Teruna.

This medicine was introduced 10 the
medical profession and TO the public at
large by b. Hartman, NJ. d., in 1877,
after he had prescribed II TO over 10000
patients in almost every disease 10 which
flesh is heir.
1t is wholly composed Of numerous
vegetable ingredients, each one of which
is acknowledged by the medical profession
TO be the most potent Of all the herbal
remedies known TO medical science
But its great virtue is mainly attributed
TO the new and peculiar proportions in
which the harmonious ingredients are com.
bined, and to the extereme care exercised
in its manufacture, using only the pure,
active principles, and excluding all that
is crude or irritating. No one should be
without Peruna. 2l2

Tbs Com pany They Keep.

There is an old saying that man
is known by the company he keeps.
Judged by this standard the Ameri.
can people will have no difficulty in
forming an opinion as to the merits
Of Cleveland and Blaine, for the
former is loved for the enemies he
has made, and the latter is repudi-
ated because Of the class Of friends
that support him. Clevelaud's
friends are such men as Tilden,
Bayard, Thurman, Randall, Carlisle,
Holman, Mcdonald, Seymour, Han
cock, Schurz and Bristow. How
favorably do they contrast with the
plnnderers who secured the nomi-
nation for Blaine and are now his
most Jealous aud enthusiastic sup
porters. All the S,ar-routcrs arc
for Blaine. Dorsey goes so far as
to youch for his personal and politi-
cal honesty. Gould and other rail
road magnates are for Blaine. All
the s4en now living who helped to
count Tilden out of the Office to
which he was elected by .majori'y
of a quarter of million votes are
for Blaine. The worst elements OF
the Republican party in every city
and State in the Union are shouting
for Blaine and Logan. Robesou,
the navy wrecker, is for the Plnmed
Knight, as is the whole troop of his
dishonest following. Kellogg, the
schewing Louisiana carpctbagger
and admitted bribe-taker, who es-
capped conviction on a technicality,
is f~ Blaine. Every lobbyist, bogus
contractors, and pension sharp,
every disreputable hange'-on aud
ward rounder in the Republican
party is an enthusiastic admirer and
devoted champion of the Plumed
Knight of Maine. All the political
lceches the mcdicants of poll
ties cs-crawl to the Republican tick
ct as naturally as flies swarm to de-
caying garbage. All these men and
factions make a strong combination,
and there are thousands of we'll
nearing mon associated with them,

a CORRESPONDENT of the Mem
phis Appeal, writing from Little
Rock, describes a fashionable dance
he attended in that city, as follows:
"LITTLE Rock, October 3.-Last
night your correspondent attended
a dance at the boathouse and wit
messed few specimens of the dane
ing indulged in by "society" ladies
and gentlemen. They stand well
up to their partners, believe me.
! noticed one pretty girl who tipped
her dainty head upon one side to
rest her cheek upon the neck of her
partner ia "neckstry" piece of
cheetD The boathouse is a fine
place for such festivities, the upper
room or gymnasium being large and
airy, and opening onto gallery its
entire length which overhangs the
river.
Almost without exception the
youIiS IdllcS WHO atttllu tilcsc
dances are pretty as pictures, some
of them even statuesque. Gazing
upon the bare and beautiful bust of
one Of the misses, IA portion of which
no jesious lace even pretended to
conceal, | recalled the answer of a
womon who used to stand as a
sculpter's model. Being asked by
a thin sister if one did not find It
hard to thus expose her charms, she
replied, "That depends upon wheth-
er any one has any charms to ex-
pose"
| think if these ladies could see
themselves as "others" see them,
hugged up in the arms of men who
are unable to support them in any
other way; or if they knew the re-
marks that these selfsame men make
about them, they would eschew the
giddy waltz as danced by them, and
insist upon it that all attendants be
clothed and in their right minds.
None should wear the coat unless
ii fits"

The ScaRdat in Politics.

