The Great aII-HeaIin@ Agent.

Drs. Hoffman e Palmer and Mrs.
I. 5. Palmer, the celebrated lady
Electrician, whose in the
treatment of female complaints has
been unparalleled, are now at the
Ringo House, rooms 60 and 81, where
they have in operation their Famous
Nitalizing Electro Therapeutic Bath
for the successful treatment of all
chronic and diseases, and
the peculiar diseases of females. The
Drs. will give treatments free of
charge on Saturday and Monday,
June 28th and 3Oth, to all who favor
them with a call on those days. The
Drs'. charges for treatment is very
low, placing it within the reach of
both rich and poor. DR.. W. d..
Hoffman will give consultation and
advice free OF charge at all times.

city says of the bath:

Having tested and seen tested,
Hoffman q Palmer's Electro Thera-
peulic Apparatus, which has been on
exhibition in u city for two weeks,
1t affords me great pleasure ito testify
to its superlative merits as 4 most
convenient and practicable method
for the application of Electrical treat
ment and a most valuable adjunct in
the management of almost every form
OF chronic disease. The result of
two weeks treatment in some cases,
which, heretofore, have seemed to be
without the Therapeutic boundary,
have indeed, been remarkable. No
tably so, some old cases of Amauro-
sis, Himplegia, Chronic Rheumatism,
Chronic opthalmia, Dyspepsia, Hepa-
tetes and General Debility. Indeed.
SO thoroughly satisfied am I, of the
value of the appliance that 1 have
purchased one to use in connection
with my regular practice and can
heartily recommend it to my brother
practitioners as the long felt desid-
eratum in the treatment of a large
class of cases, which the general
practitioner has heretofore borne on
his mind from year to year as a hor-
rible nightmare. L also take great
pleasure in testifying TO the gentle
manly and professional character Of
DR.. Hoffman and the equally lady
like and professional character of his
ACCOMPLISHED co-laborer, Mrs. Pal
mer, both in our professional inter-
course and our business transactions.

JURY LAWS.
From seuafor Norgan's Speech.l

From Seustor Morgan's Speech.l
Mr.. Morgan believed a radical
change was necessary in the Federal
Jury laws. Among other things he
pointed out that there was no legal
remedy against an abuse by q court
officer of the power given him by a
rule of the court. The judge was
appointed under well defined law and
the jury should be selected under
laws carefully outlined, and not by
the the ungoverned choice of Il mar
shall. There seemed to be no reason
for making the jury box the only
place where political disability was to
be perpetuated. He had been OBJ
liged to try cases involving valuable
property before colored jurors who
could not read the papers in evil
dence, upon an understanding of
which depended their ability to rem
der q fair verdict. 1t, could not be
ignored that politics he'd crept into
judicial affairs. The Judiciary was
being diverted from its grand object
and converted into a political ma
chine. Judges have been appointed
according to popular belief because
of party services. The bench was in
danger of becoming a place of refuge
for political hacks. He read various
afidavits tending to show corrupt
practices in Alabama. 1t vas com
mon for Federal officials to be put on
United States %juries. He also adver-
ted to other abuses committed by
United States officials. People were
arrested and uot allowed to give
bonds so that the commissioners and
d deputy marshals might get their Jail
fees. Many of those arrested were
evidently so treated for no other pur-
pose than to enable officials to cheat
the government out Of fees.

Helmbold's Buchu has long been
known as one of the most valuable
medicines attainable in certain classes
of diseases, such as dyspepsia, chronic
rheumatism, dropsy, ]cutaneous atfec-
ton, and especially affections of the
urinary organs. AS a diuretic, it is
superior to ain Ost any other medi-
cine in use, and the great carc with
which it is prepared, the absolute
purity of the preparation, and the
diligence used in the selection of the
crude material, have made it known
far and wide as a reliable and effec-
tive preparation, and one that a
always be used with safety and bene-
fit. The great success of Helmbold's
Buchu has led to the production of
many spurious preparations, which
are made cheaply and placed upon
the market to be sold on the reputa-
ton acquired by Helmbold's original
preparation. Parties who desire a
really good medicine should be care
full and use H%elmbold's only.

A SAD ACCIDENT.

