KIBDNEY COMPLAINT.

1 { g marer o Probale there is no complai t that afflicts the human syttcm. which is 8o little understood at the present time, as some ¢f the varied forms of Kidney Complaints. ¥ : | There is no .disease which canses such acute pain or more alarming in its results than when the kidoeys fail to secrete from the blood the uric acid, and other poisonous substances which the blood accumulates in its circulation ‘through the system. £ o fin If from any cause the kidneys fail to perform the functions devolving npon them, the cumulations are taken up by:the absorbents and the whole system thrown: into a state of disease, causing great pain and suffering, and very often immediate death. Hence the importance of keeping the kidneys and blood:in a healthy condition, through which all the impurities of the, body must pass, i At i ¢ s AT * PAIN IN THE BACK. There is no remedy known to medieal geience which has proved itself more valuable in cases of Kidney Complaints than the Vegrring. It acts directly upon the secretions, cleanses and purifies | the blood, and restores the whole system to heal‘thy acngﬁ.‘ M g 2] : ~ The following extraordinary cure of ‘great suf“ferers, who'bad been given up by tbe best physi--ciaps as hopeless cases, will speak for themselves, and should challenge the most profound attention of the medical facaity. as well as of those who are suffering from Kidney Complaint. | N N THE BEST MEBICINE. East MaRsAFIELD, Aug. 22, 1870, . Mg. STEVENsS: Dear Sir--I am seventy-one years of age; have suffered many years with Kidoey Complaint. weakness in my back and stomach. — [iwas induced by friends to try-your VEGETINE, and I think it the best medicine for weakness of ‘the Kidneys I ever used, I have tried many remedies for this complaint, and never fotuud so rmuch relief as from the VeEGetTine. [l strengthens and invigorates the whole system., Many of my ac} ‘guaintances bayve taken it, and I believe it 1o be good for all the complaints for which it is recommended. Yours truly, { ’ JOSIAH H, SHERMAN. - PRONOUNCED INCURABLE. < 7 BosTon, May 30, 1871. H. R Strevens, Esq.: Dear Sir—l have been badly afflicted with Kidney Complaint for ten years ; have suffered great pain in my back, hips and side, with great difficulty in pussing urine, which was often, and in very small guantities. frequently accompanied with blocd and excruociating pain. s g

I have faithfuolly tried most, of the popular remedies recommended for my complaint; I have been under the treatment of some of the most akgllful physicians in Boston, all of whom precnounced my case incurable. This was my condition when I was advised by a friend to try the VEGETINE, and I conld see the good effects Px,'um the first dose 1 took, and from that moment I 'kept on improvip until I was entirely cured, taking in all, 1 shoulﬁ think, about six bottles. R s

~ Itis indeed a valeable medicine, and if T should be afflicted again in the same way, I wonld give a doltar a dose, .f I conld not get it without. . Respectfully, - J M.GILE, 361 Third Street, South Boston.

NEARLY BLIND.

H. R.- Stevens: Dear Sir—ln expressing my thavks to you for benefits. derived from the nse’ot VEGETINE, and to benefit others, I will state:—

“"Whet eight or mme years oid I was' afflicied with Scrofula, which made its appearance in. my eyes, face and head, and I was very near blind for two years.* All Kinds of operations were perform ed on my eyes, and all tono good result, Finally the discase principally settled-in my .body, imbs ana feet, and at times in an aggravated way. . Last Summer [ was, from some cause, weak in the spive and kidueys. and 1t was at times very hard to retam the urine. Seeing your advertisement in the Commercial, I bought a bottle of Veag-' erlnE, and commenced asing according to directions. In two or three days I obtained relief. After using fov - or five bottles 1 noticed it had a wonderful effect on the rough, scaly blotches on my body and legs. ' I still jused VeGerlng andthe humérous sorer one after another disappeared until they were all gone, and 1 attribute the cure of the two diseases to VEGETINE, and notbing else. If | am ever affected with anything of the kind again I shall try VeGeriNE as the only reliable remedy. Once more accept my thanks, and believe me to be, very respectfully, - AUSTIN PARROTT, Dec. 1, ’72. =No. 85 Gano-st., Cincinnati, O, -

Diseases of the Kidneys Bladder, etc., are always unpleasant, and at times they become the most distressing and danpgerous diseages that can affect the human system. Most dixeases of the Kidney’s arise from imparities in the blood, causing humors which settle on "these parts, VEGETINE excels any known remedy in the world for cleanging and purifying the blood. thereby causing a healthy action to all the organs of the body.

