EVEN the recent awful destruction in
the Island of of Ischia pales into insig-
niticance as compared with the terrible
convulsions of nature which visited the
island of Java and its neighboring isl
ands on the 25th of August. 1t was an
appalling disaster. A series of volcanoes
burst into flame from the rocky chain
which extends the whole length of the
island. There were forty-iive craters on
the island, and more than one-third of
them was in active operation. There
were rapidly succeeding explosions, fol-
lowed by tremendous showers of einders
and enormous fragments which were
hurled high into the air and scattered
in all directions, to fall, after the force
was spent, upon the valleys below, car
rying death and destruction. With these
terrible eruptions came sympathetic
demonstrations from the sea. Men, wo-
men and children rushed in terror from
their tottering dwelling places, filling
the air with their shrieks of horror
Hundreds were unable to get out before
the houses fell, and were buried beneath
The great masses of rocks and mud. The
loss of life has been enormous-the vic
tins being numbered by thousands.
Java is the most fertile and prosper
Gus tropical island in the world 1t
supports a population as dense as that
Of the most populous European coun-
tries; in round Numbers over nineteen
millions of souls on forty-nine thousand
sqnare miles. Ohio, for comparison, has
an area of $4,000 square miles. Java
lies south of Borneo, and is the fourth
island of the East India archipelago, in
point of size being exceeded in area by
Borneo, Sumatra and Celebes. A range
of mountains runs from one end of the
island to the other, through the center.
The volcanoes are in these mountains
In the lowlands there are mud volcanoes
A range of mountains skirts the south
coast. Java is one of the principal cof-
fee growing countries of the world.

tain that he has gone East. ostensibly

er family physician, at Philadelphia,
with view of restoring his shattered
system by rest and change. Some peo-
pie are unchartable enough to suspect
that the real reason for the Judges ab

mouth in the canvass. 1t is a part of
the program of the Democratic mana
gers, vino have come to realize that his

full of egregiOus blunders. Republicans

POSTAL NOTE>.-The new postal notes
went into Use on Monday, and may be OBJ
tanned at the post Office. These notes are
not intended to take the place of money
orders. as some suppose, but are an addi-
tienal convenience to the public in send
ing fractional sums of less than SIS, at
less expense. The notes are about the
size of dollar greenback, and are of a
light lemon color. They are a govern
ment promise to pay the bearer, and are
therefore no safer for transmittal through
the mails than other paper money, and are
payable only at the office where
they are bought or for which they
are bought. They are good for three
months, and at the end of that time
must be renewed at the office where Or
iginally obtained before redeemable.

Organize.

While it is true that the political
drift in Ohio is favorable to the Repub
licans and the belief prevails that the
party is destined to win glorious vic
tory in October, it is not safe for Re-
publicans to take anything for granted
The State last year WIS lost through apa
thy which kept at home eighty thousand
Republicans. Some of these stay-at,
homes were in Belmont county. 1t is
the duty of Republicans in each town
ship, ward and precinct, to organize at
once. thoroughly, with d view of secur-
ing the attendance of every Republican
voter in the county at the polls on elec-
tion day. Every Republican should con-
stitute himself missionary to labor
with the doubling and wavering of all
parties. and endeavor to bring them to
a full knowledge of the truth as taught
by and through the Republican creed
Only few weeks remain in which to
accomplish this important work. We
hope that the young men Of Belmont,
who enlisted so gailantly under the
standard of Garfield, as we'll as the
veterans who have stood the brunt of
many hot contest, will realize the
situation and do all in their power to
help swell the Republican column in
October

The Cry About Wool.
Gin. Com. Gail

Gin. Com Gaz.
We are not aware that anything has
ever happened in politics more gro
tesque than the Democratic Outcry
about the failure to protect wool.
1t is true the right thing was not
done, and, as usual, the Democrats were
in fault.
Senator Sherman and the Republican
members of the House from Ohio were
opposed to the treatment of wool in the
Tariff and Internal Revenue Bill, but
the Democrats had obstructed legisla-
tion until in the last hours of Congress
it was question whether to vote to re-
wise the tariff and reduce the burdens of
taxation or not, and ae affirmative an
swer was the wise one, though the de-
tails were Objectionable.
In his Lincoln Club speech Friday
night last, Senator Sherman said:
"The Democrats lin the Senate) voted
solidly in favor of reducing the tariff on
wool down to one-half of what we have
left it-every one of them that the
Democrats voted against the proposition
made by me to leave the duty on wool
as it was before, where [ think it ought
to have been left; and it was by a vote
of Democrats and about twelve New
England Senators that the wool of the
sheep of Ohio was ShOrn two cents d
pound and yet Brother Hoadly tells the
people of Ohio that their only chance to
get back the tariff on wool is by the
election of the Democratic party, when
every Democrat in the Senate, and near
ly every Democrat in the House, had
voted to roduce the duty on wool to
twenty per centum ad valorem as d rev
enue tariff"

SCROFULA

and all scrofulous diseases, Sores, Erysipelas,
Eczema, BIOtches, Ringworm, Tumors, Car
buncles, BOils, and EruptiOns of the Skin,
are the direct result of an impure state of the
blood.
To cure these diseases the blood must be puri-
fed, and restored TO healthy and natural condi-
ton. AYERS SARsAPARILLA has for over forty
years been recognized by eminent medical
thorities as the most powerful blood purifier in
existence. 1t frees the system from all foul hu-
mors, enriches and strengthens the blood, removes
all traces of mercurial treatment, and proves it
self complete master of all scrofulous diseases.
A Recent Cure of Scrofulous Sores.
"Some months ago was troubled with scrofu-
l0us sores ulcers on my legs. The limbs
badly swollen and nflamed, and the sores dis
charged large quantities Of offensive matter.
Every remedy tried failed, until used YER's
SARsAPARILLA of which have taken three
bottles with the result that the sores are healed,
and my general health greatly improved. feel
very grateful for the good your medicine has done
me. Yours respectfully, Mrs ANN O'BRIAN."
14s Sullivan ST., New York, June a, 1SS2.
Eg~ All persons Interested are invited to
call on Mrs. O'Brian; also upon the Rev. u.
City, who will take pleasure in testifying to
the wonderful efficacy of Ayers Sarsaparil-
la, not only in the cure of this lady, but in
his own case and many others within his
knowledge.
The well-known icriter on the Boston Herald, B.
W. BALL, of Rochester, .H.writcs June !, 1882:
"Having suffered severely for some wears with
Eczema, aud having failed to find relief from other
remedies, have made use during the past three
months. of AYERS SARSAPAEILLA, which has
effected complete cure. | consider it 4 magnih-
cent remedy for all blood diseases"

THERE are none who will not sincerely
regret the sickness which has overcome
Judge Hoadly at this junrture. It has no
doubt been brought about by anxiety,
excitement and over-eXertion, such as that
which led to the death of the venerable
Greeley. Judge Hoadly's temperament
is said to be much like that of Greeley,
nervous and eYcitable. 1t is hoped that
he will soon be restored to perfect health
