NO POLITICS IN IT.

Silver has gone up a Few cents an
ounce during the last few months,
bit the advance IS oEing 70 70 pOliti-

idiocy 10 ciRiIa credit for it for any
political party. The slight advance
il on account OF Increased demand
for the natal, FOR other purposes than
coinage, at home aai abroad, and
politics have no more to do with il
than witii the price Of sagebTuza IL
Tuacarora- Every Administration
since the passage Of the Bland bill
has done ali IN its power TO keep the
white metal down, by coming only
the minimum amount, and the exist.
ing one is no exception TO the rule.
The claim Of Democrats that silver
s higher at one time during Ceve.
lands term than it il at present, is
only elualei in Stiffness by the Re
publican intimatiOn that the recent
advance was owing to friendliness
upon the part Of Secretary Windows
financial policy. There is no capital
u he gained for either party by such
n Insengical assertions, and the sooner

among the real friends Of silver il

the place where IL properly belongs

The honest aud intelligent silver
producer wants free coinage fer the

That South Carolina girl who

We find sketches of Hall and Hayes the Arctic explorers; John Hall and Robert Hall celebrated clergymen; Hallam and He- rodotuS, great historians: Haller, the philologiSt; Alexander Hamilton, the statesman, and Sir William Hamilton the scientist: Handel and Hadyn, the musical composers; Hannibal, the foe of Rome: hegel the philosopher; Heine, the poet, and Hengstenberg, the theO- logian; Herschel, tine astronomer, and many other men of renOWn Among important articles Ill other lines are Authorization; Hand; Hanseatic League, the famous trade union of the Middle Ages; Harbor: Hartford Con- vention, unique and famous in our po- litical history; Harvard University; Hay: Hayti; Heat; Heart; Heaven; Hell; Heredity; HeresY; and HerOglyph- ics.

 5"In May last, my youngest child. fourteen months old began 10 have sores gather on it's head and body. We ap- piled various simple remedies without avail. The sores increased in number and discharged copiously. A physician was called, but the sores continued to multiply until in few months they nearly covered the child's head and body. At last we began the use of Ayers Sar- saparilla. In few days a marked change for the better was manifest. The sores assumed more healthy condition, the discharges were gradually dimin- ished, and finally ceased altogether. The child is livelier, it's skin is fresher, and it's appetite better than we have ob- served for months. Frank NJ. Griffin, Long Point, Texas.
