BAD BLOOD! !

| "A corrupt lIce, Snltu lilc !uopllSS
volume, "bringeth forth not good fruit,
nor can corrupt blood impart health
beauty and good flesh, or spirits. "The
Blood is the Life" and health can only
be enjoyed in its full perfection where
the blood is kept in pure and uncor
rupted state, hence the necessity of pure
blood, to give health, beauty, buoyan'
spirits, long life and happiness.
An impure condition of the blood,
manifests itself in different forms Of
diseases, such as letter, Salt Rhehm
Scald-head, Ring Worms, Pimples, Boils
Blotches, Spots, Eruptions, Pustules
Carbuncles, Sore Eyes, Rough Skin
Scurf, Scrofulas Sores and Swellings
Fever Sores, White Swellings, .Tu.
mors, Old Sores or Swellings, Syphilitie
Affections of the Skin, Throat and
Bones, Ulcers of the Liver, Stomach
Kidneys, Lungs and Uterus.
In this condition of things something
is needed at once to cleanse the blood,
aud neutr4liZe the insiduous poison that
BURNS LIKE A TERRIBLE FIRE
as it courses through the veins, sowing
seeds of death with every pulsation..
DR.. Pemberton's Compound Extract
of Stillingia, (or Queen Delight will

Suggestions to Democrats.

Editor Ab6eVSlle' Press us,d BuHHef's
In my last I attempted to throw
out somo hints to the Republicans on
the ensuing elections, I shall in this
humber mn.:.ke q few suggestions to
the Opposition.
The greet aim Of every good citi-
zen should be to secure o wise, Just
cid impartial administration Of the
government. The constitution and
laws of tho State, upon the whole, are
very good. The differences Of opin-
ion in regard to these arc slight, and
quito immaterial. The political con-
test between the two parties in the
State, should not degenerate into a
squabblo for ofice-the "outs" against
tho Sins" Nor should the present
effort of tho Republican, party to re-
form and purify itself be attempted
to be used by the opposition as q
means of it's overthrow. The gener.
al tone of the Democratic press in
the State is squirting stronglyin that
direction. This is all wrong. 1t is
simply throwing stumbling blocks in
the way of reform. The masses OF
the people care very little what par
ticular party may be- in power, 80
long as their rights and privileges are
secured, and the government wisely
and economically managed. Rights
and privileges are far more important
and dearer to u people than dollars
aud cents.
And no we'll informed Democrat
can reasonably expect the colored
people to be willing to intrnst, at this
time, their newly acquired rights to
the care and keeping Of tho opposl'
tion. Their majority in the State, at
the lowest estimate, is between TWEEN.
ty and thirty thousand. Is it not
clear, then, that the only hope Of the
opposition to get into power, is
through permanent and nearly
equal split of the Republican party
Would it not be wiser and better tc
labor for the promotion of the best
material in the Republican party
than to rick all upon so doubtful ar
issue? ? Then let both parties, fol
once, take a forward step. and work
together for the general good-tht
Republicans to reform, purify ane
elevate, and the Democrats to did II
the good work by their encourage
ment. 1t would be folly in astarvint
man To refuse half loaf because h'
could not got tho whole. Vituperatio1
and abuse can't possibly do any good
and may lead to persecution. Re
member, "the blood Of the martyr'
was the seed of the church"

Different Kinds Of Eyes.

No branch Of science has beeii 4
more thoroughly mastered than OPP
tics. The principle of vision must be
essentially the same in oil eyes, but
they differ remarkably according to
the habits of the animal. Birds OF.
lofty fight, as the condors, eagles,
yultures and carrion.seeking prowl-
ers of the feathered race, have tele-'
scopic visions, and thus they are enari
bled to look down and discover their
unsuspecting victims. AS they ap-
proach noiselessly from above, the
axis Of vision changes-shortening,
so that they see as distinctly within
one foot of the ground as whensat ON
elevation of one mile in the air.
This fact explains the balancing Of
the fish-hawk on its pinions, halt, .
mile above still pond watching for
fish. When one is selected down the
savage hunter plunges, the focal axis
varying always to the square view
Of his Intended prey. As they ascend
the axis is elongated by a curious
muscular arrangement, so as to SEQ
far off again. ,. =
Snails have their keen eyes at the
extremity of flexible horns, which
they can protrude or draw in at pleas
ure. By winding the instruments
around the edge of q leaf or stalk,
they can see how matters stand on
tho opposite side. ,ss
The hammer-headed shark hes fts
wicked-looking eyes nearlystwo feet
apart. BY will or effort they, can
bend the thin edges Of the head, on
which the organs are located, so as
to examine the sides of an object the
size of full-sized Goldfish.
Flies have immoveable eyes, They
stand out from the head like half an
apple, exceedingly prominent. In.
stead Of smooth hemispheres, they
have nm immense number of facets,
resembling old-fashioned glass watch
seals, each one directing the light
directly to the optic retina. That
explains why they cannot be ap.
preached IN any direction without
seeing what is coming.

81 DO not regret her apsehCe, ne
said, earnestly, "it's only you l came
to see-only you, Agnes" and ne
smiled upon her from his dark
thoughtful eyes. "Agnes," he said
again, taking her hand in his, 81 have
loved you long time-the valentine
told you so, didn't it? Agnes, have
been getting deeper and deeper in
love with your quiet goodness every
day of my life. To me you are all
that is beautiful and loveable in wo'
man. You fill a void in my heart
which has been void since. the days
of earliest boyhood."
Then he wound his arms around
her and drew her very gently to his
bosom, and Agnes, weary, lonely little
Agnes, felt a great load of sorrow
raised from her soul.
Very tenderly he kissed her, and
smoothed back her dark hair caress
iugly, and Agnes closed her eyes in
deep thankfalncss.
And so it came out Eustace Clinton
sent the unpretending little valentine
and Agnes Lane rejoiced in the true,
earnest love of one noble and good.
Gertrude knew it all, after while
and she pouted and wept after the
manner Of spoiled beauty. But the
arrival of o lover in the form Of
rich gentleman did much toward
soothing her woe, and she even con
gratglated her cousin on her brilliant
prospects.
When the autumn wind began tc
whirl the sere leaves relentlessly or
it's wings Eustace took Agnes to his
1splendid home-his wife.
And she lives, loving and beloved
l the idol of her husbands heart, anc
the cherished one of his household
good and true, if not beautiful.
