Causes of Nervous IrritabiIity.

A prominent physician is quoted as
saying: ''Were to give my true rea-
sons at the root OF the growing infe-
riority, nervous irr1tabllity and insan-
ity, which are sapping the vigor of the
time, they would be two things-the
want Of proper food by all classes and
the sedentary training. or want OF
training, among young people" There
is a good deal to be said in favor of the
military training of Prussia. for our
own boys nowhere get better phys
lque than at West Point; but the old
style, which is yet the very common
style. of education involves our young
people In sedentary habits. We are a
nation of sltters, and not of walkers.

The Girl He LCved.

Mrs. Crowell was the most disliked
person in the boarding house, and had
not a friend in the place. Perhaps
that was one reason little Molly HOl-
den, who worked all day in an Office,
took pity on the old lady and read to
her and received very little gratitude
for her attentions.
Young Phil Johnson, who boarded
in the house, and was an open admirer
of Miss Molly, hated Mrs. Crowell cor
daily, because she always wanted that
Young lady to read to her whenever he
had an evening of.
One night he asked Molly to go to
the theatre.
"To-nlght?" she replied, her bright
face clouding over. 81 would like TO
go so much, but l can't"
"Not Mrs. Crowell again, surely?''

where no more in joy or sadness

Leaving labyrintLiue trace

A.ths phantom shadows chase them
Attle dawn, aud end of day.
And across the moss-grovn door-stone
Come no more the welcome guests,

Following their slOw-paced quests
The old door on rusty hinges
sends n muilled, angry sigh,
Forth O. chill who e'er would enter
And the timid hurry by.
Suukeu beds Of old-time flowers
Nourish but the careless seeds,
S0wu uy winds of spring or autumn,
From tse rank, luXuriant weeds.
All the fields around lie fallow.
And the orchards tanSle eel gloom,
Holds amid its uupruned branches
Little OF tie bud or bloom.
Even birds love not the silence,
For the old homes charm has fled,
And It's history is ended;
AL who loved il once are dead.

HarrisOn's Kind Heart.

General Harrison is, of course,
member of the Grand Army of the
Republic and e the Loyal Legion.
There are hundreds of old soldiers
in Indianapolis and scattered through
the State who fought in his brigade
and who remember well his bravery,
his care for his men and his unselfish
patriotism, If one meets one.
armed veteran in the street here the
simplest questions will call out
eulogy of Harrison. The old SOL
diers remember him viyidly for his
tenacious care for their rights. When
he was colonel he saw to it that his
regiment received all the allowances
of every kind to which it was enti-
tied, and when he led brigade every
soldier felt that he had friend iE
his commander, strict discipinarian
though he was.
An old soldier whom / met quite
by accident in a hotel here told me
this anecdote: I'm the battle of
Peach Tree Creek. one of the fights
before Atlanta, the surgeon of Harri.
sons brigade was lost. No one knew
where he was, but he had disappear
ed. My recollection is that in the
rapidly changing movements the
surgeon and his assistants had be-
come tangled with another brigade,
and were 80 overwhelmed with duty
that they couldn't get back to their
own command. However that may
be, when the fight was over our field
hospital was full of wounded, and
there was no one to attend them.
"The general threw off his coat,
tore his own tent into strips, and
went about bandaging wounds. He
even tore his shirt off his back and
used it up in bandaging the boys
wounds. When surgical help ar
rived l remember what sight the
general was. Both his arms were
bare, and they were covered with
blood from shoulders to finger tips.
The men most fond of the general
are the men who know him best"
That is the pithy sentence in which
one of his oldest friends here sums up
his opinion of General Harrison's
personal character, - Philadelphia
Press.

The following Democrats, well
known in their respective localities
in Pennsylvania, have announced
their intention to sustain Harrison
and the cause of protection in this
campaign:
Gen. A. l.. Pearson. of Allegheny
county.
Hon. Orange Noble. of Erie. once
Democratic candidate for state
treasurer.
Judge Handy, of Lackawanna, a
lifelong Democrat.
Ex-Mayor Forwood, of Chester,

cry county, president of the National
Bank of NorristQwn. and former can

Frank Heath, of Erie county, for
mer candidate for the legislature.

John w. Hindemarch, of Wash

of that county.
George H. Myers, of Northampton
county, former Burgess of Bethle-
hem.
This is only a partial list of the
large number of Democrats in Penn
sylvania, of local reputation and in
fluence. who have within the past
two weeks been announcing them
selves at Harrison men because they
cannot stand the free trade doctrines
of the President; and each one of
them means either scores or hundreds
of followers.

