and higher No Oats have been offered for sever
al days aud arc wanted Pork, poultry aud all
kinds of produce arc firm, the weather being very
favorable.

simply be streak of beautifully blended

trial of a toboggan trip down to the valley
would enable him to describe it, but he got
down there so quick that he hadn't time to
collect his thoughts. 1t was delicious, OF
course, to be sandwiched in between two
such lovely girls as those that patronize the
Orange slide, but then that wasn't what ]
was thinking of The feeling when we got
going was that We had nothing under us to
speak of, and the thought that entered my
head was the disaster that would follow if
the little there was should wear through /

this was the nearest / had approached it
since, and it brought back instantly re-
minder of old time consequences. TO de
scribe the sensation of speed is utterly i'm
possible, you simply hold your breath and
the toboggan rail and feel tho wind rushing
past, and in few moments you are there,

tiers as the present one it will not be long be-
fore each little town will boast of its own

Father, Mother, aud Three Sisters Dead.

Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., N. j., makes the following startling
statement: any father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were so weak Iraised blood. Nobody
thought could live. My work (ship-
smithins was very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition
commenced using Mishlers Herb Filters,
and it saved my life. Because it was 50
difficult to get it in this little place, and /
had improved so much, stopped taking it
for a time, and the result is that have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishler's Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and | must have
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and if any one wants
to be convinced Of its truth, let them write
me and | will make affidavit to it, for l
owe my life to Mishler's Herb Bitters."
Thesecret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhpa, dyspepsia, Indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by regular
physician; standard medicinal prepare
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists. These are four strong points in favor
of Mishler's Herb Bitters. Mishler's Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. Price 81 90

A ToRnGGAN AND SECTION.

The engraving shows how little there is to
a toGoggan after all These toboggans look
as much as possible like long, broad strips of
pastebolrd, with one end rolled upward, and
with little ratings running along the side.
Instead of being pasteboard they are made
of thin strips of hard wood. dashed together
with throngs instead of nails or screws, and
rubbed as smooth as glass underneath The
Canadians have been using them ever since
they were taught their use by the Indians,
but it remained for Us Yankees TO immedi.
ately improve on the ones handed down by
the aborigine'. This Improvement was
made at Saratoga last season, and consists
in rounding the bottom of each Stat instead
of keeping it fiat, so that it is chiefly the
lowest portion of the curve that bears on
the ice. The result is tremendous gain il
speed.
A still further Improvement was made in
the toboggan at Saratoga this season which
brought the speed up to about seventy five
miles an hour. This rate WAS found to b
too dangerous, and the use of this style o
toboggan has been forbidden. Considera BIZ
ingenuity has been brought to bear on tn
construction of slides The one in use al

New YORK, Jan. 2s.-Our Canadian neigh.
bors have long held monopoly of tho Sport
of tobogganing We We're compelled to b.
satisfied with the glowing accounts which
reached us of the exhlarating effects OF a
drop of "a few thousand feet down one OF
their celebrated slides. Last season slide
was in use at Saratoga Springs, and one in
Vermont. This winter they have been an
nounced as being in full swing at various
points the most notable one being at o. ange,

The group of Oranges. or the five villages
bearing that name, are located on an uSdu-
iating plateau, about eighteen miles west oil
New York The inhabitants are chiefly New
DIRK business men, who make it their first
duty to look after their own health and that
of their families, for which reason they
choose to live in this suburban place the
year round, rather than risk the effect on
health of the confinement of city life. For
this reason outdoor sports are cultivated ex-
tensively in Orange Then, beside, the
original settlers of the place were New
England colony, so it is not to be wondered
at that they would take kindly to any sport
that had the prestige of being popular under
the British flag. For in Orange English
manners and customs are held to a more
reverential observance than in any other
town in this country.

As 70 the dill before the House, while
reserytnR his full exprsssiou tf opinion
until he had seen the bill, Mr.. Parnen
congratulated the House on the fact
that there was still living an English

tion to this important matter, and
begged to thank Mr.. Gladstone for what
would not only prove beneficial mea-
sure from the Irish point Of view, but
which he (Mr. Paruell believed would
be found to be Of equal benefit TO Eng
land. The bill, nevertheless, oontainea
blots which the Irish Representatives
would do their best to remove. One OF
these was to be found in the financial
proposals of the bill, which he regarded
rs very unfavorable TO ireland, es'
pecially In regard to the Irish tribute
to the imperial exchequer.
He also complained OF the propo-
sition relative TO the two orders in
tended 10 constitute the irish Parlia-
ment, on the ground that the first order,
consisting of peers no: subject to the
Influence of the popular vote, would
have the power of hanging np meaf ures
demanded by the people and their repre-
sen tatives for two or three years. On
the whole, however, apart from these
defects, he believed the measure would
be cheerfully accepted by the Irish
Lpeople and their represen tative ~ O

ling dispute between the two counties,

Gladstone.

Yesterday was great day In the
English Parliament. Never within two
centuries past has the English hall OF
Parliament resounded with such elo-
auencs in favor Of liberty AZ 1t did
yesterday, when grand Mr.. Gladstone
plead for liberty and homo rule for
down trodden and oppressed Ireland.
He stood up in his majestic manhood
and appealed to neither passion NOR
prejndice, but for simple even-handed
justice to q people to whom this
| blessing had been denied. He took the
broad ground that Ireland had right
to make laws for herself, and the only
question is how to wsrk out q scheme
which will establish harmony between
Ireland, England and Scotland. Mr.
Gladstone is doing the best he can for
this purpose. Sentiment Is such in
the Kingdom that he is restricted
from going as far as he no doubt
desires to GU, but his effort to give free
dom to Ireland is q fitting capstone to
. long and fitting life. 1t is said that
his Irish bill will pass Parliament by
forty majority.