DEBTOR AND CREDITOR.

Two men in New York. They were merchants. e

“What do you think of Carlton’s affairs, Mr. Elder ?”” asked one of them. “I think we shall have a pretty fair percentage. Don’t you®” : : * “Yes, if, we wind him up.”

“That we shall do, of eourse. Why let him go on? It will take him two er three years to get through, if atall?« i : :

#lf he can get through in two or three yéars,‘l shall certainly be in favor of letting him go on. Times have been rather hard and business dull.— But everything looks enceuraging now.” : e :

‘“T don’t believe in extensions, Mr. Highland. The surest way, when a man gets into difficulties, is to wind him up, and secure what you can.— Ten chances to one, if you let him go, you lose every cent.” b ~ “I have granted extensions in several instances, Mr. Elder,” replied his companion, “and obtained, eventually, my whole claim, except in a single cdse.” hFatiy

“It’s always a risk. I go by: the motto, ‘A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,”” returned Elder.— “I.am always ready to take what 1 ‘can get to-day, and never trust to the morrow.: That is my way of doing business.” : ; “But do you think the debtor entitled to some consideration #” ' “How ?” with a look of surprise. “He is a man of like passions with ourselves.” ~

“I don’t know that I understand you exactly, Mr. Hijghland.” =

- “Mr. Carlton lms?a’(,)mestic relations, as weoll ag you and ]: . T [ %

“1 never doubted it. -But what of that ?” ) ey : N “If we break him up.i@iness, the evil will not visit him~alone.— Think of the effect upon his family,”

“In trade we never consider'a man’s family relations.” oo i “But should we not, Mr. Elder? Should we not regard the debtor as a man ?” :

. “As a man who owes. us, and is unable to pay us whatis due; but in no other light,” returned Mr. Elder with a slight curl of the lip. “There we differ widely.” ;

“And will continue to differ, T imagine. Good morning, Mr. Highland.” The two men parted. i

An hour previous, Mr. Carlton, about whom they had been conversing, sat with his family, a wife and three -daughters, -at the breakfast table. He tried to converse in his usual cheerful mannerj but too heavy a weight was - upon his heart. There had come a erisis in his affairs, which he feared would not be passed without ruin to himself. If the effects of his misfortune would not reach beyond his store and counting-room; if upon his head alone would fall the fragments of-a broken fortune, he would not have murmured. But the disaster could not stop there. It would extend even to the sanctuary of home. On the day previous, he had calléd on a few of :hig creditors, and asked of them an extension. If this were not given, it would be impossible for him to keep on.longer than a few weeks, The spirit in which most of the creditors had received the unexpected announcement that he was in difficulties gave him little to hope.— He was to have another interview with them during the day. From that, as it ,would exhibit the result of a night’s reflection upon(gl the minds of his creditors, he would be able to see clearly his- chances of being sustained in business. He awaited the hour with nervous anxiety.— ‘When it arrived, and the few creditors called in had assembled, he saw little in their faces to give him hope. The first who spoke -out plainly was Elder. |

“I, gentlemen,” he said, firmly, “am opposed to all extensions. If a man cannot pay as he goes, I think he had better wind up.” o o * “If all do not agree in this matter, it will be no use to attempt extending Mr. Carlton’s time,” remarkeéd one of the creditors, who thought and felt as did Elder, but was not willing to come outsoplainly. « e :

“That is true,” said a third.. “A partial extension will be of no use.” The heart of poor Carlton almost ceased to beat. g

“Have you any objection to retiring for a few minutes?” said Mr. Highland to the debtor. .

“I will withdraw, certainly,” returned Mr. Carlton, and left the room.

