Gentlemen—My only object in giving you
this testimonial is to spread valuable informa
tion. Having been badly afflicted with Salt
Kheum, and the whole surface of my skin be
ing covered with pimples and eruptions, many
of which caused me great pain.nnd annoyance
apd knowing it to be a blood disease, I took
jnany of the advertised blood preparations,
Among which was any quantity of Sarsaparilla,
without obtaining any benefit until I commen
ced taking the Vegetine, and before I bad
completed the first bottle I saw that
I had got the right medicine.
Oonsequertly, I followed on with it
until I had taken seven bottles, when I was
pfppounced a well man. and my skin is smooth
pad entirely free from pimples and eruptions.
f haye neypr enjoyed so good health before,
and j attribute it to the use of Vegetine. To
benefit those afflicted with Rhenmatism, I will
make mention also of the Vegetine’s wonderful
power of curing me of this acute complaint,

"Nature is a man’s great teacher. She unfolds
Her treasure* to his search, unseals his eye.
Illume:-, his mind, and puvjfios hiß heart.
An influence breathe* from all the sights and
sounds
Of Ucr existence ; she is wisdom’s self."
As the fair Year, the vassal of the Sun,
By grateful service doth forever prove
The immutable lojalty, the potent faith,
That binds her Seasons to his sovereign will,
Whether rejoicing, on their cloudless course,
His royal favor falls in fruits and flowers.
Or, veiled in frowns his ominous brow betrays
The ruin that shall smite their flying hours—
Even, so, despite of time’s inconstancy,
Our own Humanity, through ceaseless change.
Unswerving moves to its detei mined end !
Our life, obedient t.o a law divine,
In never-ending cycles wheels around
The mystic centre of the universe—
The throned sovereignty of Love and Poorer—
To whose illimitable inflti-rice
Nature in all her Protean features pavs
Her homage, and the tribute of her praiao.
The swinging, silver globules, of the dew,
With which the elfin hosts of Oberon deck
IV. pied and porfound vesture of the fields,
In mimiery of Heaven’s resplendent orbs,
Yield the true allegiance to the self-same law
That holds the wheeling planets to their plaejs
And time,s the march of nature. Matter—
Mir.d—
fhe Unseen and the Seeu; this poudrous globe
With all it holds; soul quickening Thought,
that shapes
Glgtltitic potencies of good and ill
W itllin the silent chambers of the brain,
Or to the highest pinnacles of Heaven
Sublimely soars on Fancy tireless wings.
Are but the parts of a majestic whole,
The metamorphosis of endless power,
W hose human name is Life.
Eternal change,
The inter blending of created things.
Whose motion makes the spheric harmony.
Are emblems of our spirit’s earthly life
Which, for a season in its mould of clay
Imprisoned, ripens for eternity ;
And, therefore, from the seasots wondrous
change.
IVc may learn fruitful knowledge!/ and inhale
The perfume of life’s heavenly poesy.

Democratic Art van tagc.s.
The Democracy have several very sig
•R'l advantages in the present l’resid* n
tial campaign. These are so numerous,
and so powerful, that the certainty of tne
party to elect their national ticket is
assured. This assurance, however, is
coupled with the condition that there be
no blundering, no mismanagement.
The first advantage possessed by the
Democracy is in the quality of the can
didate. Herein the odds arc largely
against the opposition. The Republican
ticket lacks balance, being much the
weightier in the less considerable candi
date. So far as propriety is concerned,
Wheeler should be at the head, in place
of the tail, of the .combination. This
lack of balance does not occur in the
Democratic ticket.
The!Democratie ticket is superior in
another personal respect —one which is
of immense support of the saliant char
acteristics of the two leaders. Ilayes is
a wholly negative character. He is
remarkable, not for what he has done,
but for his singular and persistent reoord
for having done nothing. On the other
hand, Mr. Tilden is aggressive. He is a
leader. All his public life is hi tailing
with salient points. Where Ilayes lias
been quiescent, he has been active.
Where the one has been led, the other
has been a leader. The one is positive,
the other negative. These are differen
ces which tell in all cases where masses
are to be handled, where men are to be
moved to action. All through the fight
the BtipiueneßS of the one will he con
trasted with the dan and energy of the
other. Men vote as they fight. The
magnetism of a great leader, in either
case, excicisos a tremendous influence
upon the result.
Perhaps the greatest advantage pos
sessed by the Democracy is in the condi
tion of the country. Republicanism lias
controlled it for sixteen years, and the
result of a situation for which history
furnishes no parallel, Industry is at a
low ebb j the country is full of uncm
pleyed laborers ; business is prostrate ;
taxation excessive, aud malversation in
office the rule, rather than the exception.
It is only since the Democrats obtained
a majority in the House, that the tre
mendous extent of Republican frauds
has become apparent, Jt has been shown
that almost every Republican officehold
er is an official thief. Everywhere, from
Washington to the remotest frontiers,
from the custom bouse in New Orleans
to the revenne officers in Chicago. Re
publicanism has been engaged in bold
robbery, in downright swindling, Cab
inet Ministers, Senators, postmasters,
collectors, gangers, or what not, wherev
er there has been a Republican offieia’,
there has nearly always been found a
Republican thief.
These facts are understood by the
people They see tint th" ‘’o'lt.h : = not

