that he had been very much i'm

that his object was not marriage.
but that his family, which con-
sists of himself, some sons and q
daughter, had been quite i'll for
some time and that he wanted
a housekeeper, but not a wife.
Mr.. Love, since the letter
written to Mayor Swift. of Chica,

nearly 500 letters from ladies in
response to the advertisement,

man preferred to wait until the
excitement prevailing at present
subsidies.
The gentleman is not anxious
to marry and has only answered
two of the numerous letters re.
ceived. He receives a pension of
$12 per month and in case some
lady should attain his hand and
outlive him. she would receive
this monthly installment as long
as she remained his widow. This
is probably one reason why so
many letters have found their
way to Mr.. Love.

No trouble is more common or more

organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspcptics often do not nave
any pain whatever in the stomach. nor
nrrhnps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much

eases the heart palpitates and is lrreSu-

The republican party are wont to blus-
ter Il good deal about the "yigor" of their
foreign policy, and Mr.. sherman has taken
up the cry. The democracy, on the other
hand. has always been modest and quiet
about foreign policy, and yet all the
valuable acquisitions. except Alaska, have
been acquired by a democratic policy I'M

value Of the Alaskan acquisition is still
tentative. Louisianaand all the vast north
west were acquired by Jefferson, and Cal

rich with mineral wealth was acquired
by james *. Polk, democratic prcsi-
dent.

1t is now estimated that the extra Scs-
sion of the Fifty-tifth congress may not
be convened before the first Monday i'll
April as the Dingley bill will not be sutii-
cicntly complete to offer to congress he
fore that time. This, however. is con-
lecture, and made perhaps by those who
do not take into consideration the fact
that the house of representatives has to
be organized, and sometimes il takes
months to elect speaker, although at
present it appears that Mr.. Reed will re-
ccive the nomination of the republican
caucus without an opponent, and the dem
ocrats are not strong enough TO make a
contest for the speakership. although they
will honor some member with compli-
mentary vote. The probability now
seems to be that Mr.. Bailey of Texas will
be the recipient of that compliment, and
receive the democratic nomination for
speaker.

The secret of the original revolt in
Crete has leaked out. 1t was the rapaci-
~ and peculation of Turkish officials on
that island that started the embers of
revolution into flame. The gendarmery
were not paid and they became clamor-
Gus for their pay, and finally mutinous.
1t now turns out that the Turkish ofii-
Gals at Canea had plenty of money to
pay the gendarmery and money intended
for that purpose, but they knew a trick
or two that paid them better than that
they kept the money in their pockets
for their own purposes, and although this
seems small matter, it is perhaps the
original cause of the uprising in Crete.
1t will be remembered that about year
ago deficit of $4,000 was discovered
in the Cretan budget, and the sultan re
fused to reimburse Crete for the thefts
of the officials sent there by him. 1t
finally eliminated in revolution, the re-
suit of which will probably make the
sultan deeply regret that he did MT send
honest officials to Crete.

it is to object TO presidential election
