Knocked at the door and asked to be admitted.
The angel that came to the %oOr told her that she
could not come in, for her name was not written
in the book.
She acknowledged she had been mean.
But said you must go and look again. lie did,
and said it was almost obscured by smoke. She
awoke and said she wouldn't smoke again.
This is hard lo'k; we hope this will prove a use

Let us look at the cost of tobacco each year.
1t is said to be S 100000 900 year.
In heaven no such stuff can be found

Let us look at the evil on the rising generation.

Some who have examined the dam

to be in very unsafe condition to stand

In its history, this Invaluable medicine occupies
the most honorable position possible for any rem,

only to the friends and neighbors and patients Of
the proprietor and always sought for by them
whenever troubled with Rheumatism, and in this
way came to the natioe of physicians generally,
and through their favorable expression, and its
acknowledged value as a Rheumatic Remedy, the
demand for it became so frcquent and urgent as
to oblge its proprietor to mere se his facilities
for its manufacture. Its reputation rapidly eX-
tended, and orders, letters of inquiry, letters
of thanks, and certificates of praise were daily
received from all sections of the United States and
Canada, and in this way, on basis of its merits

ton. Wherever introduced it has received the

of Adm Pease, last Thursday. He dis
covered it two or three years ago, and it
remained small hard lump until about a
year ago, when it grew faster, and for the
past four months has grown quite fast.
Originally it was probably solid but when
removed its contents were nearly liquid.
Its sack was as large as q saucer AND at

it would have penetrated into the cavity

Relations with Spain.

From a Washington special to the
Courier-Journal,w we derive the following:
Efforts are made by Washington cores
pOndents to explain away the recent gene
raj press dispatch published in respect to
Cuba; and, SO far as the State Department
correct i'll assuming that no change of
policy is yet determined on. Mr.. Fish has
been conservative all along on the Cuban
question, and has successfully resisted the
efforts and influence of the party in and
out OF Congress which have attempted to
commit the Government to policy of sym
pathy and recognition of tho Cuban insur-
gents. The question is not whether Mr..
Fish has changed his policy or not, but
whether he wilrbe able to keep the Admin
istration on the peace track which it has so
far pursued.
There is II growing impression in the best
informed political circles of both parties
from the influence OF his Secretary on this
question. 1t is certain that the President
has lately i'll conversation expressed him
self i'll terms entirely satisfactory to the
active friends and partisans of Cuba, and
that this class of persons is more sanguinc
OF favorable action than it has ever hereto
fore been. Tho belief that the Adninist ra-
tanned by Republican statesmen.
Unless public opinion shall be manifest ed
against such course, it may be assumed
that the next message of President Grant
Will go bow-shot beyond anything he has
heretofore said about Cuba. That he is at
policy seems to DO beyond all doubt
Some Republicans have suggested that he
will commend the recognition of bellige-
rent rights and throw upon Congress the
responsibility OF determining whether the
policy shall be carried out or not.

Party DiSciDlille.

On this vital subject the Vicl>sburg Her
aid has the following, excellent words of
advice:
There was nothing made palmer by the
last election in this State than tho benefit
of party discipline. The Democratic party
was well organized and disciplined while
the Radical party was badly disciplined and
disorganiZed. the natural result followed:
the Radical party sustained crushing
defeat.
Prior to the opening of the campaign
by the Democrats, there were those WHO
even doubted the wisdom OF holding State
Convention: We earnestly advocated it,
for we well knew that if we went in to the
contest without our party thoroughly
disciplined. our time would be wasted, for
defeat would await us. There are some
now who think it very little use to pay
much attention to party discipline. They
are hard to be taught anything for if there
is any lesson plain, it is that our party has
been the salvation of the State, and that if
we preserve it, it will! preserve us from the
horrors of misrulc which made the history
of the last few years. The safe way is to
keep our party we'll in hand for any future
dangers that may threaten. This is easily
done. The State Executive Committee
should be recognized until it is replaced by
another chosen by fresh State Convention
All the County Conventions should
preserve their organizations also. If this is
done, there will be no trouble or confusion
in preparing for another victory when the
next election is to be held.

1lississippi 70 Louisiana.

The result OF the election in Mississippi
has afforded just grounds for rejoicing to
The people of Louisiana. An election for
and members of the legisla-
ture, in State where the colored race pre-
ponderates, foots up a Democratic maj GRITTY
of over 20 900, a Democratic legislature and
four out of six Of the congressional delega-
ton.
: The TELEGRAPH, especially, rejoices. In
several articles. during the mississippi
campaign, we called attention to what was
TRANSPORTING in that State, with the view of
convincing the anti-Radicas of Louisiana
that Mississippi politics was q fair illust ra-
ton of what tho anti Radicals Of Louisiana
ought to do. We predicted victory for
the Mississippi Democracy, and we have
been surprised ut it's triumph
: The history of the political struggles in
Mississippi since 1868, until the last cam
paign, Is the history of failures based upon
lack of party discipline and want oil persis-
tent adherence to continuous limo of
policy. The dependency of tho honest
masses had reached such a depth, that, in
1872 they formally disbanded tho Demo-
cratic party and took up a renegade seces-
-sionist, Senator Alcorn, as the most relia-
BILE candidate for Governor. Their defeat
was Overwhelming. Then came the other
extreme of n distinct White Line party, AS
the natural and political result OF the
,Alcorn bargain. The White Limo move
ment, as local organization, was success
full. This revived confidence in the white
manhood of the State, and, to carry on the
canvass just closed, II Democratic State
Convention was called. Many were opposed
to such convention-some who were
White Liners, others who We're Conserva-
tives. But the convention was held, and
the extremes of opposition agreed to have
a Democratic State ticket, which Mt once
gave encouragement to the whites all over
the State and brought about an enthusiasm
which was simply irresistible. The Radi-
calls foresaw their defeat, and practically
gave up the contest weeks before the cleo
ton.
The Democrats took bold stand in favor
of the superiority of intellect and property
over ignorance and Incidence, but were at
great pains to concede all his rights to the
-colored man and to obtain his aid to redeem
the State; and in this way the State
redeemed, albeit the Radicals say force,
violence and intimidation were employed.
The Mississippi campaign, in fact, was the
Democratic campaign in Louisiana i'll 1865
over again. and was just such brilliant
Democratic victory as Louisiana can achieve
a second time under similar wise and dis.
