The most notable feature in the figures
of this election is, that while the Demo

five North-New York, Indiana, Connec-

publican party did not carry a single
Southern State, but was confined to the
Northern section of the Union. For many
years the Democratic party has been the
only national party in this country.

been here. But somehow had taken up
the impression that it was one of those
old East Virginia towns that had been
blown ashore By the tempest of civil war
and lay stranded on the shore of the
busy ocean of life. And that was the sort
of place that quiet was to be found in.
My first night was happy confirmation
of my choice. Standing on the wharf
at which lay little steamer, the scene
was beautiful. The new moon hung in
the west and cast its glitterlng line over
the water for miles and miles away. Thick
in the little haIbor lay the slender masts
of vessels with steady lights glowing
in their rigging. Across the narrow bay
stood the Normal School with its three
stories brightly lighted, and further away
was the gigantic Soldiers Home with a
thousand lights burning. To the east was
the long bridge across Hampton creek,
with every few minutes a lighted omnibus
or pair of carriage lamps going leisurely
across. Further yet was railroad train
lighted and flying across its trestle
bridge. At the opening Of the
little bay were fisher boats. coming in
with all sail spread, the loud laughter and
chaffiag of the men easily heard at this
di stance. Turning inland you see broad
street, with shade trees each side casting
dark shadows. The lights twinkle its
whole length and at one point there is
bright spot-a pretty white hotel with
treble deck of verandahs. That is my
home for many days to come and there l
am to be at rest. Toe call of the bugle
sounds on the night air; it is the ''taps"
at the Soldiers Home the salt water is
beating with lazy monotone against the
shore; the fishermen have tied up their

Concentrate Vitality.

All excitants, to radically cure, must be
innocent. The art consists il continuing
their use until matters in the aystem con-
trary to health are removed. Health finds
happiness in the mere sense of existence.
8randreth's Pills stimulate the blood so
as to enable nature to throw off all morbid
humors, and cure disease, no matter by what
name it may be called.
The secret of recruiting the vital principal
is discovered in Brandreth's Pills, because
thew remove what holds it in check. 1t is
believed they possess the elements of vitality
Heat, animal warmth, is certainly increased
by the use Of this wonderful medicine. Pro-
vided the great organs are not irreparably
injured, there is no disease Brandreth's Pills
will not cure. The true art of healing is to
assist nature to throw off disease-to con.
centrate, as it were, the whole vitality of the
system to eject the enemy that has fastened

Get Brandreth's Pills! Be put of with
none other! and follow the printed directions
and health will surely bless you.

the cost of window glass. which in 1873
was $40 cents rs against 3 Ito cents
now. Since plate glass manufacturing
has been established here the cost has been
reduced from 81 80 to 81 foot. The
reason for this is that when the foreign
glass makers had control of our markets
they fixed the price to suit themselves.