“My own view, gentlemen,” said Mr. Highland, *is, that we ought/to grant all that is asked. Mr. Carlton’s business is good, and he will get over his present diﬁicgljty;s easily, if we only assist him a lit%(e. - We should be just, as -man toward man; and- this ;I ido not think we should be in this case unless we consider Carlton as well as ourselves.” He is an honest man, and an honest man in difficulties 1s always entitled to consideration.” i

“This is all‘very well. But when a man gives his note payable at a certain day, he ought to be very sure that he will be able to take it yp. Creditors are entitled to some. consideration, as well as debtors. The cry of ‘poor debtor’ is soon r&fsefl,‘ but who, 1 wonder, thinks of the poor creditor ? I, for one, am not prepared to extend.” . This was said by Elder, = °

“As for me,” spoke up another, “I take but one view of matters like this, If I think I will do better by renew‘ing, I am ready to do su; if, by wind:ing up the gwarty now, I can do better Igo for winding up. I have confis

dence in Carlton’s ' integrity. I Dbelieve he means well: But can ke get through ? that is the question.” : “T believe he can,” said Mr. Highland. ; 4 /

“And I doubt it,” returned Elder. The efforts of Elder to efface the impression the words of Mr.- Highland bad made proved-in vain. It was agreed that the debtor should receive the extension he asked. When informed of this decision, ' Carlton could not hide his:emotions, though he strove hard to do so. . His grateful acknowledgements for the favor granted touched more than:one heart that had been cold as ice toward h?i‘En a short time before. How different were his feelings when he met his family - that evening, and silently thanked Heaven that the cloud which had hovered over, and threatened to break in desolating tempest, had passed from the sky. \ L

Long before the arrival of the time for. which an extension had been granted, Mr. Carlton was able to pay off everything, and to!look in the face, without unpleasant emotions, every man he met. i Strange things happen in real life, Mr. Eider was a 'shipper, and extensively engaged in trade. For a series of years everything went on prosperously with -him. His ventures always found a\sgood_ market, and his consignments ‘safe and energetic factors. All this he .attributed to his own business acuamen. -

.“] never make bad shipments,” he would sometimes say. “I never consign to doubtful agents.” i A man. like Mr. Elder 18 rarely permitted to go through life without a practical conviction that he is in the hand of One who gpverns. all events. It is rarely that such a one does not become painfully conscious, in the end, that human prudence is as nothing.” . The first thing that occurred to check the ceonfident spirit of Mr. Elder was'the loss of a ship and cargo, under circumstances that gave the underwriters a fair plea for not paying the risk. He sued and was cast. The loss was $25.000. .

A few weeks after, news came that a shipment to the South American ‘¢oast had resulted in a loss. From that time everything seemed to go wrong. IHis adventures found a glutted market, and his return' cargoes a depression of | prices. If he held on to a thing in the hopj:s of better rates, prices would go down, until, in-a desperate mood, he would sell; then they would go up steadily. The time was when he could confine himself strictly to legitimate trade, but a mania for speculation now took hold of him and urged him on to ruin. He even ventured into the bewildering precincts of the stock market, lared by the hope of splendid resuits. | lere he stood upon ground that soon crumbled beneath his feet. A loss of $20,000 or $30,000 cured: him of this folly, -and. he tumedk‘ with a sigh to his countingroom, to digest,;with care and prudent forethoughts, some safe operation in his regular business. | ; But the true balance of his mind was lost. He could not. consider with calmness the. business in hand. A false move was the consequence.— Loss instead of profit was thé unfortunate resulf. e

Seven years from the day Mr. Elder opposed an arrangement with Mr. Carltop. whieh' should regard ‘the debtor as well as the creditor, he himself found .it inpossible to provide for all his hesvy payments. For someé; time he had kept his head above water by making sacrifices, but the end of this-came \‘ :

