A late Havana paper announces the
return to Spain OF the remnant, of a once
celebrated regiment, the Chasseurs of
A~ndalusia, which has been serving in
Cuba for the last seven year.. 1t says /:
These n hundred and eighteen heroes
are the sole remnant of the second ex-
peditionary legion, which arrived on
these shores as soon as Spain learned Of
the cry Of Yara. OF the 1000 soldiers
with which this battalion reached Cuba,
those who have survived the fever, the
black vomit, lockjaw and the steel of the
enemy, sum up only one hundred and
eighteen" Remnants of other cele-

the same lists Of casualties, are being

Our Dau2hterS.

FIRST and foremost give them as good
an education as you can afford. Learn
them to cook good and healthy VIC
tuals. Learn them to wash, iron, darn
stockings, sew on buttons, make their
own clothing, and to make nt least
good common shirt. Learn them to
bake bread, and to conceive that good
kitchen has much to do, to prevent
you going to the drugstore. Learn
them that hundred cents are worth
a dollar, and he that saves less than he
spends must become poor. Learn
them that a calico dress that is paid for
is better than a silk one for which you
owe. Learn them that full round
face is worth more than consumptive
beauty. Learn them to wear good
strong shoes. Learn them to purchase
goods and to know that the bill is
right. Learn them that they can
change the image of God with corset
strings. Learn them simple, whole
some, common sense, self-trust self
help, and labOrOusness. Learn them
that M honest mechanic Is worth
more iii lis shirt sleeves and apron,
and that without cent in his pocket,
than Il dozen well dressed and res
pected day-thieves. Learn them to
work in the garden, if you can spare
the money also music, painting and
the fine arts, but know that these
things belong to the n0nessentials.
Learn them that to take walk is bet
ter than to ride in q splendid carriage
and that wild flowers are most
beautiful, to the one that studies with
care. Learn them to spurn all show,
and when they say yes, or 10, that
! they mean it. Learn them that hap
piness in married life is not enjoyed
merely outwardly, and it does not de-
pend on aman's money only, but on
his religious views and character
Have you brought this to their hearts
then they understand it, then let them
marry when the time comes, they viii

Profitable Investment.

1t cannot be doubted that a certain
amount of money invested, monthly
or annually, in advertising ones busi-
ness, is n wise procedure which no sys-
tematic or careful business man should
neglect. 1t is an investment which
WILL PAY, not merely nominal in
terest, but, in many cases, over a
hundred times the money 30 invested.
There is no danger that default or
suspension will destroy this invest
ment. There can be no depreciation
of its value, and no loss of the sum in
vested. 1t is possible for man to OBJ
tain a moderate share of success with
out the aid of advertising, if he has no
rivals who do advertise, but the same
amount of energy and enterprise,
aided by advertising, would confer on
HIM success and fortune impossibl e
without such aid and cooperation.
And should any one doubt the truth
of this statement, he has but to test
the power of advertising by invest
ment of q sum which he can afford,
and we are confident that he will re-
ceive return which it would not be
possible for him to obtain from an
outlay of the same magnitude in any
other way. On this point which is all
essential, business men should con-
slider that advertising is the fruitful
origin of prosperity and greatness !

DIR. Fennct's Capitol Bitters. This
valuable remedy for torpid and dis

The Philadelphia Press has the fol-

next fall: Outside paragraphists are
active in predicting Republican de-
feat in Pennsylvania next election;
but they omit to state that the most
distressful element is Democratic,
simply from the fear that the efforts of
President Hayes for Peace and Re-
form may succeed. These efforts
promise well and if they triumph, the
good people of Pennsylvania will be to
the front to sustain him in very heavy

good people are wishing him God
speed everywhere, here and all over
