ALMOST daily some discovery is an
nounced, which is astonishing alike for
its simplicity and its great value. Such
is the invention by which the Forest
Tar Co., are enabled to utilize pure tar
as medicine. Its great healing power
has long been recognized, but not much
used heretofore, becaese of the ineon-
venience of handling tar in its crude
state. Under the name OF Forest Tar it
is put up IN various forms suitable for
taking internally and convenient for
outward application. Ask your drug.
gist for these preparations or write to
the Forest Tar Co., Portland, Me, for

Evil Fruits Of Weak Digestion,

There is no pathological fact more clearly ascer.
tanned than that the most formidable phases OF
nervous diseases are directly traceable to impcr.
feet digestion. Insomnia, with Its train OF direful
consequences, proceeds more frequently from weak.
ness of the stomach than from any other cause.
Mere sedatiyes are powerless to cure nervousness,
and soon cease to pallate its symptoms. The true
way to strengthen the nervous system is to invig-
crate the digestive and assimilatve organs, upon
whose unobstructed action its equilibrium is abso-
lntely dependent. The daily OF Hostetter' i
stomach Bitter, will do more to brace and SCOT ~

than all the sO-caied nervines TO be found In the

CHANGE OF OPINION.

This is what Carl Churz thought Of
Hayes before he was nominated at Gin
cinnati. In an editorial in, the Vest
liche Post he said that !" Mr.. Hayes
was not born for a leader. but rather
needs one. but may, if he falls into bad
hands, be led wrong Such a yielding
nature has scarcely grown to the de-
mands Of the present time, and besides,
as Mr. Hayes has the weakness to be a
party man, with whom the party, its
politics, and its interests stand very
high. our hopes Of him are not very
great" 1t will probably puzzle Mr..
Schurz to explain wherein Mr.. Hayes
has improved in the last three months.
He is the same weak man yet, and in
the hands - such notoriously corrupt
leaders as Chandler, Babcock, Boss
Shepherd and Morton, who are already
managing him and his campaign,
would be led into the worst kind of
practices, and give an administration
even worse than the last four years of
Grant, if such thing were at all pos
sible The only safe thing for the
people to do is to vote for Tilden, an
able and tried reformer, who will choke
off the robbers from the treasury and
save the country from destruction. -

Englishmen, and indeed most for
eigners who Judge of France from Paris
alone. are apt to think that French peo-
pie have no home life. So far is this
from being the case, that few people are
more tenderly. attached to home than
the French. For this reason they make
very poor emigrants. While the Ger
mans and Irish emigrate by thousands.
comparatively few Frenchmen leave
their country. Not only are they at
tached to their native land. but to the
very spot where they first saw the light
The poorest peasant toiling in Paris
sends part of his scanty earnings to

parents and younger brothers and sis

the time when he will be able to 90
back there, buy plot of ground, and
build cottage in which to spend the
remainder Of his days. Well-to-do
families, who occupy apartments in
Paris during the winter, retire during
the summer to the "old homestead" in
the country. to which all are tenderly

THE SONS OF SUCCESSFUL MEN.

Next to the inquiry. What becomes
of the pins? an interesting question
would be, What becomes of the sons of
successful men? A few men and few
firms are in the hands of the founders !;
but these are exceptions. The old name
and the old trade generally pass into
the hands of others.
DO you see that man shoveling in
coal Well, his children. and children
like his, will jostle your pampered sons
and rule this land, said an old New
Yorker the other day. The old names
have ceased in the pulpit. The famed
men of the bar seldom have successor.
The eminent jurists carry their honors
with them to the grave. Merchant
princes are obliterated.
The reason is clear. The fathers laid
the basis of business one way, and the
sons build another Men who earned
their fortunes by hard work, diligence
that knew sixteen hours toll by personal
attention; that were their own book
keepers, statesmen, cashiers, and often
porters, are followed by sons who do as
little as possible who delegate to others
all the work they can, and who know
more of the road than of the ledger
Famous hotel men were gentlemen,
men of intelligence, men who were the
equals of the best in the land, and who
never sunk the gentleman in their
trade. Young men who fling the ex-
amples of their sires to the wind,
find it easier to squander valuable
name, run through fortune quicker
than it was earned, and find themselves,
while young, at the point from which
their fathers started One thing is quite
marked in New York 1t is the fact
that the heavy business is getting into
