A Rem edy that Dehes Competition.
Hostteter's Stomach Bitters defy competi-
ton. Of the host Of rival tonics that have
cropped up during its long career, not one has
gained and retained such a large share Of
public favor, though many have enjoyed al
ephemeral popularity. The reason is this,
that whereas many Of these medicines were
advertised to perform cures Of the most start
ling nature, they have when tested, almost
invariably turned out to be Of little or no
value. while the great invigorant. whose rep
utation they were intended to rival has never
disappointed those who have placed their
confidence IN It. II has v%indicated in the
amplest manner its claims to be considered a
positive specific remedy for liver complaint,
dyspepsia, malarious fevers, debility, cOnsti
patton, and numerous other maladies arising
from general weakness and disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels.

THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

We take great pleasure in placing
at the head of our editorial columns
to-day the full Democratic ticket
nominated yesterday for the Legis-.
lature. 1t is a ticket that possesses
elements of merit and strength,
and we expect to support the nomi-
nees until they are triumphantly
elected in November. The con-
vention was composed of good rep
r~esentative men and they did a
good days work. There was no
unseemly scramble for places and
an entire absence of partisanship.
A majority Of those nominated
were not active candidates, and sew
eral of them we're not present or
even in the city. The platform
adopted appears in another col
umn. 1t is eminently proper and
will commend itself to the judg-
ment and temper Of the public
mind. Just at this time II
is not just or desirable to i'm.
pose a greater taxation on the PEG
pie of our impoverished State thai
necessary to defray the current ex
penses of the State, sustain gu.
charitable institutions on an eco

lie schools as now conducted.

An AnnenI for the Tram.

For the tramp" no one has a
word to say but George Alfred
Townsend. He says: First came
the practical tramps, next the camp
followers, and finally the republi-
can tramps. No country was good
enough for them, or they unfit for
any so they made a vast Campuz
Martius and stamping ground Of
America. He who repudiates the
tramp is no American. The lordly
Indian always was a tramp so
we're the pilgrim fathers and the
western pioneers Daniel Boone
and Lorenzo Dow, Simon Girty and
Sergeant Bates, John @. Fremont
and Carl Schurz, Benjamin Frank
lin and Francis Asbury, George
Whitfield and George Washing
Ton, all tramped it. They call
the clergy of the great Methodist
church itinerants, the Latin for
tramps. The Mormon church sends
a man with a pretty wife ON a
mission to Observation-Disclosures
Young's word for tramp. The New
York Herald sends Stanley on a
commission - intellectual depart
ment phrase for tramp. The
Founder of all the churches said:
Take no heed of your journey,
neither shoe, nor scrip, nor staff
And Moses, the great Egyptian
tramp, first wrote Genesis, or the
Book of Coming, and next Exc
dus, or the Book Of Going. Before
Isaac could go, Ishmael was off; he
got a false start. And so they
properly call our species the human
race. All the attention of man
kind runs to legs. The very Lord,
according to the only account we
have, was seen but once, and then

AS the crew of a Footdee fishing
boat were hauling their nets on
board at the fishing ground, about
thirty miles off Aberdeen, in Scot
land, the other day, a very large
sized whale "a "fnner" - made a
rush at a heavily stocked net, and
swallowed part Of it, along with
an immense quantity Of herrings
which were sticking in the meshes.
The somewhat indigestible mouth
full seemed to make the whale rath-
er uncomfortable, the monster look

but the fishermen in the boat man
aged to tear off a bit of the net,
and the whale soon disappeared

1t was the new philosophy, operating up
on Il taste radically false, that led Mrs. Belk-
nap astray; the ceit of costly display; the
notion that money is 4 principal instead OF

the Stewarts were never able to see anything

OF honest, hard-earned money. They turn
up their noses at impecunious pride. They
sought for their famlliars, the toady and the
theft Yet, for all the decentralization they
brought into public and private life at Wash
ington, they were able to quite root out and
exnrpate the genius OF genuine manhood and
the grace of a really pure and simple woman
hood. During few years there was an es-
tablshment within the shadow of the White
House that overshadowed It, Not by routs
and balls; not by dinners and orgies; not by
external show of any sort. Yet it was sought
by the great of every party, and by eminent
strangers from all parts of the world. 1t
came to be regarded as the headquarters of
culture in the city of magnificent jobs and
jobbers. OF course we refer to the home of
Schurz. The Belknaps, for all their finery,
could not rival the unOstentatious receptions
OF the Senator, who, upon small salary.

prehend the cause, as it could never obstruct
the way of social prominence based upon
genius and merit.-Henry g. Watterson.

Expanding the Lungs.

Step out into the purest air you can find;
stand perfectly erect, with the head well up
and the shoulders back, and then fixing the
lips as if you were going to whistle, draw
the air, not through the nostrils, but through
the lips, into the lungs. When the chest is
about half full, gradually raise the arms, keep
ing them extended with the palms of the
hands down, as you suck in the air, so as to
bring them over the head just as the lungs
are quite full. Then drop the thumbs in
ward, and after gently forcing the arms
backward and the chest open, reverse the
process by which you draw your breath till
the lungs are entirely empty. This process
should be repeated Immediately after bathing,
and also several times through the day. It
is impossible to describe to one who never
tried it, the glorious sense of vigor which fol-
lows this exercise. tits the best expectorant in
the world. We know a gentleman, the mea-
sure of whose chest has been increased by
this means some three or four inches during
as many months.-Home Journal.

The song of life would lose its mirth,
Were there no children to begin it.
No little FORMS no buds to grow,
And make the admiring heart surrender,
No little hands on breast and brow,
TO keep the thrilling love-cords tender.
No babe within our arms to leap,
No little feet toward slumber tending,
No little knee in prayer TO bend.
Our lips in sweet words lending
The sterner souls would get more stern;
unieeling natures more inhuman,
And in stolc cOldness turn,
And woman would be less than woman.
For in the cline toward which we reach
Through times mysterious dim unfolding,

Cast away the good at hand;
Fortunes smile will rarely crown them,
Sought for in a distant land.
But success rides on before you,
Grapple it and you will win;

AN article on the relations between Church
and State by Professor Bluntschli, in Ger
man magazine, attracts much attention in
Europe just now, as it expresses Bismarck's g
opinion, and indicates the course the Ger
man Government may adopt. 1t says that
the Pope may be recognized officially, but in
that case he must in return recognize the
authority of the civil law, and the State in
which he resides must be responsible for any
violation of international law by him. This
last condition seems to imply that Victor
Emmanuel may be taken to task for Papal
encyclicals and accommodations. Punish
the sinner for the offences of the Saint!
