The success of Hood's Sarsaparilla
in conquering scrofula in whatever
way it may manifest itself is vouched
for by thousands who were severely
afflicted by this prevalent disease,
but who now rejoice over permanent
cure by Hoods Sarsaparilla. Scrof-
ula may appear as humor, or it may
attack the glands of the neck, or
break out in dreadful running sores
on the body or limbs. Attacking the
mucous membrane, it may develop
into catarrh or lodging in the lungs
lead to consumption. Come as it
may, a faithful course OF treatment
with Hoods Sarsaparilla will over
come it, for working upon the foun-
dation of all diseases, impure blood,
the system is clarified and vitalized,
and vigor, strength and health re-
stored to the body.

The Mason-Foard Company have
filed suit at Frankfort against w. M.
Finley and other publishers of the
Louisville Truth for $4,000 damages
for the publication of an article charg-
ing that the Mason-FoarG Company
paid "a state official $9,644.29 as his
share of the company's dividend in
1892. This is the same libel fer
which Auditor Norman has brought
suit against the Louisville CONNER
cial and for which the latter paper has
been indicted.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced 1t a local disease,
and prescibed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh cure, manufactured by
F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.
1t acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circu
lars and testimonials. Address,

John Sherman has written book
giving history of his "Forty Years
In Public Life" in which he has
created sensation by bringing
charges of bad faith against Garfield,
Harrison and other notable men. The
principal feature of the book is the
claim of the author that he is the
father of our present financial system,
that has driven $173,OOO,OOO of gold
out of the country within the last two
years. He is welcome to all the cred
it he can get out Of the ''Crime of '73. -

There are consolipg features about
the detection tof the Louisville gold
bugs. The vote for Hardin will fix
the representation for the next State
Convention and the gold advocates
who scratch Hardin will not be on
hand to give further trouble next
year when the real fight comes on.
If the Louisville vote drops from
$4,000 to 10000 it simply means that
Louisville will have 80 instead of 80
votes in future conventions. just to
that extent will this hole of corrup-
tion be deprived of power to injure
the Democratic party and sell out its
long established principles. Let the
boilers do their worst and still the
Democratic ticket will win. The
country is aroused and the Democrats
of Kentucky will do their duty like
men. The country will increase it's vote
beyond all presidents and it would
not surprise us to see Hardin lead
the ticket. He will do it in this coun
ty and unless we are very much mis-
taken Christian county will have at
least Is votes in future conventions,
instead of IL as at present.

The Grand Rivers Herald submits
this as its guess on the judicial race
"To make an estimate of the proba.
BILE vote in the third district we would
say that Judge Linn would get ma
jority of 1l50 in Galloway, Lyon 275
and Trigg by 225. making total Of
1fsN Rr"athi.S Would get majority
= 100 in Christian. giving Linn 9
net majority of ZOOvotes. 1t Is moi
probable that there will be a full
vote, and the chances are more in
Judge Breathitt's favor on this ac-
count. Democracy is quiet and Rep
ubllcanism Is rampant n the district.
1t looks, however, as if any changes
from the above votes are made they
will be favorable to Judge Linn and
unfavorable to his opponent"
These figures are far from correct
estimate. Lyon is probably about
right, but Trigg will give at least 400,
while Breathitt will have to run 500
votes ahead of his ticket to get 1900
in Christian county. Breathitt will
not go to Galloway with more than
800 majority, which ought to be easily
overcome.

The Duke of Marlborough. who

The Duke of Marlborough, who has
come to this country to trade his title
for Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt's mil
lions, seems to be something of a
high roller and red painter. While
in Louisville last week, according tc
the Star, he took in a limb show at
the 'Buck," and had to be elected
from the wings, where he had gone in
an attempt to make the acquaintance
of one of the dancing girls. After
being put out like any ordinary
youngster, he got in hack and made
a trip to the red-light-district. Now
comes the news that he has been ar
rested in New York for violating a
park ordinance, by riding with his
feet on the handles of his bicycle. If
Miss Vanderbilt doesn't make haste
and marry her Dock, she may have to
bail him out of Jail.