* After a sleepless night the merchant started e¢ne morning for his store, oppressed with the sad convietion that before the day closed his fair fame, would be tarnished. As he walked along, Mr. Carlton came to his side, with a cheerful salutation. Mr. C. was now a large creditor, instead of a debtor. On that very ‘day, Dbills' in his favpr had matured to the amount of $5,000, and these Elder could not pay. The recolection of this made it almost impossible for him to reply to the pleasant observations of this companion. Vividly, as if it had occurred yesterday, came up before his mind the circumstances that had transpired a few years previously.— He remembered how eagerly he had sought, from the merest selfish motives, to break down Mr. Carlton, and throw him helpless upon the world, and how near:le was.to accomplish ing the merchant’s total overthrow. Such recollections drove from his mind the hope that for a moment had presented itself of enlisting Mr. Carlton’s good feelings, and securing him as a friendin tle trial through which he was about to pass. :

- Several times during the walk he was on the poiatiof breaking the matter to Mr. C., but either his heart failed him, or his zompanion made some remark to whizh he was compelled to reply. At lenygth they separated, without any allusion by Mr. Elder to the subject on which he was so desirous of speaking. He had not the courage to utcer the first word. But this was only postponing for a very brief period the evil day. Several remittapces were anxiously looked for that morning. He broke the sealing, lecter after letter, with trembling anxiety. Alas! the mail brought him no aid. His last hope was gone. Nothing now. remained for him but to turn his face bravely to the threatening storm, and bear up against its fury. | - ! : ; For a while he debated the question as to what course was best for him to pursue. At one time he thought of giving no information” ef his condition, until the notary’s protest should, startle them from their ignorance.— Then he thought it would be best to notity the holder of paper due on that day, that it would not be taken up.— Then it seemed to him best to give notice of his condition. Ie prepared brief notes to all, but Mr. Carlton first. His heart failed him when he attempted to write his name. Vividly,ias if it had oceurred but the day prévious, came up before his mind all the circumstances attendant upon that gentlemah’s appeal to his creditors. His cheek burned when he remembered the position he had assumed in that affair. _ 5

- But, even though such were his feelings, when he came to’ dispatch the notes he had prepared he could only find courage to send the one. written to Mr. Carlton. ' The other creditors, whose bills had matured that day, he thought he would go and see; but half an hour passed without his acting upon the resolution to do 80. Most of the day was spent in walking uneasily the- floor of his counting-room, or in examining certain aceounts in his ledger, or entries in his bill-book. He was bending, all! absorbed, over a page of calculations at his desk, .when some one, who had entered unperceived, pronounced his name. He tiufrned quick--Iy, and looked Mr. Carlton in the face. The color mounted instantly to the temples of Mr. Elder. He tried to speak, but could not. .- . “Yeour note has taken me altogether by surprise,” said Mr. Carlton; *but I'hope things are not so bad as you suppose.” . v P

- Mr. Elder shook his head. He tried to speak, but could nof. “How much have you to pay today ?” asked Mr. Carlton. =

“Ten thousand dollars,”. was the reply, in a husky voice. - . o - “How much have you toward it?” “Not two thousand,” - Gl _ “How much falls due fto-morrow 2” “Four thousand.” . ‘ “How much in a month?” =~ “Fifty thousand.” ° : . “What will be your available.re'sources ?” e : ¢ “Not half the amount.” . - “Haven't you good bills 2”7 "' “Yes; but not negotiable.” I Mr. Carlton mused for some time. At length he said: “You must not lie over to-day.”

“I cannot help it.” L (4lf you will transfer to me, as. security in case you have to stop payment, the bills of which you speak, I will lend you the amount you want torday.” | o The color retired from the cheeksof Mr. Elder, and then came back with a quick flush. He made ho answer, but looked steadily and findoubtingly into Mr. Carlton’s face. i

“I have been in difficulties myself, and I know how to sympathize with others,” said the latter. - “We should aid if we can, not breik down a fel-low-merchant ‘when in trouble. Indorse bills to my order for the sum you want, and I will fill up a check for the amount.” e 5

Eldér turned'slowly to his desk, and took therefrom siindry notes of hand in 'his favor, at various dates from six to twelve months, and indorsed them payable to Carlton, who immemediately gave him a check for $B,OOO, and left the store.

