1t is perhaps not generally known that

years past this singular m%onopolist has

throughout the length aud breadth Of

hemp, admirably spun, aud of extra
ordinary strength, Humphreys ropes
fulfill their dread mission With a com
p%leteness that leaves nothing to be Do
sired. They are somewhat costly his
charge for them is six dollars apiece,
but, in consideration Of their infallible
effectiveness, the executive authorities
consider them cheap at that price.

seekers Alter Health.

Unfortunates who are seeking to
renew their health, are many. So
often have they been deceived by the
advertisements of worthless COM
pounds, that many are discouraged,
and refuse to believe anything they
read in the papers. Therefore, the
best advertisement Of a really good
medicine is the reputation it has
gained in places where it is being sold
No other remedy ever discovered has
grown so rapidly in public favor as
that true medicinal tonic called
Browns Iron Bitters. In localities
where its extraordinary merits have
become fully known aud realized By
those who have been in ill health, the
sale is unprecedented. One druggist
in our city reports the sale Of 23S bot
ties in one week. 1t is, indeed, a
wonderful, health-giying, life-saviDg
preparation. 1t is soothing and re-
freshing 10 its effect, aud strengthens
every part Of tho body, and creates
healthy appetite and digestion, ever
when the system is almost destroyed
by the many hurtful cathartics Sc
commonly used. Reader, beware

A Years Legislation for Women

Cleveland LeAder.i
Woman sufragists claim that nota-
bic progress has been made during
1881 snd support the assertion by
interesting facts. During the year
Maine gave women the right to serve
on school committees, and enacted
that married women may sell and
convey real and personal estate, but
refused the ballot. Vermont was
much more liberal, granting absolute
equality in school affairs, and making
women eligible as town clerks. YER
mont also gave to married women
engaged in business all commercial
rights enjoyed by their husbands
Massachusetts Legislators wero still
hard of heart, only removing a few
restrictions on school suffrage, but the
enthusiastic champions Of political
rights for women believe that the Old
Bay State must soon yield. In Rhode
Island a school suffrage amendment
passed the House, but was beaten III
tie Senate after a warm debate. Con
nccticut reversed this position OF the
f, two Houses, the Senate only passing
7 a school suffrage bill. Ia New York
