sylvania, assembled at Gettysburg, Mr.. Hen
sell, of the Lancaster hHelligencer, stated
startling truth when he said that "the great
Presidential struggle now pending will be
decided by the votes of men born since the

ANYBODY saw it. The inmates stood aghast
and speeches. for several seconds, when
one of them, pointing his finger at the OBJ
iect, managed to articulate: "Do any of the
rest of you see that?" They responded in
chorus: eyes, we all do" "It's a great
relief to me to know it," said the first, "for
I thought was going to have another , at, at;
tack of malaria" "Me, t0o," responded

Says the New Orleans Tines Democrat ::
States is estimated at 6,000,000, or One-ninth
of the entire population. Only seven North
ern States have higher colored population
than q, 1000, and of these the highest is in
PENNSYLVANIA, with $1,000. The last census
indicated the fact that the white population
doubles itself in every twenty-five years,
while the negro does the same in every
twenty years. From these figures writer
in the North american RerieV, making al
lowance for foreign and Northern immigra-
ton, concludes that in 100 years the negroes
in every Southern State will be double the
number of whites.
- Cholera is filth disease. Let private
and public cleanliness prevail. The Baltl-
more american opportunely says: "Ihe
work of cleaning and purifying streets,
aIleyways, yards, &C., should be constant
and unremitting. New York has already
begun. Watts and tanks for disinfectants
have been erected, a fumigation depot has
been established, inspectors and diSinfect-
ing corps have begun their labors. Every
day for eight weeks five thousand gallons
of disinfectants will be distributed. SINH
lar action Throughout the country will dc
much to Danish all cause for serious alarm
and will prevent the cholera from becom::
ing epidemic should it appear in the United
States"

years ago a prescriptio that became gen
orally known as 1.-THE Sun Cholera Mix
ture." Of this the Journal Of Commerce
says: "Our contemporary never lent its
name to better article. We have seen it
in constant use for nearly two score years,
and found it to be the best remedy for loose
ness of the bowels ever yet devised. 1t is
to be commended for several reasons. 1t is
not to be mixed with liquor, and therefore
will not be used as an alcoholic beverage
Here it is. Cut it out and use it in the fam.

A st. Louis dispatch of the 18th says
Advices from the little town of Redding
Ringgold county, Iowa, say that great ex'
element prevailed there on last Wednes'
day over the finding of the dead body OF q
man in the office of DR.. Eli Quigley. Fire
was discovered in the doctors office Wed:
nesday morning, and the partially burned
body of dead man was found on the col
which was in blaze. At first it was thought
to be that of DR.. Quigley but an eXamina.
ton proved it to be the headless trunk OF
the partly decomposed body of a man named
Lynch, who died and was buried early in
June. Further investigation revealed the
fact that DIR. Quigley had disappeared and
that he had life insurance policy OF s1O, ,00C
in one company and one of 1000 in anoth-
er. Both were taken out within the year
and the conclusion was reached by the peo-
pie that Lynchs grave was robbed, his
body placed in DR.. Quigley's office and the
premises fired in furtherance of the scheme
to swindle the insurance companies.
