There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. Fora
great many years Doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constaniy failing to cure
with local treatmept,pronounced it incur,
able. Science has proven catarrh to be
a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu
tional cure on the market. It is taken
interrally in doses from 10 drops to
teaspoonful. It acts directly upon the
blood and mucus surface of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address, F. J.

Changes in the National Character Caused
by llie Inllux of Foreigners.
One grave evil bas been the loose and
perfunctory methods of naturalization.
The rules of acquiring citizenship and
the preliminary terra of residence fixed
for aliens vary in different states, but in
nearly all the process by which for
eigners can be transmuted into Ameri
cans, with all the rights and privilege*,
of voters, is extremely easy an expedi
tious. In some states, and notably in
that of New York, the short residential
c. rm is evaded, and false declarations are
made by the hundreds for the sake of
manufacturing voters for party purposes.
This is more easily done in large cities
than iD the country districts, where peo
ple are known, but the modern tendency,
as in the old world, is to aggregate into
cities. What will be the national char
acter of America fifty or even twenty-
years hence? WlUrtUese heterogeneous
elements of population weld i ; ito one
homogeneous whole? Nearly one-third
of the people are foreign born. How far
will these affect the original stock?
England has passed through a similar
process, but on a much smaller scale, and
spread over a thousand years. The Uni
ted States have been absorbing — have
they assimilated?—for a generation, year
by year as many people as form an av
erage German principality, and these
settlers haye increasd and multiplied.
There are nearly twice as many Irish in
America as in Ireland. In some states
the Teutonic element preponderates,
Wisconsin has a large Helvetian settle
ment, and Minnesota is a favorite resort
of Scandinavians. The character of New
England has already undergone a marked
change. The Puritan character no longer
prevails. Farms that had been owned
and tilled for generations by descendants
of the original settlers are now in many
cases in the hands of Germans. Tne
mills of Massachusetts, Rhode Islai d and
Maine are largely recruited by French
Canadians. Ont of nearly 500,000 inhabi
tants of Boston almost one-fourth are.
Irish. Young NewEngland has gone west.
Whether its historic sturdy caracterwill
be impressed upon those nascent states
remains to be seen The chc e f ul optimism
that is so characteristic. of th people be
lieves, or hopes, that the common school
system will adjust all such matters. The
report on the last census states that in
1790 one-thirtieth of the population
were resident in cities of 8,000 and up
ward. In 1888 the proportion had grown
to nearly one-fourth. At the former pe
nod there was orly six such cities in
the United States, but now there are
286 Human nature is becoming more
and more gregarious. Rural live is vie a -
ed with aversion. People like the bustle
and excitement of towns, even though the
struggle for existence is intensified and
though an unknown number are crowded
out and pressed down in the conflict. In
all the principal cities there are thou
sands who might improve their condition
by going into the country, where the
supply of labor falls far short ot the de
mand.—Fortnightly Review.

A Negroe’s Brutal Assault on a White Rady.
Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 12.—
(Special)—The greatest indignation
is felt at Pratt mines near Bir
mingham, arising from the bru
tal assault of a negro on Mrs. J. T. Kel-
lum. In order to carry out his fiendish
deed, the negro murdered a young son
of Mrs. Eellum, and then outraged the
mother. A posse is in search of the
negro who escaped, and if found he will
be lynched. Mrs. Eellum is in a dying
condition.'
BIG GOOBERS.
A gentleman from the Free State saw
bunch of banannas hanging in front of
Jester’s, and was informed that they
were Florida goobers. The Free State

that it was getting time the world was
coming to an end when goobers were
aised so large.

Salt Rheum.
The agonies of those who suffer from severs
lalt rheum are indescribable. The cleansinft
healing, purifying influences of Hood’s Sarsa
parilla are unequalled by any other medicine,
•* I take pleasure In recommending Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, for it has done wonders for me.
I had salt rheum very severely, affecting me
over nearly my entire body. Only those who
have suffered from this disease in its worst
form can imagine the extent of my affliction.
I tried many medicines, but failed to receive
benefit until I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
hen the disease began to subside, the
Agonizing Itch and Pain
disappeared, and now I am entirely free from
the disease. My blood seems to be thor
oughly purified, and my general health Is
greatly benefited.” Lyman Allen, Sexton
N. E. Church, North Chicago, HI.
“My son had salt rheum on his hands and
the calves of his legs, so bad that they would
crack open and bleed. Ho took Hood’s Sar
saparilla and is entirely cured.” J. B. Stan
ton, ML Vernon. Ohio.
From 108 to 135
“I was seriously troubled with salt rheum
for three years, and receiving no benefit from
medical treatment I decided to try Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. I am now entirely cured of salt
rheum; my weight has increased from 108 lbs-
to 135.” Mbs. Alice Smith. Stamford, Conn.
II you suffer from salt rheum, or any blood
