them urgently by the august name OF
the Almighty God not to reject the
aid which the church offers them at a
time when it is so necdful for them
to receive it. We ask them to draw
near in an amicable spirit OF concord
and peace to the source of authority
and safety, and to become united more
and more with the holy see in the
bonds Of a deep love and respect. May
it please God that they shall recognize
the truth of what We have said, and
be persuaded that the doctrine of Jesus
Christ, as st. Augustine says, tsif it be
observed is the greatest safety of the
country itself,' and that the public
peace and safety as we'll as their own
are contained in the security Of the
church and the obedience given to it.
May they devote their thoughts and
their cares to the relief of the evils
with which the church and its visible
head are afflicted, and may it be finally
brought about that the people whom
they lead, having entered on the ways
of peace and justice, may enjoy a happy
era of prosperity and tranquility.

The people throughout the South,
and right-thinking men throughout
the Union, will be rejoiced to learn
that, through a decision of the Court
of Appeals of Mississippi, ex-President
Jefferson Davis comes in possession of
a valuable property in our sister State.
Having filled one of the most conspic-
uous positions of the present genera
ton having reached the very height
of human greatness, and been covered
and crowned with honors, and possess
ing the love and admiration of man.
kind, Jefferson Davis has been, in his
old age, and until the decision referred
to, very poor. The people of Texas a
few years ago with one voice offered
him a splendid home in their midst,
and Il large sum had been raised to
purchase it. But the President of the
Confederacy would accept nothing; and
in a letter which showed to the people
of Texas how much he appreciated
their compliment he declined the offer.
The people of the South will be hap
pier from knowing that Jefferson
Davis, whom they so deeply reverence
and love, has been placed in circum-
stances which will afford him comfort
and dignified leisure during the re-
mainder of his life.-N. O. Democrat.

In an age of enlightment like the
present, the value of electricity, and of
compounds containing an electric prin-
ciple as remedial agents, is widely ap-
preciated, Foremost among the lat

and safety of its effects, and the rapid
ity of its action, is Thomas Electric

ternal remedy for coughs, colds, sore
throat, asthma, Group, and other affiic-
tions of the breathing organs; an in
valuable outward specific for lame
back, soreness aud contraction of the
muscles, and every variety of sore or
hurt; prompt source OF relief for
pain, and a medicine upon which the
public can also implicitly depend in
cases of rheumatism, neuralgia, piles
and kidney complaint, inflammatory
Affections, dysentery, and many other
ailments. Its persistent use eradicates
the most obstinate of the disorders to
which it is adapted. Physicians speak
of it in the highest terms. Moreover,

From Christian Union, Aug. %, TT
Ever since DR.. VIM. M. Giles, of
451 Sixth avenue, extended a frank
invitation to owners of lame horses to
bring their equine property round to
his place of business for free treat
ment, the corner of Twenty-seventh
street and Sixth avenue has come to
resemble horse fair. The Doctors
bold DEFIANCE, which if thus thrust
upon the curious attention of his
neighbors, is based on his earnest be-
lief in his IoDIDE AMMONIA LINIMENT,
which is now preferred to all others
by the chief stock raisers and sporting
men of this country.
A valuable horse of the writer's was
kicked Oh the hook. Swelling and
lameness ensued, rendering the ami
NAL nearly worthless. We were ad
vised to try GILES LINIMENT, and are
gratified to say it acted like a charm.
About two inches of bone came away,
the sore healed up, and the lameness
and swelling are fast disappearing.

On the evening of the 25th of Sep
tember, 1877, President d. A. Hins-
dale, of Hiram College, delivered a
lecture In the Town Hall at Hiram,
which was afterwards repeated in this
village, on the subject of President
Hayes Southern Policy" in which he
stated his thesis thus: President
Hayes Southern Policy is the PLAIN
meaning of the National Constitution
the plain duty of law-abiding, pa
triOtic President-and necessary con-
dition of peace and order in the South
ern States" From the day that this
policy was announced to the present
time it has encountered the most bit
ter opposition from that class of stall
warts in the Radical party whose only
hope of success depended upon flaunt-
ing the "bloody. shirt" and keeping
alive all the bitter passions and preju-
dices of the war, and they have at
times resorted to persuasion and at
others to denunciation to induce
Hayes TO reinstate the brutal bayonet-
rule of the Grant dynasty. just what
is the present statue OF Mr.. Hayes
Southern Policy it is difficulty to tell,
but it is hoped that nothing has oc-
Cured or win occur to induce him to
go back on "the plain meaning of the
Constitution" or.to a policy which is
ga necessary condition of peace and
order in the Southern States"
