II. r. Stevens, Esq:
Dear Sir: When about six months old was
vaccinated. The parties who were vaccinated
from the same virus died from the humor. The
humor spread over me to such an extent that
waa rolled In bran to prevent me from scratch
ing my person. The disease finally settled in
my head. / remained In this condition about
twenty years. troubled all the time with sores
breaking in my head and discharging corrup-
tion from my ear. At this time a small kernel
appeared on my neck, gradually Increasing in
size until tumor formed OF such immense Size
I could see IL by turning my eyes downward.
All this time was taking various remedies for
my blood without any substantial benefit
then went to a prominent physician In Bos-
ton who, during his treatment of six months,
lanced the tumor eight times, which cost me
nearly 2400. This left me with a rough, aggra-
Of the tnmor, and In q siclxly, feeble condition.
consulted another physician In Natick, who,
after considerable time, succeeded In healing
the sore without reducing the size. AT this
point commenced to use Vegetine, through
the earnest persuasion of a friend. After had
taken this medicine about one week / expert
snced wonderful sensations. My whole body
seemed TO be undergoing radical change, un-
til, finally, the tunor broke and discharged
frightful quantities. From this time II deereas-
ed In sire until the bunch disappeared, but my
neck stfll bears the ugly scars OF the sore and
lance. / am now healthy and strong and able
TO work every day.
/ will also mention that have been an acute
sufferer from lnfiammatory rheumatism ever
since can rem ember, until commencing the
rheumatic pains ceased. This statement VOL
unteer tor the purpose OF benefting other suf-
fering humanity, and you will confer a favor by
giving IL as much publicity as thought proper.

The North and South.

Neither the jeers at the bloc dy shirt,
nor the natural and just desire of recon
citation, nor the extravagancies and Of
fenses of the colored voters of the
| Southern States, nor the bland and
smooth orAtory of the Southern Demo
cratic politicians, nor the crafty declara-
| tions of Northern Democratic politicians
that the only danger of the country is
the tendency to national centralization,
nor the cry that by-gones should be by
cones, and that the Centennial year is
the accepted time for national harmony,
should cause any man to forget that the
Democratic party is now what it has been
for many years-the political organiza-
tion of those who aimed to destroy the
national Union and government for the
basest and most revolving of purposes,
and who still declare that their views,
except as to the practicability of seces-
sion, remain unchanged. There are hon
orable men in the late Confederate States
who sustained the war against the Union
and who are now honestly and earnestly
anxious to do all their duty as citizens of
the Union but the great controlling
public opinion of those States Is necessa-
rily unenlightensd. Slavery was always
and most truly, denounced as curse to
the master class not less than a foul
wrong to the victim. 1t necessarily pro-
hibited intelligence. 1t discouraged
schools. 1t cherished local prejudices,
and fostered jealousy and hatred of
strangers. Moreover, it was q system of
outrage and violence. The pictures of
life in those States, drawn by Mr.. Ohm
stead, in his vivid and invaluable series
of works published just before the war,
reveal a social condition which is not
surprising under the circumstances, but
which is not the less lamentable The
ignorance, the squalor, the shiftlessness,
the semi mi-barbarism, were the inevitable
result of slavery, and they were only
more strongly emphasized by the waste
full profusion and the aristocratic but not
moGern and wholly un-American tone OF
TIE great slave owners.

there are some poor fellows that were
unfortunate enough to tunnel under the
