DEAFNESS Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one
wav TO cure deafness. aud that is by constitu.
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by 1u
iniamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachiau TnLe. When this tube is intlamed
you have u rumbling sound or imperfect hear
lug. and when ii is entirely closed. Deafness
is The result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and tube restored TO its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh.

Extract from Gen. Stephen D.
Lees Address.

/ behold before me here today the
white heads of Confederate veterans,
of the men who thirty-one years ago
lost all save honor. They are failing
now swifter than ever their comrades
fell on the field of battle; they have
lived, thank God, 20 restore their
country to freedom and prosperity
again-dear land! for which they
fought and sacrificed and suffered
and lost! They who are about to die,
salute you.
There are those who confidently
expect the time to come when Con-
federate graves will no longer be
decorated with howers-when monu-
ments will cease to commemorate the
splendid heroism of the devoted sac
%riices of those who fell for their
State. For one, / believe that the
time will never come when the South
will cease to love the Confederate SOL
dier. He would have been dear to
her if he had returned home amid
the booming of cannon, and the plau-
dts of victory. Mothers would have
lifted their little children in their
arms to behold the hero's face
Church bells would have rung a ma
TONS joy, and a grateful people
would have showered honors upon
his head.
God did not will it so.
The soldier came ragged, bleeding,
penniIess to his obsolete home; with
sad heart, but dauntless courage to
restore the land he loved. He gave
all for his country, and she, unhap-
py mother, had nothing left to give
him but her love. Dearer, q thous-
and times dearer, to the South, are
her ragged heroes of 1865, than all
her victorious sons of other years.
She will never believe that the
men who drew the sword in defense
of her hearthstones in 1861 are wor-
thy of reproach. Shame upon the
Southern people if they shall ever de-
file the one page of their history
which is glorious beyond compare
by writing owe the records of immor-
tai heroism, of love that counted not
the cost, and patriotism that was
faithful even unto death. such words
as these, "They were all wrong, it
was all a mistake" Rather let their
story be blotted out altogether, for
their children will no longer be wor-
thy to read or emulate their achieve
ments. Until hat hour, every name
less grave, every tattercd flag, every
worn jacket of gray, shall find hearts
to love and hands to cherish them. =
The people of the South would not
exchange the story OF the Confedera-
cy for the wealth of the world. At
their mothers knees the coming gen
erations shall learn from that story
what deeds make men great and ma
tions glorious.
The people who do not cherish
their past will never have a future
worth recording. The time is even
now that the whole people of the
United States is proud of the unsur-
passed heroism, sacrifice, and faith
fitness of the soldiers and people of
the Confederacy.
= r = y tFThc terrible past
Must be ours while life shall last,
Ours with its memories, ours with its pain;
Ours with its best blood shed like rain;
The sacrifices all made in vain;
Forget? Neverl"
