Among the many excellent Family Medi-
ciues which have from time 10 time appeared
before the public, there is not one so gener-
ally use III, SO simple, and so truly curative as
Ponds Extract. A glance over the long cata
losuc OF ills and diseases which it is reputed
to cure, VIII convince us, if any faith can be
placed in human testimony, that this is one OF
the rarest and most useful medicines, il not
the most truly valuable remedy ever made
known. For nearly thirty years it has been
in extensive use among the people and profess
sion; and though its claims have been thou
sand times subjected to searching scrutiny
yet in every instance these claims have been
tliumphantly vindicated. The people, t.
whom, from long use and experience it has be.
come indispensable, have universally given il
their approval; and the medical profession
though generally slow to admit new medi.

practice, have in thousands o. instances adopt.

THE CRUSHING COST OF CRED.

This is the bane Of the South and
West 1t has withered every depart
ment of enterprise, and Slapped the ener
gies of the laboring classes That we
do not produce enough of what we eat
and wear, and buy too much on credit,
is one OF the principal sources of our
continual poverty, and want of pros
perity.
In the South the all-cotton policy has
forced the planters to buy bacon, corn,
hay, flour implements, etc, at rninou@
rates, and when their crop is sold it is
shingled with such an enormous amount
of interest and charges, that the pro-
ducers return home without a cent in
their pockets to carry them through the
winter and coming spring. Middl men
and commission merchants have gobbled
up their substance, and fattened their
business at the growers expense 1t is
high time for the farming community to
arouse themselves from this fatal policy
More people are selling and buying

are producing more-selling their Gro, 8
ut better prices and at less cost, realiz;n {.
more Gle IT money; and if they continue
in the way they are going, few years
hence they will feel and see the results
of this wise policy
No farmer should accept, much less
ask, credit. 1t will fasten such costly
rate Of taxation on their labor that they
become slaves to those who give them
this credit.
Make what you produce; buy what
you need. If you cannot do that, then
don't buy what you think you need.
Money is becoming more plentiful il
centres of trade, and farmers may be en-
ticed to borrow money by mortgagins

ENOUGH OF FOoL-FooD.

Sentimental politics is fOolfcod in the
presence of the bread-and-meat needs of
the South. Our people are called upon
at this day to materialize politics, and
not longer pick meatless bones Tie
State-ri ghtsism that would refuse all aid
from the general government in hasten
ing the rejuvenation of the South is a
shriveled relic of an age of Theoretical
niceties in political eoothsaying. 1t is
not practical now. 1t is a mummy
having been enbalnied dy the wear and
tear of war AMI revolution. Currency
taxation, tariff, home rule, free schools
and federal aid in behalf Of internal i'm
provement, should be our political mea
and drink.

I Wish I Had Capital.

We have thousands of young men all
over the South, and especially in Missis-
sIppi, who are frequently heard to make
this remark-to whom the following good
advice given in the Boston 4gricuIturist
will be a God-send If they viii only act
upon 1.-THE writer seems to understand
the situation fully:

great, Swapping young man exclaIm the

tell him a piece of our mind so bad, and
we'll Just write to him. You want CAPT

you call capital, what would you do with
l.? You want capital2 Haven't ysu got
hands, and feet, and muscle, and bone,
and brains-and don't you call them
capital? What more did God give to
anybody? "Oh, but they are not money"
say your But they are more than
money and no one can take them from
you. Don't You know how to use them?
Ii you don't it is time you were learning.
Take bold Of the first plow, or hoe, or
jack-plane, or broad-axe that you can
find, and go to wark. Your capital will

there's the rub. You don't want to
work; you want money or credit that you
may play the gentlemen and speculate,
and end by playing the vagabond Or
you want plantation and negroes, that
you may hire an overseer to attend to
then, while you run over the country
and dissipate; or want to marry some
rich girl, who may be foolish enough to
marry you for your good looks, that she
may support you.

will soon make interest enough upon il

WHAT STANLEY MATTHEW'S IS AFTER.


