SILK manufacturing is destined to
become a leading industry in Pennsyl
vania. There are very many localit.es
in the State where these and similar
factories could be established, for the
reason that in our rural districts there
are populations which do not have as
much employment as they arc desirous
of securing. This surplus labor could
be bad at very reasonable wages, and
is of a character much more staple than
the turbulent elements massed within
and near the cities of the first and sec
ond class. A very little study of these
facts will convice capitalists of the
practical advantages to be derived
from seeking regions such as we refer
to, for the establishment of their enter

A druggist in Bangor, Maine, was re
cently aroused from his sleep late at
night by a man who wanted a little
brandy for his wife, who was very ill,
and might die if relief was not quickly
afforded. After hesitating a moment,
in fear of the penalty, the druggist's
prey overcame his prudence, and he
gave the fellow a small quantity of
brandy. Next morning he was arrested
for the violation of the law regulating
the sale of liquor. The distressed hus
band of the night before had bloomed
into an agent of a temperance society,
who informed on the kind hearted drug

A OREATLY increased demand of mut

destructive to sheep there. The Eng

thousands, whole flocks becoming ex
tinct. In seven of the Southern coun
ties, where upwards of 3,000,000
sheep have been kept, it is feared
scarcely one-fourth of them will l»e
saved. In some instances, after butcher
ing sheep which it was supposed
would be passable mutton, the inner
part of the carcass was found rotten
and uneatable, and tho only thing
saved of any value was the pelt. The
various breeds of Down sheep are the
best for us to breed for the English
market; for they are not only the
most salable, bit the most profitable.

The Outlook.
It is no easy task to analyze the
Presidential outlook, and as the time
for holding the National Convention
approaches, it will he even more dill
cult. The name* of four men are prin
cipally before the people. Blaine. Grant,
Sherman and Washburn. The lirnt
boom waa that of Pennsylvania It
was subsidized so as to make it ap
pear favorable to Grant, but nothing
is more certain in all the world than
the stubborn fact that the undoubted
choice of the Keystone State is for
Blaine. Disguise it as you may, unit
rule as you will, he is pre-eininently
the enthusiastic idol of our people.
Every day confirms this opinion.
Xext came New York which was ma
nipulated in the same way as the Con
vention of this State and by the same
meagre majority pronounced for Grant,
but it does not* aptly reflect the popu
lar sentiment of the fiiupire State. He
doubtless has a larger following there
than here, but the Utiea Convention
was not a true index to the general
sentiment of that people. Next was to
have been Illinois, and with it the tri
angular plan would have lieen JKT
fected and the main preleminary work
accomplished, but that State wisely
postponed its Convention until a later
date. The only county which has
elected delegates, gives Blaine the lead.
Rhode Island will support him solidly,
BO will Maine, Kansas and lowa have
similarly declared their intentions as
far as heard from. Ohio is wheeling
into line, notwithstanding Sherman
hails from there, ami it becomes more
and more apparent that the majority of
the people prefer Blaine over and above
all others. If their wishes shall be res
pected, the National ticket will read,
"For President, James G. Blain<- of
Maine'"—and if they want him, they
will elect him. We want the lu st man
to win. As far as it is possible to un
derstand the beatings of the public
pulse, there can be no reasonable
doubt that he leads the van. If there
must be a compromise candidate it is
probable that Washburne will be the
man on whom the Chicago Convention
will unite, and the party if they can
not have Mr. Blaine, desire him as
their second choice. Were we to be
asked, what would lie our advice as to
who to select, we should unheHita
tinjfly sav—select that man whom the
popular will points out. If that be
done, they will take care of the rest.
Let the people rule, and all will come
out well in the end.— BV«< Chunter

What if you have tried different
"put up" medicines in vain. Have you
not licen equally disappointed in some
physicians? I>o not consider your

thorough trial of I>r. Pierce's Family
Medicines. They are chemically pure,
of uniform strength, and have come
into general use by reason of superior
merit. In cases of general anil ner
vous debility, consumption, bronchitis,
dyspepsia, "liver complaint," scrofu
lous bunches, ulcers, and eruptions,
the Golden Medical Discovery is a
speedy and positive cure; while thous
ands of women, who had for years
lieen bed-ridden, have, by the use of
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
I wen restored to perfect health. The
introduction of these two remedies has
revolutioni/.ed the treatment of chronic
diseases. Patients are no longer de
pleted and salivated, as the tonic and
alterative properties of the Discovery
lontr since demonstrated a better way.
Laities need no longer submit to thc
use of the caustic and knife, as the
Favorite Prescription is guaranteed to
cure the diseases anil weaknesses pe

j report of school No. T, or better known
!as Whitestown school, for the term
j ending March 30th ult.
The school was opened four months,
with an average enrollment of 5S for
the term. Average attendance, 53;
average percentage for term, 94.

