morrage, and Splitting Blood.
IS|Try it and let it speak for itself.=Sn
WAsHINGToN, March 6, 1912.
DEAR SrR: Upon your renewed request, cannot
with Justice any longer withhold from you my rti-
fcate of confidence in the efficacy Of the g Lile-Pre
server" as a cure for hoarseness and cough.
In the fall of 1910, | was much exposed TO night
air. and often took cold hich attended by hoarse-
ness and slight cough without fever or much other
indsposition In December, scarcely ever
free from this complaint and during the early part of
the next February was never without some degree
of hoarseness. or cough until, despairng OF the
suflicency of Pease's Hoarhound Candy" and
common remedies, was induced to make trial of
your Life reserver Before the middle of March
last the use Of your medicine seemed to be the rat
cause of relief from the hoarseness and slight cough
which had so long annoyed me, and which all the
usual remedies had failed to remove.
If any one be led to make the experiment, az
did so happily of your offered good he will at least
find in it as pleasant and harmless physic as can be
administered in the mode prescribed by you.
am, very respectfully, yours,
Mr.. RICHARD THOMPSON.
Ts The Life Preserver is now put mp in candy,
and may be had of the proprietor and his agents.
For sale by the proprietor, on Missouri avenue,
between Sd and l-2 streets, and by w. YOUNG,

When, as is frequently the case, parties run pref
ty close in this state there is generally wing
majority IN the Cd and 81 districts, and demo-
cratic minority large enough to give the democrats
a majority in tho whole state ia the first. This
being the case, suppose our state cut up into SIM
gle districts as the apporionment law directs and
is it not very likely that in pretty closely contest
the seven congressman, aud yet the democrats
might have handsome majority in the state
And would such delegation be fair represent

Recovery Of Speech By MagneitSm.--Thc NY.
Morning Post of the 20 inst contains an account
of a cure which was effected on lady of that ci-
ty who had not spoken for two years-had been
afflicted with most troublesome and incessant
hacking cough, and was fast wasting away The
cure was performed by the Rev. Mr.. Sunderland,
who, in the first place, put the lady into the mag
neic sleep, and commenced a conversation with
her, and after some other experiments, told her to
speak as she used to do, which, it is said, she in
stantly obeyed-that the use of speech continues,
and that she is otherwise recovering her health.
detailed account of the operation is given in the
Waterman, a religious paper, edited by Mr.. T..
w. Goodwin.

A Good Hea.--A schooImastcr in ALLEGHENY,
Pa, has adopted a novel mode of preserving or
der and inducing proper attention to their stu
dies on the part of his pupils. For misconduct or
inai'cnIion mark is set opposite the name of the
scholar, and Immediately before dismissal the pu-
nlshment is inflicted thus: if but one scholar has
mark, he receives one blow from the master; il
two, each receives two; if twenty, each Of the
Offenders receives the full twenty: thas increasing
IN arl'hmelical progression. BY the adoption OF
this plan each offender is personally interested in
inducing his comrades to preserve order and at
attend 10 their duties; and, we are informed it has
the most beneficial effect.

The excitement all over the state is tremen-
Ious. Mass meetings unprecedented in size
many being attended by 5000 to 10000 persons
are being held in every county, and the traitors
who undertook to dissolve the government because
they were unable to rule The majority, are denounc
ed in terms of becoming severity. 1t must be
plain to every one that there can be no jusitica-
ton offered for the course pursued by the disor-
ganzcrs Were it even true that by the appor-
tionment bill to prevent the passage Of which the
wings resigned the state was UNANIMOUSLY gerry
wandered, this surely could never justify such
revolutionary step; for the law must not neccs-
saIily last for ten years but may be altered or re-
pealcd and another passed in its stead, by the very
next legislature. But the charge OF gcrrymanler-
ing brought against the democrats is far from be-
ing true. From an article published in the Ohio
Statesman it appears that at the last governors
election in that state large wing maj1ritics were
given in thirteen out of the fcentyoae districts as
formed by the bill which passed the house. Thus
it will be seen the main reason urged in ustifca-
ton of the wings is without foundation. Why,
then, it may be asSed did the wings resort to such
violent measures to defeat bin of which they
had so little reason to complain The answer is
easily given. A few conspicuous whig5--thc lea.
ders of the party in both houses--want to 90 to
congress; by joining with ono or two democrats
in the senate who had similar desires, they mana
ged TO cut out set of districts just to suit them
Ivy means Of strict party drill the bill was passed
through the senate; and it was sent down to the
house. a bait was prepared in it to catch the
votes OF one or two democrats in the house, and
they were confident Of success The house came
to vote upon 1.-THE votes were counted--lbe bin |
was rejected by one vote Alaldened by dsap.
poinmcni, the whig leaders were prepared rush |
into any extremes. They prevailed upon thcir
interchangeable hi---to resign with them, and
thus put at once stop to all legislation. In
moment of high excitement and when all cool rea-
son was banished ii was donc---but when thew
had time for cool reflection they began TO see
the Importance Of the step they had taken--they
trembed when they contemplated their position
they showed signs OF contrilion--and many ex-
pressed their willingness TO retracc their steps.
But it was too late. They are now cast upon the
tender morces of the peupe-juslicc surely ,OW
be done lhom-and doom, doom! inevitably awaits
tue traitors at the polls.
