The Teacher

Who advised her pupils to strengthen
their minds by the use Of Ayers Sar-
saparilla, appreciated the truth that
bodily health is essential to mental
vigor. For persons Of delicate and feeble
constitution, whether young or old, this
medicine is remarkably beneficial. Be
sure you get Ayers Sarsaparilla.
Every spring and fall take num-
ber of bottles of Ayers Sarsaparilla, and
am greatly benefited. - Mrs. James II.

LINCOLN AND CURTIN.

Pittsburgh Commecci..LGazette.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times contributes an interesting sketch
of ex-G0v. Curtin's political career
Among other things the writer seeks to
make clear the fact that Mr.. Stewards
nomination at Chicago in 1880 was PR =
vented solely by two men, Andrew O.
Curtin and Henry 5. Lane. They were
then in nomination for Governor of their
respective States, Pennsylvania and In
diana, and their election the ensuing Oc-
tOber was regarded as essential to Re-
publican success in November. They
maintained that with Seward as the Pres
idential candidate they would be defeat
ed, and this it was that prevented Sew
ards nomination. The choice naturally
Went to Lincoln, and when October came
Curtin and Lane were both elected and
Lincoin's success was assured.
Gov. Curtin also gives what he claims
to be the correct version of Lincoln'S sud
den change of route from Harrisburg to
Washington, when he went to be inaug-
urated. He rode in the night and lane
ed at the Capital when he was supposed
to be sleeping in Harrisburg. Gov Cur
tin presided at dinner given to Lincoln
and few friends, and it was there that
the change of route and time was per-
fected, and subsequently executed by tie
late Col. Thomas A. Scott, who was one
of the guests. Scott arranged the whole
programme, and when everything was n
readiness the telegraph wires were cut
by his direction and Lincoln and Lamon
were sent on their changed journey
Whatever there was in the Baltimore con-
spiracy came to naught, as next morning
Lincoln was safe in Washington

IMPORTANT TO PHOTOGRAPHERS

An English Judge has decided that
the negative of picture does not be-
long to the photographer, and he has no
right to any picture without the consent
of the person of whom it is the counter
felt. In the case before him the artist
claimed the negative and displayed
copies in public. The Justice pronounc-
ed this ''wholly wrong" Said the Lon
don Times: "The question is one which
has long been in dispute, and the view
put forward on the part of the defend
ant has been upheld and acted upon by
many photographers. We think it is "A
matter for eongratulation that it can

GLENCOE Road MEETING.

The road meeting atrGlencoe last Sat
urday was well attended by farmers and
others. W. d. Porterfield was called to
the chair. a motion was made by J.
H. Denham that our present road law
should be repealed, and some other
course adopted. The resolution was
discussed by Messrs. Denham, Knox,
Clark, Hall, Ault and others, in favor of
the motion, and by Thos. J. King and
VIM. Denham in opposition.
The principal objection urged against
our present law was that it is inopera-
tive, and in proof of that theory refer
ence was made to their. present condi-
tion. The opposition favored sticking
to our system until we found something
better, but failed to tell us how to find
anything better without trying it. The
motion was passed Is TO 9.
One thing is sure: A deeper interest
was aroused. and another meeting call
ed for Saturday, January 19. In the
meantime, meeting will be held at
Stewartsville.
We think meetings should be held all
over the county. A decided demand
for better pike law was shown, and the
plans of Hon. VIM. Bundy and J. F.
Anderson will be discussed at aifuture
meeting. DOVER

THE PRETTY GIRLS OF IRELANI


San Francisco Chronicle.
The irish ladies are perhaps the pret-
tiest in the wide world, always except
ing our fair cousins, the Yankee bellies.
Their features, it is true, are less regu-
lar than those of English women, but
they triumph over them with their soft,
creamy compilations, their large, ap-
pealing gray-blue eyes and long lashes,
and a sort of indefnable charm and de-
mure coquetry, yet thoroughly modest
manners. Livery third Irish woman"
wrote the Queen in her diary when last
visiting the country, sis beautiful, and
some of them remarkably so. Their
hair and eyes are simply lovely" Apart
from personal charms, it is impossible
not to admire the gentle grace and dig
nifty of the wives and daughters of the
Emerald Isle. Go where you will, de-
fy you to find an Irish woman who is
otherwise than naturally distinguished
the very barmaids being superior in
bearing and speech to many English
Duchesses. The list ens- beauties is
long one, and looking back we can re-
call histories of the extraordinary love-
illness of the three Miss Cummings,
who, when they came up to London,
had actually to be escorted in Hyde
Park by guard of soldiers sent by the
order of the Secretary of State, SO over
whelmingly was the crowd pressing
upon them. Then there was Lady Denny,
Lady Cahir, Lady Clare and many 9th
ers, to say nothing of the present young
Duchess of Leinster, one of the most
attractive women of this or any other
dav.

DISPERSION oF PLANTS.
How Weeds Are Carried from One Par
OF the Globe to the other.

How Weeds Are Carried from One Part
OF the Globe TO the other.
1t is matter Of common tradition that
many Of the worst pests OF our fields
were introduced by the early colonists
under some mistaken notion of their
value. In all newly-settled parts of the
world the same mistake is being re.
peated over and over again. An English.
man writing to Nature from one Of the
South Sea Islands says:
Thousands of acres Of pasturage have
been destroyed in this island by the dis
tribution by birds Of the LdHtdRd. which
was unfortunately introduced here by
the first Roman Catholic missionaries to
form hedge for their property at st.
Louis or Conception.
The "Gendarme plant" was brought
here in a pillow by gendarme from
Tahiti. II was a seed attached 10 a wing
OF silk cotton. The gendarme shook out
his pillow, the wind carried the seed
TO a suitable spot. and now Il vies with
the LdHtdHd in destroying our pastures.
The seeds Of water-plants are con-
veyed to vast distances, adhering TO the
hairs and feathers Of the legs Of water
birds-ducks, herons and waders OF all
sorts. In London the basins Of the
fountains in Trafalgar Square were peo-
Piled by LymHG1 brought thither from
the Serpentine, attached TO the feathers
Of the sparrows who bathed, first in ono
and then in the other.
We have just got plant here bearing
a lovely flower, but whence 1t comes no
one knows. IL has hard wooden seed
capsules, each furnished with two hooks
as hard as steel and as sharp as needles.
These, hooking into the hide OF ary
animals, would be carried for days, until
forcibly dislodged.
The Bathurst barr was introduced
into the cape in a cargo OF wool wrecked
at Cape Agulhas, and spread out TO dry,
first there and then at Simmons Town,
az both OF which places the burr sprang
up. believe and hope / destroyed the
first and last plant Of il that sprang up
in New Zealand some twenty-five years
ago. The seed had been brought in the
living fleece OF fine merino ram. The
owner Of the pasture was cherishing the
wonderful new plant and was not a
