NOTHING BUM GRASSHOPPERS.


"The way the silyerites in Texas, go
about shouting for silver and calling every
man who differs with them is. a fool, is so
ridiculous that it is amusing" said poll
tician last night. They remind one of
nothing SO much as tIhe noisy demagogues
once described by Burke in a smile which
4cr, beauty and force stands unequalled
in the language, Because said he, half
a dozen grasshoppers under a fern make
the field ring with their importunate chink,
whilst thousands of great cattle reposed
beneath the shadow of the British oak,
chew the, cud and are silent, pray do not
imagine that those who make the noise
are the only inhabitants of the field; that
of course they are many in number; or
that after all they are other than the
little shriveled, meager, hopping, though
loud and troublesome insects of the hour.
The silyerites who thus shout themselves
hoarse no more represent the Democracy
of this State than the grasshoppers of the
field represent all the inhabitants thereof.
They are noisy and troublesome. They
inficL themselves on the people, but their
shrill AID discordant voices speak for no
constituency. They are but meagre and
shriveled insects"

ADMINISTRATIVE GALL.

81 haven't seen anything in the papers
of late about any petitions being circu-

Cleveland to make any appointments"
remarked a certain Austinite, with a
hnowire rim, yesterday. 81 hope, for

"that no more petitions will be circu-
lated I looks ito me as though it would
require epod deal of gall for the present
adm.n'- native family to ask any favors
OF Cleveland, anyway. If understood the
matte ;ht, they went up to Fort
Worth and worked and voted for reso-
lutions and the like that dubbed C.eve-

ostracism from the party. AS soon as
they get home they go TO work and try
to secure q man a job by endOrsink his

consider their request favorab!y. This

STRONG WORDS.
THE STATEMENT OF AN OLD
SCHOOL DEMOCRAT.

Eighty-Years-OId Isaac Eddy Strong
and WeIl---'Going TO Live as Long as
Cam"
A representative of this paper had oc-
casion recently to call on Isaac Eddy, the
well-known owner of the Broad Brook
Farm, two miles from Brattleboro, VT.
Mr.. Eddy was found hard at work in his
garden.
After the usual prelminaries the con-
versation turned upon the subject of Mr..
Eddy's strength and apparent good health,
and it was with some surprise that the
newspaper man learned that the old man
was in his eightieth year. A serious illness
from which he suffered last fall was re-
ferred to, and called forth from Mr. Eddy
a strong endorsement of the virtue of DR..
Williams's Pink Pills for Pale People.
II was having hard time with scrofu-
lous swelling of my legs" he said, "when
the pills we're recommended to me, and
began taking them and they brought me
up again, and now l am almost as good as
new. l keep to work and am going to
live as long as l can. l still take the pills
and believe they have much to do with my
present good health"
Other members of Mr.. Eddy's family
were seen and they were equally emphatic
in words of praise for DR.. Williams's rem
edies.
Isaac Eddy is the youngest son of the
late Judge Eddy of Newfane. In 1861 he
moved to the Broad Brook Farm where he
now lives. In both towns he has held va
rious town offices, and is a good example
of the sturdy New England farmer of the
old stock. He is man of strong convic-
tions, and though his political party is not
the strongest in the Green Mountain state,
he always casts the straight Democratic
ticket, being at one election at least the
only man to cast a ballot for the Democracy
in his town His family surroundings are
unusually pleasant, and it was with great
pleasure that he and his wife celebrated in
| '03 their golden wedding. On this occasion
their three daughters and their two grand
children were present and assisted the
worthy couple in receiving the scores of
friends who called to paw their respects.
The proprietors of DR.. Williams's Pink
Pills state that they are not patent med
| lclne but a prescription used for many
| years by au eminent practitioner who pro
| duced the most wonderful results with
them, curing all forms of weakness arising
| from a watery condition of the blood or
| shattered nerves, two fruitful causes of
almost every i'll to which the flesh is heir.
The pills are also a specific for the troubles
peculiar to females, such as suppressions,
all forms of weakness, chronic constpa-
ton, bearing down pains, etc, and in the
case of men will give speedy relief and eff
