who was assisting in the work, was accident

was impeded by an obstruction in the road,
during which time Joe was standing in d.

projected horizontally, and tree. The horses
gave the wagon sudden lurch and the dome
struck him in the breast, forcing him against
the tree and crushing him SO badly that he
died half an hour after receiving the injury.

the policy of nominating Senator Bayard for
the Presidency, and, when nominated, Of elect
ing him."
- Sherman's friends claim that he will have
several of the State delegations from the
South in the Republican Convention. despite
anything that the friends Of Grant and other
candidates can do Mr.. Sherman has put
into Office nearly all of the Republicans in
the South, black and white, who are most
noted for working the political wires. Three.
if not four, of the ex-colored Congressman
from South Carolina are now in Office, and
they are hard workers for him.
- The latest expressions of Ex-Governor
Seymour contained in the New York Times
interview in regard to his possible nomina-
ton for the presidency by the Democrats
next year, indicate willingness to accept
the nomination, if rendered to him with
uuanimity. He avoided any declaration to
the effect that he would not accept the nomi'
nation, though he did say he would not be
candidate. This is the position Gen. Grant
is said to occupy in relation to the Republi'
can party, and thus we are presented with the
possibility that the men who made the presi
Dental race in 1868 will once more confront
each other, next year.
A Washington dispatch to the New York
Herald says two gentlemen of that city. both
Republicans, one strong friend of Gen
Grant and the other by no means averse to
his nomination, went over to Philadelphia
early last week for the special purpose of as
certaining the real feelings Of the prominent
Republicans who were to be there, regarding
the nomination of the General. They report
that they were surprised to find strong un
der-current against his nomination, ever
among many who are supposed by the coun
try to be Internationally for it. Of these
some were privately opposing the idea o.
bringing Gen. Grant out, on the ground thai
it involved real risk to the party on account
of the uncertainty of the old Liberal vote
which once deserted the party because O.

entertained of Ohio by the Generals friends
based upon the known feeling among thu
Germans and the strong opposition among
the large body of Independent Republican,
of that State against third term.

WE take it for granted that the
proprietry of publishing scarlet fever
cases, as first adopted by this paper,
is no longer questioned even by the
doctors. This policy is our surest
protection against the wild rumors
that are continually started by foolish
or malicious persons in the country.
1t is well known that when the city
papers ceased for a time to publish the
mOrtuary reports, it was rumOred
that yellow fever prevailed to an
alarming extent, and that we were
concealing the fact. AS soon as the
reports were resumed, this canard
ceased ID alarm even the most credu-
lous and timid, Were the papers to
ignore scarlet fever, the rumor would
90 out that there were ten, fifty or a
hundred new cases daily, and that the
facts were suppressed in the interest
of the merchants Of Memphis. The
best way to promote the commercial
interests Of the place is to deal
frankly with questions of this
kind, and establish reputation for
telling the truth. Memphislives by her
trade, that trade comes mainly from
the country within radius Of one
hundred miles around us. II any con-
tagious disease prevails here and we
conceal the fact by a connivance oil
the merchants, doctors aud newspa-
pers, it will leak out nevertheless and
our future denials, even Of the widest
rumors, would be worthless.
For instance, next summer or about
the 1st of June the st. Louis drum
mer will be sent down this way with
instructions not to go nearer Memphis
than twenty-five miles, and to circulate
lew cards and many reports that yell
low fever prevails in Memphis. This
kind of drummer leaves his con-
science in his safe, at st. Louis-and
a dozen would find room in the eye
of a needle-and does his work we'll
He tells that the fever has been
in Memphis all winter, aud that
the people are dying at the rate o,
ffty day. We would deny it indig'
nantly, and the country people would
say: Yes, you denied that the scar
let fever was there last winter, but
you lied about it, and we would mo-
believe you now If you were to tel
the truth" If only the most sordit
motives were consulted it would still
be the best policy to publish the facts
In other words, honesty is the bes
policy"

HeImbOId's Medical Preparations

Helmbold's various medical prepara-
tions have for the last twenty years or
more occupied a prominent place on the
shelves of every respectable druggist and
physician in the land. The skill displayed
in their preparation, the invariable
promptncss and efficiency of their action,
the absence Of nauseous and disgusting
taste or odor, and the attractive manner
in which they are put up, have made then,
universal favoritcs Especially is this the
case with Hclmbold's famous Buchu, a
medicine which has become indispensable
in the treatment Of a large and trouble
some class Of diseases, particularly those
which affect the digestive and urinary
organs As diuretic, it is isinyaluableand
the great advantage it possesses over other
preparations is the absolute purity of the
ingredients, and the uniformity Of
strength. Parents purchasing should be
careful to see that Hclmbold's : proprietary

naturally the attention Of the family

A Division in the Pennsylvania

Washington Special to New York Herald.l
1t turns out that the Pennsylvania
delegation to Chicago is not so unani-
nous as was reported. 1t is known
here that at least seven of the dele.
gates will vote against the third term,
first, last and all the time. They are
Blaine men, and do not hold them
selves bound by a unit rule, and pre-
fer to obey the will of their local con
stituents, The Cincinnati convention
decided that delegates were not bound
to vote contrary to their convictions
or the will of their local constituency,
and the point was raised, it will be re
mombered, on a motion Of member
ofthe Pennsylvania delegation. The
unit rule seems likely to give trouble
to the managers at Chicago.
