DUNCAN STILL LIVES.

He Read the Story in an Atlanta Paper.
E. D. Duncan still lives, and is in the
very best of health. He has not even
been to Cuba, however much his sym.
pathies may lie with the insurgents on
that island.
Mr.. Duncan is now in Atlanta. 1t
appears that he has been down in
Georgia, and by some misrepresentation
it has been published that he went over
to Cuba, and after joining the Cuban
army was slain in the very first battle
in which he was engaged.
The Atlanta Constitution published
the report from Nashville that the Ten.
nessee walking statesman had fallen
in Cuba, according to the best informa-
ton to be gained.
Mr.. Duncan happened to be in At
lantG at the time and read of his death
in Cuba with some surprise, as he had
not placed himself in the way of the
machete or Spanish muskets. The fol.
lowing gives the reporters interview
with Mr., Duncan denying his death:
Am | dead?" he asked when told
about the report that he had been
killed in Cuba.
Il do not look much like a dead
man, do II
II am at q loss to understand how
such a report could have gained cur
rency," continued Mr.. Duncan. II
am afraid that it will reach my people
ia Boston and that they will be
troubled about me. ,~
mo, | have never been to Cuba, and
| do not know that l shall ever go
there. have been pretty close to the
island since l left Tennessee, but did
not land"
How do you account for the report
which has been placed in circulation"
II have not the slightest idea. unless
ONE of my friends who have not heard
from me took it for granted that | had
been killed. : l may have told some of
them in a testing way that l was going
to Cuba, but that was ALL"

For Lady Readers.

The discovery of McElree's Wine of
Cardui has brought about a revolution
in the treatment of the common com.
plants, from which all women suffer,
called Female Diseases" The belief
that these troubles could only be treat
ed after examinations by physicians,
and frequently only cured by the sur.
geon's knife, was once whispered. The
dread of such treatment, and exposure,
kept thousands of the modest women
silent about their suffering. They pre-.
ferred the pains and torture to going to
a physician about such matters.
1t has now been demonstrated that
nine cases out of ten of women's dis.
orders, painful and troublesome as they
are, do not require the attention of a
physician at all. Local treatment
or private examinations" have been
shown to be entirely unnecessary The
simple, pure Wine of Cardui, taken in
the privacy of the home, insures quick
relief.
1t is entirely unnecessary for any
woman to suffer from these almost
universal complaints. She can get a
bottle of McElree's Wine of Cardui at
the nearest drug store for 81 and
quickly put an end to the unpleasant
pains and arrangements. Thousands
of women are well today because they
did that.

Deafness Cannot be Cnred

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only n way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamaed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
intlamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-.
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but on inilamed condition of the mu.
cous surfaces.

SOME "REMINISCENCES. No. :.

In his issue of March II, 1862, Editor
Graham opens out with an editorial
headed, "The Legislature"
The Legislature adjourned ON the
Isl irst. 1t has been most important
Tor the happiness aud prosperity of our
State which has ever convened within
It's borders. 1t has been a SAVIOR of life
to HE TO East Tennessee. The Bridge
Bill, and the General Internal Improve,
ment Bill, have made provision for
changing the entire aspect both of the
country and the people who inhabit
this end OF the State Every line of
these acts breathes salvation to our
temporal condition; every section is
an apostical epistle, precious to our
condition and prosperity, as those of
sacred writ to the followers of our
Redeemer. May our utmost hopes and
wishes in these laws be fully realized,
and may East Tennessee lift her head
from her downcast position aud look
boldly forth, the proudest and most
prosperous section of our Union.
The bill to reform the civil code of
practice in our courts also passed. This
Will hereafter place the cases in our
courts on their own merits alone, and
many of the 6enseless technicalities
and bubbles of law, which literally
confound common sense, will be laid
aside. Honest and plain spoken people
will rejoice a. this; and for one. we re-
joice that our day has fallen in an ~
when the 'barbarism and uncertainties
OF the law are laid aside, and in plain
simplicity Justice opens her courts,
suspends her scales in the eyes, and
deals out equal and exact rewards and
punishment to those who seek her al.

Hon. W. Z. Brownlow's ANALYSIS of the
question of consolidating pension agen.
cics presents features that will attract
careful attention.
The feature that strikes me most forci.
bly, IS the alternative which he presents.
That is, il the question Of saving expen-
SEES, requires u reduction OF the number
OF agencies, why not discontinue all ex-
cept an agency at Washington from
which payments could he made directto
claimants? Let me amend that alterna.
tive idea by asking, why not honor the
u%nyiclding loyalty and patriotism of
East Tennessee by establishing at IFS
metropolis, Knoxville, acCNtral and sole
agency from which all the pensioners of
our government shall be paid? East
tennessee was the central kew point
around and from which the resulting
destinieS OF the late wal turned as we'll
as those OF our revolutionary struggle of
lTI6, in the successful battle of Kings
Mountain 1t is not only possible, but
probable, that had East Tennessee been
dtsloyal to our Government and cause
in l776 and in 1861, England first, and the
~pfO-slaNerN I|On1euefacN second Won
have triumphed, or, at least, the cause of
liberty and Union greatly DELAYED.
Then let East Tennessee be honored
and crowned with the great central
agency for the payment of our entire
roll of honor.
believe it has. been found from trial,
that the most expeditions and satisfac.
tory mode of pension payment is, by
certificate checks. This being so, such
certificates can be as well issued from
one geographical point as from ten,
twenty, or II hundred different places,
and, from East Tennessee as the one
point, as well or better than from Wash
ing City. | say better for the reason that
it is but a short step away from our
geographical center OF population, and,
the peculiarly healthy climate and
abundant supplies for cheap living will
insure more and better work from the
employees of the Office.
Indeed, | can make still another sug-
gestion step better: Let the great and
sole pension paying agency office be es-
tablished in Jonesboro-the oldest and
first capitol city Of the State.
