Five Years Intense Suffering
Cured in Five Weeks. A
Gard frnnn Il Patient.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
A lady residing at 4oo ST. Louis street,
New Orleans, has been an intense sufferer
from what seemed to all other physicians
an incurable liberation of the leg. For
five long wears of agony the ulcers were
slowly eating holes deep down to the
bone. Night after night, on passing her
house, could be heard loud screams and
cries, denoting fearful suffering. The
rasping, tearing pain was almost unen
durable, and it was no wonder she would
sometimes give way to the promptings of
her despair. She could not walk, had no
sleep, no rest, no appetite worn out.
without hope.
She heard of DR.. Hartman, at the ST.
Charles Hotel. He was consulted. He
rdiculed the idea of incurability. He
prescribed PERUNA for her just five
weeks ago. and yesterday she walked to
his office; all the sores are healed she
is we'll and happy. While she withholds
her name, any doubling are invited to
address the number of her house, as above
stated.
A Miracle in Oil City-Doctors Dumb
founded-Druggists and the People
Wild with Excitement.
From the Oil City Derrick.
Miss Maggie Martin, of this city, has
been ill and confined to her house for sew
eral years. Our best physicians failed to
give her relief. She took PERUNA, and,
to the establishment of all who knew her,
she is now up and about again. Mr.. Sim
mons, the druggist, sold 1854 bottles last
week. He buys in gross lots.
A. A. Adams, of Waverly Ohio, writes:
81 am having good trade on your
medicine, PERUNA."
James Wyatt, of Steubenville, Ohio,
writes: 81 have taken half dozen bot
ties of your PERUNA, and find it is doing
me more good than anything ever used"
Grifen & Beam, Powhattan Point, O.,
writes: " Y our medicines are having a big
run, especially PERUNA."
Mr.. Frederick Bearman, of McComb
City, Miss, had chronic catarrh very
badly for many years. The disease final
ly passed up the eustachian tube into the
middle ear, and had almost destroyed his
hearing. He has been taking PERUNA
but for short time, and his catarrh is
very much better, and he hears again as
well as any one.
PERUNA will cure any disease.

BUSINESS DEPRESSION AND POLL
TICs.-IJ is surprising that the Repub-
licans have waited so long to proclaim
that the present general depression in
business is attri butabie to their defeat
1t the recent election.
The cry was raised on Saturday in
Congress when Mr.. Hoar declared that
the business troubles of the country
were mainly due to distrust OF the Dem
ocTatic party.
He might just as truly say that dis
trust of the Democratic party caused
the wind to blow fifty miles an hour the
other day, or cansed the destruction of
a Long Island factory by lightning in
Jannary.
The business troubles of the country
hogan long before the election of a
Democratic President, and when there
was every prospect of a continuanc of
Republican power. They originated
in causes with which political parties
have nothing to do, and they will ter
inmate without regard to political infiu-
ences.
The attempt to make the Democrats
responsible for the existing depression
in business is demagogism pure and sim
ple.-N. Y. Stm.

JOHE 2. ST. JOHN, the late Prohibi-
tion candidate for President, has pub
lished a lengthy letter, denying in the
most positive and absolute terms the
charges made against him by the Re
publican press, that he offered to with
draw, or at least To conduct his canvass
in the interest OF Blaine, if the National
Republican Committee would pay him
S25, 600, and that the Committee having
refused to do 50. he was paid by the
Democratic Committee to ssay on the
track and make it lively for Blaine and
the republicans. J. S. Clarkson, editor
OF the Des Moines (Iowa) Register, and
also a member of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, and J. b. McCulIagh,
editor OF the St. Louis Globe Democrat,
a Republican paper, started these charg-
es against st. John, have persisted in
them aud have asserted that they could
prove them, but gesi ia er of them has
ever offered a spark OF evidence in sup
port of their allegations except a letter
from Jim Legate, OF Kansas, TO one II.
&. Kerens, of ST. Louis, which Legate
says is "a cold. b!OOded forgery" st.
John has publicly invited Clarkson and
McCullagh, two or three times. to pub
lish any evidence they have in support
of their allegations, and unit! they do
so, all honorable men Wal acquit him of
the charges they have preferred against
him.

THE Republican members Of the New
York Legislature met in caucus on last
Monday evening, and nominated Will
liam NJ. Eyarts, the we'll known New
York lawyer, for U. S. Senator, the
vote standing 81 for Evarts, % for Nor
ton, and for Depew. This is one of
the few instances of late years in a
northern State in which the longest
purse has failed to win the Senatorial
prize. Morton being now Minister to
France. and very rich man, was, of
course, not present at Albany to manage
his own case, but he had able and
skilled representatives on the ground 20
take care of his interests, and If they
were as literally supplied with the sim
ews of war as it was universally believed
they would be, his defeat is most re-
markable and can alone be attributed to
the worst kind of management. AS
Morton, however, had nothing 10 back
him up except his money, it is a salts
faction to know that majority of the
Republicans. even in New York Leg
islature, were proof against its seduc-
tive influence. Mr.. Evarts was AttOr.
ney General during portion of Andrew
Johnson s administration, and Secretary
of State for a considerable portion of
Hayes fraudulent term. Johnson ap-
pointed him because he was his abest
counsel when be was impeached before
the Senate by Thaddeus Stevens, Ben.
Butler and few other Republican
fanatics, and Hayes placed him at the
head of his administration because he
assisted in urging his case before the
- Z Electoral Commission. and aided in
putting him into the Office to which
Samuel J. Tilden had been elected.

