over the consumers of the nation with,
out any relief to the people; it has pal
-, ,000 100000 to the bOnd-holders and
only $i00,000,000 to the soldiers; it has
drawn from the taxpayers to support
the general government S3OO,OOO,OOD
annually when the government should
have been run on one half the money;
1t has by state and national legislation
caused mortgage debt of S20,OOO,OOO,-
600 to be placed on the homes Of the
people, it has, through unwiSe legisla-
tion made it possible for dishonest
politicians to rob the government in
nearly all departments; it has failed to
give the people free and fair ballot
in the 3S states of the Union. With
this record is there any hope for free
dom through the Republican party?
Turning to the democratic party that
has been out of national authority for
twenty yesrs we ask, would there be
any hope through that partyif it should
be restored to power? 1t has been in
charge of the south for twelve years
and what is the commercial condition
of that beautiful section of country?
1t has had control of several northern
states and what has it done for the
people? 1t has had control of the sen
ate and house of representatives and
what grand legislation have we as 4
result? True, that party did compel a
restoration of the silver dollar by the
aid Of few republicans and aided to
perpetuate the grcenback dollar for
which we give it credit. But it had
the power to have repealed the na
tional banking laws, to have provided
for the payment of the debt, but it
failed TO do so. II cannot be set up in
favor of the democratic party that
the president was republican, and
therefore, such legislation would have
been vetoed. The laws should have
been passed and if vetoed, then the
president could have been held rcspon-
sible. With record like this, what is
to be looked for should the democrats
gain control of the government? Is
there hope? Not in the republican
pOrty; not in the democratic party
not in the two combined but there is
hope through Il new party pledged TO
odey the people. That party is the M
tiOnal party.

Patrick Kenny, Esq, some time ago,
suffered much from rheumatism and
tried almost every means to rid himself
of this painful evil, but in vain. He
was advised to use st. Jacobs Oil, which
he did so successfully, that all pain has
left him and he is as healthy and strong
as ever before. Mr.. Kenny is an Gil
thusiastic advocate of st. Jacobs Oil,
and it has done him good.

THE SHIP BELLS.

The tall white ships pass on and on
And wane upon the sea,
And DER the pillows broken breast
Their bells steal back 10 me,
And break trembling, SObbing, tllrong,
Upon the sands in dim, sweet song
Of rivcn melody.
And sailing DER sweet fields of gold,
And clouds, and summer blue,
Through Slanting sun, and shadows dun,
The sails slip through and through:
And thrObbing bells that trcmblc back,
Upon the fair ships fading track,
The waves with echoes strcw.
And still the ships 90 on and on,
Out gates of hazy gray,
As drCamcs upon the slumbring sense
Pass, unfullilled away,
And leaves but mcmOry'S gricying bells,
That sob and moan like ocean shells,
Ever and always.
And thus our lives 60 on and on,
Like ships, increasingly,
ThrO mornings gold and shadows cold,
That check Times varied sea.
God grant that, like the sweet ship bells,
The good that in my being dwclls
May echo after me.

NhIlNll 40 ll'lllAs
Anything and everything about mar
riage-its history, its customs, or its
ceremonics-always has an interest, es
pecially to women, with whom it has,
in all ages, been an cngroSsing subject.
Something new has been discovered on
this topic among the abOrisinals of
Australia, who perhaps more thorough
ly represent the condition of sayagery
than any people now Oh the globe.
One of the tribes, the KamilarOs, and
probably many other tribes, still retain
the custom of communal marriage. A
man, for example, is not welded to Il
particular woman, but group of men
in one class are theoretically welded
from birth to Il group of women in
another class. This is not, as may be
supposed, analogous TO prOmiscuOus
intercourse, and the present usage is
decidedly in advance of the communal
system. The communal name is re-
tanned in Australia, but marital rights
have been restricted. Communal or
group marriage is peculiar enough to
excuse illustration. 1t is as if the
citizens Of New York county and
Kings county represented two inter
marrying classes, every man here being
thus theoretically the husband of every
woman there of the same generation,
and, conversely, every man in Kings
being Ostrnshly the husband of every
woman of his generation here. a
Kings county man, would never be al
lowed, however, to wed a Kings county
woman, nor Il New York county wOm-
an Il New York county man. Thus
the individual is entirely ignored. He
exists only as II part of Il group. His
marriage is not the marriage Of an in
dividual, hut the whole tribe TO which
he belongs. The same disregard to in
dvduality attaches to descent. The
children Of a particular marriage are
not simply brothers and sisters to one
another, but the children born to u
Kings county woman, are brothers and
sisters tOall the children in that county.
Such relationship is actually acknOwl-
edged, but consequently the men and
women Of the same district do not and
cannot intermarry Civilized women
may be fond of wcdlock, but it is not
likely they would relish this peculiar
and in Il sense, wholesale arrangement.
This Australian mode of union is GER
tanly original us well as aboriginal.

School Children,s Headaches.

DIR. A. jacob, of New York, in paper
on Neuralgia in Infancy and Child
hood" read before the Kings County
Medical Society, said of the hard
worked school children nowadays, their
long confinement in school-rooms and at
home, the consecutive disorders of the
circulation, the insufficient oxygenation
of the blood because of lack of exercise,
the digestive disorders resulting from
their Sedentary life, are just as many
causes of impoverishment of the blood
and insufficient nutrition and stimulation
OF the nervous system. In all these
cases headaches are very frequent.
