AYERS CATHARTIC Pills are the best
Of all purgativeS for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use. by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
efiectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-cOated, they are
pleasant TO take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system In perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
eflectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest phySic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tions, where a mild but edectual
cathartic Is required.

W Oman-HOpe for Suffering WON
ana! Something new Under
rha Sunt

BY reason of her peculiar relations
and her peculiar ailments, woman has
been compelled to suffer, not only her
own ills, but those arising from the
want of knowledge, or of consideration
on the part of those with whom she
stands connected in the social organi-
zation. The frequent and distressing
Irregularities peculiar to her sex have
thus been aggravated to degree
which no language can express. In
the mansions of the rich and the howell
of the poor alike, women has been the
patient victim of ills unknown to man
and which none but she could endure
-and without a remedy. But now
the hour of her redemption has come.
She need not suffer longer, when she
can find relief in DIR. J. Bnadfeld's

ment is almost faultless, in a chat
with your correspondent to-day,
said:

physical impossibility. The House
in week has only passed over one
of the Insignificant schedules of the
bill, touching chemicals. If it re-
quireS a week to do this, what
must be expected when the metal
and wooden schedules are reached?
1t took the Ways and Means Com
mittee, with twelve or thirteen
members present, thirty-three days
to prepare the bill. Now, can you
imagine how long it will take 293
members to tear it to pieces and
prepare a bill? No, do not think
it will pass, and know there are
leading Republicans who do not
WANT it to pass"
"What do you think of the Sem
ate bill ?''
81 do not think it will ever be-
come law. The Senate will pass
a bill in some shape, but the chan
ges already made in the metal
schedule by the Senate will not
command the support even of the
high prOtectionists of Pennsylvania
and Ohio"
"Do you think an internal-rev-

VERY few persons take correct
view of the actual profit to farmers
OF good roads, or of how much they
can afford TO pay for them. Our
daily kilograms from the West sup
ply one hint. All along in autumn,
and not unfrequently during the
winter, we can read between the
lines of those dispatches that bus
ineSs is active, the markets brisk,
everybody cheerful in all depart
ments of trade, manufactures, ag-
ficulture, etc., or the reverse of all
this, according to the state of the
country roads generally. 1t is a
fact that in some years, for months
together the whole traffic of the
country, and the activity and pros
perity of all classes, are largely
diminished, and the losses incurred
amount to very many millions of
dollars, because the condition of the
roads stops general intercourse and
practically prevents the marketing
of grain crops at the proper season.

AN incident occurred last week

AN Incident occurred last week
that illustrates the danger and
wickedness of making playful DEM
onstrations with fire arms supposed
to be unloaded or impotenf to do
damage. A worthy citizen of this
place was plaguing his little daugh-
ter about her fondness for pet cat,
and threatened to shoot il to get
more of her company himself. The
child in her confidence dared him
to do. Thinking t0 tease her more
he picked up an old gun that hap
pened to be near, and which he
thought he knew was empty. He
brought it to bear on the cat al d
pulled trigger. To his establishment
and horror a load of shot was dis
charged, demolishing the cat and
almost petrifying the family. His
CONSERVATION at the result cannot
be described. 1t has learned him a
lesson that we hope viii not be
without profit TO others. His only
consolation is that the deinonstra-
tion was not made at his child, as it
might have been with as innocent
intent to harm it as the cat.-Mo1'-
