DON'T Give up.

What if you have tried different "put
up" medicines in vain. Have you not
been equally diappointed in some ply
sicians? Do not consider your case in
curable until you have made thorough
trial of DIR. Pierce's Family Medicines.
They are chemically pure, of uniform
strength, and have come into general use
by reason of superior merit. In cases of
general and nervous debility, consump-
ton, bronchitis, dyspepsia, oliver com.
plaint," scrofulous punches, ulcers, and
eruptions, the Golden Medical Discovery
is Il speedy and positive cure; while
thousands Of women, who had for years
been bed-riden, have, bv the use of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, been res
tored to perfect health. The introduce
tion of these two remedies has reyolutiOn-
lied the treatment Of chronic disease.
Patients are no longer depleted and sail
waited, as the tonic and alternative proper
tics of the Discovery long since demon
strated better way. Ladies need no
longer submit to the use of the caustic
and knife, as the Favoriic Prescription Is
guaranteed to cure the diseases and
Weaknesses peculiar to women. Mrs.
Samule NJ. Kcmper, of Galandet. Ind,
writes, Your Favoritc Prescription and
Pleasant Purgativc Pellets have saved
my life."

A SOUTHERN WILDERNEss.-A Nash.
vile correspondent gives.an interesting
description of the country, in Fentress
county, Tennessee, and Wayne county,
Kentucky, to which the revenue forces
have been dispatched to unea-th illicit
distillers. The wilds of. these counties
have never beer invaded. The county
is mountainous and rugged. The hills
abound in iron and coal in enormous
quantities, and are covered outwardly
with forests aud strange plants. The
way to the stills is over tortuous roads,
through winding paths that are seem
ingly nothing except hog-runs through
the wilderness. Over these roads, and
down deep declirities almost impossible,
it is customary with the distillers to
drive little shaggy mules, with which
they are all provided, laden with corn or
meal necessary for the manufacture Of
wildcat whisky" The stills are of the
rudest construction. The number Of
men employed III each still is from two
to six. even eight or ten. 1t WAS Fen
tress county which Mark Twain said
resembled Nazareth, insomuch that no.
thing good came out oft. The villages
are located on almost impossible coun-
try roads, far distant from railroads, and
average from fifty to two hundred
inhabitants. In the most active of them
the weekly mail is an event of great
note. The raiders will remain in Fen
tress, Wayne and adjoining counties for
a month or more as may be required.
They will have to encounter uuhearG OF
hardships.

The balance of the bonds which the

THE MAN on HORSEBACK.
Grant Said to be n Necessity to the Republic
can Party.
Speeial Dispatch to The N. Y. Herald.

Special Dispatch to the N. y. Herald.
A prominent Republican politician,
who has the means to be very thorough
ly informed of the thoughts and inten-
tions of the leading men of his party,
remarked, in conversation in Washington
on the 9th instant, that Gen. Grant will
be nominated in 1880, not only because
he can most easily carry the convention,
but because he is necessity to the party.
ave see very clearly that the next elec-
ton is very uncertain" he said; eve may
not be able to elect any man, but we cer-
tainly cannot elect any one except Grant.
He has the confidence of the wealthy and
property owning classes at the North,
and with him as candidate we can raise
funds more easily than with any one else.
Moreover, either Blaine or Conkling
would have to encounter the hostility or
lukewarm support of his rival, and we
cannot afford to risk anything. Another
consideration which has some weight is
that in case of contested election we
should be certain that Grant would not
suffer himself to be cheated. If we elect
him he will go into the White House.
Whether We can elect him is, in my
judgment, by no means certain. 1t de-
pends not at all on the Republicans but
on the Democrats, if they make fools Of
themselves, as l have little doubt they
will, we shall have the country with US
for Grant, because even the anti-Grant
men in our party will vote for him rather
than incur the risk of any wild Commu-
nistic regime which would make property
insecure and capital valueless, because it
would cripple enterprise. If the Demo-
Gratis insist on keeping the currency
questions alive and nominate man like
Thurman or Hendricks. you will see that
the property of the country will rally
solidIy for Grant, and you know even
Thurman admits that property and intel
ligence must rule and can carry elections.
The next election depends entirely on
the Democratic party, and the chances
of its acting so sensiblv and manifesting
so conservative spirit as to win the con-
fidence of the country you know as much
about as I. They may once more, as they
have so often done, give the country O
fright and disgust that will lead it rightly,
as I think, to fling itself into the arms of
Grant as a means of security, because
property means civilization. The DEM
ocrats have but few men who could carry
the country against Grant. 1 can think
of only three, Bayard, General Hancock
and Randolph, of New jersey. With
either of these they can win, in my judg-
ment, and 1 don't know of any one else
they have. These three have all clean
records on currency and all other ques-
tions. They are thoroughly respectable
and would have the confidence of the
country sufficiently to carry off from US
the considerable number of men who
strongly dislike Grant and who will not
vote for him if they can help it. But
the Democratic party is only mob; it
has not brains enough to 60 straight, and
that is our main chance"

