the national convention had controlled
these States.
The efforts and representations of the
Pennsylvania Independents defeated the
resolutions aimed at him in the recent
New York independent conference. The
absurdity of independents making war up

In the blood will nearly always show itself in
the Spring. If it does not come in the shape
of blotches, pimples, eruptions, ETC.. it causes
dull and heavy feeling. indisposition to ex-
ertion, loss of appetite. and q general letting
down of the system. Nature at this juncture
requires some assistance to help throw off
this poison and clean up the organism for the
trying summer weather. For this there is
nothing better than Swift's Specific.
Letters from twenty three (23) of the lead
ing retail druggists of Atlanta say, under date
March "a, 1884, 1--WE sell more of Swift's
Specific than any one remedy, and three to
ten times as much as any other blood medi-
cine. We sell it to all classes, and many of
the best families use it as a general health
tonic"

card to the White House while out driving,
and the President called on him twice. Gen

ARBITRARY PROCEEDINGS.

The Boston Herald narrates an in
cident to show the arbitrary manner
in which the French carry out their
colonial projects, and the slight re-
gard they have for the comfort and
welfare of orhers in so doing, which
took place two mouths ago at Tama-
tav, Madagascar. An American bark
gut in there for medical assistance,
the captains wife being very ill. The
French authorities allowed a doctor
to go out to the vessel, by whose Or
ders the sick lady was sent on shore.
Her husband, the captain, who accom-
panied her on the boat, was not al
lowed to land, and although she lived
three days after landing. he was not
permitted to see her at any time dur
ing that period, or to be present at
her burial. In another instance, a
cargo of American cloth, which was
being sent from Tamat " to another
port on the coast, was seized, aud was
only released when the captain of the
vessel carrying it agreed to return to
the port whence he had set sail.
These various interferences would
seem to indicate a desire on the part
of France to do all in her power to
break down a trade which American
ingenuity and. perseverance have
succeeded in building up in NADIA
gascar.
