Number One Said to BE Unable to sepa-
rate Her Husband from Number Two.
New York Letter in Phil ,dclphia News. 1
Dion Bouccault will not be prosecuted
here when he arrives from Australia with
his bride, notwithstanding the desire of
his older wife to punish him for his new
wedlock. Mrs. Agnes Robertson Bouci-
cault is now living in London, whence
she wrote to her lawyers in this city on
learning of her husbands matrimony
with Louise Thorndyke in Melbourne.
Her counsel have responded that he could
only be prosecuted In case positive proof
ola marriage ceremony with Miss Thorn
dyke was obtainable. Up to about year
ago Mrs. Boucicault lived with her son
and two daughters very quietly In Hat
in New York, receiving n regular stipend
from the comedian. 1t was then under
stood that the children sided with her in
the family trouble. Subsequently Dot
and Nina joined him on the stage, and
the second daughter accompanied her to
London. The remittanceS of money to
her are secured by adequate bonds
Miss Thorndyke is only Iour or five
years older than Dot or Nina, with
whom she acted in the Boucicaut plays
before the trip of the party to Australia
a letter from Williamson, the manager
under whom they appeared III Melbourne,
mentions that the younger Bouccaults
accompanied their father and stepmother
to entertainments given by the governor
general. The lawyers best information
is that, though there was u wedding re
ception, the presumed ceremony was in
private, 50 that Mrs. Robertson Bouci-
cault has no chance to prosecute. She
can continue to exact support.

In time. Kidney diseases may be prevented
by purifying, renewing, and invlgorating
the blood with Ayers Sarsaparilla. When,
through debility, the action of the kidneys
Is perverted, these organs rob the blood OF
its needed constituent, albumen, which Is
passed off in the urine, while worn out

The Hermit of New York" writes to

of the late John u. Howard recalls some

was associated with his brother Daniel in

The Clean Newspaper.
Printers Circular.l

There is u growing feeling, in healthy
communities. against journals which make
it their special object to minister to per
verified taste by seeking out and serving up
in a seductive form disgusting and licen-
tious revelations. There is good reason TO
believe that the clean newspaper is more
highly priced to-day than it was four or
five years ago. 1t is also safe to predict
that, rs people in all ranks of life who
protect their own, at least, from con-
taminatiOn, become more conscious of the
pernclOus influence of Il certain class of
journals, called enterprising because they
are ambitious to serve up dirty scandals,
they will be careful to see that the jour
mails they permit to be read in the family
circle are the class that never forget the
proprieties of life. Already men and wo.
men of refinement and healthy morals
have had their attention called to the per-
nicious influence of bad literature, and
have made commendable efforts to coun-
teract the same 10y causing sound litera-
ture TO be published and sold at popular
prices These efforts are working Il silent
but sure revolution. The best authors
are more generally read to-day than at
any previous date. The sickly sentiment
al story paper, and the wild ranger and
pirate story books are slowly but surely
yielding the field to wOrthier claimants,
To the praise of the decent newspaper, it
may be sad, that where it has place in
the family, and has been read for years
by young rs well us old, it has developed
such healthy tone and such IA discrimn-
ating taste that the literature Of the
slums has no admirers. Fortunately,
the number of such families is increasing
/ in the land, and as they increase the jour
nal that devotes itself to sickening reve-
lations OF immortality will be compelled
to find its supporters solely among those
classes who practice vice and crime, on
are ambitious to learn to follow such ways.

ANYTHING TO BEAT TIE

just as we expected; the Republican
allies of the Prohibitionists are letting
their own Cat out of the bag early in the
gene. A correspondent of the WHO,
writing from Augusta county about their
movement, says;
''Ihe great bulk of the Republican party
will vote that ticket, as with us it is anything
to beat the Democrats

cans want to ''beat the Democrats'' of
Augusta for ? That they may send mem
bers of the legislature who will vote for

may send delegates there to elect Demo.

Instead Of deploring the sacrifices of life
and condemning the frenzy which caused
it, 1.-THE Danville AFFAIR.", the horrid de-
tails were sent broadcast through the
Valley for partizan purposes and to infu-
ence votes to the Democratic party. That
much is indisputable. Mr.. Wise may have
been severe in his structures and unguarded in
his language. Of this we know nothing, but
the conduct of the managers of the Demo-
cratic campaign of 1883 was inexeusable, to
say the least, and indefensible to the last de-
gree Valley Vryinian.
The conduct of the managers Of the
Republican campaign of 1888, ought also
to appear to our contemporary ''jnexcus
able and indefensble to the last degree. -
