the Presidency Of the United States. The South
takes him and will give him her undivided vote,
He fought the South, but when the smoke of bat.
tie rolled away he earnestly fought against the
imposition of despotic expedience upon the South
ern communities In the military division OF which
he was the head. He understood the war to have
been fought to maintain the supremacy OF the
Constitution over the Southern States, and when
the conflict ended he knew that logically these
States were under the Constitution, and that the
substitution Of the sword for civil government
was but new phase OF rebellion against the Com
stitution for which the Union armies fought"
The Memphis Appeal says: "Whie in Memphis
three months ago, Gen, Hancock asked his friends
to make no demonstrations over his arrival, or

such marvellous cures, or maintained so
wide a reputation as AYRE's CHERRY
PEcToRAL, which is recognized as the
worlds remedy for all diseases of the

Hers OF more serious disorders, il acts

edge of its composition and effects,
physicians use the CHERRY PECToRAL

A Camp Meeting Around the World.

The Rev. John S. Inskip, editor of the
Christian Standard, we'll known in connection
with the Old Orchard camp meetings, who is
with party making the journey around the
world with the intent to locate Methodist camp
meetings at various points, including Rome,
cabled from London to his paper, under date
of July 18th as follows:-"Surry Chapel greet
ing to the Christians of America. The work
opens gloriously. Pray for u.s." Before re-
turning Mr.. Inskip and party will endeavor to
do some missionary service in India and expect
to be absent from home about year. The
idea of travelling camp meeting is a novel
one, and the experiment will be watched with
much interest by that decidedly missionary de-
nomination, the Methodist church, the more
with us, from the fact that the members of the
party now holding service at Surry Chapel are
so widely known here. The party consist of
the Rev. Messrs. Inskip, Wood nd Mcdonald
and wives, and constitute what is known as
