rheumatism or Neuralgia

rheumatism or Neuralgia
We canot be too grateful for the discovery
of any remedy which will alleviate the suf-
ferings Of humanity, not only in the pangs OF
pain which the patient alone suffers, but In
the distress which it entails upon Others.
Most every sufferer from his own personal
experience is aware that the ordinarymethods
of treating Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sciatica
and kindred diseases by internal medicine,
is of no avail, and so fast is this impression
gaining hold upon intelligent patients that
they demand more potent remedy. The
discovery of LAwsoN's CURATIVE was a
priceless boon to thousands who have been
cured, and the thousands who are now being
relieved of their terrible agonies bear willing
testimony to its virtues.
Here we have CURATIVE agent which
though applied externally exerts powerful
and benehcent influence on the whole nerve
system--a remedy of indisputable efficacy
seldom failing to afford prompt relief in
cases Of acute or chronic pains in the nerves
or muscles.
For every kind OF rheumatism, for
Neuralgia IN every Form, for nervous or
Sick Headache, for Nervousness, for
Lame Back or Side, for Erysipelas, fer
Diphtheria and Sore Throat, for Chill
bIains, for Sprains Bruises, Cuts, Wounds,
for Burns and ScaIds, for Toothache In
fact for all Pains, InAammations and
SweIIings no remedy is known which pos
sesses the remarkable healing and soothing
qualities, which is so universal in its charac-
ter and scope or SO simple and safe in its
application. For these reasons LAwsoN's
CURATIVE should have place in every
family. 1t will there prove its value in in
Vulnerable cases to prevent lingering diseases
and should be kept at hand ready for instant
use.

With the exception of Senator
Thurman and Representations
all the Congressional members OF
the commission are natives OF the
States from which they now hold
seats, and Senator Thurman has
lived in Ohio since childhood, and
Representative Payne has lived in
the same State since he was young
man. The Judges of the Supreme
Court, members of the commission,
are all upwards of sixty years OF
age, their average age being nearly
sixty-six, and the average Of each
is ten years greater than that OF
their Congressional associates. It
is noteworthy, if in no sense a re-
markable fact, that the Senatorial
members of the commission are, on
an average, the juniors in years
of the members of the House.

Grant is reported as saying, when
he heard of Li.tlefield's testimony,
that all the troubles of his admin
istration could be laid at the door
of the Louisiana politicians, who
had lied to him and deceived him.
He also said that Wells ought to
be in the penitentiary. In meas
ure Grant is right. To be entirely
right he should add that he might
have avoided the troubles had he
resisted the Establishments of the
Louisiana politicians and that Wells
would have been in the penitentiary
long ago but for the support and
countenaDce of the President and
his party.

The Washington correspondent
of the New York Tribune says :
"Littlefield is one of the most dar-
ing perjurers ever examined before
committee of Congress, or j.
Madison Wells, the President OF
the Returning Board, is a scoun
drel." The two propositions have
no such inter-dependence as the
correspondence hints at. What
ever may be the fate of Littlefield
and the fact that Wells regarded
him SIS a suitable tool condemns
strongly-there can be no doubt
that Wells is scoundrel. Sheridan
gave him his deploma in that de-
partment years ago.

Kellogg's curiosity about the
manner in which he was to assist
in the transfer Of the Louisiana
vote when the Returning Board
got its pay is very affecting. 1t
recalls the heroic efforts which were
necessary in 1872 to induce him to
accept the results of Durelrs in
fanny. Kellogg really ought not to
stay in a sinful place like Wash
ington. He is too guileless. Some
rascal Of Louisiana clerk or can
vasser might coin story affecting
bis integrity. Home is the best
place for him.

The Vernon parish forgery, per-
petrated by Littlefeld in Louisiana
under the direction of Wells,
bothers the Republicans a great
deal. and no wonder. The actual
vote of the parish was for Hayes
and 647 for Tilden. In 1874 not a
single Republican vote was cast in
the parish, and in 1872, even &C
cording to the count of the custom
house Returning Board, only 30
Republican votes were cast in the
parish. 1t is claimed that the Dem
ocratic vote at the late election was
reduced 17S by the throwing out
of three polls for intimidation ; but
it must be apparent to the most
blindly partisan organ that throw
ing out Democratic votes can not
add to the number of Republican
votes cast. Now, although it is not
denied that there were only two
Republican votes in Vernon Parish,
the tabulated statement of the vote,
as rendered by the Wells gang,
makes it appear that there were
17S Republican and 400 Democratic
votes cast in the parish. The ag-
gregate number of votes is almost
precisely the same as that which
appeared by the lists so ostenta-
tiously exhibited to Sherman and
the simple Republican strangers
from the North and to the visiting
Democrats, and in those lists only
two Republican votes appeared to
have been cast. 1t is noncense to
affirm, therefore, that the throwing
out of the Democratic votes in
these precincts effected the trans
position and change which are
made in the general result by the
figures promulgated by the Re-
turning Board. There is no ny
pothesis upon which the change
can be accounted for except that
it was a acknowledgements
fraud. 1t was, perhaps, the most
rascally of all the rascally work
performed by the Louisiana Re-
turning Board.

pers Seized.

PARIS, September ll.-Gsmbetts and
Marat, publishers OF the RspUJIgus
Fraacaise, were to nave appeared tais
morning before the Tenth Chamber of
| Correctional Police, to answer resPec-
lively fer delivering and publishing the
formers little speech. Neither, how
ever, responded. Gambetta, in conse.
quence OF illness. His counsel lodged =
petition for the adjournment OF the trial
tor ore week which WAS refused. An
entry of default WAS thereupOn made
against Gambetta and Murat, and Gam
beta was condemned in detaut to three
months Imprisonment and fine OF
1000 francs The public were excluded
from the Palace of Justice where the
tribunal Is sitting.
The judgment against Gambetts is
based on his and Mursts admission, be-
tore the Judge De Instruction, that the
speech WAS published by his (Gambetta's : J
order. The judgment points out in de
tail the culpablity OF ten passages ir the
speech, and particularly declares that
Mac MahOn must submit - the decision
or resign. THIS WAS threat constituting
AN attack on the loyalty, honor, dignity,
and consequently on the person OF
the President OF the Republic. The
Judgment will be communicated TO Gam
BETA this evening. An appeal Will
be taken which will be heard September
10th. The police this evening seized
five of the principal Republican papers,
including the he Temps, La France and
lie Bsm P4hligue. 1t Is believed that the
seizure was made in consequence o: the
publication of the report of the trial or
Tor violent articles The PaysS, Bona
psrtist organ, WAS also seized. The
seizure, however, was only maintained
rs regards the lie Bien PaJiigue. \

PARIS, september 1.-THE sentence
against Gambetta and AhIrat concludes
as follows:
1t is ordered that judgment shall be ex
ecuted At once, notwithstanding opposi-
tion or appeal, according, however, to the
French code. This applies only to the
fne and Gambetta Is therefore no!
liable to immediate imprisonment.
Gambetta's object in allowing the
judgment to 90 by default evidently is
to delay the final judgement until after
the elections, when his privilege as
Deputy will protect him from arrest and
even according to the prevalent opinion
lead TO his liberation should he be IN
