The Rev. I. III. Cope writes to us
from Hartland Vicarage, North Devon
" 1t is frequently affirmed that any sud-
den abstinence from alcoholic beverages
in person-much more an aged person
who has used them through life, is
prejudicial to health. An instance has
lately come under my observation Of
the beneficial results arising from the
sudden disuse Of alcoholic stimulants by
widow of eighty-two summers. Her
usual drink through life has been gin.
which she changed for beer previously
70 reaching her eightieth year. She
suffered from occasional attacks Of govt
in her left hand and also running
foot sore. Upon her reaching the age
Of eighty-that Is, two years ago-she
suddenly adopted the total abstinence
principle, much 10 the surprise and
CONSERVATION Of her friends, who all
prophesied speedy and sudden ter
mination of her life for the want OF her
accustomed rotations. Nothing of the
kind. The toe healed, the govt van
ished, and for two years she has been
free from these harassing complaints,
and is living monument of the good
effected by the sudden adoption OF
non-alcoholic regimen. She Is in her
year, and frequently walks
out into her sons garden or farm. yard,
without any covering on her head Her
memory is excellent; she can repeat
long prayers, and she bids fair to be-
come a centenarian. "-London Times.

Porte would nevertheless regard as oppor-

Porte pledges itself TO carry out projected

Dispatches OF the 10Th state: In conse-

The Cretans are still able to hold their own,
but II Is feared that Turkish achievements
will be sent TO the island. The Greeks are
much discouraged. They believe Russia is
intriguing against them.
A special from Vienna, 10th, says that the
Grand Duke Nicholas returns TO ST. Peters,

Stefano TO assume chief command. This Is
considered conciliatory step. The Servian
Government has decided to remain neutral
under all circumstances.

Candidates for Congress.

The baltimore Balietin says:-The adjourn
ment Of the Legislature has had the immediate
effect Of bringing to the front quite numer
Gus and presentakle list of candidates for
Congress. Inthe Second district, comprising
Baltimore, Hartford, Cecil and Carroll coun-
ties, there are q great many candidates.
Baltimore county claims to be entitled to the
nomination this fall and has as many candi-
dates nearly as there are election districts in
the county. Among those whose names have
been announced are Mr.. George H. Carman,
Mr.. George Fl. Williams, Mr.. J. Fred. c.
Talbot, Mr.. John Merryman, Mr.. Andrew
Banks, Mr. John |. Yellott, Mr.. L. Sturgis
Davis, and Judge Richard Grason. II is
quite probable that there will be many more
laborers come forward before the harvest is
ripe and the eleventh hour has elapsed. All
the gentlemen named above have been in
politics, and more or less in office, for a good
while, and they are all pretty well known, so
that the people Of the county will not need to
make a blind choice.
We haye.a word Of admonition to utter,
in this connection, which it would be well
for all concerned to heed. The majority
in this district, at the last election was
large, but it cannot be relied on; the dis
trict is very unstable. A good nomina-
ton on one side and an Indifferent one on
the other, is almost certain to give the
preponderance to the side of the best man.
1t IS of the utmost importance, therefore,
that a good selection should be made.
This is important at all times, but espe-
cially now. The fiat has gone forth from
Republican headquarters in Washington,
that the House Of Representatives must
be wrestsd from the Democrats at the
ensuing election. The Republicans know
that their grasp upon the Senate is broken,
and that after the 4th of March next, it
passes under Democratic domination.
They have resolved, therefore, to bend all
their energies towards securing the House,
and win bring out their best and most
popular men and lavish their means upon
the accomplishment of that end The
Democrats, therefore, should act with pru-
denee, with harmony, and with thorough
organization. Their candidate should be
such an one as can poll the full strength
of the party in the district, with the best
and strongest man of the opposition in
the field as his competitor Rumor points
to a gentleman in Hartford county, as the
probable Republican candidate, who it is
believed would be able to make the con-
test closer than it has been for some time
past. Whether these rumors have auy
basis or not, the Democrats ought to make
such arrangements as win make assurance
of success doubly sure
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1878-04-13

When the election of doorkeeper was
up before the House Of Representatives
on Monday, the name of Gen. Shields, a
Union soldier and an Irishman, was put
in opposition to that of Gen. Fields, q
Confederate soldier OF course buncombe
was in the ascendant among the Shields
men. Gen. Butler was especially conspi-
cuous His district has large number
of Irishmen in it, and Butler wants to be
reelected He could not let SO favorable
an opportunity to make home capital pass
The Democrats, while electing General
Fields, voted to place Gen. Shields on the
retired list of the army at a salary of So
900 per year, which is doing great deal
better for the old soldier than making him
doOrkeeper to Congress, a situation which
he did not ask for, and telegraphed that
he would not accept. The Republicans
used his name, nevertheless, for effect, but
they were foiled, shrewd as they thought
themselves to be. 1t was favoring the
s.rebel" cause, in the estimation Of Re
publicans, to appoint Fields to Office, but
the appointment of Gen. LOngstreet to
Office, by the Republicans, was in the in
kerest Of the Union
