A short time 0 the Memphis Ara

thatthe'oame of Jefferson David would be
presented to the Mississippi Legislature
as a candidate for the United States
Senate. Mr. 11. A. Bonner, editor of the
Panola Star, addressed Mr. Davis a
private letter, enclosing vthe paragraph
and calling his attention to it. Mr. Davis's
reply contains theee words: 'You may
contradict it positively and by author

tion of matrimony, which was organized
two years ago, and has had the support of
good people. Its president is a member of
the City Council, and all the other officers
weremenof local prominence. Over 2,
000 have joined, and there are branches in
forty citi' S. ixt month a picnic will be
given in commemoration of the second an.

occasion it is expected thero will be over a
hundred couples publicly joined in matri

auspices of the King of Belgium and the
honorary presidency of the Court of Flan

tj discuss the latest advances in the
knowledge of Amirican ethnology, phil

everything appertaining to America that
is of interest to mankind. 2iew light is
expected to be thrown open the discov

Fittsburg is one of the blackest of cities
by reason of the sxuokejfroiu its manufac

promises to make it clean. The proposi

it done by passing the smoke through the
spray caused by paddle-wheels revolviug in
a tank of water holdirg soda ash in solu"
tion. The tank and wheels are placed in
the Cue between the furnace and the
chimney and the wheels being, made to
levolve in the direction of the chimneyf

ter being thus treated will not soil a white
handkerchief.
Railroad managers have generally car
ried theatrical and other show com
panies at about two-thirds the ordinary
rates; but the Philadelphia and - several
other lints have announced that here
after no redactions will be made. This is
a serious matter for show men, inasmuch
as nearly all the theatre amusements
throughout the country are to bo pro
vided next svtason by travelling organiza
tions. Last year there were 12 dramatic
sad musical migratory companies and
at a low figure the railroads were paid
over $700,000. One manager - declares
that the railroais and hotels received
nearly all the money that was taken in
the show business.
A system of irsuraace fr girls has ex
utcd for several generations acocg the
Danish notiiity of Copenhagen. A noble
man, upon the birth of a daughter, en
rolls her carce with the insurance society,
paying at the time a fee, and subsequent
ly an annnualsura, until ehe reaches 21.
She then becomes entitled to a fixed in
come, from the society, and to apartments
la the large building of the association,
which is surrounded by gardens and "a
park. Should her father die in her child
hood, she may immedla'ely occupy the
apartments if she so desires. Should
she die or curry, the income and the
right to a home both lapse. The plan is
Tory advantageous for women leading a
single life.

