A GEORGIA SNAKE sroRY.-A stran

A GEORGIA SNAKE SToRY.-A strange
snake story comes from Berrien, Ga. Mr..
r. @. Houston, while with friends on a
deer hunt, was bitten on the calf of the leg
by rattlesnake. His friends bound liga-
ture above the knee and left him to procure
doctor. On their return the patient was
sleeping soundly, the enormous swelling on
his leg had gone down, and around him
were lying dead nearly half bushel of
mosquitoes. They had drawn the poison
from the wound and died from the effects.
The snake was killed and found to be five
feet four inches long, with nineteen rattles
and a button.

All in the Line of Nature

There is nothing in the line Of magic Of
mystery about that wonderful and popular
medicine, Parker's Tonic. tits simply the
best and most scientific combination posi-
BILE of the essential principles of those veg
etable curatives which act powerfully and
directly on the stomach, liver, kidneys and
blood. But there neither is, nor will be,
any successful imitation Of it. It is all the
time curing those who had despaired of
ever getting well. For yourself, your wife

A Miracle.

Mrs. T. s. Eberline, of 274 Market
street, Allegheny City, Pa, now living at
Kcokuk, Iowa, had been sick for years,
and finally passed into consumption. The
physicians who attended her were among
the very best in the city. They did ev-
erytning that the most gifted among them
were capable of doing and honorably
told her that nothing more could be done,
that she could not live over that night.
About midnight death began to close the
suffering of the good wife and dutliul
mother, and as the friends and family
were gathered around the bed in tears TO
witness her passage to eternity, announcer
physician suddenly entered and softly
whispered, SECT PERUNA, quickly; hur-
ry!" 1t was brought, and though the
breathing had almost ceased, her lips
were livid, finger nails blue, the pulse had
ceased at the wrist "Oh," sighed the
friends, dit is too late; do not trouble her
any longer" but she swallowed little,
rallied and expectorated great mouth
full; she breathed easier; she swallowed
little more, and again she raised more
phlegm; the breathing improved; the by
ISLANDERS took courage, and they perse-
vered with the PERUNA until she was
surely better. The pulse returned, the
circulation was established, the lips and
nails became natural, after which tea
spoonful of the PERUNA every hour was
administered, and she continued to I'M
prove In few days she sat up; IN two
weeks she was the heartiest eater in the
house, and in three months she was per-
fectly well. Who is not convinced OF the
unequal worth of PERUNA. For afflda-
wits and signatures of the truthtulness OF
this statement of Mrs. Eberlines case, see
the "Ills of Life and How to Cure Them"
gratis of any druggist.
Mrs. II. i. Hammond, Chardon, Ohio,
writes: In regard to your MANALIN, |
have used it, and find it to be one of the
best, l will say the best, liver medicine L
ever used, and l have tried good many.
When commenced taking your medi-
cine my forehead, and clear down around
my chin, was covered with those brown
liver spots. After taking your medicine
short time those all disappeared. We
have taken, myself and husband, eight
bottles. think. We will not be without
it in the house"
II. Miholand, % and o. Forbes street.
Pittsburgh, Pa, says: "Quite number
ofmy friends and myself have had great
satisfaction from the use OF your PERUNA
and MANALIN. Indeed, we consider them
grand panacea for the various ills to
which flesh is ever, heir"

Vital QuaStians

Vital Questions u!
Ask the most eminent physician
Of any school, what the best thing in the
world for quieting and allaying all irrita-
ton of the nerves, and curing all forms of
nervous complaints, giving natural, child
like refreshing sleep always?
And they will tell you unhesitatingly
",Sonse form Of Hops !"
CHAPTER 1.
Ask any or all of the most eminent ply
sicians:-
'sWhat is the best and only remedy that
can be relied on to cure all diseases of the
kidneys and urinary organs; such as
Bright's disease, diabetes, retention, or in
ability to retain urine, and all the diseases
and ailments peculiar to Women
"And they will tell you explicitly and
emphatically "Buchu !"
Ask the same physicians
'sWhat is the most reliable and surest
cure for all liver diseases or dyspepsia, con-
stipation, indigestion, biliousness, malaria,
fever ague, &C.," and they will tell you:-
Mandrake or Ddndelion III"
Hence, when these medicines are COM
bined with others equally valuable,
And compounded into Hop Bitters, such
wonderful and mysterious curative power
is developed, which is so varied in it's ope-
rations that no disease or ill health can pos
sibly exist or resist its power, and yet it is
Harmless for the most frail woman, weak
est invalid or smallest child to use.
CHAPTER II.
Patients

Bright's and other kidney diseases, liver
complaints, severe coughs, called consump-

N SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER.

