AN OLD REPUBLICAN.

Mr.. Eli Bloss, Of Salem, was in the
TELEGRAPH office last Saturday, and
inquired in relation to DR.. Eyerhart's
wool, as to whether it was washed, re-
ferrlng to an article in the TELEGRAPH
the week before. We could give MI
Bloss no information more than was in
the article. He said he could beat DR.
Eyerhart to great extent. At this
stage Of the conversation our attention
was called to something else and the
conversation was not renewed. We
hope DR.. Everhart will furnish the de-
sired information, and that Mr.. Bloss
will send us the number and kind Of
his sheep, the weight and condition of
their leeces, and such other informa-
ton of his flock and their wool as may
be interesting to the public.

The Boston people sojourning at the
suburb of Highland Lake Grove were
treated to sermon by Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher yesterday. The closing
paragraph was as follows:
The worst thing that could happen
to humanity would be to deprive us Of
the belief in immortality. Indeed, a
belief in a bad eternity is better than
none. Speaking to many of you for
the first and last time, I ask you not to
join any church or denomination, but
to live lives of righteousness with a
firm and constant purpose tostrive for
life higher up. | speak, not as a
minister, but as a man, and be3eech
you to live lives worthy of your man
hood, and the Great Master will rec
ognize and reward your efforts,

some critics have gone so far as to ques-

one about which the advocates of repeal
may have reasonably disagreed. In

The State Medical Association.


This Association meets at Aberdeen to
day 1t is a practical, as well as a
learned body of men, who are meeting
for deliberation the first time since the
of the past summer and fall. In that
desperate encounter manyof the bravest

Hughes, of Cage, of Hall, Of Whitehead
and others will be vacant. They fell at
the post of duty, their faces to heaven,
their feet to the foe. There will be other
members present who passed through the
ordeal, took the consequences and were
mercifully spared. All honor to these
heroes Of humanity-these leaders of a

gotten in the whrl of events, but their
deeds are as imperishable as the fame of
the heroes who guarded at the pass OF

antine of a stringent and effective
character. An appeal from a represen-
tative body of the very people who
suffered most, cannot be without avail.
The bill which was passed amounts tc
but little. 1t has chilled the people
with disappointment. They asked for

THERE seems to be a broad gulf be
tween Tennessee and the money dealers
who have invested in the bonds of the

abate their proposition for so cents on

large appropriations were voted for pros

of preventing the disease which had
