Domestic infelIeiiy," which Newspaper
reporters nowadays credit with playing such
an important part in life's drama, is often the
result Of lingering or chronic disease. What
husband or wife can be cheerful, smiling,
and pleasant, when constantly suffering from
the tortnres of some dread disease! Per-
hsps the husband . liver becomes torpid, and
he experiences bitter disagreeable taste or
nausea, has chilly sensations, alternating with
great heat and dfyness of the surface Of bis
body, pain in his sides, shoulders, or back,
eyes and skin are tinged with yellow, feels
dull, .indisposed, and dizzy. Through his
suffering he becomes gloomy, despondent, and
exceedingly irritable in temper. Instead OF
resorting to so reliable remedy as few
small doses of DR.. Pierces Purgative Pellets,
and following up their action with the use
of Golden Medical Discovery, TO work the
hillary poison ont of the system and purify
the blood, if he plsy the part Of . penny
wise and pound fooiish"sm he will attempt
to ecouomizs by saving the small cost of
these medicines. Continuing to suffer, his
nervous system becomes impaired, and he is
fretful and peevish--a fit subject to become
embroled in domestic infelicity."a Or the
good wifS may, from her too laborious duties
or family cares, have become subject to such
chronic affections as are peculiarly incident to
her ses, and being reduced in blood and
strength, suffering from backache. nervous
ness, headache, internal fever, and enduring
pains too numerous to mention. she may be-
come peevish and fretful-any thing but a
genial helpmate. In this deplorabls coudi>
ton of ill health, should she act wisely and
employ DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. it
will in due time, by its cordial, tonic and
nervine properties, restore her health and
transform her from the peovish, scolding,
irritable tempered invalid to happy, cheer

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. EDITOR You gave m item in your
local column of last weeks issue to the effect
that in one week (ihe ono just past) 10
barrels Of whiskey had been received at the
Charlestown Depot and you might have add
ed that these 10 barrels were for parties en-;
gagged in the traffic in the town itself. This
item you put down rs evidence of revival
of business" Now am disposed to think,
that, rs you italicised q portion of the words
hthe 10 barrels of whisky" that you were
INDUCING in pungent piece of irony. You
certainly did not mean tho general business
Of the town or that any of the more reputa-
bio avocations, the mercantile, mechanical,
grocery, etc., were revived-but this revival
was wholly in the whiskey line. Nor do I
suppose you intended to convey the idea that
this large invoice and presumptive sale of
whiskey would really add to the business in
terest of tho town, taking into consideration
the evil il would inevitably entail upon in
dividuals. families, aud the community at
large. You did state 4 fact-that big ar
rival does show q revival, that is. an increase
of the number of those who sell, for which
tho County Court, that went back on it's mo-
BILE record of two years ego and has let down
the fence to any and every body, is responsi-
BILE. And the Town Council. 10 its Christian
zeal (for one>balf belong to the church, lows
cred the iax and freely endorsed all appli-
eants for license. And as to those engaged
in the business, there is no doubt they will
do their level best to sell aad revive the trade,
even to the extent of treat, to make busi>
ness. But sir, have we not some counter
acting, rebutting influences within, to this
revival of the whiskey ring? I would feigu
believe there is a real, genuine. conscientious
religious antagonism to it aud this will show
itself practically in the pulpit as we'll as in
the pew. I know there is a living, work.
ing organism in the town. which has accom>
plished great good, gotten within its fold
many who were once slaves to strong drink,
is still adding to its numbers and widening
its influence, vigorously prosecuting its mis-
sion by moral suasion by its well nigh one
hundred members. In the labors and glo>
rious results of this noble band do I hope
and expect preventive to the whiskey re-
vivaI. My motto is, hurrah for the Good
Templars, against Rum Sellers sF faa

Harper's Ferry, W. Va.

from the New Orleans Pioayune.1
The good people of the town Of Arcadia,
in the parish of Bienvile, held an election
tho other day for town officials, of whom
there are about fifteen, all told. The number
of votes cast for mayor was thirteen. 1t ap.
pears, then, on the face of the returns, that
there are more ofice-holders in Arcadia than
voters. t.lE aE
A revolution or emeute in this community
would not under the circumstances, be feas-
ibie undertaking, for the reason that the Off
cials could turn out en- nuasse and successfully
cope with the insurgents and overwhelm them
by sheer force of numbers. When the~coun
Gil is in session at the town hall the remainder
of the village would have deserted appear
ance save for the women and children. This
condition of affairs. however, is not without
it's advantages. Squabbling for Office will
necessarily be limited, and extraordinary ac-
QUESTION of wealth by officials out Of the ques-
ton. .. ...- . r. Ha
On election day third of the thirteen
voters may act as commissioners and the re-
maiuder as constables, which does away with
any very serious danger of riot.

WIS RI THE CoRD-Woman, who whilom
was weak, was wrought upon by the wheed>
ling words Of the willy one, since when the
world weeps Ger its wickedness. Wanting
woman, the world were q waste, and We,
vending our way through its wilderness,
would watt our waiiings to the winds and
waves. Woman, without thy winsome ways,
The witchery of thy wooing words works
wonders, like the waving of the wizard s
wand; witness thy wearicss watching DER
the wounded and the wretched, withstanding
our waywardness through veal or woe.
Wanton waddlers on the wane, writhing un-
der wrinkles, may wage the warfare, but the
wise welcome and worship winsome women.

There is no marked change in none
tary affairs, the market being hardly as
active IS in the past few days, owing to
the weather and the terrible condition of
our streets. Within the past two days
large sums of currency have arrived here
from the East, and a good supply is nov
reported. Bank notes and silver coin is
still flowing into the country for the &C
commodation of planters. Loans have
been quite free, and the usual rate of s
to 10 per cent is steadily charged. Elk.
change quotations remain unchanged.
On New York and the principal Eastern
cities at &c discount, except on drafts
carrying three days grace, where
the rate is &c off; on New Orleans
&c to 4c discount, selling on all points
at par. Street rates for money
are firm at II to 2 per cent. per
month. Gold in New York to-day rules
at 1929; dealers here are paying as high
as lO2 fer sums of full weight coin, if in
eagles or double eagles. Our local secu-
rites and stocks are nominal.
