PERSEVERE
In the use of this remedy until cured.
1t contains the great healing ele-
ments of plants in their essen
sential form as obtained
by diStiIIatiOn.

Catarrh in its extent and destructive force stands
next to Consumption, and is closely allied to it, for
the other is only question of time 1t is therefore
a singular thing that those afflicted with il should
not make it the object of their lives to rid them
in the chronic stage, effect cure, even bring
the system under its influence fully. In many such
cases the bones and cartilage of the eaten
ing so affected to be rendered useless, the uvnla
SO elongated and infamed as to produce constant
and distressing cough The return to health must
cumstaGces, when so seriously afflicted; but as the
evidence of its great value daily comes to hand, we
become more and more satisfied that there does not
exist case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by a
judicious and persistent use of SANFoRD's RADICAL
CURE FOR CATARRH. The relief in every case OBJ
tanned from the first dose is indication of what it
will do when the system is brought constitutionally
under its influence.
SANDFoRD's RADICAL CURE is sold by all whole
sale and retail druggist throughout tie United
States. Price, $1.00.

A VAIL is going up at the low price got for
Turner'S Slave Ship at the auction sale of
John Taylor Johnson's pictures. The
sale is called "a sacriice''. Well,
it is'doubtful if even in England, where the
Turner cult so extensively prevails, larger
price could have been obtained. The Slave
Ship is one Of Turner's most extravagant
paintings, done when he had run color mad,
and no one admires it unless he has been
persuaded by Ruskin that he must. One
out-spoken critic says the picture suggests a
brindled cat having fit in a bowl of tomato
SOM.

The Florida Case.

The Supreme Court of florida seems
minded to emulate the extraordinary con-
duct of the Supreme Court of South Carolina;
but it certainly has not hastened to seize its
opportunity. Six weeks after election and
two weeks after the meeting of the electoral
college it commands recount of the votes.
II bases its order upon the theory that the
returning board has only by right admins
trative functions, while it exercised Judicial
authority in its canvass. The charge is not
sustained By the evidence. In Florida no
votes were thrown out because of intimida-
ton. The board exercised a privilege which
all similar bodies in the country exercise and
refused to count certain returns because of
their obvious irregularity. In the greater
portion OF these cases of irregularity the DEM
ocratic member of the board, Attorney Cen
eral Cooke, concurred in the rulings of the
majority. The cases in which he dissented
could, had they been decided otherwise, have
scarcely affected the result. After the ad-
journment of the board the party friends of
Mr.. Cooke brought such a pressure to bear
upon him that he felt himself compelled to
tardily object to measures which he had once
approved.
The action of the Florida returning board
will probably be similar to that of the South
Carolina body. IT will hold that, its business
finished and its adjournment final, there is no
authority TO call it together again, and it will
deny the jurisdiction of the Court. Its case
is strong one and its position difficult to
break down. If however it is overruled and
compelled to canvass the votes without any
reference to irregularities the result will
probably be the declared election of Drew
and the rest of the Democratic State ticket.
This will not affect the electoral vote. The
electoral college of Florida has met, tran
sacted its business, and adjourned, and its
verdict is now in the hands of the proper
custodians at Washington. Having discharg-
ed the duty for which it was constituted it
has ceased to exist, and there is no power to
resuscitate it. Nor would its revival affect
the result of the Presidential election, as it is
generally conceded that Hayes has majority
on the face of the returns in Florida. The
recount might reduce the declared majority
or him, but could not obliterate it.

SOME idiots now in Washington purpose
to hold a public meeting in that city Thurs

amendments abolishing the Presidency. 1t
is proposed to abolish the Presidency and
substitute an Executive Council therefor, to
be composed of seven Secretaries, or heads Of
departments, four to be elected by the House
of Representatives and three by the Senate,
from members of their respective houses, for
two years, one or all to be removed at any
time by the House electing them, and each
to have the rights of a member in both

A DISPATCH from MYcene to the London
Times reports that DR.. Schliemann's latest
discoveries are large golden mask and an
enormous breastplate of gold. He has also
found the body of man, wonderfully pre-
served, especially the face. The head was
round, the eyes large, and the mouth con-
tained thirty-two fine teeth. There were also
found fifteen bronze swords, with great golden
hilts-a mass of immense golden buttons,
splendidly engraved, ornamented the sheaths
of the swords; also two great golden goblets
and large quantity of other objects in gold,
several articles in chased crystal ten large
cooking utensils of bronze, but no traces of
anything in iron or glass.

During this Christmas season the papers
are rather unnecessarily dragging the Puri-
tans to the front. We are indebted to the
Prrtans for many things, but they regarded
the observance of Christmas as Popish
atomination, and would have felt insulted to
have their names associated with it. They
have no business with the merry festival, and
we in our turn should not insult it by inviting
their shades to join in the celebration.

THIS is the answer the Breckenridge, Ken

paper has been to war.

AN important order will soon be issued by
the Secretary of the Navy, directing the Off
GERS in command of naval stations and vessels
of war, wherever they may be cruising, to
take meteorological observations correspond
ing in character to those taken at the signal
service stations already established in many
portions OF the United States and other coun.
tries. The hope is entertained that, by COM
plance with this order, useful additions will
eventually be made to the existing stock of
knowledge in regard to the atmospheric cur
rents on which the predictions of Old Prob
abilities are based; and it may finally become
possible to foretell wet or dry, and warm or
cold seasons with considerable degree of
accuracy. -

ONE prominent Democratic paper in Mr..
Tiden's own state-the Troy Press gives i.
up and admits that Rutherford Birchard
Hayes is the President-elect. And, as if to
clinch this sensible conclusion, it says that
Gov. Hayes will without doubt be inaugur-
ated President of the United States on the
9th day of March. The Press admits that
"the country cannot afford another war;
and it proposes to wait patiently for Demo-
cratic success four years hence.
