No preparation for Throat and Lung Troubles is so prompt in its effects, so agreeable to the taste, and so widely known as this. It is the family medi? cine in thousands of households. "I have suffered for years from a bronchial trouble that, whenever I tato cold or am exposed to inclement weath? er, shows itself by a very annoying tickling se^- cation in the throat and by difficulty :'? breathing. I have tried a great many remedies, but none does so well as Ay Vi s Cherry Pectoral which, always gives prompt relief in returns of my old complaint." - Ernest A. Hepler, Inspector of Public Roads, Parish Ter? re Bonne, La. * u I consider J yer's Cherry Pectoral a most important remedy For Home Use. I have tested its curative power, in my family, many times during tho past thirty years, and have never known it to fail. It will relieve the most serious affections of the throat and lungs, whether in children or adults." - Mrs. E. G. Edgerly, Council Bluffs, Iowa. "Twenty years ago I was troubled with a disease of the lungs. Doctors afforded me no relief and considered inv case hopeless. I then began to use Ayers Cherry Pectoral, and, before I bad finished one bottle, found relief. I continued to take this medicine until a cure was effected. I believe that Ayer's Cherry Pectoral saved my life." Samuel Griggs, Waukegan, 111. "Six years ago I contracted a severe cold which settled on my lungs and soon developed all the alarming symp? toms of Consumption. I had a cough, night sweats, bleeding of the lungs, pains in chest and sides, and was so prostrated as to be confined to my bed most of the time. After trying various prescriptions, without benefit, my physician finally determined to give me Ayer's Cherry 'Pectoral. I took it, and the effect was magical. I seemed to rally from the first dose of this medicine, and, after using only three bottles, am as well and sound as ever." - Rodney Johnson, Springfield, 111. * Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, PREPARED BT Dr. J.

American Homage Recently Paid Twenty-five Years Dead. It is twenty-fire years to-day since the death of Thackeray, as we are reminded by aa enthusiastic American, the writer of the u>I owing verses. "Every year," he tells us, "it has been my custom, when in London, to visit Kensal Green <>n Christmas da;? and on behalfof myself and severn! frieuds in Amer? ica, to phire wreaths on the grave of the great novelist:" Bring Gowers, although he be hepds them not, Their flowine hues, nor odo;? sweet ; Their beauty ebeers this hallowed spot, That ever draws ur. pilgri: A grave, nn ?liar. *nd A -;n::.:r Waere grateful heans tb*:: h?rnte pay To bim whose life ?nd genius slrtse .With clearer lustre; day bj day.

Hrre standir-g by this quiet grave, The world's wild fret seems far away ; Here dwells the peace ot God, who gave That life, these flowers, this sacred day. I lingering turn to leave the place, hut cannot go : I feel again The influence of thy helpful grace, Thou child in heart, thou man of men. While others seize a hum ing pen To tell twp world what they have done, With whom, and why, and where, and when So passing pratsfi and gold are won - Aud court a gossip loving ?ge, And with oblivion vaiulv strive, And lest the future write no page, Write it themselves while yet alive.

