OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
BAD BLOOD !

"a corrupt tree,n saith the Inspired
volume, "bringeth forth not good fruit, "
nor can corrupt blood impart health,
beauty and good flesh, or spirits. "Thc
Blood is the Lfe,n and health can only
be enjoyed in its full perfection where
the blood is kept in u pure and uncor-
rupted state, hence the necessity of pure
blood, to give health, beauty, buoyant
spirits, long life and happiness.
An impure condition Of the blood,
manifests itself in different forms OF
diseases, such as letter, Salt Rheum,
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, Syphiliticc
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,
and neutralize the insiduous poison that
BURNS LIKE A TERRIBLE FIRE
as it courses through the veins, sowing
seeds of death with every pulsation.
DIR. Pemberton's Compound Extract
of Stillingia, Tor Queen Delight) will
positively effect this disideratum, eXpel-

blood and system, and leaving the skin
SOFT, FAIR AND BEAUTIFUL.
For all diseases of the blood, livers

a tolerably tight barrel-a salt barrel

VOLUME XXI o
Carrying Deadly Weapons.

/ l- = |. -
The frequent occurrence aof homi.
cides and murders in various parts 81
the country is becoming very alarm
ing. Atpublic meetings, az election,
on the street,,whereyer a quarrel is
commenced, some insane.tempered
man produces revolyeror knife, and
attempts to murder or MAIN his op,
ponct. The fruitful source Of these
unfortunate results Of private quar-
rels and broils is the ihdisorfminate
carrying of deadly weapons by pri-
yate citizens. In most aH@ of the
States there are strict laws enacted
prohibiting any person from carrying
concealed deadly weaponupon or
about their person. Thelawis very
just one, and founded On reason, and
upon the experience of the world.
A man under tho excitcment of
great anger will use q deadly weapon,
and commit crime that. he would
not think of doing in his sober mo-
ments; and the law has very wisely
and justly provided that no man shall
expose himself TO the temptation.
There is neither necessity nor apology
in this country for carrying weapons.
No mans life is in danger, and if he
so wills, a man has it in his power to
avoid the personal broils which re.
suit in such disgraceful consequences
1t is neither the part of manhood nor
true courage to attempt to vindicate
a supposed or real insult by the com.
mission of a monstrous crime.
No man has either license Or au.
tbority to take the life of fellow.
man unless to preserve his own, and
the law we'll provides that the danger
must be imminent to authorize the
resort to deadly weapons. If oul
law officers will SEQ to the prompt
arrest and punishment of all persons
rich or poor, high or low, that are
found having concealed in their pos
session deadly weapons, they will dc
more to prevent the occurrence o1
these sad encounters, which result in
bringing such misery on society, than
in any other way.
So long asit is popular for person
to boast of his having about his per.
son pistol or bowie-knife, or other
murderous weapon, so long will their
use be noticed in the constant recur.
rencc of the commission Of crime.

"MA."-If there is one word In the

sweet tenderness about the name u

Wherever we may go, hove, however .tr noSs eS.

that blessed name still remains: IT. is
our Ma who directs the tiny feet in
their first struggles; it is our Ma who
teaches the prattling tongue to eX-
press the childish thought, and 1t is
our Ma who, as we advance in mature
life, through oil the stages OF youth:
implants within US the parer thoughts
and stronger principles of an honest
life. No line of pocty ever writer, ls
dearer to the heart of man than
that which asks with powerful signif-

Six hundred persons lately explored
the Cacahuamllpa Cave in Mexico, said
to be larger than that Of Kentucky.
The cave is covered By volcano with
an extinct crater. The exploring party
provided with Bengal lights and scien-
ti6c appliances, descended to the level
of the cave, about fifty feet below the
surface, and penetrated 81 miles into
the in erior. The roof was so high
that the rockets exploded before reach
ing it. Many passages diverge in every
direction and stalectites and stalagmites
are abundant Two rivers, which enter
the other side of the mountain five
miles apart, unite below the principal
cave and issue from the mountain to-
gether. Vast numbers of bats inhabit
the caverns.

KLEPToMANIA. - The Christian
Statesman, the Methodist Church pa
per for this State relates the facts re-
garding Rev. Mr.. Craig's "unpleasa Mt
ness" in Milwaukee, growing out Of
his fondness for books, and closes an
editorial expression as follows
"But the question in the matter be-
tore us now is i:
What should the church do? There
can be only one answer. IF Mr.. Craig
has msnia for taking things not his
own, or is guilty Of wilful theft, he is
unfit for the ministry. 1t is not wise
prudent or just Tor the church to REIN
state him, at least for the present and
we think the action of the people in
the church at Ripon, in receiving his
statements and accepting him as their
pastor, will be severely criticised and
condemned. There is no law or pre-
cedent of the church for such a course.
The world is wide and there is enough
of good work to be done, and if Mr..
Craig is sincere he can, by an upright
life in a few years probation, show
himself to be true christian man.
We think that, 10 honor, he should
ask this probation for himself; and
the church, for her own sake, Gan do
no less than demand it of him.D

The Democratic press of the country,
under the inspiration Of the recent
elections, have renewed the discussion
of the case of the death Of the late
Secretary Stanton, stating that be did
not die a natural death, but that he
cut his throat with razor. The New
York Evening Post, on this subject,
very properly says: "This is no new
piece Of slander. It was put forth
very soon after the Secretary's death
first we think, in the La Crosse Demo-
crat-and was then shown in the col
umns of the Evening Post to be entire
Iy without foundatoc. Our Wash
ington correspondent called on Surg
conc eneral Carnes, who gave him
minute description of the last hours Of
the Secretary, and solemaly declared
that the story of suicide was wholly
without foundation. The undertaken
wuo nad cnarge of Tue fu-e--I, sa..
Harvey, Of Washington, was equally
positive in denying the report. Tesa-
money to the same effect has been Civ
en- by other attending physicians and
personal friends. Secretary Stanton
made many enemies during his oficial
career, and the Democratic press was
always especially bitter in its denunei-
alton of him. It is time that this ma
lightly should cease, and certainly that
old SANDERS should not again be raked
up against his memory"

The DarWinian Theory.

The Dundee (Scotland) Adyersise,
says:
"lt is not generally known that "a
series of elaborate experiments intend
ed to illustrate the laws affecting the
variation and selection of species have
been for some. years going on under
the direction Of able and intelligent
naturalists. These experiments were
begun soon after the appearance of
MIR. Darwin's great work, and their OBJ =
ject is to discover the extent to which
by persistent effort species may be va
rled, to what degree particular organs
may be varied, to what degree partic-
ular organs may be changed by diff
erent circumstance and condition, and
how far feeble and rudimen ary devel-
opment'may be increased and accele-
rated by special conditions and wants.
These experiments are carried out with
the uemost care, and their results re-
corded with accuracy; and they will
no doubt In due time throw much light
on the doctrines Of development and
and natural selection. The period du-
Ing which they have been conducted
has as yet been to brief to yield impor-
tant results, and they may possibly re-
quire to be carried on for more than
half century before their scientific
value is really ascertained These ex-
perlments are under the direct super.
vision of nearly all the more eminent
naturalists of the day, including Sir
John Lubbock, Mr.. Darwin, and Mr..
Wallace; and they will be the first sus-
tanned scientific test to which the laws
affecting the variation and origin of
the species have been subjected"