The New York Courier remarks
that "the fondness Of American peo-
pile for defamation is truly wonder
full" Any attempt to disprovc this
fact Mould not be borne up by the
facts, There are thousands of men
and women in this country who
abhor scandal and despise the scan
dal-monger, but the trouble with the
majority appears to be that even
when they see aud acknowledge the
injustice of detraction they cannot
refrain from enjoying it. In other
words, the public taste is Sitiated
The politician takes advantage OF
this characteristic. There is nc
country on the face of the globe in
which more disgusting scandals have
been promulgated about public men.
Let but a man become a candidate
for Office, and the amount of detrac-
tion increases with the Importance
of the Office. Take the case of Mr.
Cleveland, for example. When he
was candidate for Mayor of Bufa-
10 there was scarcely anything said
against him; when he was candi-
date for Governor of New York the
hardest thing that was said was that
he was wanting in capacity to ad-
minister the office; but now that he
is candidate for President, the
floodgates of abuse have been open.
ed, and he has been represented as
a man altogether too vile for decent
people to associate with. We be-
lieve that the United States produces
more frst-class, able-bodied liars
than any country in the world, and
some of the ablest Of these are now
employed on campaign papers.-I.

YNashingtOm's Letters
and BlailIe's.

"There is one point .oG difference
bct~een George Washington and
James G.. Blaine, which ave fear that
even Blaine's ardent admirer, ex-
Governor Long, of Massachusetts,,
who has instituted comparison be.
tween them that he thinks favorable
to elaine, must concede. On Octo-
bsr '2o, 1895, Washington wrote to
Edmund Randolph:
'You are at liberty to publish
anything that ever passed between
ms, written or oral, that you think
ws,l subserve your purposes. A
conscious rectitude and an invaria-
he cndeavor to promote the honor,
welfare and happiness of this coun-
try by every means in the power OF
the Executive and within the com
pass of my abilities leave no appre-
hension on my mind from any dis
closure whatever"
But when Blaine learned that
some of his letters were in James
Mulligan's hands and in danger OF
publication, he went down OH his
knees and threatened to cut his
throat and make his wife a widow
and his six children orphans, unless
Mr.. Mulligan would give them up
to him. This is not precisely the
course that Washington pursued
towards Randolph" IN. Y. Herald.

We your committee, appointed
to draft suitable resolutions com
memmative on the life and charac-
ter Of our late Bro. George Wilson,
respectfully report the following:
Bro. George Wilson, was born in
Northumberland, England, on the
Goth day Of Suly 1912.
He emigrated to this country in
1851. He died on the 20tA day nf

The Republican campaign is not
lacking in brains, cunning, ingenui-
ty and sharpness. Audacity and
demagegry are its ruling feat lures.
Check is in the ascendant. The
candidate is the prototype of all the
clemens which support him; and
with such adjuncts as accessories it
is inevitably certain that every pos
sible agency, dishonest or otherwise,
that can be utilized, will be employed
to secure success. Whether the
time has come for the overthrow OF
these corrupt policies and disgrace
full methods remains to be seen.-

Popular Fallacics.

1t would add many years to the
average longevity of our species il
we could free the next generation
from the curse of the following fall
lacies, which are either direct
sources of disease or add an unnec-
essary burden to the cares and
troubles of domestic life: The idea
that cold baths are healthy in winter
and dangerous in midsummer; that
rain water is more wholesome than
"hard" water; that bedrooms must
be heated in cold weather; that the
misery of everlasting scrubbing and
soap-sud vapors is compensated by
the comfort of the lucid intervals;
that a sick room must be kept her
mctically closed; that it pays to
save foul air for the sake of its
warmth; that "draughts" are NOR
bific agencies; that catarrhs are due
to low temperature; that even in
midsummer children must be sent
to bed at sunset, when the air Just
begins to be pleasant; that an after
dinner nap can do any harm; that
the sanitary condition Of the air can
be improved by the feter Of carbolic
acid; that tina. there is any benefit
in swallowing jugfuls of nauseous
sulphur water; that rest after dim
ner can be shortened with impunity
that outdoor recreation is a waste
of time; that athletic sports brutal
ize the character; that normal
human being requires any other
stinulent than exercise and fresh
air; that mechanical contrivanccs
can compensate for the lack of
manly strength; that any plan of
study can justify the custom of
stinting children in sleep; that the
torpor of narcotism is preferable to
insomnia; that the suppression of
harmless recreations will fail to
beget vice and hypocrisy; that stim-
ulation is identical with invigora-
ton; that fashion has u right to en-
force the wearing of woolen clothes
in the dog days. lLappincott's
