catarrh, my throat and lungs were badly affect
ed, and my system was rapidly breaking down,
| had uied many physicians and remedies with
out benefit Having seen good results follow
the use of DR., pierce's Medicines resolved to
give them thorough trial. In six months

higher in my estimation, than DR., Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and DR., Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. They not only saved my
life, but have made me hearty and strong
man,
Very truly yours,

Money and John sherman.

Money, and the past and future
financial policy Of the Government,
will be the great questions that will
swallow up all others in the elections
that are to take place this fall These
questions will stir up the country 10
the very bottom, and shake the nation
from centre to circumferen ce. Fraud
ulent John Sherman, who went to New
Orleans to corrupt returning boards Of
elections as agent for Hayes by prom
ises Of offices as compensation for SER
vices, will be a very insignificant char
acter compared with John Sherman of
the Committee Of Finance in the Sen
ate and Secretary Of the Treasury,
who engineered through Congress the
wicked and atrocious law changing the
greenback bonds into coin bonds, de-
monetizing silver, and pressing con-
traction and resumption to the pros
tration Of all the industries Of the ma
ton, the bankruptcy of hundreds of
thousands Of the most enterprising
men of the country, turning two mil
lions Of men, women and children out
Of employment, and filling the country
with naked .beggars and strolling
tramps. These are some Of the re
suits of the financial policy introduced
by Mr.. Sherman and fastened on the
country by him as the leading spirit of
the Republican party. The effect of
this policy has made wealthy and lux
urious miIlionaires Of the citizens of
the large cities who own our national
banks, while it Is starving the mechan-
ic, the laborer, and their wives and
children. The whole tenor of the leg
islation of Congress for the last ten
years has been to make few thousand
individuals individually wealthy, while
it has oppressed ffty-five millions of
people beyond endurance And what
is still worse, this legislation changing
the greenback bonds into coin bonds,
demonetizing silver and passing the
contraction and resumption bills, have
been engineered through Congress by
fraud, bribery and forgery. 1t is no
wonder, then, that the people who
have been thus oppressed should be-
come indignant and band themselves
together to remedy the great and in
tolerable wrongs that have been heapcd
upon them.-Ex.

HUMAN LIFE.
BY QUACK.
For the Bulletin.

For the Bulletin.
How swiftly glide our years. They fol-
low each other like the waves of the ocean.
Memory calls up persons we once knew.
They appear before our minds like the
phantoms of a night vision. Behold the
boy; rejoicing in the gaiety of his soul the
wheels Of time cannot roll too rapidly for
him. The light of hope dances in his eye;
the smile OF expectation plays upon his lip;
he looks forward to long years of Joy te
come; his spirit burns within him as he
hears of great men and mighty deed He
longs to be man. He longs to mount the
hill Of ambition; to tread the path of
at him again. He is now in the meridian
of life. Care has stamped wrinkles upon
his brow. Disappointment has dimmed
the lustre of his eye. Sorrow has thrown
its gloom upon his countenance. He looks
back to the waking dreams of his youth,
and signs for their futiIity. Each revolving
year seems to diminish something from his
little stock of happiness and he discovers
that the season of youth, when the pulse of
anticipation beats high is the only season
of enjoyment. He now commences descend
ing the hill; his form is bent and totters,
his footsteps move more rapidly toward the
tomb he looks back upon the past, his days
appear to have been few, and he confesses
that they were evil, the magnifcence of
the great is now vanity, the gayities of
youth folly. He considers how soon the
gloom of death must overshadow the one,
and disappointment end the other. The
world presents little to attract, and nothing
to delight him Still, however, he would
linger in it; still he would lengthen out his
days; though of beauties bloom, of fancys
flash, of musics breath, he is forced to say l
have no pleasure in them. a few more
years of infrmity, and pain must consign
him to the grave; yet this was the gay, the
generous, the high soulcd BOY, who beheld
his ascending path of Hfestrewed with flow
ers without a thorn. Such is human life
dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt re-
turn.

COlored Representation.

