ing restored.
We noticed good many Republicans
present--not as participants, but inter-
ested spectators. Altogether the demon
stration was a happy one, and passed
off without any unpleasant incident.
The Late Elections.
The official returns of tho late cleo
tions in this State are not full, but suf-
ficiently so TO assure Judge Porter's ma
jority at more than $4,000. Dibrell's
majority ranges between $500 and
1000, he having carried every county in
tho District. The legislative returns iu-
dictate the election Of two Republican
State Senator'S, and possibly six Repub-
lican members to the lower House. AS
soon as the list is complete we will pub
lish it.
When the returns are all in and foot.
ed up, we think il will appear that the
result in Tennessee is not so much due
TO on increased Democratic vote as to a
heavy falling of on the Republican
side. In many counties both Porter
and Maynard fall behind the vote of
1872, but SO far as we have compared
the returns the loss is much the heaviest
on the part Of the Republicans. From
this we infer that there is large ele-
ment In that party--of the rank and
fle--dissatisfed with the course and
policy Of their leaders, and are stand
ing aloof ready to join any organiza-
ton that promises something better.
They have not yet joined the Demo
cracy and whether they will ever do so
depends, Of course, upon future con-
tingencies. Should the House of Rep
resentatives, when Congress meets next
month, proceed to pass the civil rights
bill, tho Republican party will never
again rear its head in Tennessee or, il
the ensuing Legislature, almost unani-
mously Democratic, should act prudent
ly and wisely in the devisement and
establishment Of policy for the relief
of the people and the advancement of
the States interest, ii is more than pro.
bablo that tho disaflec,ed element re-
ferred to will be absorbed by the Demo-
cratic party at the election two years
hence, even though Congress should
hesitate and fail to pass the civil rights
bill. AT any rate tho Democracy of
Tennessee have their future pretty much
in their own hands. They have full
power, and the sole responsibility rests
with them, and by acting wisely and
well they may control and shape the
policy of tho State for years to come
Much 10 hoped for from the Legislature
just elected and VIC have faith enough
to believe that il will not disappoint
the expectations of the people.

DIR. PIERcE's FAvoRITE PRESCRIPTION
is very strongly recommended by the
Medical Faculty and is largely pre-
scribed among their female patients. 1t
is worthy of all confidence as may be
seen from the following testimonial
from Atlanta, ILL.,, July 14th, 1873:
DR.. R. v. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y.
- Dear Sir: have not words to express
my gratitude to you for your advice
and assistance in my case. There is
not one who has used your medicines
since they have been brought here but
that can say with me they have been
greatly benefited. Since have been so
helped by its use six or seven around
me left off all doctors and other medi-
cines, and now use it in their families,
after being cured of the same disease as
mine. You do not know what a won-
der it created in our city, by its restor-
ing my sister / wrote you about, for she
had been under the care Of three of our
best doctors but could not sit up but
for a few minutes at one time. I begged
of her to try your medicines, and be-
fore she had used half Of the bottles
she could 90 all around the yard, and
has now just come home from visit
five miles away.

RELIGIOUS SERvIcE.-Rev. Mr.. Meili,
Of Wooster, preached in the Presbyte-

evening. His text in the morning was
from Luke 10: 20, @Rejoice rather that
your names are written in heaven. +"
In the evening his text was in John
1914. Mr.. Meili some time during the
past year came from the Roman Catho-
lie church, in which he had been q
priest for several years. At the last
meeting Of Presbytery, he was licensed
to preach as a Presbyterian minister.
He is an excellent scholar, and is sound
in doctrine, and rich in christian ex-
perience. Our people were highly en-
tertained.

