ROOT AND BRANCH.

ROOT AND BRANCH,
the poison in your blood, however it
may have come or whatever shape
it may be taking, is cleared away
by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. It's remedy that rouses
every organ into healthful action,
purifies and enriches the blood, and
through it cleanses and invigorates
the whole system. Salt-rheum, Tet-
ter, Eczema, Erysipelas, Boils, Car
buncles, Enlarged Glands, and the
worst Scrofulous Sores and Swell
ings, are perfectly and permanently
cured by it.
Unlike the ordinary Spring med
icines or sarsaparillas, the "Discov-
cry" works equally well at all seas
ons. All the year round and in all
cases, it is guaranteed, as no other
blood medicine is. II it ever fails
to benefit or cure, you have your
money back. You pay only for the
good you get.
Isn't 1t safe to say that no other
blood purifier can be "just as
good 2"
II it were, wouldn't it be sold so

I. Practically, however, he says, the North
was ION firmer ground" because her in

OF the Southern States from the Union,
and this justified her 'in %forbidding their
departure!" And, he adds Stripped OF
legal technicalities, the dispute resolved
Itself into the problem often proposed.

munity sovereignty means anything, or
bills OF rights have any validity. THE
result decides" says Mr.. Bryce; in other
words, wr~ong-dolng, II It prospers. Is no
longer criminal.
Mr.. Bryce, an abolitionist, like Goodwin
Smith, has not, like him, learned yet one
OF the p~lainest facts connected with the
war. namely, that II was not waged by
the North TO abolish slavery, nor did the
Southern States In defending their liber-
ties and their property fight for slavery
as a direct Issue. Therefore, when he
praises the Confederates he does 1t after
this fashion: Nor was there n want
Of high-souled patriotism in the South.
The people gave their blood freely. n
among the leaders there were many who
offered up fine characters, as well as
brilliant talents, on an altar which all
but themselves deemed unhallowed.'
How refreshing it is to turn from such
u%tterances to the appreciatlve, sympa-
thetic judgments Of Percy Greg! No
grudging eulogies are his; no narrow,
stinted understanding OF our character
istics as a people, and Of our institutions
in which domestic slavery was engrafted
as an inheritance from Colonial days.
For our peerless homes. for the incom-
parable chivalry that made up our ar
mics, this historian has only admiration.
but IL is intelligent discriminating, the
award of a gifted writer and a pains
taking, laborious student of the things OF
which he speaks. His brilliant style, his
narrative art, his pen portraits-as, for
instance, the picture OF Calhoun, that
grandest civic figure OF his time-his clear
and cogent. unanswerable, presentation

book we cannot too highly extol.
Alas this friend, our knightly nam

calamity for us on the tourney of his
tory, no longer lives that We may give
him our full-hearted thanks. But, as
we honor ourselves, our heroic past, and

The priceless paintings belonging to the
famous Palace OF Fine Arts at Lille have
met with a sad misfortune. A few months
ago a building was especially constructed
at an enormous expense for the collection,
which is one OF the finest in France. The
dampness which always pervtdes n new
building has caused a white film to cor
ode upon the pictures. so In consequence
the local authorities are in a ferment OF
excitement. Among the artists represent
ed are Raphael. Michael Angelo, Titan,
Da Vinci, Van Dyck, RubCns and a host
of modern masters. The mould is SO
thick upon some that mushrooms are
stated to be growing upon a fine portrait
of a m by Terburg. Van Dyck's
coronation of the Virgin" he death
of the Magdalen," by Rubens; the An
nunciaticn." by Champagne. and SUI
sanna in the Bath" by Jordaens. are all
cracked and discolored almost beyond
recognition.
