A Pennsylvania philosopher is of the
opinion that petroleum is the result Of
goldfish. Yes, Goldfish. These fish were
once plenty in the ocean which
covered the place where Pennsyl-
vania now is. They were caught ny a
sudden avalanche Of land, and the mill
ions OF decaying Goldfish caused the
petroleum Oil. This accounts for the
salt Wa.er found in OIL wells, being the
result Of salt Goldfish. 1t also accounts
Tor the resemblance of petroleum to cod
liver oil, and the number oil fish stories
told Of immense toHunes which were
never realized.

This is no quaek nostrum, but the
prescription Of regular and successful
city physician Of exte nsive practice and
reputation; the prescription has been
used for some yearsln our own families
with invariabIe success. ""+. .
During the late war it was given to
many OF our friends and volunteers in
the army, who were suffering from Diar-
rhea, caused by change OF water, un-
healthy and improperly cooked food,
and in every case it was used with the
best results. "
1t is scientific prescription prepared
with the greatest care; and we recon-
mend it with the utmost confidence as the
best remedy known for the diseases
mentioned. lt.... .f -.-!
Every family should have bottle OF
this Cordial ready for immediate use. A
single dose Of only few drops In the
early stage OF these diseases will often
check and cure the disorder. .s
Travellers, who are subject to so many
changes of water aud diet, will find thi
a valuable, article. The walls are small
and strong, and can be carried without

In a late number of the New York
Tribune Whitelaw Reid most truly says,
No man may aspire to high place In
politics nowadays save ut the risk of his
life" The preliminary skirnishes of the
national campaign fought by Mr.. Blaine
in the House OF Representatives, are
clearly the cause of his sudden illness.
The extraordinary mental and physical
strain to which he 'had been subjected in
the committee rooms and on the floor OF
the House, might well have brought
down the most vigorous man--then
while down with sickness, to have the
news Of defeat reach him from Cincin
natl must have been thundsrbolt 10 his
shattered health. Ave had q signal
example OF the horrors Of American po-
litical warfare four years ago, when
Horace Greedy was killed by it." High
strung and sensitive men cannot stand
aspersions on their good name, nor brook
defeat. Mr.. Blaine is to-day in almost
an identical position with Horace Greedy
four years ago, but we hope that this
great Statesman has physical strength
enough to live down his defeat Aman
of such iron will as Blaine has so often
proved himself, we feel will survive his
Ill fortune and again lead the Republican
side OF the House of Representatives.
