Cancer Conquered.

For seven years past l have been suffering with cancer on my face. At first It gave me but little trouble, and paid very little attention to 1t. After time it began to increase ln size, and also to pain me. The sim pie remedies were applied to alleyi, ate the pain, but was not conscious of it's true nature, thinking 1t only sore of malignant nature, and would soon pass away under the other treatment. In this was mlstakens as the place continued to grow, ex- z tending into my nose, from which vellowish discharge very offensive in character. It was also intlaned, and annoyed me great deal. About eight months ago l was in Atlanta, a. the house of friend, Mrs. C. D. H., who observed the condition ol my face, and so strongly yecommend ed the use of Swift's Specific that Il determined to make al effort to pro cure it. In this 1 was successful, and began its use. The influence o' the medicine at first was to some what aggravate the sore; but soon the inflammation was allayed, ano l7 began to improve after the first ie" bottles. My general health has greatly improved. l am stronger and am able to do any kind Of woIR' The cancer on my face began to ae' crease and the ulcer to heal, un til there is not vestige of 1t lelt-- only little scar marks the place where it had heen. l am deyoutiy grateful for this wonderful! fele,, from what everybody thought wouu be certain death am ready io answer all questions relative to ''i'' care.

Our rooster mounts the fence once more, and crows only as democratic roosters crow. The great battle has been fought Tn New York and Vir- ginia, and victory perches on our banners. The news is told in the glad words below:
 New York.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-There was a very heavy vote boiled throughout the state. Returns from 265 election dis tricts, outside of New York and Kings counties, give Davenport 55,7S2, Hill 46,577, Bascom 2,665, net democratic gain of 1873 as compared with Cleve- lands vote. The New York City Press Bureau estimates that Hill will leave New York City and Kings county with majority Of 60,000. CIeveland's ma jority in New York and Kings county was 5S.775. If Hill continues to gain outside of these two counties, his cleo ton is assured by larger majority than was given Cleveland last year.
 Midoighi--Tndicafion now point to Hills election by 10000 plurality over Davenport.

Those who complain of rainy weather
do not realize that not only does the
earth need washing. but also the all
which We breathe SO many times day.
The effect of rain upon the air and the
contents of rain have been made sub
ject of examination by the Meteorologi-
cal Council of London during the past
two years. Three stations were used
for collecting the rainfall--one at st.
Bartholomew Hospital, another al,
Upper Hamilton Terrace, in the north.

. Hackney. 1t was found that the city
rain contained twice as much impurity
as that which fell at the suburban
stations. and the impurities gathered at
all the stations were in the same proper.

to be sulphates and chlorides. and il
was discovered that the rain caught at
st. Bartholomew was always contami.
mated with SCOT and disagreeable to the
taste. The summer rain is more impure
than that of winter. and in the mixture
of London rain and SCOT a trace OF
arsenic is found. lin summer the rain
was shown to contain larger quantity
of sulphates than chlorides. which was
supposed to be owing to the decomposi.
ton of animal and vegetable matter
during the warm months. After the
rain has been falling for some time the
impurities are found to diminish, and
the satisfaction with which we breathe
in the washed air after good rainfall
il an evidence that our senses bear
spontaneous testimony to its puritica-
ton.
1t has been supposed that London
rain is acid. but experiments indicate
that such is not the case. except when
the rain is collected in an open vessel
and left exposed for some time. Under
such circumstances the water will