Charley Shell, youngest son of
Judge James Shell, residing about
three miles northwest OF this city, met
with a very serious injury on yester-
day evening, resulting from the ACCT
dental discharge Of a shotgun in his
own hands. Young Shell was out
hunting, and i'll crossing a prong of
Salt River on the railroad bridge,
stopped to rest, and was standing on
4 tie, tue butt ofhis gun resting on
the same, and his hand placed on the
end Of the barrel. The gun slipped
OFT the tie, the lock catching thereon,
causing the contents (thirty-siX
sliot) TO pass through the inner part
Of the hand and into the right side of
the face and head, infiicting an iniu-
ry from which he may not recover.
The attending physician thinks that
the right eye is entirely destroyed.
Charley IS a promising young man,
about Il years old and the favorite
in the family.

a good person should ever be cher
ished, and it is with pleasure l send
this humble tribute Of respect to one
who has but recently been q resident
of your town-Mys. Elizabeth Il.
Thompson.
The following items of her life
and death are given for the benefit
of her friends, of whom, we doubt
not, she has a large number where
she was SO long known in Mexico
and surrounding country.
She vas the daughter of. Henry
Marshall, and was born September
13, 1882, neal Independence, Ken.
lucky. Her mother died when she
was quite young and she was brought
up by her uncle, Thomas Stephens.
Thus she was early deprived of the
benefits of tender parental affection.
She was married to j. W. Thomp-
son January ID, 1854. After their
marriage they removed to Ohio, and
thence TO Audrain county, Missouri,
where they lived for more than twenty
years. Recently they removed to
Weatherford, Texas, where she has
endeared herself to many and rapidly
formed new friendships. But Death
claimed her for his prey and she de-
parted this life about IL O'Clock a.
m, June 10, 1879. Her death was
.Occasioned by strange affection; her
brain was so affected as to dethrone
her reason and she gradually declin-
ed in health till removed, as we be-
lieye, from the toll and afiiictions OF
life to q happier node of existence.
She protested religion and joined the
Methodist Episcopal Church South,
in 1859 and was a faithful member OF
the same for about twenty years; till
the time of her Gnath. During her
last sickness she could talk rational
ly but little, but we regard her life
of devotion to God and benevolencc
to mankind as sufficient evidence tu
form q fouEdati IN for our hope that
she has entered upon : happy ctermi-
ty. A few days before her death she
called for me, and when | approach
ed her bedside and asked what she
desired, she replied that she wished
to tell me goodbye. When 1 asked
where she was going she replied, u
am going home" Still later, when
she had wcll-nigh lost her speech.
she was heard by her husband t.
whisper, blessed be God" Hel
funeral was preached at the churcl
to-day, by Rev. VIM. Price, and ;
group Of friends followed her remain,
to the cemetery where they were
nicely inferred. She leaves q hus.
band and five children. The eldesr
of the children, Charley, of whom she
O tten spoke with a mothers tender
he IS, is still in Missouri. May til,
mo- hers v,rtues be perpetuated il
their W character. May the happy
smile ttdat wrcatled her cO%untenancC
in death ever be present to their vi
sion, causing them to cherish he
memory and her counsel.
My estimate Of her character may
pc atCOuIIeu 1oI "lCH L StaIe lila
for some time l have been an occu
pant OF her house and thus brough
into intimate association with her b,
which | learned something Of her rea
worth. The world is poorer whe,

a fine watch picked from his pocket,
and last Sunday night some one tn
tered his house, carrying off his fine

cash. The party that did the stealing
seems to have been very well acquain-

a Baltimore contemporary that
CAT the serenade to General Ew-
ing in Washington it allied forth the
strongest demonstrations of applause.
The transparency wherever it APP
peared was received with shouts that
rang to the skies, shouts %protracted,
reverberating, vehement. 1t is one
of those plain things, simple but
striking, that capture The feelings of
a multitude. The crowds that look
ed on that emblem Of liberty over
thrown, saw it only a determination OF
the Republicans to hold by force the
power which they got by fraud.
They cared not a whit for all the
sophisms and fine dis motions which
Mr.. Hayes has spun - cover up the
real purpose of the vctoes. The bal
lat-boX transiixed by "A bayonet typi-
ties the real issue in the coming cam

thrown into the background by the
retirement of the "arner Silver bill.

LIQUOR LICENSE NO MORE.

Now the license question is settled,
the saloon is shut and the ''expcri-
mcnt' in force, we think the best
thing every one can do is to join in
making the experiment" a success.
Although we were opposed to the
shutting Of the saloon, we are now
in favor of doing all we can to make
Il success of the undertaking. If we
all join in the work we may succeed.
In union there is strength" If we
find that the cure IS worse than the
disease, We have no doubt but what
the saloon will be re-opencd, but now
as the Ease stands, let us all work
together to cxtcrminate the sale OF
liquor in Mexico entirely. Very few
appreciate what Il task that is, but
much can be accomplished if the mat
ter is handled without gloves.

NO, 4 THANK YOU, SIR.
"Nicking" his Neighbour.

Last Sunday one of our prominent
merchants coming into church late
got into the "wrong pew" without
noticing his mistake. When the con-
tribution box came around he took
out his change, nudging the lady who
sat next to him and offering her a
nickel to put in the box, not noticing
but what the lady was his wife. The
lady was very much embarrassed, not
knowing what to think. She said, mo,
L thank you, sir, L have some change
of my own" This remark of course
brought the merchant to his senses,
for he knew his wife never refused
change on any occasion.