A clerk was instantly dispatched to the bank, and- then Mr. Elder sank into a chair, half stupefied. Ie could hardly believe his senses until the canceled notes were .?laced- in’ his hands, - L .

On ‘the next morning, Mr. Elder went to his place of business, with feelings but little less troubled than they had been on the day béfore. HjS payments were lighter, but his meahs were for the first time exhausted\— The best he ¢ould do would be to box--Tow, but he already owed: hezvily fo\ borrowed money, and was not certain that to- go further was practicable.— He thought of Mr. Carlton, but every feeling: of his heart forbade him to seek further aid from him. | R

.. “I deserve no consideration there, and I cannot ask it,” he murmured, as he pursued his way toward his store. The first thing that caught his eye on ontering the counting-room was a pile af ship letters. There had DBeen an errival from Valparaiso. Ie broke the seal of the first one he took up, with eagerness. = “Thank God!” was his almost immediate exclamation. It was from one of his Captains and con-’ tained drafts for $15,000. It also informed him that the ship Sarah, commanded by said Captain, would sail for home in a week, with a return cargo of hides and specie ‘amounting to $30,000. The voyage had been protitable beyond expectation. : Elder had just finished reading the letter, when 'Mr. Carlton came in. Seizingthe Kind-hearted merchant by thé hand, and pressing it hard, he said with emotion: ek S

“Carlton, you have saved me!' Ah! sir, this wouid be to me a far happier moment if, seven years ago, when you were in trouble, T had so- generously aided you.” ' # " “Let the past sleep inipeace,” said Mr. Carlton. | “If fortune has smiled again, permit me to rejoice with you, as I do with all who are blessed with favoring gales. To meet with difficulties is of use to us. It gives us power of sympathy with others, and that gift we should desire, for it is a good thing to lift the burden from shoulders bent down with too heavy a weight, and throw sunlight over a heart shaded with gloom.” Mr. Elder recovered from his crippled condition in the course of a few months. Ile was never again known to oppress a suffering debtor. ¢ -

The idea seems now to be perfectly practicable—unless unforseen difficulties present themselves—of establishing telegraphic stations in mid-ocean, by which messages may be sent from any part of the sea along the line of the cable to the terminal points on shore, and vice verse, so that commudication with iron-clads, mail steamers, and other vessels, when out at sea, may be established. The plan consists in having a hollow sectional column, with a base pldte attached by a ball and socket/ joint, the column being lowered into'the water and anchored rigidly to the ground; this branch cable is coupled to the main cable, and carried along the column to the surfuace of the water, to be there connected with instruments on board vessels.

. MR. TILDENS HOME. ; How the Bachelor Governor Lives in His Gramercy-Park Residence. . . | |From the New York Herald.] i Coming from Fourth avenue, and walking along Twentieth street, you naturally notice a row of wide, hand‘some, imposing, broad stone houses,. with extensive bay windows, which add to their prefentious appearance. The first of these is the house of Governor Tilden. Even at its threshold you meet the evidences of his practical, precise bent of mind. From a large shining brass plate on the hand-. somely-carved door theé name of §amuel J.-Tilden stares you broadly igthe face. Mr. Tilden’s neighbors~are too exclusive to thus digplay their names, but he is too exact, too particular to mislead his fellow-citizens who are in’ search of him, and with that sense of: order and completeness which is innate in him he is careful not :to leave his house without the designation of its. occapant’s name. . Let us enter, and take/all our readers along (‘iﬁutl us upoi a vist to our next Presi-: ent.: :

