ProYe All Things. Hold Fast That
Which is Good.

For the sick and suffering the observance of
the above injunction is pre-eminently wise
Probably in no department of science have
quacks and pretenders so injured the repcta
ton and success of true scientists in med
icine The efforts OF reformers to profit by new
principles and discoveries in this branch OF
learning are perpetually hampered by their
abuse in the hands Of inpudent ignorance. The
proper course to take in regard TO the remark
able advances which pathological science is
making, is not to reject alike all practitioners
who make use Of new and valuable agencies,
but to patronize only those who give indubit-
able proof in the success of their practice, snd
by the testimony OF the press and The people
that their claims are well founded.
While not protesting to work miracles or cure
all disc asses, Drs. Darrln Ne rill do claim TO
reach many diseases generally deemed incur
able, and which indeed are 60 by the methods
and remedies ordinarily employed.
Magnetism is not new remedial agent, but
the limits of it's application aud capabilities in
the cure of disease have never as yet been de-
termined. Prejudice aud false pride have here
tofore prevented both the great mass of regular
practitioners and the public from availing
themselves ofits benefits. But "facts are stub
born things" and Tits trne That "one fact is
worth thousand theories" then the reasoning
that entirely rejects magnetism as curative
agent with the cry of "humbug," .fslls TO the
ground.
Read and reflect on the following Mrs. Ann
Lewis, 222 East Market street, severe functional
arrangement OF the heart, cured with one treat
ment during Dr. Darrin's visit to indianapolis
five years ago. Has not been troubled with IL
since.
Peter wilkins, 2Si West Michigan street. Pa
ralyss of arm for two years. Cured, and remains
so to this day.
Mrs. NJ. K. Bower, pharyngeal catarrh and
bronchial irritation for years, loss of voice for
eleven months. Entirely cured In four weeks.
Authentic proof OF this and many other cases
equally striking can be found at the office.

In tie November number of Harper's Mag
azine, we have a most delightful article upon
"Barny Cornwall and his Friends" from the
pen of James L. Fields. The scenes ale
splendidly sketched, the people and incl
dents kindly gossiped about, and the whole
is woven into a pleasant narrative of hours
spent with the old man and his illustrious
companions. Perhaps there is nothing that
he tells that We enjoy more than his briet
description OF Adelaide Proctor, "who a
shy, beautiful GIRL" was even thus full OF
the promise of the genius that in after
years so fully assured her permanent
place among English authors. For quite a
while she used afeigned name, as a contribu-
tor to the columns of Dickens Household
Words, but after some time her mother
revealed the secret, so delighted was she
at the high concentrations of Dickens upon
his unknown correspondent. The whole
article sbounds with personal "reminiscences
blending with historical facts in simple,
unaffected manner. We see that Mr.. Fields
is soon to deliver lectures out West, his
subjects being drawn from the best authors
and their works.

Elections.


The returns from the states voting last
Tuesday have proved unfavorable to the
democracy, II the estimate is made
npon the successes of the last years
elections. Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania.
Wisconsin and Minnesota go Repub-
licsn, willis New York is yet doubt
full, but most likely will go Democratic by
one or two thousand, and Maryland also
Democratic, but close, wAilo we have
triumphant victory IN Mississippi. In
our telegraphic columns Will be found
the details. The causes which have pro-
duced this result, so different from what was
expected, especially in New York and Penn
sylvania, have been various, but not OF such
q character as to prevent a victory in al
most every one of those states a. the presi-
dental election.

Mr.. j. w. Barnes writes the Sentinel
from Cambridge. Ohio, that: "Snce his
election to the Ohio legislature, the Repub-
can press of Ohio have hoisted the name OF
Private Dalzsll as candidate for the vice
presidency of the United States, and our
word tor it, be would make an admirable
successor to Henry Wilson, or even to u s.
G. himself" Though the Sentinel Is no
acquainted with the writer, it heartily con-
ours in the above in so far as it has refer
ence to the relative fitness OF Dalzsll and
Grant for the position of president Of the
United States. The one is just about as suit
able as the other, with the odds 10 favor OF
the private. Either would represent the Re
publican party OF to-day very creditably,
but the country can do better.

Joaquin Miller, the long SHARED poet OF the
Pacific slope, recently invited Gen. Grant to
attend his lecture on Literary London -
and, as be sent him complimentary ticket,
of course his excellency attended. He was
assigned to front seat, where he could
study tue bsrd's shape and amuse himsell
while the literary exercises were in progress
There was no indication that he was not
amused until he heard the poetic lecturer
express the opinion that the crying need of
the country is literary president, who
should be selected for the centennial year.
Then cloud gathered about the executive

The case of Jesse Pomeroy, the youthful
Herod OF Massachusetts, is, in certain
sense, an issue in the election in that state
today. 1t will be remembered that Gov
CASTOR has neglected to sign the boys death
warrant, being unable to commute
the punishment without the consent OF
his council, majority of the MEM
bers of which were in favor of death.
Although Gov. Andrew once followed q
similar course under the same circumstan-
ces, this neglect on the present governors
part has been used as a weapon against
him throughout the campaign. The result
of the contest at the ballot box will un-
doubtedly settle the fate of the hoy.

II the Sentinel knew just how to discuss 3
doxen subjects in single article of mod
crate length, some reply might be ventured
in answer TO a column leader in the
Evansville Journal OF yesterday. But TO
review the previous record of the Sentinel,
discuss the platform of the Democracy last
year, overhaul the Democratic contest over
the election of senator, restate the position
of the Sentinel on the finance question,
prognosticate what the next congress will
do with the Sherman bill, determine the
question of speakership, tell why Allen was
defeated in Ohio, and then finally tackle

The Chicago Tribune is authority for the
announcement that the report of the Usage
commission whitewsshed agent Gibson at
tSe expense Of the Indian commissioners
The commission made use of q most miser-
able technical bubble in saying that the
government had net lost anything through
Gibson, when the Indians we're the losers.
Such subterfuge may serve it's purpose Tor
brief time, bat it can not deceive an In
vestigating public. That Gibson had robbed
the nations wards instead OF the govern
ment, does not mitigate the enormity OF the
crime, rather the reverse. But the general
result of Investigations into Indian affairs
does not differ materially from this case.
All of them should be summed up in the
one word "farce." Even the administration
organs like the Tribune admit this tact.

too, in the heaviest vote ever cast in a

sailed on the 26th and lost one day in

laid in an additional amount Of ice. If
the person in charge Of the refrigerator
had been competent person and had
understood the business be would have
examined how much ice had been ex-
hausted the FIRST twenty-four hours.
However, we, the peach growers who
shipped thu two thousand crates of
peaches. have nothing to do with the
refrigerator. We agreed to give you .
certain amount Of money for certain

built ships. fitted up as = refrigerator

put our peaches on board and paid you
our money 10 good faith; you made.

the ice was exhausted; and, therefore,
