case hopeless.

That he may bless the of your edcine to Others

IT is decidedly amusing, in the light of later
events, to read the Democratic papers pub
lished the morning after Mr.. Blaine's speech
on the amnesty bill was delivered. Some OF
them jubilantly exclaimed that he had killed
himself, others kindly relieved him from the
imputation Of suicide, and gave to that little
sparrow, Sunset Cox, the credit Of the deed !;
but they all united in saying that he was
"awful dead" Since Hilps speech they are
beginning to have their doubts, and are NOR
alizing over the evils of premature burial.
They will find before fall that Mr.. Blaine has
as much vitality as their favorite dogma of
state rights. He is not one of the sort of
men that die easy.

Mr.. SwNBURNE's new poem is Greek
legend in Greek form, like the "Atalanta in
Calydon." The story is that of Erechtheus,
great-grandson of Vulcan, and king of Ath-
ems, who went to war with Eleusis, and at
the command of the gods, sacrificed his
daughter Chthonia to gain success. The
poem is said to be marked by Mr.. Swinburne's
usual tricks of assonance and ALTERATION.

diseases of kindred nature make no hesitation in
saying that know VEGETINE to be the most reliable
remedy for Catarrh and General Debility.

years, and at times very badly. She has thoroughly
tried every supposed remedy that we could hear Of
and with all this she has for several years been grad

She was in this condition when she commenced to
take VEGETINE; could see that she was improving
on the second bottle She continued taking the VEG
ETINE until she had used from twelve to fifteen bot
ties. am now happy in informing you and the pub
lie f you choose to make it public that she is en-

after nothing else would. Hence l feel justified in
saying that VEGETINE is the most reliable remedy,
and would advise all suffering humanity try it, for
believe it to be ood, honest, vegetable medicine,
