In this age Of hustle and hurry, an age
devoted to great projects and enterprises,
the American people are taking the lead
IL the ftlFtheranee Of noble works, AM in
the advancement Of the sciences and arts.
Ia these they deserve @ take high rank,
and through tho united works Of millions,

continents beyond tic ocean. The Amer.
lean people Erc fast, under these influences
developing iato a nervous, energetic race,
remarkable for It's vim AMI business qaali-
fications; vet there Is danger that il the
course OF years these very elements may
combine to the ruinAtion Of the physical
character of the people, and leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
forcfathcrs. General debility is now much
more common than formerly, and seems
to be on the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively
advertised for this widespread complaint
but none of these have been SO successful
or met with such general favor as the
remedy manufactured by DIR. S. b. Hart
man. and named BY him PERUSA.
Mr.. S s. Cloudy, of Massillon, Stark
county, Ohio, rites: That he has been
troubled with general debility and dyspep-
STA for several years; that he was induced
to try PERCSA for his complaints, and
that after using three bottlfs OF the incdi-
cine ne was greatly relieved. 1t braccd
him right up and gave him energy. AMI
restored him to his youthful vigur. lie
ascribcs his cure to PERUSA, and says it
is wonderful remedy.
hdolph isakhaus s. Co, Springfield, O.,
writes " We are having a good sale for
PERUSA. 1t sclls rs well any medicine
we have, and gives the very best eatisfac-
ton"
Mrs. G. w. Necdharn, Ncwtonville,

A BrIghter Futnrc for the Nsgro,

feterahErg lnaeN-Appehl.
One most agreeable result Of Cleve-
lands election will be the increased
independence of feeling and action
among the negro voters in the South
upon political subjects. We do not
allude toIthe subjectIn a spirit of un-
kindness at all, but there has been n
system Of church and society bull
doing in many sections among the
negroes which made 1t practically inn
possible for one OF the race to pro-
claim himself a Democrat and still
maintain Il standing among his own
people. All this will not cease at
once. probably, but TIE loss of adj
ministrations atSWashington which
dId much to encourage the evil
condition Of affairs will be felt. The
interest Of the party Of which Mr..
Cleveland will be the head will of
course be found in the breaking up OF
the solid negro vote of the South.
That is, the Washington influence
will be against instead of for the
system Of religious and social terror
ism so prevalent in every place WHORE
there are many negros. The two hun
dred negros who marched in a
democratic procession at Richmond "a
few evenings since, though they wer,
celebrating a victory did so with

Vote for Governor.

The Nashville world shows the V, t,
received by each Democratic candi-
date for Governor since 1870, and
says;
Except in the Greeley race, Bate
is the only Governor whose vote was
equal to that of the candidate for pres
ident. In 1876 Porter, for Governor,
received 123. TAO, and TiIden 1873, 185,
making difference IN favor Of Til
den Of 8 ,455. In 1880 Hancock, for
President, received 12S, 1S1 and John
V. Wright, Democratic nominee for
Governor, 9,191 and s. F. Wilsoa,
81, 424; Hancock over Wright 49, 900,
and over Wilson 7O,667. In 1882
Hawkins received, 9O,S50; Bate,
1882; Russell, 1893; Beasley, o.
572; Bate over Hawkins, 27,971; over
Hawkins, Beasly and Russell, 1890
Gov. Bate has received in this race
about 13, 900 more votes than he did
in the last, and as before stated, is the
only GCvernor;who ran up with the
President since the war, except in
the Greeley race. 1t will be seen that
Gov. Bate has received more votes
than any Democrat has ever received
in the State except TiIden, and he
came within.a few hundred of his vote
The remarkable race has been made
10y Gov. Bate, Notwithstanding the
strenuous efforts Of the anti-Commis-
sion voter and others influences.

