What's the Moon Doing.

Signs of peculiar and decisive changes
were observed on the slender crescent of the
present new moon. An astronomer within
the past ten days claims to have discovered
something unusual going on in the great
peak of Tycho Brahe. big mountain which
has always been prominent object on the
eastern side of the moon. Tycho is vol
canic crater, nearly 10000 feet high and so
miles in diameter, and it had, up to within a
few days. peak a mile high standing in this
crater This peak, which was only bright
spot in the midst of a blace crater, has sud
denly grown to be gigantic mountain, near
ly filling the entire basin of the crater, and
towering above every other mountain on the
moon. II is estimated now to be thrice as
high as it was, and promises some startling
phenomena. The moon has been called
dead globe, but of its eternal fires can give it
auv claim to life it is certainly living
corpse. The signs of renewal of volcanic
action, which begun to be discussed a centu-
~ ago. are now not merely scientific nuts to
be cracked by the astronomers, but they are
claimed to be facts for the people.

"satticefactery.

Alternative, diuretic, and tonic drugs known

genuine Honduras SarsaParilla, Yellow

Ii is a highly concentrated medicine,

1t has received the hearty endorsement
of the leading men in the medical profess

in their practice.
1t contains no poisonous minerals or
other dangerous drugs, the use of which
for temporary effect in the many crude
and cheap mixtures sold as alternatives,
produces effects on the system often worse
than the diseases they are offered to cure.
1t costs no more than any other, but

1t has been before the public for nearly
forty years, and has constantly grown
in popular favor, both at home and
abroad. until there is hardly place in the
civilized world where it has not a host Of
friends, made so by its marvellous cures.
1t has been used in. and approved by.
at least 100000 families in the United
States, and ,OOO, 600 throughout the world.
Women have especial reasons for COM
mending it.
1t has proven its potency in curing
obstinate. deeply-seated, and long-stand-
ing diseases caused by vitiation of the
blood. 1t must net, however, be eX-
pected and is not claimed that a single
bottle will cure such cases; but patients
should persevere in the use of this remedy
until radical cure is effected.
1t is the only blood-purifier that has won

They have been laughing IN their
sleeves and out of their sleeves at
what /?
Madison county is against them
in fair and open contest by 1000
majority.
Lawrence has Just buried their
hopes in that county in advance by
a rousing majority.
Jackson has come ont of the Au-
gust struggle flying Independent
colors.
Limestone belongs rightfully to
the Republican column.
Colbert the home Of Judge Steele
and the astute Jackson, will give
them no quarters.
For them Morgan is shaky and
mu It be doubly fortified to stand.
Generously give them the rest OF
the field.
Is not theirs gloomy prospect
to make jolly over? To laugh and
crow and jubilate about?
The people of the Eighth Con
gressional District will keep their
eyes open as never before on every
thing worthy Of notice in this Con-
gressional canvass. They want to
weigh we'll the arguments and prin-
ciples upon which those who ask
their support, stand. If Gen. Wheel,
er stands on the free trade or the
protection division of the Democrat
ic platform they want to know it.
Too intelligent to be mislead by
sophistry, too honest to be swayed
by prejudice, looking forward to the
best interest of the country, the citi
zens of this District will refuse to be
pliable tool in the hands Of any
party.
A review of the situation more
than ever convinces us that some
body will come to judgment in No
vember. He laughs best who laughs
last.
