RACE FOR LIFE.
Having heard much of the virtues
of the maidstone, at once made in
quiries for one, and on Wednesda,
evening, was told that a gentleman
named Turner Evans, of Iowa CITY
/ had one. AT televen o'clock that might
left this place for your city, but
owing to the flood in Cedar river did
not get through until noon next day
When the purpose of my visit was
made known to you and others there
was n general effort set on foot to fine
| what | sought.
The result was we learned tha
some years ago Mr.. Evans haG
treated some eases in Iowa City, ani

Center Point, and | was finally put
on the track TO Paris where |
Messrs. Evans Il Co. who have the
maidstone. This was on SATURDAY.,
eight days after the bite. About five
O'Clock p. m. that day the stone was
applied.
The first application of the stone
proved that the dog which bit me was
mad, and that my system was becOm-
ing impregnated with the virus.
SEVENTY AND THREE TINES.
The stone held oil twenty five min
utes the first time, when it was full,
changed color and dropped of. An
other scaritication was made and it,
was again applied and SO on, until it
had been applied 73 times, holding on
each time from % minutes to one
hour, until at last repeated efforts
showed that the remedy had done its
work, forit would adhere no more,
which is indicated by its failure to
stick and its change in color from
natural dark brown to a deep green
color.
HOW 1T FELT.
AT the first application it was very
painful, but grew less so each time
until the last.
To the owners of the stone, Messrs.
Evans u Fleming, feel. the most un-
bounded gratitude. They are
wealthy, honest and reliable men, and
have never failed to cure mad dog or
snake bites. They live near Paris,
Linn county, and in the past twenty
five years have saved many persons
from the horrible death by hydro
phobia, and have in the same time
rescued thousands of dollars worth
of stock from loss by the same cause.
If any one says there is no virtue
in the maidstone, let him be referred
To me and hundreds of others for
proof that there is. Very truly, n

Mr.. Buxton has heard from his lost
boy, who left him in Ottnmwa on
the 4th Of July. He started with 30
cents capital, got on the Central rail-
road of Iowa, and went to Mason
City, and from there 10 Clear Lake,
where he rusticated and fished till he
was tired. From there he went to
Algona, i'm Kossuth county, and
stayed a while. From thence he re-
traced his steps, passing through OF
tumwa, from the Central onto the B.
Il M. road and from here to Nepon-
set, in Illinois, l25 miles east of Bur-
lington. A cousin OF Mr.. Buxton
wrote him that the boy was there and
is all right, his whole trip not costing
him cent for railroad fare. For a
l2 year old boy we should call him
rather a daring traveller, and would
not advise any others to try to at
tempt such thing as they might not
get through 80 well.

In yesterdays Speyret Daddy Ives
goes back on Peter Cooper and all

a long article he says:
"The Democratic party may chas-
tise us with whips, the Republican

pions. "Choose this day whom We

Which, rendered into plain Eng

From the Detroit Tribune Sept. II.
TIE .yEU' YORK DE.uOCR.ICI.

The New York Democratic Convention, which
made such fiasco fortnight ago by the NOM
ination OF Horatio Seymour for Governor in the
face OF his positive defamation to serve, met
yesterday at Saratoga to repair. as far as posi-
BILE, the results OF their folly, and to patch up
their damaged ticket. This assembage has
been appropriately called the ''spilled- milk
convention" and its attempt to regain the pres
tige which 1t lost by the nomination and decli-
nation OF Mr.. Seymour will be just about as
effectual as would be an attempt to gather up
milk which bad once been spilled, From the
brief teleg raphlc report Of its proceedings which
has reached us, we judge that 1t . went through
the motions" very rapidly, and adjourned at
once. Perhaps the members were 30 thorough
ly ashamed OF their previous blundering that
they were glad to so through the forms of the
convention and scatter as rapidly as possible
The nomination, though evidently cut and
dried beforehand will take the public some
what by surprise. II was not awarded either
! to Potter, Dorsheimer or Marble, who we're
prominent before the last convention nor yet to
Scott Lord, who has loomed up since Seymour
defamation as harmonizing candidate. The
chosen sacrlhcial victim is Lucius Robinson,
| the present state controller, a former Republic
can who went over to the Democracy IN 1872.
and who was elected to the office which he now
holds IN 1875, by majority OF 1859 over
Francis +. Spinner. In this nomination the
convention stultfied itself. A fortnight age
this same body Of men howled down Dor.
sheimer's name. when ii was presented for the
gubernatorial nomination, with the CRY OF
" Give us Democrat" But after thus cast.
ing contumely on Dorsheimer because of his
Republican antecedents, they have now taker
up as their candidate man whose Democracy
is of at least as recent date.
In nominating such men as Adams in Massa
chusetts and Robinson In New York, the Demo
Gratis practically acknowledge one az two things
either that they have no men in their owr
party fit for the highest State Offices, or thai
they have no hope Of success witr regular
Democrats for their nominees, and must pu,
forward former Republicans to help them tc
victory. Adams and Robinson, however, are
only fgure-heads. The real purpose OF the
Confederate Democracy is to use these men tc
attach votes to the Tilden- Hendricks ticket
Should the Democratic party succeed, by the
use OF figuIe-heads like these, IN gaming con-
troll Of the Executive and Legislative depart
ments OF the government, the Adamses and
Robinsons Of the party would soon be made 10
feel their insignlhcence aud importance in guild.
ing its policy, while the Ben. Hills, the Black
burns, the Morrisseys, the Seymours, and the
Eatons OF the party would come to the front.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1876-09-29

Now, as l said, am not here to defend
everything which the Republican party has
done. 1t has done things which cannot be de-
Tended, and for which it ought to be ashamed.
But, Notwithstanding that, 1t has attached to
itself principles OF righteousness which it still
maintains, for which 1t is safe to follow. Sell
fish men have sought to ride upon its progress
into power, but 1t Is great progressive move
ment Notwithstanding this. 1t has, as ever,
that great love for liberty and obedience to all
law; its tendency is towards reform, and it is
as worthy to-day as 1t has ever been, to be
trusted by true hearted men, 1 am not Wiling
to take away my confidence from it because
evil men have thrust themselves into it fol
their own evil ends. am not willing to thrust
it away, though 1 would expel these men with
this spirit from its ranks.-Prof. seelye.
