An Enoch Arden case.

From the Mitchell, Qud) Conmoroial.l
Some years ago, Paris Shirley married a
Mics Tate (step-daughter of Richard Hous-
ton, } near Bloomington, in this State. Some
time after the marriage Shirley removed TO
Illinois, where, in the course of time, he
bought drove of cattle, and after sending
his wife and two or three children back to
Bloomington to remain with their friends
until his return, be started with his cattle to
California a short distance beyond Salt
Lake City, he was captured by the F'lathead
Indians and his cattle contscated He re-
NAMED in captivity some eight or ten years
During all this time his friends heard not a
word from him, and he was supposed to be
dead. In the meantime his wife sought and
obtained divorce, and was married about
year ago, and removed with her husband to
Illinois, and now comes the sorrowful part
Of the story On Thursday Of last week
Shirley returned to his fathers (John

patton of a happy meeting with his beloved
wife and children, and when told that his
wife was married be wept like a child
We learn that he has written his late wife
a letter. alleging that he has the oldest claim,
but the courts can afford no relief
So closely did the red skins keep Mr.
s. confined that he never heard word Of
the rebellion until he made his escape only
a short time ago. He bears upon his person
unmistakable evidence of hard treatment
but he considers this a small matter when
compared to the loss Of the mother of his
children.

following method of healing this annoying
deformity: l make a bandage Of a piece of
strong muslin, about one inch wide and lust
long enough to make two loops (by sewing),
one large enough to slip over the great toe,
and the other to slip over the third toe and
bring them close together, letting the second
toe over or above the bandage, where it fur
nishes precisely the required pressure to
crowd the soft parts away from the nail,
and at the same time to remove the pressure

1910, providing that all women, of what
evera age, rank, profession, or degree whether
virgins, maids or widows, that shall, from
and after such act, impose upon, seduce, and
betray into matrimony, any of His Majesty
subjects, by the scents paints, cosmetic

Popularity of Mr.. Pendleton.

From the Nashville GazettsI
The New York Herald has been inuuir
ing into the causes of the remarkable pODu-
larty of Mr.. PendetOn. 1t has sent a
special messsenser to the West to ascertain
it. 1t has received a long letter from its cor
respondent, and editorially though strongly
opposed to Mr. Pendleton a a Presidential
candidate, is constrained to say
But wherein lies the wonderful strength
Of Pendleton, this Samson, Of the West,
among his people He is a man of fine
abilities, good presence, high character,
genial manners, and in his immediate com
munity a man Of great personal popularity.
These things, however, have not made him
the presidential favorite of the Western
Democracy. They have rallied around him
as the embodiment Of their ideas or the DO
litical questions of the day. He believes in
State rights and State sovereignty touching
tho question of suffrage, and so do they. He
holds, and so do they, that for the fifteen
sixteen, or seventeen hundred millions Of
ive-twenty bonds ahoat, the holders have no
right to demand gold in redemption, that
they must be satisfied with the national pa
per, declared by law a legal tender, in pay
ment of all debts not specially by law ex-
ceptcd He demands the abolition of the
national banking system as useless and
costly eXcresenCe, the taxing of the Govern
ment bonds, and provisions, through re-
trenchment and economy, for a sinking fund,
with a view to the extinction of the national
debt within five or ten years; and to all
these propositions the followers of Mr.
Pendlet0n respond Amen and amen.
Even so shall it be-" He might go further
without diminishing the number Of his ad-
herents; and doubtless their support Of his
platform arises largely from the belief that
1t means more-much mOre-than it says.

How to Cure a Cancer.

A Milwaukee paper states that some eight
months ago Mr. i. Il. Mason, of that city
ascertained that he had a cancer on his. face
the size of pin. 1t was cut out by Dr.
Wolcott, and the wound partially healed
Subsequently it grew again, and while he
was at Cincinnati on business, it attained
the size Of a hickory nut He remained
there since Christmas under treatment, and
is now perfectly cured. The process is this !:
A piece of sticking plaster was put over tho
cancer, with a circular piece cut out of the
center little larger than the cancer, so that
the cancer had small circular rim of the
healthy skin next to it exposed. Then a
plaster made of chloride of zinc, blood root
and wheat -four was spread on a piece Of
muslin the size Of this circular opening, and
applied to the cancer twenty four hours. On
removing it the cancer viii be found burnt
into and appear Of the color and hardness
of an old shoe sole, and the circular rim out
side of it will appear white and parboiled,
as If scalded by hot steam The wound is
now dressed, aud the outside rim soon
separates, and the cancer comes out In a
bard lump, and the place heals up. The
plaster kills the cancer, so that it sloughs
out like dead flesh, and never grows in again
The remedy was discovered by Dr. Fell, Of
London, and has been used by him for six or
eight years with unfailing success, and not
a case has been known of the temperance
of the cancer when this remedy has been
applied.

Altrays BeaudfUL-At a festival party
oil old and young, the question was asked,
which season of life is most happy? After
being freely discussed by the guests, it was
referred for answer to the host, upon whom
was the burden of four-score years. He
asked if they had noticed grove of trees
before the dwelling, and said " When the
spring comes, and in the soft air the buds
are breaking on the trees, and covered with
blossoms, l think, how beautiful is spring
And when summer comes, and covers the
trees with its heavy foliage, and singing birds
are all among the branches, l think, how
beautiful Is summer When autumn loads
them with golden fruit, and their gorgeous
tint of frost, think, how beautiful is au-
tumnI And when it is sere winter, and
there is neither foliage nor fruit, then /
look up, and through the leaaess branches,
as l could never until now, l see stars shine
through"

GENTLEMEN-Your letter, inviting me to
address a mass meeting in your town on
the 3Oth inst, has been received. I re-
gret that I shall not be able to comply
My time is already disposed of either by
professional or political engagements up to
the day of election.
[ regret my inability to attend with you,
all the more because the recent elections IN
the North have tendency to discourage our
friends and cause relaxation of our efforts.
This greatly needs to be counteracted. l
no not at all regard the election of Sey-
mour and Blair as hopeless, for various
reasons, But even # did, frankly con-
fess that have not been fighting this cam
paign under the impression that our re-
demption was to be attained through the
instrumentality of the national government
Nor have I labored for reform in the gen
eral government. My great aim has been
the regeneration of North Corollna, her
redemption from the grasp of the hungry
vampires who suck her life's blood and
drag down her decent people under the
feet of ignorance and corruption. After
all, this can only be done by our own State
action. 1t is in the power of the Conser-
vative men of the State to work out their
own salvation, let the North vote as it may,
whether Grant be President or Seymour.
Kentucky shook off her shackle5 i'll spite
of the despotism of the national Radical
rule which was upon her. Maryland did
the same, and Georgia is fast accomplish
ing the glorious task. Virginia and Texas
would do so tomorrow, if the bayonet
was Withdrawn from their throats.-
So it would be and aciU be with all of them,
for God has not decreed that the ignorant
African and the renegade whites shall rule
a nobler and superior race longer than the
application of superior physical force and
its attendant decentralization shall maintain
this most unnatural position. If they
would but shake off their fear, there is
nothing whatever to prevent the true men
of North Carolina from carrying the next
election by 10000 majority, without a sim

voted for that infamous Constitution last
