few days aro, in which he SAID "there
was no prominent Fenian leader in
Ireland who was not aided and push.

This is no doubt true, but the ignoble
Earl was UNANIMOUSLY at fault when,
after admitting that great discomfort
existed in Ireland, he added that it
was Exclusively nourished by the
Irish in America" BY coming to
this country the lrishman betters his
condition, and especially his prospects,
UNNECESSARILY, while at the same
time he retains an ardent love for his
native land and quenchless longing
for his release from British despotism;
but it is absurd to claim that The
Irish AT home would be content were
it not for their trans Atlantic friends

ssa.The Richmond Wing states
that large majority of the popula-
tion of Virginia think that wealth is
in the cities, and that the city is the
place to get rich. He tells them
that this is dclusion, and that the
cultivation of the lands Of the State
in small farms, by personal industry,
would show that the surest way to
make money and to grow rich is to
till the soil. What is true iu this re-
spect in Virginia is true in all the
other States. The great trouble now
is, that too many many people crowd
into the cities, and too few engage
in agricultural pursuits; hence the
high price of the necessaries of life.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Pure Blood, Muddy water.

Pure blood may be compared to pure water, and
impure blood to muddy water. If you pass mud
dy water through muslin you soil it continue the
process nd you cover it with thick mud. Blood
passes through all parts of the body; if good and
pure it nouri.shes and cleanses the parts it goe
through. If impure it leaves more less dirt be-
hind it BnAxDaETH's PILLS are the medicine
wanted, because they made on purpose to take
dirty humors out OF the body, and they never fail.
These pills scrofna. of forty years stand
ing; they have cured cases of rheumatism when
the patient had not wall ed for four years of par
alysis where the legs had lost their power of
ment for seventeen years. The evidence in these
cases cannot be disputed. Is there town in the
world where such Evidence exists not? If BRAN

know that such evidence can be found.
