goitre or in eruptions Of varied forms.
Attacking the mucous membrane it may
be known as catarrh, or developing in
the lungs it may be. and often is the
prime cause OF consumption.

Miss PoI!arG's Dresses.

The Washington Post says: Miss
Pollard, now famous throughout the
length and breadth of the land,
possesses to such an extent the fond
ness for dress that it amounts to
almost an eccentricity. All her
gloves, shoes, and corsets are made
to order and have been since she was
a girl, living at home, and being
supported by her fathers earnings
as a harness maker. In these details
of dress she is intensely, ridiculously
particular, and the tailors and shoe
makers of the city, probably aided
by a lively imagination, tell very in
teresting stories of this character
istic A G-street shoenan who claims
to have made her shoes during one
of her previous stays in Washington
tells with appropriate gestures and
q convincing manner of how she at
one time threw a pair of shoes at his
manly form and refused to take them
back because they were lined with
light satin instead of yellow satin, as
she had ordered.

Paint and Whi.ewash.

The most profitable economy of which

at Birmingham toward the organi-

was suggested that they call them

A Song Written for Town Topics, n VI
O, the boys are on the march,
And our heartssare stiff as starch,
For we're going to capture Washington
today;
And the Army that's of Peace
Doesn't need no aXle-grease
Or no beacon-light to guide it on its way
CHORUS.
Tramp! tramp tramp! the boys are march
ing,
Cheer up, Coxey, let 'er go
We can tramp all day, we swear,
With our stomachs full of air,
And if thirsty rub our noses in the snow
Ev'ry tramp and ev'ry bum
Betwixt here and kingdom come,
Is all ioyfully aswelling of our ranks;
And no mortal ever knew
Such an ache for Irish stew
As is yearning in our eager, empty tanks
CHORUS
Tramp. tramp! tramp. the boys are march
ing!
Cheer up, Coxey, do not shirkl
When we reach the White House doors
There'll be angry snorts and roars,
From the threats OF guys who never liked
to work.

In Search of Novelties

The requirements OF concern of
such extraordinary magnitude as the
Adam Forepaugh Shows make it nee
essary for them to keep at least one
agent constantly in search Of novelties
in the Old World, and his task is
never ended. 1t is, of course, an eror-
mously expensive undertaking TO keep
this agent employed, but it has to be
done. Correspondence with him is
maintained altogether by Geographic
cable, as any sort of novelty would es-
cape him if he had to wait upon the
mails for auyices. At times it be-
comes necessary to have several. The
result of their iabors during the past
year will be seen here when they ex-
hibit on May 1st.

As long as railroads are permitted

and are used by their managers for
speculative purposes, or other per-

are used with regard only to the in
terests of stockholders, they are not
performing their proper functions,
and they will not serve their real
pupose until they become in fact

Newspaper and Party

Az to Senator Ransom, if it be the
duty Of the Democratic press to keep
silent when the party's will has been
deiiled by one of it's servants, as IL
has been by him, then we have mis-
interpreted the obligation which a
party newspaper owes to the party.
That would be the course of a per
sonal, not a party, organ. And If it
be warfare upon Senator Ransom
or any other prominent Democrat"
entrusted by the Democratic party
of North Carolina with the carrying
out of his wishes in Congress, to con-
denim those who, like that Senator,
have slapped the North Carolina
part of the party in the face by vot-
ing to repeal the purchase clause of
the Sherman law and to confirm the
nondescript Van Allen, the mug
wump Hornblower aud the bolter
Peck ham-if that be "warefare,"
then the "enemy" will have to make
