Of failing health, whether in the form of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a
sense of General WEAKNESS and Loss of
Appetite, should suggest the use OF
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfeebled system, pro-
noting the digestion and assimilation Of
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalizing the blood.

GERMAN NOTES,

BERLIN, October S.-The North German
Gazette denies the report that the govern
ment intended to replace the military Sc B.
tenate by another arrangement for deter
mining the strength of the army. The Ga
zette says nothing in that direction has
ever been considered.
The appeal of the socialists, Amer, Bebel
and other against the sentence OF the court
at Freiburg. comes before the court of ap-
peal at Leipsic on October 1Ith. If that
tribunal should confirm the sentences six
OF the condemned, who are members Of the
Reichstag, will be unable to appear at the
next session, their term Of imprisonment
covering nine months.
The estimates OF the Prussan Ministry
OF Finance show the budget OF 1886 clos
ing with deficit.
Railway receipts have increased over
those OF the preceding year, but the income
from most OF the taxes is notably below
the budget calculations.

A Cure for Drunken Husbands.

Mrs. Thomas Dollard, of Mcdonald, Pa,
has found a new method OF reforming
drunken husbands. Her plan is to pour
them. Mrs. Dollard tried this on her own
husband last we-k, and we now have to
refer to him as the late Mr.. Dollard. We
can recommend her method only for its ei-
fectiveness. An inebriated husband lasts
about two minutes and half after the oil
can is found. Some people will maiutain
that this is quicker work than the exigen-
cies OF the case demand, but that is u
question which is open for discussion. We
do nut propose to go into it. We have
done our duty when we advise husbands to
take out fire insurance on their lives.-Cin-

A story is going the rounds OF the Euro
pean diplomatic circles relating to one of
our present represent atives OF high rank in
the far east. AT dinoer given by a prom
inent native official, at which the whole
diplomatic corps was present, the American
minister was seated by the side OF the
French ambassador, who often addressed
his American colleague after the usual
French manner as monsieur. This did not
please the temper nor suit the dignity OF
the Gentleman OF the eagle country. and he
stood the supposed undue familiarity on
the part OF the Frenchman until his patti
ence became quite exhausted, and then his
pent-up indignation burst forth in words
more characteristic for strength than ele.
gance, and as reported in about this strain:

Enough Is as Good as 3 Feast.

Our neighbor, the Tribune, remarks that
whereas, before the ports OF Japan were
opened to the Christian nations of the
world, there were only eleven Intoxicating
drinks in the country, now there are more
than 200, which is, of course, deplorabIe.
And yet it should be noted that an ambi-
tious man, by adroitly combining eleven
intoxicants, could bring himself to a state
where 1S9 additional beverages would not
pcrceptibly affect him. In the matter OF
intoxicants enough is as good as a FEAST

Why Engle Became a Socialist and

CHICAGO, October S.-The crowds which
beseiged the Criminal Court this morning
for admittance to Judge Garys court
room was larger and earlier than at any
time during the anarchists trial. The
speeches which the condemned men are
making in their own behalf and the fact
that the date OF their execution is to be
given to-day being responsible for this.
Only small portion OF those who sought
admission were successful. When court
was opened George Engle, one of the de-
fendants, at once began a s:eech. Engle
recounted his experiences in Germany,
where he was born, and recited his hard
ships and the tyrannies his people were
forced to submit to there. He came to
this country and sought work in Philadel-
phia and Chicago and found the same state
of affairs existing. Capitalists became rich
by their expressions OF the working classes.
Engle then made study OF the question.
He read Henry Georges books and became
