In other words, disease mani
tests itself ONLY when there
is a degeneration, a breaking

or cell structure of the human
organism. The Histogenetic
System of Medicine is based
upon the principle of supplying
the material which became de-
ficient through ANY cause and
restoring to normal health. 1t
is not an experiment; it has
been tried nine years in your
midst by the intelligent portion
of this community. In fact
this is the medicine of the in.

laration to the electors of the State, tell
ing them the proposition you have made
to me and the reason why l am not able to

This is the latest version of Mr.. Cleveland's
reply to the demand for promises of patron
age as the condition of active support by
the Democratic organization Of the State of
New York. Of course the demand was hur-
riedy Withdrawn and the nominee for the
presidency was assured of the loyal support
of the machine-mOre necessary to Its con-
tinued existence than to his success
Whatever may have actually transPired at

believe that the next President will take

stands it-aud thoroughly capable of un-

The FdlIoic Field.

Poem by Julia G. R. Dorr. illustrated
with Reproductions of charcoal sketches by
Zulma DeLscy Steel, containing 20 draw
ings, printed on fine cut paper. Size Skill
inches. Oblong quarto. Full gilt, gilt
edges. Published by Lee & Shepard, Bos-
ton.
This poem, by Mrs. Dorr, will have a
new significance to those who possess the
Interpretation by the artist, her daughter.
The poem is purely ideal, aud suggests
what words cannot adequately express
The reader who is born with the power of
poetic perception feels what the lines con-
vey, and yet might find it difficult TO frame
for it what poets in former times called an
argument" The thought and the scene
are in the spiritual world. The illustra-
tons are helps, because they show anala-
gous phases in the world of nature, cores
ponding to the subtitle ideas of the poem
"a Fallow Field" will not be merely a
useless tract of land to those who have con-
sidered the subject; it will be fixed in the
mind as study of the interior life.
The sketches were made in charcoal, and
reproduced in half-tones, special care hav-
ing been taken to preserve the character of
the work. The volume contains about thir-
ty full pages and vignettes. The stanzas
are separately engraved in tasteful style.
The volume is commended to those who en-
joy the attempt to unite the beauty of art
to the beauty of thought.

The Martinsburg Herald finds consolation
in this day of its disaster and disappoint-
ment, that Berkeley county gave Repub-
lican majority-that Senator Faulkner's
county is "fernent" him. The Republican
success there was simply repetition of the
old story of the Dutch having taken Hol-
land. 1t doesn't seem to have occurred to
the Herald that President Harrison didn't
carry his own city, county or State. If in
Berkeley county it had been a question OF
Charles James Faulkner for any position
in the gift of that people, there would have
been such a majority for him as old Berke-
ley never gave to any man, dead or living.
The prospective loss of four hundred
cents per day position of the editor OF the
Herald seems to have robbed him of COM
mon sense.

Evans, q Newark, y. j., colored letter
carrier, ate 2l0 oysters in Al minutes last
night, having wagered SO to eat 200 inside
of an hour. He completed his feat in ex-
actly Il minutes. The oysters were of an
ordinary size, large and small ones being
eaten just as opened. To make sure of his
winning he called for 10 more oysters and
swallowed them with an apparent relish
When he had pocketed his winnings he
walked to a well-known restaurant on
Broad street and ordered a steak, which he
ate as if he had merely taken the oysters as
an appetizer.
