Swept into the Stream.
ONE THOUSAND ACRES OF LAND AND FRIGHT
SMART OF BEARS


On the deck of a big Mississippi steamboat
stood an aged Southern planter. Indicating by
a sweep'of his arm the waters the. boat was pass
ing over,he said to a passenger from the North.
"When was twelve years old killed my first
bear on new plantation my father was then
cutting out of forest that grew directly over
the waters of this bend. That was mighty
good plantation, and there was right smart Of
bears there, too. But that one thousand acres
of land went into the Mississippi years ago.
1t Is putting no strain upon the figure to say
that great forests of youthful hope, womanly
beauty and manly strength are swept in the
same way every year into the great, turbid tor
rent of disease and death. Yet 1t should not be
so. That 1t Is so is disgrace as well as a loss.
People are largely too careless or too stupid to
defend their own interests-the most precious
of which Is health. That gone, all is gone. Dis
ease is simple, but to recklessness or ignorance
the simplest things might as we'll be complex as
proposition IN Comic Sections. AS the huge
Western rivers which so often flood the cities
along their shores, arise in few mountain
springs SO all our ailments can be traced to i'm
pure blood and a small group of disorded organs.
The most effective and inclusive remedy for
disease is PARKERS TONIC. 1t goes to the
sources of pain and weakness. In response to
its action, the liver, kidneys. stomach and
Heart begin their work afresh, and disease is
hriven out The tonic is not, however an in
oxi cant, but cures desire for strong drink.

Just the Thing.

FILLS THE BILL TO A DOT. AND AS THINGS
GET HOT POLITICALLY EVERYBODY
WILL WANT IT.
The special edition of the B. 81 o. Red
Book, devoted to the history of the Re-
publican party and its antecedentS, is an
almost indispensable publication to those
at all interested in the development of the
campaign of the year. Great care is man
ifested in the compilation of data, and
while everything is stated in the most
concise manner, the Information is so
clear and explicit as to be readily compre-
hended The chapter devoted to the orr
gin of the party and its national outcome
from the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of prior parties
is Of exceeding interest, as is also the
points showing party policy as expressed
through Congressional action. The con-
densed proceedings of the National Con-
yentions of the various parties, from the
earliest period of the country history to
the present, is of no ordinary value, and
it is a thing never before attempted in
such form of publication. Indeed, it
would be difficult to tell of all the impor-
tant information gathered together and
shown SO intelligently in the little book.
Those who desire SO invaluable text
book for handy reference, as matters grow
interesting, will not delay long in enclos-
to G.. X. Lord. Baltimore, this being the
only requisite to secure copy. In addi.
tiOn to the data having direct bearing up
on the one party, there is vast amount
of information given as regards both par
ties, and with the Red Book at hand no
one need be at a loss for an authority to
settle almost any questions as to political
history which may come up. In common
with all the B. & o. publications, it is a
model Of perfect Typography. the makeup
and type used generally being very far
above the average of political textbooks.
On the 18th, Mr.. Randall submitted in
the House summary of the appropriation
bills similar to that submitted in the Senate
by Mr.. Allison. By this it appears that
the wole amount of appropriations for the
expenses of the government for the last
fiscal year was $3.50, 1877 .O96 80, and the
whole amount appropriated directly for
the current fiscal year 1886, 166, AT ,01. Mr..
Allison stated the total amount for this
year an $193. POI .OS7.13. The discrepancy
beween Mr.. Randall IS total and that of MI.
Allison is assumed further appropriation
for the navy to cover the last six months
of the current fiscal year upon the basis of
the provisional appropriation actually
made for the first six months of the year.
Adding this amount which is nearly 49,
100000, and the $66,OOO,OOO. unexpended
balance of former and appropriation for
pensions reappropriated, brings the great
total appropriation the fiscal year already
entered upon to $259, POI ,0S7. as stated by
Mr.. Allison.

Mrs. John Gemmell, Milroy, Mifiin CO.,
Pa, in the Spring of 1854 injured her spine
and partial paralysis ensued. For nearly
half a century she was unable to walk. In
the Spring of 1888, she was advised to use
st. Jacobs Oil. the great conqueror of pain.
The first application gave instantaneous
relief. Before the second bottle was ex-
hausted she was able to walk and is cured.

The debt reduction during the fiscal
year just closing has been about $100, 000,-
900, against $137, OOO,O 900 for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1888. If it were not for
the manner in which the Al and per cent
bonds have been funded so that they are
not subject to payment at the option of
the government, the entire bonded debt
could be easily cancelled in the next ten
years.
