RHEUMATISM AND NEURALGIA.
IN all arthritic complaints, AS rheumatism,
govt, neuralgia ETC., this practice is almost
perfect; The most intense pains are almost
instantly feneved-enormous swellings are
reduced-limbs which have been contracted
and stiff for years are relaxed. Cases of
twenty, thirty and forty years standing
have been cured by me, after all other means
have failed.
A great accomplishments is my triumph
over pain, by which / can often, in a few
moments, soothe and carry off the most ex-
crutiating sufferings.
If this system did nothing more than to
relieve pain, it would stand superior to anv
other system extant.

The hull of the new iron steamer
John T. Moore is divided into eleven

Out through the dense fog of the early
morn and over the half-frozen earth, the
gaily-dressed wood-pecker poured forth
this morning his sweetest strains, and
afar off, and not SO very far either, in a
neighboring China tree the responsive
carol of his lovely mate came back, the
two seeming to welcome the return of
Spring. 1t was then quite cold and
foggy, with ice on the ground, yet in
two hours the sun was shining brightly
from clear sky and there is now every
indication of several days of beautiful
weather. Which goes to prove that the
wood-pecker is Judge of weather, if he
is bug-eater.

THiKrY YEARS slxcELThe 4politieal Reminis-

Thirty YEARS SINCE.-The 'Political Reminis-
cencer which we this week copy from the Cinein-
natl Times, contains several slight errors. SHAN
NoN's majority over CoRwIN, in 1872, was some
1900, instead Of 600. And We never before heard
the result attributed to BROUGH's able canvass.
II came altogether Of fover-confdence on the part
Of the Wings. The State was decidedly Wing be
fore and after 1892; but in that year, the 18th
Of September, only about week or ten days be-
fofe the election. the great CLAY Barbecue was
held in Dayton 1t was probably the largest po-
litical meeting ever held in the United States.
1t seemed as if all Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky
were there. The Wings were there from all over
Ohio, and the crowd and enthusiasm were 50 great,
they imagined that there was nothing left of the
Democracy. They returned home on the eve of
the election, with the idea that the victory was
won without further effort; while the Democracy
turned out Mt the polls, and carried the day. 1t
was a sad slam on the Wings, and probably any
other man than CoRwIN would have taken it
to heart. In his speech at the Dayton meeting,
he had alluded to the efforts of the Democracy to
beat him, their charges against him, and their
hatred of him; and had wound up with telling
them to take good look at him, 'for you have
got to be governed by this old black fellow two
years longer"

Stealing.

This is the chief hobby of the Democracy, just
now. They like to talk about it, and Of course
like to hear about it. As it is fertile subject,
and an interesting one, want to do all in our
power to crafty them.
The most extensive and outrageous stealing ey-
er done in this or any other country, was done
when the Democracy were last in power-duriDg
the Democratic Administration Of james buchan-
an, by his Democratic ofice-holders-
They stole all the money in tho Southern Gus
ton. Houses, amounting to millions of dollars
They stole the money in the Southern Post Of
fccs, and even the posfase stamps.
They stole all the Government guns and nu-
uit;ons that were in the Soufh; and they sent all
that they could reach to the south, and stole
them.
They sole all the Government vessels of war
they Ssnld lay their hands on, and sent Others ON
voyages where they might be stolen.
They attempted to steal all the Government
soldiers sailors and officers educated at Govern
ment expense, and did steal all who would con-
sent to be stolen.
They stole the Government forts and defences,
and did their best 10 steal the existence of the
American nation.
They have ever since been grnmbiing because
the Republican party created a debt to make good
these losses, and to punish the thieves.
And now they want the people to put them in
power again, because the Republicans are such
there's!

