This girl is thirteen years OF age, and Q
one OF number OF old, helpless cases Of
progressive paralysis, cured by the Moxie
Nerve Food. She now resides at No. Z

Massachusetts. She was so helpless her
mother was obliged to attend her as In in

was progressive paralysis, and absolutely
mcI rable. A nurse at the Massachusetts
General Hospital advised the use Of Moxie

The forty-second annusl report OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
just published, gives some idea Of the
vast business transacted by this great
corporation, and the admirable manner
that 1t lie managed. The gross earn
ings for the year were over thirty-slx
millions of dollars, and the expenses
about twenty-three millions, leaving q
net gain OF over thirteen millions. to
which is added over four millions OF
dollars realized from investments and
other sources, making the total earn
ings nearly eighteen million dollars or
about a million and half dollars per
month, or nearly fifty thousand dollars
day. This is revenue larger than
that of many OF the smaller European
Governments, while the men In the
employ Of the company exceed in
number those In their standing armies.
During the year there were over
seventy four million passengers car
ried, and over one hundred and thir-
teen million tons OF freight moved
Yet with all this vast traffic, there
were but comparatively few accidents,
which show The admirable system in
operation on this road and its branches.

Entered at the Post Office at Whining
Ton, Del, as second class mail matter.
MONDAY, MARCH 4. 1889.

The Every Evening, News, Star
and Evening Journal have also taken
up the cudgel against Mr.. Whiteman's
bill, now before the Legislature, which
10 intended to exclude Chicago dressed
beef from this State. This bill was
framed In the interest of few men
for the purpose OF putting the many at
their mercy. II 10 not intended to
benefit the farmers, and those who
favor 1t know that Il will not, as it
will only change the form of competi.
ton by causing the Western cattle to
be brought here alive instead OF being
ready dressed. This will not only in
crease the price OF meat, but also give
us much poorer quality than we new
get, consequently this is a matter
which concerns every person in this
city, and protest against the passage
OF this bill should be sent to Dover at
once. In this matter the butchers are
using the farmers to pull the chestnuis
out Of the fire Tor them to eat, and if
the bill should become law, there is
not q farmer in the State who will
receive dollar more for his cattle,
as the butchers will soon give him to
understand that they can buy the
Western cattle cheaper than he can at
ford to raise them.
This bill should be killed anil that
without delay, for as the Evening
Journal justly says II is not for the
protection of the public health, but for
the protection of private pockets, and
that al the expense Of the working
men, the toilers, Of this State. II
these men are 80 solicitous for the
public health it seems strange they did
not urge the appointment Of
meat inspector years ago, whsn thu
people OF this city were in We handi

these very men were paying the
farmers the lowest possible price fol
their cattle. They did not want any
meat inspector then, but now that thu
people can buy good, healthy meat al
reasonable prices, it geems absolutely
necessary, according to these men, L

There seems to be growing oppo-
sition 10 the project for widening
Tenth street, and il is now doubtful
if the bill authorizing the city to Dor
row one hundred thousand dollars for
this purpose will be passed by the
Legislature. Many OF those who at
first favored the Improvement seem
TO have taken the sober second
thought, and came to the conclusion
that we can get along very well with
out II, and that hundred thousand
dollars can be used to much better
advantage in paving some OF our
streets. The bill is now held by the
Legislature, and those who are op.
posed 10 an increase Of the debt OF the
city and consequent increase of taxa
ton and rents shoIld write to the
members from New Castle County
without delay, and express theil
Views on the matter. We think, as
We said few days since, that If Tenth
street is widened the railway compan,
should bear part Of the expense, a!
no one will reap more benefit from i
than they.

small.
And the door is unbarted by herself all aslow-
Half in smiles, half in tears-Theodosia Provost
Alack for the soldier that's buried and gonel
What's volley above him, a wreath on stone
Comuared with sweet life and wife for ones
view
Like this dame ripe and warm in her India fichu'
She chides her bold lover, yet holds him more
dear.
For daring that brings him night-rider here;
British galants by day through her doors come
and go,
But Yankees the winner of Theo Provost.
Where's the Widow or maid with q mouth te
be kist,
When Burr comes a-wooing, that long woult
resist?
Lights and vino on the beaufet, the shutter:
all fast,
And Old Put stamps in vain till an hour hal
| flown past
But an hour, for eight leagues must be covered
| ere day.
Laughs Aaron: "Lct Washington frown as Iii

When he hears OF me next in 4 raid sn the foe
He'A forgive this night tryst with the Widow
