A Baptist Ministers Experience.

II Am q Baptist minister. and before l
thought Of being II clergyman l graduated
in medicine, but left a lucrative practice
for my present profession, forty years age.
l was for many years a suff srer from
quinsy: Thomas Electric oil cured me.
I was also troubled with hoarseness. and
Thomas Eciect.i c Oil always relieved me.
MY VITO and child had diphtheria, and
Thomas Eclectric nil cuIed them, and If
taken In time it will cure seven times out
of ten. l am confident it is q cure for the
most obstinate cold, or cough, and II any
bne will take a small teaspoon and half
fill it with oil, and then place the end of
che spoon in one n~ostril, and draw the
oil out of the spoon into the head, by
shifting as hard as they can, until the oil
falls over into the throat, and practice it
twice a week, l don't care how offensive
their head may be, it will clean it out and
cure their catarrh. For deafness and ear
ache, it has done wonders to my certain
knowledge. 1t is the only medicine
dubbed patent medicine that l have ever
felt like recommending. and l am very
anxious to see it in every place, for l tell
| you that l would not be without it in my
h use for any consideration. l am now
suffering with q pain like rheumatism in
ny right limb, and nothing relieves me
like Thomas Eciectric OIL" Dr. L. f.

DEMOCRATIC rRosnEcrs IN low

A few years ago the democrats of Iowa
would have deemed impossible such Il
thing as the overthrow of republieanism
In that state. 1t is significant of the
change that has come over the politics of
the country that such an event is no longer
outside the range of probabilities. Demo
Gratis confidently expectt and republicans
fear it, The democrats are proving the
sincerity of their anticipations by the
efforts they are making in the present
canvass; men who are without hope do
not commonly labor so hard
Of course the prohibition question is
uppermost in the public discussions, but
there are other topics of even more vital
interest to the voters, which will enter to
no small degree in the final result Fore
most among these is the question of tariff
reform. Republican voters may tell the
farmers of Iowa that the most important
question they have to decide is beer OF
no beer, but their words fall upon
idle ears. They know that for everything
they buy they must pay an enormous
tribute to the manufacturers through the
protective policy of the republican party,
while they themselves receive no plo
lection whatever. On the contrary
through extortionate freight rates and
unjust determinations of the vast rail
road corporations, the price of their grair
and stock is reduced. The evils of bee
drinking are not very apparent in thu
rural districts where very little liquor il
sold any way. but the injustice of taxing
tie people over one hundred million dol
lars year beyond the needs of the gov
eminent, solely for the benefit of the pro
tected capitalists of the east, is eviden
to the dullest understanding.
Not only therefore do the democrat
expect tocarry Iowa this year. but strau
ger yet, they hope with good reason, t
do so with the assistance of the rurs
districts, which have hitherto been tn
Gibraltar of republication.

Within the past three months Mrs. Glen has
broken down perceptibly, for in the spring
her husband, who had stuck to her through
all her trials, abandoned her and procured a
divorce. Since then she has been morose
and detected, and the prison officials think
that no further trouble need be apprehend-
ed from her. When the divorce was grant
ed she threatened revenge by making con-
fession that would implicate her husband in
her various crimes, but it never came
and probably never will. He is now in the
far West, she does not know where, and
SAYS she does not care. During the last few
weeks her imprisonment has been irksome
to her, and she has complained of her
health. By good conduct her term was
shortened over six months, and Wednesday
morning she was told that she might go.
Her son by former marriage, Albert Pal
ton, went to the prison after his mother and
brought her to his home in this city, where
she will remain. She is now fifty-three
years old, and prematurely gray and bag
gard She positively refuses to see any re-
porters or say anything for publication
whatever

CoLUAHIA, 5. c., Sept. a.
A singular suit has been brought in this
circuit by d. G. Griffith, administrator of
the estate of W. S. Hook, deceased, against
the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Rail-
road Company. About eighteenmonths ago
negro named Squire Clark was tried in
Lexington for the murder of w. S. Hook,
convicted, and sentenced to be hanged
Clark was convicted on the most fiimsy cir
cunstantial evidence, but obtained new
trial, and aad to be brought to Columbia for
safe-keeping from mob of lynchers in the
meantime. He was convicted at the sec
ond trial, in the face of the charge OF
the court, and again brought here for safety.
His punishment was committed to imprison-
ment for life. Clark was charged with kill
ing Hook, and then placing the body on the
railroad track, over which three trains
passed, horribly mutilating the remains. Suit
is brought TO recover damages done to the
corpse. The plaintiff charges negligence on
the part of the railroad company in permit
ting such mutilatiOn, and he claims that there
is property in dead body as well as the
clothes it may wear. Both plaintiff and de
PENDANT are represented by the best of legal
talent, and the suit eXcites much interest