Two Organs.
Regulate first the stomach, second
the liver; especially the first, so as to
jierform their functions perfectly, and
you will remove at least nineteeen
twentieths of all the ills that mankind
is heir to, in this or any other climate.
Hop Bitters is the only thinjr that will
give perfectly healthy natural action
to these two organs.— Maine. Farmer.
The English Elections.
A dispatch from London dated April
4th, says: It is expected at the Lib
eral headquarters that the total gains
will reach 100 scats. The enthusiasm,
excitement and confidence of the Lib
erals are daily augmenting. It is re
marked esj»ecially that the Lilieral
gains have been hitherto exclusively
English. Briefly, the whole contest
turned on the question put last No
vember by Mr. Gladstone in Midolo
thian, "Do you want to be governed
as you have been governed for the
last six years?" England answers No!
The extent of the victory surprises
the most sanguine Liberals. The party
chiefs expected a small majority, and
intended, if unable to form a strong
Ministry to carry on the Government
without Home Rule help, immediately
to introduce a bill reforming the county
franchise, redistributing the seats, and
then dissolve anew with the certainty
of returning a large Lilieral majority.
This scheme is probably now unneces
sary, but reform is among the first
measures.
Regulate the Secretions
In our endeavors to preserve health
it is of the utmost importance that we
keep the secretory system iu perfect
condition. The well-known remedy.
Kidney Wort, has specific action upon
the kidneys, liver and bowels. Use it
instead of dosing wuh vile bitters or
drastic pills. It is purely vegetable,
and is prompt but mild iu action.

ell & Co. issued the first American N< ws|>uper
IHrectory. In the preface of that work oc
curred this pnrngrnph:
"We have always believed, and labored in
the belief, that, im Advertising Agents, it w:i«
and should be iu our jM.wcr to lie of material
service to both advertiser and publisher, and
we know no lietter way to convince them of
the value of our services thnn by issuing this
book, thus cunbling them to communicate with
out our aid ; this we do in the belief that we
shall thereby the sooner persuade them of the
utility of employing and raging our
Agency."
The result showed the (xivition to be well
taken. Within twelve months their firm was
• n receipt of a patronage larger than had ever
lie fore been accorded lobii Advertising Agency.
It is a fact, frequently commented upon, that
there is no other biisinens interest of the coun
try, the statistics of which lire ho thoroughly
set forth and made public, lis that of making
New<pa|»ers ; and for tliii the American News
papcr Hi rectory has the entire credit.
In 1871, at the World's loir nI Philadelphia,
Messrs. (ieo. I'. Ilowell A to. erected it build
ing in which were received, tiled und exhibited,
late copies of every American periodical puhli
cation, numbering itt tlmt time eight
one hundred and twenty.nine. Of this enter
prise the liONlio* TIMKs correspondent, in the
opening paragraph of Ins letter of July loth •>!'
that year, writes as follows :
"I have frequently bad occasion to notice the
big way in which the A inericans do tilings,and
I do not know that It would be ea<v to find an
apter illustration of it than that furnished l>}
the XeWHpHper Mini ling in the Kxliibition
grounds."
Messrs. (ieo. P. Ilowell A Co. point with sat
isfaction to the two years iu which they in
curred the greatest expense for extending to
the public broad sources of information con
cerning the business in which they are en
gaged f ISO'I, IM7II), as the two iii which, not
withstanding the extra ordinary outlay, did ac
tually produce for them a net income iu excess
of any other years of their business caree.
One of the strongest holds whit II this Adver
tising Bureau has upon the newspapers, is ob
tained by their system of making prompt pay
ments for work done. Newspaper men who
have commended this feature, when visiting
the ollice iu New York, have lieen invited to
the cashier's desk and shown 11 conspicuous
printed notice posted there, which reads :
A 1.1. BILLS Itt BIT BO UfOU TWUVI
o'CLOCK MCST |!K KXAMIVKK AMI
I'AIII TO-OAY."
The Advertising Agent avers to his patron,
the advertiser, that he will procure for loin thr
liin ' I /inKKihtr ruhit lln iirofit comes from a
commission from the publisher. To take the
advertisement, at a reduction from usual rates,
and piiy the agent for securing it, is not always
pleasant for the newspa|ier men, but the reflec
tion "we shall surely get the money the day
we send the bill," has often decided him to ac
cept an oiler far below the price lie ought to
have received, from those newspapers which
have one price for everybody, and require ev
erybody to pay that price, it is nnnecessary to
say that Messrs. tieo. I'. Howell it I '». obtain
no advantages beyond the established commis
sion, nor do they desire anv. What they want,
and inust have for their patrons, is the lowest
price, and when they have that they are satis
fied. They are quite well aware that the best
jiajwr" are, as a general rule, the ehcajiest.

The Lesson Taught.
The Harrisburg Patriot, referring to
the legislative bribery cases, says:
"Hut the history uf their offense is
nothing new under the sun. It may
be asserted with entire fidelity to the
truth that no Legislature for the last
forty years has lieen exempt from the
leprous disease of bribe-taking. Up
wards of a third of u century ago
there was a conviction in the Courts
of Dauphin county for corrupt solicita
tion of members of the Legislature.
The truth is that the |)eople them
selves are, in a great measure, in fault.
Especially is this the fact in the great
centres of population.
"The party primaries, the real source
of political power, are neglected by the
intelligent and upright voter. Men
without character, often without edu
cation, are foisted upon the party at
the nominating meetings and the party
afterward sustains them at the polls.
In this way the Legislature is tainted
with an incompetent and corrupt mem
bership, and the lobby, with all its de
moralizing agencies, is a natural con
sequence. While, therefore, it is well
for the Court 'to vindicate the offended
majesty of the law,' it were far Itetter
for the people to vindicate their title to
self-government by sending a superior
class of men to the Legislature."
