Others are about half sick all the time. They have headache, backache, and are restless and nervous. Food does not taste good, and the digestion is poor; the skin is dry and sallow and disfigured with pimples or eruptions; sleep brings no rest and work is a burden. What is the cause of all this? Impure blood. And the remedy? It clears out the channels through which poisons are carried from the body. When all impurities are removed from the blood nature takes right hold : and completes the cure. If there is constipation, take Ayer's Pills. They awaken the - drowsy action of the liver; they : cure biliousness. Write to our Dodcp. W e have the exclusive service of iiutMf tun most rinintMit physicians in . tin- I lilted Static.

And out of the mist and murk Another truth shines plain; It is in my power each day and hour lo add to its joy or pain. I know that the earth exists; It is none of my business why. I cannot rind out what it's all a'bout; 1 would but waste time to try. My life is a brief, brief thing, I am here but a little And while I stay I would like, if I may, lo brighten and better the place. The trouble, I think, with us all, Is the lack of a high conceit; If each man thought he was sent to this spot lo make it nior suni't How soon would he gladden the world, How easily right all wrong; If nobody shirked and each one worked -to neip ins tellows along. Cease wondering wiry you came oiop looKing tor taults and Haws; Rise up to-day in your pride and say "I am wart of the Vrt (lnnt f'-nwo However full the world. I here is room for an honest man; It had need of me or I would not be: 1 am here to strengthen the plan.'' Ella Wheelek Wilcox. Selfishness and Manners. Any attempt to teach o;ood man ners by a rule and precept without impressing upon the character prin ciples of rirht and kindliness must necessarily fail, or result in a mere imitation of the manners that one seeks to produce. Some precepts and rules are required because socie ty is artificial in its construction and the best of men may not know how t)conc?uct themselves according to the rules laid down by custom. They wul not o very far wron, however, if they are actuated by riht senti ments and right principles. Men who are truly considerate and polite, though they lack the graces of culti vated society, are sometimes called rough diamonds, and the title gives exact expression to their good quali ties and their faults. They have within them the quali ties which by a little polish would make them shine. They are just, kindly and considerate, and there fore are deserving of more respect than men with a better outward show of good manners who lack these essential qualities. They may not uncover in the presence of ladies; they may do many boorish things repugnant to polite people, but if they show a disposition to be just, demanding no more than they are willing to accord to others; if they are kindly, seeking to help those who are weaker than themselves, as wo men, children and old people; if they are considerate and exhibit a fine sense of the feelings of other people, they can easily be taught the simple forms by which society tries to ex press these qualities of the mind. It is not enough to teach the rules of polite society; when they are ob served they give us nothing more than symbols, the meaning of which should be understood and felt. All the customs of polite society govern ing the conduct of men toward women are symbolical representa tions of the customs and deeds of the days of chivalry. There is now no occasion for any one to put lance in rest to rescue unhappy maidens from the grasp of a tyrant, but the chivalric feeling should survive, lead ing every true man to respect women and to protect them from the minor ills that may beset them. It is per haps better to be polite and well mannered as a mere matter of form than not to be polite at all, but it is better still to be polite because one is inspired by chivalric sentiment and the disposition to be considerate and kindly. The boorish man who is rendered impolite by his selfish nature, can not be made agreeable even when he has been taught by rote how to be have himself when in the company of other people. His acquired good manners will disappear when he is put to a real test such as he will meet when his own desires come in conflict with the desires of other people. Put him in a crowd, he will elbow his way to the front without regard to the equal rights of other people. He may be able to behave himself according to the customs of of society when dining at leisure with a small compan3-, but if his good manners have been acquired as a matter of form, having no substan tial basis in character, he will exhibit his boorishness when invited to a hurried lunch with a great number of companions. Sometimes the boors will not yield precedence to ladies, though the force of custom is such that even selfish men are obliged to respect it ou ali ordinary occasions. But their true nature reveals itself when they are called upon to make substantial sacrifices for the sake of a sentiment. Little can be done for the correction of these habits in men of mature years. Their manners, good or bad, have been formed and cannot be readily changed. Thv H'8t lu the World. We believe Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best in the world. A few weeks asro we suffered with a severe cold and a troublesome cough, and hav-1 ing read their advertisements in our j own and other papers we purchased a j bottle to see if it would effect us. It cured us before the bottle was more' than half used. It is the best medicine out for colds and coughs. The Herald, ' Andersoiiville, Ind. For side by M. E. ' Robinson & Bro., J. II.

