This county has the Secretary hut not the

A few days ago Interviewed j. J. Par

prominent democrats of Somerset county
As he tells the story. The democrats of

How beautiful are the above lines
uttered by the worlds creates mind
How infinite the scope of mans
power if his faculties are well pre-.
served. Nothing, short of creation
is to him impossible. Our soul is
lost i'll admiration when We contemp-
late the possibilities of this greatest
exhibition of Infinite Power. Yet
what is this "quintessence of dust
when blasted by disease-his noble
functions perverted or destroyed
AS "all men are born free and e.
quail" as far as moral rights are
concerned, so likewise We hold they
should be born physically, but as
long as children must suffer for the
sins of their parents this cannot be.
That the human race has deteriol a,
ted physically is conceded ques-
ton. To restore it is an impossible
i'y, as long as people persist in i'm
morality and indulgences which are
in disregard Of natures laws. The
most we can do is to ameliorate this
condition, and cure disease in indi-
viduals.
To this end we offer to the public,
remedies which have done more
good-accomplished better results
in overthrowing disease than any
others which have been discovered
up to the present time, viz:
DIR. FLOWERS LIVER AND
STOMACH SENTATIVE, AND
NERVE PILLS.
The former is an infallible remedy
for all affections of the Liver and
Stomach, and is besides an invalu.
able general tonic. The latter is a
reliable cure for all nervous diseases
and conditions, snch as Hysteria,
Sleeplessness, Nervous Prostl alton
Depression caused by overwork
etc.
These medicines are extensively
prescribed by physicians, IA recon
mendation which does not Obtain
with any other proprietary article,

druggists in New England a larger
sale than any other medicine.
IN HUNDREDS OF THOUS

A Boston Concert,

Mr.. Editor:-The Quarterly Concert given
last week at Boston Music Hall, by students of
the New England Conservatory, was an occasion
not soon to be forgotten by the immense audi
ence whose privilege it was to attend. The pro
gram consisted of selections for voice, piano and
violin. In the voice and piano NUMBERS the
compositions Of Rossini, Benedict Cowen, Bee
thoven Chopin, Weber and Schunahn were rep
resented, each number being most credita5ly
rendered. The violin numbers consisted of two
selections by AlarG, the first 'Fantais'e de
Concert" from "Trovatore" was carefully and

Conference of Passenger Men.

The passenger men held an adjourned meeting
yesterday afternoon tofurther confer as to carry
ing out their efforts to maintain rates. 1t seems
that some of the roads have since the agreement
was signed, found it necessary to cut the rates to
meet the scaper which the spirit of the agreement
admits of. But there seems to be determina-
tion to act harmoniously in the maintenance of
rates where it is possible so to do, and in case
rate is cut to meet the scalpers' rate, all
roads which are competitors are allowed to
make the same rate, should they choose
so to do. To illustrate, the Vandalia
sold tickets at So from indianapolis to st. Louis
to meet rates made by scslpers and the In
dianapolis & ST. Louis people were notified of
the reduction and also made a Sc rate to ST. Louis
