election q commissioned officer of the
United States and military commander
in Mississippi under the reconstruction
acts of Congress and whether he has
since resigned.
Mr.. Pomeroy said the credentials of

DISEASES OF. THE KIDNEYS AND

Persons unacquainted with the structure and
functions of the Kidneys cannst estimate the
importance OF their healthy action.
Regular and sufficient action Of the Kidneys
is as important nay even more so, than Tegu.
larity of the bowels The Kidneys remove from
the Blood those effete matters, which if permit
ted to remain would speedily destroy life. A
total suspension of the urinary discharges will
occasion death in from thirty six TO forty eight
hours.
When the Urine is voided in small quantities
at the time, or when there is disposition Ia
Urinate more frequently than natural, or when
the Urine is high colored or scalding with weak.
ness in the small Of the back, 1t should not be
trifed with or delayed, but Koskoo should be
taken at once to remedy the difficulty, before
lesion OF the organs takes place. Most Of the
diseases of the bladder originate from those Of
the Kidneys, the Urine being imperfectly So
GREETED in the Kidneys prove irritating TO the
Bladder and Urinary passages. When we recol.
lect that medicine never reaches the Kidneys
except through the general circulation of the
Blood, we see how necessary it is to keep the

Christmas.

Tomorrow is Christmas the day OF days
when the sublime harmonies which nine
teen centuries ago sounded on the plains OF
Bethlehem are echoed in the souls OF Chris
tian millions; when the memory OF the
great Evangcl blunts the edge OF bitter
sorrow when age drives cankering care
away, and youth heholds myriad hopeful
CLEANS in the uncertain vistas OF the future!
For five years the South has struggled to
heal the wounds OF horrid war. The people
have worked with dogged energy that they
might wrest fortune from the iron teeth OF
'adversity. 1t is true that the prospect is
not as bright as when the summer heats
ripened the silvered soil. But the people
know their power. Blows and buffets have
strengthened their moral fibre. They have
learned the sweet uses of ailliction. They
feel that, in Gods good time, self-reliance,
self-reverence and self-control will give them
the crownng victory.
Yet the thronging memories OF four years
of carnage are not ohliterated hy the events
of FIVE years Of peace. In every breast there
liusers the remembrance OF martyred saints,
who, in the flush Of manhood or with the
SHOWS OF winter on their brow, fought and
bled under the cleaning banner whose stars
have faded from our sight-whose cross we
would gladly bear forever. These knightly
soldiers our comrades, our brothers, fathers,
sons-taught the South, by their death,
lesson of endurance and fortitude, OF cour-
ageous perseverance and unsellish devotion,
whose fruit will live whatever else may die.
Cheerfuiy as We may, then, let us turn
to the Christmas merry-makiug 1t is
season OF kindness and love; OF charity and
peace. The poor have peculiar claim;
they depend upon their prosperous neigh
bors for their Christmas festival. And this
is the time when the SHINING and the sinned
against may pluck the bitterness from their
hearts, and forgive as they expect to be for
given For them who cherish animosity aud
nurse their anger, however just it seem,
there is no happy Christmas.
Faith in Providence, hope for the future,
charity towards Ill men-thesc are the
Christmas gifts which will, we trust, be found
on the morrow in every home in the State.
