NO effect l also used, diligently, numerous
other medicines, said to be "Ague Cures" In
fact tried almost everything I could think or
hear Of, but all to no purpose. And as "der-
nier resort" sent to B. W. Wood ward, of
Lawrence. for package of his AGUE CURE,
and it is but justice to him and the medicine
he sent me, to say that since commenced tax.

ON Democratic Club.

The organization of Democratic Clubs is
important, and commendable because it is
important and essential to Democratic sue
cess; but when the organization is perfec-
ted, an effort should be made to make the
meetings interesting and instructive. Not
only every Democrat in each Township,
Ward or City should be enlisted but there
should be an effort made to induce Repub-
licans to attend the club meetings. They
can thus ascertain the aims and purposes
of these organizations; and they will at
tho same time have an opportunity fur
nished them of determining whether it is
not for their interest to vote the Demo
cratic ticket, at the ensuing Spring and
Fall elections. An organization that en-
braces simply Democrats will not be sue
cessful to the desired extent. Accessions
must be secured from the Republicans.

Wholesome Talk.

A few nights ago, when the Radicals in
Congress were discussing the Impeach-
ment business in caucus, Judge SPALDING
took occasion to .denounce the whole
movement as piece of the most perfect
folly and insisted that the two months in
vestigation that had been made by the Judi
ciary committee had proved nothing
That's wholesome talk, and it squares ex-
actly with the truth. All along the Demo
cratic press have told their readers the same
thing, while the Republican press have
cried await and see." They have hoped
that something might ''turn up'' that would
furnish them pretext to drive out of tho
Presidency man they were wont to ex-
hibitround3a few years ago as the exemPlal
of immaculate and guiless patriotism.

was a printer, at which business he worked
at Toledo and Columbus, before securing a
place on the Cleveland Plain Dealer as local
editor. The Plain Dealer says that ''as a
mere reporter he was decidedly not "a sue
cess-Iacking unnecessary enterprise and
industry; but he was literally running
over with humor, so that his column was
always favorite with readers, whether it
presented any news or not" While on the
Plain Dealer he commenced his ''Artemus
Ward''. letters, which laid the foundation
for his fame and fortune. He held the po-
sition of local on the Plain Dealer for two
wears, when he was rendered and accepted
an engagement on VdRity Fair, after which
he procured the publication of his book en-
titled !" "Artemus Ward, his book" This
publication had an immense sale. After
wards he entered the lecture field, wherein
be was unusually successful in this coun-
try, and in England an equal measure of
success was attending him, when death
closed his brilliant career at the age of
about 80 years. He was unmarried. and is
understood to have no brothers or sisters.
