''GoT THE BLUES. The reason gener
ally ascribed is that something has gone
wrong, but if you will question the patient
in regard to health, you will very often find
that indigestion is the prime cause; thus
is it our duty to guard against the monster
indigestion-and we know of nothing so
potent to assist digestion as Goes Dyspep-

cases of Dyspepsia of many years standing.

The Power of Imagination.


An old lady in Philadelphia, Jefferson
county, acquired the habit of using NOR
phia. After using it for relief from the
pains of tumor, no persuasion could in
duce her to give up the poison. Her fam
lily finally united in adeception, substituting
carefully prepared potato starch in NOR
phia bottles. At first she thought the
supposed drug an inferior article, but her
physician, who was in the secret, assured
her that it was all right, and she was salts
fed. She continued to use the article fol
fifteen years, and to the day of her death
and could not do without it, never having
learned the deception. At one time when
she was i'll the physician gave her Dover
powders, but she could not rest after tax
ing them until she took her starch NOR

We have received from s. r. Allen, of
Little Rock, Ark's, formerly Of Port
Byron copy of the Little Rock Evening
Star, containing very full report of the
reunion exercises there on decoration day,
in which the federals and ex-confederates
joined in the services of the day. We
have only room, to-day, for the following,
clipped from the published proceedings,
viz: t.&
''Gen. Edgarton having concluded his
address, which was received with frequent
applause, the band played another air, and
J. W. Austin, Esq, was introduced and
read the following poem written by Mrs
Judge S. r. Allen, in clear and effective
manner:
OUR DEAD.
Draw near to!Memory's sacred shrine,
| And bow with reverent head,
| Where sleeps beneath these grassy tents,
The army of our dead.
And here like loyal Nature, deck
With flowers of every hue,
Inc graves OF those who wore the gray,
! ana those who wore the blue
( The while with sad but thankful hearts,
/ We simple tribute pay
On! Angel OF the answered prayer,
Bend down to us to-day.
And let each heart responsive beat.
| Thou Oliver of all goodl
b.. Unto the impulse, grand and sweet
OF loving brotherhood,
Not grief for these dear dead alone,
, Our floral gifts shall tell,
But love-and peace with all who live,
Speak in each bloom as we'll.
Here daughters of our land! bestow
, | The southern roses bloom:
Bring the pale northern lily too,
| To deck each hero's tomb.
: Here soldiers come and fan the fires
By kind remembrance fed;
For surely you can honor best,
| THESE brave, true soldiers dead.
q Yes! these dear boys! the warning shock
. The fearful strife is past,
And sweety underneath one flag,
e They rest in peace at last.
One flag! upon its azure field,
Each star is shining bright;
t Untattered are the crimson bars
n How spotless are the white.
e And they who fought in bloody strife,
Mid battles fierce array;
Together bear the standard old
:, with willing hands to-day.
Far to the west they leave the past
u The long dark night is DER,
J. Brothers again, they eastward march,
Il AND hail the dawn once more.
e For here by these dear honored graves,
n Mid Summers golden hours,
Weclasp anew our friendships chain,
:, And bind each link with flowers.
The sentiments of the above poe
9 were received with warm plaudits."

The New York Herald says:

''For ten years the North has been
holding out the olive branch, and for
ten years it has been spurned. When
love is combined with patience it is
sure to win in the end. So our hope
has been and is now that the South
may begin to really know the North :;
that the issues of the war will be buri-
ed under the green fields that now
cover the scenes of the former strife !;
that the bitterness of the contest will
only be remGm bered as Englishnen
remember the wars of the Cavaliers
and the iioundheads, of the Jacobins
and the euanOverians-Ior the romance,
chivalry, poetry of the times, and not
as provocative of present dissension
and hatred"
When has theNorth rendered to olive
branch that the South did not accept? !?
Congress has not passed the GenGral
Amnesty Bill. 1t has maae some
special exceptions for office, of which
the South have not availed themselves.
Is there any reason TO complain of
that? Not that we can perceive. The
South has been anxious to accept the
quiesced in the abolition of slavery
they bave acquiesced in the negro be-
ing made u citizcn OF the United
States they have acquiesced in the
Fifteenth Amendment, which makes
them all voters; they welcomome
Northern men and Northcrp capital
10 their midst when il is brought there
for purposes of business. They do
object to carpet-baggers from other
States who come there for no other
purpose than to get office by stirring
up discussion and strife between the
tyo races. They object TO negro So
cial equality, That is the extent of
their offending. The olive branches
of the Grant regime have beer robbery
and spoliation.-Ea?,
