representative character, at the Cooper
Union, renominated Hon. A. S. Hewitt for
mayor. Hundreds of leading citizens were
present A republican, jacob d. Vermilye,
president of the Merchants bank, presided,
and in his address declared that party lines
should disappear in the presence of a great
opportunity to confer a boon upon the whole
people by continuing Mr.. Hewitt in the
mayoralty. These sentiments were re-
echoed by the other speakers,
democratic and republican alike. James

government from party politics. He showed

in the speeches were adopted. A letter was
read from Rev. Howard Crosby, who was
unable to be present, stating that he had op-

but was glad to confess his mistake and to
join in urging his denomination. An inter-

MOlHes In France

Tho talk Of wolves in France seems
absurd--a country that has been settled
for 2, 900 years and has a population OF
100 to tho square mile. Yet In several
of the departments Tor counties, as wo
would call them)--notably In tho de.
partment OF Yonnc, in tho heart OF
France-the wolves are extremely bold
aud enterprising. Two troopers oae

suddenly upon hugo wolf that, with
out the slightest hesitation, spran g
upon the nearest horse. The soldiers
dismounted and drew their sabers, ex-
pecting the wolf to turn tail, but no

years old he was bound out TO learn the shoe

but he did not complain. He had an ambition
TO be master of his trade; he worked hard and

money by hard work at the bench he began to
manufacture shoes at Brockton. Mas, July o,
1876 His knowledge of the business gave him
q great advantage over his competitors. he
worked hard and saved his money: his bust

yertising w. l.. Douglas So Shoe He has since
added several other kinds. which he describes
in his advertisement that appears in this paper

"p0OT0RINa OLD TINE
A striking Pietuys--A Revival Of OIL

In one OF Harper's issues is given q very
fine illustration OF Roberts's celebrated paint
ing known as "Doctoring Old Time" II
represents typical old-timer, with his bel
lows blowing the dust from an ancient
clock, with Its cords and weights carefully
secured One of these clocks in this genera
ton is appreciated only as a rare relic
The suggestive name "Doctoring Old
Time" brings TO our mind another version of
the title, used for another purpose-"Old
Time Doctoring."
We learn, through reliable source, that
one Of the enterprising proprietary medicine
firms of the country has been for years in
vestigating the formulas and medical prep
arations used in the beginning Of this CEN
fury, and even before, with view Of ascer-
taihing why people in our great grandfathers'
time enjoyed q health and physical vigor so
now think they have secured the secret or
secrets. They find that the prevailing opinion
that then existed, that Mature has remedy
for every existing disorder was true, and
acting under this belief, our grandparents
used the common herbs and plants. Con-
tinual trespass upon the forest domain has
made these herbs less abundant aud has driven
have been discarded as remedial agents be-
cause of the difficulty of obtaining them.
II. II. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner OBJ
servatory, Rochester, N. Y, has been press
ing investigations in this direction, into the
annals of old family histories until he has
secured some very valuable formulas, from
which his firm is now preparing medicines,
TO be sold by all druggists.
They will, we learn, be known under the
general title of warmers Log Cabin rem
edies." Among those medicines will be
"sarsaparila,r for the blood and liver, LOG
Cabin hops and buchu remedy" for the
stomach, etc, LOG Cabin cough and con-
sumption remedy" LOG Cabin hair tonic"
"Log Cabin extract for internal and ex-
ternal use, and an old valuable discovery for
catarrh, called LOG Cabin rose cream
Among the list is also clog Cabin Plaster"
anil "Log Cabin liver pill"
From the number of remedies, it will be
seen that they do not propose to cure all
diseases with one preparation. 1t is believed
by many that with these remedies n new era
is to dawn upon suffering humanity and that
the close Of the nineteenth century will see
these roots and herbs as compounded under
the title of Warmers Log Cabin remedies, as
| popular as they were at its beginning
Although they come in the form Of
| proprietary medicines, yet they will be
none the less welcome, for suffer
ing humanity has become tired Of
modern doctoring and the public
by the firm of which H. H. Warner is the
head. The people have become suspicious Of
the effects OF doctoring with poisonous drugs.
Few realize the injurious effects following
the prescriptions of many modern physicians.
These effects of poisonous drugs, already
prominent, will become more pronounced in
coming generations Therefore we can cor
daily wish the old fashioned new remedies
the best Of success.

Already the export of apples to
foreign countries has reached large pro-
portions, and is destined to increase
rapidly. More than 600, 600 barrels
were shipped last year, Great Britain
being the principal customer. This was
a decrease Of more than 200, 900 barrels
from the previous year, owing to scarcity
in the crop of 1887. Intelligent
orchardists in the Eastern and Northern
States should keep the foreign markets
in mind when making selections for
