There is one way and one way only

is to depend, as perils increase, more

trust more to local adjustment. Our
great safety, progress, permanence,

enlarged local administration. The

most controlled by homogeneous COM

Messrs. Seals Brothers, are rapidly winning
their way to the front as the leading musical
instrument dealers in the State. They car
ny handsome line of pianos and organs of

build up a fine reputation in business cir

instruments, is a credit to Birmingham.

Will BE MORE YIGILANT.

A small and united majority in
Congress can better serve the people
than a large and less harmonious
force. When party has large ma
jority in the House many of the
members are inclined too much on
the regular and prompt attendance
at the Capitol of their colleagues, and
the consequences are that the House
is often left in the hands of the oppo-
sition. Notwithstanding the large
Democratic majority in the present
House, on several occasions last win
ter the Republicans were actually in
the majority. A reduced Democrat
ic majority will require the members
to be more active and attentive to
their duties at the Capitol, to pre-
vent the opposition from asserting
itself too strongly. Certain members
were somewhat careless last winter
about their attendance, and in sever
al instances Democrats were paired
on various questions with members
OF their own party, practice seldom
if ever INDUCED in by Republicans.

who has reached the remarkable age
of LOG years, having been born on the
Sd of November 1850. She was born,
married and has lived all her life in

verified beyond question. The old
lady tells with pride that her hus-
band-built with his own hands the

lives for her to enter as a bride in

since that date she has never lived in
