POCKETS.

Who cannot remember their first pocket? There
is delightful sensation of acquisitiveness and in
divduality that instnctivey springs up in the
human breast on the possession of this very desir-
able article It is always destined to form not
unimportant part in the happiness of its owner
In fact there is popular impression to the effect
that happiness depends very materially upon it,
but the philosophical mind regards it as very
unstable foundation.
Women never have pocket they went out OF
style years agone. Congress never interfered in
the matter of the adjustment Of the feminine
pocket, eaS tilsrashesc reia&ner eevernas lintesi
at the desirability of even lessening the absurd
number of this masculine heritage.
No doubt about it, woman has been steadily
retrograding since she relinquished her title to
this highly convenient affair." but in the mass OF
drapery and the paraphernalia of straps, hoops,
cushions, and so on, into which she has of late
years been harnessed the pocket became super
fluffy from its very unreachable nature and was
in due time banished.
When you see woman with pocket, you may
depend upon it she is self-assertive and has within
her, if not apparent, a slumbering spirit OF indie
pendence that will rise up and make itself heard
when the occasion demands.
The woman in the street car who lets her COM
panion paw her own fare has no pocket of her own.
She may think she has as she produces her purse
from the folds of her gown, but the receptacle IS
only an L of her husbands pocket Little straws
of this kind have won for woman the reputation OF
being more mercenary than men. Did you ever
notice dozen or more men sit calmly by while
one man pays the car fare? Yet when two women
enter the car there at once ensues heated discus
sion on which one shall pay, and the one who en-
cages the most speed earns the honor of bestowng
the compliment. This all comes of woman hay-
ing no individual pocket; and if ever again they
become the fashion she will then have chance to
refute the libel.
What imagination can measure the length,
breadth and depth of boys pocket? AT what
stage does its capacity cry out against its burden
Is there not always room for one thing moreF

TO THE FARMERS.

Senator Miller, in the course of his ad-
dress at Angelica, n. Y, recently, said:
The President argues in his Free Trade
message that the farmers are injured by
the Tariff system. If it is an injury,
then away with it, for agriculture is the
foundation of our prosperity. The Pres
dent tells you that the duty on foreign
goods is added to the price of the do
mestic on the foreign articles and there
fore it is a robbery of the consumer.
How much of your products do you
think are consumed here at home? Over
90 per cent. When we had no protect
i've Tariff we had no such home market.
Now we send to Europe paltry 6 or s
per cent. of our products. We raise in
this country l 1,000,000,000 pounds of but
ter yearly, and of that only paltry 49,
100000 pounds go to Europe. The home
market has consumed it ALL Compare
the price of butter now and in 1860, be-
fore the Protective Tariff system was
adopted. Butter was sold for II cents
pound. Now you can get 20 and 25
cents pound. Then the Democrats
say that the price of agricultural imple-
mentS will be lower. Why, we make
agricultural implements so low in price
now that we are selling them in England
and all over Europe. You get 100 per
cent. more for your farm products than
you did in 1860, and the prices of
manufactured products are fifty per
cent. less than they were then. Why
Democrats should have put wool on
the free list L am puzzled to under
stand. The President says that the high
tariff does not benefit the working classes.
that they have to pay tax on every
thing they buy, which loses them the
advantage of their own high wages.
The Protective Tariff has led to an i'm
provement of the breed of sheep and of
the quality of wool. Our mutton is as
good as that of England. Break down
the tariff and you will destroy the finer
grades of sheep. How much wool goes
into suit of clothes? In heavy suit
not over z pounds, worth $40. Now,
therefore, your suit would cost you that
much more, but if you have 50 sheep
your loss by the abolition of the duty on
wool would be $50. Therefore, to save
S1.4O, you would lose $50. l can't see
the profit of that. Applause and laugh
ter. Moreover, everything we consume
on the table, with the exception of sugar,
is cheaper than in Europe. Our labor
ing men have meat twice day. The
laboring man in Europe who should
have meat twice a day would think him
self an aristocrat.

