The following address to the
Mexican war veterans has been IS
sued:
To the Mexican Veterans-Coln-
ra,les: At the last meeting of orr as
sociation 1t was resolved that we
should tender Mai .-Gen. Winfield
Scott Hancock a pressing invitation
to be present at the military exer-
cises OF the Nashville exposition,
May u, p and 26, 1881, set apart
for the special qualification of the
visitors of our grand exposition. 1t
is hoped that this distinguished sol
dier will, if his official duties will
not prevent, be here on that Occa-
sion. You are all invited to be
present, and we trust that as many
as can come will do so and be found
in the line of the procession. Com
rades, believing that none of you
are grown or feeble or have ever
felt the loss of worldly goods; that
none OF you have died, when they
read of Monterey and Buena Vista,
of Vera Cruz, Cerro Gordo and the
battles of Contreras, Chapultepec
and Morlino Del Rey, and your en-
trance to the City of Mexico. They
think, perhaps, that the men who
did all that marching ana fighting
under Taylor and Scott, wreathing
the American standard with unfad-
ing laurels, while they enriched
their country with conquered lands
of inestimable value, were made of
such material as must place them
above all want or even of recogni-
ton, else, when the pension bill of
last year was passed without
single question you had been little
respected. Come, then, looking as
you did thirty-four years ago, If
you can. III You can't, bring yunr
venerable gray hairs, your bullet
SCARED frames, still borne up by
patriotic hearts, and i promise you
that Nashville will, through her
thousands, do you honor. Mean
while, do not forget 90 send tine
names of widows of deceased veter-
ans for record, TO S. A. Duling, sec
retary, Nashville, Tenn; as we IN
tend to look sharply after your iu-
terests. From every hiil and hol-
low, wherever you are, send your
names.
Editors Of papers throughout the
state, please give u your generous
aid By publishing this card.

signing ones Name.

Every one, particularly II he be
possessed of means, should avoid
signing his name prOmiscuOusly.
In one instance, a young man
traded n poor for a good horse,
giving his note for ninety dollars,
payable by agreement, six months
after date without interest. When
called upon for payment he claim
ed that il was not due by any
means and a careful examination
showed that il read "payable six
months after death" This shows
how easy it is to change entirely the
purpOrt ola written agreement so rs
not to be noticed by the casual OBJ
server. Millions of dollars have
been filehed from farmers who have
thoughtlessly, or carelessly or ig-
norantly, signed their names. Be
guiled by the promises Of large
profits, they have undertaken to
act as ''agents'' for this, that or the
other invention, or a lot Of imple-
Inents, new patents, spring mattress
ses. ETC., with the guarantee that all
not sold would be taken back. The
only safety is not To write ones

mark for any stranger under any

be kept continually before the pub

Gravel ROndS,
Henderson lKy.l Reporter,

The subject of gravel roads is at
tracing much attention in Hender-
son rounty. There is no subject that
could engage the attention of prop
erty-owners and taxpayers that is
at this time of more Importance.
Bad roads are a most Wasteful eX-
travagance. Nothing betokens a
more sluggish, unenterprising spirit
than for farmers to submit to take
their produce to market over roads
that are all but impossible. Moth
ing more retards the development
of a country. 1t repels all desirable
emigration and prevents improve
ment by those already settled. The
loss OF time, the damage to wagons
and teams, the additional hardships
expense and discomfort, the fre-
quent loss of profit by absolute ina
bility to get produce to market du-
ring the time of highest prices. all
constitute tax far more burden
some than would be the cost of well
constructed gravel roads.

A NEW YORK clergyman. in a
lecture on "Modern Courtship,"
told his audience that 'syoung ladies
and gentlemen should be entirely
frank in their courtship-they
should describe to each other their
weak points," Many of the young
people of his audience concluded to
take his advice, and the result is
that twenty-five engagements have
been broken off between the young
men and women of his congrega-

Fast Horses.
Scientific American.

The standard trotter is one that
can cover a mile in 2:30. 1t is said
that less than 900 of all the horses
raised and trained in the United
States have this record. The num-
Der that can trot in 2:50 bear the
ratio of one to 1888 horses raised.
AS a business the breeding of fast
horses is therefore very much of a
lottery and when we recall the
fact that the high prices which
famous colts have brought have
rarely been received by the men
who raised them, the prizes in
breeding and training trotters are
few and uncertain.

Some years ago Prof. Helmholtx, in a let
ter to you, gave an account Of remedy he
had found for .'hay fever" This was simply
TO treat the part OF the nose, which seems to
be the seat Of the trouble, with sulphate Of
Quinne solution by pouring it into the nose
W ith pipette, while living on = sofa with the
head turned upside down. Having had the
| most ENJOYABLE part Of the summer destroyed
by hay fever ever since l can remember.
have tried every remedy have heard of, in
cluding internal doses of arsenic, and have
found them all to fail Prof. IIelmholtz's
method only gives me relief for 10 minutes or
So and cold water does the same. l have
tried solutions of sui lphate of zinc and tannin,
and many other astringents, but all to no pur-
pose As many others knew that l was cx-
perimenting upon myself in this matter, |
have had several patients trying all the rene
dies that have tried, and can therefore say
with certainty that no remedy vet published
will cure hay fever. | have, however, sue
ceeded in finding method which is . really
efiectual cure and as | know that many are
rendered miserable during the most enioya-
BILE part of of the year | hasten to give them
the benefit of the result Of my injuries. One
thing which misled ME was that my eyes were
often very much inflamed and panied during
an attack, and I often tried remedies for my
ewes (which have sometimes gone wrong
when had no hay fever) when they were
only affected in sympathy with my nose. !
found that the only thing required was to pre-
vent the entrance of the pollen grains into
the nose. When there are not many in the
air, as during or after rain, it is simply nee
essary to stop the nose with spring clip. !
have used piece Of brass or ateel ribbon
bent double and having only sufficient spring
to close the nostrils without undue pressure.
This causes the patient TO breathe by the
mouth, but one soon gets accustomed to the
inconv enience. found that to stop the nos
irils with cotton wool was far too irritating,
especially as those afflicted with hay fever
are so ow ing to the tenderness of the internal
coating of the nose. When going among hay
further precaution must be taken, viz
plugging the ducts from the eyes. fused for
this purpose dumb be shaded pieces Of glass.
which are easily slipped into the ducts. and
can be removed when wanted. Thus protect
ed, anyone who is troubled by hay fever can
go into the camp of the enemy and stir up hay
in field with as much impunity as one not
troubled with this sixth sense The season
for hay fever is fully passed now, but | hope
that the publication Of this note will be the
cause of relief to many during next summer.
and on that plea ask its publication in your
valuable journal. and | hope that medical
men in the south Of England. where hay fever
is commo.., will give it a trial and report up
on il next summer. In Scotland hay fever is
practically unknown.-Ndfure.

81 Ahmed FL Hadi is the latest mysterious

the Tunisian Sacred City, in the character of
a marabout. He is described as having a
dignified presence and sympathetic face,
which is indefinite enough to please joaquin
Miller. He speaks many languages, has
passed through the Trappist and Carthusian
novitiate, is leading the life of an anchorite" ="
on Sc month, which would seem not hard to
po. He now believes that Islamism in no
way precludes political or material progress
but as he is also said to be Mormon from
Salt Lake this is not a remarkable belief. He
arraigns the dignitares at cafes and protects
Europeans. Altogether it seems likely that
