LOST!
It is an established fact that Quinine or Cin
chonidia will stop Chills, and for this purpose
there is no better remedy. But it is also an es
tablished fact that they do not remove the cause
that produces the Chills. For if they did, the
Chills would not return on the 7th, 14th, 21st, or
28tli day. Then is it not money LOST to attempt
to permanently cure the Chills with Quinine or
Cinehonidia, when they do not remove the cause
from the system that produces them? For until
the cause i-i removed, the Chills will return. The
FERRINE
Is warranted to remove every cause from the
system that produces the Chills, and if it fails to
do this you will sustain no loss, for every drug
gist is authorized to guarantee a permanent cure
in every case, no matter of how long standing
ami will refund the money if the Chills return
after you are through taking. Positively uo cure,
no pay. Try it and be convinced. It contains

AN IMMENSE EONCd'ItSE PRESENT.
Louisville Courier-Journa]
The testimonial loJTon. Alex. 11.
Stephens last night a I me exposition can
safely he called unpatlUeled. It was a
deference of the mass/ to a man who
who will be a hU^-orhyharaeter. It was
fealty to a name t.M has never been
blemished, to honor fat has never been
questioned and t<l angoquenee that once
shook the country, pul whose sparks
have not yet been eiimfuished. Force,
power and beauty wi.ie hoved and con
trolled by a man who isimt the echo of
the Hon. Alexander II .Stephens of the
past. ’Tis hut a frail hdy, in which life
feebly circulates; the /erest hoy could
crush out the divine siark.s. It is but
evidence that genius a/njhilates infiirma
ty and ilhuninatcs wcikncss of body;
scorns every obstacle by overleaping it;
throws beauty in the background and
shows that mind and ,/oul and silveiy
hairs are greater elcme/tsin “stirring the
tierce democracy” tJ>Vt aught else in
the world. When ufe feeble, white
haired statesman, tv of American
chivalry, exponent of Le sunny south,
and bearer ot greetings from the wave
less white of the cottoi plantations, and
the palmetto forests, lliat sing their eter
nal songs, was pushed tl/ough the crowd
udon his chair, there w.s not a heart in
all the vast crowd thatlid not thrill and
beat for him. It was ho idle curiosity
that, compelled attenlon; hut it was
kindled sympathy. One heart-heat
moved them all. Old icon witk hair that
seemed a halo of as it fell upon
their shoulders were viminded of that
pleasing past which constitutes for them
the good old days. Mel of business be
held in him an ever ron<y assistance and
encouragement. Brigft eyes of Ken
tucky’s fairest fell softlyfupon the aged,
slight, but still grand ftvm. The laugh
ter of boys and girls Yas hushed and
changed to sympathetic silence. r Uhe
sight was an epic to the nind ; a song to
the ear; sublimity in action.
ORENTXG OF TIIE CEREMON IES
At a quarter of eight O'clock the Louis
ville legion, the committee from the board
trade and the officers of Ihe exposition,
with Eichorn’s band, went to the Galt
house, where Mr. Stephens was met and
placed in a carrige. He was driven to
the exposition, the hand heading the
procession and playing stirring music. It
was some time befon Mr. Stephens
could be taken from the carriage, owing
tq the ulun”iuo- of the horses, but be was
and taken into the building through the
door at ttic northwest corner, the music
and the soldier-hoys preceding him. At
the press-room he was met by the mem
bers of the hold of tiade, who, headed by
a eominittea composed ot Messrs. Logan
<■;. Murrv, dohn E. Green, George W.
Wicks, Col. Clint. NeClarty, J. M. Rob
inson and 15. F. Gutl l ie followed him up
on the platform. The following gen
tlemen composed theparty of \ ir
ginians and North Carolinians, who
Gi-e in the city upor an excursion
and who were invited to be pres
ent: Hunter Barksdale, IL L. Dibrell,
Danvilie, Virginia; J W. Porter, lb
Weirmuth, 1.. VV. Cor, Charlottsville,

The crowd that gahered around the
platform erected for he speakers, the
hoard of trade and othirs, and that bent
expectant!v ov‘r the riling above, was
probably the largest aid most intelligent
that ever assembled it the exposition,
and showed how familar the name of
Alexander H. Stephen is to the people
of Kentucky. Tt wastm old-fashioned,
whole-souled, large-hprted Kentucky
greeting that was exteiiled the southern
statesman. When everthing was ready
the fountain stopped slashing, and the
crowd was one ot sileit expectancy.
