VEGE INE
PURIFIES THE BLOOD AND GIVES
 STRENGTH.

STRENGTH.
 Du QUoIN, ILL, Jan. 21, 1878. MT. H. K. Stevens =
 Dear Sir,-Your "vegetine" has been doing wonders for me. Have been having the Chiils and Fever, contracted i'll the swamps of the South, nothing giving me relief until I began the use of your vegetine, it giving me imme- diate relief. toning up my system, pu- rifying my blood, giving strength ; whereas all other medicines weakened me, and filled nh system with poison ; and I am satisfied that if families that live in the ague districts of the South and West would take Veg etine two or three times week, they would not be troubled with the "Chills" or the malignant Fevers that prevail at certain times of the year, save doe tors bills, and live to good old age.
 Respectfully yours,
 Agent Henderson's Looms, St. Louis,
 Mo.
 ALL DISEASES OF THE BLOOD. If Veg etine will relieve pain, cleanse, purify, and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to perfect health, after trying different physicians, many remedies, suffering for years, is it not conclusive proof, if you are sufferer, you can be cured? Why is this medicine perform Ing such great cures? It works in the blood, in the circulating fluid. It can truly be called the Great Blood Purifier. The great source of disease originates in the blood; and no medicine that does not act directly upon it, to purify and renovate, has any just claim upon pub lie attention.

FROM BOILING SPRINGS.
BOILING STRINGS, Popg C,

BOILING SPRINGS, PoPE Co.
 MR. EDITOR: All run wild up a here over the County Seat. Atkins bought out Liberty on credit and now will not pay. l don't know what the representative of Atkins will do unless he pays of these low falutin, rip roaring, ranting rotten rascals.
 Now the writer has not been bam- boozled and honey fuggIed in this and now, Mir Editor, what will we do away up here out in the weather? Shall we all unite and come together and tear down the walls of the old Court house and let all the people say Amen?
 This reminds me of two men some years ago who thought they had climbed to top mast and then wanted everybody to look up to them. One thought he merited it and the other thought he inherited it. But enough of this.
 Now, Mir. Editor, can you not help ' us to throw veil over the dark cloud that seems to be hanging over us; don't be afraid we will not un- derstand this up here.
 We have had a high school run ming some time, and all understand Latin and Greek. The school Is out now and the Professor gone to doze. The people all take me to be a non compas mentus, but if they keep their shirts on all right.
 Please publish and oblige your friend, JUDGE WoTEN.

The Uses of an Enemy.


 The Rev. Dr. Deems, in Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine gives the following advice, with the suhjoined reasons:
 Always keep an enemy in hand, a brisk, hearty, active enemy.
 Remark the uses of an enemy: l. The having one is proof that you are somebody. Men who never move never run against anything and when man is thoroughly dead and utterly buried, nothing ever runs against him.
 ?. An enemy is, to say the least, not partial to you. He will not flat ter. He will not exaggerate your virtues. Of course, if you have a fault you desire to know it; when you become aware that you have a fault you desire to correct it.
 3. In addition, your enemy keeps you wide awake. He does not let you sleep at your post. Your hater watches that you may not sleep. He stirs you up when you are mapping. He keeps your faculties on She alert. Even when he does nothing he will have put you in such a state of mind that you cannot tell what he will do next, and this mental qui vive must be worth something.
 He is a detective among your friends. You need to know who your friends are, and who are not, and who are your enemies. The last of these three will discriminate the other two. When your enemy goes to one who is neither friend nor cne- my, and assails you, the indifferent one will have nothing to say or chime in, hot because he is your enemy, but because it is so much easier to assent than to oppose, and especially than to refute. But your friend will take up cudgels for you on the in- stant
 The next best thing to having a hundred friends is to have one open enemy. But let us pray to be deliy- cred from secret foes.

THE U. s. SENAToRsHIP.

The proprietors of the Little i.Rock Democrat and Gazette have ex- changed the following banters upon the Senatorial race:
 The Democrat says that from q close inspection of the list of the newly elected members of the Legls- lature, it can not make out that ci- ther one of the candidates for United States Senator will get over forty votes on the first ballot We can make out MORE than that number that are certain to vote for R. w. Johnson on the first ballot.
 We will give forty dollars for ev. cry vote over forty votes received on esthe fist ballot for any one of the candidates for United States Senator if the Gazette will agree to give us forty dollars for every vote which Col. Johnson lacks of receiving forty. What do you say?--.Little Rock Dem ocrat.
 We are authorized by Maj. Sevier, proprietor of the Gazette, to say that he will accept the above proposition upon the following conditions:
 First, That each party put up a forfeit of $200, to be deposited i'm mediately in one of the banks of the city, as guarantee of prompt and z faithful compliance.
 v Second, That the winner shall do nate the amount won to the Ladies Benevolent Association, or some other charitable institution, in order to divest the transaction of it's other wise objectionable features.
 Now, let the Democrat either put up or shut up.-Gazette.

cross bones or by thick cords
stitched in, are also liked, as they
dispense with the pads worn by
ladies who have fat chests. The
steels or busks are also made more
flexible, and may be bent into a
circle without breaking. There are
also broad double steels for those
who like wide busks; these are very
light, yet flexible.
A brand of corsets is distin-
guished by having its steel covered
with kid, which makes them pleas
antly soft against the flesh, and
keeps them from being rusted with
moisture. Striped countille and the
plain Jean are materials most used
in white and pale grey shades;
there are also many high-colofed
blue and scarlet corsets sold.
The ventilating corsets are made
Of q lace-like check goods as thin
as canvas grenadine. This is cool
and pleasant for summer wear. The
upper and lower sections around
the bust and hips are made Of this
thin material, but the middle Sec
ton that passes around the most
tapering part Of the waist, and beart
all the strain of lacing, is Of thick
coutille.

A Hard Test.


Detroit Free Press.l
Ten or a dozen men were enjoy
ing the hot weather which baked
the shingles on a ferry dock saloon
yesterday, when a stranger stalked
in and inquired of the bartender:
Have you any mint?"
Yes, sir" was the reply. .
And you have sugar, lemons,
gin, brandy, and so forth?"
81 have"
The stranger turned around to
the crowd, noted the sudden in
crease of interest in each face, and
kindly said
Gentlemen, Pm going to treat
every liar in this room. Let the
liars-the monstrous liars-come
forward"
Not a foot moved.
Gentlemen" continued the
stranger, in a plaintiye tone, ''don't
be backward. JuIeps wait for all.
Every one of you who is known as
a liar will please stand up"
Not a man stood. The strangers
face betrayed keen disappointment,
as he ordered a rousing big "mint'i
for himself, and not a word was
spoken in the place while he slowly
slipped the cooling liquid through !
straw. When he had finished, he
wiped off his mouth aud said:
+" Well, every truth-teller in the
crowd will now stand up"
Each man rose up with the
promptness Of a soldier.
Sand sit down again" softly sale
the man, as he made for the door.
They would have sat down Oh
him, but great truth tellers are pool
runners.
