The experience of Iowa in regard to capi-
tai punishment is rather extraordinary. Or
iginally the law provided the death penalty
for murder. but juries refused to convict,
and so about ten years ago it was removed
from the statute books Murders continued,
and an agitation was soon begun which re-
suited, after four years. in the restoration
of the old law. But In the six years since
then no murderer has gone 20 the gallows,
and murders are growing more frequent.
Public sentiment appears thoroughly de-
moralized on the question Of punishing

Mr. Edison tells reporter that his incan-

cities Of the United States. while seventy or
eighty more are preparing for its introduc-

great future, but he doubts whether 1t will
ever supplant steam on the great main roads.
The problem which is exercising his mind at
present is that of cheaper source of cleo
tricity, or, to put it in another form, way

power. ssWe want, !" he says, ito get cleo
tricity from coal direct, without the inter

people are at work on it. We don't see our
way ut all to it, but will say it is surely
possible. Zinc and other metals We can get
into electricity at once, but the trouble is to

nor are all poor homes bright and
happy. Those who occupy them
control the result. Where husband
and wife are congenial, where the
children are bright and playful,
where paternal authority is wisely
and kindly exercised, aud obedience
is cheerfully and intelligently render
ed there is bright and cheerful
home. Such home invites all to
share its pleasures and contentment.
There the father and son are found
at home nights, preferring the happi-
ness to be found there to the exciting
pleasures of the bar-room and hotel.
There are cases where the conditions
essential to a cheerful home are nat
ural. Husband and wife are well
mated, and children congenial and
obedient. But even if such is not
the case, we hold that the art of hap
piness cannot be acquired until it be-
comes second nature. 1t simply in
wolves cultivatlng the kindly side of
each nature. If the tendency to say
unkind things is firmly repressed it
can be overcome. If the art of say
ing gracious words is cultivated, it
becomes easy and natural. 1t is said
that before breakfast is the time
when we can bear least of opposi-
tion, because then the mind and heart
are least under control. After break
fast we feel better, and after dinner
happier. Thus our moods depend
on physical conditions. If so, we
have only to understand our moods
to control them. Most home misery
grows out of uncontrolled moods
Persons speak and act as they feel.
This ought not to be. Others de-
pend on us for happiness or misery.
If, by self-control, we can impart
happiness, we should do so. There
is also a happy art in Frightening
homes. Some women can make lit
tie ornaments which crafty the art
taste. Others cannot, but have the
motherly grace to make all happy.
Both are good-the latter the better.
So the father can bring home, not the
cares and worry of business, but low
ing tokens or a cheerful face. These
are small matters, but they have much
to do with cheerful homes.

Married.

Not sigh was heard not a funeral tone,
As the man to his bridal we hurried;
Not woman discharged a farewell groan
On the spot where the fellow was married
We married him just about eight at night,
Our faces paer turning;
BY the struggling moonbeam's misty light
And the gas lamps steady burning.
No useless watch-chain adorned his vest,
Nor over dressed we found him;
But he looked like a gentleman wearing his beat,
With few of his friends around him.
Few and short were the things he said,
And we spoke not word of sorrow;
But we silently gazed on the man that was wed,
And bitterly thought of the morrow.
We thought, as we silently stood about,
With spite and anger dying,
How the meanest stranger had cut us out,
With only half our trying.
Lightly We'll talk of the fellow that's gone,
And oft of the past upbraid him;
But little he'll reck, if we let him live on,
In the house where his wife conveyed him.
But our heavy task at length was done,
When the clock struck the hour for retiring;
And we heard the spiteful squib and pun,
The girls were sullenly firing.
Slowly and sadly we turned to go,
We had struggled, and we were human;
We shed not tear, and we spoke not our woe,
But we left him alone with his woman.

HAVE CHEERFUL HOMES.

There is nothing grander or more
inviting than cheerful home and
no duty is more holy and enncbling
than that which reduires the mainte-
nance of such blessed spot. Some
one has written that sit is not grand
eur that makes the cheerful home. !"
Neither is it. There are palatial
houses magnlficently furnished that
are abodes of suspicion, jealousy,
and misery, and there are plain hous-
es, little more than novels, scantily
furnished, but cleanly kept, that are
full of sweetness, happiness and
peace. What makes the difference? !?
Why should not the distinctions of
wealth have different result. But
all wealthy homes are not miserable,

AYERS PILLS.

A large proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from derange-
ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment, including Constipation, Indiges-
tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and host of other ailments, for all of
which they are a safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac-
Q tice, shows Enthusiastically the estimation in
which they are held by the medical profess
sion.
These PILLS are compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious Ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
"AyER's PILLS are invaluable to me, and
are my constant companion. I have been
severe sufferer from Headache, and your
PILLS are the only thing / could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move INV
bowels and free my head from pain. They
are the most effective and the easiest physic
lhaye ever found. 1t is a pleasure to me to
When occasion offers.

FRANKLIN ST., Richmond, Va, June 8, 1882.
."I have used AYERS PILLS in number
less instances as recommended by you, and
nave never known them to fail to accomplish
the desired result. We constantly keep them
on hand at our home, and prize them as a
pleasant safe, and reliable family medicine,
FOR DYSPEPSIA they are invaluable.

