NONE but physician knows how much
reliable alteratiue is needed by the people. On
all sides of u.s. in all communities everywhere
there are multitudes who suffer from COM
plants that nothing but an dlteratiue cures
Hence great many of them have been made
and put abroad with the assurance of being
efectual But they fail to accomplish the
cures they promise, because they have not the
intrinsic virtues they claim. In this state of
the case, DR.. J. c. AVER, & Co., of Lowell,
have supplied COMPOUND EXTRACT OF SARsA-
pARILLA, which proves to be the long-desred
remedy. Its peculiar difference from other
kindred preparations in the market is that it
cures the diseases for which it is recommend
ed, while they may not. We are assured of
this fact by more than one intelligent physi-
clan in this neighborhood, and have the fur
ther evidence of our own experience of its
truth-NashriHe Tenn Farmer.

Pocket Picked.

Pocket Picked.
On Wednesday morning last, as Mrs. Sallie
Turner and daughter, Of Wilmington, were
entering the down train, the former lady had
her pocket picked. Mrs. Turner, after pur-
chasing two tickets for Middletown, entered
the car and took seat. She remembered
putting the purse back in her pocket, and
shortly after having occasion to look in the
purse for something she missed it. She says
On entering the car she was crowded very
much by several young men standing at the
door, and thinks her pocket was picked at
that time. The purse contained 5000, the
two car tickets and some receipts. The po-
lice officers Of Wilmington ought to keep a
closer watch on such scoundrels at the arrival
or leaving Of trains at that depot Fl.

The Fraternal Era.

Vice President Wilson's advice to
the Vermont soldiers at Brattleboro'
to extend the right hand of fellow
ship to those who oppose us both in
the North and the South, and to
''turn the past over to the historian"
is sound advice, and few men are
doing more to cultivate this frater-
mai and beneficent feeling than the
veteran public servant who uttered
it. THIS growing tendency TO drop
sectional animosities and hatreds
founded on differences of race from
our politics is one of the best out.
groupings of the Centennial period.
The new creed of sectional fraterni-
ty finds day by day more and more
advocates. and indeed no one can
recall the events OF the Revolution,
when the two sections were Joined
50 closely together in opposing a
common enemy, without finding
sectional friendship stimulated. The
Obliteration of ''North and South
from our politics will probably be
the browning glory OF the celebration
next year. The strong tendency OF
events in this direction is every.
where observed. especially abroad.
where people can see us probably
better than we can see ourselves.
And the tendency is all for good

reason to retain, a lively sense of salts

that the reports of the Kentucky GeOlog-

the work OF skilled hands in various
branches of art and mechanism, all com

The error in this lies in the assump-
ti0n that Jefferson Davis was peculiarly
responsible for the civil war in which
he played so prominent a part, and
ought TO be dealt with differently from
his associates. This is wrong. His
share in the secession movement and in
the four yeaLs sanguinary warfare which
followed 1t, was no greater than that of
thousands of other men; and he ought
TO be forgiven Just as much as they. IL
is true he was President of the Confed-.
eraey, and was thus vicar and represen-
tative of the leaders and people by whom
that COnfederacy was organized and
maintained; and he had the control over
armies and councils which belonged to
that office; but he was no more earnestly
devoted to the Confederate cause and
was then no more hostile to the United
States than were the great mass of his
associates and followers.
1t i S only natural that he should now
be the object of a peculiar and more
lasting resentment, but this is unjust
and unwise; and since all the others are
forgiven, he should not be rendered
conspicuous by being an exception.
Let him be forgiven also; and if he can.
do any good anywhere, let him do it

EX-PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S
ESTATE.
No VIII or Insurance Policy
Discovered


From those eOnversaHt with ex.Presi-
pent JOhnsOn's private affairs, we learn
that it is not known as yet that he made
a viii previous 60 his death, or rather
that any such document is now in ex-
istance, It is believed that he wrote
more than one, but it does not appear
that one Of them is in force. Il is known
that he incurred heavy loss from the
failure of Jay Cooke, and It is possible
that this change in his estate made it
necessary that he should change any
will lie had made previous to That time,
il is probable that he never made a
will afterwards, owing TO the uncertain
ty as to what his actual losses would
be.
Those who have the custody of his
property and papers know nothing of
the existence of an Insurance policy ON
Mr. Johnson's life, and they do not be-
lieve that he had any such policy. Mr..
Johnson's estate was not large, but suf-
ficient TO keep his surviving family
above want His manner Of living was
simple and economical, and hia family,
no doubt. learned the same lesson from
him that he practiced all through life