pacified, that the ciirieiiov is still depre
ciated, that everywhere are uneasiness
and alarm among business men. Seeing
these things, the people will demand a
change. They will sav ? “Matters can
not certainly be worse than now, under
Democratic rule ; they may he better.
Give ns a change ot administration.”
Still other advantages acrue to the
Democracy, among which is the Mongo
lian plank in their platform. Whether
founded in justice or not, the Democratic
assertion in regard to Asiatic immigra
tion is sure to carry the electoral vote of
' the Pacific slope. It may lie that this
advantage is one which will bo gained
at the expense of some of our cardinal
principles relative to human rights;
nevertheless, as the cost will be paid in
the golden coin of votes, it will have a
substantial value in settling the results
of the pending elections.
These are some of the advantages on
the side of the Democratic party. They
are amply sufficient to secure the election
of the Democratic candidates, providing
! there, shall be no serious blundering in
| the management of the campaign. As
the leader of the Dnnocralic hosts is a
captain of supreme ability, it is certain
that, if there is no mismanagement, it
will be among subordinates. Neverthe
less. such is the temper of the people,
that it is only supreme folly which can
throw away an overwhelming victory.—

Tildeii Among the Figures iuil tlie
Hogues.
llis opponents, his rivals, and his sup
porters being judges, Gov. Tilden has,
with the possible exception of De Witt
Clinton, been more completely the bead
of the State administration than any
man who ever filled the Executive chair
of New York. Some have complained
that he relies too much npon himself.
Certainly, then, he deserves the chief
credit for all the good that has been
achieved in our public affairs since lie
took control ol them.
During the past eighteen months Gov.
1 ilden has originated and carried through
measures that have reduced our canal
Xpendittires at tao rate of two and a
lialf millions of dollars annual)*; Re
sides this, he has initiated i line of pol
io) that lias exposed and broken up a
chionicsystem of frauds whereby the
State, for years past, ins been robbed of
large amounts ot its canal revenues.
He lias set at defiance and driven out of
the field a horde of contractors who had
been long accustomed to do work on tile
canals that was either not needed at all
or was performed at rales ruinous to the
State. He has carefully watched the
proceedings of the Legislature, and his
warning voice has frightened away
many jobbers, while by his veto he has
in two sessions reduced the appropri
ations for general purposes about a mil
lion of dollars. And during his term ol
office, and mainly because of his meas
ures, the State taxes have been cut down
nearly or-.e-half*
Here is a kind of reform that every
body cau understand and all honest men
will appieciate and applaud. Wo need
his sort of reform at Washington during
the next four years. We don’t want
rhetoricians, who deal in sounding
phrases about reform i hut practical work
ers after the manner of Srm Tilden, who
solve the problem of financial reform by
reducing expenditures and diminishing
taxes.
Mr. Tilden hardly has hiu match for
wading through long columns of com
plicated figures and discovering extraya
gances, uncovering frauds, and detecting
rogues, The old Tammany Kjng and the
more punning Canal Ring will bear tes
timony to this. Tim national Govern
ment will afford wide scope for the dis
play ot Gov. Tilden’s genius in a field
which lie has cultivated with so mueh
success in New York. Every real friend
of administrative reform will had the
day syhen hp goes to work ne.\t March
upon the statistics aud the scoundrels at

