A HELPLESS People
How Greater Suffering than Far
auakCs or PestiIencc are n1si
and overcome.

The greatest suffering which followed
The awful Charleston earthquake was among
women aud children. Men are supposed TO
be able TO care for themselves but when
weak woman or delicate child trembling
with fear is compelled to sleep in the open
air it becomes terrible And yet women
and children are every day enduring suffer
ings that are even worse than Earthquakes.
To see a patient and yet feeble wife and
mother dragged down by disease, bravely
striving to care for her household; to wit
ness a puny child whose outlook for life,
seems only one of misery is worse than any
outward evils that one can imagine.
When women have those weak and de
pressed feelings, that sense of bearing down,
pain in the back, ls5adache, loss of color,
lack of all life and energy, our sympathies
are aroused and 1t is then we seek q relief.
But it is often a fruitless task. 70 restore
Youthful bloom and beauty, and render life
happy instead of miserable, is indeed diff
cult. But it can be done. Read the follow
ing from well known man in Pittsburg.
He said:
81 must tell you of the improved state OF
Mrs VS. health had feared she was going
into decline, for she was continually
troubled with dragging and weary feeling
In going about her household duties she
complained of pain in her back, dizziness
in her head, and general lack OF interest in
almost everything. This had been coming
on for nearly two years. She was losing
flesh, and her appetite was poor and irregu-
lar. Her sleep was by no means regular,
nor was it refreshing. She looked pale and
bloodless, and sometimes said that she
hardly cared whether she lived or died.
After she had several faintIng spells, and
found the doctor could do her very little good,
she was told by neighbor, who had been in
a similar weak state, that NoGna Cordial
was good thing She had tried SO many
remedies that she said at first there was no
use of trying any more. But she had SO
much confidence in Mrs. W, who had re-
covered by the use OF the medicine, that she
tried bottle. We were all surprised at the
effect of this one bottle 1t did wonders in
bringing Mrs Y. out of her low condition
She had not dared to hope for such relief
and strength as it gave her. This encour-
aged her to take more, and she has by this
time taken five or six bottles. She says that
there is no medicine like VOlina Cordial and
believe she is right"

COLONEL BELo AND THE PRESIDENT.
Eugene Field Describes an Interesting
Meeting Between Those Two


Eugene Field Describes an Interesting
Meeting Between Those Two
Great PersOnages.
Eugene Field, the well-knOwn Chicago
humOrist writes as follows in the New
Orleans Times Democrat:
Nv hen Colonel A. n. BelO, prOpT etOr
Of the Galveston News, called at The
White house day or two ago to ask
President Cleveland to appoint hiu. to
the Austrian mission, ne felt as II he
really had n pretty strong claim on the
administration. The president received
him cordially; this was quite natsral,
since the two had become pretty we'll
acquainted during their sOjOurn in the
AdirOndaCks. Having passed the com
pliments of the season and having in
Gulged in the conventional chestnut
about the presidents improved appear
Ance, Colonel BelO made bold to tell Mr..
cleveland that he had, deep down in his
bosom, strong hankeTing after the
Austrian mission. He said he had been
studying BOedeCkeT's Guide to Vienna
and felt that he was fully competent to
represent his native land at the court OF
Francis Joseph. Finally he remarked, in
an Outburst of confidence: Il would feel
greater hesitanCy in thus unbOsOming
my sweetest ambition to you, Mr.. Presi-
dent, did / not harbOr the gratifying
thought that my service in your personal
behalf has perhaps entitled me to some
what more than casual consideration
81 rejoice" answered Mr.. Cleveland,
that your candOr affords me an OppOr-
tunity to reveal in turn to you my secret
thoughts. | have pursued with growing
interest your reports of my exploits in
the mountains. You have assured the
public that with the rod | am a second
Walton. and that with the gun am an
other NimrOd. You have told my fell
lOw-countrymen that every time drew
bead on the velvet coated mOnarchs OF
the Adirondack Businesses fetched
down a monster buck, and that every
time cast fly upon the placid bosom OF
sylvan lake | brought ashore
speckled beauty weighing just seven
pounds. Now, it occurs to me my good
friend. that toward literature, and not
toward diplOmacy,is the direction which
your exuberant fancy should rove, and
therefore am going to confer on pos
terity the lnestimable boon of keeping
you at home to write fairy tales for the
Young"

day.
Some of the nominees appear cheer
full. but bleed inwardly all the same.
Reagan makes better chairman than

Freddy don't want anything just yet,
but how he longs to be mayor of San

The BARRIERS, they say, will oppose one
of the ring candidates. Home industry.
One OF the nominees, tits said, would
be a good hand in the legislative game.
The two RS, Russ and Robinson, are

The committee of one hundred has
scOoped the ring, and the latter has
ScOOped the Democratic Union club.
Joe forces on the world sardOnic
smile every time j. s. casts his huge
shadow athwart him.
The ticket is too tame. If Don &C.
rOnimO was nominated for collector and
Senior NatcheZ for sheriff, the people
would go wild over it.
SIX hundred miles is a long way to
come for nomination that will lead to
defeat.
Two young men went in for a nOmina-
tiOn; one on his brains and the other on
his shape. OF course, adipose got there;
generally does in ring convention.
Four of the nominees on the ring ticket
are MeXicans by affinity or COnsan-
guinity. Two of them are related to
Callaghan. No wonder he closed the
mayors office and "heeled for his
amigos. He is a hell of fellow any
how. SIIARPEYE.

The Doctors Lament.
70 the EUITOR:

70 the EUITOR:
Lines suggested upon doctor going into n
hOurding house to collect II bill, and luding
the MOTTO "In God We only Trust.
The doctor added that in men we poor
doctors must, though it is with nerv-
GUS dread. For such do not think we ILL
used creatures need our daily bread.
But we also in God put our daily
trust, and thank him for his merciful
gifts. Should we too have this motto?
Well, | often think we ought to. We
would have more lifts over the shoals of
dread, and could more safely rely upon
getting our daily bread. How pleasant
it is when we are sick to see the doctor,
and see him quick. But fOrsOOth, ah!
me; from dire necessity the poor doctor
is forced to present his bills. Now how
with venom we fill the doctors cup. 1t
is true he has cured us of our ills, but
now | am up and on the gain, and for
his compensation | will give him a
name that will give him pain. | set him
going on the wane; so it is often for our
earnings, we get most ungrateful re-
turnings. w.

The Galveston News and the Houston
Post seem terribly disgruntled because
some one will not wave a bloody shirt
so that the editorials they have in soak
on this ever popular incardination may
come into play. These gentlemen can
not be accommodated. The republican
party is too everlastingly busy prepar-
ing to give the democracy whalloping
at the polls next presidential election to
pay any attention to the old thrashing
they gave them in 1865, or thereabouts.

PoLITICs makes strange companions In
the midnight hours, There is something
politically peculiar about the man who
is opeh-mouthed in condemning a
political ring yet chooses the leaders of
that ring for his confidential associates
in those COnviyial hours when the secret
things OF mans nature come to the
surface and his true inwardn ess is given
a more manifest openness. Men OF such
cosmopolitan politics should be given a
wide berth.
