Good Housewife.

The good housewife, when she is giving
her house its spring renovating, should
bear in mind that the dear little inmates
of her house are more precious than many
houses, and that their systems need
cleansing by purifying the blood, regulat-
ing the stomach and bowels to prevent and
cure the diseases arising from spring malaria
and miasma, and she must know that there
is nothing that viii do it so perfectly and
surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best

THE RACES.
Commencement Of the Speed
Meeting To-day.
List of Entries and General
News.

This afternoon, the speed meeting, under
the auspices of the Tri-City Trotting As
ISOLATION, will commence at the Fair
Grounds, just south of the city.
The members of that organization have
worked faithfully, to make the first meeting
success. To that end, they have con-
tributed sufficient sum of money to enable
them to join the National Association, and
to become Incorporated under the laws OF
Illinois. They have not only advanced
their funds, but they have devoted theiI
time and energies to arrange all the details
of the meeting, and to secure the attend,
ance of the best field of horses that ever
visited this section. Their labors are
substantially over, and have resulted in
bringing to the city, galaxy of flyers that
has never been equalled in the past,
1t now remains with the public of the
three cities, to decide whether they desire
such meetings in the future or are content
to exist without such sport. The question
is easy of solution; as if the attendance is
such that liberal encouragement is extend
ed, the speed meetings will become a
permanent feature. If on the contrary,
the public are chary of their presence, the
present meeting will prove the first and
last of the hoped for series.
THE ENTRIES.
The entries for the different trottine
races that will occur during the speed
meeting of the Tri City Trotting Associa-
ton held in this city to-day, Thursday and
Friday, were opened last evening and are
given to the public for the first time this
morning. The list includes some very fine
travellers, which will warrant the assertion
that their exploits on the local track will
lower the fastest record ever made in the
past on that course.
The entries also show the competing
horses in the novelty running race which
concludes the programme of exercises this
afternoon.

Rather Enthusiastic.

The Wilmington (Del) Daily Repubii- can lately contained the following item of popular interest: Dr J. F. Speck, who is connecle with the Wilmington ECery EUeni,ig speaks rather enthusiastically of St. Jacobs 0l. Dr. Specks states that he uses the Oil in his family as a.house- hold remedy, a sort of universal panacca for all aches and pains, and has always found it to act most happily. His atten- ton was called to it by the many testi- monials in it's favor, and he one day used it upon himself for sore threat. Two applications were sufficient To effect a cure. He also used it on his little girl for sore throat with gratifying succe ss. The same child had scarlet fever this winter VI hich left the tendons of enc leg much contracted. The little prattler couldn't walk without assistance and suffered much inconvenience and pain. Several applications of St. Jacobs Oil re- stored her limb to its normal condition and she has not experienced any trouble since. Dr. Speck states that he has also seen the Oil act charmingly in tooth ache. He thinks St. Jacobs Oil is ster- ling remedy, and does not hesitate to recommend it for rheumatism, etc.

A Boys Luck.

The Norristown (Pal HeraM in a re cent issue referred among others, to the following cases of special interest. They are their own commentary. Mir. Samnel C. Nyce, resides at sos Marshall street and holds the responsible position of journal clerk in the Pennsylvania Legis- lature, at Harrisburg. While MT. Nyce and family were in the country recently, his boy, aged three years, fell snd broke his leg, He recovered, but very trou- blesome stiffness set in and he could scarcely use the leg. The injured limb was rubbed several times with St, Jacobs Gil, and the stiffness was So much re. duced that the boy was able to use his leg freely. Dr. Knipe said it was the use of St. Jacobs Oil that cured the stiff ness. MT Hyce himself used the Great German Remedy for toothache with good effect, and also for a sprsin and pains of rheumatic nature, and always with good effect. Mrs. Nyce also says she thinks the Oil is splendid thing, and she always keeps it on hand.i

Party Names.


 In the matter of partisan designations the English have been more sparing than most other nations which enjoy political freedom. Till lately we have practically had only two parties an' in successive centuries they have changed their names from Cavalier and Round head to Tory and Whig, and then to Conservative and Liberal. Radical, and still more, Home Ruler, are modern out growths. America has been more pro life in names though, on the whole, as in England; there have habitually been only two great parties-namely, the Whigs and the Federals, now rechrist- ened Republicans and Democrats. But there have been many minor distlnc- lions, such as Locus-focus. Know-Noth- ings, Copperheads, Hardshells and Softshells. It is, however, when we come to France, country whose psople are equally prone to revolutions and to systematic classifcatio ms, that we find party distinctions far more numerous. In the chamber, for example, we have the Center and the Left Center and the Pure Left and the Extreme Left; and so of course, with the Right. Or, II we divide parties in another way, we have three distinct kinds of Monarchists aud some hali dozen kinds of Republicans, for there is kind of Republican who thinks Citizen Clemenceau rather slow coach, and would prefer to see Citizen ess Louise Michel at the head of affairs. But at first sight who would imagine that Germany, which some five and twenty years ago we regarded as de, lightfll dreamy cloudland of beer and tobacco, music and philanthropy, who would imagine that this once slow moving Germany even beats impulsive Gaul in the matter of its political nick names? At the recent election you might range yourself under at least ten distinct banners. You might be at your pleasure National Liberal, Secession ist.a Progressist, a Conservative, Cleri- cal. Pole, South German, a Protestor, a Guelph and Social Democrat. Oi course this multiplicity of names IS caused partly by the still unrepald breach between Prince Bismarck and the vatican, but still more by the fact that German unity is even now a very new thing.
