APPLES OF GOLD IN PIC
TURES OF SILVER.

"a VOID fly spoken is like apples Of
gold in pictures of silver" When the
body becomes diseased, the mind is thereby
necessarily Influenced. Nation / wars,
State dissensions, neighborhood broils, and
family differences, are the result of disor-
dere and diseased constitutions When
the body is suffering, the mind, acting in
sympathy, will become iriitated and per-
picked. When the physical system is in
health, the mind perceives things in their
true light, and the disposition assumes a
very different phase. Nothing more direct
ly tends to destroy the happy, cheerful dis
position OF a woman, and render her peev-
ish,neryous, and fretful, than a constant endu-
rance Of uterine disorders The diseases pc
ular to woman take away the elasticity and
buoyancy ofhcalth and reduce her body and
mind to wreck. Dir. Pierce's Favorits Pre-
scription is real peacemaker in a family.
No woman suffering from uterine disorders
can afford to be without this remedy. The
Favorite Prescription saves unnecessary
doctor bills, prevents divorces, wards OFF SUI
icides, brings back buoyant, joyous feelings,
restores the woman to health, and her fam
lily to happiness. It's sold by all druggists.

ROME, February 20.-Card;-

go, has been elected Pope. Car
dinal Pecci is an Italian. lie
ASSUMES The title, Leo XIII.
Cardinal Pecci was chosen on
The third ballot. The Mode
rates hesitated between Cardi-
nails Franchi and Pecci, but tie
conflicting elements BECAME
baImoDizcd, and tic result Was
The election of the latter.
The encouragement to he REQ
pie was made With the preScri-
bed formaljtics and ceremonies
from the Vatican, and create d
intense excitement, although it
had been accepted as fortgone
conclusion that an Italian Car
dinaI would he the choice OF
the Conclave.
a Paris dispatch says: "Thc
election OF Cardinal Pecci as
Pope has made q favorable i'm
precision here"
y dispatch from Rome states
that when Cardinal Pccci had
obtained fcrty-six votes, CAldi-
nal Franchi withdrew from cons
petition, and prevailed on Car
dinal Schwartzenburg TO con-
centratc his votes on Pccci
Cardinal Bil;o obtained only a
few votes, and Cardinal Sine O.

probably be appointed Pontifi-
cal Secretary of State.
The smoke Of the burning
ballots having been seen at 1880
p. m. to-day, the crowd before
the Vatican, thinking the bal
lot was again without result,
had almost dispersed, when, at
lis p. M, Cardinal Cateroni
appeared in the grand gallery
of the Vatican Basilica, and
announced in the customary
formula Cardinal Pecci's sue
cession to the Papacy. The
few bystandcrs checred most
enthusiastically, and large
crowd soon assembled, densely
thronging the open space be-
fore the Vatican and the ap-
proaches thereto.
At haI~past four the newly
elected Pope, surrounded by all
the Cardinals. appeared in the
inner gallery Of the Basilica.
The crowd yocifcronsly shouted,
Bong live the PoPe!' The
Holy Father at length made
signal for silence. then intoned
the Benedicite and pronounced
bcnediction. After this the
cheering was renewed and con-
tinucd until Tie Pope withdrew.
The circumstances Of the cleo
ton are us follows: At this
mornings ballot Cardinal Pee
Il received thirty-siX votes,
which was FIVE short Of the re-
quieite two-thirds' majority,
when the voting was finish, d
and the papers were burned.
Cardinal Franchi and those
holding the same views with
him advanced and knelt before
Cardinal Pecci. This example
being followed by others, Car
dinal Pecci's election was ac-
coRIpIished by a method known
as "by alteration" Count Sc
CUR Immediately informed the
Pope that he purposed to pre-
sent him with one million francs
as the first donation Of Peters
pence from the French Episco-
pate.
AS soon as the result Of the
election BECAME known the bells
in all the churches of Rome
were rung, and tie diplomates
went to tie Vatican to congrat-
nla;e the new Pope. The Car
dinals will remain in the Vati-
