HAwAu's CONGRATULATIONS TO THE
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1884-02-19

Publicans suppose, change of ser
vitude from their former masters, to
the office seekers of the so-callcd Re-
publican party. And that is the way
the negro now sees it. No, Messrs.
Caucuscrs, your wards have become
of age since you proclaimed them
children born into political cxistance.
You proclaimed the negro a chattle
by making them contraband. What
paragons of consistency you so-calEeds
are; you ought to- stand behind
screens to prevent your brilliancy
from bedazzling the going out of the
nineteenth century.
Fattening on stolen pastures make
brcachy animals, and the National Adj
ministration party have swollen ex-
ccCdtngly, individually considered,
since the robbery first commenced,en
the treasury. First by means of that
giganticIy procured job, the forced
secession of the Southern States
And out of that prolific nest have
been brooded rich mines of pIunder,
which to name would be to repeat
what everybody knows-from army
contracts to star route virtue. And
now comes this last lament, with floods
of official tears, all copious with out
ward grief, bursting with sorrow for
dcathless murders committed in the
South or the helpless trophies to the
so-callcd, by the Malone addition,
who have been laboring for patriotism
alone, since 1861. True, few hum
dred millions have incidentally
dropped into the pockets of the of
ficials and their cousins, but an ex-
uberanco of that sort of patriotism
will gravitatc toward the centre, whore
patriots pockets arc located. Even
the poor darkcy's earnings could not
be kept in the Frccdmans' Savings
Bank, it too, gravitatcd in the samc
direction, and doubtless lodged amid
the filthy lucrc from Z" Emma Nine"
ct AL, rs lawyers say in some of their
briefs.
1t would be less surprising if, on
the stump, those highly cultured sym
pathizcrs who sat in caucus to declare
the fundamentals of the Republican
party, should tib little, but out of
whole shoddy to manufacture in the
face of tariff reform, the raw material
Of which fanaticism is the warp and
prejudice the woof, to fabricatc new
lease on office. 1t shows great lack
of material, but to spin out imaginary
slang, not one word of which any one
of the 1925 themselves believe, about
the conduct of elections in the South,
is very shallow ground work to
build platform on for presidential
campaign, and is making rather free
use of libclous matter
Such flights of fancy pricl; The orbs,
With 6urbs of gOading steele,
No wing 80 fleet or sound so clear
AS conscience, made to feel.

world for quicting and aIlaying all irritation of
the nerves and curing all forms of nervous
complaints. giving natural, childlike refreshing
sleep always?
And they will tell you unhcsitatingly
"Some form of Hops"

Ask any or all of the most eminent ply
sicians:
"What is the best and only remedy that can
be relied on to cure all diseases of the kidneys

POETlcAL.
It Give Us This Day Our Daily
Bread"

"Only to-day! dark looms tomorrow
Behind, sad yesterdays are lying dead;
Each moment keeps slow step with sorrow,
Give US to-day our daily bread
Only to-day!
We have no strength to walk unless Thou lead
us;
Sin hides, each side the straight and narrow
way;
Our hungry souls must faint, except Thou feed
US,
Help US, we plead, to live aight to-day
Only to-day!
We would not pierce the misty clouds around
us,
Nor fathom what future has in store;
But day by day Thy loving care hath found us,
Lead us to-day. we ask no more
Only to-day!
We could not bear the weight a lifetime carries,
Our strength grows weakness if we do but try
Tomorrow comes with peace that never tarrics;
Help Us to-day, o Lord is all our cry
Only to-day!

Where the Fire is Out.
Magic No More Uyste7y-Seen From across
Ule World

.. .Haroun of Alcppo" said Sir Philip Derval.
had mastered every secret in nuture which the
noblcr magic seeks to fathom. He discovered
that the true art of healing is to assist Nature
to throw of the discasc-to summon, as it wClc,
the whole system to eject the enemy that has
fastened on part. His process all included
the refnvigOrattOn of the principle of life''
In this the Eastern sage merely anticipated
the practice of the best physicians of to-day.
What life itself is, nobody knew then-nobody
knows now. But we have learned something
of the reasons why the mysterious tide rises and
falls. Provided the great organs of the body
are not irreparably destroyed, medical science
can always relieve, and often save. Yet no
reputable physician ROW adhercs to the barba-
rous and stupid processes of depletion, such us
bleeding, by which it was attempted to cure
disease by reducing the patients ability to re-
sist it. Nowadays We do not tear down the
fort to help the gGrrison-wc strengthen it.
In this intelligent and bcnehccnt work, it is
conceded that PARKERS TONIC leads ull
other medicines. AS an invigorant it acts i'm
mcdiately and powerfully upon the circulation
and the organs of digestion, thus giving Nature
the assistance she calls for. 1t follows that all
ailments of the stomach. Kidneys and liver are
at once relieved or cured. No other prcpara-
ton cmbodies the same qualities or produces
similar results. 1t is delicious to use, and the
best known anti-ntoXiCant. Price soc and 81

She left the room, and the company present vas requested to say what they would have her do. It vas de. cided that she should be blind-folded and brought into the room and placed facing north that the gentlemen who knew what was to be done should then place his fingers on her shoulder; that ,he should immediately turn to the right, facing south, and proceed to a certain figure on the parlor carpet, then turning to the vest, approach z sosa in remote corner ot the room from which she should remove a small tidy which she should take to the opposite side of the room and place upon the head of a certain young man there: then to proceed to the ex- treme end of the parior and take a coin from the right vest pocket of . gentle man, and return to the opposite end cd the room and place the coin in the lefs pocket of another gentleman named she was then to remove the tidy from the head of the gentleman on which she had placed if and return tt to the so(a vhage she originally found it.

He must be entirely passive in the hands Of the subject, not withstanding that the contrary IS sup posed to be the case The muscles of the subjects arm must be flexible and easy, without being limp, not rigid. For if held stiff and rigid those muscular im- pulses which direct the operator will not be made. The absolute ngidity of arm which strong man can assume defeats the most skllful operator and proves conclusively that reading the mind has noshipg to do with the process
 The operator must possess certain qualifications, such as delicacy Of touch and nervous sensibility to the slightest impulses received from the subyec,, and the aforesaid confidence ID himself which makes an impression on subject and tends 10 draw him out of the passive state he supposes he IS in.
 The inexperienced operator had better be blindfslded, for with the eyes nearly closed the tendency to open them every time anything is tooched is great. and encs open the operator is no longer pas sivs; while a blindfolded person is al- vsys helpless.

IT is remarkable to wheat extent
the adulteration of the various ar
ticles Of commerce, particularly food,
is now carried on. Almost every.
thing entering into our daily use is
compounded with some impurity
tending to cheaper its production
In butter the fraud is patent to all.
Nearly every package bought to this
city from California is adulterated
with tallow or lard, and other com.
pounds dangerous to the consumer.
Out of thirty samples of butte,
tested in New York. only ten were
possibly pure. The cost of manu-
featuring adulterated butter is very
much less than the pure article,
and We may expect to be imposed
upon by the villainous compound sc
long as there is no way to prevent