Evidently somebody in the Cape Fear
section is put out with j Got. Jarvis
North Carolina railway policy. It soems
hrd to please everybody, but that com
mtinicatioa in thellKviEW is so full of an
irtus and prejudice that it requires only
an ordinary rni-'d see through it. "We
may fiud time to notice5 it brreafrer; in
the meantime we would respectfully sue
ni sttn our (lip lVr ' friends that this
Hht fir 74 North Carolina policy of rail
reading, if successful, can . only prove
teneGcial to Wilmington, notwithstand
ing the fact that the present . aim is to
make Newbern and Beaufort an entrepot
(jt freights that nw find outlet at Nor
folk and- Richmond, and not at Wilming
ton. The comments of Brol James on
the communication surprise us even more.
Surely, our respected cotemporary is on
the wrong track. But a' few months ago
Goldfbr.ro, and the 'Mtxaenger fought
tide by side with Wilmington ugaiust the.
Hamlet connection, and in favor of Wil
mington. It seems ungenerous, not to
say pelfish, to so nooti forget this. But
more anon! Goldsboro Messenger.
i
As we are determined net to lay our
selves opn again to jthe charge of being
"ungenerous" and selfish," we do here
what Bro. Bonltz,' in his , gene rosily and
unselfishness forgot to do for us-we pub
lish entire what he has had to say. We
have said nothing ab uit Goldsboro, eitLur
for or against it , nor have! we utteied one
word that can jastify tbi interfeience ot
the 3wn.7er. We merely took up the
cudgels tor our own citv and our own fec-
listi, as again! the iw j ist di-c.iniination
made aainsi us by our own Governor,
and ia favor of a foreign corporation, and
we are prepared to fight it out ou that
line, not furglting, however, what is due
toot'iers as well as to ourselves.
We have always held an unusually high
regard for our neighbor of the Masstnger,
holding, most justly, thai he has rendered
services tohis party and hie Mate that can
not be too freely acknow ledged or too
frankly recognized, and we cannot believe
that he would rashly enter upon the de)
tense of a system which1 is sure to injure
our section of the State to the j ossible and
merely prospective j benefit of another,
could he under tana thoroughly the facte
of the case. That he! does not under
stand them is illaiii when he saysithat
"this fight for a North Carolina policy
of railroading, if successful, cam only
prove beneficial to j Wilmington, notwith
standing the fact that the present aim is
to make New hern aud Beaufortj an entre
pot for freights that now fiud outlet at
Nerfolk aud Richmond and not at Wil
mington. Our friend forgets two m
portant facts, which are that the A. & N.
C. management do tot take charge of the
It. & D. It. It. but that the li. & JL. It.
E. takes possession of the A. & L C. R.
JR. and that Richmond, is the headquart
ers and controlling point of the opera.
tions of the Richmond & Danville Road.
There is no guarantee, so fir as we can
learn, that a line bf steamers is to be es
tablished to ply1 regularly between Beau
fort, or Morehead City, and New York.
The New York and Vllmington steam
ers touched last Summer at Morehead
and that will probably prove the pro
gramme for this summer. Why should
the Richmond and Danville R. R. carry
freight from Goldsboro, I for instance, to
New ber n or Morehead, a distance, -we
believe, of less than one j hundred miles,
and then give it up to the steamship line
when they can themselves carry it all of
the way around to Greeasboro and thence
to Richmond over their, own line, getting
their rates for the entire distance? It is not
generally known. : but it is
a
fact
nevertheless that Mr. W. F. Clvde is a
I,
part owner of the R. & D. R. R. and! if
steamers are put on at Morehead it is,
therefore, fair to presume that they will be
Mr.Clyde's steamers and noi those which
the R. & D. R. R. may purchase or char'
ter. We venture the prediction, and the
Messenger will pleace "make a note ou
it," that it will be J long time before there
wil! be a line of steamers .plying regular
ly between Morehead and iNTew York, and
that if ever such a thing dees occur it will
not be while the R. & D. R. R. remains
in charge ofthe affairs of the A. & N. C.
a
R.R.
A iid evec wero a line of steamer put
on at Morehead and frvight carried
from Greeiifcboro and Charlotte there for
thipmeot we cannot aee bow Goldsboro
will be benefitted thereby. In that case,
and probably in auy jcade, tinder the
V- i D. R. K management, Goldsboro
will become bet a way station(with trains
running through from .Charlotte to More
head. It U possible that the Messenger
may live to see the daj when Goldsboro
as well as Wilmington may be classed as
sold out utMarthis new mucallel vorth
Carolina policy.?' j
As to the communication, to 'which the
Jlrtsenger refer as so .full of "animus
and pxejudice," the author of it is
well able to take care of ! himielf in a
controrersy of this kind and' therefore
we do not feel called upon to reply in his
behalf.

COMFORT.
It would-seem tbat.notwithstauding the
reports which chronicled a splendid recep
tion to Air. Uayes on his recent Fourtb
of July visit to Old Point Comfort, tbsre
wert sroe rather painful drawbacks to the
heartine ol the ovation. He was the
ant of u Git;i, th ommaudaut of
the p-t aii.l, ! rujijinf, trie military
wre bouu'l to Hcrord him the honors di e
to the DoMltcn ho occuDled. the waine a
...
if he h t d the motft nerlfct ri'ht. bv the
voic of th people, to the 'Presidential
chair. But there were civilians present,
who felt under no such obligation, and
who were not restrained by the strict rules
of military etiquette, that took advan
tage of the occasion to show their proper
appreciation of the man and. manner in
which e holds office.- To explain we
quote from the Portsmouth IXmes, which
says: '
"We understand that the fraudulent
Presidtxit was greeted ou his landing at
old Point ou the 4th. with three cheers
for Samuel J TiUen, President elect of
the United Siatea. Ibis was a good saiu
taiiou lor the man who holds the greatest
.mV in thrt United States by the grandest
fraud tne w'oild ever witnessed."
Probably no man ever has occupied the
Presidential chair who has been so thor
oughly and deserved ly abused as the pres
ent incumbent, aud if his official hide was
not as thick as that of a rhinocerous, he
would r joice it the day when he shall put
his ba.k up ni the White House forever.
Instead of this, however, he is working
with might aud main to secure a renomi
nation. This may be from a desire to oc
cupy th chair one term after having been
legally and duly elected to the same
though we are inclined to the opinion that
he would not object to again 'holding the
oilice under the same tenure as that by
whnh he now draws the salary justly be
longing to Samuel J. Tilden. ,He has
Iweu nominated a fraud, and a more right,
eous and deserving Appellation was never
applied. ' ,

