Badly Demoralized. The Graphic is doing its patrio tic duty to its country, but all the same it is in a demoralized condi tion at present. By the departure of the Jefferson Fencibles for Little Rock, thence to be transferred to wherever ordered by the govern ment, the Graphic loses three mem bers of its force, Mr. Geo. S. Valliant, city editor; Mr. George H. Adams, accountant and collector, and Mr. A. G. Hurd, printer and pressman. In consequence of the departure of Mr. Valliant, the duties of city editor and reporter devolve upon Mr. J. W. Adams in addition to his ■other duties as editor and business manager. We have employed Mr. Meyer Solmsou to assist in the capacity of reporter aud news gatherer, and we earnestly request our friends and the public generally to give him such items as they may shave knowledge of. o e also iuvite our Iriends to tele phone local and personal news, and ■eve respectfully invite and urge our Sciatic Rheumatism Could Hardly Walk and Was Greatly Emaciated Hood’s Sarsaparilla Makes a Cure— Now as Well as Ever. “Sciatic rheumatism kept me in bed fever a 1 weeks. Prescriptions did not do me any good, but I finally wore out the disease sufficiently to hobble around. I W'as greatly emaciated and one of my limbs was drawn and cramped. It oc curred to me that what I really needed was to get my blood pure. I went to the drug store and called for the best blood medicine. I was given a bottle of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I began taking it and in a short time I was au well as ever. I now weigh more than I ever did before; I have a good appetite and am feeling well.” S. K. Robinson, Fort Smith, Arkansas.

OUR CHOICE For Sheriff, EDGAR BREWSTER. Main-age For Women In Ireland. Another great gain has been made for woman suffrage in the passage of the Irish local self government bill by the parliament of Great Britain. Mu nicipal woman suffrage, conferred on Englishwomen in 1869, proved so satis factory that it was extended to the women of Scotland in 1881. Now, after the experience of a generation (29 years), it is extended to the women of Ireland also. Under the new bill single women and widows in Ireland will vote for all officers except members of parliament on substantially the same terms as men. Before this municipal suffrage for wom en in Ireland was limited to Belfast, where they obtained it some years ago through the efforts of Miss Isabella Todd and other Irish women on the oc casion of the granting of a new city charter. We congratulate the friends of equal suffrage tu this emphatic evidence of the value of municipal woman suffrage Now, will our Uieuds cf the Boston Pilot tell us why women in Dublin and Cork should exercise a right denied to Irish women in Boston? Let ns hope that the spectacle of self respecting, public spirited women voting in Ireland may crt ate a change of feeling among their countrymen and countrywomen on this side of the Atlantic. — Woman’s Journal. A Plucky Young Woman. Miss Emma Stoddard, United States mail carrier, hcs proved herself a plucky young woman and a faithful servant of the government. Regardless of the rig ors of winter, she has made her 18 mile journey between Canton and Ponkapoag postofiice every 24 hours since she was awarded the contract last fall. t-;he makes two trips each way daily. In car rying the evening mail it was necessary during the short winter days to make the journey after dark, and it was pre dicted that she would be frightened and give up the work. Not she!—Exchange. Patti as a Widow. This description cf Patti as a widow lately appeared in a German newspaper: “In dress of dead white satin the diva stood, her waist and skirt plain and unmodified with puffs or plaits. Over the whole was a trimming of dull jet, put in fish net fashion, veiling, but not concealing the lustered satin. Upon her shoulders were bows of dull satin rib bon, and in place of her diamond stars her corsage was illumined with brilliant jet suns. Her gloves and fan were black as a raven’s wing. ” WAR IS DECLARED CROP Week The soldiers are on the way, But before you leave for the field of battle, See first what the Wolf has got to say.

Wasted to a skeleton his lungs a mass of ulceration; hii death was hourly awaited by his docto: and family. He was kept in a constan stupor with opium.
