THE PRESIDENTS RECOVERY.

Ihe recovery OF tne PRESIDENT may
now be considered as reasonably GER
tain. The bulletins of the physicians
during the past week have been uni
formly encouraging and indicate a de-
creasing pulse, a nearly normal tenn
perature, and a generally convalescent
condition. Every one, doctors inciud-
ed, feel hopeful that President Gar
field will recover and the nations heart
is as full of JOY over the prospect as it
was lately depressed by the d%iscourag-
ing news from the White House. On
a number of accounts the
nations sorrow may prove to be the
nations joy. The attempt on the
presidents life has consolidated party
feeling. Personal animosity has been
changed to friendly anxiety and parti-
san rancor to sympathetic solicitude.
The recovery of President Garfield will
do more to break downthe distinction
between stalwart and administration
republicans than ten Legislative victo-
ries, and the sterling qualities of the
highest type of manhood exhibited
by the patient sufferer will
add such an increase of popularity to
the president as will make his admin
istration invincible to the sneers
of faction, or the attacks of opposing
party leaders. But if the recovery
of the president will do much in con-
solidating party sentiment, it will do
still more in graduating sectional es-
arrangement. One of the most pleas
ing incidents Of the anxious weeks of
waiting has been the cordial
expressions of sympathy which have
come from the South. No more ten
der expressions of solicitude or more
heartfelt hopes of recovery have been
received than from the state against
whom the president not many years
since fought on many a bloody field.
The southern people through its press
has expressed a hope, which we are
SURF will be reechoed by every citizen
of the north, that the presidents
wound may be the means of healing
the wounds of the civil war and unit
ing closely in the bonds of friend
ship two portions of a common country
with common hopes and common in
terests.
But above all, the injury to the
president has revealed in q startling
light one of the greatest weakness
of our political system. The spoils
hunting mania which has overtak en-
our people unless promptly checked
may produce many such dangerous as
sassins as Guitteau. 1t is a constant
menace to a healthy political growth,
and a standing threat to the lives of
public officers. Guitteau's crime has
drawn the attention of the public to
the fact as nothing else could have
done. If the recovery of the presi-
dent marks the beginning of a politi.
cal c~onvalescence which will finally
eradicate the ulcer of spoils hunting,
the nation will profit from the season
of anxiety through which it is now
passing. f-.,

WOMAN's TRUE FRIEND.

A friend in need is a friend indeed,
This none al deny, especial when
assistance is rendered when one is
sorely afflicted with disease, more par
ticulary those complaints and weak
nesses 30 common to our female pop
ulation. Every woman should know
that Electric Bitters are woman's true
friend, and will positively restore her
TO health, even when all other reme-
dies fail. A single trial will always
prove our assertion. The are pleas

made similar mistakes or committed
similar errors, and was it any wonder
that many protested against such actsl
But what ought to be done now is to
speak of his virtues, and to cast a
veil over his defects, if any, and not
to try to open up a wholesale system
of warfare upon all VINO may have
differed politically or otherwise with
our late distinguished fellow citizen.

stuff published as that we had in yes

PROCESSES; these are duties which no
one can perform for us, and they Ell
ter by an inseparable relation into
Qua engagements and constitute q
part Of the work We are to do for
the Master We wish to emphasize
your individuality, you stand forth
in the moral government invested
With a responsibility that is your
own, and no effort to evade its issues
will even be successful
Should every human being except
yourself be destroyed your sccoun-
liability TO God would remain, AMI
should the number Of earths inhabi-
tants be increased tenfold they could
not relieve you The fact that a
whole generation is keeping your
company in your onward march to
the judgment does not change your
relation to God, or palliate your 10
dividual acts Of wrong. II you
could feel your individuality at this
point the vast concerns Of an eternal
scene would engage your most ear
nest thoughts, and you would betake
yourself to personal culture and
moral development with an energy
worthy Of an immortal spirit. But
the work which every one should dc
is not entirely personal in It's bearing
It affects more or less all with whom
he associates. We are related by
the ties Of nature to Others and FROM
these relations arise duties which ar,
called social. They are religious, Il
performed with a view to Gods glor,
as well as mans good The work o
the christian is not done when b,
performs faithfully what be owes t
himself, for he is a debtor to Others
and a failure to liquidate that indebt
edness is an infraction of social Law
and Justly incurs divine displeasure
There is a great blessing attached t.
the work we do for others. In pro-
portion as we elevate others we rails,
ourselves, and every impulse which
we give humanity effects us. He who
gives his life for others according I,

