A Lucky Year.

From time immemorial the year with
three Fights has bee called lucky one.
There is an old Chaldcan superstition
that year with three Fights is one of I'M
limited blessings. None but lucky stars
are in the ascendency, fields bloom with
abundant harvests the cattle are lowing
on thousand hills, shepherds lead the
fiocks through green pastures and by
still waters aud business enterprises pros
per, everything you touch turns to gold,
want and famine sulk in their hiding
places until these days of universal pros
pcrity are over.
Pestilence seals the lips and no foul
breath poisons the atmosphere, mirth
holds high carnival and for twelve moons
signing and sorrow shall fee away.
Looking back upon the year now three
quarters gone, we can truly say ii has
been a comparatively good one, although
pesiience is now walking abroad. and
signing and sorrow inevitably come In
all years and IN all lives.

A Lady Knocked Down and Run Over.
About eight O'Clock last night, while
Mrs. Andrew Denver. residing on Conduit
street, was standing on the crossing al the
corner OF Conduit aud Gloucester streets,
IN the act OF crossing TO the residence OF
Dir. Edward Powers, on the opposite cor
ner, an express wagon belonging TO
Mr.. Charles A. Crandall, and driven by
a colored man, named West, who. In his
effort 10 pass another wagon ran over the
lady and knocked her almost senseless in
the street. She was picked up by Mr..
Martin Revell and some friends who were
near by at the time and taken 10 the resi-
dence of Mr. Edward Powers, when Drs
Green and Claude were summoned. In
the meantime Mrs. Denver suffered great
pain Upon examination ii was found
that she had received a fracture on the
left leg below the knee. After making
her as comfortable as possible she was
removed 10 her residence on Conduit
street extended, where the fractured limb
was set.
Such reckless driving on the public
streets Is reprehensible and should be pro-
hibited, and an example made of the of
Tending parties. On several occasions
children 10 the same neighborhood have
come near being run over by reckless
drivers and it Is great wonder that more
are not injured than there really are
There was no excuse for the accident last
night. A lamp was on the opposite corner
where the lady was standing and the
driver, in order to pass the other wagon,
came within few feet of the pavement
where the lady was standing. who, in
falling, was knocked into the gutter.

Mr.. Roberts. Successor.

The Baltimore american of this morn
ing says: There was considerable talk
among politicians last night and about
the hotels as to who will be appointed
collector of internal revenue in place of
the late Joseph K. Roberts. Michael
Bannon, of Anne Arundel County was
spoken of, and the universal opinion was
that the place will be given to some one
from county in the Fifth congressional
district. Gen. Andrew g. Chapman was
also prominently mentioned for the place,
and, as be is now the chief clerk and
chief deputy, would be in the direct line
for promotion. Mr. BaDnon's age and
poor health are urged as reasons why he
will not be appointed, and The German
and Compton men do not want to enrage
the Wells men of Anne Arundel county
by appointing their bittersst enemy
There is very great necessity for capable
man of business in the internal revenue
office. Congressman Compton arrived al
BarnuQl's late last night, and will talk
the matter over to-day with some OF his
district friends Senator German, who il
on the deceased collectors bond and
lives in, the district, will also have a say
in the appointment. Ex-Comptroller J
Frank Turner, Of Talbat county, is also
mentioned for the place, and as the Eas
tern Shore and Delaware are now in ths
internal revenue district, and received
credit for q good administration Of thu
comptroller office, he may have some
show for the place.

The Reason Why

Ayers Pills are so popular is, that
while always reliable as a cathartic
medicine, they never leave any i'll
effects. This is because they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from Gallo
mel or any other dangerous drug. In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
be old or young, they may be conf
IDENTIFY administered.
In the Southern and Western States,
where arrangements Of the liver are so
general, Ayers Pills have proved an in
estimable blessing. d. w. Baine, New
Berne, N. c., writes:
81 suffered long time with stomach
and liver troubles. tried various rem.
edies, but received no benefit until
commenced taking Ayers Pills. These
pills benefited me at once. / took them
regularly for few months, and my
health was completely restored"
Throughout ;.New England, next to
long diseases, Stomach and Bowel
Complaints are the most prevalent.

outlined the sort of girl that young man
could safely tie up to and know that he
would meet the demands and emergencies

remarks both to prospective marriage and
the married state. He made some excel
