They toll me tbe following glory of u certain Southern member of Cou giess, whose finances are iu a ebron ic state of disorder here as well ns at home. His district was split into two factious at tLo last Congression a! election, one faction supporting a candidate who was known to favor certain railroad schemes, and the oth er putting forward our friend as an Anti-Monop list and Guardian of tho Peoples Liberty. The latter faction was in a hopeless minority, and when, therefore, she present Congressman undertook to cinvass it, his case was regarded as utterly hopeless; especially »o, in view of the fact, that his cr ditois joined in a body the runks of the opposition. Our friend's method, however, bad the boldness and s'mplicity of true genius. On a:riving at a village or settUment, ho would at once call upou his most furious credit*r and addrtssed him as follows: Now, my fritDil, you hold my Dole for $400, borrowed money, don’t you? It was protested t'O years ago. wasn’t if? You never expect to get a cent, do yon, now? Very good. And you are no uncompromising friend of tho ra lioad, while I am an anti-monopolist to the backbone. Exactly. Now let us understand each other. I am running for Con gress, and this is a critical stage in my affairs. If I am elected I may be able to pay my .creditors. I don’t say I will, mind you, but there is a chance that I may. If I am defeat ed, that is tlie end of it. I shall have to get-out of here, and begin life over again somwhere else, and devil ^ c lit of your money will you ever see. Come, row, what are yon going to do? And to tho horror of the railroad candidate, the minority re«iDforced by the Congressman’s creditors, swept the district like a whin wind. Of the same Congressman they tell me ut the clubs the story that he came into ihe House one day this week looking somewhat forlorn and decidediy demoralized. You look pale, remarked a sympa tbizing friend. Yes; I’m so nervous I don't know what to do. Wbat's the matter* Well, you see, last night I dream ed I paid off my creditors, and I am so worried to know where the devil I got tbe money from.

The disease, in such c ises, cannot bo cured until the out so, whatever it is, is removed. More than half tho victims of coo sumption have albumen in the water. “What does this indicate?'' Albumeu esnnot appear in wbat escapes from tbe*bodv, if the organs which take the water from tbe blood are healthy. We drink water in large quantities every day. This water goes through the body and washes away tho waste matter and decay of the system, and takes it to the kidneys- If these organs are healthy, this waste in solution iu the water is removed by them. If not, flienatnral action is reversed, and, instead remains iu the blood, but the real life giving eletnei t or the albumen escapes. Fancy the effee! This uric acid waste is a rank poison, and attacks the weakest or gan first. The B.cmpton Hospital, of London, England, shows in its reports that over 52 per ceDt. of tho victims of consumption are really victims of kidney disease, the lung tronble being shown by the presence of albumen in the blood, to be but the indication of kidney derangement. The real cause of pulmonary trouble being so authoritatively shown to be faulty, even though unsuspected action of the kidneys, explaius why, iu order to master the dieaded con sumption, one must rid the blood of the uric acid irritant, which in flames and burns np the lung sub stance. For this purpose there is nothing equal to that great specific, Warner's safe cure. This remedy has won the favor of medical men all over tbe world, purely on its tuer its. We have no doubt that if the kidneys are kept in natural action, consumption and a great many other diseases, caused by uric acid, will not only be cured, but will be prevented. J, W. Westlake, of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, had a sister residing in Michi gan who was thought surely to be going with consumption. She took ten bottles of Warner’s safe cure, which he sent her, and he says: That was the last I heard of her consump tion. Thousands of 3Ucb cases are developed every day. Dip your finger in acid every day, and it soon festers and is destroyed. Send acid poisoned blood through the lungs every second and the., soon give way. This, then, is the condition of things that always precedes con sumption: First, weakened kidneys; second, retained uric acid, poisoning tbe bloc J; (ho development of dis ease in the lungs by the irritant acids passing through them. Tlrcn there is a little cough in the morning; soon, thick, yellow matter is spit up, followed by loss of flesh and strength with dreadful night sweats; aud when the patient goes to his school physiciaD for help he is put on cod liver oi’. which his stomucb, weak •ned al.o by uric acid in the blood, cannot digest. Because there is no pain present in th# kidneys, tho pa tient does not tLiok they are affect ed. but the kidney acid is doing its work every minute, every hour, day and tight, and by and by lue dis eae* of ifco lungs has advanced until pus is developed, then comes hemor rhagt-p, and .it last the glassy stare of the eyes, which deuo o tbit the end is near. A post mortem examination of i such cues ~ ’ ____ shows “ ^ that tbe ^ terrible ^ , uric acid has completely deal roved ‘ * the . ___. substance ,___ ot ... the , lung. It is impossible to cure lung dis ease, when tbe blood is poisoned with uric acid. rOUNCIL MEETING. A Bell Tower Built, also Was Works aud b Cily Hall. There were present at the council meeiing on Tuesday night, Mayor Grantlnnd, Aldermen Hudson. Word, Newton, Burr and Deane, and a few prominent wbi e and black citizens. Judge Cleveland came in later to ex plain why he thought his fine of five dollars for ab.