CURED
wrtAT is
SCROFULA
It Is that Impurity la tta blood, whlcn, ac
cumulating In the glands of the neck, pro
duces unsightly lumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
logs, or feet; which developes ulcers In the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blfndness or
deafness; which Is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifes ta
ctions usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
' (fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death, Being the most ancient, it Is the
most general of all diseases or affections, for'
very few persons are entirely free from it.
How Can
It Bo
By taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures It has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven Itself to be a potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some of these
cures are really wonderful. If you suffer from
scrofula, be sure to try Hood's Sarsaparilla.
My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof
ulous sore neck from the time she was 22 months
eld till she became six years of age. Lumps
formed In ber neck, and one of them after
growing to the size of a pigeon's egg, became
a running sore for over three years. We gave
her Hood's Sarsaparilla, when the lump and
all Indications of scrofula entirely . dis
appeared, and now she seems to be a healthy
child." J. S.CABLiL?,Nauright,N. J.

sonny South. "The swings
and arrers of put sajtis for
tdn," alluded to by Hamlick,
warn't nothin in comparison
to my troubles. I come
pesky' near swearing some
profane oaths more'n onct,
but I hope I didn't do it, for I've promist
she whose name shall be nameless (ex
cept that her initiaje is Betsy J.) that Til
jine the Meetin House at Baldinsville,
jest as soon as I can scrape money enufE
together so I can 'ford to be piuss in
good stile, like my welthy nabers. But
if Fm confisticated agin I'm fraid I shall
continner on in my present benited state
for sum time.
I figgered conspicyously in many
thrillin scenes in my tower from Mont-
gomry to my humsted, and on sevril
occasions I thought "the grate komick
paper" wouldn't be enriched no more
with my lubrications. Arter biddin adoo
to Jefferson D. I started for, the depot. I
saw a nigger sittin on a fence a-playin
on a banjo. "My Afnkan Brother," sed
I, coting from a Track I onct red, "you
belong to-a very interestin race. Your
masters is goin to war excloosively on
your account,"
"Yes, boss," he replied, "an I wish
'em honorable graves," and he went on
playin the banjo, larfin all over and
openin his mouth wide enuff to drive in
an old fashioned 2 wheeled chaise.
The train of cars in which I was to
trust my wallerable life waa the scaliest,
rickytiest lookin lot of consarns that I
ever saw on wheels afore. "What time
does this string of second hand coffins
leave?" I inquired of the depot master.
He sed direckly, and I went in & sot
down. I hadn't mor'n fairly squatted
afore a dark 'looMn man with a swinis-
ter expression onto his countenance en
tered the cars, and looking very sharp
at me, he axed what was my principles?
"Secesh!" I answered. "I'm a Disso
luter. I'm in favor of Jeff Davis, Bowre-
gard, Pickens, Capt. Kidd, Bloobeard,
Munro Edards, the devil, Mrs. Cunning
ham and all the rest of 'em."
"You're in favor of the war?"
"Certingly. By all means. I'm in
favor of this war and also of the next
war for over sixteen years!"
I've bin in favor of the next war. .
"War to the knifel" sed the man.
"Bind, Eargo, Bludr sed I, tho them
words isn't orrigernal with me.
We got under way at larst, an' pro

of speed which is ginrally obsarved by

weref a Jittle Sesesh flag pin'd onto her
hat, and she "was a"goin for to see her
true love, who had jined the Southern
army, all so bold and gay. So she told
me. She was chilly, and I offered her
my blanket.
''Father livurf" I axed,
"Yes sir."
"Got any Uncles?"
"A heap. Uncle Thomas is ded, tho.
"Peace to Uncle Thomas' ashes, and
uccess to him! I will be your Uncle
Thomas! Lean on me, my pretty Secesh-
er, and linger in JBlissful repose!" She
slept as secoorly as in her own housen.
At the first station a troop of Sojers
entered tho cars and inquired if "Old
Wax Works" was on bored. That was
the disrespectiv stile in which they re
ferred to me. "Becawz if Old Wax
Works is on bored," sez a . man with a
face like a double brested lobster,
"we're going to hang Old Wax Worksl"

