PARENTS, BE CAREFUL.

Domestic accidents are common to women,

ner, of South Rondout, Ulster Co., N. Y, some
weeks ago attempted to take from her child
pair of shears with which it was playing
slight struggle ensued, in which the point OF the
shears entered Mrs. Warmers left eve, entirely
destroying the sight. Her family physician did
what he could, but intensely painful infamma-
ton arose, which. by sympathy, threatened the
loss of the other eye. Total blindness to woman
having the care OF household is an irretrieva-
BILE calamity. In this strait Mrs. W applied to
the we'll known and sldlful Surgeon, DIR. David
kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y, who removed the
injured eye by very successful operation, set
ting aside all danger Of further harm to the sight
of the other eye. But owing to pain and mental
distress her system needed a tonic and restora-
tive medicine. To do this work tie Doctor pre-
scrIbed "Kennedy's Favorite Remedy" which
sustained its reputation and laid sure founda-
ton of health.

moves all impurities from the blood, regulates
the Liver and Kidneys, cures Constipation, and

The Seals.

1t is matter of decided interest to
find out Just what the seals are doing
how many fish they destroy and the
kinds of fish they consume. These
seals make decided impression upon
salmon, smelts. mackerel, and all the
choice fish that frequent the shores
and inland waters. If it is true that
we are feeding our seal menagerie at
an expense of 40 tons of fish day it
might be desirable that the job should
be taken off our hands. Considering
the cost, there is not enough fun to
warrant the show. As TO the point
made, that the seals have always been
here and have been regular feeders on
the fish named, it is said on the other
hand, that seals about the harbor have
greatly multiplied, and that they will
probably go on multiplying indefinitely
If they are not disturbed. But why they
should multiply faster now than in for
mer days is not explained. If another
4,000-b band of seals were added to the
present number, according to the pres
ent ratio of consumption it would re-
Quire 80 tons of fish daily to satisfy
the increased seal population. What,
then, would be left for the inhabitants?
But suppose, after all the facts have
been collected, il should be decided
that the seals must go, how are they to
be made to quit? Constant shooting
of them on the rocks might worry them
SO that they might seek more pea ceful
quarters for a time. But when the raid
had ceased, would not there be shortly
thereafter 1000 seals back in the old
haunts? 1t will be noted that the i'm
mense number of fur-seals killed in
Alaskan waters, and within limited
district. does not perceptibly decrease
the number. Just about as many FREE
quent the shores of the same islands
every year.-San Francisco Chron-

In the Virginia Democrat

In the Virginia Democratic caucus,
at Richmond, Hon John W, Daniel, was nom
mated for United States Senator by vote of
60 to 81 for Hon. John S. Barbour.
General Logan will be given his old
place as Chairman of the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs, Senator Sewell, the present
Chairman, taking charge of the Joint Library
Committee.
President Cleveland, in listening to
the protest of Senator Cullom against the ap-
pointmont of Miles ]. Finlen as Postmaster at
Streator, Ill, promised to investigate the case,
and remarked that Republican Senators had it
in their power to save the postal service from
the results of deception practiced upon him
The resolution offered by Eugene
Hale in the Senate, calling for list of Post
masters removed and appointed in the State of
Maine at the instance of National Committee
man Brown, is regarded as the preliminary at
tack which the Republicans propose making on
the Presidents combinations.
The Republican Senators met in eau
Gus at Washington on the 18th inst, and Mr..
Sherman resigned the Chairmanship which he
has held so long. Edmunds was chosen TO
succeed him. 1t was voted TO give Logan his
old Committee on Military Affairs, and place
Sewell at the head of the Joint Committee on
the Library All the rest of the time was spent
in discussing the position to be taken toward
the Presidents nominations. There was much
talk, aud tho extreme critics of the
Presidents appointments found that they
could not bind all their colleagues
to oppose tho confirmation of those
good in themselves, although made to fiji
vacancies caused by suspension. Logan, Sher-
man, Hale, Hoar, and others are said to have
made very vigorous speeches in favor of a de-
termined opposition 10 the confirmation of all
nominations save those good in themselves,
and made to fill vacancies caused by the ex-
piration of terms. Allison, Henderson, Came
ron of Pennsylvania, Dawes, Plat, and Van
WyclS are named as among those who favored
the policy of considering each case on its
merits, regardless of the status of the Office
when il was filed.