MR. H. c. I‘tDEbL,
one of the vice-presidejts of the exposi
tion, arose and welcon&d Mr. Stephens
shortly and pointedly, s follows:
Mr. Stephens —Thijpleasing commis
sion has been intrustedo me of express
ing, in behalf of the min tigers of this in
stitution and this comjurse of Kentuck
ians, their very gty gratification
in having an oppftunity to wel
come to their midst one who lias so
long, so faithfully sid so efficiently
served our nation; to/ecognize. in him a
former friend and all; of our own great
Clay; to commend Ids eloquence and
ability, and to do hojor to ids integrity,
ids patriotism and Invaluable public ser
vices.
I am also commissjued to welcome to
tlie exposition andJto Louisville the
friends from Yirginrand North J aroli
na \\ ho do us the lidor to grace the oc
casion, and to thank picm for their pres
ence. We trust that on, Sir, and each of
them, will derive sofie pleasure from an
inspection of the objafs of interest here
collected.
Mr. Stephens’ repdise was delivered
from bis movable claij. In spite of his
bodily Weakness hit vice is still good,
and at times it ring* Ike a clarion in a
mountain defile, it, was noticed that
whenever be wished to emphasize any
point lie would roll hi, chair first on the
right, then on the lef, and finally for
ward. These movfcmtits are substitutes
used by him fm- gostues, and they ren
der his speech vert remarkable. His ad
dress was of an 1 tours length and en
chained attention, S"o Roman father
could have been scooped greater hom
age; no Pagan chariot with the spoils of
hostile cities “to de<k the shrines of
Koine” in its wake ever occasioned
greater enthusiasm thin the chair ot the
invalid statesman.
When lie began w speak the crowd
gathered closer, and ijereased momenta
rily. By the statuaiv, the legion had
stacked its arms, aid the hoys were
drawn up in line.
The following is
MR. STEPHENS ADDRESS.
Mr. Stephens said:
Mr. President, Mj kagers and La
dies and Gentlemen of Kentucky—l
feel highly honored bythe remarks of the
gentleman who introdieed me to you. I
can barely return my tianks for this high
compliment. He ailude<l to a noble Ken
tuckian whom it was my great pleasure
to know and to honor—the immortal
Clay. [Applause.] Kentucky has a long
list ot names that will till the highest
niche in the temple of fame, beginning
with her Boone, her Shelby, her Scott,
her Bibb, her ( lay, her Crittenden, her
Wicklitie, and hosts that 1 would barely
have time to name. They all, however,
have their places on the roll of honor in
the dead generation, and will as long as
Kentucky has a history. It was not my
purpose in accepting the kind invitation
to witness this great exposition, to say
anything except to express the great
gratification that I, as a Georgian and a
citizen of a common country, feel at this
great exposition of art and mechanical
skill. To make an address upon an oc
casion like this is out of my sphere—it is
out of my arena—it is not on that thea
ter in which l am accustomed to speak.
I will, however, briefly endeavor to ex
tract some thought not inappropriate to
the occasion.
This is an exposition of genius, im
provement in machinery, in the mechan
ical ai ts and in the artsoflhe higher order.
This scene is one which can but elicit
the feelings of every true patriot, of ev
ery one devoted to the grand objects of
humanity—improvement of civilization.
It might not be inappropriate to speak of
your progress in the past and the pros
pects in the future. Upon what is prog
ress foudded? What constitutes prog
ress? it is civilization. It is the rise in
those arts and sciences by which man
kind is elevated in the scale of existence
—knowledge. What is knowledge ? If
is the aggregation of those observations
of the laws of nature in the beams of the
sun, in the running of the waters, in
gravitation. He who observes and con
trols the laws ot nature is the benefactor
of mankind —he makes a step in progress.