Thii ws satisf actry and the intosai

and said she must get out there. I bid
her a kind adoo and give her some per

We then vilently bunted our heads to-
much exhaustid and didn't care about
gittin up agin, but the man said he reck
oned I'd better, and 1 .conclooded I
would. He pulled me up, but I hadn't
bin on my feet more'n two seconds afore
the ground flew up and hit me in the
hed. The crowd sed it was high old
sport, but 1 couldn't zackly see. where
the lafture come in. I riz and we" emJ
braced agin. We careered madly to a
steep bank, when I got the upper hands
of my antagonist and threw him into
the raveen. j He fell about forty ieet,
itriking a grindstone pretty hard. , I
understood he was injured. I haven't
heard from the grindstone.
A man in a cockt hat cum up and sed
he felt as though a apology was doo me.
There was a mistake. The "crowd had
taken me for1 another man! I told him
not to mention it, and axed him if his
wife and little ones was so as to be about,
and got on bored the train, which had
stopped at that station "20 minits for re
freshments."; I got all I wantid. It was
the hartiest meal I ever et. '
I was rid on a rail the next day, a
bunch of blazin fire crackers bein tied
to my coat tales. It was a fine spectycal
in a dramatic pint of view, but I didn't
eniovit. I had other adventures of a
startlin kind, but why continner? Why
lasserate the Public Boozum with these
here things? Suffysit to say I got across
Mason & Dixie's, line safe at last.
I made tracks for my humsted, but
she to whom I'm harnist for life failed
to recognize, in ' the emashiated bein
who stood before her, the gushin youth
of forty-six summers who had left her
only a few months "afore." But I went
into the pantry, and brought out a cer-
tin black bottle. Raism it to my lips, I
sed, "Here'3 to you, old gal!" -1 did it,
so natral that she knowed me at once.
"Those form! Them voice! That nat
ral stile of doin things! 'Tis he!" she
cried, and rushed into my arms. It was
too much for her & she fell into a swoon.
I cum very near swoundin myself.

The Organization of the People's Party,
and Home Reflection About the Fa-
tare of Politics.
Mr.-W. G. Cooper, a favorite cor
respondent of the Atlanta Constitu
tion, attended the Convention at
Cincinnati that organized the Peo
pled Party, and wired daily letters
to the Constitution which were full
of interest. The following letter writ
by him on the train after the Con
vention will prove interesting.
It is evident that the rhovement
started by the Cincinnati Convention
is one of much greater importance
than men of the two older parties
are willing to admit.
Since the noise has subsided, every
one can see that ' it was a western
convention but that does not make it
conclusive that , the contagion will
not spread. "The truth ia that the 1
leaven of discontent is abroad in all J
pans of the land. Beginning with
the great strike of 1877 and the mob
that burned the Pittsburg jail, the
agitation of tbe dissatisfied elements
of society has contained until now
starting with the workingmen, who
were the firot to organize, it at last
reached and permeated the great
agricultural masses. ..They were the
last to move. With them there was
greater inertia to be overcome, for
they were anchored to the soil, that
conservator of the peace ; but when
at last they did move the momentum
was overwhelming. They saw in the
increasing load of debt and mortgages
the possibility if not the probability
of losing the land by which they had
so long patiently abided, and when
that frightful apparition appeared,
conservatism was thrown to tne
winds, and every man became a rev
olutionist, ready to" strike out on a
new line. Men die by their homes,
and the prospect of losing the home
made the masses desperate. '
STARTING OF THE MOVEMENT.
Seeing this, the sullen, dissatisfied
laboring men seized thier opportuni
ty. At St. Louis two years ago they
formed a confederation with the far
mers.. We have thought that this
upheaval was only a manifestation
of the restlessness of one class ; that
it was the country against the town
simply, and that by the operation of
those laws of mutual dependence on
which Bociety is organized the move
ment would soon wear itself out. This
is not the true .diagnosis. Discontent
reigns in town and country. The
masses, urban and rural, are in mo
tion; we hear, hoarse mutterings as
when deep calleth unto deep. Astute
politicians have scented it from afar
and seek to take the lead, as vultures
fly upon a high and stormy gale.
The cry is no longer that of the
country against the town, that was
of necessity a shallow and short lived
issue; it is a deeper and more omi
nous sound that we now hear, "the
plain people against the aristocracy.'

the situation all the more serious.
The old feeling against the aristocra
cy pure and simple, was not so strong,
yet it produced the French revolu
tion. There is something respectable
in an aristocracy founded on a heri
tage of great deeds and public service;
and this, so Jong as it holds patriot
ism, the masses : will suffer but
when aristocracy is based on wealth,
too often ill-gotten, and on the vul
gar show of great establishments,
the masses are first sickened and then
enraged. This is the condition of
affairs today, not only in America,
but all over the civilized world.' The
greatest statesmen see it . and are
trying to rule the storm. Mr. Glad
stone, in the new platform which he
puts forth this year, advances far in
to socialism. The Emperor of Ger
many is trying to steal .the thunder
of the socialists as Bismarck did be

rapidly in the same - direction, and
wherever you see public men of great
capacity, they are trying to appease
the - masses with measures which
would have been scouted a few years
ago. It is so in. our own country.