A Protection Tariff Talk by ai Georgia Man. j NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-The annual dinner of the American Protective i Tariff.-League came off this evening j at Deimonico's. Itt response to thc ; toast, "Southern industrial growth, I thc Strongest bond ol union and i peace," J F Hanson, of Georgia, ! sp??ke as follows : "For I he first time since the war the question ?.!' free trade, clean cst ; ami weil defined, was carried before j the people of the country in the late ! Presidential campaign. Stripped of; all partisan subterfuges, that carn j pa ig ii invo'ved tin- uielhod? and pur I poses u? Federal taxation. So far as i the pe? pie li J the power to settle the question by the results of one I election, they decided that in nonna! times the Federal government should raise ail its revenue? from custom j houses, with duties s?> adjusted as to give am oie protection to American capital and labor. "This campaign furnished the first instance it) our political history in which a groat pol iii al pt-r?y appealed to the people in a national ..lection to destroy protection hy a reduction of duties, and to perpetuate a system of internal federal taxation. This prop? osition violated the unwritten law of land, enforced by every complexion of federal administration since the adoption ol the federal e< nstitution which proposed, except under exi? gencies of tin; f?deral treasury, to ?eave every pieper subject of taxa lion within the states to taxation by the states. This proposition was overwhelmingly repudiated, and though it came from the political party .villi which I li av- rr! ways acted, il wars based upon the presumption that the gi eat masses of American people were as ignorant ol thc effects of such a policy as were, the leaders of this parly. "If further evidence of the stupid? ity, inconsistency and insincerity of the free traders is wanted, it is found in the fact that they appealed alike to the protection and bar-room influen? ces tn the Stales of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, to support thc movement in favor of internal tax? ation, and against the policy of pro? tection. "If the results of that campaign, a? they indicate public judgment, public will, amount to anything, the Rep nb lican party is under mandate from the people to cut up the internal revenue system by the roots, and secure the permanency of the American policy of protection These issues were made squarely, and the Republicans triumphed upon them over the De? mocracy and Piohibitionists com? bined. "The majority of people at the North, a large minority of Southern whites and nearly all of the Southern blacks are in favor of protection, while the minority of the people of the North and a majority of Southern whites are in favor of free trade. It is true, the question of continuing the protective policy and of wiping out our entire internal revenue system becomes simply a question ot sub? mission to the will of the majority, or opposition to the will of the ma? jority. Reduced to the last analysis, this question assumes this 6hape now and for the future. Now, as ai ways, t?ie political South-the solid South -is relied upon to furnish the bulk of Congressional votes in opposition to protection, and in support, in these latter days (God help us), of the prop? osition to make the present enormous, unjust and infamous system of inter? nal taxation permanent. ** Whatever may be the sentiment o; *t?(? Southern people with reference to the question of protection, they are overwhelmingly opposed to internal federal taxation, and. will cooperate ir: :ny movement for its repeal. The political South, as known to you in the Solid South, is not the South of pi ogress. It is not the South, nor representative er the South, that builds our cotton mills and iron furn? aces It is an injustice to tiie people of tlie whole Country, us ita effects are felt in our federal legislation. "1 make no criticism of my section and people with reference to the Solid South ror the control of our local affaire which is not applicable to myself. Whether such policy was necessary or not, whether it was just or not, right or wrong, we all believ? ed in it, and have labored to promote it. Willi equal fianknes- : admit that through the Solid South, m:ide solid for purposes of local control, we have secured representation in Con? gress far beyond that to which we are entitled on a basis <?f population represented by that portion of our people participating in and deciding our Congressional electors. This gives us abnormal power in deciding the legislation of the country. "As the South is solid in support of fiee trade, and as the North is largely in favi,;- of protection, the power of the South thus acquired and th ns wielded is an injustice to the North If wc persist in the effort to keep and exercise it for this pur? pose, there can be but one logical result: A Solid South in favor of free trade will provoke a Solid North in favor of p?otect?on, and when the final conflict comes, free trade and the Soiid South, like secession and slavery, will perish. "I do not believe in a Solid South for tlie purpose of controlling federal .fiscal policios in opposition to the majority sentiment of the people of the North. I do not admit that such a purpose coulu be founded upon ne? cessity to the South or justice to the North. For this reason however, 1 may vote hereafter in our local elec? tions, I never intend to vote for any mau to (ill any fedeial position who does not represent what! believe to be sound federal poiities, touching all questions affecting the prosperity, the power and glory of the country. "Tlie devotion of Southern free tradeis to delusive theories, and their inattention to facts, 'HHS "been show;} d-uring the recent discussion of the Senate tariff bill From the utterances of Southern Senators, those who are unacquainted with the situation would suppose the South was in a condition of steady decline -, that by reason of th'1 tariff every article of necessity consumed by Southern fat mers was enormously enhanced in price. Under protection the South has in? creased hrv cotton crops from 3,500, 000 to 7,000,500 bales, and never in the history of the country has the pur hasieg power of u bale of cotton eq-:t:iled its present purchasing power Do' * this denote decline in our agri? culture? Doos it indicate; that the \z ?lier i- robbed by this system, when it H rontinually increasing tlie pur chasing power of his product. ? "Whatever Southern politicians r say with reference to this ques? tion, the business South does not pro {..-. io surrender the policy under which our section and country have achieved these magnificent results. That the political South proposes to destroy thc protective system no man of candor and intelligence wii! deny. In view of ? li is purpose, the man who will save the polictical South fruit? ttself, and save the coun? try from tho political South, will best .promote the intesests ni the South and the country. If the cause of piieetion fails in I Iiis country, ii will fail at the hand of T'ie Solid rymill.

