you occupy these relations now, or are about 10 do
so, study well your constitution. If you have &C
quIred or inherited scrofua, or any disease which
may be transmitted to your offspring, It is your
solemn duty to eradicate 1t. Thousands of children
are now suffering from the effects of poisonous
disease transmitted to them from their parents.
The thought Is terrible. You can save yourselves
much sadness and solcitude, and your dear little
much pain and unhappness, by the timely use of

DELIGHT. 1t will surely eradicate the faint from
your system; If it has already been entailcd
upon your child give 1t at once this valuable prca-
ration and its system will he renovated and restored
to soundness.
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, n. G., September II,
1ae9.-Dr. William H. Tut: Sir,-Please accept
the heartfelt thanks Of mother who was well nigh
driven to despair by the sad condition OF an only
child. My little boy has been afflicted with Scrofua
ever since his BIRTH end after trying every remedy
that was recommended, and several physicians had
pronounced him past all hope, accidentally heard
Of your Sarsaparilla and Queens Delight. 1t was
SO highly recommended that concluded to try 1t,
hut must confess with very little faith. He has Ia
ken nine OF the bottles you sent me, and am happy
In being able TO say that he Is almost well and be-
leye by the time he takes the dozen he win be per-
fectly restored 10 health He has gained flesh, has
sne appetite, and now walks two miles to school. l
shall always remember you with gratitude.

dorscd by the Tribune as authentic and trust
worthy. 1t is as follows:
"The authentic hourSSas come when wis.
dom tells us that the tfiaN important of the
committee-room'S hitherto hidden secrets my
with frankness be made known. Initiating
the example of our Great Chief, who, with
unsealed lips utterS his innermost thoughts,
those to whose hands have been committed
his interests in Ohio have commissioned us
to transmit to all things of great JOY, tt. this
hour only known to them. For the first
time i'll the history Of political contests in
| this State, herculean labor has been accom-.
| plisiied, which has hitherto baffied the best
| efforts of its hardest workingmen. Aided
| by that division of labor resulting from the
| fortunate concentration Of the effort of
two energetic executive committees, these
managers have wrought out work which
| will crown them with lasting renown. The
work is nothing less and the labor nothing
! lighter than a complete and comprehensive
poll Of every ward, township, and school
district in the State of Ohio. Absolutely
| accurate lists of the names Of all the legal
voters have been made out by wards, or
rather subdivision Of wards and school dis
trictS. Each voter has been visited, the
names Of those who are against us have been
checked of, the balance has been struck by
perfectly trustworthy agents, and forwarded
by them to political headquarters. These
comprehensive returns lave been classified
by counties. The tootings of the figures
have been added together with great labor,
and the grand calculation carried out. Be
cause the work has been done in secrecy
1t is not the less but the more thoroughly
done. The country will be .ioyously star
tied when they now first learn that the grand
total exhibits majority for Greeley, recon-
Citation, and reform, larger than has been
cast against the dominant party i'll this State
for thirty years. The precise majority by
these complete and accurate returns is fore
known. While W. do not choose to maine
that majority vote, we do choose and under
take to affirm that it is sufficiently large to
cover NIL possible contingencies that may
arise between this and the decisive hour. 4

sAllouu EXPLOSION,

From the San Francisco Chronicle, August 1s.l
Last Sunday Etienne Buislay was
announced to make a balloon ascen-
sion at Woodward's Gardens, aud In
accordance with that pleasing trait In
human nature which prompts US to
take infinite delight In seeing . man
risk his neck, . large crowd assembled
TO witness the flight Of the aeronaut.
IL was known that one member Of this
same Buislay troupe, some years ago
In Mexico, lost his grip on the balloon
In which he was careerlng. about a
mile or two above the earth, and was
smashed Into q shapeless mass BY the
fell ; and the knowledge Of this fact
lent a piquancy TO the ~pleasurable an
tlcipations Of the crowd. The balloon
was what Is known as q Mongolfer, or
fire balloon. being filled With heated
air By means Of 4 sheet-lron furnace,
over which It was suspended. When
the process Of Initiating the great blad-
der-like machine had been nearly COM
pleted, It was violently swayed by the
wind. and Instantly q little fork Of
flame shot from Its side about ten feet
from the ground. This waS quickly
extiuguished. More straw was piled
on, the fire cracked msrrily and the
great monster swayed to and fro aud
struggled 70 DO loose. The feelings d
the crowd were wound up to the high
est pitch Of expectancy. Breathless
they gazed a the great globe. and
Buislay, the aeronaut, was a hero In
their thoughts. Suddenly a gust OF
wind gave the balloon a violent lurch.
and with n loud noise II burst In two
aud vomlted out its contents Of smoke
and hot air. The aeronant and his at
tendants were tor q moment covered
BY the hugo folds Of cloth. but soon
emerged. blackened with SCOT and dust
and In a genuine French passion. The
remnants were rolled Into bales,
corded, down and carted of to the rub
bish pile ; and the poor people had to
20 home to their Sunday dinners with
out having been gratitied with q
smashed Buislay as an appetizer.

she may wish, all the way from 5000

THE PRAYER Of TWENTY MILLIONS.

During the war of the rebellion,
namely, under date of August IL, 1857,
Horace Greeley wrote a long letter 70
President Lincoln. entitled the prayer
of Twenty Millions" which Greeley,
himself describes on page 24s, second
volume Of Greeley's "Amertcan Con-
flict. as "exhortlng Lincoln mol. 70
proclaim all the slaves In our country
free )" In other words, trying TO per-
snade Lincoln not 10 issue his immor-
tai emancipation proclamation but,
on the contrary. to content himself
with freeing such bodies Of slaves here
and there as could be reached and held
by our armies. under the c~onftscatlon
act, leaving the rest to their fate. This
letter remains In history a.. the indts-
putable proof that Horace Greeley. OPP
posed the emancipation proclamation.
And this letter. too. contained 90 many
false representations and misstate-
ments, and 40 much covert slander OF
Lincoln, that Il drew from the Presl-
dent that frn reply In which he do.
clared that his paramount object was
to a v the Union, aud that he did
what 1e did, aud forebore to do what
he forebore. because he wished thereby
to save the Union. When colored yo-
