A sure cure for the Blind, Bleeding, Itching
and UlCerat d Piles has been discovered by
DR., Williams ian Indian remedy called DR..

good. WillAmss Ointment absorbs the
tumors, allays the intense itching (partlcu-
larly at night after getting warm In bed, acts
as u poultice gives instant and painle's relief,
and IL prepared only for Piles, itching OF
the private parts, and nothing else.

Some Amusement was created when the

ron THE DIFFUSION OF KNOWLEDGE AMONG
MEN
came up for consideration. II was laid on
the table by motion Of Mr.. Quarter, who
pointed out more serious defects In the
bill than II contained sections. First, the
title did not conform to the law requiring
II to stale the purpott Of the bill. Then
the bill was Unconstitutional In exempling
certain property from taxation. II also
Contravened the policy Of the law which
provided that certificates Of incorporation
ahould be Issued from one central head,
the Secretary Of State. II again unCohstl.
nationally exempted property from execu.
ton, and ContisCated the property OF one
person TO the uses Of others without that
PERSONS consent, and also to the State.

provided for the diffusion Of knowledge

A SOUND NOTE FROM THE
SOUTH.


Casey Young, ex-Congressman from
Tennessee, delivered an address at Mem
phis, in which he gave utterance to some
excellent sentiments, of which the fol-
lowing extract is specimen:
When the soldiers of the South laid
down their arms, under military condi-
tions that would have made further re-
sistance crime and accepted the gener-
Gus terms of the great captain to whom
they surrendered, they plighted no punic
faith, but the sturdy honor of soldiers,
to abide faithfully the issue of the war.
This they have done. But they must
not be shaken in steadfast adherence to
their plighted faith and honor by the
taunts and chickering's of the ignoble few
who witnessed from afar their heroic
struggle with a worthier foe. The brave
and true and manly of our countrymen
know now that the struggle was newt
able: that its seeds had terminated in
the very structure of our government,
had grown with its growth until they
had given life and vigor to a parasite
too strong to be torn away, save by the
strength of our whole nation struggling
in the throes of giant civil war. They
understand the sources of your convic-
tons and appreciate the courage with
which you maintained them, and the
time will soon come when the most ar.
dent of your admirers and eloquent Of
your eulogists will be among your own
countrymen with whom you crossed lances
on the field of battle. They are now
anxiously looking to you for aid in max
ing greater, better and more benefcent
our common country, to tear out The
thistles and thorns sown by the hand o.
hate, and add brighter and sweeter flow
ers to the chaplet of liberty-to stuc
with richer and rarer jewels the crown
and sceptre of freedom. In this noble
patriotic work it is our duty to join
The passions and animosities of wa
should be forgotten-over all its wick
edness and hates, over all its dark ant
forbidding places should be thrown tn
mantle of Christian charity, gently ant
softly as the hand of nature has sprea'
the beautiful mantle of spring over tn
quiet graves of those who persisted in it
fury.