The Cotton States and Tnterua-
tional Exposition at Atlanta, which
takes rank among the most brilliant
fairs ever organized on the American
Continent, comes in for conspicuous
attention, both pictorial and literary
in the November number of Frank
Leslie's Popular Monthly. The lead
ing article on this subject is from the
authoritative pen of Walter G..
Cooper, the energetic chief of the De-
partment of Publicity and promotion.
Among the notable short stories is
"The Railway Signal" by the famous
Russian writer, Garshine. The
frontispiece is an admirable repro
duction in water colors of charac-
teristic "The New England Thanks
giving Dinner" Altogether, the inn
proved Frank Leslie's Popular
Monthly is brilliant success.

other nestfuIs until they would
cover the victim and sting him to
death.
The wrens seem fully conscious Of
the value of such sentinels, for they
take care to build their new nests
always very near TO the old. The
birds are themselves entirely de-
fenseless, and, their nests being
easily located on account of size and
the noise made by the wrens, they
have in some localities been entirely
wiped out by egg-collectors. The
boys have learned to give this col
ony wide berth, however, and the
Housatonic marsh wrens are fast in-
creasing in numbers, and, unless
the hornets shift their quarters, are
likely to sing happily there in the
reeds and raise many brood of
young in years to come. IN. Y.

On the broad, brown salt mead

just above it's mouth is vast COL
ony Of marsh wrens. In the acre of
tangled tules and cat tails they have
built nests innumerable, prettily
woven affairs of reed and cat tail
leaves. The nests, which are as
large as ones head, are SO compact
ly constructed and so thoroughly
matched as to be entirely weather
tight. AS a rule, the thrifty little
chattering wrens prefer not to oc-
cupy last-year's nest, SO there are
every season hundreds OF empty
ones. They are not allowed to re-
main vacant long, however, for
there are too many creatures seek

mice take possession of great many
of them, and the old mice can be
seen at all times of the day nimbly
running up and down the reeds,
coming to and going from their cozy
homes. Like most squatters, they
are not the most desirable settlers,
and, sad to say, frequently repay their
open-hearted landlords by eating
all the pink eggs in the nearby
wrens' nests. II caught in the act,
o dozen of the excited birds will or

the thief to his home and drive him
and his family from the nest, tear

Big spiders, too, love to nest in
the abandoned oasket-like abodes,
and live for many seasons in them.
The most desirable tenants of all
are the big black and white hornets.
BY far the greater number of the
old nests are inhabited by these
fiery fellows, and, odd to relate, 1
they are the best Of friends with the
landlords. AS if by agreement with
the wrens, they keep a perpetual
guard over the new nests, as well
as those where they live. Let q dog,

The leading article in the Noyem-
Der number of the Forum will be a
Discussion Of the third term question
by Professor John Bach McMaster,
the historian, entitled 'sThe Third term
Tradition" Mr.. McMaster cites the
we'll known historical presidents
agail5s Residential third term, and
thinks there is no reason to believe
that the old time antipathy to a third
term is one whit less stronger than it
ever was. Mr.. McMaster says that,
while our practice of choosing Presi-
dents, not because of their fitness, but
because of their availability, is in
theory all wrong, in practice no
harm comes from it; for under our
form of government we do not need
President of extraordinary ability
the average man is good enough,
and for him two terms is ample.
What we want, in Mr.. McMaffnjs
opinion,is strong government offhe
people by the people, not a govern
ment of the people by a strong man,
and we ought not to tolerate any
thing which has even the semblance
of heredity. Mr.. McMaster counsels
the advocates of third term for Mr..
Clevelan to remember the doctrine of
the illustrious founder of their party
that sin no Office can rotation be
more expedient."

The Louisville Democrats

The Louisville Democrats opened
the city campaign with a big rally at
Phoenix Hill last Thursday
night. Col. Breckinr dye was the
principal speaker and he made an ell
oquent plea for the whole ticket.
That the Democrats are getting into
better shape in Louisville is shown
by the fact that the Republicans have
lowered their claims from 10000 to
$500 in tie city, and many Demo-
Gratis even hope to carry the city for

Our Washington Letter.

