How u Young Lady Won 5000.

But here comes one of my favorites,
writes the Boston correspondent of the
San Francisco Bulletin. Isn't she fine,
looking? No? Well, listen while tell
you her story, and learn why like her
looks. Some years ago, man, who haa
more money than good reputation, ad-
vertised that he would give s5,0OO 70
any respectable white woman who would
walk unveiled from the Adams House
entrance down Washington street WIN
hiin, at an hour when all the fashions.
bles were promenadlng. For weeks llia'
offer remained untaken, for his repuia'
ton was such that no respectable woman
would be seen with him, and the adVer'
tisement had said that none others
need apply" Finally, this woman Nno o

and TO join him at the appointed plste

The CONDITION Of the two Parties.

- ~--~~
This is good time for each party to
take an account of stock: to indulge IN
determination to overhaul its cani-
paipn ammunition How do the two par
ties stand before the country to-day
which one can appeal to the country for
votes with the greater confidence
The true answer is that the republican
party is i'm condition to make I magnifl-
cent campaign; and that the democratic
party will pass from Cincinnati into the
canvass as badly Handicapped as at any
time in its history.
Senator Hoar in his admirable speech
upon taking the char Of the Chicago
convention, drew a contrast as true as II
was sharp between the result of repubii-
can and democratic rule during the past
twenty years. The republican party dur
ing that period has been synonym for
practical and most fruitful patriotism; the
democratic party for-the precise oppo-
site. The republican party has stood in
the breach the democratic party stood in
the way. The republican party saved the
Union; the democratic party sneered and
doubted and threw cold water on our
cause and called convention to declare
the war failure. The republican party
passed the Constitutional amendments
that secured the result of the great strug-
gle; the democratic party opposed the
amendments and through their repre-
sentatives in Congress voted solidly
against them. The republican party has
been the uniform friend of honest money ;
the democratic party has been the chief
reliance of inhationists and reputation
lists.
If the comparison between the two par
ties is limited to the last four years it will
be found equally favorable to the repub-
licans and equally damaging to the dem
ocrats. Our party can well afford to go
before the country on the administration
Of President Hayes. 1t may not have
been brilliant. but it has been honest. 1t
NAV not have been rendered memorable
by any great strokes of policy; but on the
other hand it has not been stained by any
scandals Under it there has been peace,
tranquility, an elevation of the tone of
public service. The public debt has
steadily diminished, public confidence
steadily increased. Has the democratic
party an equally good campaign docu-
ment in the recordof Congress during the
last four years? Will the extra session,
with its revolutionary schemes, help it
with the people? Will its plot to starve
the Government win it votes among pat
triotic men? Will its efforts to cripple
the army gain it favor among the boys in
blue? Will it's assault upon the election
laws commend it to those who desire a
pure ballot box? These questions admit
of only one answer, an answer which is
fatal to the hopes Of democracy in the
great contest just ahead.
1t thus appears that there is every rea-
son why our own party should 60 into the
fight confident of victory and our antago-
nists confident of defeat. The result of
the November election will show that the
confidence of each was well founded

Rev. Sylvanus Cobb thus writes in the
Boston Christian Freeman: We would by
no means recommend any kind of medicine
which We do not know to be good, particular
ly for infants. But of Mrs. Winslow's Sooth-
ing Syrup We can speak from knowledge; in
eur own family it has proved blessing in
deed, BY giving an infant troubled with collie
pains, quiet sleep and unbroken rest At night.
Most parents can appreciate these blessings.
Here is an article which works to perfection,
and which is harmless; for the sleep which it
affords the infant is perfectly natural and the
little cherub awakes ~ ''bright As a button. "

is incalculable, We have frequently heard

Elegant Hair is woman's crOwning beauty.
When it fades she fades as well. While it is
kept bright, her personal attractions are still
maintained. By preserving the hair fresh
and vigorous youthful appearance is con-
tinued through many years. Those who
grieve over their fading hair turning gray too
early, should know that Ayers Hair Vigor
prevents it, and restores gray or faded hair
to its natural color. 1t is clear and health

GEMs.-It is every year becoming more and
more the fashion to wear diamonds. Dia-
monds are not now worn only by the very
wealthy but by thousands of persons of mod
crate means. There is no ornament that can
be purer or In better taste. A diamond, If
properly selected, always has value, and is
therefore not merely an ornament but also an
investment. Bailey, Banks 81 Biddle, 18th
and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia have been
for so many years in the business of import
ing diamonds, that their judgment can be re-
lied on by those of our readers who wish to
invest in these most desirable of all gems.
Many will be astonished to know how low
diamonds are. Those who are buying the
larger and more costly stones Will also find
their desires met with an immense and well
chosen assortment.

= We have read of an old horse that had
been used for years to grind up clay for a
pottery, ard when the animal became too old
for use, he was turned out in a field to grass
But the old habit strong upon him
that he went through the motions of grinding
and for hours each day he would go round
and ruuad in circle. This old hose has his
counterpart in the Hanterdon Democrat. IL
has ground mud for so long time, that now
that it bias been turned out to grass, il still
goes through the motions of talking about
''perjury and bride taking" and even has
the effrontery to talk of the Chinese letter as
though it were genuine. Like the old horse,
it thinks it is accomplishing something when
it is only going through with the motions.

Some years since the late Samuel D..
Stryker wiiled to the people of Lambertvi'le,
one Thousand dollars for the purposes of a
library, conditioned upon the inhabitants
raising an equal sum. Weak efforts have
occasionally been made to secure the necessary
subscriptions, but without success. In the
meantime, the interest accruing from the in
vestment of the $1,000 has swelled the total
sum to about $2l00.
Recently, the Rev. P. A. Studdiford, D..
D., took the matter in hand, and has thus far
secured subscriptions on on the part of our
citizens to the amount of over $1700, leaving
less than $400to be subscribed in order secure
the legacy. 1t is to be hoped that when the
effort is SO near accomplishment as this, it
will not be allowed to fail. -Four thousand
two hundred dollars will give to our city a
library of which we may we'll be proud and
which will 90 great good in instructing the
people.
