February.

“I would not live always, I ask no 1 to stay,” but while you do stay try and be comfortable and enjoy life as much as possible. Looked at in this, light and life will begin to grow sweet. As long as man lives he will be troubled with his Luugs, Throat, and in fact his whole body. But if it is your lungs, a bad cold, a hard cough, incipient Consumption, you can get a bottle of Dr. Marshall’s Lung Syrup for 25 cents, 50 cents and $1 a bottle, Which wo think will cure you. We

have the agency.

"That we regard the effort of the Republican partisans who are poisoning the minds of the negros of the Southern States against the white people of their section, and by means of false teaching inducing ihem to remove trom the climate and home of their birth to Northern States, as a great public and private wrong.”—Kendricks Club Resolution. , That the minds of the colored people of the South have been “poisoned,” there can be no doubt; but Southern Democrats did it themselves. There are a variety of mefrns in which the poison is introduced. Sometimes a score of wholesoled Southrons, with a high and mighty contempt for the sordid greed of Yankees, and a national reputation for “hospitality,” ride up to the cabin of a colored man who is suspected of political meddling,and invite him into the swamp to be poisoned. Securely tying the aspiring politilion to the trunk of a cypress tree, these hospitable Southrons take the lash in turn and proceed to poison him under the shirt-tail. The victim naturally thinks it is "old pizen.” If the “bull's dose” is not sufficient, the African mind is poisoned by stringing it up by the neck. Lead poisoning is also very effective, the lead being introduced by subcutaneous injection in the favorite Southern manner, per shot-gun. The judicious firing of a platoon of the “hospitable” Southern gentlemen into an obnoxious cabin sometimes results in the poisoning of an entire neighborhood, every individual of whom is taken down with the pernicious emigration fever. In no section are the toxicological properties of the whip, the rope, and the shot gun so thoroughly understood as in the Sunny South, where the jessamine blooms and the straying zephyrs are laden with fragrance rifled from magnolia blossoms—the favored land where “every prospect pleases, and man alone is vile.”— Indianapolis Journal.