WAsHINGToN, March 10, 1895.
President Cleveland returned to
Washington and Secretary Gresham
resumed his duties after ten days
sickness, just in time to give Spain
a lesson in international courtesy,
by forcing her to her knees as an
apologist for the action Of the COM
mander Of Spanish cruiser who
didn't have any better sense than
to fire on United States mail
steamer in the open sea, en- roote
from Colon to New York, merely
because he had a suspicion that
there might be supplies for those
engaged in the Cuban revolt on
that steamer. Senior Muruaga, the
Spanish minister, tried to get his
country let down easy by Fastening
to the Department of State ahead
of the official notification that the
flag of the United States had beer
fred upon, and saying that Spain
would apologize if any offense ol
indiscretion had been committed
by the commander Of the Spanish
cruiser. That minister is smart
he is. lie hasn't forgotten the last
time Spain had to go down on hel
marrow bones and in addition tC
give up good Spanish gold for hel
failure to pay proper respect to that
same United States flag.

To the Voters Of Amite county;
My name is announced in thi:
issue Of the Herald, as a candidate
for Sheriff Of your county and ]
adopt this method of saying few
words to you, touching my candi,
daey.
/ will not ask any one TO pledge
me his vote, because l believe every
voter ought to keep free from such
pledge, in contests between indi-
viduals. | will not request any
voter not to use his influence against
me, because it is the right and dlty
Of voters to exert ther influence, in
legitimate way, in behalf Of the
candidate Of their choice, and
against all opposition. The de-
merits Of candidates for public
offices should be held up for public
scrutiny and consideration in this
way, so that if they are Of such a
character as to warrant and Justify
defeat, they may be defeated. But
request all to give me the benefit
Of an impartial consideration Of my
merits, and demerits, in comparison
with those Of my opponents.
While the SheritTs office is not
one in which governmental politics
affecting the public veal are shaped,
yet one holding the office is in a
position where he may exercise a
large influence upon questions at
issue before the people. l deem it
not inappropriate, therefore, for me
to say, with reference to the great
question of finance now before the
country, that have been outspoken
in my opposition to the single gold
standard, and advocacy of the free
coinage of silver, regardless Of what
other nations do.
Being farmer, and compelled to
give my crops my personal labor
and attention, will, in all probabili-
ty, prevent me from making a
personal canvass of the county pre-
vious to the primary election.
lfyou see proper to choose m,
to fill the office, l pledge my best
efforts In trying to be faithful and
efficient in the discharge of duty

The New Orleans PlcaYnne.

Since the advent to its columns
of "CurrentComment in Mississippi"
this great metropolitan paper has
forged rapidly to the front as the
favorite paper of Mississippians, 1t
is so unique IN all respects-so able
in editorial, so all-embracing in
news service, 80 consplcuously cor
rect in all of its commercial reports,
that it is now regarded an the wade
mecum of the ina Of letters and
the reliable friend Of the man OF
commerce. The development of the
paper to its present excellence has
not been sudden. The slow and ae-
cumulated accretions of twenty
years are recognized in its sterling
and substantial success. Always
enterprising, always reliable, al
ways newsy, alwas aligned with
right, the Picayune, as a paper,
exists as model and as a paragon.
Its endearment to Mississippians
has been accomplished in large
measure by the brilliant and worthy
service Of that young and forceful
journalist, Mr.. Edgar s. Wilson,
than whom Mississippi has no man
superior in newspaper life. Mr..
Wilson is not only gifted mentally
with bright and just conceptions,
not only impartial in all deductions
but to these qualities he adds the
climax Of industry, which is seen
felt and appreciated in all his work
on the Picayune. The Signal ad
mires Mr.. Wilson as much for hi.
unAagging industry as it does fol
his genius. The Picayune is to bt
congratulated for the valuable &C
QUESTION to its force found in Mr.
Wilson, and to both is wished con
tinued. deserved and unboundeC
success. .-Copiah Signal.
