The Only Way.


The only way to cure catarrh is by the use
of a cleansing and healing lotion, applied to
the infiamed and diseased membrane. SnufYs
and fumigators, while affording temporary re-
lief, irritate the affected parts and excite
more extended inflammation. Besides, no
outward applications alone can cure catarrh
The disease originates in vitiated state Of the
blood. and a thorough Alternative course Of
treatment is necessary to remove it from the
system. DR.. Sages Catarrh Remedy has long
been known as an efficient standard remedy for
this disease, but, to insure q radical and per-
manent cure, it should be used in conjunction
with DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
the best vegetable Alternative yet discovered.
The Discovery cleauses the vitiated blood
while the Catarrh Remedy allays the infamma-
ton and heals the deceased tissues.
Experience has conclusively shown that for
cutane Gus eruptions, open sores, leprous e1-
foliations and rheumatic complaints, Henry 8
Oarbolc Salve is more eficacious than any
ointment, lotion or embroc cation that has ever
been devised. Physicians admit this, and the
popular verdict confirms and ratifes the pro-
fessional dictum, and assigns this salve the

IL has not, on that account, escaped q gen.
eral reading. II contains information that
should be in possession of every voter in the
county since it exposes the falsity of the
principal objection against the proposed
road tax that is urged upon the country
voters. 1t shows that the tax will not be
confined to the property Of the county out
side of Cairo, but that all the property Of
the county must be subjected to it. The
city of Cairo will pay nearly three-fourths
of the whole amount, and the entire
amount collected will be expended outside
of the city limits, in the country. To such
country voters as object to the route Of the
road, it may be well to say, that it is the
best that could have been selected, since o
permanent, highwatcr road on any other,
is not within the reach of the peoples
means. From the point where it strikes
the Goose Island Jonesboro and Cairo road,
a direct wagon road to Cairo, is an impos-
sibihty; land by coming in along the shifting
and uncertain banks Of the river where a
permanent road cannot be maintained, the
purpose to form desirable connections with
the Pulaski county roads would be defeated,
without comforting any compensating ad,
vantages upon anybody. OF course every
dollar saved in building the road embark.
ment through the Cache bottoms, will add
dollar to the amount to be expended on
the roads and bridges farther out in the
county and as typographical survey,
made by Mr.. llealy, couple of years ago,
shows that the route selected along the Cache
banks is fully five feet higher than the IN.
tervening bottoms, the savings will count
thousands of dollars. Cairo has no object
above or beyond that of securing a
road that will furnish means Of communi.
cation With our country neighbors, that the
highest water will not interrupt. The city
is not able to build two such roads ocros,
Cache bottoms, and the country taxpayer.
would not join her in such project, if she
had 1t in view. Hence, looking to all the
connections to be made and all the public
needs and interests TO be subserved the

Bishop Simpson on Stimulants.

In his third Yale lecture Bishop
Simpson advises the young men who
are entering the ministry to avoid all
stimulants, and in connection with this
advice gives a bit of information which
is not generally known: 81 would
scarcely suppose that any one who feels
himself called to- the ministry will coun.
tenance their use; yet kind friends will
sometimes suggest that you are weak,
yonr nerves are tremulous, you have
been outin the cold, you need a stimu.
liant, and they will urge the taking Of o
little wine or brandy before preaching.
These friends will tell you that the most
distinguished ministers are in the habit
of using them; and I regret to say that
in many churches both wine and brandy
are thero kept in the 7estry for the use
of the minister. both before and after
preaching" He further says: 81 have
known some young ministers who have
used few drops of paregoric or opium
to give them strength for the pulpit.
am glad to say that I have known but
few such cases; but I must add that
these were led in the end to either phys.
ical or moral ruin" And in passing,
he fires shot at the clerical cigsr: 81
suppose there is sort of enjoyment
connected with it, for I have seen men
stiff an hour smoking, with their feet
upon a table, protesting to be studying
I have no doubt they had visions oi
greatness and glory; but prolonged OBJ
seryation shows that their lives usually
ended, with their cigar, in smoke"

1t was now Douglass turn to get mad,
and he improved the excellent oppor-
tunity offered. At first he turned white
and purple about the gills, and his ears
wagged in awful silence. Then he broke
forth:

The warder and grooms were on deck
in an instant, but a moment was lost in
running to the kitchen to get the key of
the portcullis from the hired girl. Lord
Marmion turned-well was his need
and dashed the rowels in his mule, that
shot like an arrow through the archwav,
and kicked the top of the portcullis as it
descended behind him. The mule along
the drawbridge clattered just as it trem-
bles on the rise. In the words OF an
unknown poet:
Not swifter does the swallow skim,
Along the smooth lakes level brlra.
When Lord Marmion reached his
band, where he knew he was compara-
lively safe, he turned around in the sad
die and yelled at the top of bis voice:
"I'n see you later-when 1 do," and
shook his gauntlet at the towers. De

A Locomotive In a Quicksand.

The Leayenworth (Kan. Times says:
Mention was made in the Times during
the summer of singular accident which
occurred on the Kansas Pacific road at
the bridge crossing Kiowa creek, forty
two miles east of Denver, in which an
engine attached to a freight train went
through the bridge into the bed of the
creek, instantly disappearing IN the
quicksand and battling all attempts to
recover it. For. the past six months the
search for the, missing locomotive has
been kept up, resulting in success two OF
three days ago, when it was found buried
forty feet deep in the quicksand.. The
sand had been removed fer greatlnum-
ber Of yards around the scene of the dis.

bid adieu to Douglass. "Though
something might be explained" he
said, "of cold respect to gentleman

in Tantallion's towers I stayed, part me

But Douglass was out OF sorts, and
taking another reef in the band of his
ulster, said:
"My dear sir, my imanors, halls,
towers, ct cetera and 80 forth, are open
at my sovereign's will to whoever he de-
sires to send hither, no matter how un-
worthy such one may be to stand in
the presence of the gentleman who now
has the floor" and he looked Marmion
straight in the eye.
"My castles are my kings alone.
he continued, "from cupola to the

The circular states that sit .is very
easy to account for the increase of ], sos
failures among 100000 business men
within year in which the circumstances
have been peculiarly influential in en-.
couraging casualties of this character"
These circumstances are stated at five In
number, as follows: 1878 is the fifth year
of depression unparalleled in extent,
character and duration; the weather Tor
the first quarter of the year was unsea-
sonable, and thus most unfayorable TOR
sales and collections; the discussions in
and out of Congress as to financial mat
ters and the tariff, impaired confidence
for the time beng; the notable decline
in the value of staples the world over;
the existence Of the epidemic in the
Sonth; and, finally, more influential
than all others, was the abolishing OF
the bankrupt law and the long delay
permitted to elapse before its repeal.
The circular then proceeds:
"In view, therefore, Of the peculiari-
ties of the year under review, it is sub
mitted that an increase of failures to the
extent of only /, ,606 in number, and forty
millions in liabilities, is even much less
than might have been anticipated. It is
significant that out of the six leading
circumstances above enumerated az con-
tributing to failures during the year,
five no longer exist. In the room Of
these disturbing elements other favor
able conditions are present, which ought,
in the immediate future, to so much i'm.
prove business as to make tho decrease
of failures in 1879 much more marked
than the increase in 1875"
