The kidneys form very important channel
for the outlet of disease from the system, car
rymg OF accommodations that poison the blood
As the lungs remove the carbonic acid, the liv-
or the hillary acid, so the kidneys remove the
URIC acid The undue accumulation of this acid
is the poison that often produces rheumatism
and other chronic diseases. The kidneys are
often effected and cause serious disease when
least suspected If there is weakness, heat or
pain in the back or loins, WEAKNESS, nervous
restlessness, and any unnatural condition of
the urine, hot, dry skin, hectic dushes,
bloating of the body or swelling of
the limbs, annoying headaches, obstructed
circulation, with sediment or gravely or al
luminous deposits in the secretion from the
kidneys; or if that secretion be either extreme
ly pale or high colored, then the kidneys are
evidently not doing their natural work. Many
suffer from serious kidney trouble without
knowing what ais them No matter in what
form the kidney complaint may exist, there is
no better purifying regulating diuretic and
tonic than Burdock Blood Bitters; its action
upon the kidneys is at once manifested

What Edmunds Said Of Blaine.

Some time ago it was reported that Mr.
Edmunds the distinguished Vermont republi-
can Senator had written letter in 1880, saying:
sit is my deliberate opinion that Mr.. Blaine
acts as the attorney of Jay Gould. When
ever Mr. Thurman and l have settled up legis-
ltion to bring the Pacific railroads to terms of
equity with the government, up has jumped
James G. Blaine, musket in hand, from behind
the breastworks of Gould's lobby to fire in cur
backs
One Frank A. Flower of Madison, Wisconsin,
wrote to Mr.. Edmunds, asking in substance, if
he had made such remarks about Blaine
The following appeared in the Chicago
Tribune of the oath ult the true copy of a
letter from Senator Edmonds to Wisconsin.
BURLINGTON, Vt, Sept 1S,-Dear Sir: 1

'sacts as the attorney of JAY GOULD, for am not
conscious of having thought 3d. AS I have
publicly stated, expect to vote the republican
ticket Yours truly,
Mr.. Edmunds wrote the above but great
deal more which was suppressed by rascally
persons, so as to utterly destroy its meaning.
Here Is the genuine letter, the portions sup
pressed to the Tribune being in brackets:
[Privatel: I have yours of the 18th. las
am not in the letter-writing business, mark,
this as have some similar ones, ssprivate. u
I am sure that never wrote or said that the
gentleman you refer to "acts as the attor-
ney Of jaw Could" for am not conscious
of ever having thought 80. II presume it is
true, altho' I can find no copy of the
letter, that in 1880 did write to some constitu-
ent adversely to the nomination of the gentle
man named, and believe it to be true that he
was on the side of the railroads in the struggle
of 1873 and it is my belief that said 80.
As have publicly stated, Iexpect to vote the
republican ticket. Yours GEO. F. EDMUNDs

made) out of loop, said loop was made
of thread, and the last, aud we thought
most difficult, was the cutting into of a
hair, which was pulled out of an Indi-
an scalp. We have one of the hairs,
which was shot into by White Beaver,
fastened to piece of paper, in our
sanctum on exhibition, and also one of
the small pellets, which was shot from
the thread loop. The shooting was all

Curious Jury Verdicts.

A London jury has awarded man
e1O in compensation for the death of
his son, bright, Industrious boy OF
fourteen, who was killed by the falling
of an Unsecured advertisement board.
At about the same time another jury
was granting $4,000 to family for the
death of relative in railway accident.
The London Graphic believes that
these inconsistencies in the award of
damages are to be explained by prac-
tice very common among juries, by
which each juryman writes down his
note of damages on slip of paper, the
total amount on the slips being after
wards divided by twelve. In this way
three or four jurymen who want the
damages to be heavy have only to write
down each maximum of 100000, and
contrarywise if they want low damages
they may generally accomplish their
purpose by entering noughts.

A Word from Cleveland.

ALI the public utterances of Gov. Cleveland
are massive and strong, and exhibit robust,
sound and composed mind; but, perhaps, the
most appropriate, if not the very best thing he
has said in the course of the canvass in which
he is so onsplcuous figure, is this-spoken
to the people of Buffalo:

your safety lies in impressing upon those en-
trusted with the guardianship of your rights

ernment can hardly rise higher than the source

What Republican Said Of Cleveland.

New York Times rep: In every light in which
we can regard the two men, Mr. Cleveland
represents, in his common sense, his sturdy
honesty his scrupulous fidelity to trusts, his
independence, aud his self-respect, the virtues
on which the business interests of the country
must rely for safety in the head of the govern
ment while Mr.. Blaine, in his recklessness,
his unseemly mixing with unclean speculation,
his intimacy with jobbers and lobbyists, his
greed for money, his INSCRIPTIONS unveracity,
his lodging, schening and thickness, embod-
les the failings and the vices from which hon.
est business men have most to fear.

The "P1umed Knight"

The New York Times (Rep.) has true esti-
mate of the fraudulent character of the Plumed
Knight 1t says:
Every day that passes strips from him
something of his claim to be a 'dashing,' 'ag-
gressive,' 'audacious' man. The attitude in
which he stands before the public is becoming
pitiable. The journals that felt bound to warn
the country of the danger it would incur from
his supposed rashness and holiness find them
selves relieved from any such duty. An exam
ination of his public career shows him to be
weak kneed shallow, irresolute, cunning and
cowardly. In his private career every new
disclosure deepens this impression that he is
disgusting sneak and falsifer."