A NOTABLE WEDDING.-rhe marriage
of Kate A. Smith, Mrs. A. T. Stewards
grandneice and reputed heir, to Rev.
Joseph B. Wetherill, an Episcopal cler-
gyman wealthy enough to need no pas
torate, at Trinity church was one of the
most imposing ceremonies that ever oc-
Cured in New York. 1t was a choral
wedding, with white-robed choristers to
do the singing and Rev. DR.. Dix and
Bishop Littlejohn to tie the nuptial knot,
in the presence fone ofthc most fashion
able audiences Trinity has ever held.
The altar was tastefully buried in flowers,
and the brides diamonds and pearls glis-
tened on her white satin costume. which
was itself enveloped by rich Brussels
lace. The bridal presents were numer-
Gus and costly, the most magnificent be-
ing the diamond necklace from Mrs. A.
T. Stewart, having fowerets and leaves
in silver, with petals of diamonds, and q
pendant of emeralds and diamonds in
the form of a dove. The bridal trous-
seau was one of the most costly the me-
tropolis has seen, comprising, among
other things, dozen elegant toilets, in
which each dress is accompanied by jew
elry, a bonnet and hat, dozen pairs of
kid gloves, silk hose and other articles to
match, besides dozed point lace hand
kerchiefs and as many morning robes of
the richest goods, trimmed with real lace.
The entire outfit is from a. 7. Stewart
g. Co., the designs being by Partisan ar
lists employed by the firm. After re-
ception at the house of Judge J. Law
renee Smith, the brides father the bri-
dll pair started on brief tour in this
country, and will sail in a fortnight to
pass the winter in Europe.

following explains itself, and is publish
ed to show how the British Lion has been
stirred up. 1t is very amusing:
To the Editor ofthc Mew York Herald:
1t appears, from the virulent attacks
made in a morning contemporary, tina
the proposal of Cyrus w. Field, to
erect monument to Major Andre, the
British spy, is not favcrably received
by the so-called American people. 1t is
strange that people such as the Amer
leans, who are the ritlratf and descen-
dants of the scum of Europe, should OBJ
ject to have monument raised to the
memory of a good Englishman who
used all his efforts to help the suprem-
acy of British power in this country.
And had the English been then sue
cessful, had they subjugated the col
onists, there would not be to-day such
villany and corruption in this upstart,
mushroom country. That trite old
saying, "put beggar on horseback"
&C., is applicable to the people of this
country. Having obtained their indie
pendence, they anger the gods by their
national impudence and pomposity.
Yours respectfully, A Britisher.

of shekels this band of Christian men

people of the saw-dust city to unusual effort,
to make it appear that any point in Mime

TAKING A TACK.

II Ne.v Financial Policy for Democrats
Washington Special to Chicago Tribune.1
It has been learned that prominent East.
ern Democrats, startled at the result of the
election in Ohio, and convinced that the
''Ohio Idea," unless it is repudiated, would
result in humiliation of the Democratic
party, have determined, at theIcoming Sos.
adopt new finanoial3policy. The outlines
of this policy are understood to be these:
First-The absolute retirement of the legal
tender greenback, on the ground that it is
unconstitutional, dangerous, dishonest, and
unnecessary.
Second-Free coinage Of silver and gold
as condition precedent to the retirement
of the legal tender greenbaok.
Third-Th modification Of the national
banking law by adopting the system of the
retirement of legal tender greenbacks, with
an amendment that bank reserves and re-
demption funds for bank notes shall be kept
only in gold and silver coin.
Fourth-The discontinuanoe of the issu-
ing of paper money and of paper certifi-
Gates in any form by the general govern
ment and by any bank, except those that
will redeem in coin.
Fifth-The maintenance of the present
standard of weight and fneness of the ex-
isting gold coin.
Si1th-The discontinuance of tho sinking
fund for five years, on account of the al
legged fact that enough has been set apart in
advance of the requirements of the statute
to fulfill the provisions of the sinking fund
for that period.
Seventh reduction of taxation.
