Arresting Disease.

What we would particularly impress
upon invalids and their friends, is the
value of Compound Oxygen in aTresting
disease in its early stages and before
chronic conditions have been establish
ed. 1t must be evident to the common
sense of every one, that an agent which
acts so pOtently in breaking the force
of diseases which have been at work
upon the system and have been exhaust
ing it for years, can scarcely fail to az
rest like diseases in their beginning,
and when the vitality of the body has
not been wasted. If, therefore, you
have the early symptoms of Consump-
tiOn, CataTrh. Bronchitis, Neuralgia, or
the indications of any other disease
which may keep its hold upon you until
it becomes chronic, do not neglect the
warning indications. Meet the enemy
upon the very threshold, and while your
vitality is yet unimpaired. If your reg
ulaT physician fails to reach the case,
then we offer yOu,in Compound Oxygen,
an almost certain means of restoration
the way back to health-the agent
that may save you from life of invalid
ism, or from premature death. Our
Treatise on Compound Oxygen, with
large reports of cases, and full inform

Don't Be Silly.

Don't let a foolish prejudice against
popular medicines stand between you

sands and it will help you. If you are
sick and miserable, we advise you to
then write to the Doctor, at ROndout, N.

Kidney complaints of all descriptions

nature for the cure of all diseases of the
kidneys caused by weakness and debili-

of diseases. We know of persons that
have suffered for thirty years that have
been permanently cured by taking Kid

tenth of the people of this country,
when aroused to the assertion of their
rights, will consent to surrender them
tO1the control of a central deSpOtism
controlled by the money power. The peo-
pie believe in their capacity for self
government, in their ability to provide
for education, the cultivation of the
soil, their domestic peace and local
affairs, without the supervision of
great central power, which imposes
burdens for It's own aggr&ndlZement,
and by unjust and unequal laws COM
pels the many to pay tribute to the few.
We have only to sound the alarm. Let
the cry go forth that loyal self-gOYern-
ment is in danger, that vast mOneyed
mOnOpOlies are eXacting unjust tribute,
that corporations, created for purely
private purposes, are destroying lnul-
Yidual liberty, and, like fire bell at
night, it will awaken the people TO their
danger, will rouse them to Vlndlca-
tion of their rights and to the establish
ment of our political structure on the
foundations where our fathers placed
it, securing to the citizens individual
liberty, to the State the management of
its domestic affairs, and to the nation
all the powers necessary to preserve the
Union and protect US as a people from
foreign aggression.
THE GROWTH OF MONOPoLIES.
Judge Doolittles remarks on the sub
ject Of mOnopOlies were received with
great applause. He said, among other
things. While our people have been
fighting for the Union and to put down
one species of monopoly in the form of
negro slavery, there has suddenly grown
up in this republic an empire of con-
federated railways, an empire of gigan-
tic, and, if they claim, of irresponsible
powers, reaching from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, which threatens to reYOlu-
tioniZe the Government and to enslave
us all, east and west, north and south,
white and black. These confederate
railways not only tax the commerce of
the people to enrich themselves, but
spend large sums to control elections
and to influence legislation. In 1868
one railroad alone spent more than ST.
100000 for that purpose, ana charged 1t
to the India rubber account" of extra
and legal services" They not only seek
to control elections and judicial appoint
ments, but to control improperly judi
cial decisions. A man of standing be-
fore the Committee Of Commerce at
Washington in January, 1880, said that
railway in the Supreme Court
threaten that Court with the dis
pleasure of his clients if it decided
against them. We do not wonder that
he added, "All the blood in my body
tingled with shame at the humi iating
spectacle"
Judge DOOlittle cited the Standard Oil
Company, the Chinese Six Companies,
the Mormon Church, and the prohibit Q
tariff as other mOnOpOlies, which it was
the duty of the Democratic party to
wipe out.
The speech making lasted late into
the night, and it was morning before
the crowd had entirely dispersed.