| [Thering of the bell is always answered by a map servant—either by the imposing butler, to whom ' refer‘ence was made yesterday, and who looks like a church warden or a bish‘op'in his tremendous dignity and ex_quisite attire, or by a younger lackey, who is also good looking and fashion< able enough for a Fifth avenue beau. Both these functionaries are much more elaborately attired than Governor Tilden, whose dress, while neat. and natty, almost to old maidish serupulousness, is always simplicity itself. One quality of these functionaries: “which at once ingratiates them in the visitor’s heart, is their candor. If you ask: “Is Gov. Tilden in?” thereis no “T’ll ‘see’” or “I "don’t know” about them, but with praiseworthy candor, they either inform you’ that he is in or that he is not, and if he is, they will freely and frankly let you know whether the Governor iis willing -or unwilling toisee you. ¥ o * The hall is wide and high, and the coatrack is invariably strewn with coats and ' hats—for when could youl ever call at Gov. Tilden’s house with-ut-finding a host of visitors? To the ' right is the parlor, which is spacious, ~and the.- furniture of which, if not rich or sumptuous, is certainly tastefuland elegant. The carpet, although of expensive fabrie, is not nearly so gorgeous as in the houses of most wealthy shoddyites, and .there is' a general air of elegant simplicity about the whole. The chairs are large, easy, cosey, and the table and book-case. soon woo your presence by their stores of magnificent art publications. The vases, the bric-a-brack, the minor ornaments, are all. in keeping with the simplicity of the furniture. The woodwork is very fine, not only in the parlor, but about the whole house. ; - Back of the parlor is a middle room, which is usually not open, and then we come upon the dining-room in- the rear, which is very spacious, extending, as it does, the whole width of the house. Here Governor Tilden entertains nearly every day -a party of his friends at dinner. Governor Tilden’ still adheres to the old-fashioned custom of dining in the middle of the day, and taking a simple “tea” in the evening for supper. "In the southeast corner of the room there is now a telegraphic apparatus, and here the Gov. | may be seen all day receiving the ﬁ/ery latest information from Mr. Hewitt -and Colonel Pelton, at the | Everett House committee, rooms, with which Governor Tilden stands thus in instantaneous and easy communication. While *one of the Gov= ernor’s personal secretaries—generally | Mr. Smith—operates the instrument, the Governor stands patiently by, or paces the floor until the result .is announced. ’ : :

~ Upstairs are the Governor’s study, his bedreoms, and also Colonel Pelton’s apartments and those of his mother, Mrs. Pelton, the Governor’s sister, an amiable lady, well known in New York society, who presides over the Governolr’s mansion, :and who will also be the mistress of the White House when Governor Tilden takes hissseat. It will thus be seen. that Governor Tilden’s is, after all, not d thorough bachelor’s 1 establishment. His numerous relatives, who often visit him and his sister, explain the fact that often when the writer has been there he has heard the merry sound of children’s laughter and play. The Governor himself is fond of company, and nearly ‘all the distinguished democratic politicians of the day have drank his rare Johannisberger (on which he greatly prides himself as a real wine connoisseur) at his hospitable board.

GENERAL WADE HAMPTON'S " RECORD. :

Interesting Letter from . S.

Sehator Gordon,

The Hon. John B.:Gordon, United States Senator from Georgia, in a letter to the New York T'ribune,corrects the ‘misrepresentations of a correspondent of that-paper in regard to Gen. Hampton and the white people of South Carolina. ,He denies, as

