A piece of poetry is going the rounds
OF the Democratic papers which winds up
by calling upon the soul of Washington
to save them from their shame We
don't think that the soul of Washington
would try TO save so much corruption
from shame. Better call upon the soul
of Wilkes Booth or some one that is ac-
quainted with your party.

Delicacies.

One Of the special delicacies OF modern
times may be accounted Speer's Port
Grape Wine, which combines with rare
purity aud nicety of favor the good quail
tiles of port and claret; it is neither iu-
sipid nor bitter, but hits the happy medi-
um most to be desired in a constant bev-
erage or 10 drink for the sick. For
invsiids 1T is invaluable by virtue Of its
tonic qualities, and particularly its abso-
lutte freedom from all ,dulterations. Act.
ual trial will show that Speer's port grape
wine has excellence of its own unriyslled
by any other wine in the market.-Aeu,

Special Notice.

We wish to call the attention of our readers to the column advertisement headed Purify Your Blood" 10 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. IL gives us much pleasure to be able in this manner to recommend to our peo- pie these remedies, as years of trial show they fully deserve. Dr. Thos. A. Hurley's Sarsaparilla, the Great Blood Purifier, needs only to be tried to be fully appreciated. His Bitters, (Hurley's,l are tho best and purest now offered for sale. For debility and loss of appetite no others ought to be used Hurley's Ague Tonic is harmless in it's effect and never fails to cnre 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- cur from using it. Mothers try one bottle. and in future you win get no other. Also Dr. Seabrooks Elixir of Pyrophosphate of iron and Calasaya; also Dr. Bettison's Eng, Horse Liniment, and James Puddle < Co.'S 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 recom- mended with as much confidence as tho pre-. scrirticn cfa regular physician.

 The "trooly loil' negroes of this city call themselves "Wamps." What is the meaning of this extraordinary word {? What is Wamps? Who are Wamps {? Can General Meade explain it? And if not. will he issue an order subversive and suppressive of Wamps, should Wamps appear in his district? We sub init that Wamps is just as unintelligi- ble as K. K.

tions of obivalry, he alluded to Beau- regard, Jackson, and General Forrest. who was sitting with Col. Avery and some other gentlemen on the platform. and to other Southern heroes. The en- tire address occupied over two hours : it was an able expose of Radical usur- patton, and thorough vindication of the Constitution of our fathers, versus tyranny and the personal and political corruption of the desperate faction in power. He predicted that the intellect of the South would again assert its sway in the nation, and control the brute force which has temporary as- cendancy. The audience listened with strict attention and evident delight throughout. The threatening condi- ton of the weather kept many from attending, and we express the desire of a class of the. public in hoping that Mir. Mallaly will repeat the lecture.

Des Arc weekly citizen., 1868-04-18

EsE~ A large and strictly elite audi ence attended the New Memphis thea ter last evening tn hear the masterly argument of MT. John Mullaly, in be- half of constitutional liberty. It is not our purpose to give full report, as
 nothing but verbatim production, which we are not prepared to give, would do him justice. The lecturer was introduced by Col. John Martin in very
 happy terms, alluding to the disturbed
 condition of the country, the great events tran spring at Washington, and
 the eminent character of Mir. Mullaly as an advocate of liberty, fearless journalist and statesman. The lec-
 turer came forward and was greeted with hearty applause. In the early part of his lecture he stated the position of the Northern Democracy on the great questions of the day, and drew strik-
 ing parallel between the rebels of 'T6
 and those so-ealled of 1867, observing
 the remarkable coincidence that both
 figures and principlg<Ae reversed. He
 was willing to be Naased as rebel . when he found himself in company with such staunch and renowned Cop perheads as Washington, Hancock, Lee, Putnam. Marion and others of that class. Modern loyalty was discussed in scathing terms. In regard to the fu- lure, he expressed the confident hope that Radicalism will be utterly defeat ed, and in few years from now scarce ly one will be found. full fiedged. In proof of this he cited the recent elec- tions in the North, and the great reQc- ton going on there. He gave 8 histoN
 of the movement, from the time the c.-4 ic NrfnfNrv xUac oaipaI at GalIatin, Connecticut, the home of Sey- mour, up to the present time, when the nutmeg State, Maryland, Kentucky
 New Jersey. New York, California and other States stand committed against the despotic and unprincipled party in power. The deliverance is coming, and if win be an occasion of retribution to the Radical party. The glad sound oi victory is heard in the North and the reaping time is not very far distant
 Northern eyes are opened, and these elections mean something more than mere local issues. It IS the voice of the neople rebuking favoritism, corruption and tyranny. Radical buiiies, such as Butler. Wade. Stevens, Pope, Mrs. Su- san E. Anthony, Mrs. Cady stanton and others, were taken UP by detali ana exposed in language of witherlng scorn Give us a true Government, ana real loyalty will be spontaneous and apuna, ant. He admired tirmness, ana saio that truculence would only inVlte the persecution of tyrants. In concluslont he paid a beautiful tribute to the Whoie women of the South, and the true chi- yslry which reverences and defends ie- male purity of character AS illustra-

I am free to confess that 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 I can get the medicine directly from you. If can get it upon easy terms, l shall use great deal of it. l am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to tho teachings and practice of a great majority of the regular line of M D's, but.I see no just cause or good sense in dis csrding remedy which we know to be efll- cient, simply because we may be ignorant of it's combination. For my part. l shall make it rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which l 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, l 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.
