Blaine’s political course will be in future. There is nothing except death and taxes more certain than that for some years he i* retired from public life when, in a few short days, he will give place to Frehnghuysen, who will be his successoi in the State department. But Blaine expects to bob up serenely in the next Republian Presidential Con vention. Elis role wili be that of an anti-stalwart candidate in the Repub lican party. For a than who invented the term “stalwart” ns applied to poli tics, such a role will be somewhat inconsistent for Mr. Blaine, bat be thinks that in that role he -tands a good chance of success. He proposes to take advantage of all mistakes that the present stalwart ad ministration may make, and also to nurse to his bosom the conservative branch of the Republican party. And then there is another point in Blaine’s programme. He is going to make a Southern tour, and try by hia geniality end popularity with men to work up Blaine’s boom in the South to join with the conservative Republican element in putting him forward as a Presidential caudidate in 1884. President Arthur and the stalwarts arc fully aware of the haud that Blaine intends to play. They will endeavor to back-cap his doing upon the South and let the conservative Republican element go by the board as it does not amount to much. It will be the effort of President Arthur to do in other States in the South as has been done in Virginia, which means, by the aid of the administration, to capture as many 1 Southern States os possible, and, if capture is impossible, to secure such a footiug that the ambition of Blaine will be nicaed in the bud. editorial notes by the cargo, and at retail, for the Lowest Market Price. ill exchange Lumber for Logs.

I am the same Rid- plc “Days Lano Syne.” A Kuwe at a SScslasmt. It is an awkward thing to be absent- minded. The story is told of a certain Philadelphia gentleman, who discover ed this at his cost. It so happened the other day that 'be dining-room of the club whieh be frequents was quite full, when a man who chanced to know his particular failing came in very hungry. The waiter told the newcomer there was no room at present. Spying our ab'ent-minded friend comfortably seated aud reading the newspaper, a brilliant idea struck the hungry man. “Has 31 r. A. dined yet?” be ques tioned. “No, sir,” replied the waiter. “Well never mind, take him his bill and tell him he has had his dinner.” The waiter hesitated a moment, and then appreciating the situation went over to 3Ir. A. and handed him his bill. “What is that for ?” quoth the poor fellow. “For your dinner, sir.” “My dinner—ah ! have I really had it?” «Yes; sir,” rejoined the waiter in ail innocence. “Dear me, I-had an idea I was wait in': tor it. What a curious mistake.” And with a contemplative smile Mr. A. sauntered out of the room, leaving his table for (he use of the genius who had profited by his absent mindedness.

John Mooney, a brutal fiend kicked his wife to death in New York, on Sat urday last, then dragged her nude body over a pile of stones to the rear part of his shanty where it was found by a police officer. Both were adicted to drink. The stepson of 3Irs. 31ooney witnessed the crime committed by his hither and gave the requisite testimony for a commitment for murder. Genius begins great works; labor alone finishes them. The State of Iowa has nearly coni' pleted its new Capitol at a oost of §1,- 800.000. —Evidently the Atlanta Constitution would like to see its god—Joe Brown —pinned on to the tail of a Republican kite as a candidate for vice president in 1884. In the rush of events nothing is impossible and the big daily is trim ming its huge sails to take advantage of the chances. —Last week we gave the Atlanta Constitution an opportunity of setting itself right in reference to certain paragraphs it recently aimed at Col. John Screven, of Savannah. That great journal in righting itself in the matter takes occasion to say that Col. Surevsn “ia one of the purest and begt men in the State,” which is just the truth. —A New York letter says; “I asked an intimate acquaintance of Jay Gould yesterday what he estimated that person to be worth. “Gould could close out today or within a week’s time,” said the man, “for $75,000,000,” The same informant told me that the richest merchant in New York was 3Ioses Taylor, and that he was worth 840,000,000.” —A Washington dispatch says the change in Senator Ben. Hill’s voice in consequence of the operation perform- on his mouth the winter past in Philadel tibia, edwas notieable to many. Before theo poration his voice was clear and strong. It is stiilstrong, but much of its clearness has gone. Still, there is no difir culty in distinguishing what he says net- with standing the mumbling that he gives his words. —Cue or two of our big Georgic dailies and all of the swarm of pap> sucking Washington correspondents hate Hon. Samuel J, Randall worse than the devil dees holy water. The reason of this inveterate hatred is that while Speaker of the House of Repre sentatives, the great Pennsylvanian set his face against that army of place hunters and jobbers which swarmed Vfasliington at every session of Con gress.

Bradfiei-p—Sir : My daughter has been sufi'ering for many years with that dreadful affliction known as Female Disease, which has cost me many dollars, and not- withstanding I had the best medical attend ance, could not find relief. I have used many other kinds of medicine without any effect. I had jus t about given her up, was out of heart, but happened ia the store of W, »V. Eekier several weeks since, and he knows of my daughter’s affliction purenaded me to try a bottle of your Female Regulator. She began to improve at once, I was so de lighted with its effect that I bought several more bottles. The price,-$1.50 a bottle, seemed to be very high at first, but I now think it the cheapest preparation on the globe and knowing what 1 do about it, if to-day one of my family was suffering with that awful disease I would have it if it cost $50 a bottle, for f can truthfully say it has cured my daughter sound and well, aud myself and wife do most heartily recommend your Fe male Regulator to be just what it is recom mended to be.
