EE TAKES TEE DOCTOR - ADVICE AND OB TAINS SOME INTERESTING RESULTS. "I think I'll stay in bed today," re marked John Henry Peddioord when the alarm clock went off at 7 a few mornings afro. "1 don't feel very well, and I read a few days since an article by a prominent physician, in which he said that if people wonld go to bed and stay there a whole day in every month, and keep quiet, tbey would live to a good old age." "Well, I think I would," said Mrs. John Henry Peddicord encouragingly.— "Yon have been complaining of a severe headache for _over.l days, and I have be come quite anxious about yon." So John Henry tnrned over on his pillow and set tled himself for his unwonted luxury. He had just got to sleep again when tbe baby woke up. Tbe had not read the learned artiole by the prominent physi cian, and it would have bad no effeot on her if she bad. Sbe was opposed to sleep on general principles, at any time, day or night, and only succumbed at tbe latter time from dire necessity, wben sbe could no longer prop ber eyes open. But stay in bed all day? Never 1 Baby's waking was the signal for her mamma to rise. "John Henry, love," said Mrs. Peddi cord, "as you are not going to get up, I think I'li let yon amuse baby while I dress. The girl is busy tbis morning; it's ironing morning, yon know. It'll be such a help." So while Mrs. Peddioord dressed, John Henry Peddicord tried to amuse the baby, but tbe attempt was not a gigantio sue cess. The baby wanted to get up bave begin its day's work, but John Henry, and ing resolved to put into practice the prominent, physician's theory, conld not ac cede to the infant's demand, though it was supported by much heavy wailing. To assist in the general work of amnsing baby, Mrs John Henry Peddicord un loaded on the bed a varied assortment of toys. There were dolls, tin wagons, loco motives, building blooks and tbe like. By tbe aid of these adjuncts to infantile paciiioation tnd tbe expenditure ot more vital force than an entire day's work at the office would consume, John Henry kept the baby in a state of comparative quiet for ten minutes, and tbe word "comparative" is used advisedly. By this time Mrs. John Henry Peddioord was dressed. "I'll take the baby now and dress her," she said. "I'm sure she hasn't bothered you much, love. S'e's dust as dood as dold; s'e is mommer's 'ittle toddles." Tbe second half of Mrs. John Henry's remarks was addressed to the baby, not to John Henry. "Mommer" took the baby, and John Henry snuggled into his pillow for another snooze. He had Bcaroely sot to sleep when he was awakened by the wife of his bosom. "I'll go and bring up your breakfast, love, if you'll just mind the baby while I go downstairs for it. There's the break fast bell now. Baby will be good, I'm sure. I'll set her on the bed and you oan play with her-" But baby bad some conscientious soruples about going to bed jnst after dressing, and she filed several emphatic protests, which the disappearance of ber mamma did not tend to render less energetic. Tbis time John Henry's efforts to as- Buage the grief of his child were utterly unavailing. He endeavored to explain to ber tbat tbe features of Edna, the chubby rubber doll, were worthy of more than a casual glance, but baby would not listen.— Equally unavailing were bis efforts to point out the wonderful beauties of a "choo choo" locomotive. But finally Mrs. John Henry came to ber lord's assistance and carried oft tbe baby, while he sat up in bed, propped with pil lows, ate his buttered toast and bis boiled eggs, drank his coffee, and thought tbat tbe prominent physician's idea was not such a bad one after all. His breakfast eaten, John Henry Peddi oord lay and dozed and lazily dreamed for perhaps half an hour, when his wife in vaded the bedroom again. She had an idea. "John Henry," she said, "I've no end of shopping to do, and I just believe I'll go to day, while you are at borne. No one oan take care of the baby as well as you.— 1 feel so much eater when yon are home with baby dear, and yoa won't mind, will yon, love?" John Henry groaned inwardly. Ob, no; be wouldn't mind at all. And be didn't for a whole half hour after Mrs. Peddioord had disappeared. The baby bad STAUNTON, VA.. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1890. been fed, and for the space ot thiny minutes thereafter was a model of angelio sweetness. Then oame a change, how ever, and the infant becamo more exacting. John Henry performed various gymnastic evolutions on tbe bed for bis audience of one infant, which were duly applauded un til the spectator desired a change of programme and made ber desire known very promptly. After Mrs. Peddlcord had been gone an honr John Henry thought tbis thing of staying at home to rest was a delusion aad a snare, and he tried to concoct a good reason for foregoing his resolution oi fol lowing the prominent physician's advice. "To be sure," be thought, "there's that business with Sparrowgrass I ought to have attended to months ago. He lives in Frogville, fifteen miles away, over a very rough road." John Henry Peddioord dressed himself and took the baby downstairs, where the girl was ironing. "Norab," said he, "I'm BOrry to inter rupt yonr ministrations at the ironing board, bnt 1 find it necessary to go to tbe country, and I'll bave to leave the baby with yon. When Mrs. Peddioord returns tell her I received a telegram calling me away on very important business, and tbat I shall not be back before 9 or 10 o'clock to-night, and perhaps not before to-morrow morning."—William H. Siviter in Drake's Magazine. A TERRIBLE VENGEANCE. "Hark, Cyrnsl Wbat was that?" "Nothing Emily. Let me go to sleep, will you?" For a few moments silenoe reigned in the sleeping chamber. "Cyrus Winterbottom, there's somebody in the housel I bear a noise in the kitch en!" Cyrus sat up in his bed and listened. "I''a the oat," he grumbled drowsily. "A oat doesn't wear boots and go around opening doors. Hark!" The baby stirred and Mrs. Winterbottom soothed it to rest again. "I don't see what anybody wants to get Into our kitchen for," growled Cyrus with a yawn. "There's nothing to—heigh hoi— to steal in that part of tbe bouse, is there?" "Nothing to steal! There's a plate full of tarts, a pan of doughnuts, and a sponge cake." Some of your—heigh-ho—your own conooction, Emily?" "Yes, some of my own making. Then there's all the silverware and—" "He'll never get to the silverware, Emily, if he tackles the doughnuts first. You will find bis honibly distorted body in the morn ing " "Hash! Hark!" He listened again. All was quiet. Bat presently an unmistakable sound as of some body moving about on the floor below, aroused even Cyrus' dull senses. Steps seemed to be approaching the stairway. Cyrus took his revolver out from under his pillow, climbed softly out of bed, went to the door of the room and got behind it, first having oautioned his wife in a whisper to make no noise and leave matters entirely in his hands. Softly and stealthily oame tbe steps up stairs, and iv a few moments the dim light of the night lamp on the dressing case fell upon tbe stalwart form of a man whose face was concealed by a mask. Mrs. WiDterbottom screamed at sight of him, and the baby woke np aud howled, and before the burglar conld recover from the momentary confusion into which this unexpected receptien bad thrown bim, Cyrus confronted bim with the revolver. "_ou infernal scoundrel!" he hissed. Don't you move a muscle or I'll put a ball through you!" The revolver hadn't been loaded for a year or more, and Cyras knew it, but tbe burglar didn't. The pitiful wretch stood perfectly still. "Take off your maskl" sternly command ed Cyrus* Tbe burglar complied. With ashen face and mean bang-dog look be stood there, and said not a word. Mrs. Winterbottom bad recovered ber self-possession, but the baby continued to howl. "It would serve you right, you sr.eaktog contemptible villain," said Cyrus in a deep tragic voice, "if I should shoot you wbere you stand. I believe I'll do it, anyhow." "Mercy! Mercyl" pleaded the trembliug wretch. "It's tbe first time I ever broke into a bouse. I'll never do it again. Plo. so let me go. It's tbe first time you were ever caught at it! It'll be the last. Down ou your knees!" "Don't kill him, Cyrusl" begged his wife. "Think of the carpet!" "Listen!" said Cyrus, oomingolose to tbe kneeling burglar. "Hold up your bands.

"Now walk the floor witb itl" For four long hours Cyras Winterbottom held that empty revolver leveled at the head of the miserable man and compelled bim to walk up and down the room with the crying, squirming infant in his arms. At daybreak, the cringing, orawling vil lain was permitted to sneak away from the premises, a broken hearted man. His raven hair had turned gray in that one night. It was a horrible retribution, but who shall say it was not deserved!

