver. Scheuck's Mandrake Pills act on
the liver, removing all distractions, re-
lax the gall bladder, the bile starts
freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle
-ti,auispt and Alternative; the alkan OF
which IL Is Composed, mixes with the
food and prevents souring. 1t assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach
to healthy condition, so that the food
and the Pulmonic Syrup will make good
blood; then the lungs heal, and the pa
tient will surely get well if care is taken
to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DIR. Schenck,
either personally or by letter, can do so
at his principal office, corner of Sixth
and ARCH STREETS, Philadelphia, every
Monday. =,
Schenck's medicines are sold by all
druggists throughout the country.

A Queer Idea Of Heaven.

One of the most practical and intelli-
gent negro servants l have met was
cook and hOusekeeper to some friends
to whom l was paying a visit. She
could read, write, and sew, and studied
her Bible every Sunday. She became
very much interested in my travels,
wishing to know the names of the vari-
Gus places to which 1 had been-all OF
them Greek to her. Finding that
she read her Bible, / thought she might
feel interested to hear about Egypt, the
land of the Pharaohs. '"Missus been
there?" she exclaimed, her eyes glitter
ing with wonder and delight; "I reckon
now, missile been everywhere pretty
near" Then, as if sudden thought
had struck her, 81 'spects missiles been
as far as heaven now, and seen all de
angels, and tell all bout it," Rather
nonplussed, / remained silent, and she
continued: "Warn't de singing beau
tiful. and warn't lie angels wings all
golden? | 'spects missile knows all
about it" On relating this story to her
mistress she laughed, and remarked
that, like the rest, she could never grasp
an immaterial idea, but that as far As
every day life went she was neverthe-
less the best negro she had ever had,
anu lar more intelligent than the most
vi iehem.-Apptetons' Journal.
