by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an intlamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inaamed you have, r1umblin!s
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 con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

All Charming,

Man sweeps the strings to flatter;
When a girl is thin and long
He lisps Of "willowy graces'
Through the measures Of his song!
But when a girl is buxom,
Or, rather, when she's fat
He sings of "witching plumpness,"
And claims to worship that.

Treasurer Jones will perform the du-

AN ARMY MYSTERY.
How Men Used to Disappear from the
Confederate Army and where
They went.

Speaking of army mysteries" said
the captain, in the Chicago Inter Ocean,
81 know OF one that still remains a
mystery so far as the public are con-
cerned. After Pemberton's surrender
at Vicksburg his army, $1,000 strong,
was sent into parole camp near Black
river, ten miles from the city. Penn
berton was in command, aud his idea
was to hold the paroled men together
in camp, drill them, keep up their dis
cipline, so that when they were ex-
changed they would be ready for i'm.
mediate service in the confederate
army. But in few days hundreds of
men disappeared from the camp. In
two weeks the deserters were num-
bered by the thousands, and Pember-
