the articles which they uave for sale

hour to hour every popular whim. For
two weeks before the last presidential
election they had buttons and badges
for sale, showing the two chief pres

the day after the election they did not

Nobody knows or cares where they

yet they seem to have the same marvel

they said nothing which ladies might
not properly hear. Sometimes they

they all had good voices, some
of them cultivated voices. The
woods rang with their songs as
the stage dashed along. Finally,
they burst into the ''Tally-ho'' chorus,
from the Princess of Trebizorde," and
as the stage flew through the aisIes of
the forest the other passengers felt that

to hear that chorus. under such circum-

seemed a life in death. The ''fakir''
himself never appears TO be particularly
unhappy. Neither does the shlyerlng

In October, 1857, an article was pub

Erwin asserted that it was published

prevent preiudgment by the people
during the pendency of the Villas -Weich
proceedings. MIR. Erwin also claims
that the subject matter of the article
complained of was contained in letter
to him from John III. Knight, mayor of
Ash and, Wis. and that he is not to
blame for the Misrepresentation. The
libel proceedings OF Villas against Welch
were dismissed and this suit was begun

Rheumatism is most prevalent because ex-
posure to the cold and wet drives the blood
from the surface of the body, and causes con-
gestion of the liver and kidneys. These or
gans are thus unable to perform their func.
tions of eliminating the impurities and Tactic
acid, which are taken up by the blood and
deposited in the joints and tissues, resulting
i'll the pains aud aches we call rheumatism.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has had great success in
curing this disease, both chronic and inflam-
matory. Acting promptly on the blood. it
neutralizes the Tactic acid, eXpels all i'm
purities, and restores the liver and kidneys
to natural action.

tsm two years and Hoods Sarsaparilla