comment from any considerable por
ton Of the democratic press Of Mis-
sissippi. Every paper published in
the state comes to this office, and We
can assure the Appeal that not more
than two or three have insisted on
Gen. Lowry's treating them other
wise than with silence The address
Of The state executive committee Is
conclusive on this point It says:

Assimilation.

The great law of our being is that
we become like the objects with which
we associate Even the poor soul
less, ifeless things around us pro
duce an impression upon the mind,
and more or less assimilate us to
themselves. We can scarcely see
the sun 60 down, and the dews Of
the nightlall come on and the dark
ness shroud the landscape, and the
noise and hustle OF the day die into
an echo, and not experience a deep
hush and repose settle on the heart
sympathetic with that other silence
which reigns without. Nor can we
look upon the grand panoramic view
unrolled to the gaze from a lofty
mountain peak, and not feel the kin
dlings Of strange inspiration that
lifts US above the pretty tribes Of life
into communion With things infinite
and eternal NOs can we stand By
the ocean when the oareeriug storm
is forth, and the hillows like plumed
warriors, sweep landward dashing
themselves in frenzied madness upon
the resounding beach and not notice
how instinctively the pulses beat in
music and in rhythm to the tumul =
tuous roar Of the elements.
In each OF these cases we are chang
ed in the mood and temper Of our
minds into a likeness with the things
which we have seen aud heard. And
as upon the higher, so also upon the
lower plain Of life. Silently it may
be, yet surely we are moulded By
what prinCiI les and maxims we set
before US. The contemplation OF
virtue leads TO virtue Familiarity
with vice soils and communicates the
soul. Companionship with writer's
wise and pure excites to wisdom
Association with those who are de-
PRAYED and skeptical, dwaris and
paralyzes thought and energy. What
ever We touch cleayes to Us.
We are not the creatures of circum.
stances yet, We are more or lesa
modified in our habits and character
by our surroundings III We touch
the alabaster box Of precious virtues
we carry The fragrant ointment to our
burial"

Below we give an extract from a
speech made by Senator Lamar a,
DeKalb, Miss, on Sept. 9th. 1881 as
reported in the Memphis Appeal.
In the beginning Of his remarks
Colonel Lamar said he desired and
had almost hoped that there would
be a unanimous election Of General
Lowry, whose broad and progressive
spirit appealed to the hearts Of all
patriots; whose spotless honor and
high principle as gentleman added
10 distinguished abilities aud servi-
ceA should command the confidence
of all parties. At this point he was
fsked by Captain Braine il in bis
opinion General Lowry was a party
TO any combination which had for its
objects opposition to his return TO
the Senate. To this the speaker re-
piled shave not tue slightest idea
that General Lowry is party to any
combination of the kind, assuming
that such combination exists. APP
plause ! have no intimation, either
directly or indirectly, from that gen
tleman on this matter, nor have ]
any source Of Information in relation
to it not open to the public. But
from my knowledge OF General Low.
RVS character, from what ! believe 10
be his personal feeling 10 me, and
rom tie fact that ho took the EARL r
est occasion 10 distauneet himself
from the attacks that had been made
upon me, am quite sure that he
does not wish any antagonism OF The
kind to which Captain Braine refers
He may have his preferences, as all
others have and as il is an unques-
tionable right to have. If in the
exercise Of his right Of private judg-
fment he should think that another
worthier than myself should repre-
sent Mississippi in the senate, shall
have no right TO complain | do not
know Whether Lowry is for Lamar

and wish it understood once for all
I that Lamar is Tor General Lowry TO-
