Yhe Appetite
Hay be increased, ths Dij-estlvo organs
strengthened, and the bowels regulated,
by taking Ayer's Pills. These Pills aro
purely vegetable in their composition.
They contain neither calomel nor any
other dangerous drug, and may be taken
with perfect safety by persons of all ages.
I was a great sufferer from Dyspepsia
ami Constipation. I had no appetite,
and was constantly afflicted with Head
ache and Dizziness. I consulted our
family doctor, who prescribed for me, at
virions times, without affording moro
than temporary relief. I finally com
menced taking Ayer's Pills. In a 3hort
time my digestion and appetite
IMPROVED
my bowels were regulated, and, by tho
timo I finished two boxes of these Pills
my tendency to headaches had disap
peared, and I became strong and well.

BY USING
three boxes of Ayer's Pills, and at the
same time dieting myself, I was com
pletely cured. My digestive organs aro
now in good order, and I am in perfect
health. P. Lockwood, Topeka, Ivans.
Ayer's Pills have benefited me wonder
fully. For months I suffered from Indi
gestion and Headache, was restless at
night, and had a bad taste in my mouth
every morning. After taking one box
of Ayer's Pills, all these troubles dis
appeared, my food digested well, and
my sleep was refreshing. Henry C.
Uemmenway, Rockport, Mass.
I was cured of the Piles by tho use of
Ayer's Pills. They not only relieved me
of that painful disorder, but give me in
creased vigor, and restored my health.

The Century's Eise of Wages.
Discussing wages ic oneo his
lectures before the students of
Harvard university, Professor
Thompson gives many facts of cu
rious interest. In 1793 the Schuyl
kill and Susquehanna Canal com
pany advertised for workmen, of
fering $5 a month for the winter
months, and $4 for summer with
board and lodging. Next year
there was a debate in the house of
representatives which brought out
the fact that soldiers got but $3 a
month. A Vermont member dis
cussing the proposal to raise it to
$4, said that in his state men were
hired for 18 a year, or 4 a month
with board and clothing. Mr.
"Wadsworth, of Pennsylvania, said:
"In the states north of Penusyl
vania the wages of the common
laborer are not upon the whole su
perior to those of the common sol
dier." In 1797 a Rhode Island
farmer hired a good farm hand at
$3 a month, and $5 a month was
paid to those who got employment
for the eight busy months of the
farmer's year. A strong boy
could be hired at that time in
Connecticut for SI a month
through these months, and he
earned it by working from day
break until eight or nine o'clock
at night. He could buy a coarse
cotton shirt with tho earnings of
three such months. The farmer
could pay no better, for the price
they cot for produce was wretch
ed. Butter sold at 8 cents a pound,
and when it rose suddenly
to 10 cents several farmers' wives
and daughters went out of their
minds with excitement. Women
picked the wool off the bushes and
briers where the sheep had left it,
and spun and knit it into mittens
to earn 1 a year by this toilsome
business. Ihey hired out as
help for 25 cents a month and their
board. 13y a day's hard work at
the spinning wheel a woman and a
girl together could earn 12 cents.
As late as 1821 the best farm
hands could be had for 25 cents a
day, or twice as much in mowing
time. Matthew Carey, in his let
ters on the charities of Philadel
phia (1827), gives a painful picture
of the working class at that time.
Every avenue to employment was
choked with applicants. Men lpft
the cities to find work on the ca
nals at from GO to 75 cents a d.iy
and to encounter the malaria, which
laid them low in numbers. The
highest wages paid to women was
25 cents a day, and even the
women who made clothes for the
arsenal was paid by the govern
ment at no higher rates. "When
he ladies of the city begged for
an improvement of this rate the
secretary hesitated lest it should
disarrange the relations of capital
and labor throughout the city.
Poor people died of cold and want
every winter in the city, and the
facts seem to have made an im
pression only on benevolently dis
posed persons like Mr. Care-.
Ladies will find relief from headache,
eostiveness, swimming in the iead,
colic, sour stomach, restlessness, indi
gestion, constant or periodical head
aches, weakness in the back or kidneys,
pain in the shoulders and different parts
o tho body, a feelinR of Jassitude and
despondency by taking Simmons Liver
Regulator. It is not mi pleasant, is pure
ly vegetable, and is not injurious to the
most delicate constitution.
The Pope to Move.
PiTTSBURfi, Pa., Sept. 1. Rev.
Father Shuck, pastor of St. Mary's
church at Millhausenn, I ml., who
was in the city to-day, has just re
turned from Rome where he had
audience with the pope.
He says in an interview: "I
have positive information that the
pope willlnot remain in Rome more
than two years more, and I expect
he will have to leave here in the
next few months. He will go to
Spain where he is invited, and is
sure of a cordial reception. The
headquarters of the Catholic
church will then be located at
Madrid. Even now preparations
are being made for his departure,
that is liable to take place at any
moment"
For bilious fever and malarial
disorders, use Ayer's Ague Cure.
Its success is guaranteed il taken
according to directions.
Ignatius Donnelly, who went to
London to get his book on the Bacon-Shakespeare
cipher theory
copyrighted, claims to have con

Back Prom the War at Last.
Miles Kennedy, who left here
for the war as a confederate soldier
June 11th, 1861, returned to
Americus this morning, bringing
with him a wife and eight chil
dren. Two were left in Virginia,
where he married the girl who
nursed him in 186G, and where
he has lived ever since. He came
through from Orange court house,
Virginia, with his family in an ox
cart. He was met by a brass band
and a procession formed and
marched from the edge of the
city to the old court house
square, where a tent had been
erected. Col. Cutts made a speech
of welcome and presented a roll
of money from the people of
Americus". A Dair of twins, six
years old, but as yet nameless,
were named Jackson anu i,ee by
Mrs. .T. R. Hull. Kennedy Droba-
bly is the last confederate soldier
to return from the war, having
hflfin irnne twentv-seven vears.

Mr. Gladstone says that he can
hold out no hope that he will be
able to take nart in anv political
work after tho settlement of the
Irish question. His one aim in
life is to secure home rule for Ire
land. That done, he bcliecs his
public work will be ended.
The "Wendish nationality in
Prussia and Saxony is reported to
