It is an encouraging sign of the times that so many of the leading railway corporations now require abstinence from intoxicating bever- ages on the part of their employees while on duty, and in some instances that they must be total abstainers. This significant action, though not prompted by philanthropic consider atlons, but rather with view to div ide nds, is valuable practical recog- nition of the temperance reform. If abstinence from intoxicants on the part of employees Of great corpora tions Is thus found to be factor of business success, such fact is it. self an object lesson of great signifi canoe, Illustrating the value and wisdom of total abstinence for all.
 The Lehigh Valley line has earn ed the commendation of the travel ling public and established paise- worthy precedent for all other rail- way lines, the past summer, by giv- ing strict orders to all conductors of passenger r-trains to see that tobacco is mot used in any form by any person employed upon passenger train while on duty" This line likewise forbids intoxicating liquors to employees. In forbidding also the use of tobacco they add materi- ally to the comfort of their possen gers, thus relieved from contact with train hands constantly chewing to- bacco or extensively odorous from smoking a pipe or cigar at every available opportunity. May their good example be followed by others in both railway and steamboat man agement.
 The saloon liquor traffic IS severe ly denounced, and justly so, as high ly inlmical to the public welfare. Relatively too little attention, how ever, is given to the irreparable in jury done in many a home by the sale of intoxicating liquors by gro- cers. At the recent annual meeting of the Philadelphia County Woman's Christian Temperance Union reso- lution was adopted declaring: That as members of the Woman's Christi ian Temperance Union we will with draw our patronage from all grocers who deal in iquor." If the mem bers of all temperance organizations everywhere would ''go and do like wise," much good would follow in the way of needed restraint upon liquor selling grocers.

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of weight in the back, Joins and lower part of the abdomen, causing the patient 10 suppose he had some affec- tion of the Kidneys or ncighboring or gans. At times, symptoms of indiges- ton are present, as fatulency, uneasi- ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture. like perspiration, producing very disagreeablc itching, after getting warm, is q very common attendant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at once to the application of Dr Bo- sanko's Pile Remedy, which acts direct iy upon the part affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the intense itching, and effecting permanent cure.

1ED-RIDDEN for LIFE!
BRACE UP!.

And move lively, like you hnd an ob- jective point ahead of you. and had de- termined to reach it in the shortest time possible. It matters not what your avocation Is, there is nothing like quick, active, strong positive, and constant labor on your part in order for you to succeed. Life k too short, and time is too valuable for people to waste either waiting for something to turn uph by which they car live without labor. When you are In good health, your mind and body work to- gether your ideas are clear, and your strength is sufficient 10 carry you through any of the arduous duties Of life. Health is wealth." With it al- most anything can be accomplished that is pursued with diligence ana ln- dustry, but without it the mind is clcudei, the physical ability is lack- ing, and the energy is parnlyzed. A large majority Of our most successful citizens regardless of their aNpcatiOns, are those who are healthy and strong. and are able to work with vim at any and all times. Therefore, if you desire success, look after your health. If you value the pleasures and com forts of life, keep your system m good condition and all will be well. Browns Iron Remedy IS medicine that is Gu- ing more to brace up shattered and broken down consultations than all other remedies and so-called tonics that are known in this country. I is a remedy that is prepared especially for the diseases and troubles of the southern climate. It strikes at the foundation Of such diseases, and eradl- cates them from the system.

DIR. c. r. DUNCAN'S LIVER AND KIDNEY MEDICINE.

B FER THAN QUININE.

Dr. lncan's Chill Tonic is the best chill cure known. It is much bet ter than quinine or any other chill ton ic now on the market, because it is a fine blood tonic combined with the most powerful antiperiodics, or chill cure known. It is combined with Iron which tones and builds up the blood and the whole system, while 1t breaks up the chill.

