RADICAL RUIN.

The ruin that Radical rule has lef. in its wake
In all the Southern States is well illustrated in the
case OF South Carolina. No man would have sup.
posed such condition of things could have existed
after the few years in which the Radicals have
been in power. The Cincinnati Enquirer in an
article refers to poor Radical ridden South Caro-
lima in such clear, truthful and forcible language
that no one can read it without feeling ashamed
that our country has been the scene Of such poit.
ical rascality; and the modification is ten fold
greater when it is remembered that the Federal
Administration Justly accredited with nearly all
the evil that has befallen not only South Carolina
since the war but all the other Southern States
In the hands OF such people poor little Delaware
would Stand no chance Of escaping the same ex.
travaeance ana the horrible condition which would
follow The only safety is in avoiding the Radi-
cal mongrel party. The white people of Virginia
united and kept the legislation OF the State i'll
their own hands, excluding the negroes and car
pet-baggsrs, aud they in better condition to-
day than any southern State. Let Delaware not be
deceived into voting the Radicals into power

plundenng rule Of the carpet-baggers, "they have

MISCELLANEOUS.
Sinking Slowly.

Diseases that progress rapidly to crisis
are not the only ones to be dreaded. Can
ker or dry rot does not blast tree as sud-
denly as stroke of lightning, but unless
arrested it destroys it as certainly; and
in like manner chronic debility, although
it does not kill with the swiftness of yell
low fever, is as sure to sap the springs of
lite eventually as any acute disease, If
not checked by invigorating medication.
There is something inexpressibly touch
ing in the spectacle of premature decay.
Languor, pallor, emaciation, depression
of spirits, and distaste for eXertion, are
its ordinary symptoms, and they should
be promptly met by tonic treatment. The
best invigorant and eXhiarant that can
be administered in a case of this kind is
llostetter's Stomach Bitters. The stim-
ulating principle of the preparation rouses
the dormant energies of the system, and
the strengthening and regulating proper
ties give permanent and healthtul i'm
pulse to the vital forces thus brought into
play. The failing appetite is re-awak-
ened, the process Of digestion and as
slmllatlon are quickened, the quality of
the blood is improved, the secretions be-
come more natural, and every organ that
contributes to the nourshment of the
body undergoes salutary change. BY
these means the repair of the physical
structure is effected and its health and
vigor restored. In no class of diseases
has the benificent operation of the Bitters
been more marked and striking than in
those characterized by general debility
and nervous prostration. Ladies affected
with these ailments find in this most
wholesome of all tonics and correctives
the safest and surest means of relief. 1t
is strong to restore and powerless to in
jure. Such is the uniform testimony of
clouds of Witnesses" feb,

THE RAINFALL.-Mr. A. Cochell, who
seems to be the only person in this local
ity keeping an account with the wet
weather, gives us the following informa-
ton In the first great storm Of Decem-
b1r and January, twenty-four inches of
water fell. In this last storm, seventeen
inches have fallen thus far, the greatest
amount in one day being last Wednesday
about one and one-fourth inches. To-
tai in the two rain-storms of the season,
forty-one inches. AS there was some
rain fell here that was not included in the
above estimate, the facts show that we
had our share of wet weather this year.

WAsHINGToN's BIRTHDAY BALL
The dance at Thomas Theater on the

opened the earth through the valley of
Lone Pine. forming chasm thirty-fve
miles in extent, varying from three
inches to forty feet in width. This phe-
nomenon was also attended with a large
loss of life. The names of over fifty
killed and wounded have been received
here. Kern aud Owens rivers we're
turned and ran up stream for several
minutes, leaving their beds dry, and

volume. There is no parallel to this
earthquake since 1912, when the missions
Of San Juan c apistrano andLuperessima,
Southern California, were destroyed. of
course the matter is the common CONVEX
sation in California, but created not the
