I "PHUBSDAY, L)El\ 2J 1887. tnrrra T> A TftPT? way l«o fncrcd on FLLN nt OKV TiliO IT AJTr&JV WJj- 11 -■•'-• I TIIK DAY TIIE WORLD LOOKED FOIUVAUDTO. , We are now fa9t approaching the eve 1 'of that day to which the world *f old looked forward and now looks back to j —the anniversary of the birth of the Sa- , viour of uiankiud, commonly called i Christmas. While every nation has its holidays, there is one day wtiieh is re cognized through all Christendom, for ] while some consider Christmas in the liehtofaholy commemoration of the birth of Christ, otheis keep it as a cheer ful social festival. In this way every , one may be sail! to distinguish this day i by devotion, by vacation from business, and by merriment. Though the exact year of the nativity of Christ cannot be demonstrated, critics of all schools arc i vergiug more and more to the acceptance of 4 yean Bo fore Christ (that is of what , is called the Christian era) as tho prob- I able time of his birth. It has beeu a common tradition that Christ was born about the middle of the night. The cusj torn of the Roman Catholic Church of i ushering in Christmas day by the cele bration of three masses, one at midnight, the second at early dawn lud the third in the morning, is also observed by a portion of the Episcopal Church in hav ing three high celebrations of the Com munion at this time, tho first at mid- | nijht, tho second at early morn and the third in tho morning. This observance has rcfereuce to Christ's seeoud coming in allusion to which St. Mark hath writ ten: "Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when tho master of the house cometh, I at even, or at midnight, or at the cock crowing, or in the morning." In closing our juurnalisMie labor for the waning year, tha thought crowds itself upon our mind ns we sit by the cheeiful Ore that there is ono Cbristuia* the less between the living and the dead. I THE WORD DEMOCRACY. It is to liu hoped that the Deinoerat ic party will no bills that invade tho prerogatives of the States, that gi\e a wide latitude to constitutional con- | ■trueliun md theory, that savor of class | legislation, or that iucicase the power of the Federal Government at the expense j of State Governments. They ought to be true to their party name-Demo-j erats— a government of the people and j by the people and for the people— ilcmos, j the people and krnleo to govern, to rule.—Wilmington Slur. How many of the leading politicians know that the origin of the word Democ racy may be traced as far W.ick as tho age ot Homer, the greutest of > ho Greek poets, who lived sometime botwenn 1000 j and 800 before Christ. Wo remember; tbat the word, or expression, occurs in bis Iliad though tho sentiment in this connection does not inculcate an ap preciation for a republican form of gov ernment, for he says, Demou kralos ka kom esti, which being literally translated means, The government of the people (Democracy) is bad.

I live in the midst of the malarial 1 is- I tricts of Maryland, near the city of Washington, awl am exposed to *ll the ! 1 dangerous influences of the impure air and water of that legion. Being naturally of a strong consti tution, 1 had frequently boasted that j no chills and fever or other malarious complaint would ever trouble me. This was my experience and the con- i dition iu which i found myself six months ago. I first noticed that I did ■ot feel so sprightly and vigorous as »as my wont to do. 1 felt tired and enervated. Soon I noticed a distinct and distressing back ache would make its appearance in the afternoon, in creasing in severity if the exercise was more than usually violent. Then a stretchy feeling with profuse gaping made its appearance. Then my head, always clear as a bell, would feel heavy j and I began to have headache*. The cold stage was marked with clut tering of the teeth, severe rigors passed over me, and no amount of clothing could keep The chill was succeeded in turn by the fever,, in which I seemed to be burning up, the con gestion in uiy head produced a violent pain in the frontal portion .tnd a heat etl sensation of the eyelids, with an in desrribablc aching of the lower limbs. Nausea and vomiting occurred with severe retchings, and when the parox ysms passed off 1 was thoroughly pros trated bv a weakness that nas felt in every part of me. I drugged myself with quinine, and obtained some relief. But my respite was of brief duration. 1 was now so much reduced that I could hardly walk or stand upright. My disease soon | culminated in a continued malarial fe ver which kept me clotcly confiiw»«l for ibout a week. I became exceedingly lepressed and melancholy, so much so hat I lost interest in my work, and, ndeed, scarcely eared wlmt happened to me. During all this time, it must be un der stood that I did not neglect inedioai treatment. All the most powerful remedies were tried, such as isquid ar senate itf potish, raleriatae of iron, mercury, bromide of poUasi'im, chlo- I ride of bscntath, chinoidiiw, chincbooi j Jia, qtiioin* and several others.

II was wtitle I »u in this dei»lorel(k , condition that tht claim* nvvde for Kaskine, tKe new quinine, as a specific for malaria, were first brought to tnv : .mention. 1 knew nothing of its value to jttstify iny having any confidence in it, but as everything els- had failed I deemed it my duty to try it, so I began its use, and its j>rompt and radical ef fects were of thr? nature of a revelation to me. Many people may think the statement scarcely credible, but it is a ' ! fact that after only a few days' me of Kaskine all the leading symptoms in my case were decidedly abated or ceased altogether; and in a few weeks irom the time I took.the first dose 1 was cured. This was about the first of January, and since then I have experienced no recurrence of the maiaii.il symptoms in any form. A remedy of such ex ceptional virtue for the cure of malaria ought to be commended and univer sally made known. 1 have therefore urged it U|>on the attention of my friends, several of * horn have used it with like good results in every case, and it is with the greatest pleasure ' and sincerity that I commend Kaskine j to sufferers from malaria everywhere. ; Respectfully yours, i J.
