A Common Practice.

It's quite common for some trades people
TO persuade a customer TO take some other
article instead of that called for Il is
sometimes called substitution, but it's
cheating the customer out Of that which
he wanted. 1t is always done for mean
motive. The dealer who does this has no
consideration for his customer. It's like
getting rid Of something in which the
dealer himself was swindled, and yet he
must get his money out Of it by deceiving
the customer. We say TO the readers of
this Journal that when you ask for Sim
mons Liver Regulator don't take anything
else instead-it's the best liver medicine.
The advertising is increasing the demand
for it, and the people who call for it should
get it, especially so because there is no
liver medicine like Simmons Liver Regu-
lator. Insist upon having it, and note that
the Red Z is on the front of the package.

Dynamite in war.

The failure of the dynamite cruiser
Vesuvius was due in a very great meas
ure to the fact that her projectiles could
not be depended upon to explode at the
right time. or in fact to explode at all.
There was the want Of an accurate and
reliable detonator. During the tests at
Port Royal the guns threw the proiectiles
with fair degree of accuracy, but many
of them failed to explode, even where
they were fired into the sand.
1t appears that during the interval be-
tween the Vesuvius' tests at Port ROYAL
and the present there has been consider
able progress made in the matter of hurl-
ing dynamite from guns in such manner
that, while there is little danger of an
explosion at the point from which the
projectile starts its flight, there is pretty
certain to be most disastrous explo-
sion at the point where it meets with
obstruction. a series Of experiments with
dynamite shells have been going on for
some time at San Francisco, which port
is defended in part with dynamite guns.
The experiments are said to have been
perfectly successful. The shells were
thrown for distanc Of three miles. and
upon their impact with the wa
ter they exploded. An explosion
in the water in close proximity
to a ship is more than apt to do damage,
hence the Importance Of having a de-
tonator that viii start the work of de-
struction upon very Slight provocation.
and at the same time be level-headed
enough to avoid starting it too soon.
The great guns of some of the foreign
navies are said to be capable of throw
ing projectiles twelve miles. Theoretical
ly. therefore, ships armed with such guns
would be able to remain out of range of
the san Francisco dynamite guns and
pound their works to pieces at leisure.
But in practice the probabilities are that
the twelve-mile guns could not be depend
ed upon. at so great a range, to do accu-
rate shooting. If the object aimed at
were hit, it would most likely be
merely by chance. To make their fire
effective, the ships would be obliged to
get considerably nearer to the enemy than
twelve miles; and if they were to reduce
the intervening space to the range Of
the dynamiters. they would find them.

A Woman's Insistence.

Two pretty young women entered
large uptown grocery one evening last
week. says the Philadelphia Press. From
their conversation ii was evident that
they belonged to some boarding school
in the neighbOrhood, and had stolen out
for a few moments TO buy dalntieS which
they meant to smuggle to their rooms.
There's one thing l don't like about
the clerks in this store said one of them,
while they waited for the salesman, and
that's the way they insist on telling you
that you don't want what you do want
and that you do want what you don't
want Every time / come in here l have
the same experience, and I'm just tired
of it, The next time it happens I'm going
to tell the clerk just what 1 think of
him."
At that moment a clerk approached and
asked the young women what they want
ed. The one who had so much to COM
plain about pointed at once to row of
cracker tins and said:
Il want pound of those"
''Oh. no, you don't said the clerk,
suaveiy you want some Of these, or
these here; they're all very nice"
The young woman threw d glance which
said "What did / tell your at her com
panion, and turning to the clerk, said
mo. 1 don't, anything of the kind. 1
want these and no others.
Il beg your pardon he began 1
'Neever mind what you thought" said
the young woman, Il guess know what
I want. Now just let me have pound
of those, please" and she turned to her
companion with a look of triumph on her
face which plainly meant, Didn't 1
squelch him?"
livery well, madame" said the clerk,
humbly, but may l ask whether they
are for yourself?"
well of all the impertinent ques-
tons" began the other young woman,
when her companion interrupted, and,
turning TO the clerk said:
why do you askY
'Oh, because they are dog biscuit" re-
piled the clerk, indimerently. Still, of
course, if you want them you can have
them"
Never mind" faltered the young wo-
man who had insisted on having what
she wanted. II guess l don't want any
thing at all" and she strutted out of
the store, looking very much ashamed,
and followed by her companion, who was
struggling to hide her laughter.
The clerk didn't say anything. but there
was a satisfied smile on his face as he
banged the cover down on the can of
dog biscuit and walked away to wait on
another customer

