THERE are 39 circuses travelling through the country this season, but the presidential menagerle will eclipse them all Oh wait Til-den and save your stamps. Soon all the different po- litical parties will have their candidates in the arena; the performance will be- gin and the struggle continue until next November. Each party thinks their elephant is the sacred one, but if mud throwing is resorted to it will soon be impossible to tell which is the white el- sphant As only one party can win, the others will each soon discover they have got bigger elephant than Jumbo on their hands, though not as popular.

THIS issue of the NEWS contains clear and concise report of the Chicago convention, platform adopted, and sketch of the nominees. ...
 The nomination is received with un- bounded enthusiasm in some sections of the country, while in others it meets with bitter opposition. The leading journals of the country are divided in opinion. Not in our recollection at least has there been such division of sentiment among republicans regarding the presidential candidate. Many re- publican journals predict Blaine's elec- tion, while others say he will surely be defeated.
 It is rather early to make prophecies, except for Buncombe. Not until the democratic party in national convention assembled have adopted their platform and chosen their standard bearer, can we truly say the campalgn has begun, and doctrines and principles or even men presented from which to choose.

 At our inspection on the 21st inst, we found your road bed and track in excel lent condition. The trestle below Tar iffyille you have already arranged to re- build at once. Beyond this the only suggestions we have to make are that the trestle east of Lakeville should have new stringers; and while we do not re- gard the long billings at Twin Lakes o1 west of TariffYille as at present unsafe, they would both be very much improv. cd if you would have one new stringel under each rail for their entire length removing the poorest of the present gtringers.

Mrs. Kent of Sank county, consult

regard to a disease which had troub-

severity for five years and half.
She had been treated for Liver dis
ease, Dyspepsia, Malaria and various
other complaints without success, fer a
while she suffered from these disorders,
there were other and more serious
complications which her medical adj
visers failed to take into consideration.
Upon careful examination, We found
the root of the disorder to be a deep
seated nervous and uterine disease.
Her blood was impoverished. circula-
ton feeble and sluggish, nervous forces
torpid and the whole system gradual
ly breaking down under the general
arrangement. She had pain in
nearly part of her body was nervous,

only experience improvement. She
was under eur treatment four months,

health. If she had expected cure

would have lived and died a chronic
invalid. vi.