assemble next' winter, "Will,. force
measures wliich the Republicans will

Keeded an Inspiration -:
A merchant had a clerical friend,
between whom and himself there ex"
isted a warm Intimacy, 6ays a writer
in the New England Magazine... Every '
Saturday night, as the merchant was
balancing bis cash, there would come .'
a note from the minister requesting
the loan of a $5 bilL The money waa
always restored punctually on Mon-
day morning. But what puzzled the
lender waa the identical bill was al
ways returned.
On Saturday night he sent a f 5
gold piece instead of the usual bill,
and marked it. Still tho very same
coin was returned on Monday. The
merchant became nervous about this
strange fact. He was becoming con
sumed with curiosity, when a note
came from the reverend borrower on
Christmas Eve asking for a Joan- of
$10. He resolved to call and inquire
into the mystery, when he was shown
into his friend's study he fouud. him
plunged in melancholy.
"Air. Bowersox," said the merchant. w
"if you will answer me one question
I will let you have that $10. How
does it happen that you always pay
me the money you borrow on Satur
day night in the very same coin or
note on Monday."
The parson raised his head, and
after a struggle said : , .
"My friend, you are a gentleman,
a Christian, and a New Yorker I
know that lean rely on your in
violable secrecy. You know that I ,
am poor, and when on Saturday
night I have bought my Sunday. din
ner I seldom have a red cent left in
my pocket. Now I maintain that no
man can preach the Gospel properly
without having something in his
pocket to inspire him with confi
deuce.
"I have, therefore, borrowed $5 of
you every Saturday . night that L
might feel it occasionally as I preach
ed on Sunday. You know how in
dependent I do preach how 1 make
the rich quake in their shoes 1 Well,
it is owing to my knowledge that I
have a five-dollar bill in" my pocket.
Not having to use it for any other
purpose, it is hot changed, but re
turned, to you next Monday. But
tomorrow I want to make a special
impression on my congregation, and
I thought I would see what th effect
of a ton-dollar sermon on them would
be.
Ten Million Dimes Locked Up.
Philadelphia Record.
A Treasury official, speaking of tho
embarrassments the dime pocket
savings banks are causing the Treas
ury Department, is quoted as saying
that iC is 'estimated that there are
$1,000,000 in dimes hidden away in
these pocket banks to-day, and there
appears to be no way to draw upon
this reserve until the bank is glutted
to its f nil capacity. It is getting to
be a craze.
"I wa3 coming down the other day
on a horse car," he said "and an old
lady pulled one of these toy deposi
tories out of her black silk handbag
and cautiously slipped two dime
into its mouth, the exact change she
had received from the conductor.
Ordinarily this ancient female would
haye paid her fare in tickets, but 6he
had the craze and wanted tbe change.
Why, every other woman in the
building has a bank, and lots of tbe
men, too. There are a thousand dime
banks in active operation in the de
partment alone, and thousands in
the other departments, and ten thou
sand more in the hands ef Washing
ton children, and every one of them
has a wide-open mouth yawnine to
devour the fractional coin."
It is estimated that 75 per Cent, of
the dimes that were in circulation
three months ago in the city have
been banked in these little . tubular
depositories, and the cry is for more
The craze has affected the cities,
too. Baltimore, New York, Phila
delphia, and other commercial towns
are sorely put to for change of this
unit of value. .This demand is giving
the bank cashiers aud Sub Treasurers
a great deal of worry, for it requires
three expert clerks a whole day to
count $10,000 in this sort of money.

Artificial Grief.
New York Ledger.
Within the memory of the oldest
inhabitant it was considered an es -sential
part of the etiquette of fash
ionable funerals to appear to weep.
Each "mourner" was expected to.
carry in the hand a white pocket
handkerchief and to apply it to the
eyes more or less frequently the in
terval between the dabs being regu
lated by the degree of relationship or
of friendship which had existed be
tween the uncousolable and the de
ceased. This bit of hypocrisy has
happily been dispensed with by the
mourning fashionista. It Is no long
er deemed . indispensable to indicate
to the world that what Hamlet calls
"fruitful-river of the eye," -is in a
state of freshet by hoisting the while .
flag of affliction at a buriaL
Nothing can be more fallacious
than. the outward symbols of grief .
Neither "inky suits cor clouds of
crape nor an overflow of salt water'
nor "the dejected 'hayior of the
visage" are to be trusted as eigna of
unconsolability, especially if the de
parted has been thoughtful enough
to leave a handsome legacy to the
eable-clad and lachrymose mourner.
In such a case, a Niobo might, with-
out injustice, be suspected of dissim
ulation. It is common to weep with
out much suffering, and equally
common to suffer keenly without
shfedding tears. There ure human
crocodiles who could pour forth eye
water enough to swim in without ex
periencing a single.pang. (
