A friend of mine has two little sons.
aged respectively 3 and 5 years. They
have been most carefully trained, and
especially warned and guarded against
profanity. But one day the little fellows
arose feeling 1rresistibly impelled to do
something naughty, and, the nursery
door being open, we overheard the fol-
lowing:
'.Let's swear" proposed John, the
elder. Ri

prayers the little sinners penitently
confessed that they. "has sweared' in

A NEW DISCOVERY.
Great SOuthern Remedy.

Having been a great sufferer, from child
hood, the result of prOtracted chills and indi-
gestion, terminating in diseases OF LIVER,
KIDNEY and URINARY ORGANS, and having
tried many remedies known to the profession
with only temporary relief. After much ex-
perimenting, 1 succeeded in discovering q
combination Of vegetable remedies, which
combination has proven a J emedy for diseases
of all the internal organs superior to any
known in q life of suffering and practice OF
fifty years. As by it l have BE- Ell restored
from what seemed to be inevitable death to
perfect heR tn, without any other medicine
for those diseases over three years past. l.
also GRABBED me to travel all the winter OF
1888 and 1889, in the mountains, in all kinds
of weather, and eating any and everything set
before me with impunity. It has since cured
me of chills and prevented my taking ella
grippe" and relieved those of the late cpl
demic who tried it. It is also proving valua-
BILE in many female diseases.

cry of an attempt to use the order
for political purposes. 1t is claimed
that same of the executive officers dur
ing the last campaign caused circulars to
be issued and scattered over the state or
Pennsylvania requesting knights to vote
for Pattisou for governor, and that in
other states the same means were used.
Those delegates opposed to the organl-
zation taking any part in politics As
body demanded satisfactory explana-
ton of the matter.
Those favoring the cause alleged to
have been pursued came to its support.
The debate has been very heated, but
tonight il IS stated that satisfactory e4-
plantations have been made aud the
matter settled.
The assembly have had under consider
alton the report of the finance commit
tee nearly all day. The clause referring to
the salary or officers is receiving no little
attention. Mr.. Powderly : enemies hold
that $4,000 p year is entirely too
much. His friends, however, claim
Mr.. PowderlY has successfully managed
the affairs of the order, that the receipts
last year were $50 900 more than the
year previous, aud on this can well
afford to pay this amount.
