An elastic step, bouyant spirits, and
clear complexion, are among the many
desirable results of poor blood. The
possessor of healthy blood has his fac

clear and quick perception, which is
impossible when the blood is heavy
and sluggish with impurities. Ayers
Sarsaparilla is the best blood purifier

ty little woman listening for the foot
steps of her lord and master. This
charming picture of domestic bliss
John Alderman fully appreciated as
he stepped into the room a few minutes
Tea ended, the following conversation
began:
aOme with me for a long visit, John.
Don't you think it would be a capital
thing if she and your brother Tom
would fall in love with each other? They
could get married and set up house
keeping in that house across the street;
and, oh, John, it would make me perfect

John Alderman laughed long and
heartily.

last. Miserable yourself, and want
everybody else to be; Is that it, Min
nie?"
Don't laugh, John, for Pm in earnest
1 know they will like each other, and I
have set my heart on the match. Just
think how nice it would be to have Amy
here always; and Tom is such a darling
Amy should furnish her sitting room
just like ours, only where this is blue
hers should be cardinal, for she is dark,
you know"
John was laughing again by this time.
However, he fell in with the plan read
lily enough.

a word of this to Tom or Amy, or they
will take dislike to each other imme-
diately."
at know it." wisely reioined Minnie.
"When 1 told Tom was going to visit
Aunt Margaret, 1 did Dot mention Amy's
name, and I don't think he knows of
her existence. As for Amy, 1 have been
with her so little since L was married,
that 1 am sure L never spoke to her of
Tom"
Minnie departed theEnext morning.
The day before she was to return, Aunt
Margaret fell i'll, and Amy felt obliged to
postpone her visit for a few days at
least. Minnie could 90 on as she intend
ed, and she would follow as soon as her
Aunt Margaret could spare her. Thus it
happened that Minnie returned home
alone.
One morning John said: 1--WE had
better take that run to Camden Town
to-day. We must go some time this
month, and of course you won't want to
go after your sister comes"
''John, you know we cannot stay away
all night; gave Jenny leave of absence
until Friday, and 1t won't do to leave the
house alone"
"Pn get Tom to come over and sleep
here"
Minnie had no other reasonable OBJ
lection to offer after this, so she prepared
to 60.
''There are three keys" said she, as
they left. You can give one to Tom, and
viii leave one with Mrs. Gates, next
door. The house might take fire, and
then it would be better to have a key, SC
that they could get in the house and

Yes" said John, sarcastically, cor

the house day and night"
About ten o'clock that evening Miss
Amy Arden aighted from an express

The report of the growing crops for August
ssued by the department Of Agriculture ONION
day, has the following references to the crops
in the counties of Maryland.
The condition of the corn crop in Maryland
on the LIST of August is most favorable, though
planted late. 1t has made such growth in June
and July from frequent rains and high temper
atnre that it may now be placed as an average
crop.
The winter. wheat crop has so far yielded, on
being ,hrashed fine, plump, sound grain, IN
quantity far exceeding expectation. In sere-
raj localities in the State there have been unus-
ual rainfals, accompanied with wind and
lightning, doing much harm t" crops.
Tobacco gives every indication OF Il superior
crop in weight, size and texture of leaf. Its
condition at present is very encouraging to the
planters.

Republican politician from Baltimore,
who was in Washington on Tuesday, while
discussing the question of who shall be tho
Republican nominee for Congress from the
Fifth District, said he had recently talked the
matter over with Mr.. Gary and several other
prominent republicans. They said that Mr..
Holton had declared to them that he would not
be a candidate for Congress for $50, 900 year.
They admitted that they had seen it stated in
the new spapers that Mr.. Holton would accept a
ii unanimous denomination, but they were posi-
tive that Mr. Holton had never intimated to
tn en- his intention of again becoming candi-
date. He said there were a great many re-
publicans in the fifth district who would not
believe Mr.. Holton is again candidate until
they Sc an official announcement to that effect
from that gentleman. He said there was no
doubt but that Mr.. HILTON could get the nomi-
na ton if would take it, but the people are anx-
ious to know where he stands. He first de-
clared that he would not und any circum-
stances accept the nomination, and now it is
claimed that he is willing to accept if the NOM
ination comes to him unanimously. If Mr..
Holton wants TO run for Congress again he
should he says come out and Say so frankly.
Should Mr.. Holton positively decline, he said
he considered Mr.. james Gary the most
available man for the place. Should he a's'
decline, Mr. Tolbert J. Albert would make a
strong candidate against Mr.. Compton. When
asked what show DR.. ". q. Greene would
b I'VE with Mr.. Holton ont of the field he said
Dr. Greene WAS TOO new in Maryl md politics
to expect to lie sent to Congress. Mr.. Gary Is
reported to have said that he would uoi vote
for DR. Greene should he receive the nomina-
ZION because he was not known well enough
throug bout the district. He said DR.. Greene
WAS well known in Prince Georges county,
but he could not get out more than half OF the
republican votes in the district.
