AMERICAN Register: at has been found
that at the thirty-four Clubs lately closed
in Paris the profits of the gambling tables
amounted daily in all to $500 francs.
In the remaining twenty-three Partisan
Clubs-the ''swelI" Clubs - the profits
were probably quite as much. Thus the
gambling tables of Paris alone make a
profit of at least 100000 francs year.

PILES.

PILES are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some at
lection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are psesent, as flatulency, IN
e~asiness of the stomach, etc. A mois-
ture, like perspiration, producing a
very disagreeabie itching, particular
ly at night after getting warn in bed,
is q very common attendant. Blind,
Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at
once to thu application of DR.. Bosan-
kos Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts affected, absorbing the
Tumors, allaying the intense itching,
and ~effecting a permanent cure, where
all other remedies have failed. Do
not delay until the drain on the sys-
tenn produces permanent disability,

For the Democrat,
Iron Bridges and Sewer Tie.

Iron Bridges and Sewer Tile.
Developments" are bringing to
light ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain, =" to such an extent that
it certainly would be to the interest Of
taxpayers to have a thorough over
hauling of the transactions OF our late
Auditor and County Commissioners
Ii such alterations and amendments
as are found in the Clerk of the Infirm-
airy Trustees accounts are guides of
what exist in the larger departments of
the county officials, there is a s'whale's
nest" in and around the Court House
that might lie a big find Of oil for u
County Treasury.
There are some "pointers" in sewer
tile contracts that look "scaly and
crooked" Our beloved County Com
missioners paid last year for all, or
about all, the tile for culverts, used in
the county, 10 to 10 per cent. more than
regular dealers would have been glad
to have flu nished them for, and yet
there are two of our Commissioners
that are disposed to continue that kind
of saving to our county's burthens.-
If it is thusly in %culverts, what must it
be in those big bridges, where the COW
ering up is so easily done? If there
are such populations as have been dis
covered in the small things that has
demanded an investigation, why not
go into the big jobs? 1t is by analyzing
that sound conclusions are reached;
therefore, if our county officers have
been stealing in the few hundred dol
lars in their small transactions, there
must be boomers in their big transac-
tions.. There is a reasonable demand
by u citizens from late disclosures,
for a thorough overhauling and inyes-
tigation of our ordinary and E1rRA-oI-
binary expenditures for the past three
years. 'Let no guilty man go clear"

GEOGRAPHICAL,

CHARLES MILTON, a son of Theodore
and Sarah Harbaugh, was born in
Waynesborough, Franklin County, Pa,
Dec. 24th, 1885, and died on Friday,
Jan. 18th, 1884, at about 4 o'clock p. m.
He was aged 4S years and IL days.
Having resided with his parents in
this place for a number of years, he in
early manhood entered the military SER
vice of his country and passed through
the Kansas troubles. Then, during the
late rebellion he again volunteered his
services in the 9Th Ohio Cavalry, under
the command of Capt. Minor, and served
through the war. After its close he re-
turned to his home in Eaton, and was
one of our fellow-citizens until about
eight years ago, when he went into bu-
siness in Chattanooga, Tenn. Failing
health about one year ago again brought
him to the home of his parents. After
its recovery he again went south, but
not to remain there as he had hoped, but
speedily to retrace his steps that he
might lie down and die amid the scenes
of early youth, and the fostering care of
loving friends. After intense suffering
ne slept quietly away on the afternoon
of the 18th inst.
And now are you here assembled, fell
low citizens, and especially you, soldiers
of the Grand Army Of the Republic, to
pay your last tribute of respect to one who
passed over many a blood stained battle
field at your side. 1t is proper that you
should do so. Your guns have long since
been siienced, and your swords sheath
ed, and you are once more enjoying the
sweets Of home and ofpeace. In private
life you are one of our number, now
marching under the banner of the
'Prince of Peace" whose conquests are
gained by faith, and whose progress is
the progress of salvation. Let US rejoice
over the blessed change. a few more
years and our Work on earth will be
completed. Then the place that now
knows us will know US no more. There
is a time appointed when ''the dust shall
return to the earth as it was, and the
spirit shall return unto God who gave
it." The thought may be sad, but the
decree may not be reversed. And why
should it be? when
"Jesus can make a dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are"
Then let us be true 'tsoldiers OF the cross
and followers of the Lamb"
The peace of God be with the depart
ed brother. In conclusion permit me to
| address the bereaved family in the Ian
guage OF the Apostle Paul to the church
at Ephesus: "And now, brethren, 1 COM
mend you to God, and to the word OF His
grace, which is able to build you up, and
to give you an inheritance among all
them which are sanctified."

Deatl, of Miss Lacy y. Welsh

Miss Lucy VICTORIA WELSH, daughter
OF DIR. Jas. B. Welsh, died last Friday
morning, aged so years. A short time
ago Lucy went to Florida, with the hope
that there amidst its flowers and fruits
and a climate unexcelled, she might find
relief and cure from the disease which
appeared to have fastened itself upon
her vitals, but even that favored cline
could not restore her to health, and on
the morning of the 18th day of January
she passed peacefully away OF that dread
disease and fell destroyer, Consumption.
Earth's troubles past, her cares and du-
ties done, Gods peace rests upon the
grave of Lucy Welsh, a sweet and hal
lowed shrine to many that knew and
dearly loved her. She met her death in
the prosperous morning of her existence,
in the bright flush of w~omanhood, full
of kindness and social graces that made
her beloved in a wide circle of warm
friends, on whose hearts her name is
clearly written in lines of living light.
"Life is like the summer rose
That opens to the morning sky,
But ere the shades of evening close
Isscattered on the ground-to die"
Her funeral was on Sunday afternoon
last, and to many the above lines were a
mournful reality as they paid their last
tribute of love and respect to one, who
in the spring-time of life, surrounded by
young and loving associates and every
thing to make life dear, was consigned
to the silent tomb. Lucy Welsh has
gone to join the redeemed across the
river. The rose just budding in its YER
dant freshness into purity and sweet
ness being pllcked, withers and dies.
but her young life full OF joy and hope.
has been gathered by the Reaper to be
transplanted in those celestial fields Of

tives and friends, and more especially tc
her loving and only sister, be of good
cheer and wait the "sweet bye and bye
