THE wasting diseases OF infants and
children are by no means confined to
an insufficient supply of food. The
trouble is that the food is injudicious-
ly selected, and the limited dig stive
power OF The child is unable to as
simulate it. Mellin's food, when pre-
pared according to the directions,
forms the best substitute for mothers
milk that has ever been pro iuced.
ELY's CREAM BALM wasrs commend
ed to me by my DRUGGIST as a preventa.
tive TO hay fever. Have been using it
as direc ed since the 8, h of August and
have found it specific for that much
eaded and loathsome disease. For
ten years or more have been a great
sufferer each year, from August 9th
till frost, aud have tried many alleged
remedies for its cure, but Ely's Cream
Balm is the only preventative l have
ever found, Hav fever sufferers ought
to know of its efficacy.

The Chairman and secretary of the Republican, Territorial Central Com mittee are usurping their power by not calling meeting of the Committee or acting on the suggestions they have al ready received from the Committee. Their action is unprecedented and should be condemned by all republicans. We are a, member of that Committee and also square, fiat footed republican, and we would like to hear from other members as to their feelings. Chairman Street we have always supposed to be an honest republican who would not stoop to dirty action in his political position, but we can see no explainable reason for his delay in action. We would suggest that the Republican TerritoriaI Central Committee meet at Tucson on the L5th day of August and take some action in regard to the call ingof a convention

Yesterday morning, when she visited the pantry to get some eggs for breakfast, To and behold, five little chickens were chirping in the basket, which led to the conclusion that the whole purchase might be in a state of incubation. The little fellows were taken from the basket and cared for. Yesterday four more were added to the flock from the basket, and to- day, it is expected that the entire two dozen of eggs will be running about Star.

A curious movement has started in Martingsburg, West Virginia, for the nomination of Logan and Powderly for President and Vice President in 1888. This ticket has been put in the fald by an Assembly of Knights of of Labor at that place. AS General a1vgarI rs q IVoPuo1i7osrr vsrIti A.,- -Ie,- derly a Democrat, they could hardly be candidates together under existing party organizations. There would have to be now labor party to take them both in; and, while they would orna- ment. such body, there in no reason to suppose that General Logan, at least, is dissatisfied with his present associa- tes. The Republican party bids. fair to last for some time yet, and while it lasts it is safe to predict that it will contain Logan.

The widow of General Hencock is very properly to receive a pension of S2,O0O.00 per annum. But the presi- dent very inconsistently says that the widow of General Hunter, who was certainly as brave a general as was Hancock, shall not have a pension of $500 per annum. This is a case wherein there is distinction with out ditference-the difference being found in the fact that Hancock was a Democract, and Hunter-unfortuna- tely for Ais peer widow, was Repu blican. -Ex.

INTERESTING TO LADIES.

Our lady readers can hardly fail to have their attention called this week to the latest combination of improve ments in that most useful of all domes- tic implements, the Sewing machine. :"
 As we understand 1t, machine for family use should meet first of all these requirements: It should be simple in it's mechanism; 1t should run easily: 1t should do a wide range of work; it should be as nearly noiseless as possi- ble; it should be light, handsome, dura- ble and as cheap as is consistent with excellence throughout.
 These conditions the "Light-Run- ming New Home" certainly meets. It has also several very important and useful attachments and motions" of its own, which % far to make good it's claims to popular favor.
 The "New Home" specially recon mends itself to purchasers on account of it's superior mechanical construction, ease of management and reasonable price. Over half million have been sold in the last three years, all of which are giving universal satisfaction. This unrivalled machine is manufactured by the NEW HOME SEWING MAI CHINE CO.,, Orange, Mass, and 30 Union Square, New York.

The death of Hubert O. Thompson
 removes man who for his years and
 his opportunities scored a great sue
 cess in New York City politics. He
 gained popularity by his fight against
 John Kelly, and as he had already
 made host of friends among polite
 ians of all parties, he suddenly found
 himself the leader of formidable fol
 lowing called the County Democracy,
 and ably to demand a portion of the spells of office for his association. Thompson was not reformer, except in name, but his administration of the important office of Commissioner of Public Works, was not attended by any scandals. He enjoyed life, and a few years, of prosperity gave him a portly figure, which was the delight of the caricaturists. He probably short ened his life by high ivizg. He was a fine example of the benefits of court esy in politics, for 1t is safe to say that without his tact and unvarying good nature he would never have risen above a minor place in New York. He was without principle, and he re- garded public office as a convenient means of making an easy living.
