l would much rather see Jefferson Davis in the
Presidential chair at Washington than eitherJim
Blaine, Jack Sherman, Zach Chacdler or the
dumb man, Grant, for am well persuaded that
he would administer government affairs with
more patriotism, honesty and honor than either
of the four persons named above, and, therefore.
l nominate him for the next President. Very
respectfully yours, ETC., an old citizen, but no

Enjoy Life.

What a truly beautiful world we live
in! Nature gives up grandeur of
mountains, glens and oceans, and thous-
ands of means for enjoyment. We can
desire no better when in perfect health;
but how often do the majority of people
feel like giving it up disheartened, dis
couraged aud worried out with disease,
when there is no occasion for this feel
ing, as every sufferer can easily obtain
satisfactory proof that Green's August
Flower will make them as free from
disease as when born. Dyspepsia and
liver complaint is the direct cause Of
seventy-ive per cent of such maladies
as biliousness, Indigestion, sick head
ache, costiveness, nervous prostration,
dizziness of the head, palpitation of the
heart, and other distressing symptoms
Three doses of August Flower will
prove its wonderful effect. Sample
bottles, 10 cents. Try it.

The evidence in the case of the People
We. DIR. Silverthorn, who is on trial in
Shasta, California, for the murder of
his daughters infant child by drowning
it in the Pitt River, has just been
closed, and the jury were put in charge
of the Sheriff to be conducted to the
acene Of the murder, some twenty five
miles distant. The case against the
prisoner is strong one. The defence
failed to put the Doctors wife and
daughter ON the stand to testify,
although all were present at the time
OF the commission OF the crime. Evil
dence was introduced that he threw the
child into the river by persons who saw
him do it, and the body of the infant
was recovered and examined by physi-
Clans.

The Black Death.

The black death, which has again
appeared in some parts of Russia,
has proved very destructive, and
caused the greatest alarm. This is
the same disease which, in the four
teenth century, desolated the globe,
and gets its name from the black
spots, symptomatic Of a putrid de
composition, that show themselves
at one Of its stages on the skin Of the
sufferer. 1t is thought to have had
its origin in China in 1888, some fif,
teen years before its outbreak in Eu.

while droughti famines, foods, earth.
quakes that swallow towns and

During the same period Europe had
as many abnormal conditions as the
East The order Of nature appeared
to be reversed. The seasons at vari.
Gus times were reversed; thunder.
storms were frequent in mid-winter,
and volcanoes, long considered ex.

of the earth; accompanied by decom.
