Ague Cure

Il 8 u v " u : y
Is a purely vegetable bitter and power
full tonic, and is warranted speedy and
certain cure for Fever and Ague, ChillS
and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fe-
yer, Rcnittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all
malarial disorders. In miaSmatic dis
tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue thirst,
lassitude, loss of appetite pain in the back
and loinS, and GOODNESS Of the spine and
extremities, are only premonitionS OF
severer symptoms, which terminate in the
ague parpXySm. succeeded by high fever
and proiusc pcrSplratlon.
It is a startling fact, that quininr, arse
mic and other poisonous minerals, form the
basis of most of the Fever and AgUe
Preparations" Specifies" Syrups," " and
"Tonics," in the market. The prrrara-
tions made from these mineral poiSons,
although they are palatablc, and may
break the chill, do not cure but leave the
malaria and their own drug poison in
the system, producing quiliSm, dizziness,
ringing in the ears, headache, vertigo and
other disorders more formidable than the
disease they were intended to cure.
AYERS AGCE CURE thoroughly cradicateS
these noXious poSons from the system,
and always cures the Seycrest cases. 1t
contains no Qumiuc. mineral, or any thing
that could injure the most delicate pa
tient; and its croWning excellence, above
its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the
system as free from disease as before the
attack.
For Liver Complaints, AYEH's AGvE
CURE, by direct action on the liver and
hillary apparatus, drives out the pOisons
which produce these complaints, and slim
ulates the system to vigorous, healthy
condition.
We warrant it when taken according to
directions.

RACES IN UNITED STATES.

The sensus returns show the total
population of the United States to
be 5O,152,S66. Of ohese 49,4O4,S77
are white and 6,577,l5l colored.
Apparently the blacks are increasing
in a greater ratio than the whites,
We say apparently, for the census
of 1870 was defective in its enumer-
alton of the colored population. 1t
was q surprise to the whole country
whom it was found that, without the
aid of emigration, the colored peo-
pie had increased more rapidly than
the white. Many parts of this coun-
try are very well fitted for the black
race, which thrivcs under conditions
that are fatal to, white people. of
Asiatlcs, mainly Cinnamon, there
are 105,7l7, and North American In
dians, 5,122. This does not include
the Indians who are in tribal rela-
tions. The race problem is an i'm
portant one in this country, and will
cause many political and social..dis-
turbance in our future history.-Dem-

ANOTHER COMET.

About two o'clock on the morning
of the 1st of May, Professor Louis
Swift, director of the Warner OBJ
servatory, at Rochester, N. Y, turn
cd his telescope to the constellation
of Andromed and discovered n
bright comet, moving in southern
ly direction. The new comet is To-
Gated in the constellation above ma
med, right ascension 0hours 0minutes
decllnation 81 degrees North. This
is,the first comet discovered during
the present year, and places Profess
sor Swift in possession of the 5000
prize which Mr.. II. II. Warner offer
ed last January for the discovery Of
comets. Inasmuch as Prof. Swift
received $500 for the discovery Of
the comet of 1880 from the same
gentleman, he is at last finding as
tronomy profitable as well as pleas
ant. 1t is not thought the present
is the expected one of1Sl2, although
it is in nearly the location from
which that comet is expected; nor is
there any reason to believe it will
have any effect upon the earth, or
hasten the predicted coming Of the
end of the world.-Ex.

MOUTHY MAHONE'S LONG ORA.
TION AND HOW THE SENATE RE-
CEIVED 1T.

Washington, March 2S-MahOne's speech is a
very long one, He devoted himself chiefly to de.
tending the Riddleberger bill and answering
Johnston's speech in general, which was deliver
ed last week.
Riddleberger sat in Senator Mahone's seat, and
when the speaker called for quotations he hand
ed them to him from file Of dOcements arranged
in order on the desk. The whig article was hand
ed to messenger, who passed 1t to the clerk, as
were also extracts from the public life of sena'
tors Johnson and Malone, all Of which were
read Malone pointed out how closely allied
they were In some things, and how inconsistent
his colleague had been from time to time He
took up the speech Of Senator Johnston, and re-
feTred to his having spoken Of him not as his coll
league, but as q Tepudiator. he asked the Sena'
tors of West Virginia to show that steps had been
taken to pay their one.third share Of the debt Of
the old State OF Virginia, In Iepelling the charge
that his parry were repudiatoTs he referred to the
action as disagreeaDle duty on one slde ana as
agreeable on the other He however, denied the
charge, and added that every man In the virginia
assembly who voted for him as Senator gave also
all unqualified vote for the "RiddlebeTger bill. !"
Said he: "Were those men dishOnOTable Z Was 1t
dishOnorable for them to advocate not only the
payment of Virginias share OF the old Sta'e
debt but also OF the Just share Of West Virginiasf

THEATER BURNED.
OVER 15O PEOPLE ROASTED OR CRUSH.
ED IN THE NICE THEATER FIRE.
Miraculous Escapes Sickening Ecenes-HOrrible
Str uggle for Life Cause Of the Fire.