It has been said that he who makes two
bladesof grass grow where one grew be
fore is a greater benefactor of mankind
tnan allof the heroes that have ever lived
upon the face of the earth. 1 do not give
the exact words, but that is the idea. He
who, therefore, by the invention of some
instrument adds to human knowledge,
advances one step in progress. It might
not he inappropriate to speak of the pro
gress of our country in the past. One
hundred years have not passed since the
first steam engine was invented, and it
was thought to he an American enter
prise. It was thought to be a wonderful
accomplishment when the first steamboat
moved four miles an* hour. Longstreet,
of Georgia, was seven days behind him
in getting a boat on the Savannah river
to run five miles an hour. Less than
sevety-five years ago there was not a
mile of railroad on this continent; but
now if you will permit your imagination
to lift you above this plane, you may to
night see steam engines of tweniy, thir
ty or forty tons sweeping their course
from one end of this continent to the
other —over mountains, through moun
tains, sealing the heights and through
the valleys—thousands of race-horses,
carrying hundreds and thousands of peo
ple. In 1825, if we had been told that
man would live to see these things,
would we have believed it V In 1843,
great genius that seized the lightning and
made it carry the news of the world, was
then in his laboratory in a room in con
gress working at the great problem.
Now the wires extend not only from
Washington to Baltimore which was
thought to he the limit, but they encir
cle this continent. Xay, more—the wires
extend all around the habitable globe.
This lias been clone within our day. One
of the most distinguished of the young
poets of America has said that it is not
the land that makes the man, but it is the
man that makes the land. I have not
time to dwell upon other most astonish
ing revolutions which have been the re
sult of the knowledge of man—the ge
nius and intellect of man. Look at
Greece. To-day the land where Pericles
spoke, and Demosthenes spoke, and Ca
to spoke, and Socrates spoke, and Homer
sang. What a wide waste is the same
vEgean sea, the same Acropolis, the
same Olympus, the same cerulean sky.
It is living Greece no more. The men
are not there; the genius that made it il
lustrious is not there. So of other coun
tries. Your land of Kentucky, your
beautiful hills, your mountains, your
valleys, your grass lands that hundreds
of centuries were covered with your for
ests, through which the light of the sun
never entered; your Ohio and Indiana
prairies, which, for hundred ot years and
centuries, lay in rest —the same sun, the
same moon, the same stars shown upon
these hills and valleys and land that do
now. What is the difference? Man—a
differant race, a different character of
people. Man makes the land, and not
land the man. It was not Greece with
her sunny skies that mifle the land. It
was the genius of the people. When
you come to the germ, it is the institu
tions of the people that develop her char
acter. Man by himself works nothing.
The foundation -from w hich all spring
is the law —the government —the institu
tions of a people. It was that law from
which Grecian greatness sprang—the
law from which Homan greatness sprang.
It was the foundation law of their con
stitution. The foundation of all pro
gress is that law' which is founded upon
fustiee and right. It is that which pre
vents the strong from oppressing the
weak. All just laws from which great
civilizations spring, are simply the law
that keeps one man from hurting anoth
er. It is that law' that allows all per
sons to pursue their happiness in such a
way as their own volition may dictate,
so that they do not use their power to
injure or hurt another. This is the foun
dation of that greatest and matchless civ
il liberty w hich distinguishes the Amer
ican people—the law of right and justice.
I t is this from which this progress of w hich
1 speak, and of w hich w e are so justly
proud, sprang. The future depends up
on the maintenance of these institutions.
Our system of institutions lias been
founded upon this principle.
I thought that it might be agreeable,
ami not inapt or inopportune upon this
occasion to speak of these things. I do
not intend to trespass upon your time or
upon vour patience; but allow me to say,
that our future progress, in my opinion,
if we adhere to the system of our institu
tions—that matchless system of Ameri
can government —that our future pro
gress in art, in science, and in every
thing that ennobles and civilizes will be
grander than anything in the past great
as that has been. We now have the elec
tric wires around the globe. We now have
our weather reports by which people
in Kentucky can know almost as well
—the agriculturist, the farmer, the
navigators, and all can know as well
what weather to expect, whether sun
shine or storm, whether cyclone or
hurricane, as you in Louisville know
that when the river is ten feet above
low-water mark at Pittsburgh, that you
can expect it here in two or three days.
