When 12 months old . lump appeared on her heel, which slowly grew larger. The family physician thought 1t was caused by piece of broken glass or needle, but failed to bring anything to light. The child became feebler all the time, seeming to lose the use of her leg, and finally quit walk ing entirely. The middle finger and thumb Of either hand became enlarged, the flesh be- coming hard. The hip joints became involv- ed, 30 that when seventeen months old she could not stand, having lost the use of leg and arm Partial curvature of the spine also followed. The nervous system was wrecked, muscles contracted, and there was general wasting Of flesh and muscle. At eighteen months of age sine was placed under tho treatment of prominent physician Of Bos- ton, Mass, but at the end of ten months she had declined to such degree that she was in dying condition. This was in April, 1868. We took the child away not knowing what to do- In this dreadful dilemma we were over-persuaded by friends to try "onc bot tie I" of SwIFT's SPECIFIC, which we did, and before it had all been taken we saw a change for the better i'll her symptoms.

EASTER MONDAYS QUAINT SPORTS.

On Faster Monday, in ''ye olden time"
even tho clergy and women INDUCED in tho
delights of ball playing. In many instances
il formed part Of the church service, bish-
ops and deans taking ball to church and
ut the beginning Of the anthem, whilc dane
ing to the music, til. ew it to tho choristers,
who handed it back and forth to ono another
during tho singing. After this service they
all retired for refreshments, which usually
consisted in a dish Of bacon and tansy pud-
ding.
An old rhyme referring to these customs
reads somewhat ns follows:
At stool ball Lucia, let Us play,
For sugar, cakes or wine,
Or for O tausy let us pay,
The loss be thine or mine.
II thou, my doar, winner &c,
At twirlipS OF the ball,
The wager thou shalt have, and NO
And my misfortunes all.
Another Easter Monday game was running
O race for tansy cake. Just why these
singular sports should have been considered
appropriate to tho Easter festivities the wis.,
ones fail to tell U.s. Tho playing at bnl: or
running q race for a tansy cake Inight-very
likely did-have its foundation in desire to
keep nlive the memory Of the bitter herbs at
the paschsl feast, though some old writer's
ignore any spiritual meaning, and ono speaks
Of tansy cakes in this wise:
''In tho spring time they arc mado with tho
leaves hereof newly sprung up, and with
eggs, cakes, or tansies. which be pleasant In
taste and good for the stomacke; for if any
bad humors cleave thereunto, it doth per-
fectly concoct them, and scowre them down
wards."

the fact that Ex-Governor Wormoth has
accepted the Republican nomination for
Governor in Louisiana, and will make a
thorough canvass Of the State, says it "will
surprise good many people. OF course
the idea Is not to be entertained that the
Republicans are strong enough to carry

Among the so-called carpet baggers who
invaded the South after the war this man
Warmothwas entitled to stand at the head

scenes of reconstruction he displayed y
boldness, n hrilliancy. and a dash which
caused even his enemies to admire him.
In the Southwest a man must he dstin-

to make his way in public life. Warmoth
has this requisite. lie is As brave man
as ever stepped. In more than one en-
counter he has shown that he was afraid
If nothing, and that he was abundantly
able to take care of himself.
All this counts for something, and it
goes without saying that Warmoth's can

the Republican party respectable in Louis

to be regretted in this. If the revival of
the Republicanism in the South means

fair fight. and the people will be willing

WHY n OPPOSES CLEVELAND
The Leading Journal Of the southern
Iron Regions Makes an Explanation.
birmingham Age.l

Yes, the Age is trying to beat Cleveland.
Why: Because Cleveland will beat the Dem
ocratic party just as ceartain as he is nomi-
mated. He has deserted the platform upon
which he was nominated, and elected-by the
skin of his teeth. He has gone back upon
the speeches he made in New Jersey when he
foresaw that unless he stood squarely upon
THAT platform he would be defeated What
was that platform other than a protection
platform: What meant Mr.. CIeyeland's visit
to the protection State of New Jersey except
to proclaim to the people of that State that
he meant to stand or fall by that platform:
How does the matter stand now: He has
deserted that platform. He has utterly ig-
nored it. In what respect? That platform
says, "In making reduction in taxes it is
not proposed to injure any domestic indus
tries" VIII any sane man say that the put.
ting of raw materials on the free list. such al
| WOOL coal, iron ore, etc, will not injure
| these industries:
| Again, Mr.. Cleveland has put himself Oh
record in opposition to any repeal of any par
of the internal revenue system. which the
| platform expressly declares to he "a wal
tax" And he insists that in time of peace
when he knows the government has no earth
ly use for this tax, it shall be collected Just
as if the government Was engaged in war and
was compelled TO raise revenue by thi,
system If direct taxation

Opinions OF the Farmers on the Tariff

The Free Traders have long cherished
the delusion that the farmers of this coun-
try are strongly inclined to oppose Pro-
lection in the belief that it is antagonistic
to their interests. The New York Tribune
with the foresight and sagacity which
characterize its chief editor and managers
adopted Il bold and comprehensive course
to ascertain in a thoroughly reliable man
ner the views of the great body of Ameri-
can farmers, whom Lord Derby, twenty
five years since, pronounced the most in
telligent class of agricultural yeomanry
In the world. In obtaining expressions of
opinion of this class of men in different
States of the | Mon on the practical rela-
tons of the tariff to agriculture, and hay
ing their replies condensed and put in the
form of an authoritive statement by IA
committee of competent and candid men.
1t has done an important service to the
cause of tariff reform and to the Republi-
can party which is pledged to the reduc-
ton of the revenue, while it stands as an
iron wall in the defense of American in
dustries and Home markets. \ large ma
iority of the letters placed in the hands of
this committee express the earnest convic-
ton that the tariff has contributed largely
to the growth and value of agriculture by
Increasing the demand for agricultural
products at home, and at the same time
has lessened the number of those who. for
tI,.,x ~.
pioyment, would crowd the farming in
dustry and thus lessen the market value
Of agricultural products. The vast array
of impartial testimony gathered by the
Tribune goes to show conrusivelv that
diversified industry is more to the advan-
tage of the farmers aud laborng men than
to any others, and are of fundamental i'm
portancc to the general welfare of the
United States. The Tribune addressed
letters to representative farmers and agri-
cultural societies all over the country, and
not counting the individual letters re-
ceived, replies from $50 to 1000 organ
izations. These communications were
placed in the hands of II committee headed
by Hon. Warner Miller, who. as senator
from New York, was chairman of the
Committee on Agriculture aud Forestry.
and the address which they give to the
public should be read by every farmer in
the land. For the successful carrying out
Of this plan of popular enlightenment the
Tribune managers are deserving the thanks
OF fair-minded men throughout the coun-
try.