Louisville Courier Journal. j Tbe Republican Senators approached i very near the line of free trade when they carne to deal with such articles a? pearls, diamonds and other precious ! stones. They have been taxing cotton ties 100 per cent., cutlery 90 per cent , and I other articles of necessity from 50 to 75 I per cent. I Mr. Allison moved to reduce the tax ! on pearls from 25 per cent to 10 per cent. Tn support of this proposition Mr. Sherman said : 'Ail experience showed that where there was a high duty on articles of jewelry they were smuggled. It was I very popular to 6ay that such luxuries j should pay high rates of duty. That I was true, but the rates should not be ! Dut so high that they could not be col I lected ' 4So high' means in this instance 25 per cent The average rate of duty on j all imported article? taxed at all is 47 ? per cent. Under the Allison Bill ii j would p.Joably reach 60 per cent, j A cotton planter needing tic* for Iiis I bales sends to England "for ?1,000 j worth of ties for himself and his ncigh ' bo?-s. Under the Allison Bili the duty I collected at the Custom House would be '$1.000. But Mr. Levi P. Morton ? wants a pearl necklace for his wife, and j orders one from Loudon costiug $10. j 000. and hi? tax under rh? Allison Bill would be only ?1,000. Here we have the poor man-paying ten dollars for a necessity when the rich man pays one dollar for jewelry, ano the excus-e given by Mr Sherman is that any higher tax j would lead to smuggling.

Ida, for obvious reasons, said nothing to her father of her interview with Edward Cossey, and thus it carne to pass that on the norning following the lawn tennis party, there was a very serious consultation be? tween tue faithful George and his master. It appeared to Ida, who was lying awake in her room, to commence somewhere {.bout day? break, and it certainly continued, with short intervals for refreshment; till ll o'clock iu the forenoon. First the squire explained the whole question to Gooree at great length, and with a most extraordinary multiplicity of detail, for he began with his first loan from the house of Cassey & Son, which he kad contracted a great many years before. All this while George sat with a very lonj face, and tried to look as though ho were fol? lowing the thread of tho argument, which was not possibly, for his master had long ago lost it himself, and was mixing up tito loan of 1S?3 with the loan of 1*7 i, and the money raised on the severance of tho entail with both in a way which would have driven cay body except George, who was used to ti.ia Bert of thing, ? erfectiy mad. However, he sat it through ; and when a: last the account was finished, remarked thus things "surtiuiy did lcok queer." Thereupon the squire called him a stupid owl, and having hy means of sume test ques? tions discovered that he know very ii Mle of the details which had just boen exi lai ned to him at such portentous length, he, in spite of tue protest ol' the wretched George, who urged that they "didn't seem tu Lo gitting no forrader somabow^ began and weat though every word ol it again. This brought them to breakfast time, and after breakfast George's accounts w-^re thor? oughly gone into, with the resuit that confu? sion was soon worse confounded, for either Grorgo could aot keep acccuuts or tho squire could not follow them, ida, silting in tho drawing room, could continually hear her rather's ejaculatory outbursts aicer tr.is kind: l,VV"hy, you stupid d nkey, you've added it up all wrong; it'sU?O, not 300:"' followed by a "No, no, squire, you he a looking on the wrong sido-them there are the debits," and so on till both parties were fairly played ont, and tho only thing that remained clear waa that the balance was considerably on the wrong side. This was the stato of affairs, when the door bell rang and Edward Cossey, looking par? ticularly handsome and rather overpower? ing, was shown into the room, The squire shook hands with him tins time, though coldly enough, and Georgi touched his forelock and said: "Sarvaut, sir," in tho approved fashion. Thereon his master told him that he might retire, though he was to be ?ure not to go out of hearing, as he should want him again presently. "Very well, sir," answered Georg!?, 'Til just step ap to the poplars. I told a man to be round there today, as 1 want to see if 1 can come to an onderstanding with him about tins year's foll in the big wood." "There," said thu squire with nu expression of infinita d;sgu.-;t, "lhere, that's just like your way, your horrid, cadging wey; tho idea of telling a mun to bo 'round about the Poplars' some time or other today, bc-eaaso you wanted to speak to hun anent a feil. Why didn't you v. rite him a letter like aa or? dinary Christi . and make an oSkr, instead of dodging him round a fara: f-;r half a day like a wild Indian.' Besides, the Poplars is half a mile oil if it's a yard." "Lord, sir," said George, as he retired, "that ain't the way that folia in these parts li?to to do business, that ain't. Letter writing is all very well fer Londoners and other furrincrsj but it don't do herc. De? sales, s:r, I shall bear you wei: enough un there. Sarveat, sir"-this to Eu ward Cossey -and he was gena Edward hurst out laughing; and thesquire looked after Ins retainer with a comical air. ".No wonder that the place hus get ir; such a mess with such a fellow as that to manage it," he said aloud. "The Mea of hunting a man round tho Poplars Farm like-like an Indian squaw. lie's a regular cadger, that's what he is, and that's ell he's fit fur. how? ever, it's his way of d^ing business, and 1 sha'n't alter him. VTel?, Mr. Cossey," he went on, "this is a very sad state of ana:rs, at any rate so far as 1 urn concerned. 1 presume, of course, that y u knew of tho steps which have h'.en tr.!:?*n by Cossey & Son to forco a foreclosure, for that is what it amounts to, though I have i:ct rs yet received the formal notice, indeed 1 [?resume that those steps have been ta;.en under y iur advice." "Yes, Mr. de in Molle. 1 know all about it, and here is the notice ea'lmg in the loons,5*' and he place', a folded paper on the table. "Ah," said the squire, "1 see. As 1 re? marked to your manager, Mr. (?uest, yester? day, 1 think that, considering the nature of the relationship which has existed for so many generations between our family and the business firm of which you are the mem? ber, considering, too, the peculiar circtmi sta::?-os in which the owners cf land fmd theUiSelves at this moment, and the ruinous .loss--to put questions cf sentimentasido. that must Le mC ivied hy >u--h s..le upon thc owuerof property, that moro consideration might Law Leen shown.

