A MAN WHO SUFFERED MENTAL AND
PHYSICAL AGONY EIGHT YEARS PRO-
n1NJc HIS HAPPINESS

A MAN WHO SUFFERED MENTAL AND
PHYSICAL AGONY EIGHT YEARS PRO-
CLAIMS HIS HAPPINESS.
Mental agony is dreadful, but when that
and physical ailment combine, it is simply
terrible. Such was the condition of Geo.
w. Frampton, of Huntingdon, w. Va,
for eight years. He was sufferer of me-
croses-that is, the leg bone at the ankle
was inflamed and mortified, which caused
running sores. He says: "Pieces of bone
the size of silver three cent piece came
out of the sores on my leg. The discharge
from the sores was almost continual, and
was unable to walk. For eight years l
have been doctoring. had been under
the treatment of physician at Newport,
KY, for year; another at Burlington, o.,
attended me for three years, and doctor
here at Huntingdon worked with me tor
a long time. None of them did me any
good, and they all finally said my case
was hopeless. A few months ago l COM
menced trying PERUNA, and now l am
we'll can walk as good as anybody,
and have perfect use of my limbs. -
Mr.. Alf. Lusk, Wooster, Ohio, writes:
CDR. HARTMAN, Columbus, y. have
been a great sufferer from that dreaded
disease, chronic catarrh of the stomach.
I have thoroughly tried your MANALIN,
and it has done me more good ten-fold
than all the doctors prescriptions, and I
have used legions of them.
Mr.. Edgar Harte, Smeltzer P. O., Elk
county, Pa, writes: " l have bought sew
eral bottles of your PERUNA, and find it
to be of great benefit. l also gave it to
some of my friends; they experienced
the same result"
Mr.. L. r. Wollen, As and Al Ross
street, Pittsburgh, Pa, writes: " am tax
ing PERUNA with good results, and can
highly recommend it to all. l have ap-
piled at the different drug stores for one
of your books. They claim they have
none on hand at present. Please do me
the favor to send me one.
w. w. Russell, druggist, Canonsburg,
Pa, writes: l handle your medicine,
PERUNA. I have sold immense quantities
of it, and consider it a staple article. l
have great many customers who think
there is no medicine like it for a tonic or
for building up the system. l recon-
mend it as safe and reliable remedy"
Calista Fishel, Malvern, Ohio, writes !:
81 take pleasure in recommending the use
of PERUNA and MANALIN to any one
afflicted with any form of lung or bron-
chial trouble. 1 have been for some time
afflicted with very troublesome cough,
but few bottles of PERUNA entirely
cured me-"

CLEVELAND AND BLAINE-SToP AND
THINK. Esteemed friends demonstrate
with us for supporting Cleveland. What
would they have? To support Butler would
be to support Blaine; to support Blaine is
altogether against our grain. Even if there
be objections to Cleveland, for Heavens
sake see how they fade when compared with
the horrible features of Blaine's record!
Blaine was Know Nothing editor; he was
Buckshot Fosters ally against Parnell;
he was the defamer of Archbishop Hughes;
he circulated the Madigan circular to light a
flame of bigotry against Catholics but nine
years ago; that same year, in 1875, he in
troduced in Congress a sectarian amend
ment to the Constitution Of the United
States; in 1871 he made an Orange speech
in Saratoga on the subject of the Twelfth of
July riots. There is no escape for US; we
must face this most repulsive character of
modern politics; we must oppose him by
supporting his only opponent, Cleveland.

From the Lynchburg News.
A Cav DeceiYer.

1t appears now that Mr.. Blaine played
the part of a gay deceiver after his second
secret management to the springs alone,
passed himself off as single man, courted
one or more young ladies, and probably
tried to get up another clandestine marriage.
Mr.. Blaine seems to have had mania for
matrimony, but of the private description.
Even after having been twice married, ac-
cording to his own statement, to the same
lady, he tried to inveigle another. What
sort of idea did Mr.. Blaine have of the sa-
credness of the matrimonial tie in those
days of his wild oats ? He seems to have
regarded it as thing taken on or thrown
off at will.
The indianapolis Sentinel charges that
after the second marriage in Pennsylvania,
in March, 1851, Blaine returned to Ken
lucky and passed himself off as single
man, as the following personal letter from
Kentuckian of high standing, who knows
Blaine well and has no ill-will against him,
shows
LOUISVILLE, KY, September 20.
Dear Sir: have read Blaine's letter to
Phelps. do not believe his statement of a
secret marriage. He left the brennan
Springs in December, 1851. After the SEES
sion closed for vacation in June of that year
he remained at brennan Springs through
the watering season and passed himself off
as single man; at least, no one knew he
was married. I understand at the time,
and have heard it reliably stated often since,
that during the summer of 1851 he courted
at least one and possibly two ladies. This
conduct of his can be easily proven. In
March of 1851 he was absent at Pitts
burg, but returned and stayed through the
watering season and after that taught I'M
til December.
Mr.. Blaine has been called on to answer
the above in court, and it will be interest
ing to see what he will say.

