Here is a specimen Of the re-

Confederate Congress. That the
partisan cry Of democratic econo-

Fl. r. STEVENS, Esq:
Dear Sir: When about SIX months
old Twas vaccinated. The parties who
were vaccinated from the same virus
died from the humor. The humor
spread over me to such an extent that |
was rolled in bran to prevent Inc from
scratching my person. The disease
finally settled in my head. l remained
in this condition about twenty years,
troubled all the time with sores breaking
in my head and discharging corrup-
ton from my ear. At this time asmall
kernel appeared on my neck, gradually
increasing in size until tumor formed
of such immense size L could see it by
turning my eyes downward. All this
time [ was taking various remedies for
my blood without any substantial bene-
fit.
/ then went to prominent physician
in Boston who, during his treatment of
six months, lanced the tumor eight
times, which cost me nearly $400. This
left me with rough, aggravated sore,
without at all diminishing the size of
the tumor, and in sickiy, feeble condi-
ton. consulted another physician in
Matte, who, after considerable time, sue
ceeded in healing the sore without re-
ducing the size. AT this point / COM
menced to use VEGETINE, through the
earnest persuation of a friend. After /
had taken this medicine about one week
| experienced wonderful sensations.
My whole body seemed to be undergo
ing radical change, until, finally, the
tumor broke and discharged frightful
quantities. From this time it decreased
in size until the bunch disappeared,
but my neck still bears the ugly scars
of the sore and lance. | am now
healthy and strong and able to work
every day.
l will also mention that 1 have been
an acute sufferer from inflammatory
rheumatism ever since 1 can remember,
until commencing the use of VEGErINE
when almost Immediately all rheumatic
pains ceased. This statement l volun-
teer for the purpose of benefiting other
suffering humanity, and you will con-
fer favor by giving it as much publici-
ty as thought proper.
Very gratefully,

The October ElectlOns-Repub-
licans EncOuraged-Dem
DIsheartened.
The October elections do not, we
admit, decide the Presidential con-
test, but we do claim that they speak
encouragingly for the Republicans.
The Congressional elections take
hold of National questions and poll
cy, and in these the Republicans, in
both Ohio and Indiana, have come
out of the fight gloriously victorious.
Thus, when the people come face to
face with the important and grave
issues of the Presidential campaign,
we may reasonably expect them to
render verdict in harmony with
their vote for Congressman. State
affairs may, perhaps without peril, be
entrusted to Democratic officials,
but not so do we read the signs of
the times in regard to National mat
ters. The Congressional elections
prove this, and when November
comes, we confidently look for a
complete and grand victory in be
half of peace, freedom, nationality
and fraternity.
Barnes, for Secretary of State, has
majority of over $500. On the
balance of the State ticket the Re-
publican majority will reach about
5000. The Republicans gain five
Congressman.
INDIANA.
This State elects the democratic
ticket by about 5000 majority. The
Legislature is Republican on joint
ballot by a small majority. The
Congressional delegation stands as
one of the substantial fruits of the
election, being a gain of four.
WILLIAMS majority over Harrison,
official, is 5,424.
WEST VIRGINIA.
The returns from this State indl-
cate democratic majority of about
5000.

Marching to the Centennial.

While champion pedestrians OF both
sexes are tramping their monotonous
rounds for pay and show, it is pleasing
to learn of one practical and sensible
proposition to exalt the walking mania
to a plane of usefulness. This PROPOSE
ton comes from the city of Green Bay,
Wis, or rather from the members of a
military company at that point-the
Green Bay Light Guards-who are dis
cussing the question of a regular march
to the coming Centennial at Philadel-
phia, distance of over 1000 miles. No
provision has been made by the Legis-
lature of Wisconsin for the transporta-
ton of the State militia to the great
show, and this is why the Green Bay
Light Guards have about resolved to be
soldiers in everything that the word i'm
plies marching to the desired point,
purchasing provisions and camping by
the way, as we'll as at the terminus of
their journey, just as the hardy soldiers
used to do one hundred years ago.
What better commemoration could there
be of Revolutionary prowess than this 2
What more fitting way to prove that the
physical strength of the fathers has been
transmitted to the sons2 None what
ever, and by all means let the Green
Bay Light Guards make their proposed
