Your stomach of course. Why? Because
if it is out of order you are one of the most
miserable creatures living. Give it a fair,
honorable chance and see if it is not the
best friend you have in the end. Don't
smoke in the morning. Font drink in the
morning If you must smoke and drink
wait until your stomach is through with
breakfast. You can drink more and smoke
more in the evening and it will tell on you
less. If your food ferments and does not

Heartburn, Dizziness of the head, coming

Saturday last the custom-house yard at
Nashville, Tenn, was quite filled with some
seventy-two barrels of mountain apples,
each barrel containing a fve-gallon keg of
moonshiue brandy snugly hidden therein.
This is lot of Illicit goods seized at Nc
Miuuyille a few days ago, having been Of
fered for shipment at that place by one J.
c. Clarke, and consigned to himself at Bir-
mingham, Ala. 1t was 4 very slick trick,
but it failed to work The Illicit dealer had
first placed in each barrel about half a
bushel of tough mountain apples, timber
twigs and other varieties Of apples were
placed around the kegs, and then another
half bushel poured in on top. The unusu-
al heayiness of the barrels first attracted at
tentiou, and in rolling the lot into the de-
pot one of the barrel heads burst, and 10
and behold there was the tell-tale brandy.
The whole lot contained about 300 gallons
of mountain dew" alias "apple jack, and
with the tax of ninety cents gallon is
worth about Sl4O per gallon, aggregating,
say, about $500. The contraband goods
have been confscated aud Clarke will be

Senator Camden, Judge John J. Jackson

Monday up near the Henderson farm, but
the distinguished trio did not have as good
luck as they might have had. The Senator,
it is reported, lost his 5000 gold watch, the
Lieutenant bagged more Spanish needles
than game, and the Judge came near losing
a valuable dog The dog got on the rail
road just as an engine came along and
didn't get Off until one of his hind legs was
cut off, The dog still lives, but his useful

Holc Nelc York lCas Won for HARRISON

In the roar of triumph which goes up
from the victorious party it will be best Tor
them not to mistake the meaning of the re-
suit in New York. The out-and-out use OF
money added to the influence OF local
causes has made up the Harrison plurality
in this State. To credit it to opposition to
tariff reform among the people; to tritie
with the truth, when Connecticut and New
jersey 60 for Cleveland, it is folly to say
he lost New York on account of the tariff.
The money of Pennsylvania monopolists
and the treachery of local factions has lost
New York. Cleveland is the victim, JUS
as Hancock was in 1880. But the popular
vote of the country will demonstrate that
tariff reform is on the path to victory, and
the day is correspondingly not far distant
when the control of the destinies of the ma
ton will not depend upon the corrupt bar
gains or the resentments of local politi-
clans. In New York, it is said, whether
truly or not, that SO, 900 was the price paid
for the alleged doctored returns in Brook

Hon. Wm L. wilson Reelected,
Duckwall's maj. about 700.
Knots maj. about $50.

From the Vest Virginia Democrat of Au-
gust 2Sth we take the following. 1t APP
peared in that paper for a number Of weeks
and until within few days of the election :;
"To Mr.. Charles II. Knott: 1t will give
us the greatest pleasure to be able to advise
the people to support you for the State Sem
ate, but we cannot do so # you intend 10
vote against laws which are vital to the well
fare of this State. We therefore ask you the
following questions: If answered afiirma-
lively we will do all we can to aid your E.
lection; if answered negatively we cannot
support you've cannot support a candi-
date who will vote contrary to the interests
of the people" Then follow the ques-
tons concerning free pass bribery, railroad
legislation, tax legislation, etc, but moth
ing about treachery to party.
Now, from the same paper Of November .
we take the following:
" The Democrat desires its patrons to see
that its course is not factiOus, but conscien-
tious and upright, and that its opposition
to Mr.. Knott is based upon full knowledge
of his treachery to the party. Although re-
luctant to expose him, his treachery to the
party has compelled this course
1t will be seen that the Democrat was will
ing to support Mr.. Knott in spite of the al
legged treachery upon condition Of an afiir-
native response to impertinent questions
it would give us the greatest pleasure"
notwithstanding it long knew certain facts
to exist, Treachery to party wasn't con-
sideration then Treachery to party never
has been troublesome to the conscience Of
j. VI. Mason, and for the reason that he has
an easy conscience" The truth is: Ma
son has only been doing what he was paid
