The actual salary of minister of the

who are called to the state councils.
but the immense patronage such an
Office confers Is eagerly sought after by
all aspirants to political renown and
emoluments. Although the prime
minister's annual stipend is no more
than $4,000 per annum, his patronage
may be estimated at ten times that sum.

He Did His Duty.
Blackstone Courier.)

The views of the Courier in regard 10
the Pollard murder case are too we'll
known to be. repeated. We have no sort
of doubt of the guilt Of the negroes; we
believe that they have been fairly and
impartially tried and convicted, and that
the people of Lunenburg have been out
rageously misrepresented and slandered
by certain newspapers in and out of this
State But we are also of the opinion
that Governor O'Ferrall has been en-
tirely misunderstood, and in some in
stances maliciously misrepresented in re-
gard TO the part he has taken In this most
Important case. There are times when
there is a wide difference between the
duty of a man in his official capacity and
the duty Of that same man as private
citizen; but some people seem utterly IN
capable of appreciating this fact.
III Is the duty Of the Governor of this
G mmonwealth to exhaust every means
at his command to protect any citizen
whose life he may believe to be in Jeo-
pardy The present Governor believed the
lives of the Lunenburg prisoners 10 be
in danger, and he sought 10 protect them.
He did this, and nothing more, and did
il In the prompt. manly, and courageous
way which has. characterized every act OF
his life.
the authority of the judiciary is the
sheerest nonsense. Ii he desired to ig-
more the authority of the County Court
of Iunenburg, why did he communicate
with that court at all? Lunenburg Court
house is fifteen or twenty miles from the
nearest telegraph-station, and II was ne
cessary to dispatch a special messenger
10 reach Judge organ. This the Cover
nor did. and while 1t was his purpose
TO detain the prisoners just exactly the
number of hours it required the messen-
ger TO 20 and return, they were in reality
detained by him only twenty minutes;
after that time the prisoners were held
by an order from the Circuit Court OF
Richmond.
Now, these are facts. and the Courier
has no patience with the senseless abuse
which has been heaped upon the head OF
one OF the purest. brayest, and noblest
men this old State has ever produced.

WHAT ABOUT OUR KIDNEYS ?
SOME FACTS ABOUT THEIR PAINS
AND DISEASES.
The symptoms of Sick kidneys and
the Disease That sick kidneys
VIII Cause--A sure ture
for the Kidneys and for
These Diseases.

There are a great many people who
don't know that the kidneys are simply
filters.
All the blood made by the food we eat
passes through our kidneys.
The kidneys separate what Is bad from
what is good. what IS unhealthy from
what Is healthy throw out the bad, ana
let the good pass on TO nourisn our
body.
And this is going on every minute OF
our lives.
Some folks overwork their kidneys.
They have TO suffer the consequences.
But the consequences would not be so
bad If they would take Dr. Hobbs Spara-
gus Kidney Pills.
The kidneys get Overworked from wor-
nv. hard work Of the body or mind
excesses. overheating, ETC.
Worry Is probably the most common
Of these causes.
Overwork Of the kidneys makes them
sick, and they make us sick.
When the kidneys are sick the blood
suffers. 1t gets poor thin unhealthy
poisonous.
When our kidneys are sick we may
nave Bright's Disease. Diabetes. Ne
phritis, and other dangerous Kidney
troubles
or, we may have rheumatism, Govt
Neuralgia. General Muscular Weakness,
etc; or Anaemia, Pale. and Sallow Com
plexion, Chlorosis or Green sickness,
Dizziness. etc; or Skin Diseases, PIN
pies. Botches,' Eruptons. &c
II may seem wonderful that one medi-
cine should be able TO cure all these dis
eases, but when we remember that they
are all caused by impure blood. and that
the impure blood is caused by the Kid
news. ID becomes a question OF simple,
common sense.
The kidneys make pure blood.
Pure blood means health
Therefore, when you have diseases OF
impure blood. cure your kidneys with
