Do the people of the North realize
that Mr.. Tilden has received majority
ofthe popular vote in Louisiana? Do
they realize that all the Republican
claim Of majori.ies telegraphed North
from that State were based simply upon
the reformation to throw out votes
enough to make them good? Scarcely a
word was said in these dispatches of the
charges of Intimidation and fraud made
since. They were bold claims Of actual
majorities, made in order to keep up
confidence in the North until scheme of
fraud could be matured. Now the Re-
publican correspondents in Louisiana
admit that majority OF the vote cast is
against them, and yet declare that the
electoral vote of the State will be given
to Hayes Could there be anything
moro Infamous than this?

are still the most thorough AMI search
ing cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses of one pill day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote VIZ
orous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known Tor
more than n quarter Of century, ana
have obtained worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several aSSlmlla-
tive organs of the body, and are 50
composed that distractions within
their range can rarely withstand or
cvade them. Not only do they cure
The everyday complaints OF every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have batiled the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time, the safest and best phySic for
children. BY their apericnt action
they grippe much less than the common
purgativcs, and never give pain when
the bowels are not infiamcd. They
reach the vital fountains OF the blood,
and strengthen the system by irccih"
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
/. all climates, containing neither
>a.omel nor any dcleterious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

A Desperate Act.
Missouri Democrat

Caldwell, one of the meE killed while
attempting. TO rob the Mortified bank, is
undoubtedly the same man who worked
in the tin and lead mines near this place
two years ago He was regarded here rs
a desperate character. To illustrate his
recklessness and daring it is related that
on one occasion he, in company with
another miner, got on spree, and while
standing around fire. Chadwell's
partner picked up a keg of blasting
powder and deliberately threw it on the
fire. Caldwell very coolly slapped him
over, and then snatched the key of
powder from the flames and threw it in
ditch. This circumstance is we'll known
to our citizens.

erse country" TO those who are anx.
ious to buy good homes cheap We say
without fear of contradiction that this
is one Of the very best localities IN the
country. We have every kind of tim
Der here in abundance. except walnut.
Here We are Just on the north side Of
the pine belt OF Michigan, aud above
here and south Of the straits there IN
no pine along the q. Il. and 4. Il. Il.
Our soil varies from light sandy To
gravelly brown and heavy clay, and is
covered with the finest hardwood tim
ber man ever saw. Though We are $50
miles north of your metropolis We can
raise more and better fruits than your
surrounding countries. All fruit
grown here is almost absolutely free
from imperfections and worms. Plums
are raised here as easily as corn on
praries. Peaches are not considered
safe crop, though some very fine speci-
mems are produced here. As fine wheat
as ever grew is raised, and all the small
grains and fruits are cultivated sue
cessfully. Corn is not profitable
crop, however, owing To the cool nights
in GUNNER. No man need come ex-
pecting to make n home here without
money, except by hard work, but he
who is willing to be pioneer in this
region, and work, can in few years
have a competency, home, aud US
large a family as he desires This Sec
ton is dotted with many young, grow
ing, aud promising towns, prominent
among which is Kalkaska. This rs the
comfy seat Of Kalkaska County, is sit
uated on the q II. and Il. X. r., aud is
surrounded by n large and varied Il
scope of country az one could desire.
The town is only three years old, and
now numbers 400; has two hotels, a
dozen stores, planning mill, saw mill,
good school and county buildings.
The Congregational and Methodist so
cieties hold weekly services, but have
not yet built churches. For fun and
fishing this is without doubt the center
Of fish Eden. The North Branch OF
the Boardman River flows through the
town, and this stream is literally alive
with the beautiful speckled trout.
The Rapid, six miles distant, contains
the same in inexhaustible numbers.
Some ten miles from here is the Manis-
tee River, which contains the queen OF
fish, the grayling. in vast schools. The
stories told about the number OF gray
ling now seen in this river are almost
fabulous, yet / have good reason to
believe they are true. The fishing sea-
son for trout opens here May 1. and
for grayling June by law. Lands
can be purchased here at 30, -. sl0
and So per acre. according to distance
from railroad and condition Of i'm
provements.
The politics here are a. you would
expect when / state that two-tlIiris Of
the Inhabitants were soldiers Of the
Union. In some towns there are only
two or three Democrats. At this place
there are taken twenty-four Inter.
