The blood cannot properly perform its
function when loaded with impurities, because
it is thick and sluggish, and every person
needs at times something to cleanse and
quicken the vital current. DIR. J. c. Ayers
Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla meets this
want perfectly, and his discovery of this COM
pound ranks as important In preserving the
blood in healthy condition as dose that of
VIM, Harvey in demonstrating its circulatory
action. Nothing else so vitalizes. purifies
and enriches the blood as Ayers Sarsaparilla
1t is perfect blood and nerve food. 1t never
disturbs the stomach, but greatly assists and
promotes the digestion and assimilation of all
nutriments. and increases their power to
sustain and nourish the body. In renovating
the blood it clears and quickens the intellect.
and thus gives to both mind and body the
power Of long sustained, arduousand success

fnatiOn of C0nklinE.

CHICAGO, March /.
The following remarkable protest was sent
by Mrs. Scoville to Washington, last Satur-
dav. the bearer being gentleman:
CHICAGO, Feb. %.
To the United States Senate:
Roscoe Conkling for the supreme bench of
the United States? How dare anybody give
such a preference to the man, who, of all
others, should be punished with the execra-
ton of his countrymen and of the world for
the untold sorrow and humiliation we have
suffered. Can they Believe that the convic-
ton of poor crazy Guiteau, lynched by the
process of law, will so cover their own nefa-
rious record, that the blinded nation and the
world will NO more see their iniquity, but
quietly consent to bUw down submissive
" to MY Lord Conkling when he shall as
sumo the judicial ermine of the highest court
in the land, the court of last resort; if such
things are to be, where are our boosted lib
erties:'
She then refers to the intense political agi-
tation preceding the assassination, which she
alleges turned Guiteau's head. She closes as
follows:
Have we not already suffered enough
from Roscoe Conkling? l protest in the
name of an outraged public opinion that this
man shall not be allowed the honor and profit
of great political preferment. while odium
is heaped upon the poor victim of political
craze. protest against the dragging of the
spotless judicial ermine into the horrible
filth of a political faction which nearly dis
rupted the country. and caused the ter
rible excitement which led to the dis
astrous infaming of an already dis
tracted mind. l protest in the name
of the widowed wife and mother, whose
mourning is thus Knocked by the enemies of
the dead President. protest against the ap-
pointment of the imperious demagogue who,
above all others, was the chief cause of the
degrading strife which eliminated in the
death which the nation mourns. protest in
the name Of that justice which should be
equal to all, that this man shall not be ele-
waited to that high position which may enable
him to pass final judgment upon the fate of
my poor insane brother"

MEMPHIS. March /.
From Cairo. Illinois, to Vicksburg there is
scarcely thing to be seen but watery waste
extending. in many localities, fifteen miles
into the interior, from either bank The
damage to farming interests cannot now be
estimated. Thousands of cattle and other
stock have been drowned, and hundreds are
daily dying of starvation. The inhabitants
of the bottom lands have been driven from
their homes. and are now existing, as best
they may, on bridges, where hastily built
huts afford them shelter, and where they
would soon starve were not feed provided.
CAIRO, March l.
The situation is decidedly changed for the
better. The Ohio river fell about three
inches and the Mississippi four. A rise re-
ported above, it is thought, will partly check
the fall now. The levees still hold firm. and
everything looks brighter. Business is pick
ing up and the general feeling is that Cairo
is safe. The weather is clear and pleasant
this morning.

A cure at last.-Specifics without number
for the cure of Catarrh have been extensively
advertised. and doubtless there is some virtue
in them all. but the evidence is overwhelm-
ing that Ely's Cream Balm goes more directly
than any other to the seat of the disease, and
though it is n comparatively new discovery,
it has resulted in more cures within the range
of our observation than all the others put to-
gether. Wilkesbarre, Pa. Union Leader,
Dec. 10, 1879.
1t is noexaggeration to say that Ely's Cream
Balm is a cure for Catarrh, Hay Fever, &C.,
for many cures have been made among my
customers. Cream Balm should be restored
to by everyone thus afflicted. With me no
other remedy has ever equaled the Balm
