SIX MILIIoNs.-About two years ago.
DR. j. WALKER. an old aud prominent
physician Of California, discovered, by ac-
tual experience upon his own system. a
medicine which may honestly be termed
:" a boon 10 suffering humanity" Being a
combination of herbalistic extracts, pun
gent and sour 70 the taste, and yet pos
scsscd of gentle cumulative characteristics
although entirely free from alcoholic
named it VINEGAR BTTERs. and despite
the prejudice existing among his proies-
sion, against all patented medicines, he de-
termined to brave the iecrs of his brother
practitioners. and give 10 suffering human
it's the benefit of his accidental discovery
He did so. and the benefits from lis use be-
came known. The demand increased. and
immense quantities We're sold. at "A merely
nominal price. Its merit is told in the fact
that in two years over SIN MILLIONS Of
bottles have been sold" and still the de
mand increases. Surely such imam should
be ranked among the benefactors OF the
human race.

LONDON, February 5.--A few copies
OF DR.. n. B. VOLTS book, Startling Facts in
Modern Spiritltdltsnl has been received here.
l have been little obseryant and curious in
noticing how it was read and criticised. Mr..
William Crookes, who is now putting the
tests, pronounces it "by far the best work that
he has read on the subject. Written in style
that is pleasing, although at times quite hu-
morous, il never loses the substratum of can
dor which impresses you from first to last.
The facts are grouped in such natural, easy
manner of actual occurrence, that convince
one of the truth of the experience, even
though they might not come TO the doctors
conclusions as TO causes" The author,
Maurice Davies, who is one of the editors
of the Daily Telegraph, says that the book
is one that will reach more minds and awaken
more thought than any before written on the
subject of spIritualism, being in g style not
wearisome in trying 10 elucidate unknown
laws; merely putting the facts and circum-
stances in such logical light that the LATEST
of readers cannot fail to see the object of the
argument. The great majority of persons do
not like to apply themselves to a thoughtful
and careful reading on any subject, nor care
to follow a close, logical argument, even on
the important question OF immortality, but
prefer the proofs and evidence placed before
them in such manner that they can digest
without effort. DR.. VOLTS book meets
this class, and entertains them, while he In

do not recognize the right of a chairman OF
an executive committee Tor even the commit
teel acting for political organization dur
ing a canvass, to act for the organic alton
after the canvass ends, 1t may not be out of
place for me- as chairman of the State execu-
tive committee of the Independent or John
son organization in the last canvass, TO
suggest meeting of those who united In that
movement, and others who approve
these suggestions. therefore now
suggest that the friends of a lib
ersi movement, looking alone to the good
of the State, and not to the success of any
party, meet at Nashville on the first Thursday
in April. 1t will, in all probability, upon full
consideration, be our interest," 10 unite Win WIN
the Democratic party, but self-respect, after
what took place In 1872, fol bids such union
without some fair understanding. AT present
there is no one on either side authorized TO
make terms. What Tennessee now needs is a
party bold enough to admit that independent
thought, free speech and honest action are
worth more than any party. 1t is q fact as
pregnant as painful, that the political leaders
of both the great parties, with many honora-
BILE exceptions on both sides, while they
Joined in a general war against each other,
slipped through the pickets and formed
partnership rings with each other 10
rob the people, and then returned TO
their ports to renew the fire against each
other. We need an open confession OF the
sins of our leaders, and bold declaration,
though 1t may be rebelltous in q party sense,
that the development of our resources, the
breaking up of rings and monopoltes, and q
removal OF the immense burdens imposed
upon the people TO benefit otiice-holders and
stock gamblers, is of more Importance than
party. Intelligent men, uniting for the good
OF the State, Will not likely raise any question
over the name of a party, or other immatertRl
issues, but in business way, and without
prejudice from past differences, will take any
step which may be found necessary TO unite
good men against corruption. II this sugges-
ton is favored by gentlemen In different parts
of the State, and they will confer with me, l
will try and have their suggestions published.

SOME GOOD IN NAZARETH.

Mardi Gras has certainly accomplish
ed one good result. 1t has put model
sinners, who have been practising vice
and unrighteOusness all their wicked
lives, to prating about virtue and NOR
ality. Mardi Gras has been productive
of great good if 1t has turned
these offenders from the error Of
their ways. Their sudden CONVEX
sion-the unexpected manner in
which they have taken their feet out of
the miry clay, and placed them on
the rock of ages, recalls one Of those
numerous and instructive little stories
with which President Lincoln used to
point a moral. Said Mr.. Lincoln:
"Down in Tazewell county there was
farmer with lot of grown-up boys who
were hard cases. The old man and the
Methodist preachero on that circuit want
ed the boys to get religion, but they
were impervious to camp-meetings and
reviv&ls. One day, Jim was bitten by
a rattiesnake, and fear made him peni-
tent. The preacher was sent for, and
came, and offered prayer, which
was about of this tenor: 80
God, We bless thee in all the dispensa-
tons of thy providence. We thank
thee for all things. We thank thee for
rattlesnakes. We thank thee for the
rattlesnake which bit Jim. Send more
rattlesnakes. Send one to bite Dug, and,
o God, send the biggest kind of rattle
snake to bite our wickedest boy of all,
the spoiled and incOrrigible Marcus "
Since Mardi Gras has set the premium
sinners of Memphis to lscturing on NOR
ality and righteousness, the good people
of our city ought to pray for the biggest
sort Of Mardi Gras every month in
