political elements now prevailing we
may hope to see eliminated those
better principles which will give new
life to the country. Be not dis
mayed, then, because in the great
upheaval society has undergone you
see the dross now uppermost, nor be
misled by those false lights which
are hung out by worldly prosperity
or unworthy success. Your histori-
cal researches will have made you
familiar with the wondrous story of
that spoiled child of fortune, Sylla,
who gained, from his uninterrupted
career of success, the title of Felix;
and you will remember the remark
able words with which he closed his
commentaries just before his death:
IL saw in O dream one Of my dead
children, who gave me his hand and
exhorted me to abandon the affairs
of earth and to come and enjoy
eternal repose and peace. Thus T
terminate my days as the Chaldeans
predicted, who declared to me that
after having overcome envy by my
glory, l should have the happiness of
dying in the flower of my prospe-
rity."
These were the almost dying words
of one who was, perhaps, the most
successful man (using the term in it's
more worldly acoeptation,) who
ever lived, who, satiated with suc-
cess, disgusted with pleasure, using
his very vices as the means of his
promotion, arose to be dictator of
the Roman republic; who, having
crushed all his enemies, emancipated
the slaves, and trampled on the free
men of his country, died laughing,
surrounded by buffoons, in the arms
of profigates, the wonder, the admi-
ration and the terror of his age.

the man who was called the "Fortu-
nate" and look on another of far

Louisville, Ky. DR. JOHN BULL. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM
Special Notice.

We wish to call the attention of our readers to the column advertisement headed ''Purify Your Blood" to all the articles mentioned in it. All those afflicted by disease, or who have friends suffering from sickness, should care fully read and we know they will derive pro- fit from it. It gives us much pleasure to be able in this manner to recommend to our peo- pie these remedies, us years of trial show they fully deserve. Dr. Thos. A. Hurley g Sarsaparilla the Great Blood Purifier, needs only to be tried to be fully appreciated. His Bitters, (lIurleys,) are the best and purest now offered for sale.. For debility and loss of appetite no others ought to be used. Hurley $ Ague Tonic is harmless in it's effect and never fails to cure if used by directions. Try it. Also his Worm Candy, (Hurley's, cannot be equalled; any child will take it. So it is with Dr. Seabrook's Soothing Syrup, the best and safest now offered, as no bad effects ever oc- eur from using it. Mothers try one bottle, and in future you will get no other. Also Dr. Seabrooks Elixir of Pyrophosphate of iron and Calasaya; also Dr. Bettison's Eng, Horse Liniment, and James Ruddle & Cos Ext. Jam. Ginger. All the above remedies are unequalled; we cannot understand why their remedies might not as well be taken in the special diseases for which they are recon mended, with as much confidence as the pre- scription of a regular physician.

From the Nashville Gazette. Anna Dick kinson Osf Gen. Grant.

The gentle Anna is one of the ablest and most popular orators in the pay of the Radical party. She has done good service for the party in times past. Just now she appears to be stumping it in behalf of those Radicals who do not favor the nomination of General Grant. Anna spoke at Elmira, New York and took occasion to hit the man who does not talk some severe blows. She warned and threatened in her loving way. She said:
 The Radical party cannot live on the memory of it's good deeds.
 Your works in the past won't save you.
 You Radicals shirk the unpopular necessity of putting the black race for ward.
 You want to cover the negro with Grant.
 Unless you give the Northern negro the ballot you won't get the support of the negro South.
 It is not sufficient that Grant was a soldier. Mcclellan was . soldier--fitz John Porter was soldier. It IS not sufficient to write against any mans name-soldier.
 By nominating Grant you snow your selves towards and poltroons.
 Grant is no standard-bearer when principles are to be fought for.
 You want Grant without a platform for the sake of fexpediency and winning the next election. wouldn't have q personal quarrel with General Grant. l dare to say what great many are thinking.
 don't want Grant for President.
 Speech is silver, silence is golden Grants silence is leaden.
 He must speak before he gets the election.
 You can't hurrah for Grant and win on that issue.
 Shame, shame on those Republicans who say "I believe the black man should vote in Louisiana, but under no circumstances here in Elmira :.
 Disintegation stares the Kadlcais m m the face because they are ashamed 10 come out boldly and openly for negro suffrage
 Don't hide your principles, if you have got any, behind the smoke oi one mans cigar,

