Accounts from Villefrancho (Avey-
ron, in France,) state that the valley
is still covered with snow and the cold
very severe. The wolves, being al
most famished, have become most
audacious; few days back four of these
animals entered the village of Ricupe-
yroux in the open day, and carried off
two young pigs and goat. A number
of dogs have also been killed by them,
and the Inhabitants dare not venture
out at night unless armed with a gun.

In point of numbers, last evening,
the audience that greeted the Waite
Combination was hardly commensur-
ate with the fine bill offered and the
excellent rendition of the same by this
really meritorious company. Meritori-
Gus, we say, because it is deserving. The
conceptions of the characters assumed
seemed to be appreciated and under.
stood by each, and were rendered in a
manner that fully sustained the high
reputation the entire troupe have
made in our city as artists of ability.
The company will remain with us
another week. Monday evening will
be presented "Hamlet," and while we
are not quite prepared to say that Mr..
Leake will sustain the principal role in
a manner superior to any actor in the
country, we confidently predict that it
will be most acceptable representa-
ton. He has fine voice, good con-
ception of the character he portrays,
and will doubtless make decided hit.

SCHENCE's SEA WEED TeNIC.-In the atmosphere
experienced here during the summer months, the
lethargy produced by the heat takes away the de-
sire for wholesome food and frequent Perspirations
reduce bodily energy, particularly those suffering
from the effects of debiltatiRg diseases In order
to keep natural healthful activity Of the system,
we must resort to artificial means. For this pur-
pose Schenck's Sea Weed TeniO is very efsCtual A
few doses will create appetite and give fresh Wig
or to the enervaed body For dyspepsia it is inval-
liable. Many eminent physicians have doubted
whether dyspepsia can be permanently cured By the
drugs which are generally used fer that purpose.
The Sea Weed Tonic in its nature Is totally differ
emit from such drugs. 1t contains no corrosive
minerals or aos in fact it assists regular oper
atoms of nature s1d supplies her deficiencies The
tonic in its nature 80 much resembles the gastric
Juice that it is almost identical with that fluid The
gastric JUICE q the natural solvent which, in &
healthy condition Of the body causes the food to be
digested and when the juice is not exeTeted in
sufaeient quantities, indigestion, with all its dis
tressing symptoms, follows. The Sea Weed Tonic
performs the duty Of the gastric juice when the lat
ter is deficient. Schenek's Sea Weed Tonic sold by
all Druggists.

By r. V. PIERCE, n. D., Author Of "The
Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser"
A healthy liver secretes each day about
two and half pounds Of bile, which con.
tains great amount Of waste material taken
from the blood. When the liver becomes
torpid or cOngested, It fails TO eliminate this
vast amount Of noxiOus substance, which,
therefore, remains t. poison the blood, and be
conveyed to every part Of the system. What
must be the condition of the blood when il
is receiving and containing each day two and
half pounds Of poison Nature tries to work
off this poison through other channels and
oTgans-the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc, but
these organs become over taxed in perform
ing this labor in addition to their natural
functions, and cannot long Withstand the
pressure, but become variO Isly diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical
center Of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by
the unhealthy blood which passes to it from
the heart, and it fails to perform its Office
BEAUTIFULLY. Hence the symptoms Of bile
poisoning, which are dullness, headache, in
capacity to keep the mind on any subject,
impairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or
nervous feelings, gloomy forebOdings, and
iFritability of temper. The blood itself be-
ing diseased, as it forms the sweat upon the
surface of the skin, it is so irritating and
poisonous that it produces discClOred brown
spots, pimples, blOtches, and other eruptiOns,
sores, boils, caFbuncles, and scrofulous tu-
mors. The stomach, bowels, and other or
gans, cannot escape becoming affected,
sooner or later, and we have, as the result,
costiyeness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diar-
rhoea. Other symptoms are common, as bit
ter or bad taste in mouth, internal heat, pal
pitatiOn, teasing cough, unsteady appetite,
choking sensation in throat, blOating Of
stomach, pain in sides or about shoulders or
back, GOODNESS of extFemities, etc, etc. Only
few of the above symptoms are likely to be
present in any case at one time. The liver
being the great depurating, or blOOd-cleans-
ing organ of the system, set this great
"hOusekeeper Of orr health at work, and
the foul eOrTuptions which gender in the
blood, and rot out, as it were, the machinery
Of life, are gradually expelled from the sys-
tem. For this purpose, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, with very small doses
daily of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pei
lets, is pre-eminently the articles needed.
They cure every kind Of humOr from the
worst scFpfula to the common pimpIe, blOtch,
or eruption. Great eating ulcers kindly
heal under their mighty curative influence.
Virulent blood pOisOns that Turk in the sys-
TEN are by them robbed of their terrors, and
by their perseyering and somewhat pro-
tTacted use the most tainted systems may be
cOmpl etely renovated and built up anew.
Enlarged glands, tumOrs, and swelHngs,
dwindle away and disappear under the infiu-
ence of these great resOlVents.