The Democratic candidate for Vice
President is celebrated chiefly for
carrying a bandanna handkerchief
The reason he carried red one was
that he was slave to the filthy
and, thank God, now antiquated-
snuff habit, and white one was soon
soiled - the dark one Kept down
laundry bills. and did not show its
uncleanliness either. The real use
of Thurman's red handkerchief then,
was as snuff rag. The wearing of
the bandana now is simply remin-
der that one of the National Demo-
cratic candsdates was so weak mind
ed that, along with so many other
old grand-mothers of the land he did
not have the manly will power to
break away from a habit so filthy
and disgusting to all refined people.
Will Democracy advocate, along
with the bandana, the compulsory
use of snuff ? There is no use for the
bandana, you know, without the
snuff. This would be about as reas-
enable as some other issues Democ-
racy has been and is advocating

Five Reasons.

The New York Tribune gives the
following five excellent reasons why
a man should be a Republican
1. Because there is everything in
the record of the Republican party
of which he may be proud. end moth
ing of which he will need to be
ashamed. 1t saved the Union, eman-
cipated the slaves, restored specie
payments ana reduced the National
debt one half. Unlike the Demo-
cratic party, it has never been in ALI
ance with slave owners and the rum
power it never pronounced the war
for the Union failure and sued for a
craven peace and it has never al
layed itself against the principles of
honest finance and National honor.
2. Because Republicanism does
not stand for the suppression of a
single Democratic vote in any state
or the Union. Tn every Republican
State Democrats are free to vote as
they please. and their ballots are
counted as they are cast. Democracy
stands for the suppression of Repub-
lican votes by intimidation, crime
and fraud in every State formerly in
rebellion.
8. Because the Republican party
in its tariff legislation laid the foun-
dations of a national prosperity unex-
ampled in modern times, and defends
the cause of American industry to
day against the combined attack of
English manufacturers and the free.
trade Democracy. The Solid South
in the Confederate Constitution pro-
nounced for free-trade precisely as
the party of Buchanan, Brecken-
ridge and Douglas had done before
the war, and as the party of Tilden.
Hancock and Cleveland has done
since. Republicanism is the cause of
industrial independence.
4. Because the Republican party is
American in its sympathies and its
policy, believes in governing and
developing America for the benefit
of Americans, and would neither or
der its tariff policy for the accommo-
dation and profit of foreigners, nor
lower the country in the estimation
of the world by surrendering Ameri-
can rights or compromising Ameri-
can honor through pusilanimous di-
plomacy, The Democratic party is
equally un-American in its foreign
and its domestic policy.
5. Because the Republican party is
recruited from the more intelligent
and progressive elements of Ameri-
can population. and is the organiza-
tion in which all friends of Civil
Service Reform, practical temperance
legislation. or of any other move
ment in the direction of good govern
I ment naturally belong. The Demo,
cratic party is not hospitable to any
real reform in government, as the
Civil Service Reformers have learned
| to their shame.

They Won't Bet.

Cleveland Leader.
The betting offers on Cleveland
seem to have been all wind. A few
New York Republicans made up
purse of $4,000, and sent a man
around to find the fellows who wan
ted to bet two to one on Cleveland
They were non est. The individuals
who were said to be ready to put up
their money could not be found. A
New York dispatch, speaking on the
subject says:
"H. NJ. Cooper, of Arkansas, who
was here in attendance on the Re-
publican National Committee meet
iEg, said to-day: Il have tried for a
week to get some of that two-for-one
money on Cleveland. The nearest /
got to it was a fellow in the Hoffman
House, who wanted to put up $50 for
felt on bet of 81 900, to $500. My
reply was that / was ready to put
up or shut up and that knew all
about the forfeit scheme. Naturally
in trying to get bets, l ran in among
a number of old sporting men. One
of the wiliest and shrewdest betting
men in the lot said to me: "A man
would be fool to lay odds seriously
on Cleveland. The situation scarcely
warrants even betting. The Repub-
licans have PLAYED their cards 80 that
they have only one state to carry,
with New York, New Jersey, Con-
necticut, North Carolina, Florida,
Virginia, West Virginia and Ten
nessee to make it from. Cleveland
must carry every one of these, while
Harrison needs only one.'"

cratic party that they may defeat
