The liver is the great dcpurating or blood
cleansing organ of the system. Set the
great housekeeper Of our health at work,
and the foul corruptions which gender in the
blood and rot out, as It were, the machinery
Of life, are gradually expelled from the sys-
tenn. For this purpose DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, with small daily doses Of
DIR. Pierces Pleasant Purgatlvo Pellets are
pre-eminontly the articles needed. They
cure every kind Of humOr from the worst
sctofula 10 the common pimple, blotch or
eruption. Great eating ulcers kindly heal
under their mighty curative influence. Viru-
lent blood poisons that lurk In the system
are by them robbed Of their terrors, and by
their persevering and somewhat protractod
use the most tainted system may be COM
pletey renovated and built up anew En-
iarged glands, tumors and swellngs dwindle
away and disappear under the influence Of

POLITICAL ITEMS.

s5s" The Oswego IN. W Times senten-
tiously remarks: "Thls Hayes which is
rising in the West bids fair to overshadow
the Democratic party"
tz5~ The New York Tribune SAYS of
Hayes and Wheeler. "The combination
is one of the most formidable that has
been suggested on either side"
EB~ The credit due the Republican
party for good management of National
affairs was never more clearly shown than
in the light of present Democratic mis-
management. AS scandal -mongers the
Democrats of the House may be sue
cess, but as Legislators they have proven a
sad failure. Republic Magazine,
ty@ His Name
The man the Democrats to daze,
To scnd them on their devious ways,
And I'LL their souls with wild amaze,
Their buildings shake, their towers raze,
And put their whole shebang ablaze
At the end Of the coming election days,
ls-well, wen call him President Hayes.

GB@ The New York Commercial AdUer.
ttSer, one of the warmest champions of
Mr.. Blaine, says of the Convention: "The
work of the Republican Convention was
we'll done-platform as well as candidates.
For the whole country, as well as from a
party point of view it was wisely and
most acceptably done"
g9y" The Rochester Democrat says: " We
regret Mr.. Blaine's defeat. We should
have liked to chronicle Mr.. Conkling's
success. We should have been glad to
record the triumph of any other of the
good men mentioned. But the work has
been done, and well done. In some re.
spects Gov. Hayes is the best man that
could have been nominated"
EB~ Mrs. Hayes, the wife of the Repub.
lican nominee for President, is brilliant
and accomplished lady, and when Gen.
Hayes was in Congress she was one of the
centers of social life at the capital. A
lady of fine education, and possessed of
rare natural abilities and social powers,
she will grace the White House with ali
the honors of any of her fair predecessors.

Ia We recognize an old friend among
the telegraph dispatches-a quadrennial
visitor which turns up only during Presi-
Dental campaigns: "Set Washington
County down for 500 majority for Hayes
and Wheeler" Whole troops of such
friends will be coming along from this
time forth-honest, hearty assurances of
what the Republicans of the Northwest
will do in November. The dispatches
said the same thing four, eight, twelve,
sixteen years ago; they were true then,
and they will prove true again.-Chicdgo
Tribune.
EB' The old reliable Albany Journal
closes an enthusiastic article on the Presi-
dental nominations with: at is not in
the nature of things, not in the nature of
the American character, that such a ticket
should fail. 1t stands for all that the
clarified sentiment of the times demands,
and is the fit embodiment of the splendid
and unassailable platform which preceded
it. Both leaders and platform are alike
worthy of the Republican party and of
the country, and the former, with their
feet firmly set upon the latter, will be
borne upon the shoulders of the people to
an overwhelming centennial victory.

Glancing over daily paper this

ing item of news:
"a special from Lawrence, Kansas,
says that the Missouri river is rising
rapidly at that point and great fears
of q serious freshet there are enter
tained.n
Now that looks all right on the face
of it and reads coherently to q Fejee
Islander or Blackfoot Indian, but to
one who is conversant with the geog-
raphy and topography of the plac es
bounded by that raging canal, the
Missouri river, it is one of the most
startling dispatches that ever swung
over the wires, and Lawrence. Kan

hence the cities and hamlets which
line that shaggy irrigator must be
things that were. Jefferson City Is
doubtless loafing around about now

stant source of Joy to me-they corral

CoNvINCED.--A Danbury man car
ried home four quarts of soft.shelled
CLAIMS In an overcoat pocket. In the
same pocket was a handful of loose
tobacco. The soft-shell CLAIMS had Oft
Ell heard of the weed, of course, but
this was the first sample they had
seen, and by the time the man had
reached home each clam had a nice
quid comfortably rolled under it's
tongue. The CLAIMS were opened and
cooked, without the family noticing
the filthy habit they had got into.
They were served for breakfast, and
were partially eaten. The Danbury

nent to the close Of the Fisst Century Of Amer

Author of.1A Mammal Of General Hisssry,''
1.-THE Grrat Repablie,' Eae., Etc.
There has long been great and uni-
versally-felt want ola History Of the
United States suitable for general use.
This want is now being supplied by
The National Publishing Co., Of st.
Louis, who have issued handsome
volume, '"The Centennial History Of
the United States" by James d. Me-
Cabe, well-known historical writer.
This work will undoubtedly, take rank
as the Standard History Of the United
States. 1t is no dry mass ofdetails-no
bombastic effort to nflame the national
pride, but is clear, vivid and brilliant
narrative of the events Of our history,
from the discovery Of the American
Continent down the present time. 1t
traces the evidences Of that mysterious
race, the first occupants of our country,
and gives most interesting account Of
the Indians Of North America, from
the time of the coming of the white
men. The voyages Of Columbus, the
explorations of the different nations Of
Europe and the final occupation and
conquest of the land by England, are
told with graphic power. aa
Every step of our colonial history b
traced with patient fidelity, and the
sources of those noble, and we trust,
enduring institutions which have made
our country free and great, are shown
with remarkable clearness. The caus-
es of our great struggle for indepen-
dence are told with logical force and
ability unsurpassed in any work 0f the
day. Then follows clear and sue
cinct account of the formation q the
Federal Constitution; the establish
ment of the Union; the course ofafEAirs
until the breaking out Of the Second
War with England; and a full and COM
prehensive account Of that War and it,
results. The events Of our career from
the close of that contest TO- the cuu-
mencement Of the Civil War, follow In
their order. The history Of the Civil
War is related with intense vigor, and
with strict fidelity to truth. The
author pleads the cause OF no party or
section. He states facts, points out
the lessons which they teach, and ap-
pealing to neithe, passion nor political
feeling, trusts to the good sense of his
countrymen to sustain his views. The
book contains an Appendix, giving IN
account of the approaching Centennial
Exhibition.
