Every once in while our national

of a spirited dispute among those who
search after the origin of such things.
Such a controversy is on just at pres
ent and it is reviving some interesting
history about that old-fashioned tune.
From the best theories that can b.
formed it is probable that Yankee
Doodle first came from Holland. In
the low countries of that kingdom there
has long been song which the har-
vesters sang. illustrating the fact that
buttermilk and one-tenth of the grain
they gathered was given as the price OF
their labor 1t runs thus:

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON ID. c.. May rs, 1885.
One of the strangest episodes of mod
ern political campaigning is that which
has just resulted in the election of Gen.
John A. Logan to succeed himself as
United States Senator from Illinois.
With the Legislature tie, and Repub-
licans In the body whose antipathy to
Logan had already kept him out of an
election for very near FIVE months, it
needed only Democratic success in one
of the strongest Democratic districts in
the State, to not only prevent Logan g
election, but TO ultimately insure the
success Of some Democratic candidate
by the election of a successor to Mr..
Shaw. Relying with the utmost con-
idence upon their strength in the dis
trict, Mr.. Morrison hies himself away
to Washington to see after the distribu-
tion of official pap, leaving the only as
surance to Democratic success to the
tender mercies of such manipulating
Republicans as "Long" Jones, Dan
Shepard, Anne Babcock and ex-Post-

The Revised ible.
Large Orders Received by the Pub
fishers and the Sales Begun.

The revised version of the Bible was
put on sale in Philadelphia and country
OIL Thursday morning, May 21st. The
American Sunday School Union receiy-
ed its supply at II O'Clock, midnight,
and three or four minutes later were
selling the books and filling orders,
with portion of its day force busily
at work. The ]. B. Lippincott Co., the
agents for the Cambridge edition, have
had their hands full for the past week
with orders from all over the country,
selling large numbers in New York,
while Nelson & Sons of that city agents
for the Oxford edition, have made good
sales in Philadelphia. Demands are
coming in continually for supplies that
cannot be furnished for at least three
weeks. The public, and the clerical
portion more especially, would not pur-
chase anything but .the cheaper styles
of the revised New Testament, but
now that the revised Bible is finished
finer and more lasting copies are de-
manded. Supplemental orders are con-
stantly being received for both the one
and two dollar editions. The Oxford
and Cambridge editions are exactly a
like. The edition published by Harper
s. Bros, of New York, is from the
Cambridge press although bearing their
imprint.
1t is believed that the complete Bible
will have continuous and steady sale
and always command a remunerative
price. A gentleman connected with
one of the religious boards said yester-
day that the clergy was sending in large
orders, most of which were for one fine
ly bound copy and the remainder for
gifts to friends. The sales, he thought,
would aggregate in money value more
than those of the New Testament.
The book is neatly bound in cloth
and contains 925 pages. After the title
page comes preface of ten pages. The
Old Testament follows in 679 pages,
which are increased IN this country to
696 by the addition of seventeen pages
of the American committees recon-
mendations. Following is the New
Testament, with 204 pages and fifteen
page preface. The print is clear and
beautiful and the binding substantial.
Reprints will be put out by the score,
Notwithstanding the great cost of COM
position which the venture will involve.

These men went down

master Palmer. These men went down
into this Democratic stronghold organ
lied their forces in the dead Of night,
held them in reserve at every balloting
place in the district until 8 O'Clock in
the afternoon, least the enemy might
suspect their intentions, and when the
vote was counted that night they had
carried off their Senatorial prize by q
round majority. AT l o'clock on the
morning after Logan's election, the
Presidents ears were greeted with the
thunder of SO guns, fired under his very
windows. 1t is no wonder that the
Democratic party is charged by the en-
emies of Democracy with never learn
ing and always forgetting.
Decoration Day, which is always
day of distinguished observance in
Washington rs to be more than usually
attended to this year. The President
is expected to speak ut the exercises at
Arlingtown, and the usual amount of
bad poetry will be flung in by way of
airing the ambition of those whose po-
etic souls were disappointed by the
cold, bleak spring that we haye had.
Col. Joice, the poet Leaurate of Ameri-
ca, whose divine afllatuS has been APP
propriated by Ella Wheeler, the Sweet
Singer of Chicago, will read one of his
Iambic effuSions, surviving which, the
audience will be treated to an idylic eff
fort from the pen and tongue of DR..
Mary Walker.
The project of propeilng the cars up
on elevated railways by electricity has
long been considered feasible, but has
not yet been put INTO practical opera
tion because of the claims of several
persons for priority of invention. Ed
ison, who has been claiming everything
in the way of applying electricity, was
one claimant Tor the discovery of this
method of locomotion, while Sir Will
lam Slemens was another, and Ma. )
ID. Field, of New York, another.
Through all of the stages of the contest
in the Patent Office here, Mr.. Field has
carried off the award for the original
discovery of the application, and this
award has to-day been confirmed hy
the Commissioner OF Patents. This
decision, under recent opinion of the
Supreme Court, is a finality, and Mr..
Field will at once proceed to apply his
invention upon all the elevated roads
in New York City. PHoNo.

