CRIMINAL CARELEssNEss.


"He that provideth not for his own fam
ily, and especially they of his own house.
hold. hath denied the faith, and is worse
than an Infidel."
This sentence is from the Bible. but the
sad fact remains that there are few families
in America to-day that are well provided
for. This does not arise wholly from will
fitness, but far too often from carelessness
or neglect. The head of the household may
provide mater al things in abundance, may
try to anticipate the slightest want OF every
member of the household, and yet come
very far short of his duty. The slightest
physical trouble in any home should always
be hailed with alarm instead of being looked
upon with indifference, as Is the case IN TOO
many instances; even more than this, IL
should be the duty of the head of the family
to provide against the slightest trouble, by
fortifying the constitution Of the wife and
children. so that physical pain and weakness
will have poor reception when they come.
But the reader may ask, How can one
with numerous cares and duties properly do
thisp" By using those things which have
been proven to be the best for sustaining
life and renewing energy. Bytaking advan-
taee Of any new and valuable discovery
which can tend to this end. There has pro.
badly been no production which has reward
ed the care and study of the chemist, which
is 80 valuable as the wonderful Volina Cor
dial. 1t is the result of the best thought,
the most careful compounding OF recent
years, and the wonderful popularity 1t 10
achieving, shows the remarkable qualities 1t
possesses. For arousing the energy and
vigor of the head OF the family Wen he is
careworn and weak; for sustaining the
strength of the mother in her manifold du-
ties, and for developing the powers OF the
child when it is puny and ailing there Is alb
solutely nothing known to modern science
or physics, that can equal Volna Cordial.
It is not surprising that the knowledge
Of these facts has had such au effect as 1t
has, in America, during the past few months.
Few houses in the leading Cities can be
found that do not contain this Remedy as
household article, and it is rapidly finding
its way into the more interior towns, and
even into the country. These facts are sig
nifcant and show that there is tendency
on the part of the people of this land, to ac-
cept that which has unqueStioned merit and
power, and use it where its influence can be

COUNTY JUDGE PENDEGRAsT. Of Chi.
csgo, has formally recognized the new
labor party by the appointment OF Lu'e
Coyne. member of the new third
estate, as one Of the commissioners
under the new election law. This is u
favor not shown to any political party
hitherto outside Of the old national par
ties, and the innovation is regarded as
showing that the new departure is
considered as much more important
move politically than the greenback or
prohibition movements were. The new
labor party will form one of the most
puzzling factors in the political situation
in 1888 that politicians will have to deal
with. 1t can be put down as strongly
snti-republican to start with. Beyond
this fact not much can be said at present.

to the depth of six inches; at Harrisburg
the snow was fifteen inches deep last

snow fell in sufficient quantities TO cover

so that trains have been delayed hours
beyond schedule time; horse cars and
railway trains have been blocked in
southern Tennessee, and yet the winter
