Cathartic Pills

Combine the choicest cathartic principles
in medicine, in proportions accurately adj
justed to secure activity, certainty, and
uniformity of effect. They are the result
of years of careful study and practical ex-
pertinent, and are the most effectual rem
edy yet discovered for diseases caused by
arrangement of the stomach, liver, and
bowels, which require prompt and effectual
treatment AYERS PILLS are specially
applicable to this class of diseases. They
act directly on the digestive and assimi.
lative processes, and restore regular
healthy action. Their extensive use by
physicians in their practice, and by all
civilized nations, is one of the many
proofs of their value as a safe, sure, and
perfectly reliable purgative medicine.
Being compounded of the concentrated
virtues of purely vegetable substances,
they are positively free from calomel or
any injurious properties, and can be admin.
istcred to children with perfect safety.

larly those having political bearing,
that it is fair to expect they will be
reached and probably be acted upon in
some shape; among these the question
of civil rights as presented in the cases
of the colored people, the Mormons, and
the Chinese, may be considered. The
bills of an industrial character, are of
sufficient national Importance to re.
qaire consideration include bill to es-
tablish a uniform bankruptcy law, to
establish a bureau of Interstate COM
merce, to provide a postal telegraph,
and postal savings deposit system, to
establish government for Alaska, re-
organization of the internal revenue
methods, and to enlarge the pension
list, and to pass tariff legislation in
some shape yet to be considered. These
large projects have good chance for
consideration and Of course many bills
of minor Importance will be passed.
Mrs. Carlisle according to social
customs in Washington is the leading
society lady. Mrs. Senator Edmunds
would hold the distinction but she is
not in society. Mrs. Carlisle is very
handsome woman and of superior pres
ence and manners, but it is anticipated
that the tone of society will be decided
ly Southern on account of her affinity
for her own people. And say what you
will, there is more difference in North
ern and Southern Social customs than
there is ever in their political ways and
methods.

WASHINGTON Letter,

(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. }
December 18th, 1888.
AS is usually the case upon the first
"bill day Of the session Of Congress,
there have been enough bills introduce
ed to occupy the attention of Congress
for the whole session, if it would turn
it's attention in that direction. But it
would be marvellous credulity to ex-
pect that out Of the $500 introduced,
one hundred will ever be seriously con-
sidered. A large share of these bills
are prepared by members for political
effect, or buncombe, and many of them
merely to satisfy promises made to their
constituents on the glowing occasion of
political canvass.
There are some of the measures

THE USUAL RFsULT. 1t not to be de-
MED that good sewing machine is one of
the most important appurtcnances of the
modern household.
We thought we had a good machine in
our household until one day the agent of the
Ne,o Home presented himself at our door
and proceeded to deliver an Grafton upon its
characteristic merit,
But" we answered, "our machine serves
us nicely and suits us well, and we do not
care for another"
The agent, however, begged the privilege
of leaving one of his machines with us, "for
the ladies to try"
The request was not unreasonable so we
granted t-but more to oblige the agent
than anything else; for really we did not
want the machine, and had not the remotcst
idea of buying it.
The machine once in the house, it was nat
ural that the ladies should look it over; they
did So and as a consequence fell in love
with it. They say that without the slight
est wish to decry or disparage any other
machine, this, all things considered, is, in
their opinion, the most desirable one to be
had.
The upshot of the whole matter was that
the old machine was disposed of, and the
Light Running New Home" installed in
our household. 1t is pronounced genuine
beauty and real comfort, and "our folks"
wanted us to tell other folks about it.
This unrivallcd machine is manufactured
by the NEW HOME SEWING MACHINE
CO., 80 Union Square, New York, who wish
US to say that all who will send for their new
illustrated catalogue and enclose their adver
tisement (printed in another coumn,) will
receive set of fancy advertising novelties,

Will the Wheeling & Lake Erie be
COMPLETED?

1t is questionable whether the Wheel
ing Il Lake Erie will be completed to
Wheeling as originally projected. Com
modore Garrison is now in Toledo
Strengthening matters out. and the To-
ledo Telegram, probably speaking know
lngly, says regarding the prospects
The thirty-five miles of road yet to
build to Complete the Wheeling & Lake
Erie to Wheeling are fraught with great
difficulties. This piece lies in broken
country which is series of precipitous
hills and deep ravines. 1t is estimated
that it will cost million and half of
dollars to complete it. When Mr.Griggs
became lessee and contractor, he went
at the work confidently and enthusiastic
caliy. Such was his faith in being able
to keep within the estimate and in the
future of the road, that he put all his
own private fortune into it. The cost
largely exceeded the estimates and Com
modOre Garrison, who was furnishing
the money on the bonds, got tined at
last and there was halt orpered. Mr..
Grlsgs assigned all his stock over to
the Commodore and the construction &C
count was closed for the present. This

The question of completion now
hinges upon the uncertainty of its re-
paying the heavy investment that will
be necessary. A large scheme known
as the South Pennsylvania & Ohio is
looking for western outlet and the W.
u l.. E. Company have their eyes cast
toward the rising sun. Their glanees met
and in short time was seen the an
nouncement of the Incorporation of the
South Pennsylvania & Ohio in this STATE,
the incorporators being all connected
with the W. Il L. f. in an official capa-
city. But from some cause this new
union is lingering. Whether it Is in
to sell the W. & L. E. to
the S. P. & o. or lease it to that compa-
ny is a state secret. The latter is al
Vanderbilt interest, consequently it does
not lack money to consunmate its de
signs. In any case it is to be hoped
the W. & l.. E. will soon be completed to

WE are told that considerable dissat-

citizens of Bellaire who are interested
in extending the business of that place,
because of the fact that IA few dema-

gain are distracting the minds of the
people regarding the county seat contro-
versy, rather than give aid and encour-
agement to the building of the Ohio
Valley railroad.