The fall, however, is what we must al
ways expect from a party long in posses
sion Of power. The men Of principle in
the republican party have gone out of
it. The men who gave it leadership and
ideas are no longer in authority.-M y.
Herald.
Mr.. HAYES is the candidate not only
of the republicans OF Massachusetts,
Vermont, Michigan and Kentucky, who
are ready to re-organize the party in or
der to get the thieves out of it. He is
the candidate OF the New York custom
house, Of the Illinois whisky ring, Of the
Pacific coast ring, Of George E. Spencer,
of Alabama, and of the turbulent crowd
OF adventures who have been making a
Pandemonium of New Orleans this week
under the name of republican conven-
ton. He is the candidate of the rail-
road jobber, Blaine. and the proprietor
of the bloody shirt, Mr.. Morton, and he
must offend none of these men before
election day if he is to succeed Wash.

NOMINATION OF cor. HENDRICKS
New York World.


In nominating Thomas A. Hendricks,
of Indiana, as the c0mrade OF Gov. Tilden
upon the national ticket the democracy
have presented for the second place a
man entitled by his character and repu-
tatiOn to aspire to the presidency. He
was the leader of the party in the United
States senate during the stormy period
of reconstruction, and by his elOquence,
wisdom and legal learning he wen the
confidence of friends and respect of foes.
Eight years ago he was, as during the
present week at st. Louis, among the
great men of the party canVassed for the
presidential nomination. For many
years he has been the acknowledged chief
of the democracy in his own state, hold
ing his supremacy without effort, as he
achieved it without intrigue. He has
been an able and industrious governor,
watching with care over the interests of
his state during the past four years, and
administering its affairs with Justice
At the bar he has secured the respect of
his associates, and his daily life is made
pleasant by the love of friends and
neighbors. All the great prizes for
which men struggle seem to have come
to him naturally, and though not I'M
hopeful of the highest honor in the peo-
pIe's gift, he has been happy in adopting
as his philosophy the rule that the true
preparation for an advance in public
position is the faithful performance of
the duties with which man has been
already intrusted. It is a significant
fact which needs no trumpeting, that
either one of our nominees has far more
experience, reputation, and ability than
both the republican nominees put to-
gether

THIRD CLASS MAIL MATTER.

By the section in the postofice apprO-
priation bill relating to third-class
matter, all transient newspapers, maya
zines, books, and all printed matter, with
the exception Of circulars unsealed, will
be restored to the former rate of one per
cent. for every two ounces, while mer-
chandise and sealed circulars will remain
at the present rate. The bill apprOpri-
ates for the transportation Of the mails,
$15, 1891, 1851; that embraces the Star
routes and steamship lines at Sc, 1876
and railroad routes at SO, 100000, against
the estimates of the department of little
more than $l7, 100000 reduction upon
the estimate for the transportation of the
mails of 81 ,662, 149. There is nothing in
the bill which affects the fast mails,
such being, by special arrangement,
between the postmaster-general and the
ailroads.
