IMPRUDENT MARRIAGES,

The following sensible thoughts on
the hasty and imprudent marriages,
so common in this country, are from
the 14rt-hQterchanee:
In no country in this world but
the United States will a young man
expect young woman marry to him
when he has no visible means of sup
port. But it is as true as elsewhere,
that matrimony is presumably en-
tered into for happiness; and it is
quite as true that when a young
couple marry without means to pro-
vide the necessaries of life, they
marry not into happiness but misery.
With all due allowance for the fact,
that money is made here more
quickly than elsewhere, | am sure
that it would be the part of wisdom,
under the circumstances, to be a
trhe more mercenary.
But to be mercenary is to the aver.
age young woman horror of hor-
rcrs; for has she not been brought
up with the idea that bills will be
paid somehow out of manly purse,
that it is a masculine trait to send
costly flowers when the sender has
not even clerkship, that the world
is gay, and that romance really has
not been driven to the wall? When
instilled with love she is not to be
expected to be mel cenary for the
first time. Why should she? The
thought is very "calculated"; is re.
pugnant and vulgar. The result is
an improvident marriage after which
with marvellous rapidity, Love un-
folds his wing and departs by the
nearest window. Love abhors petty
sacrifices on the altar of penurious-
ness. But | have not stated the
remedy.
The remedy is the proper training
of women. Girls are, If anything,
quicker witted than men, and could
they see what they consent to do
when they whisper "Yes" they
would much oftener turn that Eyes"
into a decisive mo" an sure
that ii all girls were brought up to
know the value of money they would
marry better. have heard many a
girl exclaim that she wished she
knew how to make living we're she
compelled to do so. And | would
like to see every girl, rich or poor,
taught from very childhood that she
must earn a certain amount in any
event, or suffer some deprivations in
consequence-make it gloves, flow
ers, laces, pleasure expenses, or any
one thing that row induces eXtrava-
CANT habits. | venture the belief that
with their quick wits they would in
almost every case accomplish their
task.
If girls knew the value of money,
and were taught to earn it-therc are
plenty Of ways open to them for
earning it-there would be fewer

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANOEs.
Three Well Known People Walked Away,
Never to Be Seen Again.

Ralph Keller, we'll known journa-
list, was an assistant editor on the .At-
lantic Monthly in 1872. He had made
all his arrangements to 60 to Cuba to
write up that island for his superior,
Mr.. w. D. Howells sent his baggage
to the steamar, bade good-by to large
circle of friends, and started for the
wharf. He never reached the wharf;
he has never been seen or heard of
since.
Tne husband of Mrs. Margaret E.
Sangster, the present editor of Ra,per's
Basar, was thriving lawyer and lived
in Brooklyn. On July 4, 1870, he
complained that the din of the fire.
crackers had given him headache and
went out on the front stoop of his house
at 9 in the evening to get little fresh
air. He was clad l.. dressing gown
and smoking cap. As he remained out
for some time Mrs. Sangster went out
to the front door to call him. He was
not on the stoop. He was never seen
again. One might have supposed that
the sight of man on the street in a
dressing gown and smoking cap would
have excited some attention, vet no
one could furnish a clew as to his
whereabouts.
This case is all the more striking be.
cause Harper's establishment contains
another lady editor, Mrs. Helen S. Co.
nant, who knows not if she be wife or
widow. Her husband, S. B. Conant,
editor of Harper's Weekly, left his
Office for home one summer evening in
the early part of 1885 and was never
seen again. Three weeks later a dead
body was found in the Jersey swamps,
which was at first thought to be that OF
the missing editor, but the widow failed
to identify it, and the best efforts of the
police were exhausted in vain.

PENSION COMMISSIONER TANNER has
modified the rule requiring that one of
ficer or two private soldiers must certify
to the origin of disability in the case of
an applicant for pension, so that one
officer or one private soldier will now
be considered as sufficient to prove the
cause of disability. In effect, this is a
ruling that the word of private soldier
of good character is as good as the word
of an officer. 1t is ruling that will
command the approval of every true
American. The only difference between
the privates and the officers in the army
of the Republic was that the latter were
in command while the former obeyed.
Let the Mugwumps howl if they will!
Corporal Tanner has done a commenda-
BILE thing.