DREADFUL LSUICIDE-MAND DELIBERATELY THROWS
HIMSELF INTO THREsHING MACHINE AND Is
Torn TO ATOMs-One of the most remarkable
suicide, on record occurred last week at little
village in Indiana, short distance east of India
napolis the circumstances of which are as follow
is: "A farmer was threshing his grain, by steam
power, near the roadside, when a well-dressed
stranger drove up in a buggy, got ont, tied his
horse and came up to the machine. He first went
to the engineer and asked privilege of feeding the
machine awhile, and was referred to the feeder:
The feeder seeing no reason to refuse letting him
try his hand yielded his post, which the stranger
filled with ability. After running a short time he
looked to the engineer for more steam which the
engineer put on, and then, while the machine was
going at lightning speed he motioned the man
handling sheaves to stop, and as as the teeth
were clear he doubled up his arms and threw
himself headforemost into the thresher before the
horror-stricken observers had idea ef his inten-
tion. He was Literally torn all to peaces in an in
slant. No cline TO his indentity could he discov-
cred his pocket book containing $50 but nothing
in the way Of papers, and people are still in the
dark, as regards the name of the man the cause
of his making away with Unsatisfactory Com

SOUTHERN CROP PROsPECrs.-The Selma, Ala
hama, Messenger says: We have passed our lives
where the staple (cottOn) il raised, and we have
never known year disastrous, nor have we
ever known year in which the damage inflicted
by excessive rain, and then by continued dry
spell is as great as this has been. We saw on Mon
day plantations which have always yielded well
and which have looked comparatively well up to
that date. upon which the small hollis the stock
are literally dried up, while the plant is nos.
throwing everything that it ought to make, and
such is the condition of the crop generally in this
section. Even if a rain should come now and in
sufficient quantity, we have doubts to wheth
er it would do any good SO far as making anything
farther, for the plant would now have to COM
mence another growth, form. square. bloom and
mature. which we do not believe would effect any,
thing before the worm, which has already made
its appearance in some localities, will march in
full force, and add its quota to the disastrous com
bnation Of circumstances against the cotton crop
of 1871. The cotton CROP in short, is very short,
and the corn crop is in the same condition.

RECoRD.-Mr. Hendriek,'

HENDRICKs' WAR RECoRD.-Mr Hendricks,
sswar record" is mercilessly shown up by the In
tiianapolis Journal, which makes standing Offer
to pay 81, 900 for any speech in which, during the
war, he favored the suppression of the rebelioa
by force of arms. Nobody has come forward Vet
to claim the amount, and the Journal apparently
is not at all surprised it says unreservedly that
Mr. Hendricks was opposed to the prosecution of
the war, and did all in his power without taking
mp arms, to prevent the suppression of the rebel
lion; that he assailed every act of the Govern
ment with intense bitterness, denounced every
war measure unconstitutional; did more than
any man in Indiana to prevent volunteering; and
exerted by far the most reasonable and vicious
influence of any man in the State. 1t concludes:
'.VOorhees was more outspoken against the war
itself. but Hendricks, with more cunning, direc-
ted his assaults against all the measures and
means necessary to carry ON the war. He more
than any other made the draft a necessity in In
diana, and then fnriously denounced it rs uneon-
stitutiOnal He had the confidence of the conspi-
rators thoroughout the war, and is now the favo-
rite of the Sons Of Liberty for the Presidency.
That he kept out of their lodges may be inferred
from his customary prudence, but he was their
inspiration, their hope, their idol. Heis now at
tempting to commit the great fraud upon the
country of running War Democrat, when in
truth he was the most dangerous and deadly enc
my the Government had in all the Northwest
~ Y. Times.

WAKE NICODEMCs.-The fellow who runs the
bastard concern down at Doniphan, wakes up
about once a month, and gets it through his wool
that somebody has said something about him that
requires an answer. He had his monthly turn
last week, and came at with his usual dilution.
He says the Chief is vulgar and dirty; and to
Frove it, he publishes in full what the Chief mere
ly limited at, and copies column from the Rulo
Register, a paper so filthy and obscene that even
the other Democratic papers of Nebraska disown
it, and protest that the party be not held respon-
sible for its nastiness. This Donipnan chap had
better get the inside of his paper printed at the
Rulo Register ofice-then the whole paper would
be printed outside of the County, and he could
devote all his time to sleeping acting the cats
paw for the "champion of economy"
