POPULAR FALLACIES.

l:\tracts From a Lecture Delivered

in Boston in 1950.

Thorn is no tad so popular in contemporary history as the belief that the people now living are the bri. litest and most intelligent of any that ever inhabited the earth. When the speaker was a young fellow about IS years old, he enlisted in the United States army and went on the Cuban campaign. The enemy around in the fields did not prove very deadly or dangerous. A few were killed in battle, enough to to consecrate the soil as containing the graves of martyrs to the cause of liberty. But alter the war was over there commenced the harvest of death from disease. Where one had died gloriously on the tield of battle, a hundred pined away with disease and died in the camp or hospital with no honors, no glory. Where one came homo wounded to be petted and make display of memorable scars, hundreds crawled back sick and emaciated to curse the doctors and charge the government with gross outrage in not preparing an effective defense against climate and disease. The doctors of t.bat age contended that they had arrived at the' age of human wisdom. They had scoffed at the ignorance of their ancestors who had believed in soceries and witchcraft, and scared oil' the devil anl malignant spirits by incantations and who carried charms and holy water. They had carried their reforms into tbeir own. profession. It was no longer permitted to bleed, to sweat, or give heroic doses of oxides by way of experiment. Every presumption was on the basis of exact science. They had discovered the hitherto unsuspected fact that all disease originated from microbes. Now, what were microbes? They had never been seen only by the aid of glasses of great* power. They were not, animals, possessing ordinary organization of body and parts. They were not spirits and yet possessed of the demoniacal ability to do evil and evil only. Their mission.in the world was to do destruction and misery. Their name were legion. The Greek language was about exhausted to furnish names for theee inlintisimal monsters. They were in the water, in the air, in the earth, every where. No boundry could be set to their awful ravages. They were called germs, but where did the germs come from? The germ always produced after its kind or species, but what produced the germ? Well, it was eelf created. Even evolution failed to explain the phenomena. But the doctors all said that microbes were established facts' and in the medical department of the government of the war they proposed to deal with it on scientific principles and carry on an exterminate war on microbes. The government was called upon and furnished all the aid requiredThere was no end of the appliances to deoderize, to disinfect, to sterilize and immerse. But the officers commanding the microbe forces arose equal to the occasion, and paid no more attention to the prophylactic theories 0' t.ho doctors than they used to do to the incantations of the medicine men or the exorcises of the priest. The government withdrew her troops from the invasion, yet stdl the germs followed. Every camp was condemned. The soil became impregnated, the air was foul, the water impure and the natural habitation of microbes. Nothing was thought to be {immune but beer and milk. One of these moralists has always condemned and the other has been suspected of having cerms of tuberculoses. The cry became like that- of the ancient mariner. "Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink."

The internal commotion consequent from the return of the army from Cuba was greater than the war excitement while it lasted. One camp was abandoned only to impregnate another and the cry of complaint from regiments, from States and whole communities, and the administration that desired much applause for conducting a successful war was in danger of being impeached and condemned, because the doctors employed by the government had signally failed to exterminate the vicious microbe.

My fellow citizens of the middle of the twentieth century have recovered from the delusive fad of our ancestors. We have learned the inevitable fact that whatever is born must die—that the ways and means of death are as various as are the conditions of life, and have been taught to meet the contingencies that threaten life with the healthy, sound rules that are manifest in nature's kingdom, and are not to be led away by the whimsical frailties of a diseased imagination.

Jimmie Freeman, of Clint Kdf fame, was here with a string of horses th week, and was kept busy most of the time shaking hands with old friends.

WANT TO COME HOME.

Ninety PerJCent. of the"158th Boys swr^.r Favor BeingJMustered Out.

Last Saturday [Gov. Mount received the following letter from the men of the l:8th now at Knoxville: "Tliejmembers of this regiment, feeling that a knowledge of their true sentiments on the question of their future disposition is generally desired by their relatives and friends at home, by and with the permission of our commander, Col. Smith, a vote of the one hundred and tifty-eighth regiment was taken thisjmorning as the best method of procuring the aforesaid information the result of which showed 822 men in favor of being mustered out and 146 desiring to remain in the service. Now that the war is over the majority of us, as this vote shows, feel that it is our duty to our families, as well as best to our personal interests, to return to our respective homes. Jn this connection we wish to Btate that during the timo we have been in the service we have been treated with the greatest respect and consideration by our officers, who have always shown the utmost zeal in promoting our comfort and general welfare, and that in justice to them we l'eel it our duty to state that wo have orlythe highest regard and appreciation for them."

