Rough on the Counsel.

The following experience of a Missis-
sippi lawyer was related by himself to
the writer many years ago. He said ::
81 was defending a prisoner for
horse-stealing, and seeing no other
means of defending him, under the cir
cumstances, 1 set up the plea of insan-
ity. I argued it at length, read my ex-
tracts from works on medical iurispru-
dence, and had the patient attention of
the Court. The prosecuting attorney
did not attempt to reply to my argu-
ment or cOntrOvert my authorities l
seemed to have things my own way,
and whispered to the prisoner that he
needn't be uneasy. Then came the
Judges charge, in which he reminded
the jury that there was no dispute be-
tween counsel as to the real
facts of the case. Indeed, there could
not have been, for several witnesses
had sworn positively that they saw the
prisoner steal the horse. But con-
cluded the Court, the plea of insanity
has been set up, and I charge you gen
tlemen of the jury, that it should re-
ceive your very grave and serious de-
liberation but 1 must be allowed to
say, gentlemen, that for myself, upon a
review of the whole case, can discov-
er no evidence of insanity on the part
of the prisoner, except, perhaps, in the
selection of his counsel. "

1T is of no use to argue the question,

Look here, Jack! you are like some
old bachelor who has been Tilted by one

" Not at ALL my brother Charlie died of
Bright disease, brought on by using one
of these so-called blood purifiers the
kind you see attractively advertised in

of potassium, a drug used in extreme cases
when cautiously given under a doctors SUI
pervision, but death-deaiing to all who take
it in quantity. If y0ur brother had died
under such circumstances, you would hate

Z" do dislike the name of that mis-called

the cases of Bright's disease in the country,
and it is strange the proprietors have not
been prosecuted for selling it. But / was

You would be better off Jack if you

Saulsburys Insist on Being

In an interview with a representative
of Eli Salisbury and printed in the
New York Sun as a dispatch
from Dover, the following paragraph
appears: " They talk now of relega-
ting US to the rear in the future. 1t
can't be done. We have 1900 adher-
ents in this county and they all are
good Democrats who will stick to us
through thick and thin. We have
made up our minds that in any reor-
ganizatiOn of the party which takes
place in this State we are to be counted
in or else we will be against it. We
propose to have our say in the counsels
of the party and l think that wise
Democrats in Kent and Sussex counties
will recognize that we are entitled to
it." The article is signed Blakeley
Hail." but gives evidence of being
written by proxy. The same writer
still insists that Anthony Higgins, Esq

In the two Northern States which
the Republican party failed to carry,
the liquor question gave the Demo
Gratis the victory. In New Jersey,
while thousands of votes were pur-
chased outright and many more infiu-
enced by the liquor-dealers, enough
prOfessed Prohibitionists to turn the
scale continued their voting in the
air. In Connecticut, while the meth
DDS best understood by Senator Cor
man were employed by Democrats to
the utmost, the political Prohibition
lists drew off 800 more votes than
were cast for st. John in 1884, leaving
the Republicans 334 votes behind. So
the saloons gave Mr.. Cleveland nine
electoral votes, and the Prohibitionists
six electoral votes from the North and
he got no Others In New York, how
ever, the soloons and the Prohibition
lists together defeated Mr.. Miller fol-
Governor, and elected a Governor to
suit the liquor interest.

The reports presented to the Gener-
al Assembly of the Knights of Labor,
while in session at Indianapolis, showed
that there was a steady decrease in the
membership, and that the order is prac-
tically bankrupt. 1t is also apparent
that what is left of the order will prob
ably split into two factions, one of
which will still be known as the
Knights of Labor, with Mr.. Powderly
at the head, while the other will be
called the United Labor Order, under
the leadership of T. B. Barry. This
means the early dissolution of the ems
tire order, and it is probable that the
day is not far distant when it will be a
thing of the past.

The Reason Why

Ayers Pills are so popular is, that
while always reliable as a cathartic
medicine, they never leave any i'll
effects. This is because they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from calo-
mel or any other dangerous drug. In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
be old or young, they may be conf
IDENTIFY administered.
In the Southern and Western States,
where arrangements of the liver are so
general, Ayers Pills have proved an in
estimable blessing. D. W. Baine, New
Berne, n. c., writes:
"I suffered a long time with stomach
and liver troubles. l tried various rem
edies, but received no benefit until ]
commenced taking Ayers Pills. These
pills benefited me at once. / took them
regularly for a few months, and my
health was completely restored"
Throughout New England, next to
lung diseases, Stomach and Bowel
Complaints are the most prevalent.

Dyspepsia

and Constipation are almost universal.
Mr.. GALLAGHER, a practical chemist, of
Roxbury, Mass, who was long troubled
with Dyspepsia, writes:
"a friend induced me to try Ayers
Pills, and, after taking one box without
much benefit, / was disposed to quit
them; but lie urged perseverance, and,
before l had finished the second box, 1
began to experience relief. / continued
taking them, at intervals, until L had
used eleven boxes. Suffice it to say,
that I am now a well man, and grateful
to your chemistry, which Outstrips

only been a slight. but gradually increasing
cramping. What is surely coming Sur,
veyor Tobin has the foresight to discern.
and he is studiously laboring to accom-.
plish relief.
South OF the customhouse lies A large
but vacant bluff, part of that on which
stands the building. At present il is an
unsightly locality, on which is stored any
and everything that people see az TO leave
out in the weather. Brought into compar-
ison with the improved customhouse lot
winch 1t cannot escape--it is an eye-sore.
The ground belongs to the city. but there
appears to be no use for or disposition to
maintain it. Surveyor Tobin suggests that
it be donated TO the government, with a
proviso that it be put in proper shape, be-
come part OF the customhouse lot, and q
retaining wall be built on the Monroe
street side. To make all the necessary i'm
provcments will entail an outlay of about
800 900. This sum the captain feels Ger
tain he can secure from the government,
with aiding influence on the part OF the
press and public. In addition to this he
has little doubt that the congressman from
this district can and will induce an appro-
priation TO make an addition TO the present
customhouse, covering the newly acquired
property. II is only question of a very
short time when this cannot be avoided,
and realizing the fact, the government will
not refuse 10 act at once. In the addition
i is proposed TO put the postoflice and
federal courts, with all.their paraphernalia,
and this will afford all the relief desired.
Even were the improvements suggested TO
begin at once, the work would not be CON-
ploted any too soon, as the government is
rather slow coach in such matters.
But TO complete the identifying in front
of the city, Capt Tobin suggests little
public spirit and liberality on the part of
newspapers II is not sufficient that the
custom-house bluff be mite q gem Of a
spot, and its neighbor TO the south allowed
to remain as at present Both should be
brought up 10 high degree OF attractive.
ness. Without this the improved ono
would be seriously handicapped by con-
trast with the other. The captain 8 idcd
is for the south bluff TO he taken in charge
by the public, through committee, and
made n lovely park by subscriptions For
such cause IL should not be difficult to
raise at least 100000. There il hardly a
man in the city who would not aid in the
undertaking. Then, as climax to the
whole, he advocates a connecting bridge
for the two over Monroe street. These
are my ideas, formed after long and seri-
Gus deliberation," said he, after detailing
them toan APPEAL reporter. iii l am criti-
cised for advancing them, the consolation
remains that NJ great work has ever been
accomplished without beginning and ami.