A SENSATIONAL DRAMA

The Figaro and other Paris papers OF
the 23d publish details OF the following
sensational drama, which they allege
has just occurred in Paris in the family
Of wealthy and we'll known American
residing near the Avenue du Bots de
Boulogne. The married couple lived
most happily together for several years,
but last week the husband discovered
his wife guilty of clandestine relations
with the gardener. Ten days later he
found in one of his wife's dresses a love
letter from the gardener, containing the
following sentence: "Poison your hus.
band and we will flee together to New
York, where we will live happily"
The husband said nothing. In silence
he awaited the moment for a terrible
revenge. Last night as the husband
and wife were going to bed the wife,
according to her usual custom, placed
two glasses Of sugar and water, one for
herself and one for her husband, on the
dressing table near the bed, the wife, as
she had always done, putting the sugar
in the water. The husband watched the
operation, betraying no unusual express
sion. lust as the wife was about TO
drink, the husband asked her to hand
him silk handkerchief that was hang
ing on the back of chair. As she
turned to take the handkerchief her
husband adroitly reversed the tray up.
on which were placed the two glasses,
so the one intended for him stood in
place of that intended for his wife.
The husband and wife then drank at
the same moment. As the husband,
after emptying his glass, calmly re-.
placed it on the dressing table, his wife
fell to the floor shrieking in agony.
She had swallowed the dose of strych-
nine that she had, with her own hands,
prepared for her husband. The affair
caused a great sensation. The wife is
not dead yet, but is suffering terribly.
An official inquiry is being instituted,
and the husband and gardener are both
under arrest.

GENERAL GORDON.

The press of this country vies with
that of England in publishing eulogles
on the life and character of General
Gordon, which prove him to have been
a most extraordinary man. One incl
dent Of his career, as has been stated,
will bear repetition. When his work
in China was done, he retired to his
home at Gravesend, "among the hedge
rows of Old England" where his house
became alternately school, hospital
and an almshouse. No monk ever more
thoroughly devoted himself to the SER
vice Of the poor. He rescued beggar
boys from the gutter and life of crime,
clothed them, taught them, and called
them "his kings" He even sold the
gold medals given him for his services
in China to furnish funds for his good
work, holding fame as naught before
the demands of charity, He was brave
to rashness, but withal possessed the
highest christian virtues.

ITALIAN CHEAP LABOR.

A Chicago exchange says that Capt.
Moreno, who broke up the Italian pa
droni system, by means Of which little
children and beggars were shipped from
Italy to this country, says there exists
another abuse that is almost as bad.
The padroni now bring thousands Of
adults to America, keep them in some
thing like bondage, and hire them out
to contractors at various places. Ac-
cording to the Captains figures there
are now 80, 900 OF these men in the
United States, receiving from the pa
dsoni about IS cents per day, but net
ting their owners handsome profit on
each days work. While the practice
may be objected to on the ground of
humanity, here in America we should
concern ourselves principally with the
effect which this most servile labor has
upon our own workingmen. Captain
Moreno is laboring for the benefit of the
Italians. He would prevent their i'm
portatioa because he believes they are
the victims Of designing men. Con
gress should take action the matter for
the benefit of the laborers, who ought
net to be subjected to any such compe-
tition. A bill has already passed the
House, and is now under consideration
in the Senate with this end in view. 1t
is entitled, "An act to prohibit the i'm.
portation and emigration Of foreigners
and aliens under contract or agreement
to perform labor in the United States,
its Territories, and the District Of Col
umbia." Senator ingalls,, in his re-
marks favoring the bill, expressed ex.
actly the problem which confronts the
United States. He thinks awe are now
called upon to decide whether every
man, woman and child on the face of
the earth, no matter in what condition
of physical or intellectual development
or moral standing, has natural right
to come to the United States and do
and act as he pleases to the detriment

STATISTICS show that 20, 900, 900 OF
acres of land in the United States are
held by foreigners, and the latter num-
Der less than thirty persons or erganiza-
tons, which ma kes an average Of three
quarters of million acres owned by
each. This is dangerous, because it
concentrates such large tracts in the
hands of so few that they cannot be
cultivated properly, but only rented out
for grazing purposes. 1t is much bet.
ter for the nation that the land shall be
divided up into small farms to be owned
and cultivated by one and the same
person. Otherwise there is, as the
country grows older, and the land grows
more valuable, danger Of the introduc-
ton Of the landlord system which has
been such an evil in the old country.