Bond Securcd.

After a provoking long struggle of several weeks to secure bondsmen before entering upon his duties as city treasurer, Tood Hills was at last successful, and Saturday last filed it with the proper authority for acceptance. The amount of the'bond isSS0,000. The difficulty with Mr. Hills did not arise from »nv belief of lack of honesty and integrity on his part, as he has alwayB been recognized as a square man in all his transactions, but from the general fear and doubt pervading the minds of many business men regarding the safety in going upon bonds. There have been so many defalcations in various parts of the country by officials handling the public funds that many men hesitate to attach their names to bonds from the belief that they may be some time involved in financial trouble through it. The county treasurer gives a bond of 8300.000, and we opine that the next treasurer elected in this county may have a decidedly interesting time ahead of him. unless unusually lucky, in securing a bond. The following are the bondsmen of the city treasurer: D. T. Hills. H. H. Ristine, J. R. Bonnell Wm_ Johnaon. -John S. Brown. S. C. Kennedy, L. B. McClamrock, WT. M. Reeves, J. J. Inslfv, Milton B. Waugh, George W. Markley. .James R. Rice, A. E. Reynolds, Bvron R. Russell, A. D. Thomas, W. T. Whittington, Ward Walkup, Win. M. Hills, .James Hutchinson, Alex M. Scott, Henry W. Harding.

The Canning Season.

This is the canning season for fruits with most peoplo, and tne demand for glass and tin fruit cans has been very great from groceries and those stores having them for sale,during the past ten days. Peaches, which average in price from 75c to 81.00 per bushel, are being extensively used, and tomatoes, worth 50c. are also being canned in large quantities.

Ex-Mayor. Tom Stilwell has been relegated to private life, and Chas. Elmore is wearing the robes of office,: ,•

Wrongly Accused.

Hill Long, of Ladoga, was in hard luck Sunday. In the morning Bill came up from the capital of Clark township to call on an old "flame," Cora Mullen, who recently came here from Ladoga, and now resides in a fashionable flat near the Monon depot. Of course Cora and Bill cracked a few bottles of beer while talking over old timcB and jU6t had a real good time. After ISill left, however, Cora missed her watch and, woman like, she at once suspicioned her last caller. She notified the police who lost no time in finding William and soon that gentleman was snugly locked up jail. Monday morning the festive Cora called upon May fir Elmore and stated that the whole thing was a mistake, that she had found the watch snugly enscoused in her stocking. Bill was consequently released but was terribly disgusted with the whole proceeding.

Old Soldiers' Reunion.

When we read of an elephant hunter wha has been trampled to death in the wilds of India, we wonder at the foolhardiness of man who will travel round the world and endure all manner of hardships, 111 order tQ court death in a far away jungle. A man' does not have to make a journey to India in order to court death in a maimer equally foolhardy.

Thousands of hard working men are daily courting death in a tnuch more certain form, without ever leaving their native villages or cities. They are the men who neglect their health. They are the men who court death from consumption, or someother deadly disease due to improper or insufficient nourishment. Thj.' matt who suffers from bilious or nervous disorders, who has a weak stomach and an impaired digestion, who has lost the power to eat, rest or sleep, and who tails to take prompt" steps to remedy these conditions, is courting death in the ffuise of some fatal malady Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures 98 per cent, of all cases of bronchial, throat and laryngial affections that lead un to consumption. It soothes the cough facilitates expectoration and restores the lost appetite. It corrects all disorders of the digestion, makes the assimilation of the life-giving elements of the food perfect. It invigorates the liver and purifies and en. riches the blood. It is the great bloodmaker, flesh-builder, nerve tonic and restorative. It is the best of all known medleines for nervous disorders. Dealers sell it and have nothing else "just as good

I had a bad cough aud got so low with it that 1 could not sit up," writes Mrs. Mitiie Grav of New London, Union Co., Ark. "Our familv' physician told my husband that I had consume, tion. I had pams through ray chest and spit um -blood. I took your Golden Medical Discovery® Cad it cured me. It saved my life."
