I'm time for fight In November. In circulars from
the National headquarters, in articles in the New

and cultivated I'm Tennessee, until many Radi-

Democratic split I'm the August contest To this end
the Radicals In Tennessee have been ordered to af-
fiate with Independent. National or any other new
party movement that promises to dislntegrate the

RIVERSIDE, N. b., July 31.-The Hanlon-
Ross boat-race cams off to-day, resulting in

At Other Points.

In the city the Nationals used every effort
10 get their followers to turn out en- maSse,
but the WORKOUT colored man, the disap-
pointed workingman, and the disguised citi-
zen could not summon courage to swallow
any more National calomel as gwen by their
doctors in the past three weeks. The can
didates of that ticket are fatigued, disheart-
ened and, in fact, routed.

myths Are B0e Symbols - Truth
As the scholar sees in the vain but beautiful
mythologies Of the ancients the embodied ex'
pressions Of the hungry human soul, bli1dly
cropping after the Infinite, 90 the physic,s1
sees in that popular myth of the si1beenth
century tue fountain Of perpetual health .nd
youth-an expression of the longings Of sui.
fering humanity for q remedy that should for
ever prevent the incursion Of disease. The
wilds Of Europe were ransacked for this won
derful fountain, and Ponce de Leon sought for
it In the cypress-ewamps and tangled ever
searched for it everywhere and anywhere but
where It really is-in the human body itseH.
The blood is the real fountain Of perpetual
health and youth. When this source Is cor.
rupted, the painful and sorrow- producing ef-
fects are visiLle In many shapes. The multi
farious forms in which it manifests itself
would form subjects upon which 1 might write
volumes But as all the varied forms Of dis
ease which depend upon bad blood are cured,
or best treated, by such medicines as take up
from this fluid and excrete from the system
the noXious elements, it is not OF practical i'm.
portance that should describe each. For in
stance, medical authors describe about fifty va
rieties of skin disease. but as they all require
for their cure very similar treatment, It 10 Of
no practical utility to know Just what name to
apply to q certain form Of skin disease, so you
know how best to cure it. Then again, might
90 on and describe various kinds of scrofulOus
sores, fever sores, white swellings, enlarged
glands, and ulcers of varying appearance;
might describe how virulent poison may show
itself in various forms of eruptions, ulcers,
sore throat, bony tumors, etc. ; but as all these
various-appearing manifestations of bad blood
are cured by uniform means, deem such q
course unnecessary. Thoroughly cleanse the
blood. which IL the great fountain Of life, and
good digestion, fair skin, buoyant spirits,
vital strength and s0undness of constitution,
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Purga-
tive Pellets are prominently the articles
needed. They are warranted to cure letter,
salt-rheum, scald-head, St. Anthony's fire,
rose rash or erysipelas, ring-worms, pimples,
blotches, spots, eruptions, pustules, boiis, car
lous sores and swellings, fever sores, white
swellings, tumors, old sbres or swellings, af-
fections Of the skin, throat and bones, and
ulcers of the liver, stomach, kidneys and lungs

murmured into the mouthpiece, and its
alphabet pricked ont BY the action Of
the steel point. The cylinder was then
reset, and the crank turned, with the
following result:
Rub dub dub

And who do You think was there!
The butcher, the baker,
The candiestick maker,
They ali Jumped out Of rotten potato.
The instrument is 90 simple in its con-
struction, and its workings so easily I'M
derstood, that one wonders why it was
never before discovered. There is no
electricity about It. It can be carried
around under xmxuAS xrm, ind itsmst
chinery IA not aSfffieth part as intricate
as that of sewing.machine. 1t records
all sounds and noises. The Professor
blew in it at intervals, and the mstrix
recorded the sound and returned it. He
whistled an air from the Grande Ouch
esse, and back it came as clear as fife,
and in perfect time. He rang . small
tJeli IN the funnel. Ihevibrati0nswefe
recorded, and, OF resting the cylinder,
soft and mellow! Mr.. Edison coughed,
sneezed and laughed at the mouthpieeA
and the matrices returned tho nof1es
true as a die. But, most remarkable,
the instrument sent back the
voices s0f two men At t1es same time.
To Guatrste The profssAes, in q deep,
bass voice, recited in the motuhpiece the
first verse of Ringen on the. Rhine. A
matrix Was obtained, the machine reset,
the funnel placed in position and the
crank turned. The words came out as
though some tragedian was trying to
affect an audience 10 tears.
The possibilities and capabilities of
this remarkable instrument are wonder
full. Dolls and toy dogs can be made to
recite nursery ballads, and wax figures
of notabilities can use the voice and
language of their originals. A promi-
nent Snowman has already taken steps
towards the formation of a museum of
wax figures similar to Madame Tus:
saud' 3 n London. All the figures are
to speak. Matrices of the voice. and
words, of a gentleman whose limitations
of Edwin Forest are astonishing are. to
be secured and placed in the breast Of
the great tragedian: The voice and
outward appearance of Mr.. Forest are
to be perfectly copied. = a ii'A

Little Miss Flaherty and Her Rat.

For the past two or three weeks q
Bloomington family by the name OF
Flaherty have noticed that the young
daughter, about Z years old, has each
day stolen into the back yard with
pieces of bread, meat and whatever she
could lay her hands on in the shape of
food. When questioned she invariably
answered that she fed her kitty with the
food. Nothing was thought of this, the
mother supposing that her child had
made pet of some stray cat. But on
Monday the action of the little girl was
fully explained. About the middle of
the afternoon she went ont with her ac-
customed supply of food, but shortly
returned with an enormous rat in her
arms. The parents Of the child were
both absent, an eighteen year-old sister
and an eleven year-old son only being
at hons. Like most of young Ia
dies of the present day, the sister lost
all control of herself, and, jumping
upon the table commenced a
series Of hysterical cries. The bro
ther grasped his young sister, who
1t this time had dropped her pet, threw
her upon the bed and then went for the
rat. He inaugurated the contest by
trying to kick the rat to death. But the
animal showed fight and was much too
active for the boy, grasping him by the
pants number If times, but fortunately
not being able to, fasten his teeth into
the legs of the boy. Finally . poker
was secured, and well directed blow
the rat. II was but the WORK