Stanley Matthews, ever since his arri-
val Lere, three days ago, has bern dill
gently working for the organ z alton of
the mouse in the interest of the Admin
istFatioB. He has held repeated confer
ences with the Cabinet people since his
arrival here, and has spent a good deal
, of time with Southern men who have
not gone home. He has come as near
as man eou d in making direct over
lures and Propositions. He has con
versed with Southern paOple principa IL
upon the suljrct of Federal patronage
there without regard to TO their party be-
longings This and the catch penny hair
of large appropriations for internal in-
proVements have daily bren dangled be-
fore the hungry eyes of the Southern
people. lt does not appear, however,
that much of an effect has been ace IN
! plish d The day of tt AIDES appears to
| have h en- passed. The Southern men
appear TO have enou IN of the lIayes
promises, and congratulate them elves
that they have been able to obtain IA
much they have thus far, and do not
appear to care to oI.ter into further negO-
tiati0ns As one Southern member
rather iercely observed, "Nhen we once
again get cansrol of the Sonth it will be
united for hundreds of years to come,
| Thus united we will be Lble to dictate
cur own terms and shape he policy OF
the gOvernm mt to emit ourselves. SO you
see, South Carolina and Louisiana once
gained, trading and compromise will not
be go much of an object with us as they
were. - Washington Tel gram.

TAX of the National CAPITAL.

There was an informal conference at
the Ebbitt House to-day of Northern
and Southern Republicans who are dis
pleased with the Southern policy of the
Administration. Among those present
we're Gov. Chamberlain, Senator-elect
Corbin, Senator Patterson, Gov. Kellogg,
of Louisiana, and others. The opinion
was unanimously accepted that IT the
troops were Withdrawn from the support
of Gov. Chamberlain in South Carolina,
there would be on end of the Republi-
can party in the South, and that the idea
of the Administration that the white
vote there could be divided was simply
an idle one. They agreed that the South
hereafter would be unitedly Democratic,
and that it would be impossible to carry
Florida, Louisiana or South Carolina
for the Republicans in the future. In
the 9Hurse of the conversation, which
reac he'd high temper, some threats OF
exposure of certain dispatches and docu-
meuts in connection with the declaration
of the result in Louisiana and Florida
| for President were made. It was even
/ declared that if Packard were abandoned
10 Louisiana the most startling expos
ures of the means by which the Repub-
icans counted in Hayes there would be
| published. Whether this was intended
merely as an intimidation of the Presi-
dent in the interest of Packard, or really
means a grand explosion in the last
ditch; remains to be seen. It is very
evident that the carpst-bag element does
not propose to surrender without a
| spirited fight

Marriage Etiquette for Widows
and WidoWers

It is contrary to custom to invite
guests to the marriage of a widow. If a
widower marries young girl, the ETH
quette is the same as that of a first mar
riaze- a widow must marry in the
morning early, without show, and has
only her witnesses and those of her in
tended Her dress must be plain, of
quiet color; black, however, is not ad-
INVISIBLE. On leaving church the BRIDE
invites to breakfast the witnesses who
have formed the party, but no other
guests are invited to this rel past.
On the fifteenth day after the marriage
cards are sent bearing the new address
of the married pair. A widow never
makes wedding calls after remaIrying.
Those who receive the cards do the
visiting. There is month allowed f I
the return of the cards and the visits
When single lady marries, after hav,
ing passed the usual age for marriage, the
ceremony should be simple and unobtru
sive.

HAYES Between TWO FIRES

He is grit about by many difficulties.
He has Northern and Republican con-
stituency to satisfy as we'll as a Southern
people to pacify. He Is in a perilous
fight with Radicalism. Ultra Republi-
cans are anathem atizing his conciliatory
policy and defaming his name, while ex-
treme partisan Democrats re-echo the
tocsin of war upon his administration
and seem determined to hound him at
every step: These seemingly diverse,
but really harmonious fanatical rings of
the two national parties are eagerly
working to the same end. The Repub-
licans antagonizc Hayes because they
want to keep sectionalism as a plank in
their party policy; the Democrats OPP
pose because they fear his coneiliatory
course will disintegrate their organiz1
ton The effect of such a combination
is a blow at the present prosperity of the
country. Before assailing the President
we should give him full time to act OF
wait until he has proven himself false
to his promises If it shall appear in
the future that we have been deluded, il
will be time enough to expose his infamY
The President needs at this time the cor
dial endorsement of all patriotic citizens
irrespective of party. He has made
South Carolina free, and Louisiana may
soon be similarly favored. Let US moi
scorn the the tender Of profered friend
ship. We cannot afford to force Hayes
into the embrace of Blaine and his
allies,

A Sense of Weariness

Is often felt by persons who cannot locate any
particular disease. II they WORK, it becomes
labor; if they walk, they soon tire; mental eff
forts become a burden, and even joys are
dimmed by the shadow of this weakness which
is cast over their lives. Recourse is had some
times to stimulants Of a dangerous character.
The advice of physicians to refrain from active
labor produces no happy results. Why? The
system is debilitated and needs to be built up
properly. PERUVIAN SYRUP will do this very
thing. Like the electric current, it permeates
the entire system, and harmonizing with the