If a reponse could be obtained from every
reader of the Gazette we are certain ninety
per cent. would testify that they were not
directly or indirectly interested in the bene
fits to arise from the protection afforded the
manufacturers of the country generally,
while ninety-nine per cent. if they made the
calculation, would find that they are made
to pay an extra price for nearly every item
of wearing apparel and everything else they
purchase, in the interest solely OF the great
monopolists, who are never content unless
their fortunes double with each year. 1t is
to pay tribute to these moneyed lords that
the multitude-the poor-are taxed in al
most every item of food and clothing-the
very essentials of life-by the existing tariff.
A tariff for 'srevenue only is the true doc
trine, and while the amount required to
meet the interest upon the public debt and
defray the currency expenses OF the Gov
eminent continue as at present, it will be
found that such items as may not be able to
stand competition with the products from
abroad will be fully protected by the Incl
dental protection that revenue tariff will
afford them. The day for tariff for the
sake of the protection it affords has passed;
the laboring man who finds employment in
a factory, if he did but knowit in the in
creased price he has to pay for what he has
to purchase under a protective tariff, has to
stand loss of full fifty per cent, at a low
calculation, to secure an increase of one
fourth the amount for his labor. The dem
ocrats of Virginia and the South and West
have nothing to fear from this issue.-Aler-

THE CRoCoDILEs.-The Emperor of An
nam has singular way of keeping thieves
out of the treasury. He has made deep
water-tank in the court of his palace, and
placed dozens of the hugest crocodiles there
in. In the bottom of the tank is an i'm
mense stone basin, and when he collects his
revenue, he taken out what he needs for
present use, and losses the rest into the
basin. There it is safe, being protected by
the crocodiles.
We have more money now in our treasury
than we know what to owith, and we wish
we could keep it from being plundered by
some such simple method as is practicable
in AMMAN. But the Republican party is
not afraid of crocodiles, or of any other
means of protecting our money. The only
way of doing this is to put stop to the
surplus, and until that is done, to put good
and tried Democrats over the Treasury
This is just what the candidates chosen at
Chicago do, and all the people will say,

If the American voters really hunger 70,

If the American voters really hunger for
needless and high taxes, with a ''distribu-
ton of the surplus" to jobbers and star
reuters; if they want to see the country
embarked on a new career Of semi common
ism at home and guano Adventures abroad;
if they wish to see spectators, contractors,
and party bummers making rapid fortunes
out of public calamity, oppression and dis
grace, the Blaine Logan ticket offers them
all this, and very frankly. "The West and
the rowdy element are counted on to mass
the votes and carry the States for Blaine
and Logan. The hundred million surplus
and the guano policy form the Ebay at the
end of the POLE" which stimulates this new
sectional and corrupt combination to do its
utmost. 1t will require the combined eff
forts of the other sections and of reputable
citizens to defeat this attempt against the
Treasury and the country. When Blaine
and Logan called for distribution of the
surplus they appealed to all the needy,
speculative and jobbing elements in the
country; and they got their reward from
these followers at Chicago in an ''enthusi-
astic" nomination.
1t remains to be seen whether the coun-
try at large cons ents to be plundered.-N.

An anti-Blaine Republican of New York,
believed to be Hon. Roscoe Conkling, has
lately published an able, incisive and scath-
ing review of Blaine's qualities and politi-
cal career. He says: ''Mr. Blaine repre-
sents the sensationalism. the greed for
power, the lust for jobs, the scramble for
office, the propensity for 'brilliancy' and
extravaganza of administration, which
Arthur has held in check to the disgust of
Republican politicians. He adds: s'Mr.
Blaine is statesman whose long public
service is without single act or measure
on the statute books the paternity Of which
his convictions in his own party on any
measure until party caucus had revealed
the winning side, and whose whole career
has been that of demagogue and boss"

CLEVELAND AS A LAWYER AND MAN.
MIR. Cleveland's rank at the bar is high
one He is careful and methodical as q
business man, which, united to his faculty
of going to the bottom of all questions,
give him the principal elements essential to
success in his profession. He presents his
case well and closely, whether the argu-
ment is made before court or jury, but
does not indulge in any exhibition of pyro-
technics. His vocabulary is ample, but not
overwhelming or exhaustive, as is often the
case with professional legal takers. He is
a hard worker, and a large, reliable and
commanding practice is his reward.
Mr.. Cleveland is large man, somewhat
above the medium height, with a strong,
though not particularly striking face.
He has dark, penetrating eyes and heavy
eyebrows. His movements are deliberate
and dignifed, but devoid of the heaviness
which sometimes accompanies men of his
type. He is not a rich man, in spite of his
frugal bachelor habits. He does much
free legal work for poor clients and has a
way of assisting them which, though most
creditable to his conscience, does not put
money in his purse. He is also a liberal
benefactor of all the charities of Buffalo, a
city peculiarly active in this work.
Mr.. Cleveland's strength as a candidate
is due to his strong conservatism, his un-
sullied character, his sympathy with
straightforward, business methods in poll
tics, his exceptional standing with the in
dependent, reform element the country
over and in his ability to inspire people
with the belief that he may be trusted to
do nothing for purely partisan purposes.
Few men unite in themselves so many con-
siderations of fitness and expediency If
elected he may be trusted to expose jobs,
turn out and keep out thieves and give the
country manly, conservative administra-
ton of his own.-Philadezphia Times, In
dependent.

WILL THE STRAIGHT OUTS EAT CROW p
A Washington correspondent of the Baltl-
more american Republican) says that Elk
Senator John F. Lewis had a long consulta-
ton with Logan in Washington about the
political situation in Virginia in which he
told Logan that there was no hope Of carry
ing the Republican ticket in Virginia if Ma
hone should be left in control of the party,
and that Logan should so inform Blaine. -
ssThe straight-outs, said Lewis, twill not
be willing to enter into an alliance with the
readjusters if Malone insists upon his abso-
Lutte control and management of everything,
as he has done in the past
Unless they can get Malone to bow his
crest and make concessions, which he is not
flikely to do, the straight-outs will have tc
eat crow, and vote for Mahone's electors,
OR else they will vote for the Democrats Oh
not vote at all.