Republican Co,rardlce.
From the Philadelphia Ledger Und

The republican majority in the House
seems to be as little inclined to put the
finances of the country on a sound basis
as a band of populists would be. Alarmed
by the opposition in their own party to
project for the definite retirement of the
mischievous greenbacks, the majority of
the committee on ways and means adopted
an amendment especially providing that
the greenbacks should not be retired, but
that the cause of the depletion OF the gold
reserve should be kept active. If the re-
publican majority in the House dare not
vote for sound money, there is little hope
OF getting relief from any source until
few more disastrous experiments with the
cnrrencY have been tried

1t has not been long since a prominent
populist speaker asserted that the far
mers Of Georgia were already under a
sort Of sixteen-to-one arrangement-"six-
teen mortgages TO one mule" The Morn
ing News took occasion at the time to de-
nounce the SANDER upon the farmers. and
to say that the farmers of Georgia were
comparatively free from mortgage incum-
brances. It is learned that in Gwinnett
county only ten mortgages have been fore
closed from Jan. l. 1885. to the week just
ended. And there are probably few. if
any. counties in the state that cannot
show as good a record.

The administration seems to be working
mighty hard to make itself unpopular with
the government employees in Washington.
In the good old times, under republican adj
ministrations. about all that the clerks had
to do was to keep from falling over
each other during work hours-about
six hours day. And they had every hol-
iday in the catalogue, and on an average
of about one haf-holiday a week Under
Cleveland, however they have been re-
quired to work eight hours a day, and
Candlemas. st. Patrick's day, Bunker Hill
day. Old Christmas. and a few other hol-
days have been cut out. 1t used to be
said that all a young man needed to fiji
a government clerkship in Washington
was a full dress suit and an unlimited
amount OF cheek. That time is past-at
least so long as the democrats are IN
control of affairs.

Is what people troubled with rheumatic
symptoms can fairly expect, if they take
no efficient means to check the rapidly
growing malady which, it should never
be forgotten, has tendency to attack
the heart and terminate lite. The testi-
mony, public and professional, is over
whelmingly convincing and concurrent
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is both
a sovereign preventive and curative of
rheumatism It completely expurgates
from the blood the acrid principle which,
attacking the tissues surrounding the
joints and muscles, cause such exquisite
pain. The Bitters promotes the action
of the kidneys, bladder, stomach and
bowels, and remedies malaria, nervous

worked with more vigor than they have
been during the last century, and the
minis are coming the bullion as fast as
they can. The dollars so coined are the
standard money of the country, and be-
ing plenty afford encouragement to the
development of the dormant resources
of the country and the manufacture
of many commodities which were
imported before the advance in gold and
by this means give employment to these
artisans, and thus keeping the money in
the country instead of sending it abroad
has made the country more prosperous
from the Rio Grande to the Pacific
Ocean since the depreciation of silver
than at any time within many years.
Six years ago gold brought only per cent
premium, and for two years was quoted
from 8 to 90 per cent. premium. During
these two years, thepoor of Mexico were
in a worse condition, owing to the stag
nation of all kinds of business, than they
have been at any time since, when the
premium has been steadily rising"
''Are you interested in Mexico min
ing"
ayes sir, in Mexico gold mining, and
if spoke from selfish standpoint l
should be what is known as a
gold bug, but / look at this mat
ter from broader and more
liberal standpoint. The mines in
which I am interested in Mexico are gold
mines with only now and then a small
percentage of silver, but this fact does
not tempt me to make an erroneous
statement as to the condition of Mex
lean finances and business interests"
The advantages enjoyed by Mr.. Herman
during his six years almost continuous
sojourn in Mexico, his position and his
business bringing him in direct contact
with the leading men in that Republic,
makes the above views as expressed by
him very interesting reading, and I re-
spectfully commend them to the consid-
Grafton of those who are so solicitous
over the condition of our silver sister.
