Beware Of 0intments for Catarrh that
Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pre-
scriptions from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by FL. Cheney & Co., Toledo, o.,
contains no mercury, and is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. IL

THERE is considerable ferment in

time for years when there seemed to
be more earnest attention given to the
affairs of the country. The Speaker
Of the House has practically autocratic
power, but he does not have power
enough to shut out the earnest ex.
preston Of opinion Of many men be-
fore him and it looks very much like
he would be compelled to hear great
many things he is not DESTROYS of hear
ing. We take all this unrest as a sign
of healthy sentiment and vigorous
thought, and nothing else could be of
more real value to the country. If
the people will think and agitate, there
is always hope. 1t is Indifference and
neglect which bring such a train of
evils in their wake. A thinking man
may sometimes be wrong, as Saul Of
Tarsus was wrong, but he will have
a good chance of getting right. We
expect TO see some notable changes
soon and we believe that the reading
and thinking people will have very
decided influence in bringing them
about.

ONE OYSTER FEEDS rs MEN.
Remarkable Catch Recently Made In
the Niagara River.

the Niagara River.
A most remarkable oyster has been
taken from Niagara river by two Buff
falo fishermen. The shell alone, with
out the meat, weighs PIP pounds, and
is feet inches across and 10 inches
broad. 1t contained fifty genuine
pearls. That it may be proved that
this wonderful tale is no fish story"
the oyster was placed on exhibition for
a week at Buffalo saloon, where the
public was hidden to come and see it
The meat was cooked and made into a
stew, which filled to the brim two
eight-quart pals. Seventy-five men
partook of the repast it furnished.
The fishermen made the find when
their net caught on a snag of some
sort and was held fast AS the water
was shallow, not more than waist deep,
one of them jumped from the boat to
investigate and found the net attached
to what seemed a big rock
1t was covered with a white sub
stance resembling lime, and its pecul-
lar appearance induced the fishermen
to take it ashore with them. There,
when it was washd off, they dis
covered, to their amazement, that they
had a mammoth oyster.-Philadel
