Here is a meaty extract from Gui-
teau's recent appeal, to which we in
vite the attention of some of the
"small fry" Republican brethren of
the press:
Il appeal to the Republican party,
especially the Stalwarts-of whom l
am proud to be one-for justice. l
appeal to the President of the Uni
ted States for justice. I am the man
that made him President. Without
ny inspiration he was q political CT
pher, without power or Importance.
1 was constantly with him in New
York last fall during the canvass,
and he and the rest of our men know
that we had all we could do to elect
our ticket. / am more than glad
that General Arthur is proving him
self a wise man in his new position,
and /. expect he will give the Nation
the finest administration it has ever
had"

Is a compound of the virtues of s~arsaparil-
la, s~tillingia, mandrake, yellow dock, with
the iOdide of potash and iron, all powerful
matchmaking, blood-cleansing, and life-sus-
tanning elements. It's the purest, safest,
and most effectual alternative medicine
known or available TO the public. The sci
ences of medicine and chemistry have never
produced so valuable a remedy, nor one so
potent to cure all diseases resulting from
impure blood. 1t cures S%erofula and
all s~crofulouS diseases, Erysipelas,

By its searching and cleansing qualities
it purges out the foul corruptions which
contaminate the blood and cause derange-
ment and decay. It stimulates and e~nlivens
the vital functions, promotes energy and
strength, restores and preserves. health, and
infuses new life and vigor throughout the
whole system No sufferer from any dis
ease which arises from imparity of the
blood need despair who will give AYERS
S~ARsAPATILLA Il fair trial. r
1t is folly to experiment, with the numer-
Gus low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials,
and without medicinal virtues, offered as
headquarters, while disease becomes more
firmly seated. AYERS S-ARsAPARILLA is a
medicine OF such concentrated curative
power, that it is by far the best, cheapest,
and most reliable. blood-purifer known.
Physicians know its composition, and pre-
scribe it. 1t has been widely used for forty
years, and has won the unqualified conf
dence of millions whom it has benefited.

The Watermelon.

Instruction in eating watermelon is
given by the Baltimore American,
which should be good authority as it
is published in the watermelon region.
The hotel plan of cutting a watermelon
like a turnip, and putting lump of
ice in it is condemned, because ice
should never touch the pulp; but a
burial of the uncut melon in ice for
two or three days is wise. Then cut
lengthwise and eat between meals.
"People deal unjustly with this fruit
sometimes, by eating a hearty dinner
first, and then topping off with a mel
on; and then if a moral earthquake
sets up in the interior, they charge it
to the melon. The watermelon was
intended as an episode-an interlude--
a romance without words-a nocturne
in green and red-not to be mingled
with bacon and green's. Its indulg-
ence leaves a certain epigastral expan-
sion, but this is painless and eyanes-
cent. The remedy is to loosen the
waistband and--tak another slice"