Malus pejor pessimus bad, worse, worst. I remember that much Latin. Some days we are opti mists and look on the bright side and think the war is about over and the millenium will begin with the new century. Then again the news is bad and we are obliged to be pessi mists until it changes. I am a pes simist right now, for everything looks dark and - gloomy abroad, though the genial spring sun is shining and everything is lovely at home. What is all this about one hundred thousand more men wanted to subdue the Filipinos and our sol diers saying they didn't enlist to fight negroes; and what about the Samoans ambushing our boys and cutting their heuus off and parading them through the streets; and what about a rupture with Germany while our navy is all engaged over there in those far distant islands? If Germany is fighting mad, what bet ter opportunity does she want than to turn her navy loose upon us right now .' and how do we know that Johhny Bull would help us. And then again there seems to be no real peace in Porto Rico, for their late papers says : "We observe with sorrow that the United States troops are a mass of base and shameless people, a drunken multitude who daily buffet and maltreat our suffer ing people. They rob our servants as they go to market; they enter our restaurants and take what they want by force and then break up the crockery; they rob the peddlers and refuse to pay the cabmen and steal everything in sight; they insult our women like savagesj and to complain to headquarters is like barking at the moon. If this is our destiny, would that we could sink this fair island in the depths of the sea." Another paper says : "Our people are daily insulted by these ruffians, and we have not the patience of Job nor the meekness of the Man of Calvary to bear these things without retaliating." Another paper says: "We suffered much under the Span iards, but our liberators are com mitting greater offenses and oppres sions than did our former masters, and we cannot submit quietly to this new tyranny. Never before has there occurred in Ponce such out rages as are happening to day. There is safety nowhere, and our ladies are at times exposed to the insults of drunken soldiers." How is that for the American soldier, the brave patriots whom we laud in song and story ? Nor do we have to go to Porto Rico to find them. Only a few days ago a New Jersey regiment was mustered out at Greenville, S. C, and immediately began their devilment and their journey home was a reign of terror. A negro writes to me and wants to know wherein the colored troops were worse than the whites. What is the matter with this gen eration, white and black? What is the matter at Pana, and why can't the two races work together' in peace? What is the matter at Weathersford, Conn., and why won't the white people there let the negroes build a home for old and invalid negroes? Carrie Steele, a colored good Samaritan, projected a similar home for negro orphans in Atlanta and the whites bade her godspeed and subscribed liberally and helped her, and it is doing a good work that is commended by all our people. Have the yankees forgotten what they fought for, or pretended to fight us for? And besides all these things there are more fires and awful casual ties and drownings and suicides and murders than ever before known in so brief a time, and it is enough to make a hopeful man almost despair of peace and good will ever return ing to this atllicted land. This is why I am a pessimist to-day, but I live in hope and maybe I will be an optimist next week. Hope is a blessed thing. The first composition I ever heard read in school was writ ten by a tall, freckled -face, red headed girl and it was on "Hope," and the first sentence was: "Hope is a good invention, and if it were not for hope man would die and woman would give up the ship." "Not only so, but also," said Jim Alexander, aud George Lester whis pered a part of his speech : 'Hope for a season bade the world fare well, And Freedom shrieked when Kosciusko fell." And Rennely Butler quoted a line from his speech: "Hope springs eternal in the human breast." And I had to lift up my voice, of course, as I repeated : ''Twas ever thus in childhood's hour, I've seen my fondest hopes decay." We smart boys had power of fun over that red-headed composition, and it is still a proverb among us that "Hope is a good invention." Ancl so we will not utterly despair but live in hope. I worked in the garden yesterday, for it was a bless ed day. I have been sick. My back ached and my left kidney was on a ! boom and my legs were on a strike ! and wouldent carry one with alacri-' ty, but work in the garden got me all in a sweat of perspiration and I feel better. My wife said I would, and she knows. She has got but two laws for me. One is, I must work in the garden if I am well, and the other is I must be well. The war doesent bother me while I am at work, but I hoe and dig and ponder while I dig. I am perplexed right now about a mysterious force of nature that I do not understand. It is the lifting power of little tender plants. I never have understood how it is that the pea or a bean or a potato patch or an okra seed can