Many persons are bitterly opposed
to patent medicines" and will rarely
use them at all. There is no doubt
that many are worthless, yet a rem
edy that has stood the test for years,
like DR.. Sherman's Prickly Ash Bit
tiers, and its sale and popularity in
creasing every day, must have merit
or it would have disappeared long
since. eodSW

Drs. Tobin:
Your "Hepatozone" as a gentle
plTgative has no equal. 1t moves
the bowels without making the pa
tient feel sick, weak or languid. 1t
is often the case that we feel a little
bilious, have some headache perhaps,
and are feeling unwell generally, and
only need an easy purgative to relieve
us: your "Hepatozone' is the medi-
cine for that condition. 1 relieved a
case of dysentery with it in a very
short time. We use it largely in this
institution. FRANK RA-NEY,

Ia the early psrt of this century European
mothers used to brighten their children by
threatening that Blnapsrte should have
them. It is lsughable to see the monopolisis
to-day trying the same system with the tariff
reformers, telling them that Gen Grant shall
have them. This is the literal fact. We
have before US protectionist paper that de-
clsres that Grant is at the head of power
full syndicate operating in Mexico; that they
have got up the Mexican treaty; that the
Mexican governmental fin nces are very low;
that Gen. Disz's late visit to this country
was to procure loan; that he is high in
favor with Grants Mexican clique; that
scheme is on foot to make him the next
president of Mexico; that with him as their
creature the clique will have immense
influence; that thus Grant will rule
Mexico through Diaz; that col
lapse will occur in Mexican finances;
that then American fnanciers will
establish American banks and control the
Mexican finances; that a-then-the article
shrinks from saying what, hut after thus
dsrkly threatening the Americans with
Grant, our protectionist contemporary con-
cludes as follows: "There is no doubt a fine
speculation brewing. TIE Senate had better
look closely into this Mexican treaty. Under
cover of the specious plea of the extension Of
American trade, there is an assolute advan-
tage to some man or company of men, who
care nothing about the general extension Ct
trade only SO far as it may bring advantages
to them" Pay your sugar. tax, or Gen.
Grant shall have you.

TEWKSBURY TALES.
Gov. Batter Evidently Determined to
Make a Thorough Expose.

BOSTON, May 3-Dr. c. s. Martin testified
at the Tewksbury examination to-day
that ne was student al the Harvard Medi-
cal School from 1871 TO 1874. No babies
were even dissected there, aud no infants
bodies ever brought in but once. No dogs or
cats we're ever dIssscted, consequently their
rem ANS never mingled with those Of human
beings, Is asserted inNprevious testimony.
About SO was paid for bodies. He knew
nothing OF the disposition of the remains al
ter dissection.
Loreszo s. Fairbanks testified that he had
examined The books in which Charles 3.
Marsh had recorded the money OF pa,ieats,
and there are ffty-four erasures and alters-
tions, forly-seven of which were of figures in
money columns. These books cover from
1868, but for the first ten years Of the pres
ent No management no books can be found.
The governor then took the history book,
and read that IN inmate named Allen had
died 10 1877, leaving SAC. On the money
books Aliens assets appeared ss 81, ana the
book erssure as if changed from SAC. An
other book showed that 81 wss paid 10 the
State. Jsne McGraty took $29 90 to TeUks-
bury, but was credited with SO 81, and the
book showed that an erasure had been made
in the most suspicious manner. Elizabeth
Barry was credited with 81 in the history
book, but on the money book the figure "a
had been altered 10 IL.
Fairbanks testified to a number of entrieF
on the money book in relation 10 the assets
OF other patients. The erasures had been
made most skilliully SO ss to make the
amounts less than originally entered.

MCKENZIE, May FL founnd the little
city OF Nc Keuzie in mourning for the death
OF young Gilbert, who died Monday evening
last. He was one OF the most promising
young men of this place, loved and respected
by all who kaew him for his gentle, manly
bearing and moral worth.
Tomorrow evening at s O'CLOCK will wit
ness the nuptials OF Mr.. Noel Collier, of
Cincinnati, and Miss Lou Allen, OF this
place. Mr.. Collier is young man of su-
perior business qualifications and genial
gentleman, and is TO be congratulated on his
good fortune in obtaining one OF the fairest
and most fascinating young ladies of this
place for life partner.
McKsszie is located at the crossing OF the
Louisville and Nashville ard The North
western railroads, aud does az immense bar
ter business in cotton and country produce.
The trade is divided with Louisville, Nash
vile and Memphis, but with equal tariff
on freigbts Memphis would get it all. There
ia strong sentiment in tavor OF Memphis
on this road, and every business man speaks
confidently Of her future greatness. Mr.. T..
Collier, one of the most successful business
meB Of Tennessee, remarked the other day
in conversation with a gentleman from New
York that he had recently come into posses
sion OF ten acres OF land 10 Memphis, and
hat he had go much confidence in the com.
ing prosperity of that city that he could not
be induced TO sell it at any price. He has
already commenced improving his property,
and considers it the best investment he ever
made.
There is some Improvement in this place.
The Mckenzie House, which ia one OF the
finest buildings on this road, has been recent
ly leased by Ell NJ. Russell and the entire
house renovated and refurnished. The third
story will be fitted up for summer visitors to
the Cold Water Springs, three miles north of
Mckenzie. Mr. Russell is an experienced
hotel man, and it is not surprising that the
Mckenzie House has the reputation Of being
the best on the road. TRAVIS.

