Gullibility.

The wild phanfoms and shI licking cries Of
worthless humbug can make money by Impos-
ing upon the credulity ard ignorance Of On
honest public. and the supply Of this species
of work seems more than an ads quate demand.
The enunciation of iacts-facts that ha, stood
crucial tests-fac.s proven by brain force and
tangible evidence, should satisfy all laudable
enterprises but the execrable practice OF
teaching false ideas and doctrines for self
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is truly reprehensible and
should be scorned by all classes.
When one house tells you that Iodlde Of Pot

New Stories About the Storms Ravages

the first advices from the Hughes river, a
small stream flowing through Dodd-
ridge and Ritchie counties. On its banks
the destruction is complete. Hundreds of
farmers in these two counties, as well as
Calhoun, Gilmer and Lewis, are absolutely
ruined. Near Berea, at z o'clock Monday
evening, there was cloud burst that in
few minutes brought the waters higher
than ever known. j. R. Bakers store, ten
feet above ordinary high water, was car
ried away from it's foundation and every
thing below was swept clean. Every
bridge on the stream is gone. Houses,
barns, granaries, hay-stacks and grow
ing crops disappeared entirely, and
piles of drift and debris were left ten or
twelve feet deep in the valley. For miles
the soil was washed off as clean as floor,
leaving hard, smooth clay surface. The
loss on Hughes river is placed at 100000

County, was visited by cyclone, of which

TO BE NCN-PARTlSAN.

The G. A. II. Not to Take Any Integral
Part Whatever in Poli.ics-Stringent and
Non-COmprehensive Orders Looking to
PaTtisanship Issued by Commander Rea.
MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, July 16-General
order No. has been issued from the Grand
Army headquarters, reading in substance
as follows:
Gin view of the period of great political
excitement upon which the country is
now entering, the Communicating Chief deems
it his duty to call the attention of all
comrades to the following extract from
the rules and regulations: No officer
or comrade of the Grand Army of the Republic
shall, N any manner, use this organiZat.o on for
partisan purposes, and no discussion Of par
tisan questions shall be permitted at any of its
meetings, nor shall any nomination for political
office be made. '-Art. Gi.. chap. 5.
1.-The continued prosperity and usefulness
of our fraternity depends upon the avoidance
of even a suspicion that it can be
used by any person or in any locality
tor any partisan purpose whatever The men,
bers of the organization, as citizens of their
country, have all the rights and are sub
ject to all the duties of citizenship. They have,
and should have, their political convictions and
party affiliations, and their right to advocate
and proclaim them and the right to differ in re-
gard to them as they do is in no wise questioned;
but fidelity to the principles of the org anization,
and due regard for its efficiency and welfare,
urgently demand that any and every violation
OF the letter or spirit of the above-cited rule
should be stud!ously avoided and promptly
condemned. Comrades are reminded that the
uniform of the order should not be worn
at any political gathering, and they are
~admonished to discountenance the use OF all
political badges or devices in any way calcu-
lated to associate the Grand Army of the Re-
public with any political party or candidate.
ITO the end that the fraternal ties which
now unite us may not be impaired by partisan
contentious this warning is promulgated, and
commanders of departments and posts are
directed to supplement the same by all proper
methods.

II. Douglass, Sir-Inas musA as you desire
reply to you letter of the 18th inst, beg leave
to state that when / was asked whether j
would accept the nomination of the
American party for President 1 an.
swered that / would rot, and the reason
was obvious. The Amer. can party is not so
organized as to have any prospect of electing
its candidate at the coming election. What it
may do four years hence depends very much
upon the organization and work done in the
meantirse. The only possible effect of running
a candidate now would be to throw the cleo
ton ef the President into tie House
of Representatives. which, practically, would
elect the Republican ticket am q Demo-
crat and not in favor of turning this Govern
ment over to the Republ can tarty. There
fore, would decline to be a party to any
movement which would be Likely to have this
result Yours truly, ADRIAN S. HEWITT
