a scarcity of what is vulgarly known
as "tin," the other that lie was too
busy "heaving up Jonah at some alley

George was in his own proper person
a "bowid soger boy," but the duties of
a soldier disagreed with liini to such nil
extent that ju-t before a baltle he used
to get awful sick at the stomach and
wanted "to go home tit sec inu.''
Finally, he resigned his commission

went home. Our advice to Captain
George is to put more molasses in his

Dear Editor:
In last week's number of the Ad
vocate, I noticed under the head of
"Communications,'' that a certain
person who subscribes himself with
an asterisk, is greatly grieved because
the Lutherans have cut down all the
"beautiful shade trees'' on their church
property. All the apology the Luth
erans have to is this, that it would ap
pear as though a "commission 'de
lunatico Inqitirendo' ought to be ap
pointed" to ascertain whether a person
is really "compos mentis,'' who calls
two knotty pine trees witli their roots
running over "all creation and a part
of York State," a soft maple with
half the bark off, almost the shape of
an ox-bow, and a beech tree ringed for
a number of years already, decaying
and half dead, "beautiful shade trees. '
As for light, the Lutherans have an
"abundant sufficiency" since the
"beautiful shade trees" are cut down,
and have therefore uo need whatever
to take the roof off their church. No
doubt if the Lutheraus would sound
a trumpet before them, it would be
much more satisfactory for very in
quisitive persons. Moral, "don't
bowl before you are hurt."

MA RV Ct.EMMKK'S LETTER.
To the New Vork Independent,
contalnfi lonjr and very Interesting
account of the Innuriral cere m tnles,
and her description of the procession
pikIh wild tnw -ipleiided compliment
to the Pennaylvnnia mtldien
But In all thetirorgeouikaleldo-tcope
of weviiim plurnen and flushlnif color
the palm of approbation must be (riven
to the eight thou-and Pcnnsylvanlans,
who looked the "common soldier."
They were the men who seemed to be
niarchliiir oit of the past, out, of days
of stress nnd struzirle, whn to be a
soldier meant the wastln r march, the
fiery battle, the deadly wound, the
dreadful dying of heroic death for
one'n country! They It was who
bromjht back to me a Pennsylvania
reiriment made of the flower of youth
that lontr ao I watched wate and die
In Virginia. Nearly a score of years!
Ann here were eight 'thousand more
hloomlna men from the snme State,
dressed simply in army blue, with
knapsack, musket, -blanket not an
ornament, and yet militia! Ilo'ior to
the Keystone State, who within
twenty-four bourn can turn into the
enpltal of the nation one-third of the
number of the whole Reirular Army;
an army in itself Of fully equipped,
perfectly drilled-soldiers, so soldierly
in discipline and henrinar that even
rtcsrnlar A rrfiy officers cannot distin
truished iheni from their lona-trnlned
men . An army in itself! One uaes
upon it. and is sure that the State it
reprsens Is invincible. Massachu
setts is said to be the only common
wealth that approaches Pennsylvania
In a settled system for its militia that
turns out men trained to flaht. nm
not mere military dandies, dressed for
show parade. Even masculine mil
linery is pleasant to behold; but it was
the "common soldier." in his honest
blanket nnd leather iraiters. his knap
sack on his hack, his bayonet trlenm-in-r
above his head, that bromrht the
tears for the past, the faith for the
future, and the storm of f bouts from
the people.
THE PENNSYLVANIA DIVISION.
The Pennsylvania Division in the
irrand procession on inauguration day
was a remarkable feature of that great
paireant. It surprised all beholders
alike by its numerical strength and
the admirable discipline which It ex
hibited. To all military observers it
was a source of especial gratification.
Had the 8.010 men who composed it
been arrayed in dress uniform thev
miirht li'ive presented a more brilliant
appearance; but c'othed in the regular
uniform, with overcoat, knapsacks
and blankets, they presented the aii
I us ranee of an army reidy for active
service, an I showe I that in c ue of
ua-ioiial necessity the Keystone State
could send an efFective body of well
eipiippcd and disciplined troops at an
instant's notice to reinforce our Regu
lar Armv. We con jT.ttu'iite th-; Statu
of Pennsylvania on this splendid ex
hibition of its military forces, an I we
know that we express the feelings of
all the officers of the Regular Army
who were present in Washington in
so doing. We believe no one looked
at the Pennsylvania I roups witli more
pleasure than General Sherman him
self. He felt that here was a body of
citizen soldiery admirably officered
and equipped, who could, if event re
fjuircd it, be marched immediately
under lire, and who could lie depended
upon to obey bis orders. The same is
true of Adj. Gen. Drum, who said to
the editor of the Itcy'iKler tills week:
"You cannot say too much in praise of
the Pennsylvania trnoiie. That divis
ion could have been marched out of
the procession and taken directly into
a campaign. It shows what can be
done by intelligent efforts for tho im
provement of the stale mi, ilia. I was
stationed for years in Phila
delphia as Assistant Adj. Gen. with
Mead, and I know (Jen. lUrti-.inft ami
the other leading officers of the State
well. They have worked long an. I
patiently to perfect their organization,
ami have shown great wisdo u in
what they have done.' They had their
e-iiiiiimenis manufactured by the
Quarter master's Department of the
Army, ami in that way obtained the
best quality of equipments, uniform
with those of the Regular Army, at
cost prices. I believe that the cx-
timiile of Pennsylvania is one that, if
followed, will lead to great improve
ments in our National militia."
Gen. Meigs also ex pressed great ad
miration for the Pennsylvania
troops. Army and Navy HeyMer.
Choked to Death by an Oyster.
A strange accident happened hi.sl
week in Jackson, Miss. Thomas S.
Wharton, Jr., Deputy United States
Revenue Collector, son of Judge T. J.
Wharton, of that place, ami W. II.
Bailey, sou of the lute Judge Bailey, of
Canton, entered a restaurant, and
Wharton called tor taw oysters. Soon
arter Hie tabic had been spread, Whar
ton holding up a largo oyster on Ids
tork's prongs, good naturedly re
marked : "This is the kind of oyster
Walker Brooks choked to deatli on."
"Well, Tom, I hope that one will not
hurt you," as pleasantly replied Mr.
Bailey, and scarcely had these words
esc.iiH.'d Ids lips when, without other
converse, he arose and walked to u
buck entrance. A waiter standing
near the door cried out in alarm, "The
gentleman is choking!-' Wharton
jumped up and ran to him, and after
trying all the conventional remedies
of relief known to him without avail,
rushed wildly into the street in search
of a physician. Before bis return,
however, Mr. Bailey's life had passed
beyond the recall of human skill.

