Hon. Thos. A. Hendricks made /;
speech at indianapolis q few days ago
in which he urged tho Democrats to
prepare for the contest in 1880. He
said the only hopo Of relief lay with
the Democratic party that Grant
would be the Republican candidate for
the next Presidency, and his election
would insure a centralized government
that will continue to Cypress tho peo-
pie; that Democratic success is the
only means for the peoples relief, and
tho adoption OF liberal policies Of cur
rency and finance depended upon it's
success.

The Republicans Of Tennessee will
convene at Nashville on the ed and
nominate IA man for Governor. They
feel considerably encouraged Mt the
defeat Of the Democratic nominees in
Davidson and Shelby counties by the
Independents, and think that the split
IN the Democratic ranks on the quGs-
ton of finances will give them some
chance to elect Governor, We are
sorry to see .hls new party movement,
and fear that it will work to the detri-
mcnt Of Democracy in the coming
G~ubernaLorial campaign
The Republican party is looking TO
aud relying upon this movement as
the sole hope Of breaking into our
ranks, and it behooves us to be ON The
alert. No patriotic citizen can fail to
see that this is cmphatiCally the time
to hold fast to the Democratic party,
The man who wanders of after ST. angc
gods, after II long term Of faithful ser
vice. is evidently short sighted, He
will serve neither himself nor lis par
". Let no man throw away his bal
lot on Independcntism but let every
Democra: cling to the old organization
Democracy, and it will never be
regretted.

horse ran away, and Davenport jumped
out, breaking his leg below tho knee,
in such ~ way that 1t may have to he

Later, Mr.. Davenport died, and In

day, we find the following:
"rhe death of young Davenport, Of
Birmingham, Monday, who was so Sc
riously Injured In the ankle by runa-
way, last week, has east a gloom over
the whole community. He had been
i'm this vicinity some time, and was rec
Ognized as an energetic, industrious
young man. AS soon as his misf0rtunes
became known his case enlisted the
sympathy of all. "A strong opposition
to amputation was made, as it was
thought that he, being young and Wig
orous, could recover anu save his limb.
For "a time he seemed to bc doing well,
but symptoms Of blood poisoning de-

of his DEATH"

WHY is ii2

The truth of science and progressive
thought have always been compelled
to batter down the bulwarks Of preju-
dice and disbelief, or remain forever
unknown. Why is it that people are
SO reluctant to receive facts that relate
directly To the phenomena of their own
existence? Astronomers, upon dis
covering star, assign It q place ut
once, and 1t Is forever fixed. The rule
by which ~ mathematical problem Is
once solved becomes forever an axiom;
but no matter how clearly the prin-
ciples which govern health and sick
ness be demonstrated, some refuse TO
believe. DIR. Pierce's Family AIedi-
cines, which are now so generally used,
and deservedly popular, were, In their
early days, very reluctantly received
by the people. To-day, DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery has outrival-
cd the old-time sarsaparillas, his Pellets
are In general use in place of the coarse,
huge, drastic pills formerly SO much
employed, willie the sales of his DIR.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy and his Favor
ite Prescription are enormous. Where
the skin is sallow and covered with
blotches and pimples, or where there
are scrofulous swellings and affections,
a few bottles of his Golden Medical
Discovery will effect an entire cure. If
you feel dull, drowsy, debilitated, have
sallow color of skin, or yellowish-brown
spots OH face or body, frequent head
ache or dizziness, bad taste I'm mouth,
internal heat or chills alternated with
hot fiushes, low spirits and gloomy
forebodings, irregular appetite, and
tongue coated, you are suffering from
Torpid Liver, or "Buiottsncss." In
many cases of of"Liver Comptdi,sf' only
part Of these symptoms are experi-
enced. AS q remedy for all such cases,
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has no equal, as II effects perfect cures,
leaving the liver strengthened and
healthy. Debilitated females who have
undergone all tn tortur's of caustic and

weaknesses, can have guaranteed to
them prompt and positive relief by
using DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription;

gyman.
BY y. y. LACY.


Truth is true wisdom, and al! else beside
Twice better for You, had such been denied;
For dross In metal makes IL rough ard bad;
And to its worth q farthing docs not add.
When I'm delusions, mnddlsi is the mind,
To solid facts. man is both deaf and blind;
When on absurdity you base your views,
Your train OF tho ne'cr reaches many truths.
When DIR. Waits, two hundred years ago,
Tuned up his harp, TO sing OF pain and woe,
In his original hymn for Calvins creed,
The following lines are left for us to read:
"Thcre Is q never dying hell,
And never dying pains;
Where children must with demons dwell,
In darkness, fire and chains.
Have iaith the same In endless shame,
For he'll is cram d with 3e6ants damned,
without a day OF grace"
o
How differently we sing Of children here!
These little cherubs that we love so dear;
Which we 30 fondly pillow on the breast,
And love so deeply as they sink To rest.
A picture of sweet Innocence more mild,
Nor words can Tell, not like parents tear,
The innocence OF one so pure and dear.
To mediate upon the pain and strife,
These little ones must suffer here IN lie;
And fall at last the victim of the grave,
From which no mortal has the power TO save.
Who ever could with DR.. Watts agree,
Is q heinous brute of cruel barbarityi
And what supports him In this foul belief,
Supports monster, or the vilest thlei.
And yet, some sing these awful lines, to-day;
And some have made them read another way;
But never, TO you, did they socm to sound,
so bad before, ,as since I've penned them down.
