Diabetes Cured.

New Orleans Picayune, Jan. 20, 1884.
Mr.. Matthias Doll, business place No.
23 North Peters street. residence ROYAL
street, between Jeanne and Bartholomew,
New Orleans. has been a most intense
sufferer from kidney trouble (diabetes) for
the last six long and weary years. He
said to US: Even earlier than that I fire.
quently suffered from pain in the back,
and frequent making Of water, but gave it
no thought until about the time stated.
when the almost constant desire to make
water became uncomfortable. The pain in
the back, and sometimes in the legs. made
me so lame at times that could scarcely
walk. consulted one of the best doctors
in this city, and was under his constant
treatment for one entire year without de-
irving the least benefit. then consulted
from time to time, during the last five or
six years. six other physicians, each one
standing in the front rank of the medical
profession in New Orleans, and though
sometimes was a little relieved of some
excruciating suffering, yetupon the whole
I was not only no better, but in many re-
spects much worse. My limbs became so
swollen and sore that could not cross
my legs when sitting on a chair-all of
which, they said, was caused by diabetes.
I then tried some highly Landed patent
medicine. But they all turned out to be
humbugs. I had given up all hopes of
ever getting relief, much less being cured,
when noticed in the papers some won
derlul cures that PERUNA had made in
this city, as prescribed by DR.. Hartman,
giving the name and address of each per-
son treated. / called to. see him; he at
once prescribed his PERUNA, which is not
over three weeks. ago. / am so much
better that il would not improve any
more, I would not for any amount that
had not placed myself under his treat
ment. All my pain and lameness is gone.
The swelling and stiffness in my legs has
disappeared, and instead of making water
every fifteen minutes, now make it once
in three hours during the day, and only
twice in a whole night. l am, indeed,
quite we'll again. Don't hesitate, don't
say humbug, but get the PERUNA at once
and take it as its printed label directs, or,
IL you think this is only an advertisement,
and not strictly true, call and see me and
see for yourself"

How the Tariff Works.

The Liverpool, England, Cotton
Circular, in a recent issue speaks of
the effect OF our tariff on England
and says:
"This country has suffered severe
ly of late years from the increasing
stringency of foreign tariffs. There
has been a growing tendency evinced
in most countries to protect their
own industries, and in every such
case we are the chief sufferers, for
we live, as already said, by exchang-
ing our manufactures for necessarits
of lite. The United States was one
time large customer for our iron
ware and textile fabrics, but the
hostile tariff she has enforced since
the civil war has nearly driven us
out of her market and has built up u
vast system of manufactures, which
completely supplies her own wants
and leaves something to spare to
compete with us in foreign markets.
The fact is that their market is al
most lost to US, and we, on the other
hand, are Constantly more depend
ent upon her food and raw merteri
al. For this we have no means of
paying except by money or bonds,
or indirectly by our credit with
China, Brazil, etc. Our
colonies all follow in wake of
the United States, and do their best
TO stimulate their own manufactures
by closing their market against
ours"

While the National Democracy

it is at least a gratifying reflection
that Mississippi presents an unbro.

two.

For BCTLER.

This gives a total of 40l electoral
votes; necessary to a choice, pol :;
therefore Blaine is elected ard has
40 votes To spare.
The division in Michigan vote is
caused by Fusion between the
Democrats and Greenbackers,
whereby it was agreed that 7 of its
electoral votes should 60 to Cleve-
land and 6 To Butler.
The vote in New York, New Jer.
sey, Connecticut, Indiana, Califor
MIA and West Virginia was very
close and complete returns may
cause slight change in the figures
above, but are not likely to affect
the general result.

rum Romanism and Rebellion"

Something over two hundred
preachers waited on Mr.. Blaine in
New York last week, and among
other things intended as compli-
mentary to the Republican csndi-
date, affirmed through their spokes-
man, Rev. DR.. Burchard, that I'VE
are Republicans anil do not propose
To leave our party and identify our
selves with the party whose an
tecedents have been rum, Romanism
and rebellion"
Many Catholics at once took um
hrage at being thus unceremoniously
sandwiched in between rum" and
rebellion" and were not slow ~
show their displeasuFe toward a can
dadate who apparently sanctioned
hc offensive utterance; so last Sat
urday at New Haven, Connecticut,
the willy Mr.. Blaine proceeded to set
himself right before the country al
large and the. Catholics in particular,
az follows:
There has been placed in
my hand since my arrival in New
Haven an address from the clergy
men of this city expressing their re-
spect and confidence, and through
the person who delivered it the as
surance that in matters of public

1t may not be amiss to remember, while
cheered by the superintendent bounty of the
Christmas of to-day, how different were the
experiences of the half-starved C~onfederates
who had to decide between '1ong sweetnin' "
and "short sweetnin'." 1t was in East Ten

company sat at the table of an aged hostess.
The coffee pot contained coffee made from
persimmon seed. The hostess did the honors.
At her right appeared a plate which con-
tanned a cake of maple sugar and a bow of
sorghum molasses. She poured out two cups
of coffee, and turning to one of her visitors
politely inquired: Mister, will you take long
sweetin' or short sweetnin' in yournf' He
did not know the difference, and timidly re-
piled: "Short sweetnin', II you please. I"
Thereupon the ancient dame took up the
maple sugar., bit off a piece, dropped it from
her mouth into the coffee and pasSedit. With
equal gravity and courtesy she addressed the
same inquiry to the other Confederate. He
knew what short sweetnin' ~ meant, and
said, with a sweet smile: "Long sweetin',
madam, II you please" She Immediately
stuck her long ~forefinger into the bowl Of
molasses, with that sweetened finger stirred