crack the cloddy ground and lift the clods and part them and find a way upward. These little tender shoots that will bend and break at the touch can lift a weight of pounds, and I am satisfied that there is some mysterious force that helps them do some electric influence that ema nates from the plant some dynamic power. What farmer has not won dered that a shooting grain of corn could upheave and split asunder a clod that he could hardly break with his horny hands. Then, again what a preservative is our mother earth. How safely it keeps the roots of vegetation from frosts and freezes and zero cold. We had sixty-six rose bushes, all of choice varieties, and have taken a world of comfort in their beautiful flowers, but this last winter they were all killed killed dead to the ground, and I cut them down and found no sign of life. It made us all sad and I wrote about it, and a good man, a florist, of Chambersburg, Pa., Mr. William B. Reed, read my letter, and Surprised me by sending sixty six new plants of the best varieties, and I planted them carefully between the dead ones and they are springing up beautifully, and now, lo and be hold, the old ones are sending up strong and vigorous shoots from near the surface and most of them are above the budded joints. So if all of them live and grow, there will be a wilderness of roses, and we can take our choice. I am ready to cer tify that Mr. Reed is a great big hearted man. And now Mr. R. lv. Robertson, of Chickamauga, has sent me 200 strawberry plants. Lady Thompson and Louise and Gandy varieties. All are fine, and the Gandys are especially wanted, for they are a very late variety and bear bountifully after all other kiuds have passed away for the season. I'll bet he is a good man, too, and my wife makes it a rule to believe that every body is good who is good to us. So now let the war go on. It is none of my doings. For a good while I was in hopes that McKinley & Co., who let slip the dogs of war for political purposes, would see their mistake and call off the dogs, but most of the preachers tell them that it is God's will and manifest destiny and that the doors to the heathen must be opened and be kept open. And so we common folks can't do anything. I heard preachers talk that way for war thirty-seven 3-ears ago and we thought they had the Urim and Chummin in their breeches pockets, but they dident. One thing is certain. This war has done the nation no good morally or financially, and it has lowered our respect for the army and for military affairs in general, and army beef in particular. When our boys once get out of it they will be apt to stay out and if we have to send 100,000 more troops to fight niggers in the Philippines they will not go from this part of the country certain. Bill Arp. P. S. In my last I did not say that the Virginia editor was hypo critical. No, I would not be so dis respectful. I wrote very plainly that he was hyper-critical. Your typo changed it. B. A. Courage. Courage is the bright and shining virtue of heroes. The person who can conquer a crisis is of more use than a pontoon bridge to a retreat ing army. Don't be cast down by any circumstances but death, and keep even that at bay as long as possible. There is no such word as defeat to the brave, and the test of bravery lies more in trifles than in threatening of grave import. It takes "more sand" to stand against "little foxes" always in evidences than against tigers in the jungle. We may never be called upon to visit the jungle, but the viues that lure the foxes hang thick in every life. If 3'ou have got the love and taste of drink in j-our mouth, it will dog you and hound you through life, and your only safety is, renounce drink a! together. Remarkable Cure of Kheumatlim. Kexxa, Jackson Co., W. Va. About three years ago my wife had an attack of rheumatism which confined her to her bed for over a month and rendered her unable to walk a step without assistance, her limbs being swollen to double their normal size. Mr. S. Maddox insisted on my using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I purchased a lifty-cent bottle ami used it according to the directions and the next morning she walked to breakfast without assist ance in any manner, and.she has not had a similar attack since. A.

C, the jury was unable to agree after being out 23 hours up to 10:43 o'clock Saturday morning. The case goes over to the next term of court for re trial. The South Carolina State Supreme Court on Wednesday filed a decision which means that the law against lynching will be strictly carried out, especially that clause which provides that the estate of the party lynched shall get $2,000 from the county in which he resided. In the presence of nearly 2,000 peo ple, who sent aloft yells of defiance and shouts of joy, Samuel Hose, a negro, was burned at the stake in a public road, one and one-half miles from Newnan, Ga., Sunday afternoon, for the murder of Alfred Cranford and a criminal assault on his victim's widow. The body of Miss Pearl Knott was found in Flint river near Woolsey, Ga., Monday, weighted down with plowshares, axes and trace chains and a bullet hole was discernable between the eyes. George W.

