The marriage of Hon. Chas. S.
Voorhees, the present delegate to

place last Wednesday in Indianapolis,
Ind. He is more successful in love
than in politics.
The London Economist says: Af
ter the death of Gladstone, home rule
will have to stand on its own merits.
Gladstone's present colleagues being
inferior, nobody is able to predict
who is to succeed him. His equals
have all abandoned him.
Atublic slave market" is'in full ac
tivity in Cabul every three months,
bringing their human wares by hun
dreds from Kafristau. Girls fetch
the highest price, and are sold by
measurement of the hand, tho cost

Fbom Lloyd's return for tho quar.
ter ending September 30, 1883, it ap
pears there is a remarkable increase
in the amount of work in progress in
the ship building yards of the United
Kingdom. The number of vessels in
the course of construction is 400, as
.against 249 in'the corresponding quar
ter of last year.

A baft of piles destined for Boston
has been built at Norfolk, Ya. It is
in six sections, strongly bound to
gether, and the piles in each section
are securely fastened with wires. The
whole raft will be GOO feet long with
23 feet beam, and a draught of 7 feet,
so that it may go through tho canals
from Norfolk, whence it will bo towed
to Boston by sea.
The "silk manufactory of North

ia this country that is, it is 3,700 feet
deep and eight inches in diameter,
but at the depth of 150 feet from tho
surface a sedimentary sandstone was
struck, which continued the whole
depth, and water was never obtained.
At St. Louis there is n well 3,108 feet
deep, which yields an abundance of
sulphur water.

Bishof Foss, of the Methodist
church, was tackled a few days ago by
a prominent prohibitionist who
wished to convert him to his theories.
Finally, in desperation the prohibi
tionist said: "Well, Bishop, answer
me this question honestly and fairly,
and it we dont agree on that I'll let you
alene: Now, if you saw u mad dog in
the street, snapping at every body in
his path and dooming them to a hor
rible death, what would jon do?
Would you try to restrain hita and
capture him alive, orwonld j on not
rather shoot him dead?" "Well,"
said Df. Foss, meditatively, but with
conclusive firmness, "if I had been
blazing away at him for thirty ears
without hitting him, I don't know but
what I would try the other plan!"
The act of incorporation of the
Nicaragua Canal company passed the
legislature last Tuesday. It is tho
same aot which was introdued in tho
U. S. senate last session by Edmunds.
Acting on the advice of Edmunds
who drew the bill, tho parties inter
ested in the enterprise decided to ask
the Vermont legislature for a charter.
Several of the incorporators named in
the act are Vermonters, including
Frederick Billings and Col. Franklin
Fairbank. The gentlemen named ap
peared before a joint legislative com
mittee last week to testify concerning
the proposed measure. The promr
ters of the enterprise stated that they
were all ready to begin actual work
on the canal as soon as the charter is
obtained.
The dominant question in the
political contest just ended was the
preservation of the protective system
which has' so successfully established
the manufactures of this country by
protecting them against foreign com
petition. President Cleveland made
that the issue in his December mes
sage, and after a "vigorous discussion,
he suffered a decisive defeat by
losing all but one of the four north
era states which in 1884- helped to
elect the Democratic candidate. When
the system upon which the prosper
ity of the northern states was founded
was assailed, an irresistible tide of
public opinion aroso which over
whelmed all opposition. Tho result
is one which justifies the expressions
of joy which are heard from infant
manufactures ' in all parts of the
country, not alone in the northern
states, but in some portions of tho
south also. To be sure those por
tions of the south in favor of a pro
tective policy are not at present large
enough to enforce attention to their
needs, but they are growing in im
portance and the industrial changes
that are taking place in the south will
I before many years greatly change the
political situation in that section,
and eradicate, to a great extent, the
sectional feeling which is so much re
sponsible for that undesirable combi
nation known as the solid south.
When the manufacturing interests in
the south are properly developed the
line between the north and south will
disappear and the whole country will
be united in a community of com
mercial and manufacturing interests,
.There will be little more tariff dis
cussion in congress except as to
details of tariff revision, which may
be to tho advantage of tho conntry.
Facts which have been established by
an experience of twenty-five ypars
will not give place to theories.
Kowto Cook IlusbauiU.
Miss CorsoD Baid in the Baltimore
cooking school that a Baltimore lady
had written a receipt for "cooking hus
bands, so as to make them teudor and
good." It is as follews: "Mske a clear,
steady fire out of love, neatness nnd
cheerfulness. Sot him as near this
as seems to agree with him. If he
sputters and fizzes do not be anxious;
some husbands do this until they are
quite done. Add a little sugar in the
form of what confectioners ca!lkisso3,
but no vinegar or pepper on any ac
count. Do not stick any sharp in
strument into him to see if ho is be
coming tender. Stir him gently;
watch the while, lest he lie. too Hat
and close to the kettle and become
useless. You cannot fail to know
when ho is done. If thns treated,
you will find him digestible, agreeing
nicely with you and the children, and
he will keep as long as you want, un
less you become careless and set him
in too cold a place."
The Verdict Unanimous.
W. IX Suit, Drugcibt. Bipi.us. Ind.,
testifies: "1 can recommenil Klectric
Bitters as the very best remedy. Every
bottle sold has elven relief In every case.
One man took six bottles, and was cured

A li.alinni Unm J.tinnl.f TYnlli tlln
Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medi

experience, is Electric Bitters." Thou
