A FOOL ONCE MORE.

''For ten years my wife was confined to
bed with such complication of ailments that
no doctor could tell what was the matter or
cure her, and i used up a small fortune in
humbug stuff. Six months ago | saw U. s.
flag with Hop Bitters on il and thought |
would be fool once more. | tried it but
my folly proved to be wisdom. Two bottles
cured her. She is now as well and strong as
any mans wife, and it cost me only two dol
lars. Such folly pays.-H. W., Detroit,

THE editor of the " ashington Re-
public, being about to retire from
journalism, Democratic papers saw
in this an event uniavorable to Sec
rotary Sherman, as Mr.. J. Brisbin
Walker, the editor, had urged the
Greenbackers to support Sherman as
Presidential candidate. In the last
number of his paper Mr.. Walker re-
plies 10 THESE insinuations. After de.
clarlng that the paper was never in
any sense the organ of Secretary
Sherman, he states that after re-
sumption conversations with the Sec
rotary convinced him that Mr.. Sher-
mans ideas of finance reform ap-
preached more nearly the principles
the Republic, as a Greenback paper,
had supported than of any other Re-
publican leader. After saying so
much in a preliminary way, Mr..
Walker adds:
Convinced of these facts, came to believe
that Mr.. Sherman was the most available man
tor President in $50. The Greenbackers
sCNnNu w uc ulutE tic iSau either OI l0anls
ties or Missionaries. Departing from the doc
trnes formulated by Henry Carey, they had
run off into the widest extremes of financial
quackery and German socialism. The Demo-
cratic party was only sincere in its desire Tor
finance reform, so far as such professions
could enable il TO reach the spoils of Office
The only hope for reform was in the Repub-
lican party. The man who above all others
in the Republican party understands the true
bearings of this financial question is Secre-
tary Sherman. My acquaintance with him
leads me to believe that he is man of high
character, possessing an infexible will to &C
eomplish what he believes to be right, neces-
sarily ambitious, never descending to any
thing petty to accomplish his purposes, and
somewhat cold and distant in his relations
with men. Believing this, have done what
could to call attention to the great strength
which this man would possess as the Repub-
lican nominee for the Presidency, and the ad-
mirable President he would make If elected
to that Office. l am only sorry that personal
interests prevent my remaining to uige his
nomination and election.

Thomas JenersOn's Grave. =.

A correspondent Of the Boston "Jour-
na !" thus describes the grave of Thom-
as jefferson, at Monticello, Va. We
were surprised and looked in vain for
something to remind us Of the resting
place Of the author of the Declaration
of Independence, but, on alighting and
passing through the underbrush for a
few steps, We found ourselves brought
face to face with the most desolate OF
bugial places. The spot was originally
surrounded by brick wall through
which an iron CRATE furnished admit
tance, but the wall has been entirely
torn down, and the gate lies prostrate.
TIL. inclosure is from two to three hun.
dred feet square, and there are some
twenty graves, where rest the descend.
ants and relatives of Jefferson. Some
of the graves are marked with head
stones, but some are without any mark
though several burials have taken
place since the war, and one grave
seemed to be freshly sodded. Jefferson's
grave is marked by a rough granite
monument, square and about five feet
in height, upon which is placed cone
| shaped block of granite. The corner
have all been broken off by visitors
there is no name upon it, the plate
which evidently was once in the stone
having been removed, but upon the
base near the ground was the date o.
his birth and death in rude letters
There are several large trees growing
within the enclosure, and the whole Is
surrounded by UTILIZED land and under
brush.