charged by this correspondent, that Gen .‘Hamptpn was a f‘ﬁt_'e.-eater of fireeaters.” ~ On the contrary, Senator -Gordon shaews that he was one of the few men in South Carolina who op‘posed to the very iast commiitting the destinies of his State to secession. He -was notoriously an antagonisy of that movement; . spoke and voted in the ‘South Carolina Senate against: the ordinance of - secession, and has been universal!_y I"efcc‘)g.nized since the war as one of the most moderate men ih ‘any Southern State. He was also the first Southern man after the war to advocate the citizenship of the colored race. Mr. Gordon also asserts’ from npersonal observation thatimore order--Iy, peaceful political meetings| were never held in any State of the Union than those being held by Gen, Hampton, and contends that whatever may ‘have been the mistakes, the follies, or ‘even the: isolated crimes ofja few individuals, it will ._scarcely'vbe denied that the people of South Carolina have ‘exhibited a spirit of most commendable -forbearance, under provocations'| most. harassing, financial dist’ressgs ‘most poignant, and political wrong most jintolerable, at the ‘hands of a State Governme‘nj;_ the worst perhaps that has ever been imposed upon any people in civilized or barbaric history. Mr. Gordon concludes' his letter by drawing -the following contrast between Georgia and South Carolina: .~ “No people were ever so misunder- | stood as the.people of these Southern States. - Nothing could be more foreign to their purpose, more averse,to their sentiments, nor more in co?_nd{-ct with their interest, than the oppression- of the colored race, upon whose good behavior -and labor their peace and prosperity depend. It is to them most ‘strange that they are charged with so suicidal a policy, even if they were, as. republican leaders affect to believe,. lost to-every impulse of hu- | manity. . - It is to them mosf strange that the respective conditions of Georgia and South Carolina, with nothingbut the narrow .Savannah ,bet¥een ! them, should be no vindication.of the |, Southern people -andno evidence of the unwisdom of forcing upon States by- Federal intervention rulers:wh have'no local interests outside'of thg offices they hold. - The credit of South Carolina is ruined, her taxes are confiscatory, her institutions of learning: a by-word-and. reproach, her' population in never-ceasing broil; while the bonds of Georgia are nearly on a par | with- United States securities; her | taxes scarcely-appreciable; her colored institutions of learning supported by State . contributions and in 4 most flourishing. condition,. with absolute peace, harmony and good will bet ween tire . raees ‘' reigning . undisturbed throughout-her borders. - There is not one right .conferred upon the white man by the State of Georgia which is ‘not equally secured to the black man. The annual appropriation made to the colored college in the city of Atlanta; the 50,000 colored ¢hildren in our public schools, while that race pdys but. -one ‘fiftietl of the taxation; the rapidly increasing. property, both real and personal, in'the hands of black: ‘men; the almost partial justice shown them in contests with white men before our: courts; the freedom from disturbance, restrainf, or intimidation at election, are facts which can be established on the -testimony of fairminded black'and white republicans in this. State, verified by any unprejudiced Republican from the North who will visit us, and’ should be potential in- silencing the partisan appeals to the North for unnecessary protection to'the colored, and unnatural animosity to the white race’ . @ 24

Eating and Dyspepsia. ) It has been an old German adage that mone pooplo-dig 'blxvixfiuvhivsuwm with teeth than with spades, and verily it would seem go, if you would, look-at the immense number<of dyspepties, rheumatie and gouty individ-/ uals, creeping through life in pain and wretehedness. Yot it is difficult to induce even thinking people to control their appetites. and to eat such things and at such times as- nature shows them fis necessary and. right.; Dr. Hall declares ‘unhesitatingly that it isjwrong to eat without an appetites for it shows there is no gastric juice-in the stomach, and that nature does not need food, and, not needing it, there being no fluid to reeeive and act upon it, it remains thére only to putrify, the very thought of which ought' to-'be sufficient to deter any man from eating without an appetite the remainder of his life. If a tonic is taken to whet the appetite, it is a mistaken course, for its only result is ‘to cause one to.eat more when already an amount has - been eaten beyond what the gastric juice is able to prepare. The object to be obtained is a large supply of gastric juice; whatever fails to accomplish. that essential ‘object, fails -to have any efficacy towards the cure of dyspeptic diseases.

- THE CANVASS, L i |~ Whatever may be the result 6f the last election, the Ft. Wayne Sentinel remarks, the National Democracy can have no regrets over the manner in which they have conducted the canvass. The Tilden campaign has been briltiant, aggressive and forcible, The ‘necessity for reform has been present‘ed ably and tﬁuthfully by hundreds of orators and‘thousands of newspapers. The way to feform was set forth in the .St. Louis platform, and in the admirable letters of Goy. Tilden and Gov. Hendricks. The rottenness and corruption of the Federal Administration and the hopelessness of. any improvement, 50 long as the republir can party remains in power, have beer;’ _conelusively shown. The wrongs and outrages of the South have been related, and the reason, and the judgment on the consciences of the people ‘have been appealed. to. . i The Radicals, on the contrary, have/ appealed solely to the prejudices and the passions of the people. They have ‘preached the gospel of 'hate as opposed to the doctrine of peace and recon- ' ciliation. They have assailed individual characters, assaulted the mational credit, and exhibited atotal disregard and contfmpt for the publi¢ good in their efforts to gain partisan advantaggs, i %