The Kai'sor-Hausmann Bank at Palermo, Italy, suspended payment Monday, with a deficit of 2,000,000 lire. It is reported that the German cruiser Gefion has been ordered to Apia, Samoa, and that another Ger man warship is to follow her. A split has occurred in the Euro pean junta of the Filipinos, a major ity of the members favoring negotia tions leading to peace with the Uni ted States. Lieut. J. C. Gil more and fourteen men from the cruiser York town have been captured by the Filipinos at Baler, Luzon, where the cruiser went in an effort to relieve a Spanish gar rison. Two hundred Filipinos attacked the American outposts near Tagnig, Luzon, Friday, and were repulsed after several hours fighting, leaving twelve dead on the field. The Filipi nos are building new intrenchments north and west of Malolos. National Capital Matters. From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, April 23th, 1890. The McKinleyites are jubilant be cause their bluff intended to drive Czar Reed out of Congress has suc ceeded, and Reed has accepted an of fer to join a New York law firm. This means a new deal all around in the House and a general shaking up of the desirable chairmanships, many of which were held in the last House by men who were no more subser vient to the admistration than Reed himself was. All this will be changed in the organization of the present House, if present plans of adminis tration can be carried out, and no man will get anything desirable in the way of a chairmanship who does not wear the McKinley collar. There are about a dozen republicans who consider themselves candidates for Speaker of the House; but they are wasting their time. The Speaker and all the important chairmanships of committees will be selected by Boss HannaandMr. McKtnley and all the republican caucus will have to do will be to ratify the selections. There will, of course, be republican objec tion to this programme, but without a stronger leadership than it is like ly to have, it will not be able to change it. A friend of Mr. Reed says that he intends as a farewell shot at the administration to take a hand in the election of his successor. If he only would, there would be a lively scrap, but as his law firm is to make a specialty of corporation pratice his partners will doubtless be able to convince him that he can not afford to offend such an influ ential corporation magnate as Mark Hanna. The talk about deposing Chairman Jones of the Democratic National Committee because of his extreme silver views is "tommyrot" of the worst kind. Chairman Jones has represented a majority of the com mittee, and still does; but his health is in such condition he is now at Atlantic City, slowly recovering from his recent serious illness that his physicians have told him that it will be risking death for him to attempt to do the amount of work he had been doing up to the time he was taken sick. This being the situation, Senator Jones' retirement from the position of chairman of the com mittee was easy to predict, but it was very small business to try to make it appear that he was to be forced out because he was not this or that, and is calculated to cause a man like Senator Jones to take the bit in his teeth, regardless of his health or the orders of the doctors, and re tain the chairmanship until the demo cratic candidate for President, in accordance with custom, names his successor. Should Senator Jones die under the strain, those who ori ginated the stories mentioned would be as surely murderers as though they had administered poison to him. Hon. Bartlett Tripp, the American member of the Samoan Commission, which will leave San Francisco to day on the auxiliary cruiser Badger, doesn't regard the trip as anything more than a pleasant summer ex cursion. He said before leaving Washington: "I do not believe it will take any extended period for the representatives of the three governments interested to agree on some policy that will be satisfactory to all. There are no insurmountable difficulties in the way of an under standing that will protect every body: It isn't as though the mastery of a continent was involved; the comparative smallness of the inter ests at Apia is a pretty sure guaran ty against trouble of a serious sort." There is more interest in the result of the Commission's investigation of the charge that German treachery was responsible for the ambuscading of American and English marines than in anything else it has to do. Nobody seems to care a continental what the Commisson does about the goverment of the Samoan islands. A sharp reprimand to the military censor at Manila was sent by the War Department, because he allow ed remarks of Gen. Lawton about 100,000 men being needed in the Philippines to be cabled to this coun try; it is said-that Gen. Shafter al so got a hint from the same source that he was doing too much talking about his belief that it would be nec essary to kill off half of the Filipinos before we could keep peace on the islands. Mr. McKinley has decided that it would be bad politics to call for.more volunteers to be sent to the Philip pines, and has ordered that the vol unteers now over there shall be sent home as fast as vessels to bring them are available. Regulars will be sent to take their places, as it is not con sidered safe to reduce the number of men under the command of Gen. Otis, even during the rainy season, soon to begin. There was quite a shock in Wash ington when Admiral Dewey report ed that Lieutenant Gilmore and four teen of the crew of the Yorktown had been, while away from the ship ou a launch, either killed or captured by the Filipinos. Washington is the home of Lieutenant Gilmore and Lis I wife is now residing here. ALL OVER THE STATE. A Summary of Current Events for the Past Seven Days.