The Courier-Journal says: "No man
in America has a sweeter, gentler, more
womanish nature than Lamar. He is a
dreamer, a poet. He was long a college
professor. Just enough of active, pracn
tical experience, as a soldier and as a
traveller, he has had to give him some
what of the knowledge of a politician aud
a man of the world. But he makes a
poor figure in either character, he is a
statesman and philosopher a man of
profound convictions and owes his great
place in popular esteem to his genius,
sustained by physical and moral courage
of so high an order that hie enemies re-
i
meet him. All men. who know him at
all, know him to be incapable of premed
itated discourtesy or effensive. Known
to be a tearless man, he never had a diffi
culty or altercation in his life; and noth
in? abort of the intolerable insolence of
Mr. Conkling could have stung him into
the kind of rejoinder which he made."

AXOrEX LETTEK TO THE PUBLIC
BelieTing that br cleansing the blood and
building up the constitution was the only true
vrv of bani ting dineae and bein troubled
with wakne8a of the lungs, catarrh, very
much broken down in constitution, &o , and
after trying the b-t physicians and f aying
out my money tor mty kiDds of medicines
advertised without boding a permanent cure,
I b gan doctoring myself, using medicines
inae from roots and herbs. I fortunately
discovered a wonderful bitters or Blood
Cleaneer'.the firt-t bottle of which gave me new
life and ttigor, and in time effected a perma
nent cure. I was free from catarrh, my lungs
became strong and sound, beiog able to stasd
the taost severe cold and exposure, and 1 have
gained over thirty pounds in weight. Feel
ing confident that I had made a wonderful
discove-y in medicine, prepared a jquantity
ol the Root hitters, and ws in the habit of
giving them away to sickifnerdd and neigh
bors. I found tbe medjeirje effected the most
wonderful cures of all diieafes ctu9ed from
humors or sdrof in the blood, Imprudence,
Bad Stomach, Weakness, Kidney Disease,
Torpid luver," Ac, c. The news of my
discovery iri this wy spread from ODe person
to another until I found' myself called upon
to supply j patients with meaicif e tar and
wide, and, t was induced to establish a labor
atory for dompounding and bojttliDg the Root
Bitters in large quantities, and I now d .vote
all my time to this business. I
I was at first backward in presenting eimer
myself or discovery in this way to tht$ pabi!c.
not being a patent mediciiie man and wito
small capital, but I am getting bravely over
that. Since I first Advertisa tbis nieicin-
I have been crowded witn orders from drug
gists and country dealers, and the hundreds
of letters I haye received from persons cured,
prove the fact that no remedy ever did so
much good in so short a time and bad so much
success as the Root Bitters. In fact, I am
convinced that they will soon itake the lead
or all other medicines in use. Aea.-ly one
hundred retail druggists, right here at home
in Cleveland, now sell Root Bitters, some of
whom have already sold over one thousand
bottles. . ' J ,
Root I fitters are strictly a medical prepar
ation, such as was used in the good old days
of our forefathers, when people w re cured
by some ; simple root or plant, and when
calomel and other poisons ,"of the ' mineral
kingdom were unknown. ' I

bone and tissue from the head to the feet,
cleansing and strengthening the fountain
pringsjf life, hence they mfftt reach all
diseases by purification and nourishment.
No matter what your feelings or symptoms
are, what the disease or ailment is, use Root
Bitters. Don't wait until you are sick, but
if you only feel bad or i miserable, use the
Bitters at once. It may save your life..
Thousands of persons in all pans of the
country are already using Root Bitters.
They have saved many lives of consumtives
who had been given up byj friends and physi
cians to die, and have permanently cured
many old chronic cases of Catarrh, Scrofula,
Rheumatism, Dyspepsia, and Skin Diseases,
where all other treatments had failed. Are
you troubled with sick headache, costiveness,
dizziness, weakness, bad taste in the mouth,
nervousness, and broken down in constitution?
Tou will be cured if you take Root Bitters.
Have you humors and pimples on your face
or skiii? Nothing will give you such good
health, strength, and beauty as Root Bit
ters. i
Sg, I know that jealous physicians will
cry humbug because my discovery cores so
many of their patients, b t I care not. It is
