GEN. FRANCIS A. WOLFF FOR
GOVERNOR.

Col. B. T. Kimbrough, the &C
compllshed editor Of the Ashland
Register, visited Jackson last
week, and after viewing the whole
State from the cupelO Of the Cap
itol, discovers chat people gener-
ally concede that Hon. Francis a
Wolff, Of Tippah, is the coming
man for Governor. Gen. Wolf
has recently put forth in a letter
to Col. Thos. Harris, of Holly
Springs, an exhaustive exposition
of his views on the financial ques-
ton. In this admirable letter he
strikes the golden mean between
the hard money idea of the con-
t~ractionists, and the greenback
craze of the infationists. We con.
slider him sound on the question,
and take pleasure in recording the
fact that a problem which has
stunned and bewlIdered Judge
Turgee's "wise men" at Washing
ton for the last decade, has been
intelligently and satisfactorily
solved by the clear-headed back.
woods philosoph er Of Tippah.
Gen. Wolff won considerable
fame in the last Legislature of
Mississippi, as a strong and lumi-
nous thinker, and a terse and cap
tivating orator. His celebrated
tramp speech went ahe rounds of
the press, and elected a letter from
ex-P president Davis, and arrested
the attention and evoked the com
mendatlon of United States Sena-
tors and distinguished NJ. P's in
the British Parliament. What of.
feet his letter on the money prob
lem of this country will have re.
mains TO be seen. If the men
whose business it is to shape the
national legislation will have the
wisdom to be guided or influenced
by his clear sighted and clear-cut
suggestions on that subject, we
may look for salutary changes
which will quiet the excitement of
the country and remove the gener-
al dissatisfaction of the people

How Happiness is Secured.

Happiness is the absence of pain OF
annoyance, and wherever there is pain
there is disease. A pain in the lower
portion of the body indicates a disor-
der ofsome kind. If there is any odor
or color or deposit in the urine, it
means disease, and requires attention
at once. We have heard many of our
friends speak of the remarkable power
of Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure, and are convinced there is moth
