No Time to Waste on Wedding Tours.

The Methodist Minister at Red Hook, Dutch
ess Co., married recently a man nearly 20
years of age to a woman of the same age. In
answer to questions they each said they had
been married twice before. They were in a
hurry to have the knot tied that they might
get back to their home in Lakeville, for, the
aged bridegroom explained, and with great
deal of truth, that they had NO time to waite
on wedding t0urs."

Ayers Pills

Are better known and more general
iy used than any other cathartic.
Sugar-coated, purely vegetable, and
free from mercury or any other inju-
rious drug, this is the ideal family
medicine. Though prompt and ener-
getic in their action, the use Of these
pills is attended with only the best
results. Their effect is to strengthen
and regulate the organic functions,
being especially beneficial in the
various arrangements of the stom-
ach, liver, and bowels.

Senator PETER is the best listener in the
Senate. When statesman has anything to
say, or even when he only talks he is always
sure of one auditor. If he stands so far away
that the words may be iudistinct. the Kansas
get as close TO the orator as possible. Despite
the ridicule cast upon this gentle voiced Sen
ator from the great West, he has at all times
the appearance of man very sincere in speech
and action.

While the Senate taks-and talks-about
silver, the House amuses itself with proposing
and rejecting amendments to the rules. One
cannot say when the end of this latter will
come. Two years ago it took three weeks TO
get the code in working order. and it was
necessary at the end to hold Democratic
caucus to come to an understanding. The
uPshot of it viii probably be the adoption of
a code closely similar TO that of the last
Congress- and the transaction of business at
the old stand and in the same manner.
