THE Dandelion and Mandrake Pills, made
hy +. X. Thompson, are a very mild tonic
and diuretic, stimulating the liver to Sc
crete the bile and acid which forms about
the torpid organ, passing from thence into
the blood affecting the heart, stomach and
digestive organs. We recommend taking
one pill every night for 20 or 80 days, as p
tonic and cleanser of the stomach. without
regard to moving the bowels, FOR when we
produce healthy action of the stomach,
we have overcome the great cause of chronic
constipation which afflicts so many middle
aged people, brought on by over-eating, or
improper and indigcstible food.

General Key at Niagara Falls, Tuesday, refer
ring to recent rumors of his candidacy for
governor of Tennessee, by the anti-inhation
Democrats and Republicans. He said, ''rhis
same idea has been advanced before, but |
never aspired to be governor of Tennessee"
As to being associated with Grant on the pres
idential ticket in 1880, his answer was that
they would have to find something a great
deal worse to say before making him very an
CRY. With reference to the Southern politics,
he said the tendency of the Democrats was an
exclusive legal tender currency and repudia-
ton. The greenback movement would make
no progress at the South outside of the De-
mocncy; that the success of the Southern
Democracy in national affairs would doubtless
result in the repeal of the resumption net and
general decentralization of the financial sit
uation. As to South Carolina, especially, he
looked for fair election, and generally
throughout the South, and for Republican
gains in congressman not anticipated at tho
North. Regarding the war claims he did not
think there would be greatly increased award.
