National Coed will.

President Hayssis in Ohio on 3 tour
Of pleasure. AT different places be and
two Of his Cabinet, Postmaster General
Key and Attorney General Devens,
make little speeches TO the vast crowds
who gather to welcome them. These
addresses are intended to be non.partl-
san, and 90 far as we are capable Of
judging, we believe they express the
true sentiments Of the National Ad-
ministration.
II this Is the case there isa wide diff.
ference Of opinion between the Presi.
dent aud many Of his party. In his
speech at Marietta, Ohio, be INDUCED
in language that certainly does not suit
Ingersoll, Blaine, Morton, Wade &
Company. lie wants the whole Nation
TO be ia a state OF harmony and friend
ship he wants a citizen OF the South
TO be welcome at any place Ia the
North, and he wants citizens Of
the North and East to feel at ease in any
portion OF the South.
But the extremists Of hiSparty 90 not
act as If they desired this. Men who
continually charge that the South has
been acting and will in the future act
in bad faith, aud who make 1t the CHIEF
purpose Of their existence TO NEEDLE
with the local affairs OF the Southern
States, certainly 10 not wish the
Southern people to be treated as equals
This is the fact, These ex,
tremists are so embittered BY
their prejudices that they refuse to b
governed by the theory upon which
the National Government is founded
When the President was installed b.
found that he could not act In accort
with the Radicals in his own party
and be q just President Of the who'll
Union. He found that justice to til,
whole country could only conn
through kindness to all sections 0
the Union, and he boldly announced
this, and has, up TO this time, been con
sistent in carrying it out.
The Southern people will thrcw Il
obstacles in his way. They e~arnestl.
desire that Northern men shall feel a
home in the South. The South ha
millions OF acres of land, and she want
occupants for 1t. The easiest wa
to solve the negro question Is by ,h
aid Of immigration. II the South ca
have her lands settled Up by whit
people from the North, or from Europ
the negro ace will cease to be a trol
blesomo element in politics. Then v
say TO the President, and to his part
in the North, that IL the dream Of N,
lional good will Is not realized, II
fault will not lay at our doors.

A Phenomenal Negro.
Wilmington IN. CO. start

wilmington n vi StaI'l
There Is now In this city one OF the
most remarkable specimens Of human
ity that has been known to inhablt the
earth since the days Of Adam. He is
colored, aud goes by the name Of"Dr.
George Thomas" and seems TO have
literal control Of his entire physical ma.
ture, being able By the simple exercise
of his will, as It were to change ct
pleasure the location Of the machinery
Of muscle almost the consistency Of
iron, which BIO Is capable Of developing
to a remarkable degree. For In
stance, he takes q solid bar
of iron of about three inches In cir.
conference and some three or four
feet In length, holding Il in one hand,
bends 1t by striking 1t repeatedly
across his disengaged arm, the blows
being sufficiently vigorous to break the
limb Of any ordinary man, but which
do not seem TO have the slightest effect
upon his own, the muscles Of which
are as hard as the iron itself. He then
straighlens the bent bar In the same
manner. He asks you to feel the pulse
In his wrist, aud It beats with the same
regularity and power Of that OF an or.
binary mortal, but, by a sudden but al.
most imperceptible movement Of the
muscle of the arm, the p~ulsation appa.
rently ceases altogether, but is In reali.
~ removed from its original position.
BY the exertion Of the same power 1t il
then restored at pleasure 10 its proper
place. He can also remove bis ribs
from the side to the abdominal region,
where they can be distinctly felt, aud
return them to their proper place al
will while by the exercise Of the same
power the heart Is changed from the
left TO the right side ofthe body, Two
of our physicians, we learn, examined
this remarkable specimen Of humanity
and were astonished at the exiraordi
nary developments which resulted
! from o practical test OF the wonderful
powers of the man. One Of the physi,
! clans was asked 10 place his ear to thu
! region Of the heart, and ii
: bealings were regular and dis
Q tinctly noted, but suddenly Their
c was an entire cessation of III
$ ~throbbing, and on the instant his COM
) panion, who had his ear 10 the RICH
a side of the body, exclaimed that b
could then detect the beating Of hi
heart on that side.

HARVEST VERSE.

From the broad fields, their golden glory
shorn,
And sunny uplands Of their beauty reft,
Through the still sunlight Of the Autumn
morn,
And hedgerows, with their lingering
Jewels left
By tue brown river, through the leaiy
james,
Or to the fArmsteads move the loaded
wains.
The stalwart reaper bears his frightened
seythe,
Or tracks the course the great machine
has made,
And bonnie lass and lad sunburned and
1.-the,
Round whose straw hats woOdbine and
peoples fade,
Wake an the M ldow land with harvest
strains,
Clustering aud laughing round the loaded
wains.
'ris soft September natures harvest
yields,
But all through life our ripening fruit
we reap,
Now storing vlolets from sweet April
fields,
Now roses that bright July suushiues
steep,
Now garuering gay October's sober
gains,
Now Christmas hollies pile our loaded
wains.
All me! how fast the fair Spring Cowerl
die,
How summer blossoms perish at thu
touch,
And hope and love IN useless sympathy,
Weep for the faith that gave and lost 81
much
From half our sheaves drop GU! the colder
grains;
Small is our portion In the loaded wains.
Yet ere the mighty Reaper takes 1t all,
Fling ont the seed, and tend 1t rood b.
rood;
One ear iS' u.I, though hundreds round |
fall;
One acre mid q widowed upland good
Eternity will rear IN heavenly plains
The smallest treasure won from loade
waIns.

There is sOme little, (and we are re.
joiced to hear that there Is so little)
talk about some sort Of an independent
movement in this county. We cannot
see even q plausible reason for such .
movement. Our party, after Inviting
all worthy Of confidence to participate,
has nominated Q strong ticket, aud for
persons 10 announce themselves now
as Independent Democratic candidates
for official position, would DO only 10
invite public condemnation as nui-
sances. The county has had
enough excitement and strife over
her offices and her citizens will
certainly frOwn down any who
may wish to renew it. Democrats
who would undertake such q move
ment would not only be beaten, they
would lose their political reputation
and influence for the future. II is folly
for men who have developed any
strength 10 think Of SO desperate
course.

A Care for ReTnorrhOIds.

NICKsBUR0, sept. I, 1871.
Editor Herald.
see from your paper Of to-day that
you have given out TO the world q cure
for Rheumatism. That's right. Now
let me give the world, through your
paper, a curt for one Of the most pain
full and horrible diseases that our
Maker has afflicted mankind with,
namely, the hemorrhoids or piles.
For near thirty years I have been
scourged with that complaint, and OF
course have tried every remedy, as
well as those that were not remedies,
and after all the trials l found spirits
Of camphor a perfect relief; !. e. for
the outside piles with bleeding, hurt.
ing or itching piles, as l have had every
one Of them. Let the parts afflicted BIZ
washed, say every morning, with cold
water, whilst the piles are bad, and Of
they get better not 20 often. Their
pour the camphor in the hand, and ap
ply say twice thoroughly. The cam
phor causes some burning for a min
ate, and then has q pleasant, cool feel
ing and seems to entirely subdue al
feverishness and causes the piles t
contract aud entirely heal. Such /
my experience with spirits Of campho
for piles.
