A NEW TRADE DEPARTURES.

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
A new commercial feature has just
been experimental with in Philadelphia,
with results that indicate the possibility
of a new departure in the methods of
seeking trade. As inaugurated by the
commercial travellers of Philadelphia, it
consisted in bringing buyers from the
West to that city, and showing them what
could be done there in the way of selling
them the best lines of goods on the most
attractive terms. The inducement was a
free excursion to Philadelphia, and the
report of the affair in the Philadelphia
papers warrents the belief that it has
been successful in extending the trade of
that city.
In the first place this idea, started by
the commercial travellers, indicates a de-
parture from the usual methods of the
drummers in seeking to make trade at
the stores of their customers, to the idea
of bringing their customers to the cen
tral market once more.

THE medical and scientific world has

THE medical and scientific world has
recently been thrown into caldrOn of
excitement by the announcement of the
alleged discovery by DR.. Brown-Sequard,
an eminent Paris physician, of the long
looked-for and phantasmal elixir OF
Life" Numerous experiments by vari-
GUS persons, have been performed
and with, in some instances, startling
results. The preparation of the social
ed "elixir" as described by DR.. VIM. A.
Hammond is comparatively simple. A
portion of the vital parts of lamb or
some other animal when freshly killed,
is put into a mortar and pounded into
pulp and then mixed with one of two
tablespoonsful of distilled water and FL
tered carefully The fluid comes through
slightly thicker than water and is pure
and limpid. The preparation is then
injected into the patient, and, where
successful, is followed by an apparently
entire rejuvenation of the person. The
lame are made to walk, the old to be-
come young, and all to be animated
with the spirit of youth. Some eminent
medical men seem to grasp it with the
spirit of entire belief in its efficacy,
while others deny that it is anything
but tonic and is followed by the same
effects as alcohol only in greater de-
gree. While perhaps it is true that
some wonderful stimulant has been dis
covered, yet it is extremely doubtful
whether it is anything more than stim-
uIant and whether it will ever come in
to general use in the practice of medi-
cine, owing to its expensiveness and the
care required and the danger attendant
upon its preparation.
While the invalid may now dream of
health and the aged of youth, yet the
true "Elixir of Life" has not been dis
covered, as it would produce an entire
renewal of the vital parts, which under
the constitution of man is impossible,
but, like the fountain of perpetual youth
of the Spanish cavalier, will ever recede
as the anxious seeker advances.

PRESERVE THE TREES.

From the New York Tribune
Russia has walked up to the fact that
the destruction of forests is having a
serious effect upon watercOurses. 1t is
noted that the Caspian Sea is perceptibly
receding, and the Indications are that in
hundred years the Aral Sea may disap-
pear altogether. The Government is dis
posed to take measures to prevent the
rapid and needless clearing of forest
lands; and when the Russian Govern
Perhaps the employment Of Russian
methods in dealing with the question of
forest preservation in this country might
not be bad idea.

WHY THEY LEAD.

DR.. Pierce's medicines outsen all others,
because of their possessing such superior
curative properties as to warrant their
manufacturers in supplying them to the
people (as they are doing through all
druggists) on such conditions as no other
medicines are sold under, viz: that they
shall either benefit or cure the patient,
or all money paid for them will be re-
funded. The Golden Medical Discov-

and all bronchial, throat and lung diseas-

next Saturday week.
The frame work of the new school
house at Colerain is up, and will be under

September 7th. A large number of Sab
bath-schools will be present to participate.
Mrs. Adaline Coats Stilwell, estimable
wife of David Stilwell, died at her home
near Kidd last Thursday morning. She
had been in delicate health all summer,
but was rapidly improving, when she was
stricken with typhoid dysentery and
fingered but a few days. She was a
model wife, an affectionate mother, a
kind friend, and good neighbor. She
was conSistant member of the L. p.
Church at st. Clairsville. Her funeral
services were conducted by her pastor,
Rev. Thos Balph, and was largely attend
ed by her many friends and neighbors. A
husband and six children have the heart
felt sympathy of the community.
Miss Della Heath, of Blaine, and alady
friend of Wheeling, are the guests of the
family of Eli McNIillen.
Mr. W. V. Stilwell, of Pleasant Grove,
started Monday to Leadville, Colorado,
to visit his brothers, and will grow up
with the country if the climate is suita-
bic to his constitution.
Miss Hattie Bales still continues very
low, and all hopes of her recovery have
been given up by her attending physicians.
Communion services were conducted
at the Pleasant Valley Church last Sab
bath by Revs Alexander and Hays.
Mr.. Lloyd Timberlake, the popular
agent at Barton, narrowly escaped death
last Saturday night. He went to his
home at Flushing in the evening and
made arrangements with the agent at
Holloway Tor a certain tram to SLOW up
for his return to Barton that evening"
The agent forgot to give the order When
the train approached, young Timberlake
grabbed for the caboose but missed his
hold, falling violently to the ground,
severely bruising his head and limbs.
Mr.. Gilbert Henderson, of the Cleveland
Plain Dealer staff, died at his home last
Wednesday, after protracted illness of
consumption. His remains were brought
to his mothers home at Harrisville, and
were laid to rest in the Union Cemetery
last Saturday, the X. of P. officiating. He
was a former well-to-do school teacher,
and was well and favorably known over
this county. A wife and three children
are bereft by his early demise.

