Ayers .Ague Cure,

For Fever and Ague, Intermittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever,
Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever,
&c., and indeed all the affections which
arise from malarious, marsh, or mias-
matte poisons.
This is compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chi.ls
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
remedy tlS necessities of the people in malari-
GUS districts demand Its great superiority over
any other medicine yet discovered for the cure
of Intermttents is, that it contains no qunine or
mineral, and those who take it are free from
danger of quinism or any injurious effects, and
are as healthy after using it as before. 1t has
been extensively employed during the last thirty
years in the treatment of these distressing dis
orders, and SO unvarying has been its success
that it has gained the reputation of being infali
bic. 1t can, be safely recommended sure
remedy and specific for the Fever and Ague of
the West, and the Chills and Fever of the
South, which, once broken up by it, do not
return until the disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise
from the irritation of this poison, such Neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, TOothache, Earache, ca.
Affections, Mysteries, Pain i'm the Bow
els, Collie, Paralysis, and arrangement of
| the stomach, all of which become intermittent
| or periodical, have no speedicr remedy than
| AYERS AGUE CURE, which cures them all alike
and protects the system from future attacks. As
| a preventive, it is of immense service in those
| communities where Fever and Ague prevails,
rs it stays the development of the disease if taken
on the first approach of the premontory symp-
toms. Travellers and temporary residents nre
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves of the
protection this remedy Affords
For Liver Complaints, arising from
torpidty, it is excellent remedy; it stimulates
this organ into healthy activity, and produces
many remarkable cures where other medicines
fail.

MR.. JULIAN HAWTHORNE has seen fit to
invite the public to take part in quarrel
which he has with his brother-in-law, Mr..
George Lathrop. He accuses Mr.. Lathrop
of using in the work called ga Study of
Hawthorne" private papers left by Nathan
iel Hawthorne, upon which papers the son of
the great author seems to think he has ex
elusive claim. Upon this statement many
journalists have hastened TO abuse Mr.. La
throp, evidently without having read the
book upon which the controversy is based.
The condemnation is not called for. 1t is
not clear that Hawthorne's son has any bet
ter right to the papers in question than has
Hawthorne's daughter, who is the wife of
Mr.. Lathrop. 1t is certain that the papers
are not avowediy quoted from in the volume,
and Mr.. Lathrop assures the public that he
has made no use of them. There is no rea-
son why we should disbeleve him. His
book is regarded by many as very able anal
ysis of Hawthorne's genius and writings,
and as amply vindicating its right to exist
ence. 1t is certainly a remarkable work for a
young man but twenty-five years of age.
Julian Hawthorne's scruples and delcacy
will be paid little heed to by generation OF
readers who have seen the Notebooks made
merchandise Of Nor will Mr.. Lathrop suffer
from the charge that he is ''literary hack." !"
That term is of wide application, and not a
few of his critics will find themse Ives EN-.
braced in it.

Political News.

Forty,one German papers have declared for
Hayes and Wheeler.
The movement to nominate Evarts for
Governor is growing among the New York
Republicans.
The the New York Erening Mail says of
Hayes record that it sis simply that of an
honest man who has always kept good COM
pany, who never intrigued for power, and
who never manipulated party machinery.
He never would have remained day in pol
itical fellowship with the Tweed gang. They
could have found no use for such man.
But Mr.. Tildcn somehow answered their pur
poses, and they seemed essential 10 him."
Senator Morrill, says that he desires to have
as Second Assistant Secretary and Solicitor
OF the Treasury gentlemen with whom he
has intimate personal relations, and that it
may be some days before he makes the ap-
pointments. He emphatically denies that
the President has signified desire to have
supervising architect Potter and other subor-
dipate Treasury officials removed. The
President has not mentioned the removal of
any officer to him.
The grand rallying of the Republican party
displeases the Democrats. But they have
themselves to thank for it. One winters
trial of Democracy has been enough. Those
who were most dissatisfied with the conduct
of some Republican leaders feel as keenly as
the most thorough partisans that it would be
not only positive evil but decidedly danger
fO iDfrnSt nprncfraiDa1 fn ha
Democratic party. Hence it is that Liberals,
Independents and anti-Grant Republicans
gather to the support of Hayes and Wheeler
quite as earnestly as those members of the
party who claim the best record for s'regular-
ity."-N. Y. Tribune.
A political funeral took place at Indian
apolis, few days ago, being that of Mrs.
Helen E. Willis, sister to Senator Twitchell
of Louisiana. Her husband and brother
were killed by the white leaguers, her only
brother has lost both arms and received
other injuries from their violence, and her
own death was induced by the scenes of
terror aud anguish she has passed through.
Under these circumstances, the pastor who
pronounced the funeral address was certain
ly pardonable for uttering some burning
! words upon the state of society at the South,
and the proper attitude of Christian and
decent men, throughout tine country, toward
political party that depends on such hor-
rors to perpetuate its power.
Four years ago made over three hundred
speeches for Mr.. Greeley. He was faithful,

of the boy out West, who, being kicked by a
mule while trying experiments, upon regain
ing consciousness asked his father if he would
look as we'll as ever. 'No, my son." replied
his father, ''but you will know much more"
Now, don't know as look as we'll as I used
to, but am pretty sure know good deal

THOUGH the Servians have failed in their
attempt on Bosnia and Bulgaria the Turks
have no more than held their own and are
not free from the fear of disaster. The Ser
Wan force which marched into Bosnia has
been driven back to the Drina, Gen. Zack
has been forced into the mountain defiles
whence he emerged, and Gen. Tchernayeff
has barely got across the border. and is now
confronted by powerful Turkish army.
The Montenegrins have Jared little better
than their Servian brothers. They have had
one drawn battle With the Turks, and have
suffered one defeat. 1t looks now as if the
decisive battle would take place near Widdin
between the main army of the Servians and
the command of Abdul Kerim.