This grand system is about in its infancy.
I refer to tile Metreorogieal bureau at
Washington. I state what may not be
; known to you, that Gen. Meyers, at the
head of that bureau, has established in
his European tour a system in which
there will be co-operation with all Euro
pean governments; so that with their co
operation he will be enabled to give a re
port of the exact state of the barometer
and thermometer and winds over the
whole globe in one chart, in one mass.
England is co-operating, Germany is co
operating, France is co-operating in this
grand system that will bring about me
teorological knowledge that will be of
incalculable benefit to the human family
in commerce and in everything. It is an
American enterprise, 'flic steamboat
was an American enterprise. The world
has adopted it. The electric telegraph
was an American invention. The
world has followed it. The meteoro
logical reports are an American enter
prise. The world has followed it.
We are taking the lead. May we
not be proud of it ? Let all our coun
ties and states have such expositions as
this. It promotes genius, it stimulates
invention, it gives encouragement to lat
ent genius and brings it out. Now then,
who can say w hat shall bo the limit of
this progress?? Who will say that in
twenty-live years he will not see the air
navigated—ariel ships traversing the air
as rapidly as the steamboat now does the
water? What is to be the future of this
country? With good government, the
maintenance of that grand system of
institutions from which all this has
sprang, who w ill set the limit or extent
of the progress in art and science of this
American people?
Would that my strength would enable
me to dwell upon this subject of the fu
ture of the American people upon this
continent. In watching the mighty pro
gress so far in less than a century, seeing
what has been done and what is now
doing, the activity of the American peo
ple and the proud position in the future
she will occupy, you will pardon me for
indulging in an illustration that I have
used on other occasions, but which is not
inapt here, and that is the prophetic vis
ion of the ancient prophet who spoke of
a wonderful presentation. He saw a
number of living organisms—living
creatures all alike, each separate and
distinct, and yet miraculously connected
with the same spirit. Each had a dis
tinct spirit, and yet they were all con
nected. It was wonderful. Wherever
the common spirit went, thither all the
other spirits went, and the movement
was like the noise of many waters, tin*
voice of the Almighty. Now 1 do not
pretend to be an interpreter of prophecy,
but I do reverently believe in that all
powerful Providence that cast these colo
nies in the w ilderness, and which has
guided them in the past, and I believe I
have a faith, that, however we may err
and blunder, that Providence w ill guide
us omvard as it did the chosen people in
the w ilderness and support us as it did
them, and that there is a grand future in
reserve. It is true that the thirteen
original colonies were all separate and
district. They came into thirteen states,
all separate and distinct, each having all
the functions of life, each a separate and
independent organism, yet all miracu
lously linked together by a Fedei-aUieaii.
Ihe Federal.. .l ,u WAt 1 WiV*‘ exactly alike.
They had the same institutions in nitpiv
respects, but not until the late chastise
ment, not until the late most lamentable
war, were they exactly -alike. Some
were called slave states. lam not going
to speak of that subject, whether prop
erly slave or subordination of race. Let
that all go. They were not exactly
alike, but now, through the sacrifice of
blood and the chastisement of war, they
are all alike—from Maine to California,
all alike. [Applause.] Now, then, for
the future. Administer the Government
as it ought to be, maintain this grand
law, that justice shall lie done to all—the
humblest and the lowest w ithout distinc
tion of race and color. That is the grand
law, that no man shall hurt another,
and here permit me to refer to the
dogma that is more mischievous in our
nation than any other, and it is fre
quently attributed to American institu
tions—the greatest good to the greatest
number. No such tiling. The true .Jef
fersonian and American doctrine, now at
least, is the greatest good to all without
injury to a single one. That is our doc
trine! It extends from the highest to
the low est circle —lrom the humblest la
borer to the wealthiest man in the coun
try —.justice to all. Our system is found
ed upon the idea that all society is based
upon the Interchange of labor and re
ciprocal services. That is our grand
system.
