Put a Brand on Him.

"Women are q 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 group of bu-
cholic philosophers. He was homely, slovenly
and sixty. "There's where differ from you al
together said Mr.. George T. Graham, of the
same place. sWOmen are mostly what men
make 'em. 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 an advertisement of PARKER'S
TONIC, and thought it would be just the thing
for her case. Gentlemen, Isentfiye miles after
a bottle. She took it. sent again after more.
So several times. Trouble? Why, if you could
say that women are the greatest of Gods bless
ings, and PARKER'S TONIC is the next.
This preparation, which has been known as
Parkers Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be called
simply Parker's Tonic. This change has been
rendered necessary by substitutes1mposed upon
their customers by unprincipled dealers under
the name of ginger; and as ginger is really an
unimportant tlavoring ingredient, we drop the
misleading word.
There is no change, however, in the prepare
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
& Co. is at the bottom of the outside wrapper.

Hon. James G.. Blaine is credited with
the statement, according to a correspond
ent of the New Y ork Herald, to the effect
that if Gen. Butler is elected Governor of
Massachusetts in November, it will make
him the Democratic nominee for Presi.
dent in 1884, and that he will be elected.
While we doubt whether Mr.. Blaine ever
expressed such belief, it will nevertheless
cause many of the rabid moss-backs of the
South to put on their studying caps. If
there were prospect of Buffers success in
Massachusetts, this fall, he would become
popular with the Democrats, and they
might be induced to repeat the Greeley
farce of 1872, the Massey qualification Of
1882, and the Hoadly inconsistency of 1888.
Modern Democracy is fond Of sensations,
and would accept a streak Of lightning from
any source.

An Avaricious Age.

A great many people call the present age
an aYaricious one. The American, as a
rule, thinks of the almighty dollar in all of
his transactions, whether in the pursuit of
wealth, health or pleasure. The general
tendency of our race is toward excess, and
this should be carefully guarded against.
The love of money is generally credited
with being the root of all evil, but all peo-
pie seem to be after plenty of the root. 1t
can not be told from the phraseology OF
the following whether the writer intended
wholesale cure or whether he wished to
go into little speculation:

The VILEsT SINNER MAY RETURN
Ex-Governor Luke Blackburn, of Ken
lucky, was in New York several days last
week. When Mr.. Talmage was in Ken
lucky this summer the Governor enter
tanned him in Blue Grass State style. Last
Sunday Mr.. Blackburn went over to the
Tabernacle to hear Talmage preach. Be
fore the services were concluded the Ken
tuckian was surprised by request Of one
of the ushers that he should go into the
pulpit. The congregation was about to
begin singing, and as the Governor reached
the platform 5000 voices chanted the old
and touching hymn, while the Lamp
Holds Out to Burn, the Vilest Sinner May
Return The Governor was, it is said,
considerably embarrassed. Talmage in
troduGed' Thin to the congregation, and,
after the services were over, presented him
personally to hundreds of the members of
the church. H t,3 9@s

The farmers of Hartford county, Mary
land, have 81, 100000 invested in canning
factories, and are building more. A cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Press de-
scribes the process of canning tomatoes.
after being scalded they are deposited
on Elong tables surrounded by women,
called 'peelers, the peeled tomatoes fall
through a spout, and the operator presses
his foot on treadle. Instantly there is a
spirit, and seeds, juice and pieces of toma-
toes fly out; the can is full /; the packer
has done it's work. Small tin caps that fit
in the groove are put on the cans mouth
and a brush dipped in a weak solution of
muriate Of zinc is passed around the
groove. The capper presses a hot revolv-
ing Gaping iron upon a small piece Of
solder, and the cap is firmly fastened. The
can is then submitted to heat, which ex-
pels all air from it through minute hole
in the centre of the cap, and then the hole
is stopped with drop of solder"

COLORED RAILROAD BUILDERS. "A
colored man named G. F. Martin arrived
in the city, Sunday, from Wilmington, to
work up Charlotte in the interest of the
proposed Wilmington, Wrightsyille and
Onslow railroad, of which he is the gener-
al superintendent. Martin is an old slave
of Gen. John B. Gordon, of Georgia, and
got his ideas Of railroading from his old
master. His plan is to form local compa-
MES in all the towns of the State, each
party subscribing to so many shares in the
proposed railroad. He has visited num-
Der of towns, and has enrolled thousands
Of shareholders. He has already graded
six miles Of his road from Wilmington to
Wrightsville sound, and says that he will
succeed beyond the shadow of a doubt in
completing the road. 1t is proposed to
run the road to Wrightsville first, thence
to Jacksonville, along the coast, in Onslow
county. He talks railroad with surpris-
ing intelligence, and says that within the
course of three years Wrightsville sound
will be port of entry, with as fine a
breakwater as the Delaware. The country
along the line of the road is low and fiat.
and from Wrightsville to Jacksonville.
there will not be cut over five feet deep.
1t is exclusively the colored peoples en-
terprise. Rev. J.C. Price is president OF
the company, and all the other officers and
directors are colored. Martin showed us
map of his railroad drawn by a colored
draughtsman, and which was excellently
executed. He had been working on this
project for a long time, and has so wei
succeeded that there is no doubt of his I'll
! innate success. b
Last night, at the mayors Office, Martin
addressed large crowd in behalf of the
railroad, and explained to them his plan Of
operations, and painted in glowing Ian
guage the benefits that are expected tx
accrue to the stockholders from the road
He met with considerable encouragement
in Charlotte, we learn. Among his list 0
stockholders are number of white PEG

The Moral of it.

We may moralize as much as we please
about pain but the fact is, that we don't
like it while it lasts, and that we want to
get rid of it as soon as we can. Whether
caused 10y rheumatism. govt, disordered
liver, weak nerves. irregular kidneys, bad
blood, or anything else that is just the re-
verse of what it should be, the sooner it is
out of the system the happier we are
Whether pain is.the result Of imprudence
or of accident, or is sent as q punishment
for our sins, may be a nice question for the
philosophers to argue but people who are
suffering want first to be rid Of the pain.

ment may argue the matter to their heart S
content. 1904 4rs.k.ts 64 &
Above all theory, argument, and philos-
opy, comes the delightful fact that Brown s
Iron Bitters drives pain away. Sufferers
run no risk in trying this medicine, the
only compound containing iron which car
ries no mischief with it. Those who have
used it will tell you so +; and you can try
for yourself by buying bottle of the near