Paris, March 24.--The cause Of the fire which
destroyed the Opera House at Nice last night wa
a leak In the gas pipes behind the scenes. ThC
leak was caused suddenly in some way unknown
and allowed great volumes Of gas to escape. ThiI
ignited, before the leak was discovered, from the
rear stage Lights, and the explosion which fol-
lowed at once set all the scenery and all inham'
mabls material on the stage on fire. Before
the audience recovered from theiI first horror the
entire building was in flames. To add to the ca
lRmity, some one turned the gas off in his efforts
to stop the hre and then terrible panic ensutd,
The audience became frantic, and In the endesvor
to escape all sought personal safety, and the
women were remorselessly knocked aside and
tramped upon. Prima Donna Dorado was mi.
Iaculously saved by her friends. Many Of the &C.
tors and chorus were burned to death. One hun.
dred and iity dead charTed bodies have already
been dug out Of the ruins to day. Many more
remain In the debris. The city Is In state OF
widest sorrow and excitement. Some OF the
scenes which the light Of day and the work Of
clearing away the debris disclosed are horrible.
The charIed remains OF women and men are pill:
ed in heaps In the body OF the theater, masses OF
EmouldeTiDg, steaming, horribly Odorous human
flesh. Many Of the bodies were headless, the
heads having been burned of, the bodies remain
ing intact but fearfully contorted and twisted by
the death agonies. Strong men were pinned
down by fallen timberB or lay with their limbs
clasped by q dozen terror-BtTlcken and suhooating
beings while their arms slowly roasted ana they
died from excessive pain. The position Of one
group shows that number Of women had seized
upon man In their terror and held him fast In
his frantic rage and terror he had choked one Of
the women TO death, and still had his hands
about her throat and his teeth fastened in her
arm when they were all overcome by the smoke.
In other places man and wife were found locked
in each others arms, burned almost beyond rec.
ogniuOn. Every available place In the neigh
occupancy Of the wounded, dead and dying,
The work Of recovering the bodies will be pushed
as rapidly possible and 1t is thought that great
numbers will be recovered to-day, Whilethere are
some which will never be found. 1t is estimated
that nearly 80 Of THOSE now numbered on the list
Of injured, will die.

Washington, Mach 26.-Immeciately aftel
reading the jourdal In the Senate Mr.. Dawes de
manded the regular order, being the resolution
for the election Of Senate officers.
Mr.. Pendlcton moved TO go into executive Ses
sion. RejeGted-yeRs 20, nays 20.
Mr.. Malone was present and voted with the
Republicans.
A motion to lay the motion on the table wai
lost-yeas 2S nays 20.
Mr.. Logan said that during special session 0
the Senate in 1858 officers Of the Senate had been
elected. He cited this to show that there was o
precedent for lhe position now taken by the Re
publicans.
Mr. Harris said that that was the only preced
ent that could be found, and called attention tC
the fact that at that time all the old oiCeIs had
been re elected except one who had been rsmOV-
ed for cause.
MI. Farley inquired Of Mr.. Logan II he could
find any precedent where the dominant party
had refused to go into executive session TO con-
firm or act on q nomination made by Its own
President.
MI. Logan replied by inquiry whittier the gen.
tleman could hnd q precedent where the minority
had ever undertaken to rule the majority.
Mr.. Farley replied that at this very session a
minority Of the Senate had for two weeks hlibus-
tered against the organization Of the Senate COM
mitteeS by the majority, ,,..
Mr.. Morrill, read rom speech made two years
ago By the NestOr OF the Democratic siue (9auls'
bury, at q time when change Of officers was
proposed, advising the Republicans TO reconcile
themselves To their poslsion as 0 minority, and
like Christian gentlemen bear II manfully.
Mr.Butler relorted by quoting from speech
made at the same time by the Nestor OF the Re.
publican side [AnthOnyl In which he stated he
did not think he would ever be found advocating
the removal Of officers who had performed their
duties faithfully and efficiently.
Mr.. Call opposed the resolution.
A motion to go into executive session was de-.
feated-yeas 20, nays 20.
Mr.. Beck referred to statement made yester-
day by Mt. Dawes, that he supported Mr.. Riddle
berger because he belonged TO party ofmen who
opposed that party which had Its heel on the
neck OF the black man In Virginia, and desired
to call that Senator'S attention to q scene which
had taken place In the Virginia Legislature. Mr.
Morse, a col0red man LwhO probably could neith.
er read nor write, and who therefore would rot
be entitled to vote In Massaehusetts,l had arisen
and made rather rambling speech In which he
advocated the payment Of the State debt and
had then yielded to Mr.. Riddleberger. That gen.
tleman thereupon had offered q resolution to ex.
pei Mr. Morse, which was rejected. The man
who had sought TO exDel an ignorant but honest

Mr.. Beck-Poor man suppose he took q
double chance on him. [Laughter]
The motion TO 90 into executive session having
been defeated Mr. Malone took the floor to ad'
dress the Sena'e. This reused that body, which
attention.
He was unfortunate he said, In having been
absent from the Senate yesterday when some al.
lusiOns had been made to RiddlebeTger and him
self. He had been indispObed and was still too
unWel to review the speeches.
Mr. Dawes interrupted. and said II the gentle.
man would prefer TO speak Monday he would
move to adjourn. The motion was sgreed TO and
