Col, Robert Tyler has written long letter
in vindication of the administration OF his
father He says: "The truth is that, instead
of turning his back on the men who elected
him to the Vice Presidency these very per-
sons, for the most part abandoned him as
soon as it was ascertained that he could not
be persuaded or induced to violate the record
of his whole life by accepting National Bank
and protective tariff as the leading measures
of his administration.
The same old fight that runs all
through our history. The domination
of a national bank means moneyed
aristOcracy; protective tariff means
a manufacturing aristocracy. Both
are inimical to the prosperity of the
masses and the liberties of the coun
try.

H. NJ. Graham, formerly president of the
Waikiki bank, who was sentenced to ten
years in the pententiary for embezzleme nt,
has been pardoned by the president. The
very same paper that brings this news brings
also the news of the arrest of the president OF
the Union Banking company of Philadel phia
for embezzlement and conspiracy, and the
flight Of three other bank officials charged
with the same crime.
Greenbacks, they tell us, are not
safe, but bank notes are. Why? Be.
cause the government stands behind
the bank-note, as it does the green
back. Everything else about the bank
may be as rotten us punk.
Why should we pay the banker he.
cause the government endorses his
paper Would it not be more reason
able for the banker to pay the govern
lnent something for ts eIprivilege?

The Hon Randall Gibson speaks cheerfully
of the improved condition of affairs in Louisi-
ana. The State bonds have advanced since
Packard was overthrown from 60 to "a, and
he thinks the bonds will be held at par in
three weeks. Real estate has advanced 25 per
cent. A better feeling prevails among the
people, and many of them HAYES set to repair
ing their houses. Gen. Gibson says that
Louisiana is going to be the most prosperous
community in the South. The ietties are a
perfect success. The completion of the rail
road from New Orleans to Marshall is assured
by the tax of one half of one per cent, which
has been imposed by the city and the county
taxes The road will be finished in eighteen
months, and Gen. Gibson attaches the great
est Importance to its completion.

story of the fellow who was stamping
down powder into blast hole, when
the blast exploded, and, las Mark tells
it,) blew him up several hundred feet
in the air. He was gone a minute
and half, when he fell, standing, on
the very spot he rose from, with the
crow bar in his hand, and proceeded
with his work. The company locked
him for that minute and half tn at
he was absent from his work.
If Stebbins had told that story we
would have pronounced it lie, but in
Mark TWain's mouth it is simply re
markable.

Superstition.

A panacea, or "cure-all,'' is one of the
myths of the age Of superstition. DR.. R. v.
Pierce does not recommend any one or even
his whole list of standard remedies as ade-
quate to cure every disease. For severe lin
gering coughs, bronchial, throat, and chronic
lung diseases, he believes his Golden Medical
Discovery is unsurpassed, but it will not cure
you if your lungs are half wasted by con-
sumption. The Discovery not only exercises
potent infdence over pulmonary affections,
by reason of its pectoral properties, but poss-
esses also the most valuable Alternative, or
blood cleansing properties, and is therefore a
sovereign remedy in skin and blood affec-
tions. But while it will cure scrofulous and
other ulcers or sores, blotches, pimples, and
eruptions, it will not cure cancer, nor does its
manufacturer claim any such merit for it as
is done by proprietors Of other blood cleansing
medicines, who dishonesty try to deceive the
afflicted into the belief that their preparations
will accomplish impossibilities. By reason
of its real intrinsic merit it has sale sur
passing that of any other blood and cougf
medicine