Mr. Bayard oa t_e Result. THE LATE ELECTION A WHOLESOME LESSO FOB POLITICAL PABTIES. Ia a letter expressing his regret at being unable to take part in a recent democratic celebration io Savannah, Ga., to which he had been invited, Hon. Thomas F. Bayard writes:— It is not possible for me to be with you, but I will thank you to express to my fel low-democrats in Savannah my sincere con gratulations npon the unmistakable arrest placed by tbe American people npon the re publican leaders ia tbeir headloog and in sistent march toward arbitrary power. Bach an expression of popular sentiment reinvigorates the hope of all lovers of oivil liberty and popular self-government, and proclaims the vitality of the democratic principle upon which the best hopes of our government are founded. I earnestly hope tbat the representatives of tbe party wbicb, a year hence, will be placed in control of tbe House of Representatives, will compre hend the true significance af the late eleo tion. . The republican party and its polioies bave been condemned, and power transfer red to democratic hands; but it is placed there in trust, in the confidence that it will be exeroiaed temperately, wisely and con scientiously. If it is not, it will be recall ed. I know of no more wholesome instruction for political parties in this country than the constant reminder tnat they are always on trial before the country, and* at each elec tion must stand for judgment at the bar of an intelligent publio opinion. The republican party seems to have for gotten this, and to have become besotted with power and dulled to insensibility by its long possession and consequent abuse. Therefore they believed publio conscience was dead when it waa only sleeping, and they conceived that they could entrench themselves permanently in pewer by arbi trary statutes, and that popular disfavor could not expel them. Tbey have had a sudden and unexpected awakening, and 1 trust tbeir successors will gather wisdom and instruction from their downfall. Let as hope the democratic majority of the next House of Representatives will not forget the conditions upon which popular confidence oan be retained, nor underrate their great responsibilities. The plain duty of an American represen tative is to base bis popularity upon absolute fidelity to his constituency, and this begins in that personal dignity and self-respect tbat may possibly oompel him to displease his constituents, but never to mislead them. The independent conscience of each repre sentative is a safeguard of the greatest value to his people. A subservient creature oan be no true friend nor trustworthy agent in aoy relation of life, publio or private. The present overthrow of the republican party is manifestly dne to tbe lack of per sonal independence in opinion and action of its leaders, who sinned against light, and led their party, or suffered it to be led, to its downfall. Not a manly or true voice was heard in the House or in the Senate daring the late session from the republican side to warn tbeir party against extreme measures, or to denounce wilh jusi indignation tbe destruc tive and uuAmerican rales of Reed or his offensive aad brata! methods of administra tion, There were a few and faint expostulations against some features of the McEiniey bill among the republicans, but they were smothered acd stifled by moral cowardice and want of confidence in popular intelli gence. I hope, indeed, that the incoming era of democratic administration, npon the threshold of which we are now apparently standing, may be marked by individual in dependence of opinioo and action, and tbat tbe spirit of party may never be allowed to cow tbe spirit of American manhood, nor silence the voice of individual conviction. Political parties are but agencies for pop ular government, and men are tbe instru mentalities through which parties must aobieve tbeir ends. Therefore, ia the last analysis of government, whether of a party or a nation, the personal character of the men chosen will prove to be tbe safest reli ance of the people wbo trust them. Now is the time, therefore, for the na tional democracy to send demagogues to the rear and call able men of independent char acter —statesmen wbo love tbe people, but do not fear or distrust tbem—to the front. With charaoter and conscience ia the lead our onward march to a restored constitu tional government of co-equal States in one mighty nnion of republics will be steady and unimpeded.

Very respeotfully, A. P. Mathews. For sale by N. Wayt & Bro., Staunton, Va. Girls Behind the Counter. If I were asked to give a set of rules or suggestions for girls whose days are spent behind tbe counter, tbey would read some thing like this:— Remember tbat all the time spent in tbe store belongs to yonr employer. That courtesy behind tbe counter wins even the most captious customer. Tbat gossip about young men, or with tbem, is unbusinesslike, and, under the circumstances, rude. Never attempt to instrnet a customer; while you may suggest, or politely ques tion, tne desirability of tbis or tbat. Do not say, "Here Sade, band me your pencil," to your neighbor. Never say, "No, we haven't got it," in a short, crisp tone; far better a polite "I am Borry to say we do not have it in stock " Do not thrust a package at _ customer as you would a pistol in the face of a high wayman. Never throw down goods with an air whicb seems to say, "I do not care wheth or you buy it or not." Remember that tbe purchaser often sees more io the seller than she thinks, and re fined young women have made valuable friends for life by their oourtesy to an ac complished customer. Always remember, that duty to yonr em ployer demands your best service, and duty to yourself also. . Seek to be a model saleswoman, and some one will soon recognize your merits. Dress modastly and avoid cheap jewelry, the best ornam-uts are: promptness, politeness, a well modulated voice, and strict-ttention to duty. Have your hair neatly combed, your teeth well brushed and your finger-nails tidy, Customers are often repelled by untidy clerks of either sex. Remember always, tbat you are superior to circumstances on'y when you make yourself so. The most selfish, t-acting employer will gladly recognize the merits of an efficient cleik. Frown down with womanly scorn the disss sensical title of "saleslady." It is a grand thing to be a woman anything; if you are a true acd good woman, a good clerk is infinitely more respectable than a so-c.lled "saleslady," and tbe term bas a shoduyish ring which is totally un-Ameri can.