#nea ought to be re oiftted, Tbe petition of E. M. Walsh <fc Co. to be allowed to sell beer in quanti ties not les3 than two dozeu boltleB to private families, was read and re ferred to the committee on petitions. Hook and ladder company No. 1 put'in an application for 2 lanteinp, 2 flarnbeauz, 6 axes, 2 twenty foot ladders, 1 thirty foot ladder, and other supplies. Referred to fire com mitteo with power to act- J. S. Boyntou fire company report ed that their old h nd engine was not effectual, and asked the couzcil to dispose of the engine and provide tbe company with a hook and ladder track. If our present fire system is to bo coutiuned—and the couucil has given no indication that it will be changed soon—this proposition of the company is a veiy reasonable Rod sensible one. A fire engine without water is a very useless thing, and the hook and ladder, beiDg our only effectual branch of the service, might well be reinforced. The bill for supplies for Nos. 1 and 2 firo companies was read and ordered paid. Tbe subject ot a bell tower was then lakeu up. aud Alderman Hud son* showed some pretty designs in white on a bine background, the av ersge cost, with bell, being about $1. 500. Aldermen Burr and Deane were in favor of taking more time before acting upon the matter. President of No 1 Hammond was granted permission to say a few words and made an eloquent plea in favor of prompt action. If the town was to burn up some time while he was out home, he wanted to hear about it before next morning. He favored theerection of a tower at the junc tion of Hill and Solomon streets, with a city clock. Alderman Dean thought the clock would look much better on the new city hall which wonld soon have to be built. The matter was referred lo the fire committee, as usual. Alderm in Hudson presented a bill for $50 for last year’s salary for Alderman Patrick. Mayor G'anrland ruled this out ol order Mr. Hudson appealed, Thocou'.itil voted Alderman Pat rick $50 for last year’s services. The Mayor stated that it would not be paid with his sanction, as there was no law for it. Meyer Grantland then took the floor and moved that a day be named and the people allowed to vote on gas and water works; but after an irregular discussion the council adjourned in the same pro found darkness as ever. What can be more disagreeable, more disgusting, than to sit in a room with person who s troubled with catarrh, aud bad to l.cep conghing and clearing his or her t!iroa r of the mnr.n ..iiicii drops into it?

Henry County Weekly. Tho Constitution’s correspondent teems to have a very fair idea of the political situation in Ilenry county, but we do not think the race for rep resentaiivu wiil narrow down to the question ot whiskey or no whiskey; or that if such an issue should be made, that the race will necessarilly be confined to the tjto candidates de* ignated. Both Dr. Gunter and Col. Harwell are good men, and either one of them would make a splendid rop resenutive; but we must not lose sight ot the fact, that there are other possible candidates who bay® already been announced by their friends. We have it from pretty fair authority that our present representative, Hon. Arch Brown, will, in all probability, be a caudidate. If he should enter the list, will create a considerable stir among the people; it is generally known that he has made a good rep resentative, and is popular with the people. It will be well for those who are making out representative to take into consideration the fact that Dr. W. H. H. 3 eck, of Locust Grove, is being urged by his host of friends to make the race for representative. Should he consent to do so, it is quite certain t' at he will enter the field with a splendid followmg. The many friends of Col, W. P. VVilsoD, of Hampton, are urging his candidacy. Owing to several facts connected with the section which he repre sents, will make afoimidable candi date. Iu tbe first place that portion of the county in which Co!- Wilson resides has not been represented in tue house for many years. He repre sents a very popnfbus seclioD, and being personally very popular will make a formidable candidate if he concludes to make the race. Mr J. A. Cilloway’s name has been men tioned in collection with legislative honor , bnt wo hav« no assurance th d he wou’d ruu if urged. He iB reg ded us one of tho best men in tbi county; and it is certain that the com'v’s interest would not suffer under his guidance.
