Monday, May 8, 1880' 
The advancing civilization has brought the tele¬ 
phone te Alaska. A line Is being laid by the 
Alaska Fur Company several miles In length. The 
natives have been told oi It. but they cannot com¬ 
prehend how people can speak through a wire... 
The Kentucky Legislature lately passed an ex¬ 
ceedingly stringent Sunday law providing for the 
punishment of all persons who work for pay on 
Sundays. The step was advocated by the Louis¬ 
ville papers and by a Citizens’ League, of which a 
prominent clergyman was president. On the Sun¬ 
day following the enactment, the police proceeded 
to enforce the new law by arresting the sexton 
and organist of the president’s church, and the 
employees or the leading dally journal. ’T1 bx 
pity the enactment should fit so badly, as some re¬ 
straint was, no doubt, needed, but the law is 
doomed to fall . , Politicians of all shades are 
unusually busy just now, and their activity will 
increase with the approach of the presidential 
election. A number of conventions, both State 
and local, have been held In several states during 
the past week, for the selection of delegatea to 
the national conventions. Instead of elucidating 
the pending mysteries of whom each party may 
nominate, every new convention seems lo make 
“ confusion worse confounded.” At present it is 
impossible to forecast what men the two great 
parties will put in the Held as opposing candidates. 
_During the month of April the Immigrants ar¬ 
riving at Castle Uardon N. Y. numbered 45,214, 
which exceeds by nearly three thousand the 
highest number that has heretofore arrived In 
any one month, and the prospects are that there 
will be quite as many during May. The Immi¬ 
gration Commissioners are basing their estimates 
on a total or 350,ooo tor the year. The railroad 
companies are busy carrying the crowds west¬ 
ward— The nation Is again at war with the 
Apache Indians, During the past month General 
Hatch’s command has been In some severe en¬ 
gagements, and forced to make some exhaustive 
marching in prosecuting the campaign with the 
hosllles. Captain Carroll has been seriously 
wounded and some privates killed. The war seenes 
lie In southern New Mexico and adjueent por¬ 
tions of Texas, lluslncss had been almost para¬ 
lyzed in this part oi the country and the break- 
l ng up of this nest of thieving and murdering 
Apaches will be of Immense benefit.

The British bovine aristocracy has suffered a 
grievous loss by the death of the eighth Duchess of

estimated damage of $ 60,000 to the cranberry 
bogs. Oh Friday last, however, they burst out 
again, Ucklng up ah the oak and pine that re¬ 
mained standing and still more grievously 
Injuring the cranberry beds, besides destroy¬ 
ing a number of farm houses, stableB, etc.; 
altogether they have been exceedingly disas¬

verted what was an Inland sea In winter and a 
noxious swamp In summer, the waters expand¬

Whitt Better Evidence 
could the people ask to substantiate the merits of 
Dr. Pleice’s Family Medicines than the fact that 
they have not only yearly grown in popular favor 
In this country, but the foreign demand for them 
has became so great as to necessitate tbe estab¬ 
lishing a branch Of the celebrated World’s Dispen¬ 
sary in London, England, that these blessings to 
the afflicted may he dispatched from that greatest 
commercial center of the world to every country 
and people 7 Golden Medical Discovery Is a con¬ 
centrated, potent, alterative, or blood cleansing 
remedy, that wlnH golden opinions of all who use 
It for all humors from the common pimple, blotch, 
or eruption, to the formidable scrofulous swelling, 
Internal fever, soreness and ulceration, yield to Its 
benign Influence. Consumption, which Is but a 
form of scrofulous affection of the lungs, may In 
Its early stages be cured by a tree use of this God 
given remedy. See article on consumption and its

Dr. R. V. Fierce: Dear Sir:—With trembling hand 
from my extreme age, being elghty-flve, 1 write to 
inform you of the great benefit your Goldon Medi¬ 
cal Discovery and 1’ellets have been to ine. Three 
years ago l was prostrated with pneumonia; and 
no one thought I would recover. By the use of 
those medicines 1 was ralshed to health, and by 
the blessing of God and your medicines 1 have en¬ 
joyed pretty good health since, though for years 
hetore this I suffered from weak lungs and a bad 
cough. GratefuUy yours, M art B. Fisk,

Prematnre Loss of the Hair, which Is 
so common now-a-days, may he entirely prevented 
by the useol Burnett’s Cocoaink. 
Bronchitis.— Throat Diseases often commence 
with a Cold, Cough, or unusual exertion ol the 
voice. These incipient symptoms are allayed by 
the use of “ Brown’s Bronchial Troches " which If 
negleoced often result In a chronic disease of the 
throat.

A. B. Barnes, General Western Agent for Brad¬ 
ley & Co. has removed to Nos. 46 and 48 West Lake 
Street, Chicago, IU. 
The Robbins Washer and Bleacher. 
^Lately we had special reasons for thoroughly test¬ 
ing the character of the Bobbins’ Washer and 
Bleacher made by the Blssell M'f'g Co., so Barclay 
Street, New York. The test has been fully made 
for upwards of a month In the family at the 
Rural Farm, and has demonstrated the great 
merits of tills machine. As In the Case of hun¬ 
dreds of others, the first Impression of the mistress 
of the house was that the old-time use of “ elbow 
grease "was essential to the thorough cleansing 
of the soiled clothing; but repeated trials of this 
device have convinced her that this belief was due 
merely to immemorial usage, and had no real 
foundation In fact; for on every occasion in which 
tt was used this washer did everything that Is 
claimed for It In an entirely satisfactory manner. 
We can therefore unhesitatingly recommend It to 
all our readers who may be In need of a flrst- 
rate washer and bleacher.