Now, in conclusion, shall wc, may we
indulge this hope for the future? Let
your exposition go on. Let genius he
awakened in every department. En
courage the lowest as well as the highest
ranks. By so doing, in the future may
we not indulge in the hope that this
vision of the prophet may be applicable
to this country and not only thirty-eight
states, each separate within its own
sphere, hut linked together by a common
spirit, a federal head —that we may not
only have thirteen or thirty or thirty
eight, but may we not take in the whole
country in a grand federal republic, the
most magnificent government that was
ever instituted by men. [Applause.]
Every state government itself in accord
ance with this principle of .justice, Maine,
Kentucky, Wisconsin, California, anti
the infant territories of Wyoming and
Dakota, and you may drop down and
take in Arizona —who cares if the num
ber becomes a hundred, it will be a grand
er group in the future, each one per
forming its own functions in its own
sphere, all connected with this grand
federal head, moving on harmoniously,
so that whithersoever the common spirit
goes all the others will go together, and
The monarehs of the earth will
look with amazement at this grand
phenomenon of the American system ot
self-government. Then, indeed, when
we all move together in perfect harmo
ny, the nations of the earth may look on
ill wonder as the prophet and hear the
motion of all together as the noise of the
great waters, even of the Almighty.
At the conclusion the crowd cheered
most vociferously, and a great many la
dies and gentlemen came upon the stand
and shook hands with the speaker. He
was taken into the press-room where he
was the recipient of more courtesies, and
where the party drank his health in gob
lets of sparkling champagne.
The following curious c alculation ap
pears in a French journal: “The Prince
Imperial had seventeen wound?. Thei/
are seventeen letters in the name of N>
poleou Bonaparte. The addition ot \P
figures 1808, the date of the birth of
poleon 111., makes seventeen; so <Ves
1826, the date of the Empress Eugene's
birth, and 1853, the date of their car
riage. From that to 1870, the ye* of
their fall, was seventeen. The pinee
Imperial was seventeen years o' age
when his father died. There are /ven
teen letters in the name of Lieipnant
Carev, and the addition of the Igo res
1862, the date of Prince Victor' birth
again produces seventeen.

DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.
Hon. J. W. 11. Underwood Inter
viewed on the Political
Situation.
The editor of the Summerville Gazette
recently interviewed Judge Underwood,
and reports as follows:
“What do you think of the prospect of
the democratic party?"
* “The outlook is pretty gloomy, but if
wise counsels prevail we will win the
presidential election in 1880."
“What about the election in Maine?”
“No democrat could reasonably expect
that we would carry the election in Maine.
But the indications there -how that with
a practical plan of financial relief we
would have a prospect ot carrying even
that republican state."
“What are the objections to the green
hackers ?”
“The objection to the platform of the
green backers is this: they propose to
pay the interest-bearing bonds by anew
issue of greenbacks based upon nothing,
which would fill the country with an ir
redeemable paper eurrene}', and thereby
destroy its commerce and paralyze its in
dustry. Whereas the true idea is to in
ti ate the currency from $9 to S3O per cap
ita, based upon gold and silver in the
treasury. The details of this plan are too
long to publish, but they are of easy so
lution. It only requires true statesman
ship and political pluck.’’
“What reasons do you assign for thu
republican gains in California?”
“We lost the election in California up
on ridiculous state issues, started by
Kearney and his coadjutors for purely
selfish purposes. In New York there is
a feud in the party which is as disgrace
ful to principle as it i injurious to liber
ty. The Tammany faction, headed bv
Kelly, propose to rule or ruin, and prefer
defeat to the triumph of their rivals.
The trouble in the democratic organiza
tion in the United States and many of the
strtes i* this: they have attempted to
organize on men instead of the principles
and guarantees of civil liberty.”
“Can parties maintain their ascenden
cy that do not stand on principle w hen
parties are formed upon men—men die,
principles live forever.”
“What Wilt be the result of the election
of another republican candidate for presi
dent?”