‘These ate the lines of argument and appeal pursued by'the two great parties. If the voters were all logical, reasoning, ?a,lm men, the Democrats would doqlgtlgsg ‘haye swept everything before them.. But it should be remembered that the prejudices and the passions and the fears of mankind | are more easily worked upon than their judgments and their consciences. Few men, before they vote, reason out - ‘the issues in their own minds; if they _ «did, there would be less difficulty in prognostigating t;]}é results of elec- > ti_ODS, .:’ : 3‘l y . £ It should also be remembéred that the Republicans have had at their disposal all the machinery of the govjernment, all the power of the public ‘patronage, all the resources of tle national treasury, all the influeiice of the administration. These jmeans lhave been shamelessiy used by as unscrupulous a lot of tricksters -and scalawags as ever-cursed the Ameri_can people. Zach Chandler, Simon and Don Cameron, Geo. E. Spencer, - Jno. A. Logan, J. N, Tyner, and Ben Butler are wholly without consgien--tious scruples about anything, and » have hesitated at nothing to secure the election of Hayes. ' Without the backing of the administration and-the . officeholders,the Radicals could scarcely have made a showing of a canvass. ~ As it is, all of the signs indicate their defeat. : : o

An Escape From Scrubbing Floors, A lady writer, in one‘of her letters to the Christian Weekly,tells how she succeeded in obviating almost entirely the drudgery of scrubbing. She says she proeured from a druggist three quarts of linseed |oil and the same amount of shellac varnish. Also a paint brush. This quantity of material will eover as much floor asthirty yards _oii;arpet, and costs only $3.50. The floors were cleaned as thoroughly as possible, and all spots that will not wash off ought to be planed off: We put on the first coat of oil in the evening, and the next morning it was %y. The following evening we put on a coat of shellac varnish, which was dry by mdorning. Then after two or three days we put on the final coat of oil, but as the wood will absorb but very ittle oil this time, we put it on with a flannel,'and rub it in as thoroughly as possible. It was soon'dry and ready for use. A Now we have beautified floors, easily kept clean by wiping off the dust with cold water. Oncé in three or six months we can go over them with a little of the boiled oil,and have} them look as well as-ever again. Such'floors would rob “cleaning time” of half its terrors, and add largely to the purity ef the atmgsphere‘ of aur houses already poisonéd by air-tight stoves and furnaces. It is a cheap rcform and easily tried. =

. Why we Use Qur. Right Hand. The habit ot using the right hand in preference to the left among -those" people :whose monuments date frpm the remotest aEtiquity, appears to be a universal fact, and this is accounted | for by the anatomical mechanism of . ‘the human body. It -is known that the right lung, liver lobe, and llimbs exceed in size those of the left side, involving, of course, a greater amount of tissue structure and a larger supply of nerves and blovd-vessels for their nutrition. - A person walking in a dense fog figures with his feev the segm’e?xt of a circle, and, if he is righthanded, he takes a direction to the . left, because the right leg naturally takes a longer st?ide. {The left side - ok bho brain ul&xm‘nx' thas tho wigly and, as it appeavs ‘that the power of verbal articulationiin the ngutuana- ° ed 'is ¢onfined to a certain convolution on the left side, the conclusion is arrived at that, in speaking and thinking, -the left side of the brain is used, this being the regult of dextral education.

An Unanswerable Argument. The strongest- argument ‘which gan be urged against the advisability of adminisfering such corrosive and netve-destroying poisons 'as arsenic and quinine for intermittent and remittent fevers, is the vastly superior success in the prevention and cure of such diseases of 'a medicine which is the very antipode of the above named drugs, both in respect of its compesition and the results wrought by it. Such a medicine is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a purely vegetable preparation, which not only eradicates with wonderful promptitude every tracel of fever and ague, and kindred types of malarious gdis'eases, from the system, but is a certain pre: ventive of all maladies begotten of miasma-tainted air and water. These results mineral anti-febrile remedies ‘do not effect with certainty, and thﬁéiﬁ continued use entails consequences- : h(;ghly;‘pefnfuiougotoz the system.
