The Man Who Stops His Paper.

Philip Gilbert Hamilton in his ad-

ped his paper" :"
Newspapers are to the whole civili-
zed world what the daily housetalk

Europe and America colonized or con-
quered whatever other territory it has
been pleased to occupy, to share from
day to day its cares, its tn oughts its
aspirations, it is necessary that every
man should read his daily newspaper.
Why are the French peasants so be-
wildered at sea so out of the modern
world? 1t is because they never
read a newspaper. And why are
the inhabitants of this United
States though scattered over a
territory fourteen times the area OF
France, so much more capable of con
certed political action so much more
alive and modern so much interest
ed in new discoveries of all kinds, and
capable of selecting and utilizing the

Blueing alone, besides having large
box of the Cheng Weng that will last
family many months.
1t is the most economical article
that can be used, costing only about
one cent to do the ironing of large
family. Warranted not to injure
the clothes, but will make them last
much longer, because they do not have
to g through the wearing out process
of washing and starching so often. 1t
gives the linen such a smooth, glossy
surface, that the dust and dirt will
not adhere to it, SO that it will keep
clean nuch longer. Even would it
keep clean no longer the beautiful
gloss finish which is impaired is sutfi-
cisnt inducement to bring it into gen
eral use. The Polish is packed in a
slide box, containing "a Lozenges

months.

doubt the best in the world. 1t new

Who Killed General BraddoCk ?

The Boston transcript furnishes
this item of news: "The death Of
General Braddock in the English ex-
pedition against Fort Duquense, now
Pittsburgh, in 1855, has been always
been attributed to wounds received
from the Indians into whose ambush
he fell on Braddock's Field, twelve
miles southeast of the city, but the
people of the mountains have tradi-
ton that he was really shot by one of
his own command, one Tom Fossett, a
Virginian scout, who was punished by
Braddock for some infrAction OF the
army regulations, and improved the
opportunity afforded by the fight to
get his revenge. Fossett was living
near Braddock' : grave within the
memory of some Living, some of whom
have heard It from his own lips when
liquol had made him communicative.
The fast-disappearing remalrs II Fort
Necessity, where Washington in this
campaign fought his first battle and
met his first retreat, can still be seen,

Good News 10 Every Family.

No more loss Of life or destruction Of
Property By the explosion Of Hero
sene.
tits fearful to think that during the
short space ofa year, there were over
948, 900 worth of property de-
stroved in the United States, by the
explosion of kerosene or coal-oil lamps;
yet the destruction of property is moth
ing compared to the loss of life. No
less than 800 men, women and child
ren, came to an untimely end during
thepast year by the explosion of lamps,
to say nothing of those persons who,
after terrible sutferings have at last re-
covered, but We're disfgured for life,
No wonder then that we say
Good News to Every Family when
Professor Thompson s Non Explosive
Lamp Powder is guaranteed to render
the worst kerosene as safe as a COM
mon candle and prevents the breaking
and smoking Of lamp chimneya.
In few days the agent for this
county, Conrad Differ, will visit the
families for the purpose OF introducing
this very necessary household prepar-
alton, when for the tritiing sum of 20
cents package can be procured which
may perhaps be the means of saving
life and property. ~

Our Own.

If I had known in the morning.
How wearily all the day,
The words unllind.
Would trouble my mind,
said when you went away,
l had been more careful, darling,
Nor given you needless PAIN
But we vex "our own"
With look and tone,
We NAV never take back again.
For though in the quiet evening
You may give me the kiss of peace,
Yet it might be,
That never for me
The pain of the heart should cease,
How many go forth in the morning
That never come back at night
And hearts are broken,
For harsh words spoken,
That sorrow can ne'er set right
We have careful thoughts for the strange
And smiles for the sometime guest,
But oft for "our own"
The bitter tone,
Though we love "our own" the best
All lips with curse impatient!
Ah i! brow with that look of scprn!
'Twere cruel fate,
Were the night too late
To undo the work of the morn.

The Vacant sunrsms Iuarsshi:


Special Washington dispatches intimate
that the appointment to the vacant Judge
ship of the supreme court, will be made in
one Of the cabinet meetings this week.
A delegation of gentlemen who called
upon the president a day or two ago to
recommend to him the appointment Of
Gen. Harlan, of Louisville, came away
with the impression that the president had
made up his mind to appoint Herschell V.
Johnson. One thing is certain, the APP
pointment is to be given to southern man.
The name Of JudgeI Hunt, of Louisiana,
is considered by those intimate with the
president, to be one that has received,
thus far, the most favorable consideration.
He is democrat and an ex.confederate.
He accompanied the president on his New
England trip, by special invitation of the
the latter. one of the arguments advanc
ed for the appointment of Hunt is that
there is at present no justice on the bench
who is familiar with the practical workings
of the code Napoleon, the local law Of thai
state.

A Beautiful Idea.

Away among the Alleghenies there is a
spring, so small that a single OK IN a sum-
mer's day, could drain it dry. 1t steals
its unobtrusive way among the hills till il
spread out in the beautiful Ohio. Thence
it stretches away thousand miles, leav-
ing on its banks more than hundred vii
lagos and cities, and many cultivated
farm, and bearing on its bosom over 9
half thousand steamboats,. Then joining
the Mississippi, it stretches away and
away some twelve hundred miles more,
till it goes into a great emblem of eternity
1t is one of the great tributaries OF the
ocean, which, obedient only to God. shall
roll and roar till the angel, with one foot
on the sea and other on the land, shall
lift up his hand to heaven and swear that
time shall be no longer. So with moral
influence; 1t is a rill-a rivuiet "a river

Louiaiana,s Troubles.

The approaching trial of the returning
board villains is causing bitter strife among
the contending politicians of the state, and
it is alleged in New Orleans that Hayes
dare not enforce his civil service policy in
that state owing to the power of the return
ing board officials. It is also intlmated
that the expenses of the defendants are to
be paid in Washington; the counsel en-
ployed for them-Wilson 4 Shellabarger
have been employed by parties near the
throne, If we may judge by a Washington
special to the N. Y. World; but special
care has been taken to direct attention
from the title of the present occupant Of
the White House. A leading conservative
lawyer of New Orleans told World cor
respondent, and he felt authorized to speak
for the state government, that the state
might be willing to drop the electoral mat
ter and inquire into the state returns
which were promulgated also for Packard
They are in favor of this, for the reason
that Packard received more votes thar
the Hayes electors, and if the returning
board are guilty Of fraud in counting tn,
vote for governor they were doubly so OIL

no title under the returns neither ha
