SWEET BELLS TANGLED.

The firm of Shic q MacNcll is pretty wei
known now in The printing line; but, as til,
sang says;
"Whru they began. they'd no meat IN the pan"
'ulI before they were fairly ON their legs, so t.
speak, Mac Neil went and married "a lass with
'1uJ Il tochcr." Shiel had yearned over this
extravaganza himself; and going down one
day with his partner to the old place where
they had learned their trade, hearing from the
prcss-room the old sweet, familiar voice sing

way so readily TO the particular press that the
young English girl was feeding, and Jenny
met his approach in such Shy, trembling
glid confusion, poor Shicl felt his heart sud
d-nly fart within him, and stole away, after a
minute or two, to be alone with a singular
lang OF desoation that had swept over him
When MacNeil joined him, Shiel was himself
again, but there was something in his face

matter. Had he lost anything?

 Dear Sir,--When the late District Judicial Convention was held at Russeliville, l refused to allow my name to go before sald Convention and stated I would probably run the race through to the polls. l felt jus tiled in taking that course from the fact that there was no Republican candidate in the field for the office of Pros.

 To my friends who have so kindly and liberally supported me m tue campaign l return my sincere thanks and would respectfully recommend that they give Capt. McKennon their hearty support. As to those who have opposed my nomination have not the least unkind feeling, for while l would have felt proud and highly complimented by their sup port, yet l recognize the fact that they only did as my friends, sup ported the man of tEeir choice; and in supporting Capt McKennon, they supported n gentleman well worthy of the position.

 Dear Sir,-I wish to give you this testimony, that you may know, and let others know, what Vegetine has done for me. About two years ago small sore came on my leg: it soon became a large Ulcer, so troublesome that l con- suited the doctor, but got no relief, growing worse from day to day. l suf- fered terribly; l could not rest day or night; I was so reduced my friends thought would never recover;I l con suited a doctor at Columbus. follow ed his advice: it did no good. I can truly say was discouraged. At this time was looking over my newspaper: I saw your advertisement of Vegetine, the ssGreat Blood Purifier" for cleans ing the blood from all impurities, cur ing Humors, Ulcers, &c. I said to my fanily,s I will try some of the Vegetine. Before had used the first bottle be- gan to feel better. l made up my mind had got the right medicine at last. 1 could now sleep well nights. 1 con- tinued taking the Vegetine. 1 took thirteen bottles. My health is good. The Ulcer is gone, and am able to attend to business. I paid about four hundred dollars for medicine and doc tors before Thought the Vegetine. l have recommended Vegetine to others with good success. l always keep a bottle of it in the house now. It is a most excellent medicine. Very re- spectfully yours, r. AN'CHON1. { MT. Anthoni is one of the pioneers of Delaware, O.i He settled here in 1881. He is a wealthy gentleman, of the firm of r. Anthoni & Sons. Mir. Anthoni is extensively known, especially among the Germans. He is well known in Cincinnati. He is respected by all.
 IMPURE BLooD.---In morbid conditions of the blood are many diseases; such as salt-rheum, .ring-worm, boils, carbun- cles, sores, ulcers and pimples. In this condition of the blood try the Vegetlne, and cure these affections. As a blood purifier it has no equal. Its effects are wonderful. lied -a.13iNat

CAMEKON,s aAmnOF BLUFF.

Gov. HARTRANFT is nominated oy
Pennsylvania paper of some prominence
as q candidate for DoNK AMERoN's seat
in the Senate aud it is generally believed
that this announcement Is made by the
Governors authority. In commenting
on this, some of the Republican papers
say they have long expected rupture
between CAMERON and HARTRANFI, and
then proceed to utter mid criticism
upon the latter.
This sort Ct dodge shows clearly that
the Radicals are fearful of the result
of the next State election, and are play
ing some of their sbarpest tricks to pre-
vent desertion among the rank and Tile
of their party, and to make sure OF the
Legislature. Every man who is at all
familiar with the political complexion OF
affairs in the Keystone State, knows fall
well that the success OF the Re
publican party means success 10 the
CAMERON ring. 1t is selt-evident fact,
and will not be argued or ex-
planned away. Just as certain as
the Republicans elect their needed ma
jorIty to the Legislature, just so certain
will Don CAMERON remain in the Seaate
and maintain his gruesome grip upon the
patronage and management OF the Slate.
This HARTRANFT dodge is a mere bluff.
HARTRANFT is personally popular with
his party, and be can carry Legislative
districts which CAMERON regards rs
doubtful for himself When the Legis
lsture meets, these members will find
that they have been sold and are IN Tire
minority, and after perhaps giving
HARTRANFT a complimentary note, they
will be required to unite on CAMERON
who will come in with colors flying and
drums boating, and will laugh in his
sleeve at the stupidity of his dupes and
the shrewduess of his friends and work
ers. The honest Republicans OF Penn
sylvania who are sick Of CAMERoNIAN
rottenness and rsscality should not allow
themselves to be thus led astray like q
parcel of sheep who in seeking new pas
lures are recklessly lost in an unseen
ditch.

posed Of to-day. Yesterday the bill wss
reached in Committee of the Whole, and
BUTLER demanded its first reading. Efforts
were made to dispense with the reading,
but BUTLER was inoxorable. After the
Reading Clerk had droned away ssmoe
time, BUTLER made q proposition to sus-
pend the reading. cut of all debate and
come to direct vote on striking out the
enacting clause to-day { Wednesday, at
y o'clock. This was agreed to; so we
will now probably see the last of the
tariff bill for this session.

WE do not hear that thunderbolt of
denial which the rabld Republican cor

be forthcoming from john SHERMAN,

the Potter Committee. The correspond
ents said that only copy would be pro-