Mexia, Texas, June II, 1882.
The REV. FRANCIS B. HARLowE, writing
from AttGstfG, Ca, says: "For some years
past have been subject to constipation.
from which, in spite of the use of medi-
cines of various kinds, 1 suffered increasing
Inconvenience, until some months ago I
began taking AYERS PILLS. They have
entirely corrected the costive habit, and
have vastly improved my general health"
AYERS CATHARrIc PILLS correct irregu-
larities of the bowels, stimulate the appe-
tite and digestion, and by their prompt and
thorough action give tone and vigor to the
whole physical economy.

DIR. David Kennedy, Rondout, N. Y.
Dear Sir; My son, lad of fifteen, editor of the
Go-Ahead, amateur journal, of this city, has
been at different times most severely, ana apparent
ly hopelessly, afflicted with Salt Rheum. When a
very small child his body was almost entirely cover
ed with this loathsome eruption. 1t mostly passed
away, however, after the teethng period, and he
was not seriously troubled with it again until about
one year ago, when the Salt Rheum first appeared
on his hands between his fingers then on his limbs
then on his face and head in one solid mass His
condition was terrible. The rash resembled. iyy
poisoning and we at first fancied it might be some
thing not so bad as his old troubles, but the phvs-
clans pronounced it Salt Rheum, and made every
effort, without avail, to it. We tried prepa
tlon widely advertised as specific for skin diseas-
es, Dut lt made about as much of an impression as
so much cold water might have done. You can un-
derstand the situation when say we were in de-
SPAR OF obtaining real help from any source.
AT thls polnt through the advice of Mr.. J. w.
Bacon, whose daughter had been cured of Salt
Rheum by 1t, tried KENNEDY'S FAVORITE
REMEDY. This was the right and only thing at
last! zine SKIN began to heal at once and to-day the
evidences OF the disease have wholly disappeared.
How thankful we are, Dear Doctor, 1 leave YOU to
imagine Yours, j. w. Batchelder, No. II Terrill,
Street. The experience of years. and the testimo
ny OF thousands demonstrate DIR. DAVID KEN.
NEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY to be the most
successful medicine for organic and blood diseases
ever discovered. Prepared solely by Dr. David

What They Wear.

What does the wee, wee baby wear?
Curls and rings in his silky hair,
Smiles and dimples and roses rare.
Sweeter than garden flowers fair;
Rufies and ruffies and ruffles white,
Coral necklace and ribbon bright.
What does dear little Jessie wear?
Flowing waves in her shining hair
Over her eyes of pansy blue,
Looking, questioning out at you;
A mother Hubbard from top to toe;
The bonniest lassie of all you know.
What does pretty Miss Mable wear?
Plenty of fluffy, crinkly hair,
Banged and frizzled and crimpled and curled,
With all the skill in all the world;
Plaits and ribbons and puffs and lace,
And carries fan with dainty grace.
What does Archibald Alfred wear?
Bless me! bless me! Look at the hair
Over his lip just peeping through!
do you believe he is proud? do.)
He's talking now of watch and chain,
And thinks he ought to carry a cane.
What does the darling mother wear?
Smoothest bands of her dark brown hair,
Smiles oflovingest, kindly light,
Beaming CHEEKY from morn till night;
Sweeping folds in her velvet gown;
A queen, as any who wear crown.
What does dear old grandmother wear?
Wayy threads of silvery hair
Folded under the dropping lace,
Shading softly her gentle face;
Eyes which are looking far away.
Where? Let only the angels say.

night word Yss received by his friends in

known surveyor Of this city, had been shot
near Griffithsyille, in Logan county, This
morning he was brought home and now
lies in dying condition, the doctors hay-
Iug given up all hopes Of his recovery.
The facts attending and preceding the
shooting are about as follows: About ten
years ago John Prentice bought tract Of
timber in Logan county, amounting to
several Thousand acres. After he had pur-
chased 1t, the title was found to be defect
i've, and a suit was begun in the
courts, which has been pending ever

that survey of the land be made and ap-
pointed the elder Sinnet to. do the work. He
with his two sons started q few days ago
for the dispute at track and on arriving
there found that a number Of squatters
had settled on it, built cabins and made
cleariDg,. The squstters thinking that
the surveying party were bent upon dispos-
sessing them, warned them away and when
they refused to 20 fired upon them with
the above results.

General RosecraDs Strong with the
Soldiers and LabOrIng Men.
WASHINGTON, April l0.-A gentleman
who has been active for some years in labor
organization has just returned from an ex.
tended trip through New England. He
represents the condition of workmen in
the cities where strikes have prevailed as
far worse than the public has been led to
believe. He reports the workingmen as
fayoring a reduction in tariff to moderate
degree. He found large numbers of the
Democrats connected with the labor organ
izatiops; also members of the Grand Army
of the Republic. Among these there Was
a great deal of friendly talk about General
ROsecrans as the best selection the Demo
Gratis could make for Presidential csndi-
date. To use the gentleman's own words
on this point, The labor men are rapid
ly inpressing their trades union brethren
with the same view, contending that nc
stronger nomination could be m sde, GER
iainly no nomination which would SO sure.
ly unite the soldier aud labor vote. 1t is
argued in his favor that he is son Of Ohio,
a citizen of and sure to carry the Pacific
Coast solid; that he possesses q brilliant
war record, and that, il the party wants q
msu mentally, morally and physically
healthy, they contend that they have
named him."
