Unlimited Remedial r Resources.

People sometimes suppose that DR..
PIERCE. Family Medicines represent the en-.
tire extent of his resources for curing disease.
This is an error. Experience proved that.
ito Prescription, Pleasant Purgative Pellets,
Compound Extract of Smart-Wced, and DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy would, If faithfully
used, cure large variety of chronic COM
plants, there would be here and there q
case which, from its severity, or from its
complication with other disorders, would
resist their action. These exceptional cases
required thorough examination into their
symptoms, to ascertain the exact nature and
extent of the disease or diseases under
which the patient was laboring, and the use
of specific remedies to meet and overcome
the same. This led to the establishment Of
the Worlds Dispcnsary, at Buffalo, N. T.,
with its Faculty Of Physicians and Surgeons,
each of whom is skilled in the treatment Of
chronic disorders In general and those be.
longing to his own special department in
particular. To one is assigned diseases Of
the throat and lungs; to another, diseases
of the kidneys and urogcpital organs; to an
other, diseases of the nervous system; and
to another, diseases of the eye and ear.
Thus the highest degree of perfection in med
icine and surgery is attained. The establish
ment of this Institution enables the Doctor
to meet a long.felt want in the treatment of

the Dispcnsary in person. The amp1est re.
sources for the treatment Of lingering afec:
tons are thus placed at the disposal of
every patient, and those ON whom the pro-
prietary medicines do not bavc the desired
effect can procure . more thorough and
efficient course by personal application to
the proprietor of the Worlds Dispensary.

A Pigmy Graveyard In Tennessee.

An ancient graveyard of vast proper
tions has been found in Coffee County.
1t is similar to those found in White
County and other places in Middle
Tennessee, but is vastly more extensive,
and shows that the race of pigmies who
once inhabited this country were very
numerous. The same peculiarities Of
position observed in the White County
graves are found in these. The writer Of
the letter in describing the burying- place
says: "Some considerable excitement
and curiosity took place few days since
near Hillsboro, Coffee County, on James
Browns farm. A man was blowing in a
field which has been cultivated many
years, and plowed up mans skull and
other bones. After making further ex-
animation, they found that there was
about six acres in the graveyard. They
were buried in sitting or standing posi-.
ton. The bones show that they were a
dwarf tribe of people, about three feet
high. 1t is estimated that there were
about $4,000 to 10000 buried there

The Hon. Charles Francis Adams
has used some Of the wisest and
most statesmanlike words which
this canFass has called out. They
are not the utterances Of q shallow
observer or a self-seeking politi-
clan, but Of q man long in public
life, OF varied political service, and
accustomed 10 discern the meaning
Of events and weigh the profess
sions Of parties. Mr.. Adams, how
ever, has said nothing truer or
more pregnant with suggestion
than the following, contained in q
letter addressed by him to the
Young Mems Democratic Club Of
New York. These are Mr.. Adams
words:
THE experience Of the last eight
years Of shameful profligacy in the
direction of public affairs, begin
ming with the history Of the credit
mobilier, and concluding with the
exposures made during the last
session Of congress, points TO but
one safe result 10 be arrived at in
the present election. That result
is a thorough change Of admins.

compromises with corruption and
pledges Of future amendment,
while the same fatal influences that

tinue in the ascendant. Unless the

eqnivocal manner, there will be no
thorough reform possible bereaf-

Hayes Defective Memory,

Rutherford Is. hayes should not
write letters. II he insists upon
so doing, some intimate friend
should give him hint to the effect
that consistency is jewel" Take,
for instance, his correspondence in
the case OF Nelson J. Leroy, the
soldier whose money [s1, OOO] he is
accused of keeping. To the request
Of Leroy's father for an account
ing" Mr.. Hayes at first wrote:
columbus, o., Oct a. 1860.
Mr.. JAMES LIE Roy:
Sri have no recollection OF
any such person, and consequently
could not have had his money
You must be mistaken, or some one
is trying to impose upon you.
r. b. HAYES"
Not liking this dig at his friends,
James Leroy rejoined, telling the
Governor that he would sue him,
and that he had four witnesses Of
the little transaction. Rutherford,
the peerless, again responded
having, it will be observed, succeed
ed in remembering somewhat more
than he could remember when he
first wrote:
columbus, o., Nov. 2, 1889.
Mr. JAMES LIE Roy:
Sir In reply TO yours of Octo-
Der 20, say that ] remember the
person you spoke Of, but never had
any money belonging to him. You
are being deceived, or are trying to
blackmail me.
Yours, etc,
X. b. HAYES"
Rutherford now recollects young
Leroy, but "never had any money
blonging to him'-he is sure of that.
And old Leroy is q blackmailer-
be is sure of that, too. Hayes was
then Governor Of Ohio, and James
Leroy was an indignant Republi-
can in Wisconsin. Leroy threatens
once more to have it out Of him
somehow, and says in clear and
candid letter:
81 do not wish to impute wrong
to any one, much less to a person
In yonr situation as the chief mag
istrate Of a State; but I feel it to
be my duty to myself and my dead
soldier boy, who earned his money
with his blood in the service of his
country, to have the money repaid
for the benefit of his friends"
He also incloses to Hayes the
ahdavits of two of Nelson's COM
rades, who swore that they saw him
give the $1,000 to Hayes. This
stirs mp Hayes memory again, and
he remembers some more and writes
this pitiable letter: ~
Columbus, o., Nov. 10. 1850.
Mr.. JAMES LIE Roy: Hoshi iHi1'
In reply to yours Of the 9th in
slant, must say that had left with
me some Of the boys money, but IL
was all returned by me before the
