THE Democratic leaders can not dam
the current of public opinion with
straws. Yet that is what they are en-
deayoring to do when they say that the
people would approve an abandonment
of the army on account of the cost of
maintaining it. Without an army the
damage done by Mexican raiders and
savage cut-throats in one year would
equal the amount expended in FIVE years.
In fact, large portion of Texas and Or
egon and the Territories would be un-
inhabitable without military protection.
An abandonment of the army would be
an excellent issue, if so many innocent
people would not be made to suffer.
But if the Democratic party is determin-
ed to appeal to the country on that issue,
it had better settle up its business and
write out its last will and testimony be-
fore taking the step.-Cin. Com.

THE Kentucky Republicans propose to
make a big fight in the gubernatorial
campaign this year. They are plucking
up courage because they gained at re-

WHEN Thurman contemplates the dis
tressed freemen of New York driven
away from the polls and trampled upon
by the terrible Davenport, articulate ut
terance is too feeble to express his emo
tion, and he simply unfurls his bandanna
and discharges volley of sympathetic
sneezes, says the Tribune.

If by merely looking at fence or two
on his farm, John Sherman stampeded
the whole Ohio Democracy, as well as
the balance of mankind, the effect of
running a furrow or two round one of

to the water with veteran Bourbon
after them.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DAM in the right side, under the
l edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tte and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part There is
generally considerable loss of men,
ory, accompanied with painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains Of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively derahged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. C.. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.
BEWARE OF INVITATIONS.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
Every box has a.red wax seal on the lid,
with the impression DR.. McLANE's LIVER
PILLS.
The genuine McLANL's LIVER PILLS bear
the signatures OF c. McLANE and FLEMING

ing Bros, of Pittsburgh, Pa, the market being

Sabbath School Assembly at
HendrYsburgh.

The Annual Sunday School Conven-
ton of the Barhesville NJ. E. Church,
was held in Hendrysburgh May 18th, 14th
and 18th. There were present as delegates
all the prominent school workers in the
district, and the exercises were highly en-
tertaining. Essays and addresses upon the
various phases of school work, black
board exercises, normal class exercises
and lesson reviews constituted the topics
presented to the convention for discus
sion. Much enthusiasm was manifested
by the delegates and every one expressed
the belief that great good to the Sabbath
School cause must result from the inter-
change of views and experiences, and
the encouraging reports received from
every school in the district.
Quaker City was selected as the place
for holding the next Assembly. The
election for officers resulted in the choice
of the Presiding Elder (whoever that
may be) as President; II. w. Stewart,
Viee-President; A. T. McKelvey, Sec'y.
The hospitality of the good people of
Hendrysburgh was unbounded and the
delegates were unanimous in words of
praise.

THE Bellaire and Southwestern Rail-
road may be said to have at last tri-
umphed over all opposition, to have
overcome every obstacle, and to have set
at nought the false prophets. On Satur-
day the first train arrived at Armstrong;
Mills, which, though not the final termi-
nus of the road, has long been the virtu-
al objective point. This event marks an
era in the history of Bellaire. The road
makes tributary to her of an entire
county, one of the richest and most fer
tile in the State, and diverts from other
points the trade of almost One-fourth of
Belmont county. 1t can but prove to be
Bellaire's most important feeder. 1t
pours into her Golfers the wealth of a
hitherto inaccessible region, and it calls
upon her in return for the development
of that region. The road has already
achieved phenomenal success, paying its
expenses first when but five miles were
in running order, and: afterwards when
but seventeen miles were completed.
The operation of trains as far as Arm
strOng's will assure the completion of
the other part of the road, which is al
ready in condition to receive the ties