THE DUTIES OF THE GENTLER SEX


e. HOW BEST FULFILLED.
What great task is assigned to wo-
man. Its dignity can not be elevated. 1t is
not her province 10 make laws, 10 lead
armies, nor to be at the head of great en-
tcrprises, but to her is given the power to
form those by whom the laws are made,
to teach the leaders of mighty armies and
the governors of vast empires. She is
required to guard against havinge the
slightest taint of bodily infrmity touch
the frail creature whose moral, intellect
ual and physical being is derived from
her. She must instil correct principles,
inculcatc right doctrines, and breathe into
the soul of her offspring those pure senti-
ments which in time to come will be a
part Of themselves, and bless generations
vet unborn. Yes, to woman is given the
blessed privilege of aiding the sufferer in
all the various stages of his existence. She
smiles serenely at the christening, and
weeps at the burial, while she soothes the
bereaved heart. This is her province and
duty. Yet how can she fulfill her mission
unless possessed of strong and healthy
body? The preparation of DIR. ). B.
Hartman, and known as PERUNA, is just
the thing for persons suffering from ma
iority of the complaints incident to this
climate. 1t is invaluable to women, and
Mrs. 7. w. Reynolds, of New Lisbon,
Columbiana county, Ohio, is noted ex-
ample of what the medicine can do. She
says she has suffered for years with con-
gestion of the lungs catarrh in the head,
and was troubled with bad cough. She
had tried a number of physicians, but
they all failed to cure her. She was in
duced to try PERUNA, and Immediately
marked change took place. After using
one bottle her cough ceased and in short
time her other ailments were cured. She
is now completely restored to health, and
gives all the credit to PERUNA. Mr.. ].
w. Reynolds, her husband, was con-
firmed invalid. He could not sleep well,
neither could he work. Heused PERUNA,
and rs result, was completely restored
to his former vigor and strength. He
SAYS he now feels like new man.
Mr.. Bernhardt Seubs, st. Clair, st.
Clair county, Mich, says: 81 have thor
oughly tried your PERUNA in the various
diseases to which parents and large FAM
ily of children are ever liable, and find
it every case to be just the thing needed.
No family can honestly be without it."
Nancy Feterman, Cookport, Indiana
County, Pa, says: Gentlemen: Your
valuable PERUNA is the best medicine I
ever used," -.sa
III is now conceded on all sides that
there is rot and never has been q rene.
dy of such remarkable efficacy as Curtis
Carmelite Cordial, in curing cholera,
dysentarv, cholera mOrbus, summer
complaints, cramps, pains in the bow
els, or any intestinal irritation whatev-
er, single dose brings remarkable re-
lief and a single bottle is guaranteed to
cure any case or money refunded. A
remarkable pain killer and valuable
household remedy.

Victor Hugo, the Poet, Dead.

PARIS, May 22.-Victor Hugo died at
half past one O'Clock to-day.
In the Senate NJ LeROyer delivered a
eulogy on Hugo. The speaker SAID that
for the past sixty years Victor Hugo
had been the admiration of France and
the world. He had now entered i'm
mortality. His glory belonged to no
party, but to all men. Prime Minister
Brisson delivered eulogy in the Cham
ber of Deputies. He said the whole
nation mourned the loss of Victor HUI
90, and moved that the funeral of the
poet be conducted at the States ex-
pense. Tbe motion was greeted with
applause. The Senate and Chamber ad-
journed out Of respect TO the memory Of
the dead.
The newspapers of Paris appear in
mourning this evening. 1t is believed
that the funeral will be the grandest
seen in France for century. The poet
was sketched as he lay on his death bed
by the great painter, Bonnat, who will
transfer to canvass the impression TAX
en-. 1t is reported that NJ. Hugo be-
queathed his manuscripts to France.
Victor Hugo passed away peacefully,
without suffering. His death has caus-
ed profound emotion in the capital.
The residence of the deceased
is surrounded by large crowds. MILO
quet, President of the Chamber of Dep
uties, has requested M. Allain- large,
Minister of the Interior, to allow the
coffin to lie under the Are de Triumphe
for twenty-four hours. The Municipal
Council has expressed the wish that
the remains be inferred in the Panthe-
on. This wish will be considered by
the Council of Ministers tomorrow.
The death of M. Hugo dwarfs every
other subject, political as well as social.