ENGLISH IRON-WORKERS.

L4NNlIlCl4 llbOAN-ff Ollh
Ohio State Journal
The Democratic editorial roosters of
of Ohio make a loud cackling over last
years laid egg.
Eight or ten English manufacturers
of iron have agreed to advance the wages
of their workingmen, and thereupon
the Ohio free trade brethren triumph
antly claim that protection has no other
effect than to reduce wages. They point
to free trade England as evidence of the
fact
The brethren neglect to notice the
fact that some eighteen months ago the
English iron workers submitted to a re-
duction of wages and that the present
advance barely covers that reduction.
They also neglect to state that, even
with the advance of wages, English iron
and steel-workers receive 40 per cent.
less compensation for their labor than
is paid in the United States for like ser
vices-receive 35 to 40 per cent. less than
was offered by Carnegie & Phipps and
refused by American workmen.

JOHN YELDELL, alias Rev. E. F.
Flemon, the colored Pittsburgh preacher
over whose requisition from the Cover
nor of South Carolina so much disturb
bance was made, has been tried on the
charge of murder, in Edgefeld, S. c.,
and acquitted. The trial was short,
sharp and conclusive. An angry mob
surrounded the jail containing Yeldell
during the entire night following his ac-
quittal. Threats of lynching were free
ly made. He was finally taken to Co
lumbia upon a special train and under
strong guard, and got started safely
for Pittsburgh.

speeches supporting the greenback
heresy, Foster had him defeated. For

THE fear of Yeldell's friends that he
would be lynched if taken back to South
Carolina was well founded, as the Edge
field authorities themselves admit. In
deed it took close guardianship to keep
back the murderous gang, and it was
not regarded as safe for him to be in
court when the verdict of acquittal was
rendered.

A NEW HOME TREATMENT.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites in
the lining membrane of the nose and eus-
tachian tubes. Microscopic research, how
ever, has proved this to be a fact and the
result is that simple remedy has been for
mulated whereby catarrh, catarrhal deafness
and hay fever are permanently cured in
from one to three simple applications made

STANLEY AND EMIN PASRA.

From the New York Mail.
We can think of no more pleasing in
telligence-nO intelligence which would
create more general delight-than that
Henry NJ. Stanley and Emin PaSha had
again touched the borders of civilization.
A report comes by way of Zanzibar,
August 8, that the long lost ruler of
Wadelai and the long lost traveller and
explorer are coming down the coast with
5000 men and an enormous quantity of
ivory. When they shall be able to reach
Zanzibar is pronounced uncertain.
We are not disposed to give too much
credence to this report. The fate of
Stanley and the fate of Emin and the
probable whereabouts of the one and the
other have been long and so much talked
about that rumOrS and reports are often
no better than the fruit of conjecture
At the same time we are not permitted to
doubt that both these men, if they could
leave Africa personally satisfied, are will
ing to come home.
Emin is unwilling to leave to their fate
people who have so long repOsed their
condolences in him, and who would be in
great danger if he left them. Stanley has
no such tie binding him to the interior.
But both Emin and Stanley have one tie
in common. They have vast stores of
wealth in the shape of ivory, and what
they want to do is to get it to the coast,
where it can be safely guarded and ship
ped to Europe. Stanley is not the man
to leave these treasures behind him, un-
less he is compelled to do so. The report,
therefore, that the two men are coming
down the coast in the circumstances de-
scribed is not wanting in apparent truth
fitness

the government $3.50, the manufacturer
"a, the retailer 81. What does the CON
sumer get? Delirum tremens, maybe.
