IEeImbolaI's Rucllu.

Helmbold's Buchu has long been known
as one of the most valuable medicines at
tainable in certain classes of diseases, such
as dyspepsia chronic rheumatism, dropsyl
cutaneous affections, and especially afiec-
tions of the urinary organs. AS a diuretic,
it issuperior to almost any other medi-
cine in use, and the great care 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 reliable and
effective preparation, and one that can
alwayo be used with safety and benefit
The great success of Helmbold's Buchu
has led to the production of many spur
ious preparations, which are made cheap
ly and placed upon the market 10 be sold
on the reputation acquired by Helmbold's
original preparation Parties who desire
a really good medicine should be careful
and use Helmbold's only.

MAT CARPENTER is seeking seat
in the front ranks of the Stalwarts
again. He declares that the Repub-
lican party will not submit to Presi-
dental election in favor of the Dem
ocracy, under the color of law, as did
the Democratic party in 1876. He
says forewarned is forearmed, and that
physical force will be used if the
Democratic candidate claims his seat.
Mat would be almost as dangerous a
man in a bit of row as the warllke
Bob Toombs. OF one thing he may
be assured, if Democratic candidate
is elected he will be likely to claim his
seat with more energy than Mr.. Til
den did in 1877.

INEss MEN OF MEMPHIS.

The following kindly notice from
the Grenada Sentinel, of last week, is
sufficient to encourage our own people
and to indicate to the outside world
that we still move, exist, and are a
considerable being;
Captains John Dearing and p. c..
Montgomery, who were well and fav-
orably known in Hatchie river circles,
before that stream was closed to navi-
cation by legislative crookedness, are
to be the pioneers in again opening it
up. They have arranged to put first
class steamer on the river with the
first rise which will make regular trips
during the season from Bolivar to
Memphis, They were around Monday
interviewing our merchants, and we
are pleased to learn received from
neatly all of them promises of liberal
support and patronage. They propose
to carry cotton from Bryants Land
ing for one dollar per bale, which we
believe is lower rates than our mer-
chants and planters have been able to
obtain since the war. Their boat will
have the capacity to carry 1900 bales
of cotton and other freight, With cabin
accommodations for passengers. The
rates proposed by these gentlemen will
be saving Of many hundred dollars
in the way of freight on cotton alone

prise OF Captain Dearing and Mont
gomery, in undertaking at once to
navigate the river, astGming individu-
ally the expense Of cleaning out the
drifts and clearing the banks Of lean
ing trees, will draw 70 their boat a
patronage that will sustain them in
their efforts to give the people along

Improvement Of the ~. Francis
River.

A party Of twelve or fifteen work
men under Capt. Maumus, a we'll
known st. Francis river boatman, are
to leave here this evening for Helena,
Ark, where they will fit up a barge or
iat-boat, with cranes and other ap-
plicances, after which they will pro-
ceed up the st. Francis river by means
of the steamer Gen. Milhs. The OBJ
ieot Of the voyage is to chop leaning
timber, dangerous to passing boats
from the edge of the banks, and to
clear logs and other distractions
from the channel. 1t is ex-
pected that the expedition will
work their way through to Wittsburg,
and that they will be engaged in the
work for several weeks. The present
extreme low stage Of the river will
greatly facilitate the labor, and unless
interlered with by an early swell Of
the waters, an immense good can be
accomplished for the benefit of navi,
CATION. The expense of the trip is to
be betrayed from the fund appropri.
ated by the last congress for st. Fran
els river improvement, and which
fund is now in the hands oi
Major Bonyaprd, Of the U. S. engi.
neers. This is the frst attempt on
the part Of those in authority to i'm
prove the channel of the st. Francis
river, though appropriations were
made for the purpose two years ago
ard again last spring. The outlay ol
the proposed trip is not likely to ex,
ceed f3u or Ave thousand dollars, il
Indeed it reaches that sum.

Of their letters, registered and ordi-
nary, under orders from thepostmaster
general, based on law, authorizing him
to detain letters concerning lotteries,

law is unconstitutional, as it makes
the postmaster general sole and ex-
elusive judge Jury and sheriff, and
gives the paI Yno opportunity to be
heard, and deprives plaintiffs of their
prosperity without due process of law

THE startling report got out in
Kentucky the other day that the pre-
cious constitution ofthe state was lost
or mislaid. CONSERVATION filed the
hearts of this noble yeomanry and they
looked at each other blank enough to
inquire: Are we state, or what? Are
we peers or vassals? Married or single?
Is Kentucky a province or territory?
The legal fraternity took lively in
terest in the matter, knowing that the
loss Of the certified and engrossed copy
Of the constitution, as adopted by the
convention Of 1880, would cause
great confusion, and perhaps be the
undoing of both court and legislation
After a few days of anxiety and ludi-
crous uncertainty, the original docu-
ment was found to be in the proper
vault, and the great commonwealth
breaths free again all the way from
Virginia to the Mississippi.

you must pay for it, my son. Wealth
is an expensive thing. 1t costs all it
is worth. If you want to be worth a
million dollars, it will cost you Just a
million dollars to get it. Broken
friendships, intellectual starvation,
loss of social enjoyment, deprivation
of generous impulses, the smothering
OF manly aspirations, a limited
wardrobe and a scanty table, a
lonely home because you fear a
lovely wife and beautiful
home would be expensive, a
hatred of the heather, dread of the
contribution-box, haunting fear Of
the Woman's Aid Society, a fretful
dislike of poor people because they
won't keep their misery out of your
sight, little sham benevolence that is
worse than none; oh, you can be rich,
young man, if you are willing to pay
the price. Any man can get rich wi o
doesn't think it is too expensive.
True, you may be rich and be a man
among men, noble and Christian and
grand and true, serving God and bless
ing humanity. but that will be in spite
Of your wealth, and not as result Of
it. 1t will be because you always
were that kind Of man. But if you
want to be rich merely to be rich, if
that is the breadth and height of your
ambition, you can be rich if you will
pay the price. And when you are
rich, son, call around at this Office

|. WHILST the Republicans have re-
ioiced over the Pennsylvania election,
and paraded it as a great victory, the
fact comes out in the full returns that
the vote was unusually small, and, as
the Philadelphia Ledger says, is prac-
tically yalueless as a guide to political
changes that may have taken place in
the political opinions Of voters. The
Republicans have a plurality Of nearly
10000 votes, yet their full vote falls
short of the vote cast for the Demo
cratic candidate for governor last year
by 1900. The vote of last year was
the largest ever cast in the state, with
the exception of the vote cast at the
presidential election in 1876, when the
total reached 758,774, or nearly a
quarter of a million greater than the
vote this year. The vote cast this
year in Pennsylvania was the smallest
ever cast since 1865, except in 1873,
when on light vote the Republicans
had $4,000 majority, Tha vas one of
the of years" So is this. Z here is still
ground worth contending for in the
old keystone state If federal inter-
ference could be Withdrawn for a
single year, there Is little doubt that
the state would 60 Democratic.
