MT. Wiley K. Hood, known to
 almost every man, woman and

 ing testimony as to the virtues of
 Swift's Specific (S. s. S.)
 For twelve years suffered from
 mercurial poison, with all of its
 torturing pains. l was treated by
 several physicians, and was dosed
 on iodide ofpotsssium abundantly. This treatment increased my trou, ble. My blood was thoroughly in. fected; my skin was thick and yel. low; my stomach was weak so that
 l could not retain my food; my person was broken out with sores
 which became offensive ulcers, and my strength was gone. Mercury brought on rheumatism, and pot. ash had ruined my stomach, and thought there'was nothing left for me to do but to die-so thought many of my fsiends as I went hob bing along the street. tried all the remedies within reach, but to no avail. Atlast a friend suggest, ed the use of Swift's Specific Like many other drowning men, 1 was ready to catch at any straw that came in sight. I procured six bottles from Dr. Long. The first bottle gave me hope. The nausea of thestomach disappeared, and by the timeI had taken the third bottle the hard Jumps on my neck went away; the ulcers were healed; my complexion cleared up; my skin smoothed off, and my strength began to return, I have taken in all about thirty bottles, It has made a new man of me. l am man of G3 years, but am strong and vigorous, eat anything and do any kind of work. l am sound and well. It is my honest opinion that Swift's Specific has taken me from the graves mouth and added many years to my life. I would recon. mend it to suffering humanity ev- erywhere, not as a universal pana- cea for all diseases, but as a spe. cliic for all blood and skin diseas- es, such as blood poison, rhenma- tism, .crofuls, eczema, letter and catarrh, for l have seen it tried on most all of these. am ready and more than willing to answer all in.

THERE has been no come-around in the journalistic position equal to that of the New York Sun, It says: "One thing is clear about President Clev~land's adminlstra- ton. It is not commonplace. It is not thing of routine, whose acts everybody can predict. It is independent, original, guided by its own purposes, and not by those of any outside force. To the phil osophic observer it is the most in, teresting administration that we have seen since Gen. Grant first ecame president.

THE editor of the South Chicago Advocate, in its last weeks issue hits "Uncle Sam" some hard licks about the condition of the United States jail and court House at Fort Smith in this State. Accor. ding to his statement, about one hundred prisoners are crowded in- to two rooms, promiscuously. and filth and uncleaness abounds. It is to be hoped the National gov ernment will remedy this evil.

WHILE we think the Arkansas Democrat did right in publishing MT, Millsaps' letter, justas written and furnished by him with . re- quest to publish, we did not think either it or its author of sufficient importance to warrant our publish ing it. In fact we were ashamed of the whole thing, and we can readily understand how every in- telligcnt man in Van Buren county must have blushed at the reading of 1t. For 1t cannot be otherwise than disgraceful. to any county to be represented, or misrepresented, iu the legislature by so veritable an ignoramu, as the author of the letter must be. While we know that Van Buron county has better material and n fair proportion of intelligent, cultivated people, we insist that sh c was unfortunate in selecting Nillsaps to represent her. Some other counties had similar representatives there, and for the good of the country it might have been we'll if all such had published an open letter, if the effect would be what we think it will in Van Buren, viz:-the sc. lection of better material next time. "-Malvern News.
 The action of Mir. Millsaps, of Van Ruren county, and Hudgins, of Polk county, will certainly serve as a lesson to the voters of the entire State, and as the News states above, select better materi- al next time.

AN atmospheric electric current caused considerable excitement near Frankfort, Dakota, few days ago. It travelled about six feet from the ground. It was no- ticed by the peculiar effect it had upon stock. A buzzing sound was heard similar to that made by swarmiug bees, the snapping of electric sparks was also heard. The current flowed from the west to east, and was said to be six or seven miles in width.

Keen the Head Clean.

Keeping the head perfectly clean,

Gazette, is great aid to health. A
distinguished physician, who has spent
much of his tine at quarantine, said
that person whose head was washed
every day rarely ever took contagious
diseases, but when the hair was allowed
to become dirty and matted, it was
hardly possible to escape infection.
Many persons find speedily relief foi
nervous headache by washing the head
thoroughly in weak soda water. We
have known cases almost wholly curef
in almost ten minutes by this simpl,
remedy. A friend finds it the creates

A Great Country.

Yes indeed, MIR. ex-Confederate, ex-
Governor Jarvis, Of North Carolina,
there Is nothing like this in history.
The Governor was a few weeks ago ap-
pointed Minister to Brazil, and a few
days ago he was escorted to the State
department to take the oath of Office.
When asked to hold up his right baud
he said "Oh, no. l cannot do that,
for some of my Northern friends few
years ago made that impossible" He
then turned to the two Senators of his
own State who were with him, and with
much fervor, said
Gentlemen, this is the grandest and
most magnanimous country on the face
of the earth. Twenty years ago we
were doing our best to destroy this gov
eminent, but failed. Now, instead OF
repatriation or any other punishment
You are Senators of the United States
and am going abroad as an officia
representative of our country at for
eign court. There is nothing like thi
in history"
Governor Jarvis spoke the real, sole
truth that time. He seems to appreci
ate the situation, as but few of his ex
rebel friends do. Amongst 80 many OK
COnfederates who have denounced tn
Republican administrations, that con
ferred these great privileges upon
class of people that deserved expatris
ton and Acknowledgement, as tyranni
cal and oppressive, it is relief to fin
one who fully understands the situatio
and realizes that great favor has bee
conferred upon him. Ex-Governo
Jarvis stands out in bold relief whe
compared with Garland, Lamar, Butte
Hampton and even Bayard.

Legitimate, and the election was honestly

it is said by gentlemen who profess to
know, that the full Republican vote of
the ward has never yet been polled, but
will be at the approaching election, and
that it will be found the vote of Satur-
day even will be exceeded. The vote
for Blaine last November was 303, only
55 less than the vote cast on Saturday
AS there was only the President of City

dent of that ward, it is not strange If
hundred or more Democrats went to tn
polls and voted for him, by promising
to vote for the successful nominee.
