After Years of Suffering.

MIS-. Elizabeth Mock, or Salem. N.
c.. writes under date of March Goth,
1878, that she suffered many years
with dyspepsia, complicated with
neuralgia. The pain was so severe
that she could not rest day or night.
Several physicians attended her with
out benefit, or even relief. She was
considered incurable. BY reading
the Peoples Common Sense Medical
Adviser. she learned that DIR. Pierre ,
OF Buffalo, n. Y, successfully pre-
scribeh his Golden Medical Discov-
ely in such cases. She commenced
its use. The pain gradually subsidized
and digestion became more natural.
She persevered. and in a few weeks
was perfectly AMI permanently re-
stored. Her case is a wonder to all
who know her. In the face of such
testimony, is It not foolish to con-
denim DIR. Pierce's Family Medicines.

nostrum has failed? Suppose you
have purchased shoddy goods OF one

Honorable Politics.


may lead to civil war, need not oc-
casion personal ill-will. But then
honorable politics imply a respect Of
treatment, a freedom from mis- rep
resentation, or taunt, or calumny, or
ridicule, or innuendo, which are sell
dom found. When a man charges an
opponent with unconstitutional con-
duet, or insists that he favOrs q
course which is prejudicial to the
public welfare. he merely states that
his opinions differ from those OF his
opponent, and, OF course, one opinion
may be as defensible as the other.
When Webster and Hayne differed as
to the nature OF the constitution, and
each maintained his view with argu-
ment, there was no reason whatever
that they should not eat together the
quiet chop, nor smoke the peaceful
pipe. But when one gentlemen as
serted that his opponent supported
system which was the sum Of human
vilIainies, demoralizing TO all who
were brought within lis sphere, and
making them man stealers, brutes
aud assassins, it was hard to separate
the abstract view from its concrete
application. 1t Is true that the ac-
cused might reply that the charge
sprang from ignorance, and could
not be accepted as a sincere asser-
ton; but, on the other hand, il a
man really believed that the person,
the associate, or the colleague of
whom he spoke was in fact chief
and murderer. he could not honest
ly treat him as il he were gentle
man. Ii he did not think so, he had
no right whatever to say SO, and he
showed himself to be no gentleman.
A member OF congress accepted an
invitation to the house Of colleague.
DO you think him an honest man?"
asked a fliend, mo, 1 think him a

Because he is my colleague" That
kind OF courtesy is corrupting in the
highest degree, because it makes a
certain position screen rascality.
All that blank scoundIels have to do,
then. is to secure such position
and they will be treated as honora
BILE men. But il this member OF con-
gress did wrong in socially counte-
nancing a man whom he believed TO
be a rascal, how could he have done
right in taking the quiet chop and
smoking the peaceful pipe with an
other man whom he believed TO be u
much greater rascal? When an es-
peclally brazen and outrageous Of
fender is arraigned before any kind
OF tribunal, there is always some one
who thinks to establish his own char
ity by saying that he who is without
sin may cast the first stone. As re-
rroof to consciousness, which was
the significance OF its first applica-
ton, this is wise and timely maxim.

1878 prices were CT per cent. lower

Sergeant Hvf.

During the siege OF Paris there was
nobody more popular, and afterward
there was nobody more unpopular
than Segenant Hoff. He, with his
own Land. slew twenty-seven Ger
mans during the first six weeks Of
the siege. His gallantry was reward
ed by praise lavished in his regimen

order OF tho day. and the Legion OF
Honor was bestowed on him. The
minister Of war told him it was very
important that dispatch should
reach Marshal Bazaine, and offered
him $4,000 10 undertake the mission.
1t was perilous. H. staked his head
on success. IL was easier for him
than for many Frenchrnen-he was
an Alsa ian AMI spoke German well.
He said to the minister OF war: Il

One or the most painful spectacles
IN Ohio to-day is the dislike almost
amounting to hatred with which some
of the Democratic sachems in the
State seem to regard our respectable
and intellectual Governor. In this
particular the Republicans appear in
q much more favorable light than do
their esteemed Democratic contem-
poraries. Among the Republicans
Governor Bishop Is esteemed and re-

and when the rat walks on to 1t to get the
cheese the valve goes down, drops the rat into
the water and moves back in position. A road Is
made from the rat-hOle to the top of the tub by
means OF pieces of board rubbed with cheese, so
as to make the walk the more attractive for the
rats In the course OF the night some ten, twen-
W, or even more rats, may go down, and, If the
island was not there, they would be found most

the strongest. After short time the fighting
is renewed, and the next weakest Is the victim;
