"Women are necessary evil" he said, bring
ing down his fist hard on the counter to empha-
size the heartless remark. Ii wasln the village
store at West Milton, Saratoga County, and the
speaker was the central figure or group OF
bucohc philosophers. He was homel7, SLOW
enly aud sixty. "Theres where differ from
you altogether" said Mr.. George L. Graham.
OF the same place. women are mostly what
men make em. When husbands are brutes
wives will fall into submission or make home
hot for the men, and they're unnatural in
either character. Love them, and especially
be good to them when they're sick, and you'll
have no trouble. There's my own wife, now.
She's suffered good deal with dyspepsia, ner-
GUS prostration and other ailments that took
the bloom off her cheeks and the spring out or
steps. Well, she saw an advertisement OF PAR
KER's Tonic, and thought it would be just the
thing for her case. Gentlemen, | sent five miles
after bottle. She took it, / sent again after
more. SO several times. Trouble? Why, if
you could see how much good it has done her
YOU would say that women are the greatest OF
Gods blessings, and PARKER's Tonic is the
next"
This preparation, which has been known as
PARKER's GINGER Tonic, will hereafter be call
ed simply PARKERs Tonic. This change has
been rend ered necessary by substitutes lmpos-
ed upon their CUSTOMERS by unprincpled Deal
ers under the name Of ginger; and as ginger IL
really an unimportant flavoring Ingredient, We
drop the misleading word.
There is no change, however, IN the prepare
ton itself, and all bottles remaining in the

An old man from Lawton whose locks
were whitened by the SHOWS of many win
tiers applied to one of our magistrates for
advice. He said he had lost his health in
tho army, and had recently married woman
whom he loved, and with whom he desired
to trot gently down the declining hill OF life.
But when he returned home the other night
he found her cold-not dead, but alive-and
standing 49o below zero. She said she did
not love him, that there was a man at Kaa-
mazoo who had won her aged heart, and
upon whose manly breast she preferred TO
lay her weary head, that all she married him
for was to have home for the winter, and
when the gentle breezes of spring should
come, she intended to launch her little canoe
in other waters. He desired to know if he
was obliged to keep her till spring, and until
the Kalamazoo man should call for her. The
justice advised him to get the other fellow
to put up for her board during the winter
and when spring came he could deliver the
goods in good condition, and, probably he
would never be sorry for so doing. He
thanked the court for its advice and an
nounced that he would act thereon.

Free Trade in Ireland.

Extract from address delivered by Freeman
Franklin, democratic farmer, before Pomona
Grange, BerIien Co.
Any one doubling the policy of England
has but to become student of Irish history,
and he will be convinced. Ireland was once
o great manufacturing nation, and conse-
quently wealthy. Even English capital was
greatly invested there. But after the union
between England and Ireland was brought
about, and England became mistress of the
situation, she shrewdly enacted laws which
have pauperized Ireland and enriched her
self. She made q tariff which permitted the
raw material to be shipped from Ireland to
her harbors free of duty: placed high
tariff on all goods manufactured in Ireland
which sought an English market, and made
a very low tariff on all English goods seeking
an Irish market, thus protecting her manu-
features and crippling Ireland's, and the con-
sequence was that it soon closed nearly all
the factories in Ireland, and capitalists with
drew their money and invested it in Eng
land, thus throwing thousands of operatives
out of employment, and forcing them to be
tillers of the soil, and as consequence, Ire
land is poor. In my opinion, the same re-
suit would follow in America, should Eng
land succeed in establishing her absolute
free trade doctrines.

the good looking deputy, was unable to aid
her in that direction. She also tried to get
six postal cards for four cents, but Robert
was doing business for "Uncle Sam" and
told her to apply to him for cutting rates
She then did some trading at Holmes q
Spicer's, and as she sailed away rejoicing
she was heard to remark that Sam was the
only man she had met that day who had a
soul. as he would sell her two herrings for a
cent or two young Goldfish for a nickel.
