Obstruction of nasal passages, discharge fall. ing into throat, sometimes profuse, watery, acrid, or thick and tenacious, mucous, purulent bloody, putrid, offensive, etc. In others dry. ness, weak or infamed eyes, ringing in ears deafness, alterations, scabs from ulcers, voice altered, nasal twang, offensive breath, impaired smell and taste, etc. Few only of above symp- toms likely to be present in any case at one time.
 To cure-take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery earnestly, to correct the blood and system, which are always at fault. also to act specifically as it does, upon the diseased glands and lining membrane of the nose and it's con- munlcating chambers. The more see of this odious disease, the more positive is my belief that if we would make treatment perfectly suc- cessfu in curing it, we must use constitutional treatment to act through the blood, as well as soothing and healing local application. Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, when used warm and applied with Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche. effects cures upon "common sense," rational and scientific principles, but it's mild, soothing and healing properties to which the disease gradu- ally yields, when the system has been but in perfect order by the use of Golden Medical Discovery. This is the only perfectly safe. scientific and successful mode of acting upon and healing it.
 So successful has the above course of treat ment proven that the proprietor offers $500 re- ward for case he can not cure. All the means sold by Druggists. R. V. Pierce, M. D., Proprietor, Buffalo N. Y.-Cone.

Advertising.

There is class of persons who imag- inc that they are doing very iudiciously by advertising through the medium of circulars. They scatter few thousand through the country announcing their business, and await the result, fully convinced that in so doing they have taken all necessary preliminaries to success. Various circulars are almost daily to be found on the door steps and entry ways of respectable houses. Their fate is generally, that they are either thrown into the street by the in- dignant servant girl, or summarily pitched aside by the man of the house who finds them when he returns home, and who desires no suggestions of new methods of Tightening his purse. The use of circulars may, in certain limited cases, answer every purpose but the vast majority of those who have made money by advertising have found that the columns of a newspaper are the best and surest, and in the end the cheapest medium of communication between the business world and the public.

A Child Bride.

While we were in the Court House ir Linn last week listening to the testi mony in the case of the State vs, Lade for abandoning his wife and children, 6 little girl was introduced as a awitness, In manner and general appearance she was simply child, and we really thought ought, on account of her youth, have been spared the ordeal to which wit. nesses in court of justice are generally subjected. The first question asked by the attorney was:
 Are you marr1ed lady ?"
 Our astonishment can be better imagined than described when she promptly replied:
 "Yes, sir."
 "How long have you been married ?'' asked the lawyer.
 About two years.
 " And how old are you now ?"
 ''I will be thirteen in December.
 In reply to other questions, she sta- ted that she and her husband had not lived together since their marriage, and that she was induced to marry through the threats of her father, who had some mercenary object in view.
 After the adjournment of the court we sought and obtained an interview with the young lady and her mother in order to ascertain the particulars of this extraordinary marriage. The maiden name of this child bride was Christina Lase. She was born in this county December 3, 1860, and was mar ried to Michael Frankewich (aged nine teen), January 1, 1872, being at the time of her marriage only few days over eleven years of age! She stated to us that her father, by threats of pun ishment in case of refusual, compelled her to consent to this untimely union. bidding her under severe penalties to state to the justice that she was over fourteen years old. We cannot find language sufficiently severe to use in condemnation of the brute of father who would thus offer up his child as sacrifice in order to the accomplish ment of some mere pecuniary purpose. He ought to be driven away in disgrace from the community which it can truly be said he pollutes by his presence.- Ct0naoSs Leader.

Will Not Give Her In.

Captain General Jovellar, of Cuba,
 telegraphed to the Madrid Govern
 ment 8 dispatch showing the state of
 feeling on the Island relative to the
 surrender of the Virginius
 The Madrid Government peremp- torily orders the Captain General to deliver up the Virginius. Gen. Jovellar respectfully resigns his position, and demands that another person be sent to take his place that can carry out the orders of the Government, considering the exalted state of public opinion, and the impossibility of overcoming the difficulties. Gen. Jovellar submits that 8 manifest was prepared for delay. du- ring which opportunity would be given for reflection, and time gained to allav the fiery patriotic spirit of the great na- tlonal party in Cuba. But the strong orders from Madrid, immediately to be executed, deprive him of this re- source, through which he hoped to save the upholding of the authority and the interests of the country.
 In order that the Madrid Government may comprehend the difficulties of the and do justice to the ardor and perseverance with which he began his labors. which had already begun to produce fruit, the Captain General de- scribes the situation in the island. He declares that the impression produced by the news of the arrangement which has been completed between Spain and the United States can be compared to that produced in Spain by the treaty of Bayonne, which led to the war of in- dependence against Napoleon. He begs to assure the Government that the immediate delivery of the V1rginius will instantaneously cause @ frightful commotion throughout the island, which would be sure to result in successive catastrophes, even if man of the high est ability should be in command here.

The Ashantee War-FOur Villages De-
 strOyed.

Late English newspapers publish dis patches from Sir Garnet J. Wolseley, the General in command of the forces on the Gold Coast. From them it ap- pears that he led detachment of tile villages. The advancing column about 300 carriers. The blue jackets the marines 163 officers and men. The Second West India Regiment furnished 205 officers and men.
 | The enemy was encountered in 8 dense bush a short distance from the past o'clock in the morning, after the column had marched along track at times through swamp knee deep, and at others through high bush. The enemy, after 8 short action, gave way, and were then dislodged from the will lage by the use of shells and rockets. Essaman was captured and burned. A large quantity of powder and many guns were found. A few dead bodies were seen, but the nature of the bush rendered all{ estimate either of the enemy's numbers or losses purely con- jectural.
 Col. McNeil, the chief staff officer, and Capt. Fremantle, the senior naval off cer on the station, were wounded. The deserted village of Amquana was reached about noon, and was destroyed. Akimfoo, another deserted place, was shelled and destroyed later in the day. While the soldiers were burning Ampe- nee, some eight hundred yards further to the westward, the Ashantees fired on them, wounding Houssa, one of the native police. As the troops were re- turning, quite a number of Ashantees moving through the bush got to the eastward of them and opened fire. It was returned with great execution, and the Ashantees were driven back.
 The men reached Elmina about eight o'clock in the evening, after tramp of twenty one miles, we'll satisfied with their days work. The casualties amounted to only twenty-two wounded officers and men, but two Houssas have since died. The Ashantee loss was con- siderable.
 The English officers were not partic- ularly pleased with their native allies, as they showed @ wild propensity to fire in the air or at imaginary foes in the bush.

HEART DISEASE. Many persons suffer with heart disease without knowing it suddenly they drop of, and their friends are astonished, on post mortem examination, to learn that they died of heart disease. The heart, like the brain, is the seat of ife-its diseases are of several characters. The most common are valvular diseases, fatty de- generation, and functional derange- ment. If the liver becomes deranged, and digestion is impaired, the heart, through sympathy. and juxtaposition, becomes abnormal. The following symptoms indicate approaching disease: palpitation, giddiness, faintness, nerv- ous prostration, deranged digestion, vertigo, cold extremities, etc., etc., for which the old school will administer iron, opium, antimony, mercury, and many other mineral poisons.