The excellence Of AMERICAN MAGAzISEs
has become SO well recognized aboad. that one
OF the leading English Papers, the LONDON
WEEKLr RE5IsrER. in recent issue, thus
speaks Of SCRiBNERs MONTHLY:
I've are constrained to own that SCRIB-
NER'S MONTHLY carries on the prize against
| all our shilling monthly serials for brilliancy
OF Illustrations and variety of contents. 1t is
simply wonderful shfl1ing's worth. Nothing
force and vigor; the light and shade are man
aged with truly artistic power. Out OF its
one and twenty original articles, we really do
not know which to choose rs best, for each
and all are excellent"
LIZ excels the English Magazines, but it is
"The best Of the Americ IN Monthlies.'
In the extent, variety and artistic excellence
Of its illustration Of American themes, it has
never been even approached much less exeell-
variety in its contents than and other of the
Standard American Monthlies.
In literary character, and in the brilliancy
and '.0ility Of its Editorial Departments, II
enjoys an equal pre-eminence.
Of making it the best magazine in the world,
OF which they have never for O moment lost
sight, and they point with pride and pleasure
to the May and June numbers, recently issu.
ed and ask for them a candid examination
and careful comparison Of their merits wi til
| those OF other magazine; and they renew their
pledge TO the public, to strive for still higher
excellence In the future.
y considerable demand has recently arisen
in England for ST. NICHOLAS, SCRIBNER's NEW
| NJ MAGAZINE for Boys and Girls, one publisher
desiring to secure an edition OF three thousand
| of the first bound volume (when completely,
witE his imprint.
The success of ST. NICHOLAS in this country
has been even more remarkable than that OF
SCRIBNER's MONTHLY. 1t Is pronounced to be
"an ideally perfect Magazine for children
passing interest for grown-up readers as
| we'll. -, e.
The influence Of the periodicals of the day
can scarcely be estimated, especially upon
the rising generation. Parents and teachers
cannot afford TO be Indifferent to this influence
or careless In relation to the character of the
literature furnished to the children outside of
| their school lessons. In ST. NICHOLAS not
only are History, Natural Philosophy. Litera-
ture. Fine Arts, and Manufactures presented
In an attractive way to young readers. hui
the children are stimulated to seek informa-
tion for themselves.

specimen number OF St. Nicholas, postage pre-
| paid, on receipt of ten cents, the bare cost OF

FARMERS AND PATENT RIGHTS
There is scarcely a week but that we
hear Of some farmer being swindled by
smeoth-tongus patent-right man. The
following article, which we clip from
the Columbus Statesmen, contains so
many truths in regard to this matter,
that we cannot refrain from republish-
ing it:
z OF all the gilded frauds imposed upon
the farmers, none excel and few equal
patent rights. These are things with
which farmers especially should have
nothing to do. They are frauds with
out exception, and the fact that they
are offered to farmers at all is proof Of
this fact. Were they good, as repre-
sented, they would not be 50 peddled
about among those least capable Of
judging of their value. There are
many good and valuable patents, but
those which are valuable are secured
by those who are regularly In the pat
tent business, and the worthless scum
alone is left to be imposed upon the ig-
norant in matters Of the kind.
The man who sells patent rights al
ways makes money; the man who buys,
neuer does" is an axiom among patent
right men, and it is from the fact that
no patent worth working is for sale; ;
the worthless ones are all that are Of
fered to the public. Farmers who con-
template purchasing should keep the
above facts in view. .-..'- ~

NEWSPAPER ADvERTIsING.-Newspa-
per advertising is now recognized by
business men, having faith in their own
wares, as the most effective means for
securing for their goods a wide recog-
milton for their merits.
Newspaper advertising impels in
quiry, and when the article offered is
of good quality and at a fair price, the
natural result is increased sales.
Newspaper advertising is a perma-
nent addition to the reputation of goods
advertised, because it is permanent in
fiuence always at work in their inter-
est.
Newspaper advertising is the most
energetic and vigilant of statesmen, ad-
dressing thousands each day, always in
the advertisers interest, and ceaseless-
ly at work seeking customers from all
classes.
Newspaper advertising promotes
trade, for even in the dullest times adj
vertisers secure by far the largest share
of what is being e done.

whole truth, and to be properly appre-

one which encounters prejudice, vice
and corruption in all forms, which can
only be abolished by Jealous and de-
termined effort. The efforts at present
are certain to succeed ii sustained by
good and just laws.
