know Judge Doolittle knew that Con-
natty was falsifer. No man who has
been thrown into contact with the Judge,
and has had an opportunity to study
his character, can doubt for moment
that he is one Of the most upright of mon,
a man to whose hand the gold of bribery
has never stuck, and whose heart harbors
no dishonesty an upright, frank, per-
fectly honest mana Christian gentle
man. In another column we publish his
reply to the Connatty charges, and invite
our readers to read it carefully. 1t is O
complete vindication Of the Judges char
acter, and stamps Connatty, the tool Of
the Grant Radicals, as perjured rascal.

GIFT TAKING.

Will our Radical friends read
the following and endeavor to profit by
the lesson it contains II is from bio
graphy of st. Louis, Of Poissy, who after
wards, when about to leave France on a
crusade, charged his queen to "not accept
presents for herself or children: :"
Whilst St. Louis was staying at Hyeres,
to procure horses to 90 to France, the abb
bot of Cluny, who was afterwards lOlive,
presented him two palfreys, such as would
DO worth to-day at least five hundred
livres--one for himself, the other for the
queen. When he had presented them, he
said to the king: IL will come tomorrow
to speak to you concerning my affairs
On the morrow the abbot returned. The
king heard him attentively for a long
time. When the abbot had gone,
went to the king, and said to him: 81
wish to ask you, please, if you have heard
the abbot with more good will because he
gave you yesterday those two palfreysY
The king reflected for long time, and
said to me: "In truth, yes" "Sire," said
l, ''do you know why put this question
to your" "Why Z" said he. "Becaust
sire, said /, II would advise and counse
you that when you shall reach France
you shall prohibit your sworn council from
taking anything from those who shall
have business before you, for you may b
sure they will listen with more good viii
and more attentivcly to those who give t.
them, just as you have done to the abbo
Of Cluny." Then the king called all hi
council, and reported to them on the in
slant what | had said to him, and they
said had given him good advice.

ONE OF THEM,

The great oratorical gun of the Bour-
bons, at their convention in this State,
was a man by the name of Major Win. c.
Moreau, of Indiana. He is proper man
for the business he is engaged ina fit

Brick Pomeroy. He is, in fact almost
mean enough to be straight Radical
and will, in course of time, that party be.

very corrupt in American politics. He i:
a political scalawag. The following or.
der will throw little light upon his
character:

Died Suddenly of Heart Disease.

How common is the announcement. Thousands are suddenly swept into eter- nifty by this fatal malady. This disease generally has it's origin in impure blood filled with irritating, poisonous mate- rials, which, circulating through the heart, irritates it's delicate tissues.
 Though the irritation may at first be on- ly slight, producing little palpitation
 or irregular action, yet by and by the disease becomes firmly seated, and fn- famation, or hypertrophy, or thickening of the lining membrane of the valves, is produced. How wise to give early at tention to case of this kind. Unnatu- ral throbbing or pain in the region of the heart should admonish one that all is not right, and if you would preserve it from further disease, you must help it to beat rightly by the use of such remedy as shall remove the cause of the trouble. Use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery before the disease has become too seated, and it will, by its great blood purifying and wonderful regulating properties,
 effect perfect cure. It contains medi- cinal properties which act specifically upon the tissues Of the heart. bringing about a healthy action. Sold by first class Druggists. 581