Having had indubitabie evidence of it's prompt and certain effects from the testimo- ny of multitude of respectable citizens, among whom are classed some of our best physicians, we do not hesitate to recommend this Preparation in all cases of Fever and Ague and Chills and Fever: indeed, from the facts in our possession of it's intrinsic value, it would not be too much for us to state that when the directions are strictly compiled with, we warrant cure in every case where it is tried. It is pleasant to the taste, and the cheapest medicine in the world. There fore, in truth it may be declared the day is not far distant when it must be appreciated and used in every household where Fever and Ague or Chills and Fever is found to exist
 The wonderful operation of the Texas Ton ic Syrup in neutralizng the effects of mala rious poison in the human system. can only explain it's extraordinary agency in the speedy, thorough and permanent cure Of Chills and Fever or Fever and Ague, and all their kindred diseases, in whatever form of Bilious Complaints they may make their ap- pearance.
 As it's name imports it is Il Tonic of rare and medicinal virtues, composed of pure and harmless ingredients, and are so united as to form compound alike skiiiful in art, beau tiful in appearance, and can be taken with safety to the most delicate constitutions. Ii is the result of lifetime of experience and practice in Southern climate, and was new CT known to fail even where ali othe reme- dies had been tried in vain.
 Those who are unaequainted with the ex- traordinarys properties of this home produc- ton, manufactured from Roots and Plants indigenous to the soil of our sunny South, :" (and Lence adapted to the cure of Southern climatic dseascs are respectfully referred to the certificates of respectable citizens whose names are embraced in pamphlet which accompanies each bottle; also the en- dorsements of the press in all the Southern States, indicating the many thousand cures already performed by eur justly celebrated Texas Tonic Syrup.
 Tho reports from hundreds Of Druggists, Merchants and Dealers, from all parts of the country, are uniform in stating the medicine is safe, certain and reliable IS q substitute for Quinine and the poisonous compounds heretofore generally sold, and is rapidly supplanting everything of this class.
 As home enterprise il especially com mends itself to the people of this section of the country, who are now struggling in an effort 10 do away with cd preiadices in favor of foreign produce, and may we not hope foreign '.Quack Nostrums.N the proprietors of which. in most cases, are governed by mo- thing but mercenary motives, know nothing of the properties of Medicinal Agents, and care nothing for our interests, except to en- tice our people into tue use of their vile mixtures.
 The Texas Tonic Syrup is packed in cases of two dozen.
 Dealers supplied upon better terms than any other remedy affords.

 DR. JOHN BuLL-Dear Sir: 1 have recent ly given your ''Worm Destroyer" several trials, and find it wonderfully eficaeious. It has not failed in a single instance to have the wished for effect. l am doing pretty large country practice and have daily use for some article of the kind. | am free to confess that l.know of no remedy recommended by the ablest authors that is so certain and speedy in it's effects. On the contrary they are un- certeain in the extreme. My object in writ ing you is to find upon what terms l can get the medicine directly from you. If can get it upon easy terms, l shall use great deal of it. am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of a great majority of the regular line of M. D. s. but see no just cause or good sense in dis carding a remedy which we know to be eill- cient, simply because we may be ignorant of it's combination. For my part, shall make it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which I may be able to command--not hesitating because some one more ingenious than myself may have learned it's effects first, and secured the sole right to secure that knowledge. However, am by no means an advocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nostrums that flood the country, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which human flesh is heir. Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms am. sir. most respectfully,

Only ten years have elapsed since the discoverer, (wbo spent a decade in studying experiments, and perfect ing it.l first introduced it 10 the public, and it is already recognized by the most eminent physicians in all parts of the country to be the most surprising and effective remedy for certain diseases of which they have knowl- edge.

It is not so with Hurley s preparation.
 This is the pure and genuine extract of the root and will, on trial, be found to effect a certain and perfect cure of the following com plaints and diseases:
 Affection of the Bones, Habitual COstiveness, Diseases of the