From the vicksburg, Mississippi Herald,l
The Democratic Congressional Con-
vention of this District meets here on
the 18th inst, for the purpose of nom
mating d candidate for Congress.
Now, it is certain to Gen. James r.
Chalmers will be renominated. His
services to the people, white and color
ed, of his District, entitle him TO re-
nomination at the hands of this Con
Yention. 1t is as to the personnel of
the Convention that [ write this arti-
Gle. Should it bemade up exclusively
Of white delegates? No; and why ?
Because it would be great injustice
to the thousands of Democratic color
ed voters in this District, and because
the col6red Democracy must now have
recognition as a powerful factor in the
Democratic party. The conservatism
Of the whites has been for some time
directly tending to this recognition of
the blacks, and now in this Conven-
ton the opportunity presents itself for
q elimination Of this tendency. The
success of our party now and hereaf-
ter, and the election of Gen. Chalm-
ers can best be secured by a fair and
honest political union between the two
race alements of eur party Republi-
canism, whether as an organized par
ty, or as the political creed of the col
ored men in this State is dead and it
is beyond the power of anyof its Apos-
/ ties to resurect it. Since the death of
this party in our State the blacks have
been divided politically. To-day you
find all Of them supporting Conserya-
tive Democracy. Our last city cleo
ton proves this conclusively. In that
election they voted to a man our tick
ct, and their own leaders did the same
thing Now, it is well known that in
the next Congressional race this Dis
! trict viii be stumped by reputable Re
| publicans from the North and West.
4 fearful effort will be made by the
Republican party to beat Chalmers !;
and should he be the nominee Of a
Convention composed entirely of
whites, these Republican speakers will
] use it to our disadvantage. We must
not give them this to harp upon. Let
/ the colured Democrats have fair
representation in the Convention, and
to this end let steps be taken at once
throughout the District to secure their
representation.
They are with us now politically,
and if we but act fairly they will al
ways remain with us. Now is not the
time for the party to make blunder.
A bIunder may be defeat. MAX.

Candidate.s Lnment.

The Editor of the Upton Record, vi o
was an unsuccessful candidate at the recent
election, thus expresses the feelings Of quite
a number Of his fellow sufferers. Hear
him:
Among many other merits that our sys-
TEN OF elections undoubtedly possesses, It
has the crowning merit of making even the
rudest man a very Chesterfield for the time
being; of making the stingy man generous,
the selfish man charitable. How many Of
the disappointed candidates viii lock back
with regret to the money which they have
been forced to subscribe to churches and to
the claims of charity which present them
selves almost daily? How many viii sigh
for the chewing tobacco which they have
bestowed upon the beloved voter? How
many will utter a curse when they think OF
the kisses-"Seals Of love but sealed in vain
that they have given to dirty faced be-
bies? We pause for a reply. Don't all
speak at once, gentlemen.

l tell you tonight, there IS more
love in the homes of the poor, than in
the palaces Of the rich. The meanest
hut, with love in it, is a palace fit for
the gods, and 4 place without love, is
a den only fit FIR wild beasts. That Is
my doctrine You cannot be so poor
that you cannot help somebody. Good
nature Is the cheapest commodity IN
the world; and love Is the only thing
that will pay ten per cent. to the Dor
rover and lender both. Do not tell
me that you have got to be rich. We
have false standard Of greatness in
the United States. We think, here,
that if a man is to be great that he
must be notorious; that he must be
wealthy, or that his name must be
upon the putrid lips Of Rumor. 1t IS
all mistake. 1t Is not necessary to
be rich, or to be great, or to be pow
erful, to be happy. The happy man
is the successful man. Happiness Is
the legal tender Of the soul. Joy is
wealth.
1t is not necessary to be great to be
happy; it is not necessary to be rich
to be just and generous, and to have a
heart filed with divine affection. No
matter whether you are rich or poor,
treat your wife as though she were a
splendid fower-and she Will fiji your
life with perfume and JOY. And do
you know, it is a splendid thing for me
to think that the woman you really
love will never grow old to you?
Through the wrinkles of time, through
the mask Of years, if you really love
her, you will always see the face you
loved and won. And a woman who
really loves a man, does not see that
he grows old he Is not decrepit to
her; he does not tremble; he Is not
old she always sees the same gallant
gentleman who won her hand and
heart. l like to think Of it in that
way; l like to think love Is eternal.
And to love in that way, and then go
down the hill Of life together, and as
you 90 down hear, perhaps, the laugh
ter Of grand children, and the birds
Of JOY and love sing once more in the
leafess branches of the tree of age,
l believe in the fre-side. [ believe in
the democracy Of home. l believe in
the republicanism Of the family. ]
believe in liberty, equality and love

Last Sunday week Rev. Messrs. Walker,
Cochrane aud DIR. Norman commenced a
union religious meeting at this place and
conducted it with the happiest result. The
people of the Valley exerted themselves to
make this meeting a success, and they have
the qualification to know their efforts have
not been in vain. They would meet in the
afternoon on the ground and have a service,
and then have supper, after which the night
service was held. They then proceeded
with nothing to mar the religious exercises
The meeting closed with thirty-five CONVEX
siOns, and all churches through their mem
bers largely benefited spiritually. This
whole neighboIhoJd felt the power of the
gospel sermons preached by the zeleus min
listers present Rev. d. c. Wells preached
last Sunday an greatly edited his hearers
We hope many other sections of the coun-
try will have just such a powerful revival
of religion as the Valley has enjoyed. 4
deep religious gathering is the very help
that the temperance movement needs to
fasten soberness upon the people. The we'll
known hospitality of the Valley was dis
penscd in free and unmeasured manner