tTS first MCOVERY nv TtlE PREUMTOniC
INDIANS.
Columbia (S. C,) Register In a re
cent speech Delivered in the House of
Representatives, R. 1!. Vance, member
of Congress from North Carolina, said 1
die first discovery ot gold in the United
States, was made in .Mecklenburg, in
that Stale, in 1821). A correspondent of
a North Carolina newspaper corrects
this statement, saying that the first gold
was found in Cabarrus in 1799, and refers
to^Wheeler’s ‘History ot North Carolina’
tor evidence.
Old chroniclers give an account of a
province called Cofacliujui, which was
visited by De feotos go’d-lnmiiiig ex
pedition in 1538-40, and which was af
terwards the States of Florida, Georgia,
Alabama and Mississippi and, according
to Logan, in his history of ‘Upper Car
olina,’ [had its centre on the western
limits of South Carolina, Its capital
and chief town s'ood upon the tongue
ot land between the Broad River, ot
Georgia, and the Savauah, just opposite
the modern district of Abbeville. The
Spaniards entered this capital after a
two months march, and found the coun
try ruled by a beautiful Indian <piecn.
Xtialln, who entertained the Spanish
Governor null army with much ceremo
ny. Here they found hatchets formed
from an alloy of gold and copper. By
this their cupidity was greatly excited
and they'concluded that they had tout) 1
a country abounding in the long-coveted
precious deposits of gold. And so in
deed they had, says Logan (whom we
quote freely,) but it was neither their
good fortune nor their desert to find out
the precise spot where they can be ob
tained. In less than fitteeu miles south
east of the town, on the opposite or Caro
lina side of the river,lay one of the most,
extraordinary gold deposits in the world
The CheroKees were well acquainted
with the locality of the Dorn mine. This
is shown by the numerous relics of their 1
handiwork scattered around it, and there
can be little doubt that th i massy nug

fliem aounonntly with the finer metal of
the alloy that so attracted the eyes ot the
Spaniards. It is no less known to a few
who have inquired into the tralitions of
the aborigines, that the gold and copper
found in their possession, in the form ot
solid masses and curious trinkets, by the
first white men who visited the conn,
try, weie obtained by them from these
resources.
The Indian method of smelting these
metals was one of the most lvm.iakable
devices of savage ingenuity in practical
efficiency, the famous blow pipe of Dr.
Hare was scarcely superior. Logan tells
us that having first hollowed out a flat
stone in the shape of a basin, they filled
it with charcoal, and upon this laid the
nuggets of metal; A number ot Indians
now seated themselves annul the basin,
each one having in Ids hand a long reed
pierced through its entire length and
armed at ope end with a c'ay tube or
pipe. Everything being ready, fire was
applied to fhe charcoal, and the whole
mass instantly blown into a powerful heat
through the reeds, the clay extremities
of which were inserted in the basin,
while the Indians blew through them
upon the charcoal with all their might,
and with protracted expiration. No or
dinary lump at either gold or copper
could long maintain its solidity in such
a crucible, With this process the Indi
an couffi easily produce any variety of
ornament fyom thesp metals, using I hem
either alone or in all jy, Tpia method
was known to have been in use among
the Indiana who lived upon tho gold
producing lands ot North Carolina, and
the same process mast have been known
to the Gherokees,
Gov- Hendricks is now in has 57th

gentleman, well-preserved, well-man

are blue, like Governor Tilden’a. His

Grant Furious,
Ihe u| ter break down of the third
term scheme, and the indirect rebuke to
it which Hayes’s conscience keepers in
serted in his letter of aewpta.ce, have
contributed, with other stimulating can.
ses, to make Grant violent in his lan
guage and acts, lie has not pretended
to conceal or temper his wrath, as he
did while ho was a candidate lor ref
lection, and was intriguing to bring
about bis third nomination. Restraints
which i hen commanded prudence are
now broken and he feels free to have his
own way, the more so for having been
curbed by reasons of State and party
policy un’.il the bondage became unendu
rable. Of course ho feeln keenly the
criticism, which indirectly made bv
Hayes’s letter. Because it the civil
service reform is so urgent as alleged, it
necessarily follows*tlmt the object is to I
correct abases ot Grant’s administrtion.
At least that is his constiaction of the
language.
The resent clearing out of the of
ficials who were most trusted in the
1 1 casury, and who <1 i*l most to redeem
it, from disgrace, i., the result of this
explosion of anger at what Grant calls
bad Detriment by the party. He claims
to have saved it from certain defeat in
18(18 and 1872 ; and therefore he was
entitled to a third term; More than
that, he complains that after having
yielded his patronage and often his poli
cy, to the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives, he was not sinVaiiicd as he
should have been by those who owed
him gratitude and devotion.
At all events G"ant has resolved to
beabsahite master fora while, and to
turn the public service upside down, in
order to gratify his personal resentments
and to reward hjs trusted adherents.
He is at last seeu in bis true character.
AH along be lias been wearing a mast
and playing a part. At, no time was be