In fact, so necessary to nie is it that it should not be mentioned, that if it dijes transpire beforo the affair is completed, ; i shall withdraw my offer, and if it tran j soires afterward I shall cali the money in. !

"1 don't quite ; lite this secrecy about these important inat ' tors of business, but still if you make a point . of it, w hy, of course. 1 cannot obj ct." ! "Very good.

Edward Cossey drove from the castle in a I far from happy frame of mind. To begir. J with, the sqnirp and his condescending way J of doing bu ir.csj irritated him very much., I so much that once or twice in the course of ' the conversation he wa 3 within an ace of ! breaking the w hole t-iing off, and only re I strained himself with difficulty from so do j lng. As it was, notwithstanding ail the sac ; rificcs and money risks which he was under? going to take up these mortgages-and they ? were very considerable even to a man of his j grout prospects-he fait tiiat he had been j placed in the position of a person who ro ! ceives a favor rather than of a person who j grants ono. Moreover, there was an asstunp ; tion cf superiority about thc old man, a j visible recognition of the gulf which used to '. he li .'red between tho gentleman of family ; end tko man cf business who had grown rich by trading in money and money's worth, . which was the more galling because it was : founded on actual fact, and Edward Cossey ; knew it. AU his foibles and oddities not ; withstanding, it would have been impossible j for any man of discernment to entertain a . comparison between the half bankrupt squire j J . the young bunker, who would shortly be : u^r:i> Letween half a million And a million ! sterling. The fermer vas a representative, : though ?i somewhat erratic cue, of ail that is j best iu the old type of Englishmen of g.'-ntle I blood, which is now so rapidly vanishing, ; and, indeed, of the class to which, to avery j large e:..int, this country owes her groat I LOS. j No wonder that Edward Cossoy felt his in ! ferierity to this symbol f.r.d type of the things j that no more arc-yes, even in ike shadow of ! his th ii ty thousand pounds. Tor here we i Lave a different breed. Goldsmiths two cen? turies ago, then tankers trom generation to generation, money bees seeking for wealth and counting it mid hiving it from decade to decade, till at last money became to them ; what honor is to the nobler stock-the per ! rading principle-end the clink of the guinea ; and the rta tiing of the bank note stirred their ; b oo:', as tao clang of armed nan and Hie sound cu t!ie Capping barnier, with its three i golden bawfcs?aming in the sun, was -wont to tot the hearts o? tko race of Buissoy, of ; Dcffer?cdgh, and cf De la Mell?, treating to ! that tune to which England marched on to i win tko world. j And the upshot, of all this is that tho squire I was net altogether wrong when ho declared ? in the silence cf his chamber that Edward ! Cossey was not quite a gentleman. He j showed it when he allowed himself to be ! guided by thc crts cf Mr. Quest into the : adoption of the i<i-a of obtaining a lien upon \ j ida, o be enforced if convenient. Ile showed" I it again, and what is nore he committed a huge mistake, when, tempted thereto by thc . op: rori un tty of the mcmeut, ho made a, <"oa ! d:tional bargain with t': > sai ?

Edward Cossey wa? already violent!". enamored of ida. Kc . was by nature a passionate man, andrs.it chanced, she had proved rho raugtrst with . powor r-1 draw his passion. Lut as the j reader is aware, there existed another com ]\ -avian in his ;.:'..:." v luck tv wrs not j-r j i..:p entir* iv responsible.