DURING the college commencement
season those who take any interest in
the welfare and progress of higher edu-
cation in the United States were graft
fed to see the numerous reports of al
most unprecedentedly large gifts to our
leading Institutions of learning. The
New York Ecenillg Post published list
of donations to forty-five American col
leges in the last school year. aggregating
S3,293, 800. 1t is probable that the total
value of gifts to all colleges was S4,-
100000, or near that sum. Now it ap-
pears likely that the number of students
entering the various colleges this fall
will be correspondingly great.

CHINESE MISSIONS.

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
Commenting upon Lieut.. Wards re-
port of the Christian missions in China,
we expressed the conjecture that his
impressions were derived from super
fetal view of the work in the parts visit
ed by him. The September number of
the official Presbyterian publication, The
Church at Home and abroad, furnishes
some facts on the subject. The Chinese
Island Mission has now 329 missionaries
in the field, over 80 of whom are self
supporting. The work of this mission
is altogether in the interior, where trav-
elers do not penetrate. A still more
striking exhibition of missionary ac-
tivity is given in an article in the Inde-
pendent this week, from which it APP
pears that there are in China S5,4O3
Catholics, 2,460 churches, 44O European
missionaries, 303 native priests, 1904
schools, 25,219 pupils, 81 seminaries,
666 seminarians besides various charita-
BILE institutions. There are prominent
church denominations in this country
of smaller membership than the Catho-
lie Church in China.

FOUR Representatives elected to the
Fifty-frst Congress have died since No
vember. Three of these, Burnes, of
Missouri, Townshend, of Illinois, and
Gay, of Louisiana, were Democrats, and
one, Laird, of Nebraska, Republican.
Successors to Burnes and Townshend,
also Democrats, have been elected, and
Gays place will be filled by special
election on September 3. The district
has large Republican majority, includ-
ing considerable proportion of white
Republicans, and they expect to carry
the district. Gay was protectionist
and very popular, which accounted for
his success in twice carrying the district.
Laird's district has 10000 Republican
majority, and there need be no appre-
hension as to the result there.

THURSDAY, AUGUST %, 1889.

OUR offer of low-rate campaign papers
met with responses from some of the
post-offices of the County. We desire to
express thanks to those of our friends
who interested themselves in the matter,
and to repeat the declaration that in no
other way can Republicans of the Coun-
ty so effec ullly promote the good cause
in the campaign in which they will soon
be engaged.
The rate offered (25 cents each, in clubs
of ten and upward, until after the No
vember election, ought to add one thous-
and names to the subscription list of THE
CHRONICLE within two weeks. That ad-
ditional constituency would be reached
and stirred every week for about fifteen
weeks, at a cost of less than two cents a
week for each. Is this not, incompara-
bly,, the cheapest and best way to reach
the people? Is not the newspaper, 60
ing into families week after week for
more than three months, more apt to
make an impression than passionate ap-
peals addressed to men on the eve of the
election, at one hundred times the cost
The offer is still open, and we hope to
hear from every poSt-Office of the County.
Remember: The price is 25 cents for each
in clubs of ten or upward,
from the time received until the week
following the election.
This plan offers cheap, easy, and eff
fective way to reach the people, and the
of the County should avail
themselves of it with spirit

THE PRESIDENT IN CINCINNATI

THE PRESIDENT IN CINCINNATI
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, August %.
Cincinnati yesterday entertained the
President of the United States. She
did it royalty and cordially, with enthu-
siasm. In the hundred years of her life
"the Queen City of the West in her gar
lands drest, by the banks of the beauti-
full river" has had as her guests only
three or four times Chief Executives of
the Nation while actually in office,
though nearly all of them she has well
coined either as ex-President or Presi-
dent-elect, including the martyred Lin
coin in the portentious days of 1861,
when on his way to take the oath of of
| fce
The programme yesterday was brief
and almost informal, in accordance with
the known desire of President Harrison.
He was received at the Central Union
Depot on the arrival from Deer Park of
his somewhat delayed train in the morn
ing. A detail of police and the First
Regiment of the Ohio National Guard
and Battery B acted as escort of honor
to the Burnet House, whittier the Com
mittees of Reception, including the
Governor of Ohio, first conducted the
President. A visit was then made to
the Builders Exchange, where an ad-
dress of welcome was made by President
Allison, a brief speech by President Har
rison, and some remarks by Governor
Foraker. A similar programme was
carried out at the beautiful new Cham
Der of Commerce, where President Lowe
Emerson made the welcoming speech.
A brilliant, but wineless, dinner was
laid for twenty-five covers at the Burnet
House, and at P. NJ. the Presidential
party left via the c., H. Il d. r. R., for
indianapolis, to attend the Inauguration
of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument.
Everywhere there were crowds, cheers,
music and flowers. From the shouts
and booming cannon in the morning to
the plaudits in the evening as the special
pulled out of the c., H. & d. Depot,
Cincinnati showed she well knew how
to "welcome the coming and speed the
parting guest" During the day thous-
ands seized the opportunity to grasp the
President by the hand and look into his
honest, intelligent, handsome face.

