AMERICA AHEAD.
Peculiar characteristics of Amer
icanS-The Evils and How
ReStO ed

Tn this age of hustle and hurry, an age de-
voted to great projects and enterprises, the
American people are taking the lead in the
furtherance of noble works and in the ADVANCE
ment of the sciences and arts. In these they
deserve to take a high rank, and through
united works of millions, the American conti-
nent is fast being transformed from its untamed
state and being placed on an equality with the
older continents beyond the ocean. The Amer
lean people are fast under those influences, de-
veloping into a nervous, energetic race, re-
markable for its vim and business qualihca-
tions; yet there is danger that in the course of
years these very elements may combine to the
ruination of the physical character of the peo
pie. and leave them feeble and altogether diff
ferent from their forefathers. General debility
is now much more common than formerly,
and seems to be on the increase among the
masses. Many remedies have been extensively
advertised for this wide spread complaint, but
none of these have been so successful. Mr.. S.
S. Goudy, of Massillon, Stark county, Ohio,
writes that he had been troubled with general
debility and dyspepsia for several years; that
he was induced to try Peruna for his COM
plants, and that after using three bottles OF
the medicine he was greatly relieved. 1t
braced him right up and gave him energy, and
restored him to his youthful vigor, He
ascribes his cure to Peruna, and says it is
wonderful remedy.

The Mcconnell Suicide.

Mrs. Melissa Mcconnell, decd, who
made her home of late with her brother Chas.
Christy, of Slipperyrock township, cut her
throat with razor on the morning of the 18th,
inst, and died that evening. The razor sepa
rated the jugular vein and the esophagus, but
did not reach the large artery farther in or
death would have been clmost ;u;meds te.
Mrs MoGonneli's mind hastbeen deranged for
some time, she had attempted suicide before,
and it is due to Mr.. Christy and his family to
say that they took every precaution regarding
her. Where she got the razor is mystery to
them as they had never seen it before. She
leaves no children, and was buried in the Cen
trevile cemetery, Sunday afternoon.

MR.. BLAINE's FORTHCOMING BOOK.

Judging from the comments on every hand,
we are not surprised to learn that the publica-
ton of Hon. James G.. Blaines book, "Twenty
Years of Congress, from Lincoln to Garfield
is awaited with anxious interest throughout the
country. He has for months been giving him
self to the task OF narrating the history of those
momentous and decisive legislative events
which crowd SO thickly between 1861 and 1881,
in which he himself bore part Mr. Blaine
is now in the prime of his powers, untrammeled
by the constraints of Office, and sufficiently re-
mote from the events to insure cool perception
and impartial treatment. Coming from man
so thoroughly fitted for the work, and who
clothes with living interest all that he touches,
the appearance of this work will be an event of
national Importance. Possessing greater COM
bined political, historical and personal interest
than any other work of the century, it is GER
tain to be one of the most popular as well as
one of the most valuable books ever offered to
the public.
The work will be issued in two royal octave
volumes of about 600 pages each. 1t will be
illustrated with fine steel portraits of the lead
ing men of the time of which it treats, admir-
ably arranged in groups. One volume will be
devoted to the administrations of Lincoln and
johnson, and the other to those of Grant
Hayes and Garfield. The work is to be sold
only by subscription, and the subscriptions al
ready taken indicate an immense edition at the
start.
