catarrh Cannot be cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they car
a blood or constitutional disease, and in order
to cure it you must take internal remedies
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, aud
acts directly on the blood and mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not a ouack
medicine. 1t was prescribed by one of the
best physicians in this country for years, and
is regular prescription. 1t is composed of
the best tonics known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous
surfaces. The perfect combination of the two
ingredients is what produces such wonderful
results in curing Catarrh. Send for testimon-

9 senotlta EvangeIina cisneros.
YoR THE sPIRIr or IEFrERsoN.

[The father of Evangelina cisneros,
while making preparation to join the Gu
ban forces, was taken prisoner AID SEN
fenced to be shot. Evangeline, then
girl of sixteen, fastened to see the Cap
tain General of Cuba, to.ask clemency in
his behalf After much delay she gained
admittance and the sentence was com
muted to Imprisonment for life in the
Spanish penal colony in Africa. This
Communication saved her fathers life from
a sudden to slow but certain death. A
new Captain General came into office at
this time, and Evangeline determined to
seek from him further c1emency. After
being turned away from the gate of that
officers quarters for many days she final
ly, through the kindness of his son, was
admitted, and her fathers sentence was
committed to imprisonment in the penal
colony on the Isle of Pines, a small island
lying south of Cuba, While her father
remained in prison in Cuba Evangeline
daily prepared his meals and took them
in a little basket to the prison, but she
was seldom allowed to enter. When this
sentence was imposed Evangeline and
her sister Carmen accompanied their ia
Their and shared his privations. Her
beauty attracted the attention of Col.
Berriz, the governor of the island, and he
became violently enamoured. When he
found his addresses repulsed, he tried to
influence her by severe punishments in
ficted on her father, and finding these
unavailing he then attempted to ravish
her but her cries caused the Cuban
prisoners to rise, and Berriz was
severely handled. For this Evangeline
and Carmen were charged with exciting
the prisoners to murder Berriz, and she
and her sister sent to Havana and con
fined in a loathsome prison with aband-
oned characters. Her sister was released
after a short imprisonment, but Evan
geline remained there fifteen months,
when she was rescued by the heroic Carl
Decker.]
1 have heard thy voice, Evangeline,
Bewailing thy fathers cruel fate
have heard thy voice, Evangeline,
Calling in vain at the despot's gate;
1 have seen thee bear thy frugal gift
And knock in vain at the prison door,
Yearning to solace thy fathers life,
His hunger feed from thy scanty store
Cuba Libre's battle cry is mine,
Sword of the Lord and Evangeline.
1 have heard thy voice, Evangeline,
Thy songs waited on the Southern
winds;
1 have heard thy voice, Evangeline,
Awakening far out the Isle of Pines.
Spanish tyrants tremble at thy call,
Tho helpless thou vert, brave hearts
were near
To save virtue from Hispano lust,
They break prison chains and Danish
fear.
cubre Libre's battle cry is mine,
Sword of the Lord and Evangeline.
have heard thy voice, Evangeline,
Appealing from the felon's loathsome
cell;
l have heard thy voice. Byangeline,
Calling to me from Habana's hell.
I will avenge all thy cruel wrongs,
Break thy fathers chains, thy country
free
Berries blood shall Tarquin lust atone,
And dear Carmen be restored to thee.
Cuba Libre's battle cry is mine,
Sword of the Lord and Evangeline.

The beautiful poetical contribution
given on this page is from the pen of a
well-known gallant exconfederate officer,
whose sword has not only flashed often
and vigorously in the cause of liberty, but
whose pen as well, is tipped with patriotic
fire. and has been used in tracing frequent
exceedingly interesting contributions to
the columns of the SPIRIT OF JEFFERSON.
His innate modesty forbids us appending
his name here, but we are strongly tempt
ed to do so notwithstanding.

The Supreme Court of Appeals of West
Virginia has recently decided two cases
in favor of the Baltimore Building and
Loan Association. which are of great i'm
portance to all building and loan associ-
atoms, locals as well as nationals.
In Wise's Sons case it is decided that the
deed of trust of such association cannot
be changed as to terms of payment by
any subsequent lienor The other case is
the Archer case. in which the court de-
cides that the building and loan statute
of West Virginia is constitutional, and
that premium, interest and fines can be
charged, and there is no usury in such
loan. This is the Association of which
E. K. Legg, Esq, is the general mana

very great success. D. B. Gibson, Esq.

scourge OF the ,"Crld offensive, painful,

Outward applications d not cure, they
only drive the difficulty TO new quarters.
EmolIients may palIiatc, they cannot
abolish the evil. There Is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it j. the only one that, so far as We
know, has almost invariably succeeded -
even ncrc the system has been poisoned
by long years Of faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is HOOD 4 SaTzaparilla. Read this:
