BLlsLM Of WILD CHERRY

Is peculiarly adapted to every disease of the
lungs and Liver which is produced by our ever
varying climate.
There is, perhaps, DO disease with which our
country is affected, which sweeps off annually
SO many vietims as that fell destroyer Of the
human racc--Consnmption. Day after day
year after year, the insatiate monster hurries
TO the cold and silent portals of the tomb fresh
added victims to its conquest. No walk of life
is sacred from it's blighting influence. No age
is exempt from its death dealing shafts. The
old, the middle aged, and the young, all alike,
are food for this common enemy of mankind.
The white haired patriarch whose life of tenn
perance has rendered his system imperyious to
the attacks of other ills, and whose good deeds
prepared him for the enjoy msnt Of life's calm
evening, finds consumption fastening its fAngs
upon his vitals, aud tearing him from a world
ever bright to minds which look eomplscently
on days well spent.
| Consumption, in its confirmed and incipient
stages, coughs, asthma, Group, and liver com
| plant, form by far the most fatal class of dis
eases known to our land. Yet even those m ay
be cured by means Of the simple yet powerful
remedies that are scattered wherever these mai
aides prevail.

The Muscatine Tribune saws the frat

1884, but previous to to that time Col. Geo.
Davenport, of this city, who was then liv-

Farnam, with two men down to the "Grind-
stone Bluff, as il was then called, to put up
q shanty or trading house, which Mr.. Dav-
export supplied with a stock of goods, to
trade with the Indians. In the year 1886
two gentlemen bought this FsrnAm claim,
q piece of land on which the city of Musca-
tine now stands, for 5000. The Eame

from tribe Of Indians called Muucountins,

Il is now thought that since Gran! has
been proven in fslsehood, be will not make
any further answer to the charge so firmly
Fixed upon him BY Senator Schurz. He
took the same course during the inyestiga
ton of the gold conspiracy BY "a committee
Of Congress. In that case it WAS sworn that
the President had promised the ring that no
gold should be sold from the Treasury that
when Secretary Boutwell, ordered the sale OF
a certain sum, the President countermanded
the order, and that one Of the conspirstora
sent 81, 900 to Mrs. Grant. After all this
testimony tending so directly to connect the
President with the scheme, the committee
gave Mr.. Grant an opportunity to vindicsse
himself; bat it WAS beneath his dignity, and
he declined to appear before the committee
or to offer any explanations. Trsficking
and trickery, if not gross dishonesty, are
not beneath his dignity, bu. when be is cali
ed to account for bis conduct, that shsdowy
trait so exAlss itself that any attempt to
answer his sccusers is quite beneath it.

One Of the graudest achievements in our
ooun,ry's history is the entire freedom from
sectional feeling which pervadss the friends
of Greeley and Brown Before the war and
until within a few weeks, the North and
South have not had that brotherly feeling
towards each other which ia so necessary to
good government Bot, at last, the time
has come when the North and South, the
East and Wesi,oAn unite on common ground
and forge, all past differences. Never was
a happier opportunity afforded for complete
commingling Of sentiment. Never will a
wider door be opened to lead US out of the
difficulties OF the past Each one has a
chance to prove his own patriotism. A
better understanding will pervade all SEQ
tons, interests which we're supposed to clash
will harmonic, and the best interests of the
Republic be realized.

FIRST CASE UNDER THE Liquor Lam
The Missouri Republican reports the first
prosecution under the new liquor law that
we have noticed.
Charles Neggle was killed bT Joseph
Creed in St. Clair county, both parties
being at the time intoxicated. Mrs. CaEhe-
rine Neggls has brought suit against Julius
Hoffman, at whose saloon the liquor was
obtained, laying her damages at $4,000
The suit is brought under section FIVE
of the act, which is substantially as fol-
lows:
every hubbard, wife, child, guardian, en-
ployer or other person, who shall be injured in
person or property, OF means OF support, by any
intoxicated person, or IN consequence of tie in
toxiostion, partial OF otherwise, of any person
shall have the right of action in bis or her own
name, ssverally or jointly, against an, person OF
persons who shall, BY selling or giving away In
toIostiug Liquors, have caused the intOxioa-
ton, in whole or in part, oil such person or per.
sons"
The case seems to fit the law squarely,
and the rulings Of the Court will be closely
scanned By those interested 10 the liquor
traffic.

READING CLUus.-A very good way to

TO have weekly evening meetings at the .vAri

public questions, without the expense Of
getting speakers. Let the good readers
take turn in reading, and one good speech
could thus be gone through with at each

every school house, let some man in the
district, who has house room enough, in
yite in his nsighbOrs, and, once a week,
have some good speech read Each neigh

In letter to Mr.. Sohurz, dated on the

that he was authorized by the President to
make the offer referred TO. The explicit
statement by Gen. Pleasanton of a matter
20 which he was personally knowing, cannot
fail to secure credence, notwithstanding all
the deniAis that Mr.. Grant has made or
may make for among the many points Of
difference between the frat President and
the last, there is none more thoroughly es-
tAblished than this; that while George
Washington could not tell q lie, Mr.. Ulysses
Grant can and will upon very slight occa-
sion. Witness his controversy with Presi-
