THE throwing the shoe is a relic of
an Anglo-Saxon custom. In those early
days the brides father delivered her
shoe to the husband, who touched her
with it on the fol- Iehead, to denote his
authority over her. This custom was
probably founded upon a possible mis-
interpretation of Ruth Al.

Disorders Which Affect the Kidneys

Are among the most formidable known.
Diabetes, Bright's disease, gravel and
other complaints of the urinary organs
are not ordinarily cured in severe cases,
but they may be .averted by timely
medication. A useful stiniulant of the
urinary glands has ever been found in
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, medicine
which not only affords the requisite
stimulus when they become inactive,
but increases their vigor and secretive
power. By increasing the activity of
the kidneys and bladder, this medicine
has the additional effect of expelling
from the blood impurities which it is
the peculiar Office of those organs to
eliminate and pass off. The Bitters is
also purifier and strengthener of the
bowels, an invigorant of the stomach,
and a matchless remedy for biliousness
and fever and ague. 1t counteracts a
tendency to premature decay, and
sustains and comforts the aged and

PUBLIC OPINION.
THE SILVER WAR Is ON.

THE SILVER WAR Is ON.
Cleveland Leader.
The tug of war has come between the
free coiners and their opponents In the
lower house of Congress. The committee
Yesterday agreed, by vote of eight 70
five, to report the Bland bill to the House
for passage. The free silver men count
upon a great majority for their Dill In
the House; expect it to pass the Senate
nv a few votes and to be vetoed by the
d. President. All they hope to gain at this
session is such an agitation of the ques-
tion as will make it an issue In the
coming Presidential campaign.
About the only difference between the
present Bland bill and his measure OF
1873 is that this one creates coin Ger.
tificates instead of silver certificates and
that they are payable in either silver OF
GOLD Its essential feature is the estab-
lishment of free coinage, authorizing the
silver mine owners to have seventy
cents worth of their metal coined into
pieces which the people will be expected
to accent for one dollar. The heads of
the Democratic party are opposed to all
agitation of this question for the present.
Senator Vest, in his letter to the Grey
stone Club, said his party was "hope.
lessly divided on the silver question:;
that sfree coinage, made an issue by an
action of the Democrats in Congress, OF
by the National Democratic Convention,
means division, and dissention means
defeat" He seems to be impressed with
the belief that house divided against
itself can not stand and that the house
his party lives in is 'hopelessly divided
We shall see whether time will mend or
widen the chasm. In the Senate the
silver spell is. losing its power. Inc
Senate Finance Committee, on Tuesday,
decided by a,vote of z to to report
adversely the Stewart silver bill and
three Democrats voted with the Repub-
licans. The light seems to be breaking
through some of the chinks and cram
nies of the ''hopelessly divided" Demo
cratic House, but it has not yet reached
Bland and his cohorts and probably Will
not:strike their vision until the House
is shattered into fragments and It's oc-
cupants buried in political ruin.

AHIGHwAYMAN's PRAYER.

| London Literary World.
The story is told of the capture of
troublesome bushranger of the name Of
Power, who was cured of his propensi
ties by a long and salutary imprison
ment, at the termination of which he
obtained the position of gamekeeper te
a baronet in the colony. One of the sto
ries which he told after his capture is
illustrative of the strange cross-ligkts OF
human character.
He said he had stuck up number OF
draymen on the road between Avenel
and Seymour, and after stopping eight
or nine of them, and seeing another ap-
proach him. he stepped from behind a
tree, and ordered the driver to "bail up, v
calling out, 81 am Power, the bushrang-
er," at the same time covering him with
his double -barreled gun. The drayman
pulled up his horses, and Power demand
ed his money; ;but the driver, who proved
himself to be a Scotchman, most posi-
lively declined to hand it over. He said:
II have worked hard for my money, and
have only nine pounds upon me, and
nothing in the world will induce me to
give it up" Power replied: "You see,
all these gentlemen here" pointing to
the drivers of the other wagons, shave
given me up all their money, and you
will have to do the same" The drayman
still remained obduraGe, and Power then
said to him: "Look here, my good man,
you see the position am in; if 1 allow
you to pass without giving me your
money my occupation viii be gone. l
am bushranger, and make my. living
as a highwayman. Suppose let you
pass, the next person stick up will also
refuse to hand over his money, and the
public will say 1 am afraid to shoot a
man. 1 will therefore give you five
minutes to think over the matter, and
if after that time you still refuse l will
have to shoot you.' Power said to me:
II did not want to shoot the poor fellow,
so left him and went behind tree and
prayed to God to soften his heart, and
the Lord answered my prayer" At the
end of the appointed time l again call
ed on the drayman to hand over his cash,
and he handed to me without murmur.