The principal moal was in the after
noon or near evening, and the dinner
consisted of from three TO seven cour-
ses, according to the Importance.
There were fish, fruits, meats, vegeta-
bles, cake and the best wine, with
which healths were accustomed to be
drank
The fruits were apples, pears, figs
and plums, and this course was follow
cd by nuts. In place of butter they
used oil, but their bread was as light
and white as any we are accustomed
to. In rich families the dishes were of
gold and silver, ornamented with prec-
ious stones, while the poor had only
earthern ware.
The same athletic exercises that we
have were practiced, and Iprize fights
and horse races were com mon.
vi the great games, chess, checkers
and backgammon were the most in use
and gambling was fully as much prac-
ticcd then as now.
In the schools, series of progressive
primers were used; arithmetic was
studied after our manner; many of
the same propositions in geometry
were learned, and the scholars studied
Greek, by means of a lexicon and
grammar. Compositions also had to
be written and punishment was adj
by logging.

The SYMPTOMS.
First notice if he sits alone

First notice if he sits alone
And meditatcs or writes lot,
Or talks in an distracted tone,
Or walks about at nights lot;
observe if he delights to wade
Through multitudes of "spooDy" verse,
And if he hints certain maid
Is peerless in the universe.
And also note if he awaits
The postman's coming eagerly,
And if he often vows the fatcs
Arc smiling on him meagerly;
Observe if he appears TO pine,
AS though affairs were gricving him;
And if he's disinclned to dine,
And appetite seems leaving him.
If ever and anon he groans
With sObs and sighs mysterious,
And mutters in distracted tones,
Bc sure his state is serious.
And if he raves of some "sweet dove"
And gazes on carte at times,
You1l know he's suffering from love,
Which much affects the heart at times.
Your treatment must at first bo mild
Don't rashly mar his ''mooniness;"
a mans as helpless as child
When suflerirc- r~o,., a.
iaUve's patients nc'er like being chancd,
Although they show inanity;
Just give him wcdlock, that's the draught
To bring him back to sanity.

An abstract of an address by Prof.
Austin TO the graded schoo ol on Friday,
Oct. IS, by one of the pupils.
The Rome that we shall explore TO-
doy is not the modern city, bnt Rome
as ii stood 1850 years ago. We shall
expect to find everything strange, and
in measure our expectations will be
realized, still there will be many things
that are perfectly familiar to Us and
lust as we see them now.
If we had visited the city at that
long ago time, we should have listened
to strange language and seen a
strange style of architecture. The re-
ligion, the public life and the home
life were very different from ours, and
vet the old Romans were like MS in ma
ture after all.
Tho Roman streets were named and
the names were posted at the corners,
as now -a-days; the houses were mum.
bered Just the same, only instead of our
figures they used the Roman numerals.
Most of the streets were divided into Il
roadway and sidewalks, the latter be-
ing elevated about foot above the
roadway and paved with bricks, while
the roadway was paved with cobblc
stones. In front of some of the ele-
CANT mansions, the sidewalks were
laid in mosaic. The crossings were
made of strong, broad stones and were
about the height of the sidewalks, Sc
that in passing, one could walk along
high and dry and not be obliged tC
step down in the mud as in our times.
Beggars were to be found there an(

The people of this state, and the
readers of the Nashville American es-
pecially, will regret the retirement of
Mr.. H. M. Doak from the chair of
leading editor of that paper. A
change of propiietorship (and, we
suppose, a change of policy of the
paper makes the step necessary. Mr..
Doak is one of the most dignified end
highly cultivated newspaper writers
in the country, and has probably con.
tributed more to the national fame OF
the American than any man ever con-
nected with it. This we know is a
bold assertion, for that paper has num-
bered some of the ablest writers of the
country among its editors. In bis
parting card Mr.. Doak says;
/ have been engaged in journalism
for twelve years,six of these upon the
American. During that time have
endeavored to maintain a high stand
ard, to advocate a lofty public policy,
to bring about that of which Tennes'
scans a century hence would not be
ashamed. / have endeavored to main
tain the worlds stannard, to treat this
State as a part of the world, and all in.
terest, las closely interlinked into one. !
have avoided the current agrarianism.
That which the stump has told me
was popular opinion have braved
not as setting myself against the peo-
pie, but because | believe better
things of the people. The substantial
support the American has had con-
vinces me that have not erred in
supposing that there is support il
Tennessee for conservative views.
