Dictates, are black in color, with bodies
sparsely covered with fine hair. They lave
small. stocky heads. short noses, and are
heavily jowled the necks are short, the
legs, which are well set uiider compact,
closely made bodies, are short and strong.
The skin is thin and fine. In shoulder and

these are the most desirable parts of q pig,
this breed is valuable one. They sr@
hardy, faJten very readily and can be ms {

CHEAPENING ELECTRIC LIGHT SER
VEGA patent was issued on Tuesday
to George Westinghouse, Jr., of Pitts
burg, Pa, inventor Of the Westinghouse
air-brake, for q new system of distributing
electricity to be used in lighting and for
other purposes a system which, it is said,
will greatly cheaper the electric light and
render it a more dangerous foe of illumi-
mating gas than it has yet become. The
new invention will it is alleged, effect q
saving of about 95per cent. in the distrib-
uting main wires as compared with the
Edison three wire system" In tests of
the invention a single main circuit of
wire less than quarter of an inch in
diameter carried the current for $50 six
teen candle power incandescent lights. all
situated at distance of three miles from
the dynamo. The invent tor claims that to
light this number of lamps at an equal dis
tanoe the Edison system would require
frana $40 kct 100 wires of the same size. .

Instructive Contrast.

MIR. Blaine, in one of his speeches in
Pennsylvania, last week, drew the follow.
ing contrast between the results of the Pro.
tective and Free Trade policies, as illus
trated in the progress of two of the great
est nations of the earth, and both English
speaking
The most prosperous, advanced, intelli-
gent, and powerful free trade country
IN the world is Great Britain. The coun-
Try which stands most prominent, most
powerful, most intelligent under the pro-
| lection policy is the United States.
! Twenty-Five years ago the United States
| adopted the still-existing policy.
| At that time the wealth Of Great Brit
ian was twice as great as that of the
| United States. we have now run the
race with free trade Great Britain for a
quarter OF century, and the wealth of
that nation is not now estimated as double
that OF this country. It is not even equal
to ours. The Wealth of the United States
to day exceeds that of Great Britain by
10000, 100000. [Cheers. If the free trade
policy which the democratic party under
southern lead had imposed upon the
United States, and which was changed by
the election of Abraham Lincoln, had
continued, does any man suppose we
should have oyertaken Great Britain in
the race for development and empire /?
Take the rate of wages paid here for labor
OF all kinds, skilled and unskilled, through
out that quarter of century and compare
1t with that paid in Great Britain, and
you will find that it is from IS to even 100
per cent greater, taking the average for
the whole period. Take ireland, which
being part of and subject to the laws Of
the British empire, is under the domina-
ton of free trade. Suppose that by some
miraculous agency that island was placed
as near to the coast of the United States
as it is now to the coast Of Great Brit
ain, what do you suppose would be the
condition of that most fertile portion of
Europe in the course of twenty five years ?
I ask those of this audience who were
born on Irish SOIL and there are probably
many of them, what would be the condi-
tion of the land of their nativity if it was
blessed as their adopted land is blessed by
a policy of protection for it's industries
and governmental establishment to Sc
cure it.

american of Wednesday quotes a

saying that syndicate has been
formed, consisting of Mr.. German, ex-
Senator Davis, of West Virginia, and
Others interested in coal mines in
West Virginia, the object of which is
to get possession of the Chesapeake &
Ohio canal, in order that they may
extend the West Virginia Central Rail-
road and connect with the coal mines
in Western Virginia, and in this way
to transport their products to an cas-
tern market. The plan is to have the

No true excuse can ever properly be
offered for the crime of lynching in a
civilized community, though there
are often circumstances attending such
violents deed which make it easy to
understand how it was that the pas
sions Of the people got the better of
their Judgment, and hurried them on
to take the execution of Justice into
their own hands without waiting for
the action of the regularly appointed
courts of law. Smaller blame might,
perhaps, attach, for example, when a
man known to have committed some
shameful and peculiarly horrible
crime is at once hanged by the enraged
people before he has beenapprehended
by the legal authorities but the mob
at Martinsburg had nothing of this
sort to plead in their excuse. The
man Burns whom they lynched yes
terday had been arrested three weeks
ago, and was in Jail awaiting trial.
There does not seem to have been any
reason to apprehend that full justice
would not have been melted out to
him by the legal authorities but, at
any rate their action should have been
awaited patiently. This lynching was
clearly another crime for which there
can be found no palliation.-Americd

Not symptoms, but the disease

IT would seem to be truth appreciable by
all, and especially by professors of the healing
art that to remove the disease, not to alleviate
its symptoms, should be the chief aim of med
ication. Yet in how many instances do we
see this truth admitted in theory, ignored in
practice. The reason that Hostetters Stom-
aeh Filters is successful in so many cases, with
which remedies previously tried were mad
equate to cope. is attributable to the fact that
it ID medicine which reaches and removes
the causes of the various maladies to which 1t
is adapted. Indigestion, fever and ague liver
bowels, urinary affections and other maladies
are not palliated merely, but rooted ont by it.
1t goes to the fountain head. 1t is really. NOT
normally, radical remedy. and it endows
the system with an amount of vieor which is
lis best protection against disease.

POETRY.
THE BROKEN CHORDS.

Love one day. in wanton mood,
On the harp of life was playing
Carelessly his dimpled hands
Ger the sweetest chords were straying-
Sudden burst the strings asunder,
Love looked smiling down in wonder
Finding he no more could play,
Laughed and flung the wreck away.
Sorrow caught it as it fell,
Closely to her bosom pressed it
Moaning DER the broken strings,
She with trembling touch caressed it
So with sad caresses and singing,
All the music from it dying
Cold and mute it grew at last,
Sorrow held it close and fast.
Hope in passing turned aside,
Hope, and as her fair hands fingered
Ger the strings sweet music swelled
From the chords SO softly fingered.
Meath her tender touch, life-giving,
Broken strings grew warm and living
Throbbed with songs of sweetest strain
Hope awoke new life again.