HOW TO GET ALONG.

Pay as you go.
Never "foOl" in business matters.
Learn to think and act for yourself.
Do not kick every one in your path.
Keep ahead rather than behind the
times.
Don't stop to tell stories in business
hours.
Use your own brains rather than those
of others.
Have order, system, regularity and
promptness.
Do not meddle with business you know
nothing of.
A man of honor respects his word as
he does his bond.
If you have place of business be
found there when wanted.
No man can get rich by sitting around
stores and saloons.
Help others when you can, but never
give what you cannot afford to, simply
because it is fashionable.

ENGLISH wOrkingmen are becoming
aroused on the subject of pauper imm'-
grafton to that country, and are demand

stricting immigration are repugnant to
the sense of National hospitality, but
every society has a right to say who

ted States has suffered great deal by
allowing itself to be dumping ground

The next reunion will be held at Den
nison, o., the time to be chosen by the
Executive Committee. This is cen
tral point, which will be an inducement
for the boys to turn out en- masse.
There were present yesterday 100, or
more, of the Ninety eighth, aud about
IS of the Fifteenth. Then there were a
number from other regiments in the
ranks, which helped to swell them to
fair proportions.
The Rev. Mr.. Butts, formerly pastor
of the Smithfield NJ. E. Church, was
there. He was member of the Nine
ty-eighth, and as good soldier as he is
a parson. Sheriff Foulke, of the same
regiment; W. A. Hunt, editor of the
CHRONICLE; Col Mitchell, COmrade Jep-
son and others were untiring in their
efforts to make the boys feel at home.
We missed, more than any other, the
genial, jovial, patient and efficient DIR.
Henry West, our first surgeon. He has
answered the last roll call, and now
rests on flames eternal camping
ground" But there were Capt. Parrish
and DR.. McCauley, both of Uhriehsville.
They are veterans indeed.
Two of the Branden boys were there,
and seemed to never tire of telling that
they belonged to family of thirty-three
children, fourteen of whom were in the
army. The father of this numerous
family was through the Mexican war.
They claim the banner. So far none
have contested their right to it.

GARRISON states that the number of
changes in the post-offices since the
present Administration has come into
power has been about 1900. This does
not beat the record, however, for the
changes were as numerous under Cleve-
lands Administration for the same
length of time. Neither has there been
any partisan shaking up to the extent
that the figures might seem to imply,
for one-third of the changes were
brought about by resignation.

TIL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Old woman described in the nursery bal
lad, who lived upon nothing but victuals
and drink" and yet "wOuld never
be quiet" was undoubtedly troubled
with chronic indigestion. Her vlctuals,
like those of many other elderly persons
whose digestive powers have become i'm
paired, did MT agree with her. This was
before the era of HOstetters stomach
Bitters, or some one of her numerous
friends and relatives would undoubtedly
have persuaded her to try the great spe-
cific for dyspepsia, constipation and bill
iousneSS. This would have been a meas
ure of self-protectiOn on their part, for
she would soon have been cured and
ceased to disturb them with her clamOr.
The most obstinate cases of indigestion,
with its attendant heartburn, tiatulence,
constant uneasiness of the stomach and
of the nerves, are completely overcome by
this sovereign remedy. Chills, fever and
bilious remittent, rheumatism and kidney
troubles are also relieved by it. 74-4t