HELPING THE RIGHT SIDE.

hELH1NG 1t1E RIGHT SIDE.
To help the right side is not only COM
mendable in general point of view, but
is judicious and prudent when that help
is enlisted in behalf of the right side of
the body, just over the lower ribs in the
region of the liver. The most efficient
help is afforded by Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, an anti-bilious medicine of in
comparable efficacy. Inaction of the
liver is accompanied by constipation, sick
headache, furred tongue, nausea, Occa-
sional vertigo, an unpleasant breath, yel-
lowness of the skin and ball of the eye.
The author of these symptoms, liver COM
plant, routed by the bitters is accompan-
led by them in its flight. Fever and ague,
which always involves the liver, dyspep-
sia, rheumatism, debility and kidney
troubles are all maladies to the early re-
lief and final cure of which this standard
medicine is adapted. Don't use it by fits
and starts, but Systematically, that its
full effects may result in perfect res
tOration of health. 80 I'm.

TOWNSEND'S TRUSTS

DOING A BIG BUSINESS THROUGH POSTAL
AGENCIES OF THE GOVERNMENT.
Ohio State Journal.
Chairman Townsend has his secretary
edit The Tar Reform AdoooGte, while he
sends out letters to the postmasters,who
are not only asked to circulate the docu-
ment. but to contribute, as shown by
the following:
My DEAR -PreSuming that you
would like to understand the situation
in Ohio at this juncture, write to you
in stTictest confidence on the outlook. On
a recent trip to New Y ork and Washing
ton we were deeply impressed with the
necessity of making an intense and Wig
orous fight in Ohio. Information fIOm
high authority conyinces us that the
greatest struggle eUer made IN american
politics will be fought on HOOsier soil.
The plan of the opposition is to cOtOlsize
every possible vote from Ohio IN Indt-
ana. Those high in the counsels of the
party look to US TO check this dangerous
scheme Though hopeful of carrying the
State and placing it in the Democratic
column, our first and greatest object
should be to keep every Republican at
home. In order to do this it will compel
us to incur large expenditure of money.
To obtain this we must look in other
directions than the assessment on the
State ticket, which, as you well know,
will produce but meager sum. You
will no doubt be annoyed by requests
for donations from your local commit
tees. We sincerely regret that we are
forced to appeal TO your generosity for
our committee. The only means we have
thus far received are donations of 500
each from a few poStmasters.
Letters in the nature of demand were
sent out last year which necessarily gave
Offense to many, and few indiscreet in
dividuals gave them to the press, caus-
ing annoyance and scandal; therefore, we
hope you will give your most generous
consideration. Letters of similar char
acter have been forwarded only to those
whom we regard as the true and tried
friends of the party. Knowing how well
you appreciate the fact that your term
of office, to a certain extent, depends
upon this years results, we communicate
with you. freely, and in strict confidence.
Anxiously awaiting your early reply, l
am truly yours,
J. B. TOWNSEND, Chairman.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

RudeneSs is a social crime.
Avoid passion and excitement.
Anger manages everything badly.
Be cheerful light heart lives long.
\ good word is as soon said as an i'll
one.
The wisdom of one generation will be
folly in the next.
He who is of no use to himself is of
no use to any ole.
The road is long from the intention
to the completion.
"a good man gone wrong" is usually
bad man found it..
Truth is truth, though from an enemy
and spoken in malice.
The pursuit even of the best things
ought to be calm and tranquil.
Everything that exceeds the bounds
of moderation has an unstable founda-
ton.
Coneeit not so high a notion of any
as to be bashful and impotent in their
presence.
We ought not to Judge of mems mer-
its by their qualifications, but by the use
they make of them.
Nobody can give you wiser advice
than self; you will never err if you list
en- to your own suggestions.
Gentleman is term which does not
apply to any station, but to the heart
and the feelings in every station.
Some philosophers, in seeking for
truth, to pay homage to her, have seen
their own image and adored it instead.
The boundary of man is moderation.
When once we pass that pale our guar
dian angel quits his charge of us.
Forbearance and self-control smooth
the road of life, and open many ways
which would otherwise remain closed.
Those who are surly and imperious to
their interiors are generally humble,
flattering, and cringing to their supe-
riors.
Courtesy of temper, when it is used to
veil churlishness of deed, is but a
knights girdle around the breast of a
base clown.
The mind has a certain vegetative
power, which cannot be wholly idle. If
it is not laid out and cultivated into a
beautiful garden, it will of itself shoot
up in weeds or flowers of wild growth.

TNFANTILE SKIN DISEASES.

