DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROyBURY, MASS.,

Has discovered in one of our common pasture weeds remedy that cures every kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula down to common Pimple.
 He has tried it in over eleven hundrei cases, and never failed except in two cases (both thunder humor). Hehas now in his possession over two hundred certificates of its value, all within twenty miles of Boston.
 A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and a perfect cure is war. ranted when the right quantity is taken.
 When the lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing through them; the same with the Liver or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being stopped, and always disappears in week after taking it.
 If the stomach is foul or bilious it will cause squeamish feelings at first.
 No change of diet ever necessary. Eat the best you can get, and enough of t. Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bed. time. Read the Label. Send for Book.

patches as follows:
The night of panic and disaster is past
and the rising sun of prosperity begins
to gid the horizon.
L is not yet day by any means, but
it is dawn and myriad busy workers
with brain and hand are inspired with
new hope and courage.
From all parts of the country our cor
respondents send dispatches of an op-
tmistic tenor touching the outlook for
manufactures and trade, and in the
views of local merchants, manufact urers
and bankers which. we present this
morning there is a similar note of cheer
Every since the repeal of the Sherman
law assured the country OF a sound cur
rency the people have taken new hearts
and the tendency of business has i'm
proved. Alehought the tariff agitation

Collision on the c. & O. Road-Two Men
Injured


CHARLoTTEsvILEE, VA, Dec. 10.-A
collision occurred at 11.35 yesterday near
Edge Hill, five miles east of this city, be-
tween the Chesapeake 4 Ohio f. F. v.
train going east and the local train going
west. EngineInan James Atkinson, OF
the f. f. ", had orders to pass the local
train at Edge Hill at 11.40. Going east
he had right of track, and, supposlng
that the local train was on the side track
reduced speed, but did not stop. The
west bound train was entering the sid
ing. but its engine and combination eX-
press and mail coach were exposed and
received what is known among train
men as a severe ''side swipe" from the
f f. V. engine. The engine and car
were almost totally wrecked, but the
e. F. V. engine, being much the heavier,
sustained much less Injury.
Express Messenger Bowman, of Staup-
ton, was standing in the door of the
west-bound train at the moment of
collision. The car upset, catching
Bowman's right leg. breaking it below
the knee He was Wedged in SO firmly
that the timbers had to be cut away
to release him. His pockets were pick
ed of $685. Mail Agent Ira Benedict
of Richmond. received a severe blow on
the head, probably producing fracture
and resulting in unconciousness. The
engnemen jumped moment before
the collision and were uninjured. Fire
man Lester remained on his engine. A
wrecking train, with men and ply
sicians. were sent from this place. The
mails were delayed and the road blocked
for five or six hours. The loss to the
railroad company is probably $4,000.

DEsoLATING JACKSON PARK.

Removal of the Exhibits Goes Merrily On.
CHICAGO, I'LL, Dec. 10-Removal of
the exhibits at jackson Park has not
progressed SO rapidly as anticipated.
But one-third of the goods have been
removed. The estimates call for rs to
100 carloads daily, but these figures have
since been found extravaganza, as the
average has been but so carloads. At
this rate it will take three months longer
to remove all exhibits, and the time
when all the buildings are clear will be
extended into March. The shipment
figures also showthat about 10 per cent.
of the foreign exhibits have been re-
moved
Twenty six hundred car -loads of these
exhibits were shipped to Jackson PARK,
and with an allowance of so carloads
sold there would be 1900 carloads yet
left. The delay in the removal of the
goods is blamed both upon the trans
portation department and the custom
house, officials of which claim that the
work has gone on as rapidly as possible.
1t is estimated that nearly two thirds
of the domestic exhibit has been re-
moved. The idea of making Manufact>
ures' Building bonded warehouse in
which the goods now remaining might
be centralized and left for the winter is
being talked of.

Clown With Dynamitards. F"


Saturday an attempt was made to dis
solve the French chamber of Deputies
with dynamite. Fortunately much less
damage was done than might have been
expected, as the chamber was thin, u
that is to say the proceedings were unin.
teresting, and not many members or
spectators were present
Nevertheless, the attempt caused a
profound sensation in Paris. 1t doesn't
take very much to excite that ebullent
capital, and this atroclty was quite
enough.
This is by no means the first time that
dynamite has been employed in Paris as
an instrument of political assassins.
Shrewd and ingenious as the French
are, they will no doubt go to work to
devise means to prevent a recurrence of
this crime-if indeed prevention be pos>
sible. So long as dynamite can be easily
gotten prevention be possible So long
as dynamite can be easily gotten pre-
vention will not be easy of accomplish
ment. Unhappily, too, there are now
a-days many rascals who know how to
make this explosive for themselves
What the law can do it should do with
all it's might to put down these enemies
OF society.-Disp0tch.

Nomination Of Judges.

The Democratic caucus has acted
wisely in postponng till after the Chist-
mas holidays the nomination of judges.
Judges cannot be elected till 1894, and
it would be useless to nominate them far
in advance. Besides our legislators
should have an opportunity to talk to
their constitutions before they deter
some members are already committed"
but many others are not.
Care must be exercised in the selection
OF our judges. A mistake made is not
to be easily corrected. The Circuit
Court judges are to serve for eight years,
corporation judges for six, and the Su
preme Court judges for twelve. Most
of the present Circuit Court and Cor
poration judges will be reelected. Not
SO with the bench of the Supreme Court
of Appeals. Let us therefore proceed
all the more cautiously Let us be sure
that we get the right men.
We are not only glad that these nomi-
nations have been postponed but that
the nominations of Senators and Cap
itol officers have been made in advance
CT the nomination Of judges. This gives
or ought 10 gigc-s clear field for the
choice of judges, if there has been no
great swapping" OF votes.
The people of Virginia would receive
with expressions of Unreasonable indig-
nation and scorn the announcement of
any nomination tainted by trading
Our judges ought to be men as to
whose character ability, and suitable
ness in oil respects no question can be
raised We have such men and they
will accept our judgesflips They want
the places and we want them. Then let
| the word go out that it is the purpose
,syf the two houses of the General Assem-
bly, of Virginia to s.pick and choose
till they get for these positions men who
are OF the purest and best Virginia has.

What is Eczema?
1t is an agony of agonies.
A torture Of fortunes

A torture of tortures.
1t is an itching and burning of the
skin almost beyond endurance.
1t is thousands of pin-headed YES
icles filled with an acrid fluid, ever
forming, ever bursting, ever flowing
upon the raw excoriated skin.
No part Of the human skin is
exempt.
1t tortures, disfigures and humil-
iates more than all other skin diseases
combined.
Tender babies are among its most
numerous victims.
They are often born with it.
Sleep and rest are out Of the
question.
Most remedies and the best ply
sicians generally fail, even to relieve.
If CUTICURA did no more than
cure Eczema, it would be entitled to
the gratitude of mankind.

A single application is often suffl-
cient to afford instant relief, permit
