Is it worth While tt endure PENAL
torture every night from wakefuinesS,
inability to sleep, nervous prostration,
etc., when you can be immediately
relieved and permanently cured by so
agreeable a remedy as
SAMARITAN NERVINE.
Does it pay to be compelled, by
debility and languor, to abandon
active business when brain, nerve and
muscle can be braced up and the
whole system can be restored to a
healthy condition by a course Of
SAMARITAN NERVINE.
You nervous dyspeptics, why APP
proach the dinner table daily with
positive disgust for all that is sayory
and delicious, when a vigorous appe-
tite for even the plainest food is Gre
ated by the use of
SAMARITAN NERVINE.
Is it wise to live in this bright
world as though it were a dungeon,
constantly miserable and discontented,
when the worst case Of epilepsy,
nervousness or hypochondria is cured
In ninety days by such pleasant and
wholesome an exhilerant as
SAMARITAN NERVINE. B
Can it be possible that any person of
nervous temperament will run the
risk of apoplexy or paralysis when he
can tone and regulate the nervous
centers with
SAMARITAN NERVINE.
Is it not a species of moral insanity
for any merchant, mechanic, farmer or
traveller to be without the best knewn
antidote against disease,
SAMARITAN \ IRVINE.
Considering the h,rassing and de.
pressing nature Of the functional de-
rangement to which woman is subject,
is it not astonishing that any invalid
OF the feebler sex should hesitate to
seek the certain relief afforded in such
eases by the general operation of
SAMARITAN NERVINE.
These are questions Of deeper in.
terest than any Of the political dogmas
Of the day, aud those whom they con-
Germ are invited to give them some
thing more than passing thought.

Cor, e,pOpdOuoe s.. Louis Republieap

One and half miles east Of Rich
mOnd, Mo, is the home Of the Ford
boys. 1t is difficult Of access; deep
ravihes wind through and about the
farm-just the location to hide away
from the haunts Of men and to plot
deep aud damning conspiracy. For
two years Mr.. Howard (Jesse James,
has come and gone at his own sweet
will, and yet the neiehbors dreamed
not that the prince of brigands was SO
near. The Fords we're not neigh borly,
but Bob would often be seen on the
streets with strangers. lie was quiet,
genteel young man, with no habits
that could be Objectionable. Jim
Cummings was cousin to the Fords.
while Wood Hite was relative of
James. The taking off Of Cummings
was the act of either Hite or Jesse
Little and Bob Ford. it is now
almost fully established, charged Hite
with the deed; quarrel ensued
and he shot Little through the leg; in
turn, Ford put a bullet through the
brain Of Hite. knowing full we'll that
Jesse would retaliate for his cousin
death, Little lost no time in communi
eating with the Governor. A mid
night raid upon the Ford mansion
soon after by officers Of the law failed
to bag the game wanted. The Fords
complained at Kansas City Of the
understandable proceedings, but were
quickly silenced when informed thai
they had slain and buried Hite. The
secrets of the banditti were 70 Longer
hidden, and so the Fords felt that 4
was sauve qui peut. Then the sister
who was the sole woman OF the heuse
hould, hurried to Jefferson City anc
did tale unfold, and tho fate of less,
James was sealed. The Fords, guar
anteed immunity, went systematicall,
to work the capture or death eff thei
their chief. With the plausible stor,
of the treachery of Little, they wer
received into the family Of James
Then the traitors waited and watche,
and struck down the man they dar
not capture.

The american Murderer.

An Ohio man. a physician, who met
DR.. Lamson at Bucharest during the
Russo Turkish war, in connection
with the Red Cross service, writes to
the papers 10 say that aconite was one
Of Lsmson's hobbies. He gave it on
all occasions and in tremendous doses
and laughed at those who demonstrated
with him In fact he gave il to Dr.
Won Klein himself, who was afflicted
with neuralgia, greatly to his alarm
and his dispieasures at the treatment
disturbed their friendship for time.
DR.. Won Klein is Of opinion that DR..
Lamson has simply been trying his "a
vorite remedy on Percy John and has
tried it once too often. This Is a very
good theory, but it ought to have been
suggested to Lamson and his counsel
before the trial. The line OF defense
adopted precludes the admission that
aconite was administered at all.

THE New Orleans States Of Tue.

The New Orleans States of Tues
day says:
Captain Cowdon does not give up
the ship. He has the grit in him to
command success, although just at
this moment the outlet theory seems
to be more on paper than ever.
By the way, who was backing Cow
don anyhow? 1t is we'll known fact
that the good old fellow has not a dol
lar in the world, that he ever earned
in the line Of his business as steam
boatman. This is his misfortune, We
suppose, and not any fault. But the
continued appearance of the old gen.
tleman before Congress and the eOun-
try suggests an innocent inquiry as to
how he does it. Admitting that his
theories are plausible, which possibly
they are, we do not assume to
be able to decide aud pass upon such
a big question. who or what interest
keeps this question perpetually agi-
tated2 Newspaper discussion may be
gratuitous, bnt it is evident that Cap
tain Cowdon represents somebody
else 10 his continued opposition to the
jetty system.

Dr.. Mayo, distinguished educator,
who has given his time and service to
the South for two years, visiting
schools, talking to the children and
occurring to the people, will visit
Memphis shortly in the interest Of
popular education. His work in this
direction is of incalculable value, not
only in immediate educational re
suits and in awakening public interest,
but in the diffusion of valuable infor-
nation After his return to Boston last
year he addressed large audiences in
various parts of the country, giving
the results Of his observations, it is
stated, in a just and truthful manner,
and in kindly spirit. A Southern
lady, an active worker in the cause Of
education, heard him upon two OF
these occasions, and said afterFard
that she felt that he deserved the
warmest thanks Of every man, woman
and child in all the land. He has been
received everywherein the South with
earnest welcome, especially in Charles

portunity of showing her appreci-
alton Of the kindly spirit which has
brought him South. He has deliv-
cred, at various places, his lecture
upon Universal Education, and il has
been suggested that the Board Of
Education secure the theater for this
purpose. His work is gratuitous aud
his lectures free; hence he win be

The work Of Immigra,iou.

1t is learned from the report of the
United States Bureau Of Statistics,
that the number OF immigrants who
have arrived 10 this country since
1865 reached the enormous figure OF
6,703,9l9. 1t is safe TO assume, on
this basis, that during the last
half century over ten million
immigrants have arrived in this
country, or oue-6ith of the entire
population of the United States at the
present time. Of course, it is Just TO
assume that there has been a large
increase among the immigrants proper,
so that the immigrant population
at present must be far
in EXCESS Of one fifth of
the total. No better evidence of the
cosmopolitan nature Of our people
could be adduced. And the most
satisfactory part Of it is that the ma
jority Of the immigrants who come to
our shores are thrifty and industrious,
and have raised and are raising
progeny that makes good citizens. The
vast and growing cities OF the West,
the enormous wheat farms and cattle
ranches, are the handiwork of immi-
grants, and it is the admixture of the
sturdy races Of Europe, added to the
restless energy Of our own people, that
has made us one Of the most prosper.
