Dear Sir-I have heard from very many sources of
the great success of VEGETINE in Of Scrofula
Rheumatism, Kidney Complaint, Catarrh, and other
diseases of kindred nature. make no hesitation in
saying that ka0U VEGETINE to be the most reliable
remedy for Catarrh and General Debility.
My wife has been troubled with Catarrh for many
years, and at times very badly. She has thoroughly
tried every supposed remedy that could hear Of,
and with all this she has for several years been grad
ually growing worse and the discharge from the head
was excessive and very offensive.
She was in this condition when she commenced to
take VEGETINE; l could see that she was improving
on the second bottle She continued taking the VEG
until she had used from twelve to fifteen bot
ties am now happy in informing you and the pub
lie f you choose to make it public that she is en-
tirely cured, and VEGETINE accomplished the cure
after nothing else would. Hence feel justified In
saying that VEGETINE is the most reliable remedy,
and would advise all suffering humanity to try it, for
believe it to be good, honest vegetable medicine
and shall not hesitate to recommend it. am, &c.
respectfully, L. G. CARDELL,

Miss Clara L. Wells, formerly of Portland,
and now residing in Rome, where she is editing
paper, lie Cosmopolite," has made collec-
tion of photographs of the drawings of Elihu
Vedder, the famous artist, which she has pub
lished in book form, with short descriptive
poems of each picture. The volume is exquis-
itely gotten up, is very elegantly bound in
white parchment, and the photographs are ex-
ceedngly fine. The whole thing has been done
in Rome, but several copies have been sent to
this country, and are for sale at Doll and
Richards iu Boston, at ten dollars each. This
collection of pictures finely represents Mr..
Vedder's peculiar genius, and as an exponent
of his weird fancy and wonderful power of ex-
preston, is very valuable. A copy of the vol
ume may be seen at Hale's art gallery, on Fres
Street, where orders will be taken for it.

1ndiscretion.

1t is a thing generally conceded
that every one has the legitimate
right to maintain his peculiar ideas
of passing events, aud can advocate
them to his utmost ability and with
perfect freedom. provided always, he
does not thereby do a wrong to some
one else. More particularly is this
tie case in reference to tie varied in
trwsts of the different candidates, or
rather the friends of the different
candidates soon to claim tie notice
Of the American people. 1t is all
perfectly right that some should adj
yocate this man on account of the
great love they have for him, or for
some great public act he has done,
whether there is any selfish motive IN
it or not. 1t is all right again that
another should be put forward in
consequence of his known arallab'''
ty and his great popularity-we re
peat that this is proper and perfectly
fair, but when the particular friends
of this or that candidate, attempt to
build up the chances of their favo'ite
at the expense of a rival, then VIC
maintain that these enthusiastic
friends commit an indiscreti0n totally
objectionable, and we think we arc
drawing it rather mildly to call it 10y
no harsler name. Gov. Samuel j.
Tilden, of New York, is spoken of as
a favorable candidate, likely to re-
ceive the nomination at st. Louis fol

If there be a man in this or any
community Of our State, who has
even lingering respect for the ad.
miuistration Of the laws Of the State,
he should visit the Court. house where
the f,rsical sessions of our Courts are
usually held. For the past two weeks
the action of the intelligent (') jurors
have been simply disgraceful. In the
Grand Jury room one negro became
60 infamous in his conduct that the
Foreman was obliged to take him
before the Judge, who promptly fined
him. With tue Petit Jurors this con-
duct has been worse-every negro
charged with crime has been acquitted
IL the .face ofthe most palpable evidence.
We mention this, not as piece of
news, for the experience Of every one,
since this Jury system has been foist-
ed upon the people has given them
ample illustration and full knowledge
of what VIC complain. But We do
say that society cannot, will not sub
nit to this much longer. It is no.
toriOus fact that negro hog, COW or
chicken thief cannot be convicted
that has been demonstrated within
the past two weeks. The Jnries are
packed with negroes, and they viii

with them.
We venture to predict that before

Down Goes Another Radical

a bill, and Judge w Breda is in the

manipulate f'r the glory and good of

these: Some time since one Robert

and upon an examination Of the facts

owed for supplies, provided he would
deposit the money with him-Braxton
and his bondsman called upon the
Sheriff, gave the bond as required by
law and demanded the money deposit
ted with Brcda, with a tender Of the
receipt given him. BREDA DID NOT
COME TO TINE, he did not have the
money, has not had it since, and the
matter having been placed before thu

found against this Iuminary for en-

For two years past the public mind

the habit of Twitchcl and his array,
to bring to view some manifestation
Of the blood. thirsty vinaictivcness OF
the white people Of Red River parish.

sympathy for himself, and cores

that might have innred to the benefit
Of all the Carpet-baggers and thieves

Twitchel in particular. But alas
for human greatness, ambition will
over-Ieap itself. After the last shoot

Twitchel would not let we'll enough

This, it seems, did not suit the

not wanted by Mr.. Twitclef, and they
were not received with that manifes-

would have been presumed to elicit.