IRELAND'S IMPROVED CONDITION.
The LORdon correspondent of the New
York World had an interview on Sun
day with Mr.. William O'Brien, editor
of United Ireland, and a member of
Parliament for MallOw, In the county
CORK. lU answer To a question by the
correspondent as TO tho condition of the
people in Ireland, Mr.. O7Brien said ::
The prospects OF the Irish peasautry
were never better than they are at the
present moment. There have been
many winters before this when it has
required desperate means 10 obtain food
and fuel. Thank God, that is over
The lrsh people are now 50 situated
that they can take care of hemseives
and each other, and that is about all
they have ever asked, Come what NAV
there will be no more famine in Ireland
to appeal To the Oenevuieuce of the resi-
OF the world. The farmers have learn
ed the lesson taught for So many years
by Charles Parnel!, that they must ST.
cure for themselves and for their chill
dren decent means OF support, they, as
a rule, striving to support themselves
properly The landlords now recognize
the fact that the support of the family
is the hrSt charge upon the rental of Il
farm, and their claims upon the laud
are gradually slipping away from them.
Their interest III the farms is worth bur
little now and 1t is decreasing year 10y
year. The level of comfort in Irish
fatmeTs' homes has been distinct " rails
ed within the last few years, and Irs-
land will never again be compelled TO
ga. cap in hand, To ask America or any
olheI power TO keep her people from
starving.

STATE SENATOR LEWIS r. EMERY,
OF Mexican county, who is loyal Re-
publican, but at the same time the most
bitter anti-CamerOn man in the State,
openly asserts that he furnished six
hundred dollars to Thomas Y. Cooper.
Chairman Of the Republican State Com
mittee, to aid Blaine's election that
Cooper diverted the money from it's in
tended purpose and spent It in securing
the election of Cameron's friends to the
Legislature. Emery also makes the
charge that Cooper even sent some of
the money into his own (Eme ry's) dis
trict to defeat him, owing 20 his well
known hostility to Cameron. Cooper
denies the last allegation, but judging
the size Of Hercules from the dimeu-
sions Of his foot its looks like the very
thing that Cooper wOuid do. He is a
wonderfully tricky politician and in
ways that are dark is hard to beat.

About three months ago John Kelly, a
peddler, of Allegheny, who had a route t 7 >
the country, which he went over with a
horse and wagon, very mysteriously disap-
peared during one OF his trips. He left
home s usual. and since then not the slight
est trace or the man has been obtained
though detectives have been at work upon
the case. About one month ago Joseph
Richell. Mrs. kelly's nephew, obtained a
horse and wagon and took up his uncie's
business to dispose of a lot of stock left bv
him. He made one trip over the route. and
was SO much pleased with the business that
he decided to follow It permanently. About
two weeks ago he started out with fresh
supply Of goods. Since then nothing has
been seen or heard of him, and his disap-
perance is also profound mystery. As
both men were liable to have considerable
sums vt money about them besides the
goods, Mrs. Kelly greatly fears they have
been robbed and murdered

A BILL was before the Legislature at
its last session Sizing the salaries of all
county officers in counties containing
over forty and less than sirty thousand
inhabitants, but no final action was ta-
ken on it. The provisions of the bill
applied to nineteen counties, Cambria
being one of them, and a similar bill has
been introduced into the Senate since
the present session began two weeks
ago. The salaries are fixed as follows :
Sheriff, $1,000; Prothonotary, g, 900 ;
Clerk of Orphans Court, 81, 900: Clerk
of Quarter Sessions, 81, 900; Register,
Sl,5OO Recorder, 81 500 Treasurer,
$1,000; District Attorney, 81, 200; Cor
oner, $1,000; County Commissioner,
5000; Jailer, 500. This bill will an
swer its purpose in regard to the coun-
ties enumerated in it in which the Off
ces of Register, Recorder and Clerk of
the Orphans Court are separate and
distinct and not all three held by the
same person, as is the case with Cam
bria. As the bill stands in its present
shape the salary of the Register, Re-
corder and Clerk of the Orphans Court
in this county would be $4,000, and we
think that no man will contend that
this is not too much. By the terms of
the bill the salary of the PIothonotary
and Clerk of the Sessions is fixed at
$1,000, and the pay of the Register, SC,
ought to be the same. We call the at
tention of Senator Boggs to this matter
now so that he can have a proviso in
serted in the bill, if he concurs in our
views, limiting the salary of the Regis
ter, Recorder and Clerk of the Orphans
Court, when all three offices are held by
the same person, to 5000. The salary
Of 81, 900 fixed by the bill for the Coro-
ner is exhOI bitant beyond all measure,
and it would be the right thing to limit
that officers compensation either to the
fees which the law now prescribes for
him, or else fix his salary at a reasona-
BILE sum. When we can procure print
ed copy Of the bill we may have some
thing more to say about it.

CONGRESSMAN WM. ID. KELLEY, of

is faniiiarly called, in a conversation in
Washington the other day about the
present hard times and the assertion
made in the House last Saturday by
Hiscock, Republican member from
New York, that they were precipitated
upon the country by CIeveland's cleo
tion, said that had he been present in
the House he would have taken issue
with Hiscock, and told the House and
the country that Cleveland's election
had nothing to do with the matter. He
said he had reached the age of three
score and ten and was too old to be
swayed by political considerations.
The trouble was deep seated and world
wide, and ClevelanG's election couId
have no connection with the over-pro-
duction and consequent depression of
business in Great Britain, Austria and
other European countries. II should
have inquired" said Judge Kelley.
what the election of Cleveland had TO
do with the depreciation of the value of
real estate in England some ninety per

OF machinery had revolutionized the
world; that the present social conditions
are worn out and that we are on the eve
of such q far-reaching crisis as that
which destroyed the feudal system and
brought about the French revolution.