BLAINE's BIRTHPLACE.-A Brownsville
Penn, letter to the Philadelphia Timet
says: The strongest Republican vote against
James G. Blaine will he in his own birth
place, near here, in Washington county
He will there be defeated near two to one
and solely because of his failure to attend
the funeral of his mother in 1871, because
it would have involved recognition of he1
Catholic religion. She was buried without
any funeral ceremony from the Catholic
church near town. Washington county
will give majority against Blaine. This
place, although Republican by 60 majority
will give Cleveland majority, and this
county, Fayette, will give Cleveland from
1900 to 1000.

Washad-0Ut Hair

There is sort of pallid, chalky com
plexion which the novelists call washed
out complexion" 1t is CHASTITY enough,
and no mistake. Washed-out, faded, dis
colored, or parti-colored hair is almost as
repusive and melancholy. Parker's Hair
Balsam will restore your hair to its
original color, whatever it was; brown, au
burn, or black. Why wear moss on your
head, when you may easily have lively,
shining hair.

A PLUCKY WIFE.-The announcement
has bee n made that Gen. E. S. Bragg, who
scored in such severe terms the Tammany
leaders in the Democratic national conven-
ton, was last week nominated for Congress
by the Democrats of the second district of
Wisconsin after protracted deadlock. An
incident of the convention was as follows
Two years ago Gen. Bragg was called
away III the midst of deadlock by the
illness of his wife, and he was defeated for
denomination. During the recent dead
lock she again met with an accident and
had an arm broken. She. however, tele-
graphed to her husband: ''You stay where
you are. I'm all right" And Gen. Bragg
came out all right.

We get some idea Of the extent of oul
territory by consulting official figures Of
sales of public land from year to year. In
the twelve months ending August 81, 1888,
about 100000 acres, or42, 900 square
miles, were sold. This is equal in extent
to the state of Tennessee, larger than Ken.
lucky or Ohio or Maine. 1t is larger than
six of the original states added together
Generally speaking, this enormous terri
tory was added to the extent of cultivated
lands. Dakota leads, of course, in the
number of acres disposed of, but the figures
include sales in every state and territory in
which the United States has land in the
market.

A GENTLE HINT.

Her lips were like the leaves, she said.
BY autumn's crimson tinted;
Some people autumn leaves preserve
By pressing them, she limited,
The meaning of the gentle hint
The lover did discern,
And so he clasped her round the neck,
And glued his lips to her'n.

Though Blaine should gain his suit for SIAN

Who thinks he'll thus escape from Mulligan.

BY HENRY ]. W. DAM.
She was theosophic miss
Who sighed for sweet Nirvana;
She talked of esoteric this
And that in a mystic manner.
She wore wide and psychic smile,
Used diction transcendental.
Two suitors her besieged meanwhile
Both softly sentimental
The one, he was drummer bland,
Who wore lofty collar;
He knew not things were hollow, and
He chased the nimble dollar.
The other was soulful youth,
Who talked of things symbolic;
Enamored quite Of inner truth
And predisposed to collie.
The one, he talked of common love,
In tones that made her shudder,
The other scared with her above
To misty realms of Buddha.
She sent the first upon his way
With snub unmitigated-
Upon the other smiled, and they
By Hymen were translated.
FOUR YEARS LATER.
Within a lofty Harlem flat
She's found her sweet Nirvana;
She does not think of this and that
AS marshy zephyrs fan her;
She dremily wipes Buddha's nose
And spanKeth Zoroaster,
And mends their transcendental clothes
Torn by occult disaster.
Her adept husband still can solve
The mysteries eternal.
But for some reason can't evolve
A salary diurnal.
He still floats on to cycles new,
But fills his astral body
With-not the CheeIah's milky brew
But Jersey apple toddy.
She eloquently mourns her life
And objurgates her Latin,
To daily see the drummer's wife
Drive by her clad in satin.
She has been heard, in fact, to say
When somewhat discontinued,
Though 'osophies' hold social sway,
Though 'ologies' enjoy their day,
L think, in love, the good old way
By far the best invented"

