Cross Husbands and Scoldinq
Wives.


Domestic infelicity," which news
paper reporters nowadays credit with
playing such an important part in
lfe's drama, is often the result of ling
ering or chronic disease, What hus-
band or wife can be cheerful, smiling
and pleasant, when constantly suffer-
ing from the tortures of some dread
disease? Perhaps the husbands liver
becomes torpid, and he experiences
bitter, disagreeable taste or nausea,
has chilly sensations, alternating with
great heat and dryness of the surface
of his body, pain in his sides, shoul-
ders, or back, eyes and skin are tinged
with yellow feels dull, indisposed, and
dizzy. Through his suffering he be-
comes gloomy, respondent and exceed
ingly irritable in temper. Instead of
resorting to so reliable a remedy as a
few small doses of DR.. Pierces Purga-
tive Pellets, and following up their
action with the use of golden medical
Discovery, to work the hillary poison
out of the system and purify the blood,
if he play the part of the penny wise
and pound foolish" man he will at
tempt to economize by saving the
small cost of these medicines. Con-
tinuing to suffer, his nervous system
becomes impaired, and he is fretful
and peevish-a fit subject to become
embroiled in domestic infelicity. p"
Or the good wife may, from her too
laborous duties or family cares, have
become subject to such chronic atfec-
tions as are peculiarly incident to her
sex, and being reduced in blood and
strength, suffering from backache, ner-
vousness, headache, internal fever,
and enduring pains too numerous to
mention, she may become peevish and
fretful-anything but genial help
mate. In this deplorable condition Of
i'll health, should she act wisely and
employ DR.. Pierces Favorite Prescrip-
tion, it will in due time, by its cor
dial, tonic and nervine properties,
restore her health and transform her
from the peevish, scolding, irritable
tempered invalid to a happy, Cheerful
wife. Laying aside levity and speak
ing seriously, husbands and wives, you
find the Family Medicines above men
toned reliable and potent remedies.
For full particulars of their proper
ties and uses, see Pierce s memorandum
Book, which is given away by all
druggists.

COUNTY, MARYLAND SATURDAY,
THE PARTING HOUR.

There's something in the parting hour
Will chill the warmest heart
Yet kindred, comrades, lovers, friends,
Are fated all to part.
But this I've seen-and many pang
Has pressed it on my mind
The one who goes is happier
Than those he leaves behind.
No matter what the journey be,
Adventurous dangerous, far,
To the wild deep Or bleak frontier,
To solitude or war
Still something cheers the heart that dares
In all of human kind, 80
And those who go are happier
Than those they leave behind.
The bride goes to the hridegroom's home
With doubtings and with tears,
But does not hope her rainbow spread
Across her cloudy fears?
Alas the mother, who remains,
What comfort can she find
But this, the gone is happier
Than one she leaves behind.
Have you friend-a comrade dear
An old and valued friend?
Be sure your time of sweet concourse
At length will have an end
And when you part-as part you will
Oh, take it not unkind,
If he who goes is happier
Than you he leaves behind.
God wills it so-and so it is;
The pilgrim on the way,
Though weak and worn, more cheerful ii
Than all the rest who stay.
And when at last, poor man, subdued,
Lies down to death resigned,
May he not still be happier far
Than those he leaves behind?

LET no man who reads the telegram

LET no man who reads the telegram
from Deadwood printed elsewhere
imagine that becauseso many thousand
dollars worth of gold have been
stamped out of the Black Hills ore in
an incredibly short run the prospect
Of making a fortune there is any
brighter than we have heretofore
stated it to be. The truth is simply
that all the valuable claims have
been already taken up; that most of
these require capital to be made
productive, and finally that nothing
but the hardest sort of work will even
then suffice for their development.
Only young men who are fond of
working in the water up to their
waists, dining on hard taci, and dodc.
ing bullet now and then, should
think of emigrating to Deadwood.
THE constitution of Oregon was so

for this State to run into debt, as
other States have done, in flush times,
and the whole State is happy in conse-

The Midnight Bell,

Since 1858, a period of nineteen years,
the midnight bell Of the Adams street
engine house has tolled out the hour of
twelve. Poe wrote q wonderful poem on
the music Of the BELLS" the midnight
bells. the sounds Of which float upon the
air, filling each street, alley, etc, with
the softest aud most delicious music.
For years the night wanderer, the don't

smorata, listened for the engine-house
bell to announce the hour for going
home. 1t is the finest bell in the city,
and its strong and dulcet tones are heard
throughout the city from Chelsea to Fort
Pickering. Even those who had retired
to rest before IL o'clock tumbled and
tossed in bed until the solemn and sooth-
ing sounds of that midnight bell we're
waited to their ears upon the pulsat.
ing air; then they closed their weary
eyes and sank into the realms
Of sleep and dreams. Nineteen
years have made the bell familiar to
thousands of citizens; it was a household
thing which they rejoiced to hear speak
in reverberating toues-but they have not
heard it for a week. It's voice has been
s~ilenced except when its brazsn mouth
is opened to give the alarm OF fire. The
midnight bell, so loved by Memphis, hap.
pened to be distasteiul TO some unmusi-
cal people who roasted near the corner
Of Adams and SecoAd streets, and they
managed 10 silence its voice. Hundreds
Of people listened for it nightly, set their
watches by it, went to bed at its invita-
ton, were more or less governed by its
musical mandate, and now instead oil

1t ia claimed that Memphis has no
boundaries at present except those &C.
extensive with the State boundry lines.
The general law authorizes communi
ties Of thirty.6ve thousand inhabitants
and over TO organize into a corporation
or city. Section 81, Of the act of March
%, 1875, repealed the acts of 1869, 1870
and others creating a charter for the city
of Memphis. The general council never
fixed any boundsy lines for the city
since the act of 1875 was passed, which
repealed the old charter, Of which sec
ton 2 fixed the boundary lines. 1t is now
claimed, and with some show of reason.
that the city cannot sustain any case
heard before the recorder, because the
offences must be alleged, and, if required,
be proven to have been committed with
in the boundary lines of the city, and if
no such bounday lines exist no case a
be sustained. We understand that this
