A BRIDE FOR THE ASKING.

Pleasant Way of Selecting a Wife Prac-
ticed In Naples.
In the church of Santa Maria Annun-
ziata, at Naples, girls assemble once a
year for the purpose of being chosen
in marriage. On the day of Our Lady,
before it's altar kneels a silent row of
20 girls dressed in black, and with
folded hands. They are orphans of the
neighboring founding asylum, and
cnce a year those who have reached
the age of 1S have i chance of being
chosen in marriage by any honest man
whose character is good.
AT the door leading to the sacristy,
says the Richmond Star, stands a
gray-haired priest, the head of the
founding institution. BY and by a
young man approaches him and hands
him packet of papers. These the
priest reads carefully, and, being sat.
isfed, leads the candidate toward the
row of girls. The man walks slowly
along the row-at last he stops; his
choice is made, and he stretches out his
hand. The girl rises, puts out her hand
into that of the stranger by way of
consent, and together they disappear
into the sacristy. The ice having been
broken others follow, and this goes on
until the suitors are exhausted, or all
the girls have been chosen.

gether with an intimation of his
willingness to accept the italian mis-
sion in case of Mr.. Cleveland's cleo
tion, was subsequently appointed 10
that office, but finally declined to
accept it on account of the n-isun-
derstanding Which had arisen as to
his motives in contributing con-
siderable sum of money to the cam
paign fund.
It will be remembered also that
just previous to Mr.. Van Aliens act
of renunciation several high minded
gentlemen, to whom Mr.. Cleveland's
conservation was very serious and
precious matter, resolved that Mr..
Van Aliens money ought to be re-
turned 10 him as a condition prece
dent to his withdrawal, and prompt
ly made liberal contributions to a
fund for that purpose, thus estab-
fishing rule of procedure in SINH
lar cases which is not in the slightest
degree invalidated by the circum-
stance that the fund was never com
pleted, and that Mr.. Van Allen did
not, so far as is known, choose to
accept the installment which they
had collected from one another.

Agent.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hal's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun-
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The propuetors have SO much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of

None But Ayers at the Worlds Fair.
Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the worlds fair, Chicago. Manufact-
urers of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
goods, but they were all turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
worlds fair authorities in favor of Ayers
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows !:
ayers Sarsaparilla is not patent
medicine. It does not belong to the
list of nostrums. It is here on its
merits"
If there is any one thing that needs
to be purified, it is politics, so the re-
former says, and many agree thereto.
But blood tells, and as blood purifier
and liver corrector Simmons Liver Reg
ulator is the best medicine. ST use it in
preference to any other. $50 wrote Mr..
5. H. Hysell, of Middleport. Ohio. And