UNION SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER

can honest man is the noblest work Of
God.' In very brief time, says the Alex.
Gazette, sixty millions of people will render
verdict for honest government or against it.
1t is a momentous case that has been pre-
scented to the country, and the world awaits
the Judgment with anxiety; for the princi-
pies established at the foundation of this
Republic are at stake, and civil liberty and
constitutional freedom hang in the balance.
The questions that we're multitudinous at
the opening of the campaign, and embraced
the tariff, the protection of American
workmen, a vigorous foreign policy and the
improvement of the American merchant
marine, have narrowed down into one vital
and all-absorbing question, and that i'm
portant question stands out boldly and de-
| family and proclaims for honesty. The
most important factor and feature of all
human transactions is honesty, for without
| its controlling influence trade would be
piracy, commerce would be highway rob-
berry, and the foundation rocks of all bust
v.
Honesty is the pledge that renders con-
tracts sacred, that inspires confidence and
| creates trust. 1t is the connecting link
that holds society together in honorable
condition. 1t is the pillar that supports all
successful and enlightened governments.
| 1t is the sacred armor that renders man
| invulnerable, and turns the shafts of cal
| umny as the rock turns back the sea. 1t is
that bright distinction that marks man
as true during life, and makes for him
history after death. It is the star by which
commerce is steered, the orbit around
which revolves the business world. 1t dig
niies, it ennobles, it achieves; it gives to
the lowly a nobility; it creates for all
special order of merit And measuring up
to these high requirements is the man
whose wise direction and royal injunction
''to tell the truth, come whence it may,
cost what it will, stamp him as of the fiber
of which wise rulers are made. Grover
Cleveland's public life. from it's inception
to this time, has been record of the fair
est stamp, his official conduct of the high
est type, and his executive department of
the most stainless character. He has not
rewarded thieves for their support, nor
upheld criminals in their attempt to de
fraud; he has not used official place and
| power and knowledge to improve his pri-
vate fortune, nor has he degraded the pub
lie service to promote his private ends. AS
a sheriff he was vigilant, as an attorney for
the commonwealth was faithful, as mayor
he was honest, as Governor he is pure, and
as the chief executive of this nation he will
be steadfast, true and incorruptlble- Cleve-
lands advance IN life has not been the re-
ward of INSCRIPTIONS dealings, nor the re-
suit of large personal following, but has
been the reward that should always follow
rectitude, high manhood, and devotion to
the public service.

Wicked Wampum.

The citizens of Wampum, this coun-
ty. are somewhat excited over scan
dial that has Just leaked out in their
midst, and that, Notwithstanding the
prominence of one of the actors in the
affair, it reached the courts. For some
time past a young woman known as
Miss Harvey, whose parents reside in
East Palestine. has been living in
Wlmpum, ard being quite handsome
had a host of admirers, and before she
had been there very long gossi ps whis-
pered that all was not right. On We'd
nesday Miss Harvey appeared before
Alderman Bowman, Of this city, and
made information against w H. Brady,
prominent citizen and wel-to-do mer
chant of Wampum, in which she
ch lrged him with adultery. Brady
was brought to this city Thursday
night and held long interview with
the girl and the outcome was that the
case was dismissed Mr. Brady de-
MES his guilt, and his many friends
throughout Lawrence county are loath
to believe him so. The fact that a
young man named James, who runs
billiard parlor in Wampum, and who
it is said brought the girl to that viii
lage, was instrumental in bringing the
case against Mr. Brady, and that the
charge was withdrawn, show there
was some motive in bringing the ac-
tion. Castle NelUs.

The Presbytery Of Butler.

Met in Butler, Tuesday, April %. Rev.
George w. Bean was elected Moderator and
Rev John S. Atkinson clerk. Rev. K. 3.
Walker, d. D., and elder John T. Bingham
were appointed principal Commissioners to the
General Assembly, and Rev. James III. Mar
shall and elder Porter Phipps alternates.
The overture of the General Assembly on
the Revised Book of Discipline was answered
in the negative, and that of reducing the size
of the Assembly in the affirmative. The eve-
ming session was devoted to a discussion of the
claims of the Gospel Ministry on young men,
and the duty of parents to press the considera-
tion of these claims upon the minds of their
sons.
A narrative of the state of religion in the
bounds of presbytery was read by Rev. w. Z
Oller. Though no remarkable revival has
been enjoyed in the Churches, their condition
is one of much encouragement. The next
meeting was appointed at Martinsburg, on the
4th Tuesday of June.
All the ministers of the Presbytery and
very full representation of the eldership were
present, and the meeting was very pleasant
one.
A long article might be written concerning
the different items of business, but the brief
statement now given of what was done is per-
haps sufficient.

Marriage Anniversary in Brady
Township.

The twenty fifth anniversary of the marriage
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. c. Snyder was celebrated at
their residence in Brady township on the 7th
OF April About one hundred and fifty friends
and neighbors were assembled and partook of
a substantial repast, after which Mr.. Samuel
Mersheimer was called upoa to preside over
the meeting. After prayer by Rev. Williams,
Mr.. Snyder in few well-timed remarks eA-
pressed his thanks to the assemblage for the
hearty demonstration of their friendship and
good will and extended to all hearty welcome.
Quite number of valuable presents were be-
slowed upon the host and hostess, the presen-
tation speech being made by Rev. Williams in
a brief but eloquent address and responded to
by j. NJ. Cornelius, Esq, in his usual happy
and humorous vein. After few hours spent
in social intercourse to the enjoyment of all
present, the assenblage dispersed. Mr. Sny
der and his estimabe wife have reason to feel
proud of the high esteem iu which they are
held in the neighborhood in which they re-
side, as evidenced by the hearty out-pouring
of their neighbors on this occasion.