Tbe Cleveland (Ohio) Plain Dealer yes terslay printed a long, authorized interview witb Orover Cleveland, of which the fol lowing are the most salient points: Mr. Cleveland didn't want to talk. He said he thought he had t-lked.enough. Besides, everything he says for publication gives his enemies an opportunity to "mount" him, as he expressed it. He spoke enthusiasti cally of his trip to Ohio on the occasion of the recent banquet to the "Old Roman." ' 'What do you think of the condition of Ohio, politically. * "It seems to me that the State is in the best of bands; certainly that there has been a wonderful change of sentiment on tbe taiifi question within the last few years. There is absolutely no division in the State now on that question, as far aa I can learn. It is only two or three years siaoe, fur local reasons, tbe Ohio democrats were exces sively timorous on the snbjeot of tariff re torm. Free wool was a nightmare. The State conventions and some of the congres sional conventions insisted on a saving clause in their platforms on that subjeot. Yet, even then, some of tbe protectionist democrats got out beyond their depth. Ob, you are setting a lively paoe out in Ohio. The movement for a reduotion of tariff tax ation has even invaded Pennsylvania, the stronghold of high protection. All the ma terial interests of that State are bound np in the protection theory and committed to the preservation of the war duties whioh have benefited them so much, and yet headway has been made there. In the late campaign, it is true, national issues did not figure extensively in the canvass. It was a contest between the selfish and unscrupu lous methods of self constituted bosses on the one hand and good government on tbe other. And it was a sublime spectaoie to witness the triumph of deoenoy. Bat not withstanding the nature of the campaign, the tariff reform doctrine had its effeot there, as it had in the States of the Union where it unmistakably asserted itself on the day of the election. The result tends to re-establish a man's faith in the integri ty of the people. No one had a suspicion of the spontaneity and tbe strength of the uprising. I don't suppose a single demo crat, in the wildest dreams of his imagina tion, oame within 30—no, I'll Bay 100—of the democratic majority in the next Honse. I heard enthusiastically sanguine demo crats say that we wonld have fifty majority in the House, but I don't believe tbat any body supposed it wonld be more." Mr. Cleveland, after inquiring about Gov. Campbell's health, spoke admiringly of tbe Governor. "Campbell is a growing man," said he, "and I think his prestige is con stantly increasing. His fight for municipal reform in Cincinnati may not have been poiitio, but it was certainly a brave act, and the people applaud bravery. I myself would be chary aboat admitting that Campbell had made a mistake after the consummate ability he displayed ia handl ing the ballot-box for_orv oase." Wise Words.—Mr. Henry Watterson, one of tbe most brilliant Demccrats in this country, says in an editorial in his paper, the Courier-Journal: "What was once the opinion of a few thoughtful men concerning tariff reform has oome to be the oonviotion of a majority of tbe American people." Then, after reviewing the history ot tarifl legislation and giving Mr. Cleveland due oredit for the part he played in bringing the Democracy forward on this great issue, Mr. Watterson continues: "Democrats now must still force the fighting. The recent election is only an episode in the great contest. The panic stricken enemy will rally their forces next winter for 1892. No victory-is ever so com plete as at first appears. The resources at the command of the Republican leaders cannot be over-estimated. After tbe assas sination of Garfield it seemed as if tbe Re publicans would not be able even to con test the election of 1884, but the Democrats succeeded in electing Cleveland only by the skin of tneir teeth. "If we are to succeed in 1892, the cam paign must open now. The meeting of Congress in December mast find the Dem ocrats alert, active, aggressive, eager, en thusiastic, but not over-confident. Educa tion on tbe tariff must continue. Reciproc ity is only an ambush to cover the retreat of tbe enemy. It is a concession, the mean ing and scope of which most be explained from day to day. It is the last - position where tbe enemy can expect to fight; it is there they mast make their last desperate rally, aud they must be driven back with out concession or conditions." These are wise words and cannot fail to have their influence on the Democratic leaders as well as the rank and file. Girls who make poor wives.—l never see a petted, pampered girl wbo is yielded to in every whim by servants and parents, tbat I do not sigh witb pity for the man who will some day be ber busband.

Tbe parents sacrificed, and suffer ed for her sake, hoping finally to see her well married. Tbey carefully hide her faults from her suitors who seek her hand, and sbe is ever ready with smiles and allure ments to win the hearts of men, and the average man is as blind to tbe faults of a pretty girl as a newly-hatched bird is blind to the worms upon the trees about bim.

Short wraps of ermine for evening may also be adorned by passementerie and will be in much favor because easily slipped off and on, less ex pensive than long cloaks and although quite suitable for ladies who occupy boxes, are likewise adapted to others not able to afford snch luxurious positions.
