To Cure When the
voice is lost, as is sometimes the case,
from the effect of cold s simple, pleas
ant remedy is furnished by beating
up the white of one egg, adding to 1t
the juice of one lemon, and sweeten-
ing with white sugar TO the taste.
Take atea-spoOnful from timeto time.

the ailment.


A Pleasant Cough Candy.-Take
two tumblers. In one place gill OF
dax-seed fill the other with broken
bits Of slippery-elm barS T; fill both
tumblers with boiling water, and
leave standing for two hours. In q
saucepan place one and q half pounds
of brown sugar. Strain into it through
muslin all The liquid that will pour
from the two tumblerfulls Of bark and
f1axsesd. TransferIto the fire, and stir
until the candy seems upon the point
of turning back to sugar. When this
is seen to be the case, pour out Instant

cold. This candy is surprisingly
pleasant to the taste, and found bene-
ficial, especially in the case of pub

voice while suffering from hoarseness.

harmless application, said unfaIling-

It was not until after dark that we
sighted the lights of Barcelona the
frigate was brought to, and it was not
until eight o'clock that we entered
the harbor. All was now hustle on
the ship. The officers emerged from
their cabins and came upon deck in
all the glory of their finest uniforms
and the quarterback was soon crowd
ed with brilliant group. Presently


q gayly-dressed steamer was seen to
leave the quay and approach the frig-
ate. On board of her were the Coun-
Gil and municipality of Barcelona, and
the now famous General Martinez
Campos, who first proclaimed the
young Kl whom ne was now COM
ing to welcome to his kingdom. No
sooner had this deputatiOn reached
the frigate than they were ushered
below, where, in the principal cabin
the King was waiting to receive
them. Fifteen minutes afterward the
word was passed that His Majesty
was about to come on deck. The ma
rines were drawn up on one side of
the deck, and the crew on the other;
the officers of the vessel and of the
Kings suite ranged themselves to-
gether in the center, fronting the door
through which he was to make his
appearance. He came, and from the


throats of all issued q loud cry of
HViva p The King was dressed in
the uniform of Spanish General a
blue coat with gold buttons, red trous-
ers, boots coming up to his knees, and
gold-laced cap. Upon his breast
was the Star of Charles III. the badge
of the Order of the Golden Fleece, and
his slim waist was girt about with a
crimson sash. He wore no sword, but
carried in his hand a small cane.
1t was brilliant scene that the young
King looked upon-his first sight,
since his exile, of his kingdom. In
| the background are the brown aud
rugged hills of Barcelona; before them
are the white houses of the city; on
the quays the people are eongregated +:
the 'harbor is full of vessels, their yards
dressed with innumerable flags, and
over all bends the sweet blue sky. A
signal given from the frigats informs
the gunners of the fortress that His
Majesty has come on deck we see q
red flash and cloud Of white smoke,
and now the guns of the guns of the
fortress and those of the frigste join
in q salute which, for few moments,
stuns the ears and wraps the whole
scene in smoke. As the smoke clears
away the sailors man the yards and
make all echo again with their "Vi-
vas )" and the frigste begins to slow
ly turn her wheels and to steam to-
wards the quay. Presently she comes
to anchor and now the moment for
Observation-Disclosures arrived. The Cap
tain's gig is brought to the side /; the
,eking enters.it; the band strikes up the
royal march the men let their oars
fall into the water, and in five min
utes the King is standing on the
shore Of Spain, welcomed with burst
Of cheering that echoed over the wa
ter, and was taken up and repeated by
the crowds that lined the streets and

To ALL, particularly invalids, spring is trying
season. Indications of sickness should at once be
attended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by al
lowing the bowels to become corstipated, and the
system to remain in disordered condition until
the disorder has time to develop itself. An ounce
of preventive is worth pound of cure, Is an old
and truthful saying. Therefore, we advise all who
troubled with the complaints now very prevalent
headache, indigestion, disordered liver, want Of
appetite Nausea, feverish skin, to take, without
delay, Schenck's Mandrake Pills. We know Of no
remedy harmless and decisive IN Its action 1t at
strikes at the reot of the disease and produces

suffer from any disease arising from disordered
condition of the liver If they would take this excel


lent medicine when they feel the first indications
of the malady. Families leaving home for the
summer months should take three or four boxes of
these pills with them. They have an almost in
st. ntaneous effect. They will relieve the patient OF
headache in one or two hours, and will rapidly
cleanse the liver OF surrounding bile, and will effec
tually prevent bilious attack. They are sold by

The New York Herald inteprets the
recent Republican victories to mean
anything but an endorsement of the
Republican party. There is more in
this than appears at first glance. One
year ago the Republicans were re-
buked with signal defeat in number
Of States. This was an unmistakable
sign that the people had lost confidence
in the Administration party. The
vote few days ago cannot be regarded
as evidence that confidence I'm that or
ganization has been restored. If we
read the result Alright its significance
is that the people are not yet ready to
place implicit confidence in the DEM
Ocratic party. In other words, it
means that full reliance is not placed
in either of the great parties. The
Herald takes the ground that the peo-
pie are ready to abandon both of the
old organizations and endorse new
party provided it could show elements
of purity and vitality worthy the con-
sideration of the masses. The edito-
rial, however, admits that there is
scarcely the shadow of chance for
such party to present itself in time
to control, or even materially affect,
the Presidential contest of next year.


1t might as well have added that the
third parity could notaffect the strug-
gle of the giants within the next five
years. The fight OF next year will be
between the Democrats and Republi-
cans, and there is scarcely doubt but
that GRANT will be the Republican
nominee for President on a platform
embodying three planks-non.inter-
ference with the public school system.
hard money and recognition of the
Cuban belligerents. And it is the
foreshadowing of this platform that


has In part brought about the equal
ization of party strength noted in the
recent election. The two parties are
now nearly equal In strength, and the
result of the Presidential race depends
not so much upon elimination and re-
elimination as upon the pledges each
party will make and the security they
will give for full redemption of those
pledges. Party name has. no more

Lads with a love of literature who
fancy that it would be a fine thing to be
a Bohemian like Savage and Chatterton
and Dermody, had better think twenty
times before they rush into any such
folly. For, in the first place, if there
were no material points to be consie-
cred, beginners should take heed of the
waste Of ability which the so-called
Bohemian life brings with it. They
will not find it pleasant at the end of a
loose and unbrideled career 20 reflect
that they might have done much and
have done so little-a few verses, tale
or 30, farce, few jokes in the comio
newspapers, and a miscellany of pen
and ink stuff forgotten in the reading.
OF course, their light performances
have creditable elements-brilliancy
perhaps, humor, good feeling, n suspi-
cion of high and honorable aspiration.
It is generous, doubtless, for a writer
to put his best into his public writing,
and to reserve his worst for his own
daily life and conversation but such
iberality comes to no good at last. Bad
habits take away the power of good
work. Without their constant COM
panionship, a man forgets what is IN the
