OMMUHICATE
From Arcadia to Athens.

The mere mention of the names at
the head OF these columns is sufficient
to call up pleasant recOllections in the
Errnd of the classical student, ut il is
not our purpose to speak of the Area
dia aud Athens OF ancient Greece, but
OF Arcadia and Athena, Tennessee. -
Ancient Arcadia is sometimes called
the SWITZERLAND of Greece, but Area
dia, Tenn with the surrounding
country, has a stronP claim To be en-
titled the Switzerland of America. IL
is noted for its good schO ii, for the
morality and enterprise Of its honest,
industrious citizens. and for its faith
ful temperance workers. 1t is con-
sidered a disgrace for an Arcadian TO
drink intoxicating liquors.
After a rest of a few hours at Bris-
toll, we found the train ready to bear
us down to New Market. where we
stopped two days to attend the closing
exercises of kIolstOn Seminary. Of

little "informal talk" at the L. :.
Court at Abingdon ?"
Respectful, but fatty, no! The
Editor of the News has at all times
and under all circumstances bellCv-
ed a convention necessary, aud, of
course, desirable, and he has had
no other talk at any time oil any
where. Brother Heermans, you
miss the mark and you talk
"mighty wanderin." Show your
colors! You pretended to favor a
convention when You regarded the
proposition as one likely to meet
with resistance, but as soon as Ger
tain Readjusters repel the imputa>
zion you seem to be in the woods
on that question. Let rs have a
little of your inwardness, good
friend. Are YOU in favor Of a con-
vention 2 We wish a categorical
answer, if we can get it, for you
arc a little shy when we wish a fin
ger on you.
Now, what do you mean when,
in one and tie same article, You
say the Readjusters are trying to
break up tie Conservative party,
ane yet that they held a ''pow-
wow"-an "informal talk" at the
q. S. Court, which had the effect
to steady "Brother Fowler" in his
support of a Convention Of the
Conservative party a consistent
and satisfactory answer to this
question will be in order.
We again state hal you ''honcst
men," to use your own modest APP
pellation, have the power to call a
Convention. You can do as you
please about it, but you shall call
one, or at yonr feet we shall lay
the charge of d~isloyalty to the
Conservative party.

We received from Mr.. John S.
Mooring, President Of the Thurman
Base Ball club, Emory, Va, a most
polite and gentlemanly letter, states
inc that the statement IN the Bristol
NeuS, last week, saying the Emory
club expressed dissatisfaction at their
treatment in Abingdon, while here,
was entirely untrue, but on the con-
trary found the young men of Abing-
don hOspltabIe. kind and attentive
and were pleased with their visit
Ab StuR9uud.
The Bristol News of May 81,
said nothing whatever of t h e
"treatment in Abingdon Of the
Thurmans. Here is what the
NEWS said on the subject alluded
to, and no more
Mr.. VIM. NJ. Burrow acted as UNI
pire, and while some harsh language
il said to have passed at the very hour
of victory and defeat it was doubtless
afGerward adjusted, 5 we heard a
leading member of the Thurman club
announce publicly i'm tie evening. on
Main St. that they had been fairly
beaten AT Bristol, but there wasdlssat-
I-faction expressed 10y them at the
result ct Abingdon.
1t will be seen we said nothing
as to any irhospitality, unkindncss,
Or inattcntion on the part of the
Abingdon club or any one else
We consider the members of the
Abingdon club gentlemen, and in
capable of anything of the sort
We simply quoted one of the
Humans as having said there
was Dissatisfaction expressed at the
RESULT. This reference to the
."result' was to the belief express
ed by the Humans that a few of
the decisions Of the Umpire were
erroneous, though they did not
say, and did not think the Umpire
erred in any way except in his
judgement. We are authorized
now by Mr.. Mooring himself to
state that with the above explana-
ton the statement in the News of
May 2lst was entirely correct.

COZ. COLYAR's SPEECH.

