Wonderful Cures.

The press of the country is constantly
filled with wonderful cures which have
transpired through the agency of some
medicine in their immediate neighbor-
hood. Some of these have some founda-
ton, but great number have no better
basis than the flighty imagination of the
writer The following case, however, is
without precedent, and anyone is given
the privilege of writing to the subscriber
and finding if he tells the truth.
ERIE, PA.
DIR. HARTMAN.-I cannot but feel it
my duty to express to you, before your
departure from our city, my thanks for
the great benefit I received from the use
of your medicine PeTu7la. One bottle
placed me square on my feet, after sick
ness of four weeks, which confined me to
my bed and then left me lame and Grip
pied. Three days from the commence
ment of the use of your remedy, the cane
was dispensed with, and in week / was
perfectly well. n. J. WRIGHT,

In recent sermon one OF our min
listers described devils as those who
not only resist the calls Of the Holy
Spirit for better life, but use all their
powers to drag from the path of vir-
tue and righteousness those who are
disposed to accept the religion Of Je-
sus as the only true light for the path
way Of life
This is an apt description of the
"enemies Of God" Those who, not
satisfied with their own carelessness
regarding what they know to be the
right way of living permit themselves
to sink into absolute depravity, and
take fendish pleasure in dragging
others down to their level, certainly
deserve to be designated by so harsh a
name as devil.
There are various classes of devils
the drinking devil, the card-playing
devil, the dancing devil, and various
other kinds Of devils, but there is one
devil who not only combines, in his
makeup, all the bad qualities Of all
the other devils, but has depth of
wickedness never yet approached by
any other devil save his master, Satan
himself. This devil is the devil who
keeps drinking saloon.
The most deplorable feature about
the devilment Of this worst of all dev-
lis, is the fact that he not only carries
on his devilment through the prompt
ings Of wicked heart, but he makes
his wiekedness 2 means of livelihood.
The success of his business depends
upon his success as a tempter. I'm
less he can persuade men into the cul-
tivation of ruinous appetite, his
business must go down, hence he lives
by the misery of others, and he carries
on his work vigorously in every de-
partment, from the persuasion of the
public platform to the temptation Of
the free-lunch table. This devil
knows that he cannot for moment
sustain his position before an intelli-
gent people. In short, he knows that
he is a devil, and the most devilish
and Internal Of all the great retinue
of imps that follow in the train of his
master Satan.
There haVe been recent develop
ments in this town which furnish
striking pictures of the horrible and
sneaking work Of the saloon devil.
What could be more unjust picture
than that Of poor fellows standing
shivering Oh the streets, with insuffi-
cient clothing to keep themselves
warm-some of them even receiving
aid from the Township Trustees
see the fnely-clad, bloated saloon dew
lis sailing past in their sleighs and
carriages, while ne. the poor fellow,
reflects that his money helped to pay
for those rigs?
Thus the saloon devil goes on, en-
joying life upon the miseries Of those
he drags down, until his oWp moral
perceptions become entirely drowned
in the flood of the horrible poison
which he sells. Yes, the saloon devil
is the worst devil of all.

The working men of the nation
have their eyes upon the Ohio contest.
In this State they have spoken their
sentiments in terms that have but one
Interpretation. In other States the
sympathies and agreements of their
fellow men are intensely aroused. Can
the accepted party of the laboring
man afford to insult him when his de-
mand is founded upon the clearest
facts, upon the essential doctrine Of
Democracy. All over this State their
organizations are protesting against
the election of Payne. They are
stirred up to pitch Of feeling scarce
ly equalled were present prolonged

Democracy cannot ignore labor
Columbus Times.
The above is the language Of the
Democratic party concerning itself.
The Times is an earnest and vigorous
Democratic paper, and the above edi-
torial was published just before the
nomination Of Payne for U. S. Sena-
tor. This Democratic paper, which
claims that the Democratic party is
''the accepted party Of the laboring
man, adds that 'all over the State
their organizations are protesting
against the election Of Payne" Yet
the Democratic party deliberately
slapped these same workingmen in
the face, and elected Payne. despite
their protests. Now the Democratic
demagogues will go up and down the
State attempting to convince these
men that Payne was the man they
were shouting for all the time. 1t
must require a good deal Of faith-or
a good deal Of prejudice-to be a

Wood county, Ohio, has a sensation
in the shape of strange animal,
something like badger, which runs
along under the ground, like ground
mole, and runs into the graves in the
cemetery, and eats up the bodies.
Men are digging all around that re-
gion, but they cannot find the brute.
Just how this creature makes his way
under the ground, or just how he
breaks open the caskets, is not stated,
but if any man owns the proverbial
"jack-knife," he is Informed that it
belongs in Wood county, and should
be sent there, right away. No won

upon the Democrats to make count
of votes to suit the necessities of the
case, in a county where they see bad
gers running under the ground,

"A DASHING OFFICER" "

Those who have meyer seen service
in the army, yet who have read Of the
"dashing officers of history, will nat
urally fall in with the idea that they
are class clothed with the tradition
al bravery and gallantry Of ancient
knight-hood, officers who are ever
foremost in the fray, finding their
most delightful experience where the
battle RACES with greatest fury. Well,
such is one class Of dashing officers
but there is another, and more COM
mon class. The dashing officer we
have in mind, delighted in sleek
horse, a bright uniform, cooked hat
and feather or an embroidered cap,
shining spurs, a dandy sword, and
great gauntlets reaching to the elbows.
Such was the one we encountered one
day at Big Shanty, Georgia.
Sherman was battling away at
Kenesaw Mountain, and thousands of
cases Of ammunition were being un-
loaded at the Station. Our battalion
was chosen to guard this, temporari-
ly. with orders to let no man within
the lines unless passed by the officer
Of the guard. The writer of this was
on post when a ''dashing officer"
came tearing along upon his war
charger, and was just sailing right in
among the ammunition boxes, when a
bayonet was suddenly presented at his
horses breast, and the animal sudden
ly sank back upon his launches in fear
of the sharp STEEL. while the rider
glared into the muzzle Of a breech-
loading rifle. The dashirg officer had
been dashed. Failing in his effort to
frighten the boy off that post by his
violent swearing-he was staff Off
Ger to a Division Communicable
whirled to the next beat and was re-
ceiyed in like'manner. Here he flew
into terrible rage, and yelled;

Miss Emma Bond, young lady
school teacher Of Taylorville, Illinois,

into the loft of the school building,
and terribly abused until left for dead.

advising his friends and neighbors to
''let the law take its course Well,
they did so, and, although the girl
positively identified the scoundrel, his
relatives were permitted to come into
court and establish an alibi, and the
defendant was acquitted. In return
for the mercy of Mr.. Bond for saving
his, life, this villain has since his ac-

character. What is left for Mr.. Bond
but mob law and murder in return for