“Behind the election of another re
publican candidate for president stands
the empire, if not the name, in its pow
ers and oppressions. Liberty is now on
trial; the people are the jury, and it' the
democracy is now defeated irue liberty
will be a thing of the past. It is of no
consequence who the agent may be to
execute a principle. Of course every
one who exercises the functions of a high
ofiiec ought to be a person of integrity
and reasonably good character.”
“What do you think *©f the election of
Gov. Robinson, of New York?”
Gov. Robinson is a good man, and
ought to receive the undivided support of
the party in that state, and Horatio Sey
mour, S. S. Cox, and other great demo
cratic lights in that state, owe to their
past history, their present position, and
Mb <1 Uutj . Ammli'i:, Sim Jui.
ing that this is done. I hey should wear
*TtrK mci j iitiuiiji in <4rc state or secure
this grand result. Thurman and Ewing
in Ohio are doing their whole duty, and
if their wind grows short, Hendricks and
Voorhees ought to fly to their relief.”
“What will be the result of the perfect
harmony and organization of the demo
cratic party in Georgia and the cfleet of
disorganizations as they existed in 1878?”
“Georgia of course will east her vote
for the democratic nominee for president,
but she does not now occupy a position
in her political organization to command
the influence and power to which she is
justly entitled. Being the leading south
ern state, perfect harmony and organiza
tion here will inspire confidence in the
democracy of the north, and insure the
electoral votes for our candidate for pres
ident in the close northern ’states. Dis
organization, as it existed in 1878, will
beget distrust, and defeat may follow;
therefore let every true democrat from
principle, without reference to past dif
ferences, feel it to be his duty to assist in
perfecting an organization that w ill in
sure harmony. If this is done, the pa
triot may feel hopeful for the future of
our great republic.”
The life and character of our distin
guished friend have been shaped amid
the shadows of north Georgia, and in
the budding of his manhood the pageant
ry, pomp and power, of his young and
massive mind, enabled him to ride upon
the crest of the wave of his profession
and enjoy a large and lucrative practice.
He is of fine physique, commanding in
appearance, fluent in conversation, and
never reticent upon the virtues of the
(femocratio party, which he believes t*
be the only safeguard of this grand re
public of ours from the thraldom of
imperialism in manner if not in name,
lie is quite conversant with the affairs of
the government, but his quiet, unag
gressive manner, and Jus free and pun
gent criticism of the follies and foibles
of things both in private and public life,
have perhaps oeen detrimental to his en
joyment of political preferment, hut h<*
is to-day, in many respects, without a
peer.
The Zollieotters.
Hillsboro (Texas) licportor.J
Some two bundled years ago Baron Von
ZollicoUer, one of the richest nobles of
Switzerland, divided his immense landed
estate between his four sons, with a per
petual encailment in each branch to tho
oldest male heir. The sole representa
tive of (me branch Is Colonel E. C. Zolli
! coffer, vho lives in the eastern part of
this county. His cousin, General Felix
Zollitotter, who was killed at Fishing
j creel the first year of the war, was the
| oldest representative, but left no male
he!*, and the eutailment deoended to
Cdonel Zollieofter. He and his son are
tie only male representatives of his
1 ranch of the family, of which fact he
mly became aware some six or eight
months ago. The income has been accu
mulating for five years, and now
amounts to a large sum. Colonel Zolli
epfter is one of our best known and most
uglily esteemed citizens. He has for
yarded the necessary papers, and has
•Den informed there will he no difficulty
/about establishing his claim.
y Mr. L. Carrington, of Milledgeviile, is
/a lineal deceudant of this eminent family.
He has in his possession an original doc
ument signed by ltodolphus, king of
Hungary, conferring nobility on the head
of this family. A branch of the family
live in North Carolina.
The Philadelphia Times is powerfully
Impressed with the fact that everything
points to a busy and prosperous season;
the volume of business, as measured by
the exchanges, shows a rapid growth,
legitimately and substantial, and our bus
iness men need but to go forward hope
fully in the widening channels that open
out before them to bear their part in the
restoration of national prosperity that
will make memorable the winter of 1870,
