LOST CHILDREN.
why SO Many Little Ones Have Been
Lost and tho Responsibility
of Parents.

There was probably no happier homo in
America than that OF Mr.. James V. Allan Of
Philadelphia. There is probably none moro
miserable to-day. Four weeks ago Mr. Al
Ian had bright ana attractive child that
was the pet Of the home aud the Joy OF ali
his friends. To-day no childish voice Is TO
be heard In the household, for 1t has been
stillcd in death. Mrs. Allan noticed that
the child was ailing, that IL failed to take its
food properly or with relish, and that some
thing seemed to be troubling 1t, but she
thought II was only OF temporary nature
md would soon pass away. She now knows
that then was the time TO have taken the
disease before It had obtained lodgment
in the little chlld's system.
Children require more careful attention
than adults. They are In the formative
period. The slightest influence affects un-
pleasantly, and 10 is an easy matter to in-
yito disease. The fathers and mothers OF
America need not only TO be very careful
OF these things, but to see to II that the
child is helped and strengthened by those
means which have been proven purest and
best. Probably nothing of modern times
has shown so much efficiency In this direc.
tlon as the wonderful Volina Cordial, which
is attracting so much attention in all the
leading cities Of the land, and is being
taihtu uDOuJ 81 ReucIulll' lHc uutuIc Ol
the Remedy itself, however, is such that 1t
is unusually adapted for the stomachs of
children, while It Is none the less valuable
when used by the fathers and mothers. 1t
Is these qualities which are making 1t 80
popular, and 1t is these qualities which are
destined to make It the most popular medi-
cine Of modern times.
Any parent who willfully or carelessly
neglccts the slightest symptoms Of disorder
In his or her child Is crminally responsible
for the sickness or death OF that child
should such melancholy event occur. We
are compelled to believe that where such
neglect does occur, II is thoughtlessness,
but the results are none the less disastrous.
and there are thousands OF homes in
America to-day that mourn the loss of de-
parted children which might be made Joy
Gus and happy by their presence had the
parents ouly exercised the proper procau.
'ion and care. Such facts should come as q
warning to all parents aud cause them to
not only guard ttelr own health, but to ex-
ercse greatest care over the health and
lives of the little dependent creatures, who
can not exercise such care over themselves.

Captain Cunningham Assaulted.

Captain A. p. Cunningham, who generally
has charge Of firing the Republican salutes
in this city, and who gained quite reputa-
tion for his celebration OF Senator Logan's
reelection, was murderously assaulted
about II O'Clock last night on the Avenue,
near Second street. Mr.. Cunningham was
on an Avenue car talking politics from a
Republican standpoint to friend. He got
of the car at this point, and was immedi.
ately felled with black jack He was then
struck with a loaded cane. The man who
first struck him, according to his statement,
got off the car as he did. There were
others who then joined in the assault. The
police arrived and arrested Cunningham
and Emmett Woodward for an affray. In
the Police Court to-day Woodward was
charged with assault aud forfeited $40 col
lateral. Cunningham was saturated with
blood. The Court deemed $40 inadequate
for the assault, and issued an attachment
for Woodward.

How some of our public men dress
was noticed by reporter of the New
York Mail and Express on occasion of
Mr.. Arthur's funeral, and here are
some of his pencilings: Secretary
Whitney's central point of observation
to stranger is the eyeglasses perched
upon his nose. His attire is simply
faultless and does great credit to an
Administration where some Of the
Cabinet members refuse to recognize
the conventional clawhammer coat
Secretary Endicott hasn't the ultra
style of Secretary Whitney, but he
wears rich goods in dark shades. He
outshines his confrere, Lamar, but
that does not make him a fashion plate,
Secretary Lamar has an immense
beard that detracts greatly from any
critical notice of his dress. In New
York he wears shining beaver hat aud
aheayy Newmarket overcoat. Secretary
Bayard likes to wear cutaway coat,
as does Senator German, but on funeral
occasions he dons the conventional
long tail black. Senator M. G. Butler
has Partisan cut about his apparel.

OF many millions, would be taken for Il
