queer story comes from Delaware county (Pa.) of "a happy family, whose head, pros porous and generally esteemed farmer, near ly 100 years old. died last week. For forty spoken a word to his wife nor had she to him, nor had any one of their five children, of whom three, with their mother, are still living, spoken 8 word to any other member of the family. And yet they all lived peace fully under one roof and were in full posses sion of their faculties Forty years ago, it. said, the wife was bequeathed small sum of money by 8 relative, which her husband de- sired to use in purchasing farming imple- ments and otherwise improving the property. She said no. He vowed that unless he was given the money he would never speak an other word to her. This VOW he steadfastly kept to the end of his life. The three daughters, then quite young at first tried to reconcile their parents, but failed. Then one sided with the father another with the mother, and the third became disheartened with the whole job. So they quarreled, the two sons died and never again word was spoken in the household, save to visitors
 The death of the husband and father has made no change in the situation, and the sur vivors n.ove about the house as if utterly ] oblivious of each others presence.

The blood is the foundation of life, it circulates through every part of the body, and unless it is pure and rich, good health is impossible, If disease has entered the system the onLy sure and quick way to drive it out is to purify and enrich the blood.
 These simple facts are well known, and the highest medical authorities agree that n0tAing but iron will restore the blood to its natural condition; and also that all the iron preparations hitherto made blacken the teeth, cause head ache, and are otherwise injurious.
 BRowN's IRON BITTERs will thor oughly and quickly assimilata with the blood, purifying and strengthen ing it, and thus drive disease from any part of the system, and it will not blacken the teeth, cause head ache or constipation, and is posi- lively 'i0t injurious.

The death of President Allen, of Girard college, Philadelphia, has called attention to
 the provisions made in the will of Stephen
 Girard against Christianity being taught in the institution which he munifcentIy found ed. During MT. Allen's illness neither his pastor nor any other Christian minister could visit him, and none could go within the college walls to take part in the funeral ser
 vices. But the exclusion of ministers does not seem to have accomplished what Girard
 intended. The Sunday tSchooJ Times says |: President Allen had himself done the work l of clergyman in that college while living 1 and at his funeral Christian services were | there led by Christian laymsen. After this his remains were taken into neighborine
 church, where Christian liberality gave freer
 air; and there g score or more of prominent
 Christian clergymen united with large as

 to the life and work of this distinguished ] Christian layman." The GIrard heirs and

nal improvements and proclaiming
from the house tops that it is only
the Republicans who will vote
money to improve Southern rivers
and streams, yet the votes in the
last Congress, shows distinctly that
the Mississippi river Improvement
bill, in which every southern citi
zen is deeply interested, received
more votes from the Democratic
party than it did from the Republi
can party.
Whilst that question is not a par
ty question as parties now exist, it,
however. proves that the South has
more friends in the matter of inter
nal improvement among the Demo
Gratis than it has in the ranks of the
Republicans.
These are serious facts that
should be considered by the voter

Should a Democrat be elected in
this District, his vote will aid in
the organisation of the next House
of Representatives. Next to the
President of the United States, no
man yields so much power and in
fuence IS the Speaker Of the
House of Representatives.
If he is a Democrat, his party
will have control of every commit
tee in the House, and lay out the

house, a ride of Z minutes long !
The hours of the average rail road
time table are always split up into
such short little minutes which are
