Druggist and Physician.

A physician, complaining bitterly about
dull times, went to his druggist to find out
the reason why, at this season Of the year,
his practice was not SO extensive as form
erly; also, to fiud out what Inducements
mis- brother medicos offered to attract away
bis patients. He was startled when bis
druggist answered as follows: Doctor,
coughs and colds are very prevalent, but
every one is purchasing HALE's HONEY OF
HoREHoUND AND TAR, and RECEIVERS SO
rapidly that there is no necessity for calling
in physician. Again, the reason that DR..
F., on til Rtreet, is having so many pa.
tients is owing to the frankness he adopted
ip prescribing in every case of coughs
colds, ETC., bottle of HALE's HONEY OF
FOREGROUND AND TAR, and finding it sue,
cessful, be has concluded in future
that all his patients, when troubled
with any disease of the lungs, shall imme-
diately commence taking HALE's HONEY
| OF BOREHOUND AND TAR.
| The druggists advice was snapped, and
the almost discouraged physician now is
considered a successful practitioner. His
claims are based upon tho virtues of the
medicine be adopts. which in all cases i:

Beautiful Hair.

FROM J. A. TYNEs, A WELL KNOWN
CITIZEN OF WILSON, N, C.-My wife had
suffered for ten or twelve years with a
kind of dry letter, which kept the scalp
covered with dandruf, and caused her
hair to fall out and get very thin and
turned grey, but after using London
Hair Color Restorer," the letter was
cured and the grey hair restored to its
natural color, the hair stopped falling
out and is growing beautifully. BY
telling of the effect it had on the head
of my wife have induced a number
to try it, and want you to send me a
dozen bottles by express. l enclose
postoffice order for S8 to pay for it.

spise. Indeed, in this section of the state,
we know it is not so. In the ranks of the
greenback party Of this section are found
good and true men. men who talk as they
believe; men who tare an honor 10 any
party. And many of these men have
left the republican party forever.
Whatever the leaders OF the party
in the state may be, these men are
sincere; and when they become thoroughly
convinced, as they soon must be, that the
republican party cannot be driven from
power by the seperate action of the parties
| in opposition to it, they will take the only
course left open to them. and coalesce with
the democratic party. Indeed, many Of
the best thinkers-the leading men of the
party in this section, are willing to do sc
to-day. We know this to be the case
There can be but two great, sol
id, compact political parties IN this coun
try at one time. In times of great excite
ment, one or the other of the two parties
will attract almost every voting unit AnC
the natural haven for all those who have
broken away from the party in power Ii
the democratic party. The third party
movement, in this part of the state, vii
be an ultimate damage to the republican
party.-E2gin Leader.

Obituary.

In Washington, D. G., in the north wing
Of the capitol, at twelve o'clock, high noon
of March 4, 1879, after lingering illness,
the Republican Senate breathed its last.
Raised in corruption, it early absorbed IN
to its system the foulest of foul diseases
that have eaten the vitals Of the poor SUI
ferer, until all that remained of it was but
a shell. It's many friends wrapped it about
in linen and fine raiment, fed it upon the
richest and most select food, bolstered its
constitution with every formule known to
the Republican pharmacop2-but alas IN
vain. The nurses refused to longer
attend the decaying body; the
people that had given it birth
denied the right OF their offspring
to retain life after they had demanded its
deceass; but the poor decrepit body clurg
tenaciously to its foul existence, until nc
longer able to support the opprobriums Of
an outraged country the whited. sepulchrC
gave up the ghost, and expired amidst the
agony and meanings of its few, corrup
friends. The ravages of the fell disease
that robbed it of life had SO completely de
stroyed the interior of the thin"
that remained after death was such
mere tea-spoonful of dust-dust that wa
80 meagre and of so little worth-that it
friends concluded not to give it burial but
watched with tear-stained eyes while the
winds Of heaven waited from their sight
the last vestige of q once powerful party
1t is dead and mo so poor to do it rever,
ence," but all turn from it with sigh OF
relief that a thing so foul, so miserable, sc
corrupt, has at last been removed from
earthly ken and sent down to that place
where, we truly hCre, it may be purified by
fire

The few well-chosen words with which
the Hon. Samuel j, Randall, speaker of
the house of representatives, announced
the hour Of final adjournment of the 45th
Congress, will be found in our news col.
umns. This speech, coming as it did
at the close Of the stormiest session that
the capitol has seen, is remarkable for its
moderation, its praise for the opposition as
well as for his own party, and more espe-
cIally for its hopeful words as to the future.
We call special attention to az extract
from this speech, appended hereto:
with two great parties dividing the
people, each holding an important share in
the government, strict accountability on
the part of public servants and vigilant
eyes watching all, with reviviug business
and restored confidence, may we not look
hopefully to the early dawn Of new era
Of increased prosperity and greater happi-
ness for the country. Such is my fervent
prayer"

Let's see, how does it run
FOR ways that are dark

And Tor tricks that are vain
The Heather chinee is peculiar

And Tor tricks that are vain
The Heather chnee is peculiar"
Bret Harto had no conception ot-nor
did the peculiar mind of Bill Nye ever
fathom-the tricks of the party of high
moral ideas. The report Of the immaccu-
late committee appointed TO investigate
the charges against Senator Stanley
Mathews-of having been connected with
corrupt schemes for the counting in Of the
sublime fraud of the white house, and be,
ing connected with various election frauds
was yesterday presented to the Senate,
and is truly remarkable report. The
Republican Senate can find no instance in
which Mr.. Senator Mathews has been
guilty of any conduct unbecoming q
Senator, but they do find that Mr.. Senator
Mathews has been guilty of certain pecca-
dillOes that are wrong and injurious to
public interest" The party of high moral
ideas places inself on record, on the last
day of its life, as being in favor Of that
which is injurious to public interest" Il
is an aDte-mortem statement, a death-beC
confession, and it shows the true policy o.
the party during its long grasp upon the
arteries. of the country-a grasp that has
strangled, so far as it lay in the party
power, the life of the nation.
A seize of shame should haYe led then
to withhold such report now that they
are about to pass away from public gaze
but no act Of the party during the las
sixteen years has given evidence that, col
lectively or individually, it possessed am
such sense.

A Word IN behalf of the National
PARTY


The Springfield Register and Rock Is
land argus are firm in the belief, and not
at all backward about expressing it, that
the national greenback party was or
ganized by Republican influence, is run on
republican money, in the interest of the
republican party. While this may be true
we cannot quite see it in that way. We
freely admit that the result of the third
party movement could not have been more
favorable to the republican party, if every
word the Register and Argus charge was
true. In effect, the third party has been
only an auxiliary of the republican party
1t will be that, and only that,in the future

proach to the state, and to any party.

OF the movement, but as to its originatiop
