A CITIZEN.

STUMP CANDIDATEs.-We see that several
politicians are acting on hint thrown out
some time back in the columns of this jour
nal, and presenting themselves before the
people as candidates for office without the in
tervention of primary committees or nominal
ing conventions. Mr.. Gilbert s. Nixon mott
fies the public that he is an independent can
didate for the Office of County Clerk, by nd
.vertisement in contemporary; and Mr.. Wheel
err is to run, we understand, as stump candi-
date for Congress at the next election. This
is the sensible mode Of proceeding; and in
course of time it will come to be generally
adopted. 1t is the only way in which we can
get rid of the rowdyism, the corruption and
the rscality which mark every proceeding Of
the primary committees, and send to the
Legislature and Congress men who really
represent public sentiment. AS at present
managed, our elections are partly swindle
and partly farce. Mr.. Nixon and Mr.. Wheel
or are setting good example, and political
considerations apart, we think they will not
be losers by their boldness.-N. Y. Herald.

LIQUORS AT PUBLIC DINNERs.-We learn
that Lord Elgin remarked to gentleman of
our city, that there was one feature of the
reception given him in Portland with which
he was particularly pleased-that of public
dinner without liquors of any kind. This he
added, was the first public dinner of which he
ever partook which was strictly teetotal
affair, and from the handsome manner in
which this passed of, he was satisfied that
for a company called together as that was, it
was better to exclude liquors than to admit

EFFECT OF THE HEAT.-We noticed on
Tuesday, says the Newberry Sentinel, that
the rails on the Greenvile g. Columbia rail
road had expanded very much from the ex-
cessive heat The vacant spaces between
them were closed up, and the rail drawn up
in the form of an arch, five inches at the
highest point from the stringer, at the same
time drawing outtwo spikes The rails were
so hot that it was like handling hot Goals to
touch them. We noticed two other rails

Gen. Schilders had his leg shot oil, and two

The carnage among the Russian troops was
dreadful, and they retired fighting across the

thereon. The Turks then brought out their
guns, and erected temporary batteries on the
Bulgarian bank of the river, before the north

1t should be borne in mind that we have
pursued course entirely different from the
usual mode, in bringing our. medicines to the
notice of physicians. The recipes of Stabler's
Anodyne Cherry Erpectordnt and Diarrhea
Cordial have been made known confdentiallH
to upwards of five hundred medical men,
every one of whom recommend them as high
ly efficient remedies. The Expectorant has
been pronounced by them to be an excellent
remedy in all cases of Coughs, Colds, Group,
Bronchitis, Asthma, and diseases of the Lungs
and Throat generally. The Darrhea Cordial
has also received their unqualified praise as
remedy for diseases of the bowels, both in
children and adults; and the many cures that
these good medicines" have effected, prove
the physicians opinion well founded. They
should be kept in every family, ready for in
slant use when occasion may require See
advertisement in another column, and descrip-
tive pamphlets, to be had gratis of the agents.

4 GOOD CONPARTSON

n oOOb OOMI AhlOON.
The Rev. William Rouatt,, well known
Methodist clergyman, residing at Naples, draws
the following amusing but apt comparison be-
tween DR.. M'Lanes celebrated Vermifuee
and a ferret:
"a ferret, when placed at the entrance of
a rat hole, enters the aperture, travels along
the passage, seizes upon the rat, exterminates
his existence, and draws the animals defunct
carcass to the light. And in like manner
have found DIR. NJ Lanes American Verml-
fuge to operate upon worms, those dreadful
and dangerous tormenters of children. This
remedy, like the ferret, enters the aperture of
the mouth, travels down the gullet, hunts
round the stomach, lays hold of the worms
shakes the life out of the reptiles, sweeps
clean their den, and carries their carcass clear
out of the system. This, at least, has been
the effect of the Yermfuge upon my children"
A neighbor of Mr.. Roulatt, Mr.. John Briggs,
adopts the simile of the reverend certifier,
thus both giving their most unequivoca APP
proval of this great specific, after having wit
messed its operation upon their own children.
Let Others try it and be satisfied
Purchasers will please be careful to ask for
DR.. WLane'e Celebrated Vermifuge, and take
none else. All other Vermifuges in COMPARE
son, are worthless. DR.. MLane's genuine
Vermifuge also his Celebrated Liver Pills,
can now be had at all respectable Drug Stores
in the United States and Canada.
