Dukes Deranged,
THE CHARITABLE VIEW ADVANCED IN FIX.
CUsE FOR Ills RECENT DEEDS.

Dukes IS still at the house of Struble
his stepfather, in German Township,
Fayette county. His few friends try to
make the public believe that he did not
leave Uniontown until Tuesday eve
ming, after the twenty-four hours no.
tice to leave had expired. But in reality
Dukes left about midnight Monday,
within twelve hours of the notice. A
gentleman who lives near the Strubles,
says that Dukes is now in German
Township, but that he expects to return
to Uniontown shortly and end his days
there. The gentleman thinks Dukes ID
partially insane, an opinion which il
gaining ground. The theory is also ad
vanced that he was desperately in love
with Miss Mutt, and was inspired to
write the terrible letter from Jealousy
at the attentions she was receiving from
other young men, After his acquittal
il was supposed that he would be GLAD
to get out of the country, and spend
the rest of his days in unknown parts
but his declaration TO remain in Union
town where he is utterly loathed
strengthens the theory that he must b'
deranged.

A newspaper that would snit every
body would be read bSnobody. Ifnever
criticized, it would be because it ex-
pressed no opinion worth criticizing.
An editor who has views of his own,
and does not fear to print them, cannot
expect to have smooth sailing always.
His views must run counter to those OF
somebody else. If all men thought alike
there would be an end to religious de-
nominations, to political parties, and
perhaps to matrimony. The only way
to get along in this world is to dc
what you believe to be right, ard stick
to it until convinced you are wrong

BAILEY, BANKS g. BlDDLE.

NO PART OF THE BUSINESS
Of Bailey, Banks & Biddle is con-
Quoted with greater perfection Of
detail or more general satisfaction
to purchasers than that Of selecting
and sending goods in response to
requests by mail.
WHITTIER THE ORDER is
for costly or inexpensive articles
whether for an assortment to enable
apurchaser to decide at home which
article suits best, or for something
to be shipped directly to a third
person as a present, the purchaser

choice-the selection is invariably
made by an expert Of well-tried
taste. possessing thorough knowl-
edge both of the goods and the
changeful fashions.
DIRECTIONS ARE INTELLI-
gently followed; the least hint Of
preference is carefully noted, and
in every instance the newest and
most desirable goods are sent, ex-
cepting when an article not quite
so new presents such inducements
in price as to make it seem best to
inform the customer and await
further instructions. Full explana-
tons are given whenever the in
terest of the customer requires them.
GOODS MAY ALWAYS BE RE-
turned if not entirely satisfactory.

Republican majorities in the Legisla-

tioument laws giving their party a
larger proportion of representation than
they were entitled TO- But now, when
Democratic House proposes to make e
fair apportionment that will give each
party fair representation according to
the votes of the respective parties, it is
called gerrymandering. Its poor rule

READING Let lis lake time for reading.
1t will never come if we wait to have every
speck of dirt removed from each article we
use. We can always find something else TO
do; and conscientious housekeepers with
little taste for mental pursuits are apt to
make great blunders. The life is more than
meat, and the body than raiment." which
mcans--f may be allowed to preach wee
bit of sermon that you yourself, with all
your immortal faculties, are of more vastly
more importance than your house and fur
niture, clothing and cookery and those are
utterly worthless if they serve as hndranees
instead of helps to your individual culture.
No kind of labor is degrading if done from a
worthy motive, and no motive can be nobler
than the womanly desireto make pleasant
home. With this end in view-with love
as prompter-washing and darning and
scrubblng are all elevated from drudgery to
noble place. But our home cannot be
properly attractive and profitable to our
families If We ourselves are dull aud har-
rassed. Our brothers and fathers and hus-
bands and sons need cheerful and intellec.
tual companions at home far more than they
need nice dinners and spotless linen. 1t is
necessary that good house-keepers should
also read and reflect and listen and converse.

That's Il common express
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by SO many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as

it does this by commencing