taught the American public, and
other people of good sense throughout
the w irld, to despise pretense and
humbug whether exhibited by mon
arch or menial. Sensible people who
want a good book at an honest price
will buy it where they lind it. There
is in this country no law which gives
to a foreign author, as it gives to an
American, the right of the monopoly of
the pub ic.tt ion of his book. If pub
Ushers choose to pay a foreign author
anything, they can do it only as a
"donation," because lie can give them
In return no protection from compe
tition. Readers have the privilege of
making such donation, if they choose
to do so without paying it to the pub
Ushers and trusting to the possibility
of their paying it to the author for
them. There is no donation included
iu the price above named. Readers
who want to combine a possible dona
tion, and a positive price, can get an
edition of this same book from other
publishers at from two to eight times
the price. Address for catalogue

Cheerful Women.
In marrying, men should seek
happy women, They make a terrible
mistake when they marry for beauty,
for talent or for style. The sweetest
wives are those who possess the magic
secret of being luppy under any or
every circumsluuce. Rich or poor,
hlfeh or low, it makes no difference,
the bright little ' fountain of joy
bubbles up just us musically in their
hearts. Nothing ever goes wrong
with them; no trouble is too serious
for them "to make the best of it.1'
Was ever the stream of calamity so
dark and deep that the sunlight of a
happy face across its turbid tide would
not awake an answering gleam? Why,
these joyous tempered people don't
know half the good they do. No
matter how cross and crabbed you feel,
no matter if your mind is full of med
itations on "afflicting dispensations,'
and your stomach with niedicines.pills
and tonics, just get one of those cherry
little women talking to yon, and we
are not afraid to wager anything that
she can cureycu. The long drawn line
about your mouth will relax, the cloud
of settled gloom will vanish, nobody
knows where, and the flrst thing you
know you are laughing. Ah! wnat
a blessing are these happy women !
How often their little hands guide
the ponderous machinery of life with
almost mi invisible touch! No one
knows, no one will ever know, until
the day of judgment reveals, how
much we owe to those hopeful, un
complaining, happy women.
How to get Sick.
Expose yourself day and night, eat
too much without exercise; work too
hard without rest; doctor all the time;
takeallthc vile nostrums advertised;
and then you will want to know
How lo get Well.
Which is answered in three words
Take Hop Bitters! See other column.--Expi

Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Be wise in
time. All baneful infections are
promptly removed by this unequalled
alterative. It is the most potent blood
purifier, ami a fountain of health and
strength.

Is it Possible
thatn remedy made of such common,
simple plants as Hops, Bucbu, Man
drake, Dandelion, etc., make so many
and such marvelous and wonderful
cures us Hop Bitters do? It must be
for when old and young r'ch and
poor, Pastor and Doctor, Lawyer and
Kditor.all testify to having been cured
by them, we must believe and doubt
uo longer. See another column, 'out.
