How !. &C. Ga" CURED

By taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be q potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some of these
cures are really wonderful. nyou suffer from
sCrofula, be sure to try Hoods Sarsaparilla.
"Every spring my wife and children have
been troubled with scrofula, sores breaking
out on them in various places. My little boy,
three years old, has been q terrible sufferer.
Lastspring he was one mass ofsores fromhead
to feet. Twas advised to use Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, and we have all taken it. The result
is that all have been cured Of the scrofula,
my little boy being entirely free from sores,
and all four Of my children look bright and
healthy" W. B. ATHERToN, Passaic City, NJ.

Probably no one thing has caused
such general revival of trade at

their giving away to their customers
of so many free bottles of DIR Kings

Their trade is simply enormous in
this very valuable article from the

FRIDAY MORNING. MAR. IS. 1888.

The little snow and rain that fell in
Staunton, Sunday, did not give US even
an idea of what occurred along the Eas-
tern seaboard of the United States. From
Baltimore to Boston the snow fell to a
great depth and froZe as hard as the EARTH
In the streets of New York in open day
on Monday, a wholesale merchant fell
from cold and frczs to death on the side
walk. At one of the most frequented cor.
ners in the city woman fell and frozs to
death. Fifty-eight people are missing in
Brooklyn and New York. Business was
stopped and the streets deserted. Teams
were unhitched and the wagons left in the
streets. The public schools closed, the
milkmen, butchers and bakeries stop
ped their deliveries, and people who
went down town to business Monday
morning didn't get back to their homes
till Wednesday, either staying at hotels or
their stores. AL! this time the wind was
blowing so miles an hour with thermom-
eter 40 below zero. The quarter of a mil
lion dollar hotel at Brighton Beach was
washed off into the sea. In Philadel-
phia it was little better, and in Balti-
more business was paralysed. Telegraph
lines were down between all the cities on
the line for three days. 1t was a worse
and longer blizzard than even Dacota
furnishes.

nounced him better and Mr.. Campbell asked

Mr.. VIM. Stephenson of Staunton.
A fire in Culpeper, last week, destroyed the
most of the row of large buildings in rear of

The failure of John L. Sullivan to whip
Charlie Mitchell in prize fight near the
little village of Chantilly in France, on
Thursday last, has cast considerable
damper over the spirits of Boston, Mass.
where John L. grew up to fame.
The story of the fight is short,
though there were thirty nine rounds
fought lasting four hours. Sulli-
van opened with his famous "rushes'' to
"knock out' his opponent. But Mitchell
was too scientific and game, for though
knocked down four times he came up SO
lively to the next round as to show that
though knocked down he couldn't be
"knocked out'-at least by Sullivan.
Mitchell is the boxer who in a
glove exhibition at Madison Square Gar
den, New York, five years ago knocked
Sullivan off his feet-the only living man
that ever accomplished that feat. A re-
cord of Sullivan's fights shows that he
never before fought over twenty minutes
or more than ten rounds, always manag-
ing to knock his opponent out In from one
to four rounds and generally in about eight
minutes. In the Chantilly eight Sullivan
weighed 200 pounds and Mitchell 17s, Sui
Ivan is much the ta]lest of the two.

ssSpeak It Trippingly on the Tongue"
Editor Tindtcat0r:


