rRon1Na TIE PRISON scANpAL.


LANCASTER, March 28.-Distriet Attor-
ne7 Franklin's probing into the county pris-
on scandal yesterday afternoon, developed
an acknowledgement from Levi Sensenig, a
prominent politician who is in no way con
nected with the institution, that he went to
Philadelphia and bought chain for the
prison. He said he did this purely for
friendship.
This chain was returned on account Of
poor quality and it is alleged that the price
charged was con lderably higher than mar
let quotations. The boss weaver, it was
testified, bad offered in lieu Of his election
TO make it payn for certain inspectors,
and the first underkeeper said he had paid n
certain member Of the prison board $50
alter his election for courtesies and not for
oae inspectors vote. The same inspector,

How We Grow Old.

The thread that binds us to life is most frequently severed ere the meridian of life is reached in the case of persons who neglect obvious means to renew failing strength. Vigor, no less the source of happiness than the condition of long life, can be created and perpet- uated where it does not exist. Thou sands who have experienced or are cog misunderstanding many physicians of eminence-of the effects of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, bear testimony to its wondrous efficacy as creator of strength in feeble constitutions. and debilitated and shattered systems. A steady per formance of the bodily functions, re- newed appetite, flesh and nightly repose attend the use of this thorough and standard renovant. Use no local tonic represented to be akin to or resemble it in effects in its place. Demand the gen. uine, which is an acknowledged remedy for indigestion, malaria, nervousness, constipation, liver and kidney com plaints and rheumatism.

The following essay by school boy is too good to be lost: Pants are made for men and not men fo1 pants. Women are madc for men and not for pants. When a man pants for a woman and a woman pants for man, they are a pair oi pants. Such pants don't last. Pants are like molasses; they are thinner in hot weather and thicker in cold. The man in the moon changes his pants during an eclipse. Don't go to the pantry for pants, you might be mistaken. Men are often mis. taken for pants. Such mistakes are brooches of promise. There has been much discussion as to whether pants is singular or plural. Seems to us when men wear pants it is plural and when they don't wear pants it is singular. Men go on a tear in their pants and it is all right; but when the pants go on 8 tear it is all wrong.

An old-tlmer in New Mexico and
 Arizona, after reading last weeks s
 HERALD, gave us the following ex.
 planation as to why our Mexican
 population had not learned to read
 and speak the English language more generally than they have. He says the leaders among them. whom
 they have learned to look up to for counsel and guidance, have always discouraged it, and have left no ar- gument or sophistical reasoning unused 10 enforce their wishes.
 On being asked why they did this what object they had in Keeping their people ignorant of the laws and history, customs and ideas of the government under which they were born and live?. explained it as follows In thelr present condi- ton they were tractable-could be led to do the will or bidding of ac- knowledged leaders in everything. They know that education begets reasoning-rcasoning begets inde. pendence-the more englightened they become the weaker the hold of their leaders. To keep the rank and file in ignorance, they appeal to their natural prejudice against the "gringo." Instead of trying to allay this prejudice, they are
 continually flaming the flame to keep 1t alive. He said further that if the Mexican people were left to themselves they would very soon assimilate, become Americanized and all race feeling would die out.

The mayordomo for Don Solo. mon Luna's sheep herds in this county, brought in some specimens of turquoise last Monday. He says there is an old abandoned mine of it on, or near the head of the Min. eral. Evidences of old workings were numerous. He found old rusty picks, shovels and other mining i'm. plements scattered around in pro- fusion. Discovered several old tunnels, partly filled from caving in and the accumulation of ages. A cave was discovered in the same vicinity several years ago, and con- siderable pottery, beads and other relics of the people who inhabited it were found in the cave. The pot tery was in a good state of preser- vation, and exhibited skill as we'll as taste, in its manufacture and adornment. Hon. J. l.. Hubble went out on Monday to examine the mine, and had not returned up to this writing. We may be able in our next issue to give more par ticulars and better description of this discovery.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot reach tho diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus. tachian Tube. When this tube gets in- famed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire ly closed Deafness is the result, and un- less the inflammation can be taken ou, and this tube restored to its normal con- dition, hearing will be destroyed forever, nine cases out of ten are caused by ca tarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Mrs. Clark, the physicians wife, came
in. This lady was well of, dressy, but
economical and very fussy. All
Witham knew that she was hard to
please. She would not burden Miss
Goodrich for anything, she began, if
she could possibly find time to go her
self to the city or if she could get what
she wanted in Witham.
She had a piece of brown plaid
which she would like matched; would
Miss Goodrich be so kind ss TO get the
came quality exactly and the same
pattern2 See? There was that fine
stripe-did she notice that. II was
bought three years ago-Mrs. Clark
did not remember now whether it was
in New York or Philadelphia; she had
paid dollar yard for it, and she
would like six ydrds more.
Mrs. Green, from the Corners Mrs.
Drake, from the Centre Mrs. Will
Jams, from North Witham Mrs. John
son, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Cole, one after
the other, we're ushered into the sit
ting-room and begged to have a piece
of goods matched or something big or
little bought in the city. They always
knew it would be no trouble for her as
long as she was buying for herself, and
not one offered TO advance the money
for the purchase.
After supper on Wednesday evening
Hannah wrote out her list in full. She
was studying it, little amused and
very much vexed, when her mother
entered.
ma, I've been counting up" she
said.
''Waal !"
''The things am requested by the
neighbors to buy amount, at a rough
guess, to $3.50. They would easily fill
three trunks, and the work of hunting
for them would occupy me at least
four days Not one has offered me
cent in advance or the money to pay
expressage. 1 have just $50 and two
days to spend in the city"
'I told you so-I told you So"
"What could 1 do? l should have
offended every one of them if had
put the case to them as it is.
''Waal, what air you going to do?
You're in for it, you see.
'Im not going-that's what I'll do
about it. Well buy our winter dresses
at Blake's, as the rest of Witham will
for all me. The next time / make up
my mind to go to New York not soul
in Witham will know it till am gone,
if you please, ma"
Mrs Goodrich did please. When
Hannah went early the next spring
even Mrs. Downing was not told till
the last moment, and then it was be-
tause Hannah changed her name to
Downing the day she went, and was as
pleased as before, of course, to under
take any commissions for Jerry's

Says the New York Sun; The re-
port of the Civil Service Commission
shows that women are going into civil
service in larger numbers than ever,
and that there is comparative decrease
in the number of men who are now en-
tering the executive departments.
There is no great reason to regret that
such is the case. The pay that the
average Government clerk receives is
by no means enormous for man of
ability, while the work is of n kind that
most women can do easily and well. A
department clerkship ought not to
tempt any young man of enterprise
and talent, but many such have buried
both qualities in the dispiriting routine

"It has passed into proverb that
racing is the sport of kings it can with
truth be stated" declares Outing 'that
trotting is the international equine
sport of the American people Il is
true that in New York, Chicago and n
few Southern cities the thoroughbred
hourishes while the trotter does not,
but throughout the balance of the
country and in the Dominion of Canada.
trotting and its relative gait, pacing,
provide the popular and universal sport.
II is natural that it should be so, for
while it gratities that love for equine
contests which is n leading character
istic of the Anglo-Saxon race, it also
appeals to the patriotism and the utili-
tarianism of the American nature. The
trotter is an American production. He
is grand and distinct type or branch
of the equine family. BY the applica-
tion of the laws of selection, trfining
and development, the American breeder
has evolved n perfect trotting race as
superior to its original crude elements
as the thoroughbred of to-day is to the
parent horse of the desert"