Our eldest child, now six years of age, when an
infant six months old was attacked with virulent,
malignant skin disease. All ordinary remedies
fai!ing,we called our family physician who attempt
ed to cure it; but it spread with almost incredible
rapdty until the lower portion of the little fell
lows person, from the middle of the back down to
ed and malicious. We had no rest at night, no
peace by day. Finally, we were advised to try the
Cuticura Remedies. The effect was simply mary
elOus. In three or four weeks complete cure was
wrought, leaving the little fellows person as white
and healthy as though he had never been attacked
In my OplnlOn your valuable remedies saved his
life, and to-day he is strong, healthy child, per-
fectly well, no repetition having ever occurred.

FEMININE FRIVOLITIES.

Flounces are seen on the newly i'm
ported gowns.
Coral and silver is popular combina-
ton in jewelry.
Hat pins headed with clusters of pol
ished silver berries are novel and pretty.
The tan. brown and bronze shades are
very popular just now, both in dress and
millinery.
Lemon and white and sea- green and
white are favorite color combinations in
evening gowns.
Ribbons are used in profusion upon
the elaborate underwear of brides and
women of means.
An old bracelet has as a setting fly
composed of turquoises struggling in
the meshes of frail gold spiders. web.
Genuine silk batiste appears this sea-
son in new and exquisite coloringS, and
is very silky and rich in appearance.
The latest novelty in ladies' jewelry is
the campaign queen chain. Surely the
cause of ''woman's rights" is advancing.
Pretty lace jackets are made of lace
f1ouncing, the scolloped edge meeting
down the front, and sometimes down
the back.
YOkes and cuffs of gold passementerie
appear among the new trimmings, and
are to be worn upon a great variety Of
dresses.
Spanish girdles of black velvet are
worn as finish with the shirred corsages
and belted corsages of white null and
lace-trimmed gowns.
Among the newest shades "dawn" is
conspicuous. This is rosy golden hue,
and it is most effective when combined
with vivid Roman red.
Moire ribbon, arranged in rows, is
taking the place of lace as a garniture
fer costumes of cream or snow-white,
albatross, yelling or crepeline.
Mitts of real lace are new, and are
favored for evening wear. They may
be procured in black, white, or pale
tintS, which match the dress.
Muslin wrappers are made so elabo-
rate this season that they resemble tea
gowns. They are frequently worn over
slips of cOlOred Surah or China silk.

ing the summer at the house of Captain
Lewis Corwin, near Sag Harbor One
evening about twilight, says a Hartford
Times writer as Mrs. Stowe was walking
alone in the garden, as is her custom
she was approached by the Captain. He
held his hat respectfully in his hand
"When l was younger" said he, 81 read
with a great deal of satisfaction and in
struction "Uncle Toms Cabin" The
story impressed me very much, and l am
happy to shake hands with Mrs. Stowe
who wrote it," 81 did not write it," re,
piled the septuagenarian, gently, as she
shook his brawny hand. "You didn't?'
calculated the Captain in amazement
"Why, who did, then?' "God wrote it. .
she replied, simply, 81 merely did His
dictation."

THIRD PARTY "IFS."

The utter impracticability of third
party Prohibition plans and purposes is
happily set forth by Albert Griffin, Chair
man of the anti-saloon Republican Ma
tional Committee, who gives the follow
inn as the Prohibition hopeless pro
gramme:-
Eve can defeat the Republican par
ty this year, by drawing from its ranks
enough jealous temperance man to ena-
BILE the saloon party to triumph; and il
the Republican party becomes so cowed
that it refuses even to kick, and straight
way gives up the ghost; and If its mem
bersprove to be devoid of human nature
and conclude to kiss the hand that smote
them; and If woman suffrage does not
prove to be ''an old man of the noun
tain" on our shoulders; and If a maiori-
ty of the people suddenly become indif-
ferent to the tariff, currency, immigra-
ton, labor, land, and other questions,
about which they now care more than
they do for anything else; or If we are
able to make the supporters of both
sides of other questions believe we favor
their views; and If enough of these an
tagonistic elements can be welded to-
gether under our leadership to constitute
a majority party, we will surely win.
And then, in that case, If our Legislators
are uniformly wise, and our officers zeal
Gus and efficient; and if no new set of
misguided enthusiasts, rejected office
seekers, cranks and marplOts are led by
our success to follow our example, and
break our party to pieces, in order to
use its fragments in the building of an
other, before we shall have done our per
feet work, we will wipe the saloons from
the face of the earth-as soon as we can
and everything will be lOyely-with us
on top.
There is not a particle of exaggeration
in the above. 1t is simply an arrange.
ment in compact form of the claims and
hopes expressed by. Prohibition leaders
and organs when driven to specify the
grounds upon which they expect to
achieve power