The pronouncing matches have been sue
cess-entertaining and instructive. But it
may be we'll to call attention to the ultimate
principles of gtnteel pronunciation as laid
down by Worcester himself, aud which de-
| mand departure in Virginia fiom the
Webster and Worcester standards as to many
words in common use. In ordinary or in cor
| rect conversation we do not pronounce words
sylla5icalky and with clean-cut precision; and
the dictionary marks wholly fail to express the
exact sounds in many instances. DR.. WOrces
ter, in his preface to his Dictionary, says upon
| Orthoepy:
The pronunciation of the English Ian
guage, like that of all living languages, is in
great measure arbitrary. 1t is exposed to the
| caprices of fashion and taste. 1t is liable to
! change from one age to another and it varies,
more OF less, not only III the different and dis
family separated countries in which it is
spoken, but also in the different divisions and
| districts of the same country. No two speakers,
or orthoepiSts, though inhabitants of the same
! place, would be likely to agree in the pro-
nunciation of all its words. The standard of
pronunciation is not the authority Of any die
| uionary or of any orthoepist; but it is the
present usage Of literary and aoel1-bred society.
| r With respect to the many millions who
i speak the English language, the usage of Lon
don is entitled to far more weight than
that of any other city, yet this is not the
| only thing to be observed. The usage of the
best socie.y in the place or district in
which one resides is not to be disregarded.
! If our pronunciation is agreeable to the
analogy of the language and conformed to the
| practice of the best society with which we
have intercourse, we may have no sufficient
reason to change it, though it should deviate,
more or less, from the existing usage of Lon
| don. proper pronunciation is, indeed, a
desirable accomplishment. and is indicative of
a correct taste and good education; still, it
ought to be remembered, that, IN speech as in
manners, he who is the most precise is often
the least pleasing, and that rusticity is more
| excusable than Gtectation -
Moral. We. in Virginia, must ntinue to
pronounce granary, grdind'y, as Dr.. Sam.
johnson did one hundred years ago; and as
every one now pronounces grange grange, and
granger, granger, and nice young lady an
| angel And so too we must bow to the author
ity of the learned medical faculty il. regard
to their own Greek word and pronounce

POLITICAL NOTES,

The Democratic State Convention for
the appointment of delegates to the Ma
tional Convention at st. Louis, will meet
in Norfolk May l6.h. The basis of repre-
sentatiOn is one delegate to every 200 votes
for Lee for Governor, and one for every
fraction equal to 100. Augusta will have 16
delegates and Staunton 4. An interview
of Hon. John s. Barbour with the Wash
ington correspondent of the Alexandria
"Gazette" throws doubt on whether he
will consent to retain his place of Chair.
man'of the Democratic State Central and
Executive Committees during the Presi-
dental campaign.
1t is being arranged BY the Tammany
and County Democracy of New York to
send a delegation of from three to four
thousand to st. Louis. They go 10 separ-
ate trains from the regular New Y ork dele
gates and will wear the inevitable ''white
hat.''
The young Democratic ladies Of Green's
burg. Pa. have organized "F'rances
Cleveland Club" to take an active part in
the coming campaign. The club badge is
of white silk bearing Mrs. Cleveland Is
portrait, The club is drilling and will
turn out at every political procession with
torches.
Several correspondents in the Lewisburg
independent" nominate Maj. B. F.
Eakle of White Sulphur Springs, for cleo
tion to the West Virginia House of Dele
gates.
President Cleve land has sent to the SEE.
ate for Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the territory of Idaho, the name
of John l.. Logan of N. Y, son-in-laW
of Hon. John Randolph Tucker and son
of Mr.. James W. Logan of salem, Va
The salary of the position is 81 500.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Alexandria "Gazette" says: THAT so far
this session, three of the Virginia mem
bers of the House have done credit TO
their State. Mr.. Yost, in his fight for a
pension to the widow of Maj. R. M Kirby;
Mr.. Lee, in his for the Theological Semi
nary. and Mr.. O'Ferrall, in his debate
with Mr.. Boutelle."
The Richmond correspondent of the
Alexandria 'GaZstte," before the leglsla-
ture adjourned polled its members for their
choice for next Presidential nominee. The
Democrats with two or three exceptions
were for Cleveland and the Republicans
with as few exceptions were for Sherman.
The Augusta representation was solid for
Cleveland.
The New York Tribune" Blaine or
gan, characterizes Gen. Mahone's recent
secret circular in opposition to him as ian
utterly mendacious productioa.' 1t adds
that Mr.. Sherman has ''need to pray to be
delivered from at least one OF his friends. +"
In replying TO letter informing him of
the forming of club at. Pittsburg, Pa,
bearing his name, and intended to bring
out his name for the Presidential nomina-
ton, Hon. Roscoe Conkling, of New Y rk,
replies, rather vaguely it must be admit
ted, that he has no aspirations that way.