Col. \. S. Colyar, Of Tennessee,
spoke last Tuesday evening at
Conway Hall to quite a good an
dicncc OF very attentive listeners.
lie reviewed the last decade Of
federal legislation, showing it to
lave been so manipulated and
contracted by the moneyed rings
and power, as to PROSTATE the III
dustries, and destroy the property
values Of the country. The pO>
tential power Of money had been
augmented so that one dollar
should possess the purchasing pow
er of two or three. This he de-
mouaced very properly as theft, for
there can be no difference between
the THEFT Of one half Of ones props
erty, and the transferring Of one
half lis value to this moneyed
neighbor, 10y sach unfair means, as
the legislation alluded to. The
bonds wele originally payable in
~sreenbarks, and by an act OF Con-
grees they were made payable in
gold and silver. Then by another
act, which was wholly clandestine,
they made payable in gold
alone. Hence gold went ont Of
circulation and became all power
ful. By this process was the mons
ry Of the Northeast given double
its value, while Southern property
was almost destroyed In France
there were S4S of currency per
capita, in Germany $32, in the
L. S. Gully So He reviewed the
rise and progress Of this diaboli =
cal conspiracy against the business
nud labor Of the country, and adj
ministersd to the money rings-a
furious castigation for it. As to
the Tennessee State debt, he deo
clined to Indicate any definite and
detailed course TO be pursued
Such wqs the impoverished and
paralized condition of the people,
that it would be unsafe TO attempt
TO pay ANY Of it at present. He
did not deny the justice Of the
debt, but said the whole Of it must
be left to that period of the future,
when property and labor shall
have rcgaincd their lost power,
and the ability Of the people have
r viycG. Il would then he time
enough to discuss the amount to
be paid, at present it was unsafe
and lmpracticabIe to undertake to
pay any portion of it.
Col. Colyar's speech was n of
decided strength, and produced a
owerful, and very favorable i'm
Iressfon on his audience, which
was an intelligent, select and in
qniring one,

4 Campaign SIander.

When Dr. r. V. Pierce was q candidate
for State Senator, his political opponents
published pretended analysis ofhis popular
medicines, hoping thereby to prejudice the
people against him. His election by an
overwhelming majority severely rebukcd his
traducers, who sought to impcach his bust
ness integrity. No notice would have been
taken Of these campaign lies We're itnot that
some Of his enemies land every successful
business man has his full quota of cnvious
rivals are republshing these bogusanalyses.
Numerous and most absurd formulas have
been published, purporting to come from
high authority; and it is a significant fact
that no two have been at all alkc-concu-
sively proving the Dishonesty of their
authors.
The following is from the Bvfalo Com
nlCrciai, of Oct. 23d. 1877:
Hardly dozen years ago he Or. Pierce
came here, young and unknown man,
almost iriendless with no capital except his
own manhood, which, however, included
plenty Of brains and pluck, indomitable
perseverance, and inbom uprightnoss. Capt.
tai enough for any young man, in this pro-
gressive country, il only he has good health
and habits as well. He had all these great
natural advantages and one thing more,
an excellent education, lie had studied
medicine and been regularly licensed to
practice as n physician. But he was still a
student, fond Of investigation and expert
ment. He discovered, or invented, impor-
tant remedial agencies or compounds. Not
choosing TO wait wcarly for the sick and
suffering to find out (without any body TO
tell them) that he could do them good, he
advertised his medicines and invited the
whole profession, of every school, to examine
and pronounce judgment upon his formulas
He advertised literally, prolusely, but with
extraordinary shrcwdness, and with q
method which is in itselfa lesson TO all who
seek business by that perfectly Legitimate
means. His success has been something mar.
velous-so great indeed that it must he due
to intrinsic merit in the articles he sells more
even than 10 his unparalleled skill in the
use Of printers ink. The present writer
once asked distinguished dispensing drug
gist to explain the secret Of the almos, uuiyer
sal demand for DR.. Picrc's medicines. II,
said they were in fact genuine medicines
such compounds as every good physician
would prescribe for the diseases which they
were advertised To cure. of course, they
cost less than any druggist would charge fol
the same article supplied ON physiciant
prescription, and besides there was the doc
tors fee saved. Moreover, buyingthc drug
in such enormous quantities, having per
feet apparatus for purifying and compound
ing the mixture, he could not only get bet
ter articles in the first place. but present tn,
the medicine in better form and cheape
than the same mixture could possibly b,
obtained from any other source.
1t may be thought that all this haviul
reference To DR.. Pierce's private business ha
no point whatever when considered in con
nection with the proper qualifications Of
candidate for the Senate. Perhaps. But i
is the fashion now. andswill be for lortHgl

susprIse Party.

This, says the Slatington Nelcs, seems TO
be the season of surprise parties. The
pleasure of call from number of friends
is itself agreeable, and when it takes the
form of a surprise party, it contains double
pleasure, dclighting those who give and
those who receive. One of the most ex-
tensive surprise parties of the season visited
the residence of Rev. L. X, Derr, on Upper
Main street on Wednesday afternoon of last
week, composed of the following members