Tais' was tho state ci affairs before ho became attached to Ida ?Ie la Mo'.';-, after waic'a the horizon grew blacker than ever. At first Le tried to get out of thc dif? ficulty by avoid!::;; Lia. bul it did not an? swer. She exercised an irresistible attraction over bira. Her calm and stately presence was to him what the sight of the mountain mows aro to ono scorched by continual heal. Ho was weary of passionate outburst-, tears, agonies, alarms, presentimc::ts and ail the parapberualia of secret love It appeared to bira, looking up ut the beautiful snow, that if coco be could reach ::, hie would ail ba sweetness mal light, that there would be no more thirst, no more fear, and no moro forced marches through those ill odored, quagmires of deceit. The more ue a-!Io wed bis Imagination to dwei? upon the picture tho fiercer grew his io:-ging to possess- ic Also lie knew well enough that to marry a woman like Ida de la Molle would bc the greatest blessing tuat could happen to hun, fer soo would of necessity lift him up above himself. Bue had no money, it is true, but that was a very rainer matter to him, and she had birth, and breeding and beauty and that pr?sence v. hieb commands homage. And so it came to pass that he ft.il dex pl}- and yet more deeply ia love with Ida. and that as he did so his connection with Mrs. Quest (although we have seen Lim but yesterday offering in a passing fit cf tenderness and remorse to ran away with her) became more and mere irk? some to him. And now as he drove leisurely bark to Boisingbam, he felt that he had im? periled all his hopes by a rash indulgence in his trading instincts. Presently the read he was following tock a turn and rev?ale?.', a sight that ci 1 net tend to improve his already irritable mood. Jest here the roadway was bordered by a deep bank covered with trees which sloped down to tho valley of the Ell, at this time of tho year looking its loveliest tu the soft autumn lights. And here, seated on a slope of turf beneath tao shadow cf a yellowing chestnut tree, in such a position as to get a view of the greer, valley and Sashing river, where cattle red and white st<v!.l chewing tte stilj luxuriant aftermath, was no::e other than Ida herself, and. what was more. Ida accom? panied by Col. Qua: itch. They were seated c:i camp stools, and in Iront of each of them v.as aa easel Clearly they were pair-ting together, for even as Edward gr.reJ tho colonel rose, came apel?se bebdad bis com? panions sied, mode a ring of bis thumb and first finger, gazed critically through it at the iad3'"s performance, aud then sadly ?Look his hoad and made seme remark, whereupon Ida turned round and commenced au animated discussion. '.Urn;? mc," said Edward to himself, "if she has not taken up with that confounded old military frump. Painting teether! Ah, I know what that means. Well, I should have thought that if there was one mar. moro than another whom she would have disliked, it would have been that battered looking colonel" lie ?railed up b's horse and re fleeted for a moment, then handed ter reins to bis servant, jumped cut, and climbing through a gap in thc fence walked up to the tree where tbs pair were sitting; So en? grossed were ti.rtv in their argument that they neither saw ncr heard hint. '.It's nonsense, Coi. Qnaritcb, perfect ron serse, if yen will forgive me fer saying sc,** Ida was saying, with warmth. "It is all very well for yon to complain that my trees arc a blur and the castle nothing but a spbtca, bat I am locking at the water, and if I am looking at the water, it is quite im? possible that I should see the trees and the cows otherwise than I have rendered them on the canvas. True art is to paint what tho pointer i ces and as he sees it." Col Qua rit eh shock his bead and sighed. "The cant of t>e impressionist school," bo said, sadly; "cu the contrary, the business of ? the artist is to paint what ho knows to be there," and he gazed complacently at his own canvas, which had the appearance of a spirit drawing of a f ortified place, or of the con? tents of a child's Noai:'s ark. so sti2. so solid; so formidable were its outlines, trees and animals. Ida scragged ber ?boulders, laughed mer? rily, and turned round to find herself face to fueo wirk Ld ward Cossoy. Shs started Lacs: and tier face hardened-then she stret.-acd out her hand and said:M*?3ow do you deir in. her very coldest tones. "How do you do, Mba dela Moller he said, assuming as unconcerned an air as he could, and b . wing slimy to Harold Qnaritefc, who returned the bow cad went Lick to hhj can? vas, w Lieh was r-Iaccd a few paces cf?. "I saw you painting," went on Edward Cassey, in a low tone, . >o I thought ? woaat come and tell yon that I lia ve settled that matter with Mr de la "?ea.-." "Oh, indued." answered [da, hitting viciously at a wasp with her paint brush. "Weil, i h-.rv taat you will find the invest? ment a satisfactcry one.
