From the Herald of Faith. S

From the Herald of Faith, st,
Louis, Missouri August 10, 1887.
Referring to Shallenberger's Ans
tldote for MalariB the business man.
ager Of the Herald of Faith would
say, that he gave this medicine q
personal trial, and was speedily cur
ed Of an unpleasant Intermittent
Fever He then recommended it to
f. j. Tlefen braun, 1915 Papin street,
and to police officer Meidenger, at
the Union Depot, both of whom were
cured by it of chills and fever of sew
eral years standing. Recently his
wife, alter-a fever of several DAYS
duration, took single dose and was
perfectly cured. La view Of these
remarkablea cures. and remembering
how much money is spent for quin~
inc, so little to be depended upon,
and often so injurious, We can only
wish that Shalleuberger's Antidote
would come into general use.

Give Us Men.

God give US men! A time like this de-
mands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith
and ready hands;
Men whom the lust Of office does nor
Kill;
Men whom the spoils of office can not
buy;
Men who possess opinions and will;
Men who have honor-men who will not
lie;
Men who can stand before denagogue,
And damn his treacherous batteries with
out winking.
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above
the fog
In public duty, and in private thinking;
For while the trrksters with their thumb
worn creeds,
Their large professions and their little
deeds,-
Mingle in selfish strife, lo freedom
weeps,
Wrong rules the land, and waiting Justice
sleeps?

A Discriminating Dog.
Savannah News.)

Savannah News.)
A red nosed man was making his
way up Alabama Street, Atlantis,
heading for bar>room, with a thin
yellow dog affectionatcly following
after him.
Look at that dog,' said Bailiff
Mig Simpson. That's smart dog"
"Why?' was the natural question,
there being nothing in the dogs ap>
pearance to Indicate as much.
"Jast watch, now. The dog fol-
lows that fellow into stores and
houses, upstairs and down, through
all sorts Of weather, just like he's
following him now. If that fellow
ever gets drunk and falls off the
bridge, the dog will fall off too. If
the fellow ever gets run over by a
train, the dog will too. But he won't
GO into that bar-room. He knows a
bar>room as well as do, and you
can't force him into one. He'll stay
outside and wait. and you can nearly
always locate that fellow by stand
ing at the corner of Alabama and
Prior and looking both ways till you
see that dog in front of a bar>room,
waiting. Now watch him.
The red-nosed man went on into
the bar-room. The dog looked up
sorrowfully at the windows, just as
if he were reading the sign, and then
settled himself disconsolately upon
his launches at the edge of the side
walk He gazed at the door IN gloomy,
mournful expectancy never once
taking his eyes away. He waited
for fully ten minutes, and then when
the man came out the dog resumed
his place following at his heels.

: TIRED OF THE
NEGRO,
THE NORTH SEES HOW TITS.
(New York Herald.)

(New York Herald.)
1t is extremely inexpedient fol
the republicans to pass federal
election law for several reasons -
1, Such law would certainly
require federal troops to enforce il.
and this would be undoubtedly very
unpopular in the North. Nobody
wants to return to the old recon
struction days and evils.
2. 1t would fling the whole South
into turmoil and derange and pros
trate industry in that part of the
Union. That would inhict great and
ruinous losses upon Northern capital
invested in Southern industries
mines and manufactures, and upon
thousand of Northern men now EN-.
ployed in the South and doing well.
Such losses would not be patiently
borne in the North. but would un-
doubtedly create strong revulsion
egainst the party.
8. This country likes peace. Ihe
American people don't want to have
their business disturbed by needless.
ly revolutionary politics. They
resent disorder. Under Arthur and
Cleveland all went we'll and peace
ably; an era of good feeling between
the sections continued for eight
years, and in that time came that
development Of the South which has
so profitably engaged Northern
capital and enterprise.
1t is not expedient for the republi-
cans to disturb and destroy all this.
They may clamor about the negro.
but the plain truth is the North has
got tired Of the negro. It has abun-
dant evidence thst he IS we'll en-.
ployed, well treated. is getting edu-
Gated and acquiring property all
over the South, and we are beginning
to understand up here that he clam
ors only because he don't get offices,
and his republican friends who clam
or for him do not give him Office
when tleY have the power. 1t is
not expedie1t for the party 20 de>
range sll the material growth of the
South with a federal election law on
that basis.
We Say nothing here about right
or constitutional;ty-these questions
will come up IN debate. The gentle
men who are pushing a federal elec.
ton law are dong it because they
believe it may help their party. We
believe it would only help to ruin it..
We should not care much about that,
but We do not like the thought of 8
measure which will, first of all, de-
range and Illustrate industry in the
South and bring great and needless
losses in the North.
We prefer peace and patience.
The negro is doing well--only he is
getting no offices.

Cures Diseases of the Liver.

| have used your vegetable preparation,
Nolandine, aud find it valuable agent in
the treatment of functional diseases Of the
liver.-Its action on that organ and Sc
crcting glands is equal to that OF Galomel
and, TO my mind. the only vet discovered
substitute for this time-honored remedy.
1t is. furthermore, entirely free from con-
stitutional effects too often observed from
the use of fmercurials; and in many cases
where mercurials have been incautiously
administered, have witnessed the bene-
ticial results of Nolandine in eliminating
and modifying the most distressing after
symptoms.
l cheerfully recommend trial of No
landine to the profession, believing that
it will stand their test. Very truly

Cures Drcpsy of the Chest andAbdomen.

The very high character of the testl-
monlals attesting the merits of your veg>

per in a very desperate case Of Hydroth-
rax [dropsy of the chest, combined with
Ascities [dropsy of abdomen, The usual
remedies known TO our profession had
been most skillfully administered without
producing anticipated effects The dis
eases yielded to the action of your No

of the profession by departing from its
usages, but caDdor and facts compel me
to call the attention of my professional
brethren to the valuable properties of
your preparation and trust that
prejudice will not deter them from its use,

on the liver and secI etloRs more than
equal to calomel. which is an additional

A Good Plan.
(Harnett Courier.l

( (Harnett Courier.)
We are often told, and we admit
the truth of it, that we make a great
mistake in changing our members in
Congress so often, that about the
time member learns how to be a
member, we stand him aside, and
put in a new man. Now then if we
have to learn a man how to be a
member of Congress after electing
him, suppose that we take a young
man this time, and learn him and
then let him stay, and thereby re-
ceive some of the benefits of Con-
gress. Harnett has young man

well and remember it after learning,
