The agony that some young mothers undergo
from the caking of milk in the breasts, ulcer.-
tion of the nipple and other painful affections of
the Tamillary organs, is extreme. And yet
few applications of the Ointment would remove
the difficulty and enable the sufferers TO resume
the maternal function and continue to exercise 1t

THE ELECTION.

To-day week the election comes of
in this State for Supreme Judges and for
county offices. What we want is the
people to bear in mind this fact and gov
ern themselves accordingly. The Radi-
Gals are lending every energy to the sue
cess of their ticket, and if they are vic
torious it viii be the fault of those who
profess to hate this very party. There
are some in the community who have
not voted since the war, an@ if they sim
cerely desire the election Of an
honest and competent set Of county
officers who will tighten taxes and re-
store things to a healthy and prosperous
condition, then come to the polls on next
Thursday and deposit three ballots for
the Democratic nominees. Ray, Brown
and Stephens are all good men and pro-
perly fitted to fill the Offices for which
they have been nominated. No objee-
ton can be urged against either Of these
gentlemen, and it is fit and proper that
the good citizens Of Memphis and Shelby
county should give them hearty sup
port on the day Of election. We take it
that the Supreme Court will be properly
filed with an independent judiciary, Cor
the Avalanche supports that ticket. Has

County Democratic Ticket
TEST.

The Sun. in facetious vein this morn
;ny nroposes to run all the editors OF
newspapers in this district for Congress,
the election to come off in November.
Our shining contemporary it seems is
hunting after sensation, and drops on
this method of creating scene, the Ike OF
which was never before produced. We
know of no general good, however, that
might arise in thus transferring to the
race course the dray-horses OF the party,
and for ourself, will decline the proffered
honor. 1t would perhaps serve
asa means of advertising certain news
papers in our city that stand much IN
need of il. And to few of the editors
it would be an opportunity with them
for letting out a large amount OF pent-up
gas. which perhaps would not ind an
outlet otherwise. We we're not surprised
that the Sun should fail to mention the
name of its own editor, j. b. Bingham
in connection with the Congressional
honor, knowing him as we do 10 be an
exceedingly modest gentleman. II the
ticket is bound to be made up OF this
unfortunate class of the community. we
insist that the name of the editor OF the
Sun be substituted for our own, that he
may prove himself on the stump, as
when sitting on his tripod, equal to the
emergency of defending and advocating
Democratic doctrine. Who knows what
might come of bringing out such men as
Bingham, Kellar, Tyler and Moses Par
rish TO the 'front.' These are men who
have never been tried before the people
in the capacity of public debators, and it
might be that one or all of them would
develop latent talent for natural oratory,
the like Of which was never before known.
Think, for moment, Of these. with the
very power of their eloquence transhx-
ing the multitude to the spot that each
individual man then should occupy within
the rumble of their powerful noises.

this last will no doubt be the greatest

merely intimated that we had been in'

that its editor was trying to get back
into the Democratic ranks again, having
discovered after short trial that there
was nothing to be coveted on the out
side

New 1Ork hc0sIhob Oh tnc war
From the Tribune.l
Far from subsiding, the interest in the
question at issue in Europe grows more
intense, as, day after day, the contradic-
tory messages are received by the cable.
A very large majority of those who
speak the German language on this side
of the ocean are united for fatherland.
The distrust with which the Austrians
are viewed in Europe does not prevail
here, for many of the leading men of
that nation now in exile on these shores
have contributed largely to the funds col
lecting in this city and elsewhere for the
benefit of Prussia. 1t is stated that up
ward Of $2j0,000 have already been sub
scribed, and that arrangements are max
ing to establish fuRd which will permit
of weekly contributions during the war.
A large number of those who, by the mi
litia laws of Prussia, are obliged TO re-
turn to their country in case of war, have
left to fulfill their obligations-some pay
ing the expenses out of their own saw
ings, others helped by the rich German
merchants.
Large crowds collect daily around
the bulletins at the Newspaper offices, and
the little barefooted urchins who peddle
the issued extras, never had larger de-
mand for their stock. Some twenty
clubs of German sympathizers have
been organized in the city and new calls
are issued for German popular meetings.
The stir and hustle among them is in
marked contrast to the seeming quiet OF
the Frenchmen. These have not made
any display, but there is no reason for
surprising that they are less unanimous
or less earnest and wiling to do what is
in their power for the success of the
French arms. Fearing difficulties of a
serious nature, the more prominent
French citizens from the beginning have
cautioned their countrymen not to make
any display, but to act quietly and earn
estly. French clubs, however, have been
formed, and large contributions for the
aid of wounded French soldiers are
pouring in. Persons Wishing to join the
army are sent over free of expense to
themselves. Confidence as to success is
generally expressed, except among the
Republicans.

SAD RAILROAD ACCIDENT

ST. LOUIS, Nay 12.-At IS this
forenoon, the night express train ON
the Missouri Pacific Railroad, which
left Atchison, Kansas yesterday eve
ming, collided, near Eureka, % miles
from here, with an extra freight train
going west. Sixteen persons were
killed outright, and twenty wounded,
two OF whom will die. No names are
known at present. The wounded were
brought here. Further particulars will
be obtained as soon as possible. The
dead will be brought here as soon as

A special train left here early

necessary appliances for the relief of
the wounded and care of the dead.
Another train will leave at noon with
a coroner, reporter, and another relief
party.
Both locomotives are completely
wrecked and the trains badly smashed.
The collision occurred through the mis-
apprehension of orders given to the
conductors.
Hudson Z. Bridge, president, and
Thos Mckessock are on the spot do
ing every thing possible for the relief
of the sufferers and to clear the tracks.