A RITUAL FOR METHODISTs.
The Eew Departure Made by BaIti-
more COBgrt CATION.

BALTIMORE, May There is considerable
talk in the Methodist Church circles of this
city over new departure made by the
Mount Vernon church, the most fashionable
and the wealthiest congregation of Baltimore.
This is the church OF which the Rev. Thomas
Guard was pastor at The time of his DEATH
The Rev. DR.. Felton, formerly of st. Louis,
ia his successor, and he has led the new
movement waich has resulted in lhs intro
duction of ritual somewhat on the Episco-
pslian order, This ritual was used for the
first time at the service on Sunday, and lit
tie else was talked about by the copgrega-
ton. II includes the chant Of the "Gloria
Palri," the Psalter, spd the recital by the
congregation OF the Apostles, Creed. Although
printed cards were placed in the pews giving
the order of service, yet there were some
slight bitches, ard at one point the pastor
was obliged to rise to continue the service.
DR.. FELTON, spoke of the objection TO the
ritual which had been made by some, snd
said that if, after fair trial, it did not prove
satisfactory it would be discarded. Ii has
been unanimously adopted by the Board OF
Trustees of the church, but some of the
members object 10 it, while many Of the old
time Methodists OF other churches have pro-
ies,ed against it as step toward Episcopa-
lianism. One OF the Methodist Church
papers here has condemned it in psin
terms. The ritual, however, is authorized
by the Book of Discipline, and it is used by
several Methodist churches in other large
cities

ON Cotton.

Special Correspondence OF the Appeal
DELTA, MISS, April 30.--As the APPEAL
has ever taken lively interest in the river
country and its people, l trust you will ex-
tend the courtesy OF space for statement Of
the situation as it exists in the bottom now,
and by that means reach the ear and heart
Of the more fortunate people of the high lands
10 Mississippi. 1t perhaps Is not known to
the people generally that there hiss been
four oyeIhows in fourteen months; two very
destructive ard disastrous, and two partial,
but all bad enough. Many Of the most val
uabe farms in the bottom are from one to ten
feet under water. The people see nothing
cheering in the future, and the laborers who
are easily discouraged have left by the hum
dreds. Properly has deprecisied one-hslf
10 value since tae levees broke. To illus-
trate, plantation that has brought yearly
rental of $1,000 now only pays the
taxes for rent. The most stubborn oppo-
nents OF levees now say something must be
done for protection, and we wish 10 cay 10
the people in the high lands in Mississippi
that We earnestly AK them to favor an extra
term of the Legislature, 70 the people in the
river counties may have an opportunity 70
tax themselves for self-protection. The peo-
pie in the bottom intend to rebuild the leveess
and that, too, at sn early day, provided our
cousins in the hills will meet IA at Jsckson
and l.galizs what we propose TO do. This is
one of the finest farming countries in the
world when protected, but will soon be
wild waste If the river is allowed to overflow
it twice year. Nothing can be done with
out leVses; no internal improvements can 60
on. There are no roads, no bridges. A
traveller can't cross the bottom in low-water
season for want of bridges The railroads
through the bottom can't be kept up. This
fact has been clearly demonstrated In the
case OF the Mobile and Northwestern rail-
road. Its president, Col. Tom Lyon, a far
seeing, intelligent gentleman, has spent large
sums of money and done much
hard labor on his road, only to
have it swept away by the foods.
1t is now an indisputable fact that the peo-
pie will have to build the levees themselves.
The Republican Congress was too mean to
carry to completion any good work, and We
have nothing 70 hope for from stlagy timid
Democratic Congress-; 30 there ID no alterna-
tive but 10 help ourselves. Tax the cotton
and The land, and rebuild the Ievees; con-
soIidat the two districts into one; make
some practical man its president; keep the
wagons off the levees, and adj will be we'll.
The leyees are not failure, but they evil
deuce either fraud or incapacity, or both,
on the part of the engineers; and where
the soil is worked viii We fiod high, broad
leyees-the reverse is found in still land
hard to work and covered with large tim.
Der. You often find difference of four
feet, BY water-level, in half a mile. The
csving of the banks is tbs only thing that
should dsmsge or break levees.

Mr.. Bennett Navigating Alone.

Mr.. Gordon Bennert's steam yacht Ma
mouna has had very narrow escape from
being totally lost at Villeiranche. 1t appears
that Mr.. Bennett, having ordered steam to be
got up, put his captain and mate on shore,
taking charge himself for the avowed pur-
pose Of showing them how to hsudle yacht.
Stesming out of the hsrhor of Villefranche
she all but collided with the French gun
boat Hyene; once outside the mole, the Ma
mouns was steered straight for the railway
station at Viilefranche, and in consequence
ran full speed ashore in a very few momeuts.
Fortunately, the beach where she struck was
composed chiefly of ssnd; hence after dis.
charging some forty tons of coal and stores,
she was got off by some tugboats dispatched
from Nice, apparently without having sus.
taiaed any serious damage. The gunboat
Hyene offered assistance, which, it ia under
stood, was declined, Mr.. Bennett stating that
he rsn the vessel ashore for his OWE smuse-
ment.
