The Realities of Welded Life.

There comes the inevitable day
when the newly married pair awaken
from their lovedream and endeavor to
settle down to the realities Of life.
The habits, the manners, and the
tempers are things that neither knows
anything about in the other, and that
which was long concealed in an en-
gagement for months is quickly re-
yealed in the close relationship of
married life. Some little habit that

Then there is disappointment on both

May %, 1888: al have used Hunts Remedy
in my family for over ten years. Ny wife
was troubled with catarrh of the bladder,
suffered intense pain in the kidneys and
loins, and urination was accomplished with
the greatest Of agony. My friends thought
that she could not recover. We tried doctors
and medicines, and although better at times
would grow worse again. She was obliged
to use the urinal as many ss fifteen times in
night, and was growing worse daily. At
this time my attention was called to Hunts
Remedy, and concluded to try it; and after
using one bottle she was good del better,
the inflammation was reduced, and the water
more natural. She began to gain in appetite
and fet no pain in the back and kidneys.
She could attend to her household work
without pain, and this had been great
burden to do, even the lightest kind of work.
After using six bottles she was completely
cured. Since then / have had occasion to
use Hunts Remedy for kidney and liver COM

A Washington dispatch says: Consider
able interest has been shown this winter by

regard to the estab 'ishment of postal tee

ready been intro iucel in the Senate and House

woke good deal of debate later in the ses-

heard. Mr. Edmunds, of Vermont, and Mr..
Hill, Of Colorado, each has in the Senate an
elaborate bill TO provide for q postal
telegraph Mr.. Hill delivered to-day an
earnest argument in support of the
measure introduced by him. He sketched
the origin and progres; Of the postal
systems of the civilized world, showing the
effect of their extension. He gave in detail
the history of the consultations of small
companies with the Western Union monop-
oily. Other competing lines are now starting,
he said, but they viii be shortlived, no mat
ter how able their promoters may be to carry
them on. Where combination is possible com.
petition is impo sible, AMI in the nature of
things capitalists will not carry their schemes
beyond the point at which they become
improbable. Frequent complaints had been
made of the manner in which the telegraph
business of the country was transacted by pri-
vate companies, and he asserted that all who
had invest- ated this subje imyartially con-
ceded t. at the remedy must come in some
form Of action by the national government.
In conclusion he said The use of the tele-
graph is now restricted b. its cost tu extra
ordinary communications and by its nature
to messages which do not need to be in
the handwriting of the sender. Under these
conditions the proportion of telegrams to
letters is alb ut one to thir y, but who shall
say how soon some great discovery, no more
wonder. .uI than the telephone, may enable
fac simile messages to be sent insi anita
neously and cleaply over the wires, instead
of by the slow and costly process by which
they are now transmitte in Europe. If that
