Put O Brand on Him.

"Women are necessary evil, he said, bring
ing down his fist hard on the counter to empha-
size the heartless remark. 1t was in the village
store at West Milton, Saratoga county, and the
speaker was the central figure of q group of bu-
cholic philosophers He was homely, slovenly
and sixty. There's where l differ from you al
together" said Mr.. George T.. Graham, of the
same place. .Women are mostly what men
make 7em. When husbands are brutes wives
will fall into submission or make home hot for
the men; and they're unnatural in either char
acter. Love them, and especially be good to
them when they're sick, and you'll have no
trouble. There's my own wife, now. She's suf-
fered good deal with dyspepsia, nervous pros
tration and other ailments that took the bloom
off her cheeks and the spring out OF her steps.
Well, she saw advertisement of PARKER's
Tonic and thought it would be just the thing
for her case. Gentlemen sent five miles after
a bottle. She took it, l sent again after more.
SO several times. Trouble? Why, if you could
see how much good it has done her you would
say that women are the greatest of Gods bless
ings, and PARKER'S Tonic is the next,
This preparation which has been known as
ParSer's Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be called
simply Parkers Tonic. This change has bcen
rendered necessary by substltuteslmposcd upon
their customers by unprincipled dealers under
the name of ginger; and us ginger is really an
unimportant hayoring ingredient, we drop the
misleading word.
There is no change, however, in the prepara-
ton itself, and all bottles remaining in the
hands of dealers, wrapped under the name OF
PARKER'S GINGER Tonic contain the genuine
medicine if the fac smile signature of HISCoX
4 Co. is at the bottom of the outside wrapper

Some days ago The Richmond Dispatch
co,,,a foo1,cI,

Some days ago the Richmond Dispatch
published some foolish sayings of several
colored men in Richmond. uttered several
years ago, about mixed schools. We
thought at the time that it was for the
purpose OF using them in this campaign,
to infiame race passions and draw the color
line. The last number of the Campaign
Democrat, gives the substance of the
article, and from the way it is arranged
the reader would conclude that the utter
ances were of recent date. We will not
say that the Dispatch designed that the ar
ticle should be used in that way, but we
felt very conf lent that it would be. The
Campaign Democrat says 'the colored peo-
pie Of Richmond, Va, convened at Ebe-
nezer Church, Friday evening" leaving
the impression that it was last Friday,
when it was about two years ago Is that
fair +? The policy of the Readjusters as
to the public schools has been plainly set
forth in a practical way. There has been
no mixed schools. The whole system has
been administered intelligently successful
ly and satisfactoriyto every friend Of the
public school interest. There are not a
hundred men in the State of either or
both colors, who would favor the sentiment
quoted by the Campaign Democrat, as
published by the Dispatch. Why then seek
tocreate the impression that. such propo-
sltion is seriously considered or thought OF
now? This kindof campaigning will not
pay the party that INDUCES it, for it will
disastrously recoil on it. 1t requires no
prophet to fOretell that.

Postal Telegraphy.

A correspondent Of the Baltimore Amer
icoae, writing from Washington under date
OF the 9Th, says: Apropos of the current
talk about system of government tele-
graph, 1T seems to be worthy of mention
that Representative John Hill, of New
Jersey, expresses the belief that the time
is near at hand when postal telegraph
will be one OF the features of the postal
service OF this country. Honest John
Hill, y as he is called, was the original agi-
tator Of the two-cent postage scheme.
Other people had talked about it from
time to time, and he was not alone in his
successful fight for it in the last Congress,
but he justly claims the paternity of the
cheap postage that is to go into effect at
the end of the present month. MI. Hill
has taken great deal of pains to examine
into the workings Of the postal telegraph
Of England, and is well posted on every
branch of the subject. He says there are
many arguments in favor of the govern
ment taking charge of the telegraph of the
country or creating a system of its own,
especially that of cheapness and it's more
StllCIstl tloC UtlU OllclG dlc OUICls pOtCllt
ones against it, especially that which re-
lates to the great addition to the number
Of government employees which would fol-
low. let, the possibilities are, he thinks,
that these objections will be overcome in
time. In speaking of the English system,
MI. Hill recently said to The Anaerican COR
respondent that it had been an unqualified
success. The latest statistics show that
rapid progress is constantly being made in
that line. 1t was in 1869 that the British
lines were turned over to the government.
1t purchased them, OF rather took pos
session of them at an appraised value, the
theory being that, as they were vehicles
for the transmission of information, they
ought to be under government supervision
The theory upon which this action was la
ken was that the transmission of intelli-
gence was a government function THAT the
telegraph was coming into general use for
that purpose that under government con-
troll, in connection with postal system, its
benefits could be extended to many small
places where it would not pay private COR
porations to extend their lines, and that
its usefulness to the general public would
thus be increased. This new feature was
then Incorporated in the government
postal system and operated under it's prin-
ciples, viz: The largest measure of accom-
mediation and usefulness to the public
rather than immediate pecuniafy return.
The returns, as shown by the official report
Of a year ago, the latest attainable, show
that the management has been very wise
and the result very gratifying. In 1863
the number of offices was 2, 4SS; in 1880
it was 1881. The number of messages
transmitted in 1869 was G, 100000; in 1880
it was $4,000, 900 in 1881 it was %, 900, 900,
and in 1882 it reached over 81 100000. The

Wonders Never Cease.

A long time ago the wise man said there
is nothing new under the sun, but yet the
daily experience of hundreds seem to prove
this false. Some contend that the days of
miracles are past, but yet it appears as if
they are not yet gone by when such men as
/. N. Tidball, of Washington, Pa, give
the following remarkable testimony
II have been a severe sufferer from
chronic rheumatism and kidney affection
for over twenty years, and after having
tried nearly everything without getting re-
lief commenced using PERUNA few
months ago. The benefit have received
is wonderful. i feel like new man, and
am fully restored to health.''
Surely such q cure is remarkable, and
none should hesitate any longer about
using PERUNA, the great remedy discov-
cred by DR.. Hartman. Send to your drug
gist for bottle, and ask for his hook on
the ellis of Life.'

Great excitement in North Carolina po-
litical circles was caused last week by the
public announcement of Patrick III. Win
ston, jr., that he had severed his connection
with the Democratic party and would here
after act with the Republicans. He has
been prominent leading and influential
democrat in the State, and his renuncia-
tion Of the faith of that party and identi-
tication with the progressive policy Of the
Republicans will have a marked effect in
the political contests of the old North
State The tide is rolling on, and in 1884.
