A SHREwD WIFE.-"My DEAR"
said young wife to her husband,
who had already fallen into the habit
of going to the lodge in the evening,
and who was just preparing to go
out, 81 am going up street to inter-
view the superintendent of the post
office this evening"" ssAh! indeed !;
on what business, pray?" I want to
see if he can give me any advice in
regard to getting a habitually late
male in on time" The husband
blushed, pretended he was looking
for a newspaper instead of his hat,
and there was member absent from
the lodge that night.

from the cattle on the plains is actu-

kept and sold in the markets as fuel.
Who can doubt the civllizing infu-
ence of coal mine upon the people
living on the great Mexican plateau?
If, as has been said scoal is en-
pire," inasmuch as coal is heat, heat
power, and power empire, any very
great advancement of this people in
the arts and industries of civilization
must await better supply of fuel.
1t ought, perhaps, to be stated
that down the mountain slopes near
the coast coal is found, and timber is
also plenty; and when the different
railway lines now building are COM
pleted fuel will not be as scarce in
the upland. Then the world will be
likely to hear again from the old
mines at Zacatecas.
High among the mountains as it is,
Zacatecas ought to be very healthy

principally with the poor, who are
most miserably clad, and more mis-

them at least, wherever night over
takes them; the even temperature
making this possible, as the ther-
mometer seldom falls to the freezing
point. There is absolutely no sewage
system whatever in the city, the
whole drainage being from the sur
face, which is kept tolerably clean,

Brazil is in the full tide of vol
untary and successful emancipation
of it's chattel slaves. On the 25th of
March, last year, the province of Ca
era, which lies just below the equa-
tor, and some 400 miles or so from
the capitol, decreed the emancipation
of its slaves. On the 10th of July
the province of Amazonians, the ex-
treme northwest division of the en-
pire, followed the example Caera.
In Para no general decree has been
issued, but emancipation, by gift and
purchase, has progressed rapidly. The
emperor is a strong supporter of the
movement, comforting the personal
titles of baron and viscount on those
who respectively liberate 10 or l5
slaves. There were only $4,000
slaves in Para in January, 1884 now
there is less than half that number.
The elections to parliament in De-
cember last were favorable to the alb
olitionists.

THE LOCAL EDITORS GROWL

If a man buys a new buggy, or if
his cow can bawl three times without
winking, the local is expected to pro-
claim it with a grand flourish. If he
starts two-penny business, his first
thought is to bribe the local editor
with five-cent cigar to write up
five dollar puff. Indeed, he thinks
it the mission of the local to make his
fortune for him by free blowing. He
will take the local to one side and
point out the superior qualities of
rat-terrier dog and coolly ask him to
"give him hoist. He don't care
anything about it, only Spriggins has
a dog which he thinks is buster,
and some of 'em wanted HIM ''put
in" just to take the conceit cut of
Spriggins. EVERYBODY wants to be
"put in" they are the "Great Am,"
but no one says, "Here, local, put
yourself inside of this new suit of
clothes,' or, "Throw yourself outside
of this oyster stew" or, "Stuff this
watch into your pocket" Oh, no,
of course not; that would cost some
thing. The shoe is on the other foot,
you see. The local is supposed TO
know everything of other peoples
business, and is supposed to show up
the actors in every family broil in
town. If the vile tongue of scandal
finds a victim, people wonder why he
don't run around with his note book
and gather up the vituperative bits
of SANDER. If he steps into bill
lard hall, he is expected to make a
note of the astonishing fact that Bill
Tompkins has made run of eleven
! points. When the minstrels arrive
in town the agent Immediately rushes
with haste into the printing office,
and calling for the local, he slips
three or four tickets into his hand,
and whispers. "Draw us big house
Put it strong!'' and patting him
patronizingly on the shoulder, the
agent admits the inferiority of his
troupe, but we are not to let on. 1t
is no sin for a local to lie. To please
the lecturer the local is forced to sit
two mortal hours to hear him 60 thro'
an insipid discourse so that he can
"write him up" And in it goes.
All are anxious to appear in print fa-
vorably, but few are willing to pay
for it The locals time is worth
nothing but to bother his head writ
ing puffs for other persons. 1t don't
cost him anything to live. He never
eats, or drinks, or travels, and money
is of no use to him. Put it in! Put
it in !-Manheim1 Sentinel.

AYERS PILLS.

large proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from derange-
ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment, including Constipation, Indiges-
tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and a host of other ailments, for all of
which they are safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac-
tice, shows Enthusiastically tue estimation in
which they are held by the medical profes-
sion.
These PILLS are compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
LAYERS PILLS are invaluable to me, and
are my constant companion. 1 have been
q severe sufferer from Headache, and your
PILLS are the only thing 1 could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. They
are the most effective and the easiest physic
have ever found. 1t is a pleasure to me to
speak in their praise, and 1 always do SO
when occasion offers.

Franklin ST., Richmond, Va, June 3, 1882.
"I have used AYERS PILLS in number
less instances as recommended by you, and
have never known them to fail to accomplish
the desired result. We constantly keep them
on hand at our home, and prize them as
pleasant safe, and reliable family medicine.
FOR DYSPEPSIA they are invaluable.

Mexia, Texas, June II, 1882.
The REV. FRANCIS B. HARLowE, writing
from Atlanta, Ga, says: "For some years
past have been subject to constipation,
from which, in spite of the use of medi-
CineS of VariOuS kinds I suffered INCREASING
inconvenience, until some months ago
began taking AYERS PILLS. They have
entirely corrected the costive habit, and
have vastly improved my general health"
AYERS CATHARTIc PILLS correct irregu-
larities of the bowels, stimulate the appe-
tite and digestion, and by their prompt and
thorough action give tone and vigor to the
whole physical economy.
