And, her hand in his, she said it,
simply:
"Clifford!"
In a short time they paused before
a massive entrance gate ard pretty

"This is the great place of the

They paused at the great stone steps

stone lions on guard at the door.

Then, passing the servant at the

were drowsily falling asleep, and
marble statues cleaned palely forth
from tropical, dusky hooks.

"Yours !" she gasped. "You said

"Well, not Rothchild nor Wander

of tone, "richer than all the world,
sweetheart, in you."
So, after all, Viva graces a home
worthy of her. And Jessie senten-

"Twas well we moved"
And Viva mods and smiles as she
slips her little sparkling hand into
her husbands loving clasp.

Amputation Of thu Leg
The Old Family Surgeon at Fault-Dr
David Depnedy the Successful
Surgeon.


Money is the universal necessity, and none
but cynic or fool will affect to despise it,
Mr.. Abram Ellsworth, Of Port Even, Ulster
county, N. ", had realized this truth. His
diease involved the whole OF his thigh-bOne,
and the suffering man looked forward, not
without apparent reason, to death as his only
deliverer. His family physician refused to
amputate the understanding that the opera
ton wonld kill the patient on the spot. DR..
David Kennedy, Of Rondout N. Y, who was
consulted, held different opinion, and ampu-
tated the limb. The doctor then administered
freely his great Boold specific FAvoRITE REM
EDy to afford tone and strength to the system,
prevent the return Of the disease, and Mr.. Els
worth remains to this day In the bloom Of
health. This gentleman's disease was the off,
spring Of foul blood and Kennedy's FAvoRITE
REMEDY purified the blood and restored to him
the power to once more enjoy his life. Are
you suffering from any disease traceable to the
same cause? Try Favorite Remedy. Your

Have we net time and again called after F:

We have often published his compliment

The Tariff.

Some of the Democratic leaders have snddenly
discovered that tariff is one of the things that
the American people are especially bound 10
have. This new light has burst upon Demo-
cratic eyes with particular brilliancy IN 1udanH-
Dan. voorhees, has publicly declared that the
Democratic party must become a tariff party !;
while Hendricks has written magazine article
in which he expresses the opinion that the tariH
shouId be taken ont of politics. Inasmuch as
the tariff has been very large proportion ei ti'e
politics of the country, for the past forty years
or more, this demand is like asking that politics
be taken out of our national elections The
matter with these Indiana Democratic Polh-
clans is, that Indiana has become a manufactnr-
ing State. She is full Of ofmanufaetories, through
out all her borders; and, of course, she Is ih
favor of tariff That was Enthusiastically dem
onstrsted in the elections of lSsO. The SOUTH
that has been the Free-Trade stronghold for 10
many years. is moving in the work Of estabiish-
ing manufactures. When that is accomplished,
she will be as strongly for tariff as Pennsyi-
yapia is. Then what will become of the Demo
cratic party, with its free-trade platforms from
time immemorialf Where is the Democratic
national platform that does not demand free
trade, or, about the same thing, ''tarif for
revenue onIyf" Have the Democracy so poor
an opinion of the people of the United States
that they think they can bring them to the sup
port of that party by Suddenly declaring for tar
IN, when there is party in the country that
has always proven itself tariff party, as did its
predecessor, the Wing party, before it! Why
should the people abandon the Republican par
ty, that has fought and won the day on a tariff
issue, and unite with the Democracy, that op-
posed tariff until they found that the people
were determined to have iti They will remern-
ber that this same party once carried Pennsyl'
vania, by pretending to be in favor OF tariff,
but basely betrayed her, the first opportunity
that offered. After fighting the battles of slav-
cry, and opposing the war for the Union, the
Democratic party stepped up and asked to
be entrusted with the work of reconstructing
the Government upon the new order of things
The people refused to trust them with that i'm
portant business, and SO they will on this tariff
question.

THE GUrTEAU FARcE.-The disgusting proceed
ings in the trial of Guiteau still continue. The
cheeky assassin continues to occupy the time of
the Court with his clownish remarks and actions,
amid "great laughter" and Judge Cox seems to
be powerless not disposed to keep him in check.
The other day, the beast was allowed to defame
the character of a witness who had not yet testi-
fied-being no other than his divorced wife,
whom he learned was ON her way to Washington,
to testify-assertBg that she had had an illcgit-
innate child before marrying him. Justice is be-
ing made buplesque of, in order that the assas-
sin may be allowed to play crazy, and the feel
ings of the peoble of the whole country are being
outraged. The brute, who was formerly unable
to pay for a square meal, is fed on the choicest
dainties of the land, and is allowed two break
fasts each morning When he rises in Court, he
is surrounded by circle of policemen, to insure
his safety, instead Of using the policemen to
choke him down, and silence his foul tongue, and
prevent the repetition of his blasphemy about
being the agent of the Almighty in numbering
Garfield. The newspaper comments and the let
ters that pouring in upon Judge Cox, must
certainly arouse him to a sense of the indignity
that he is permitting to be heaped upon justice,
decency, and humanity. Even the foreign pa
pers are free in their expressions of disgust at
the performances. A Washington evening paper
expresses the sentiment of the whole country, in
the following remarks. Public patience is about
exhausted, and not only will Guitean be silenced
in Court, if the Judge fails to do it, but he will
not live to enjoy his acquittal, if Judges and ju
ries attempt to assist him in his farce. The pa
