NEURALGIA.

1t has been ascertained that the most inveier&te
cases of neuralgia are cured by Fellows Syrup Of
Hypophosphites Not only is the principal dis
ease eradieated, but the patient is made vigorous
and strong; the stomach, the blood, the skin, be-
come healthy, and he obtains a new lease of en-
joyabe life.
The only satisfactory treatment of neuralgia Is
by strengthening the nervous system. A person
with strong nerves never suffers from this dis
ease.
The virtues OF Fellows Compound Syrup of
Hypophosphites are such that other remedies are
seldom required.
The demsnd for Hypophosphite and other Phos-
phorus preparations st the present day - largely
owing TO the good effects and success following
the introduction of this article Ia the United

THE News is trying 10 create the inn
preston that there was something beyond
the surface in the selection of Mr.. Win 4.
English as Chairman of the Democratic
Township Convention last Saturday eve
ming. 1t simply meant that there was ma
jority of fifteen in favor of Mr.. English over
Mr.. Woollen-"only this and nothing
more" Mr.. English is very popular with
the young Democracy of the city-the ele-
ment which controlled the late Convention
and Mr.. Woollen had not been spoken of
in connection with the Craftsmanship one
half hour before the Convention met. When
he entered the hall a few minutes before
Mr.. Brown called the delegates to order, he
was asked if he would preside if elected, and
answered he would, but if there was to be
Bny contest over the matter not to present
his name. The selection of Mr.. English
was entirely agreeable to Mr.. Woollen, as
would no doubt his selection have been to
Mr.. English. The News can not make a
mountain out of a mole-hill.

than two years-ex-SenatOr Dorsey. in all
the pomp and pride and circumstance of
political warfare, had his headquarters in
this city, He was the observed of all OBJ

the State for Porter and Garfield. He not
emily had money, but wealth of resources
that eclipsed all the home bosses. He
promptly saw the importance of importing
voters from Illinois, and tried to arrange
conspiracy with one s. P. Conner to carry
out the project He saw with great prescience
the importance of voting double tickets, and
an accomplished professor was at once EN-
plOyed and Lessons given in the rooms of the
Republican Central Committee. The cleo
ton came off. Indiana was carried. and
honors, rich and abundant, were showered
upon Dorsey. He retired from the field of
his grand exploits with all the insignia of
triumph. From indianapolis he went to
New York, the great metropolis of the con-
tinent. A banquet was ordered at Delmon-
ico's. Dorsey was the central fgure. Around
him clustered such S]lustrieus men as

REPUBLICANS oRGANIz[NG.

The Republican State Central Committee
are sending circulars over the State to ed
itors of Republican newspapers. urging them
to advocate prompt and thorough organizs-
ton of the party as was done in 1880. Ii is
! stated that the Republican State Convention
will not be held until July, about the mid
die of the month Upon the subject of
local organization the circular says:
In the meantime it is earnestly urged that all
County, Township and Ward Committees be
called together and proceed without delay to the
work of reorganization in their respective localt
ties. on the general plan so successfully adopted
in the last campaign, and that they will actively
cooperate from this time forward with the State
Central Committee in putting every Precinct in
contest that is before us. Especial attention
should be given 20 young men who will
this year cast their first ballots; and
established IN every neighborhOod where they
can be maintained InnaFmOny and pickering in

honorable means used to convert to our cause
those who have Heretofore been throwing away
their votes on issues that no longer exist. This
work should be commenced at once and c0ntin-
ued with unceasing vigilance, for. whatever our
political adversaries may say 20 the contrary. in
telligent Republicans well understand that the
victory OF 1880 was achieved by thorough organ
izatlon. untiring zeal and legitimate effort among
the people. and not by ciap-trap or venality.
Our Democratic friends will observe that
Republicans are already at work-in fact,
have been for weeks past perfecting their or
carnations throughout the State We do
not apprehend that Democrats have been
supine, but as nothing can atone for the
want of thorough organization, the work can
not be begun too early nor prosecuted with
too much zeal

AN exchange says that an eight thousand
acre rancho, located near Leon Springs,
Bexar County, Texas, has been fitted for the
breeding of ponies for saddle purposes. The
owner proposes to raise Shetland ponies and
a particular spotted horse, which he claims
can be made paying business in the glori-
Gus climate of Texas. There are on the
rancho forty-five. Shetland mares and one
hundred Zacatecas ponies, all for breeding
purposes. The Zacatecas (Mexican) ponies
are a sma hardy race, raised in the noun
tains of Mexico, and are universally good
saddle ponies. These Zacatecas mares are all
spotted ponies, just suited for children. The
Shetland, Arab, and Zacatecas ponies are
hardy as goat, and cost no more to raise.
They roam over the large pastures like a
flock of sheep, and present a novel aspect.
They are very gentle; you can walk up TO
them anywhere and catch any one of them.

i'll disguised difficulty, when he said: "How
hardly shall they that have riches enter the
kingdom OF God. There is an impression
-" There he abruptly paused, a deathly
palor spread over his face, he closed his
eyes, wavered and was about to fall, when a
gentleman in the audience cried out to
those on the stage: Take hold of Mr..
Beecher. He is about to fall" He was i'm
mediately surrounded, and was soon taken
to his hotel. The indications were that the
great lecturer and preacher had reached the
end of his journey, but he has entirely re-
covered and is talking with his accustomed
energy. He has had a premonition, how
ever, which he will not be likely to disre-
gard.