The Coal Supply

The report OF the United State Geo
logical Survey ON the coal supply in our
country and in Europe recently pub
lished, is full of consclatory figures, for
there is much assu ance that the enorm-
Gus increase in the consumption of the
article does not necessarily threaten a
speedy extinction of the supply. Thus
while we are assured by the Forestry
Assoc: alton that our woods are suffering
rapid destruction, the coal measures,
vet undevelopod, contain full supply
for many ages. The report places the
area of the coal fields in this country at
1872, 600 square miles; that of Great Brit
am at 12,0G0 square miles, and includ-
ing the European fields and exclusive OF
China, the aggregate output for 1881
was SEQ, $50, ,OO) gross tons, of which
Great Britain furnished l54, 900, 900 tons,
aad Germany 61,000,000 tons, Spain
furnish NO only S0N, 900 tons, and our
own country 92,0G0,000 tons, two-thirds
of which consisted of bituminous coal.
During the last twelve years the output
Of coal in United States mines increased
80, ,000,O 900 tons, but we have as yet
merely touched the surface of our coal
resources. and it is probable that the
area of coal fields is very greatly under
stated. Thirty years ago the official eS-
innate was about l97, ,0G0 square miles.
Ii we stmatc 3,000,00 tons to each
square mile some idea may be gained of
the magnitude of our coal supply. There
is enough to allay all anxiety. In 1855
the whole output of coal in our country
was only 1900, coo tons, about as much
as Scotland produced, and as late as
1858 coal was sent from England to
Boston and New York for factories and
for private consumption at SO and $40
a ton. But outside the countries en-
braccd in the Geological Survey Report,
China is to be taken into consideration.
The Provinces Che-Keang, Kenng-Soo,
Hoo-Nan and Shan-Se, contain vast
areas of coal lands. Hoo-nan has 21,70O
square miles of coal-fields, principally
anthracite, and it is estimated by Ger
man scientists who have given the sub
ject strict attention, that there is coal
enough in China alone to keep the en-
tire world in fuel some hundreds of mil
lions of wears. The Current believes
that any anxiety about the coal supply
of our own or any other country is un-
justifable. Even England, where the
measures have been worked so sedulous-
", has coal enough to supply her for
about three hundred years. s.-Ihe Cur

A MLSNOMER.

TSpeaking of a grand display of wines and
braDdies at the San Jose Fair, a reporter states
that the manufacturer "seems to take Just
pride in this, his labor Of love."l
A Labor of lover Ah, well. tits true
In taste to diffor ls mortals' fate;
But were called to name such work,
A labor, I'd style it, of hate.
Hate for the veal of our common law,
Hate for all that is good and pure;
Oh, little of love for God or man
Dictated such work, am sure.
-" Takes pride in this, his labor of love?''
IT'S strange such a thing should be true
That man can feel proud Of any work
Which the devils rejoice In, too!
Can make boast of the fearful skill
To prepare the enticlng draught,
Which ever has ruined, body and soul,
Ali those who its poison have quaffedl
A Labor of lover How friends must laugh
To hear II misnomered so.
For the SOLE result such work can bring
Is misery, poverty, tears and woe.
The mothers and fathers broken hearts,
The ruined homes and wives despair,
The dying curse of the wine-cup's slave,
A hidoous lie that name declare.
A Tabor of iove?' Oh. thoughtless scribe,
Recall that false and foolish namel
Look out on the world see wines sad work,
Then drop thy head i'm deepest shHme
That thy pen could stoop so low to praise,
In human being. the wretched pride
OF skill that makes this earth hell,
And scatterS ruin far and wide.

The ROtting Process.

The universal testimony of physicians
is that beer acts upon the human sys-
TEN something like mildew on grape,
rust in wheat, blight on corn or rot
among sheep. That is, it is persist
ent, insidious sapping away of the Vi
tai powers, corrosion and decay of the
organs, until the life force is so weak
ened that death ensues from the most
trivial causes.
1t makes the body like those wooden
buildings whose timbers molder away
at the heart until there is nothing but
paper-ike shells to represent what were
once strong beams, and some day lit
tie puff of wind sends the whole thing
down in a mass of dust.
The man who drinks beer drags him.
self nearer to the grave by every glass
full. 1t is not necessary that he should
daily fill himself, like a sponge, with
the cankering fluid in order that
| it should manifest its awful effects. 1t
/ is all a question of degree. If he
drinks but little it will take longer to
produce its baleful effects than if he
drank more. He may swill so much
that erysipelas, rheumatism, pneumo-
mia, fever or brain troubles will carry
him off at twenty-five, or he may be so
moderate" that he may escape the
beer-drinkers' rot until forty-five. But
between these two he is pretty likely to
90 off.
The end is certain. Rotting has its
laws, as Interchangeable as any other nat
ural process. The dominant one is
that rotting once begun, it must run its
course. We see it in woods, meats,
and so on. The setting in of decay
may be prevented, but when it once be-
gins it is doubtful if the most powerful
anti-septics known to science can cure
or even check it. So when the body
begins rotting under the putrefying in
tluence of beer the process goes on
more or less swiftly according to the
amount of the putrefactive beverage
taken into the system.
1t is this putrefaction-thi slow rot
ting of our peoples bodies-that en-
crosses the energy of the army of men,
and vast accumulation of capital en-,
gagged in the making and sale of beer.
1t is the prime curse of the beer-drink.
ing habit that the farther the process OF
rotting proceeds the more the victim
demands of the agent that carries on
the rotting. The ingenuity of the arch
fiend himself, therefore. is brought into
play to induce men and boys to subject
their bodies to the rotting process, and
keep it up until it becomes permanent
and fixed condition. Toledo Blade.
