WE would like to know just what
soft of disclosures at Washington Con-
gresham Vance was afraid of when he
ran away. According to the latest re-
liable information he has gone into
hiding to escapesome apprehended ex
pIosion at the Capital. This is the
Congressman Vance whose principal
exploits during his short term OF Office
consisted in rummaging around the
Government printing Office, trying to
find a mares nest, and in noisily aid
ing the filibustering movement which
sought to defeat the electoral count.
He made strong run for the Guberna-
toriaf nomination in the Democratic
Convention at Columbus last summer.
Now that our Democratic friends see
what narrow escape they had, we
trust they will display more affection
for fheir Uncle Dick Bishop, who, with
all his faults, has never had to take to
the woods cleveland Herald.

Ancient Castles.

What appeals to the imaginative and
reflective powers of man more than the
ruins of some ancient ivy covered and
forsaken castle? Poets have invited
the muses. to help them weave into
verse the legenderic chivalry and bra
very that history accOrds to their for.
mer owners and occupants. Painters
have WED with each other in portray.
ing the grandeur of their solitude and
decay. But is not the premature and
social wreck of thousands of young
people, annually, theme that should
appeal much more keenly TO the re-
Elective faculties of man? DIR. r. V.
Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y, prescribes
his Golden Medical Discovery in such
affections with the most gratifying re.
suits. No known remedy equals OF
compares with it in purifying and en-.
riching the blood, strengthening and
invigCrating the nervous system. Il
the bowels be constipated, use his
Pleasant Purgative Pellets. In the
more complicated cases, DIR. Pierce
may be consulted by letter, and will
generally be able to prescribe medi-
cines especially prepared for each indi
vidual case that will speedily restore
nervous vigOr and perfect health.
The following parties, among tn ou
sands of others, have either been cured
by the use of DIR. Pierce's Medicines OF