he never expected that Mr. Bristow
would carry the war to the extremity he
did, and cap the climax by having
Babcock indicted. When he came to
see how his words had been turned to
account, his fury could hardly be cheek
ed, and then began the revulsion of feel
ing toward Bristow, which never cooled
until he and all of his agents in the
prosecutions were out of office and the
King was restored io favor.
This fever will subside gradually, and
Giant, after the heated term is over,
will fall into line like a regular, and for
get his grievances. Chandler and Robe
son, who are his special chums in the
Cabinet, will win him over to their phns
and tiling about an understanding with
Hayes, by which every concession will
be made and the best relations secured.
Grant is cunning. It is his stong point.
Re may have gotten up all this flurry
before the public, in order to dictate
terms to the Republican candidate, after
having first gratified his own feeling ol
revenge.—[N. Y. Sun.

An Anecdote of Sun tag.
M hen the celebrated singer, Henrietta
Sonlag began he-r musical career alio was
subjected to the same annoyance and
struggles that rising talent generally
funis obstriming its pathway as it would
race over the burning sands ot life to
the haven of fame and fortunes. Never*
thclcsa her debut in Vienna was inoat
brilliant, spite of the enormous sea ot
opposition that greeted her, yet the en
couraging roar of the lions could >k
entirely drown the hlvdug of the snakes.
One ot the moat venomous ot these
was the tailing la tori to of the public,
but still powerful rtral, Amelia Steinin.
ger, whose vocal octave had been consid
erably broken and reduced by dissipation
but she counted scores of admirers .who
were ready to defend her position ho,-
every means, fair or foul, in their power*,
and eventually succeeded in driving the
dangerous rival of their‘Stein'ngcr’from
the field.
Chagrined, if not humiliated, Sontag
[left Vienna harboring anything but
friendly feelings towards Amelia Stoin
mgor. One morning some years later,
while she was in the glory of her tri
umph, singing with the tenor, Jager, and
the never-to-be-forgotten buffo, Spitze
der, at tho Royal Theatre, Berlin, B(heu.
riding along one of the main stmts C 4
Berlin she was attracted by hearing an
Austrian song, f; miliar from childhood
ami home, sung on the street corner by
a little girl about six years old, who led
'by the hand a forlorn looking blind
woman. It was a sad twtd touching air,
and the happy cmtwtice immediately
ordered her coupe to be hulled, called
the little singer to her and said :
‘What is your name, my wee Austrian
echo f
‘Nannie,’ tho child replied, with a
strange Vienna accent.
‘And who is the woman with you t*
‘My poor, blind mother, lady,’
‘And what is her nainuT’
‘Amelia Sleiuinger, l/vly, 1-
‘Amelia Steiuinger!' exclaimed Soptag.
in greatest surprise.
‘Yes, lady, my mother was a great
singer in Vienna long ago, but she lost
her voice, and then she wept W> much
ihat the light went out of her eyes; then
our friends turned away from us, and
when that was also gone we were ob
liged to beg onr way or die of hunger,’
Tears welled from the kind and gen
erous heart ot tho fortunate woman aa,
she listened to the pathetic story ot the
little one—tears of genuine sympathy,,
who gathered about her” like sattellites
around their star.
‘Gentlemen,’ said she, tho pearling
drops of liearUdno glistening in her
beautiful eyes, ‘permit in 4 here oil this,
public place to lake up a collection {of
an unhappy sister whom God has seen fit
(o lake liis greatest gitt—the gift ot
fight. Hero is my purse ; do not allo’V
it to remain oorapanioulees in the hands
of this poor child.’
In an instant the gold and silver rain
ed upon the overjoyed little girl, who
imagined an angel had come to relieve
tier mother from poverty and care.
‘Now, tell me, Nannie, where do you,
live ?’
The child gayc the address.
‘Give your mother my love, and toll
her her old friend Hcnrietlo Sqptftg vtM
do herself the pleasure of hunting her
up this afternoon and have a little chat
with her.
Crying for joy, the child ran to her
mother with her good luck, and repeated
Soiling’s words, but 6be could not un
derstand the violence of the impetuous
burst of tears that fell from the blind
eyes, to ho followed by the remorseful
sobbing of her who once drove this ben
efactress Irom her native cRy with hisses.
Sontag came according to promise,
bringing a skillful occulist, who after
