THE ADAMS FAMIL Y.
Hon. Charles Francis Adams.


From The Hartford Post Oct. 10.
The Democratic papers of late have studiously
represented Charles Francis Adams. late nlted
mour and Blair in unison with his son, John
Quincy. We violate no confidence In saying
that these representations are entirely false,
and that in private conversation with intimate
friends he expresses himself as strongly In
favor of Grant and Colfax, and declares that he
shall feel IL his duty to vote for them at the
coming election. He says that he came home
10 obtain that rest to which he thinks his age
and his long public services entttle him. and
public life. The various newspaper paragraphs
In regard to his position are very distasteful to
him, and he desires only that he may be per-
mttted TO enjoy peace In future.

What is this Medicine Called "The
Queens Delight"

WHY. it is the most extraordinary in
w vention as a remedy for curing dis
ease and restoring health we have ever
been called upon to record. 1t is new
vegetable combination, possessing in a
single product tho new principles for heal
ing the sick and restoring the health. 1t
purifies the fountain Of life-the blood
and as the life of tho flesh is pure blood,
so impurity must be disease and death to
the body. 1t is tonic bitters, and may
be given in all cases of weak Digestion
loss of appetite, dyspepsia, debility, de-
pressed mind and body, wcariness Of
limbs. 1t is an invigorant; it infuscs new
life to the blood, by removing the humors
and impurities which check the healthful
circulation. 1t is stimulant; it gives ac-
tivity to the nervous fluids, AMI invigorates
the organs of life. II is the only medicine
yet discovered that comes up to the true
standard of merit and worth, and secures
to the invalid and the diseased the great
est of all blessings-heath. Ask for

that he could not sleep, thus summed
up the causes: GA wailing babe,
seventeen months old, dog bowling
under the window, cat in the alley,

and his wife discoursing on the rights
of women and tyranny of man, and

A Great Spring and Summer
AND RESTOREE

NOW is THE TIME TO CLEANSE OUT
In those rERILOUS SPOTS, Pimples,
corrupt sores, which POLLUTE tho LIFE
of the BLOOD, and render your body a
loathcsome thing. They are the precur-
sors OF diseased blood, and will assume
much more formidable shape if allowed
to go on unchecked. The QUEENS DE-
LIGHT, the only real blood purifier that
has ever been invented, as thousands will
to-day attest, is offered to the afflicted as
positive remedy for all diseases flowing
from vitiated condition of the system.
THE LIFE OF THE FLESH is PURE
BLOOD. Upon this theory alone the in
yentor of the Queens Delight establishes
BLOOD NO FLESH IS FREE FROM DIS.
EASE. The Pale and Shrunken Forms,
Yellow Faces. Weak Stomachs, Diseased
Liyers, Crippled Rheumatics, Nervous
Hypochondriacs, Dyspeptic Victims of
Headache, so common in this country, is
owing entirely to the humors of the blood
Very many other diseases may be traced to
bad blood, Scrofula or Kings Evil, Erysi-
pelas, Exauthema or Elevure, a rash or
eruption on females; Blotches, Tetter,
Goitre or Swelled Neck, Syphilis and Sy-
phllltic Sores, Strumous Ulcers, &c,
These cannot be cured without purifying
the blood. Now as to the remedy. There
is no other blood purifier that will accom-
Piion ouCu PosiIiFe anu extraordinary cures
as Heinitsh's Queens Delight. You may
take barrel of extract Sarsaparila, and
still you will not be cured; and, as proof
| OF 1t, look around and you will observe tho
country, throughout its length and
breadth, is flooded with compound Sarsa-
parillas, extracts and syrups, claiming to
be blood purifiers, and yet we see to-day
than ever. Why is this? Simply because
these extracts and Sarsaparillas are worth
less medicines.
The Queens Delight is new compound
and is now the great blood medicine; sane
toned by the profession, patronizcd by the
highest dignitaries of the land, endorsed
by everybody.
In the brief period of twelve months,
over 8, 600 cases have been treated 80 sue
cessfully as to entitle it to be the wonder
of the age.
For debility, prostration, nervousne So,
mental depression, impaired digestion,
loss OF appetite, restlesness, want Of vital
force. Low spirits; it is more invigorat-
ing and strengthening than all the COM
pounds of bark or bitters. As liver
invigoratOr, it is of inestimable value. AS
stimulant, it is safer and surer than all
the rum and whiskey tonics of the day,
and if you value your life and health
pins fee, avoid these quickening stimn-
!ants to the grave and use the Queens
Delight. Ask for Heinitsh's Queens De-
light. This is not the Extract Of Stellin-
gia or Queens Delight. nor is it o Com
pound Syrup Of Queens Delight, or Sarsa-
Parilia and Queens Delight, but simply
Heinitsh's Queens Delight is the trade
mark. Ask for this if You want to be
cured, and see that the name of E. H.
Heinitsh is on the wrapper. Prepared only

LoNaEv1TY.-The New Orleans
Times says: "The Co,reo, of Vera
Cruz, states that Mexican died re-
Gently in that city, 104 years old. A
San Francisco paper also speaks of q
Spaniard now living in Todos Los
Santos, in Lower California, who
was born in 1924, and is consequent
ly in his 125th year. This patriarch,
whose name is Simon Avilos, served
in the Spanish army moro than n
century ago. He was member of
the guard which accompanied Parde
,Junipero Sierra to Alta California,
and saw the Holy Gross planted in
the village San Diego, about 100
years ago. Notwithstanding his ad
vanced age, he is said to retain his
memory in excellent condition; hears
perfectly we'll, and enjoys the same
health as an ordinary man of forty.
"About forty years ago, there was
an old woman at the Bay st. Louis,
in Mississippi, who had reached the
wonderful age Of 125 years. The
venerable Mrs. Candy, mother of
John L. Miller, of New Iberia, and a
connection of Major General Candy,
died on her plantation near New
Iberia, fifteen or eighteen years ago,
at the agh of 107. Jacob Barker,
who, before his pecuniary misfor-
tunes, was as hale and active as most
men of fifty, is upwards of ninety
years old. The Attakapas and
Opelousas. country is said to be re-
markable for the longevity of the
native population. There was once
a superstition among the American
settlers on the prairies of that region,
that the natives did not die, like
common people, but became changed
into leather-winged bats. Vernon
County, Tennessee, has a negro man
within her borders who is 122 years
of age. Strange to say, he was never
body servant to General Washing
