THE HAPPINESS OF ELYsIuI

Elvsium was the name given by the an
cient Greeks to the resting place OF the
righteous dead, where they should ENJOY
eternal peace and happiness. None but
the pure in heart, thetruthiul and the gen
ero,is could tread the asphodel meadows of
Of the Elysian fields and it was land Of
everlasting delight. When, therefore, Mrs.
Kate Sherman, of Streator, ILL.,, said re-
Gently that she had been in Elysium,
though of course she spoke fguratively, it
argued that some great good fortune and
Joy had come to her. And such, indeed,
was the truth. Mrs Sherman tells how it
was in this way:
81 have suffered from innammatory
rheumatism for more than thirty years.
Heretofore the pain would snccumb to the
application of hot wet flannel, but at my
last attack circumstances had conspired to
aggravate the disease, and | became help
less. My hands and feet were swollen

third dose was in Elysium, and was free
from pain. BY the time ] lad taken
bottle and half felt so wonderfully i'm
proved that ! discontinued the medicine.
l have an ungovernable dislike to all med
icinc, but willsay that Ath,ophoros prob
ably saved my life, us | was running down
rapidly, and could not have endured the
pain much longer 1t afforded ne the
only relief ever experienced except from
hot water, and that had failed mc.'
The Rev. Samuel Porter, of Crete, ILL.,,
says of the effect OF Athlophoros upon his
wife:
Mrs. Porter was very much benefited
by the first bottle. Before she commenced
taking it she could not walk, she was so
badly afflicted with rheumatism, but she
was soon able to walk. She sleeps well.
Mr.. John Ilews, our neghbor, was very
badly off with the rheumatism last winter,
and was not able to work or even to get ont
of his room. One bottle of Athlophoros
cured him, hut he has to keep it by him to
take when he feels his old difficulties
Another clergyman, the Rev. G. Hart
ley, of Iluntley, ILL.,, gives this as his ex-
perience with the remedy:
For six months I suffered severely
from an attack of rheumatism. A friend
sent me notice of several reliable cures
effected by Athlophoros. | procured the
medicine, and less than one bottle COM
p!etely cured me, and have not had the
least indication Of a return of the painful
disease. | have recommended it to others
and results similar to those in my own
case have followed. lregard AthlophOros
us invaluable"
A. M. Blakney, who lives at the corner of
Union and Green streets, Decatur, H.,
only confirms the general testimony to the
value of Athlophoros when he says:

with very severe attack of rheumatism

Republican Principle.

A foreigner calmly considering the
action Of the two American parties
would be in doubt as to who are en-
titled to the control of tie Govern
mcnt. Letting alone tue fact that
the republicans have been beaten and
don't know what TO do, they have
been in power so long that they have
lost all pollteness, and they havn't
actually got the courtesy to retire till
ther are forced. They very slowly
and courteously retire then. Why a
republican Senate did not have the
courtesy to confirm the nomination
Of Gen Law:on by the President as
minister to Russia. Though it would
have been ri hit and legal. 1t failed
to confirm another nomination. And
now that republican postmaster at
Rome, n. Y, has sent his protest to
the President against his removal
That man Blaine ought to be asEam-
ed Of his party. Having been beaten
and having surrendered they hold the
fort till they are forced to retire.
Nothing strange for the republicans
though.

over Washington City last week. the
Washington monument was struck
three times by lightning withou,
causing the least damage. Col. Casey
examined the aluminium tip next
morning with powerful telescope
and found it as sharp and bright IS
when it was placed on It's summit
some months since.
That monument can stand more
than the republican party. Wherever
democratic lightning strikes once, as
upon the republican postmaster at
Rome, wall and howl is raised If
democratic lightning strikes three
good blows upon the republican party
as upon the Tariff, the Blair and PEN
sion Bills and Reform, the republican
party cannot be found with the most
powerful telescope ever imagined. It
Is not strange though, something pure
and solid and true sustains the non
Ement.
