tat Is th Disease that is Gioiii.? UiiOil Os ? Like a thief at night it steals in upon us unawares. The pa tients have pains about the chest find, sides, and someties in the back. They feel dull and sleepy* the mouth has a bad taste, espe cially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach; sometimes a faint, all gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet be come cold and clammy. After a while a cough sets in, atfirst dry, but after a few months it is attended with a greenish-colored expectoration. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irrita ble and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is Jaddg ness, a sort of whirling sensa tion in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels become costive; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yel low, the urine is scanty and high colored, depositing a sediment after standing. There is fre quently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart; the vision becomes im paired, with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling of great prostration and weakness. Al of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our popula tion has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has been found that physi clans have mistaken the cause of this disease. Some have treated it for a liver complaint, others for kidney disease, etc., etc., but none of these kinds of treatment have been attended with success; for it is really constipation and dyspepsia. It is also found that Shaker Ex tract of Roots, or Mother Sei gel’s Curative Syrup, when properly prepared will remove this disease in all its stages. Care should be taken, however, to secure the genuine article. IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN COTTON. Mr. John C. Hemptinstall, of Chulafirmee, Cleburn county, Ala., writes: “My wife has been so much benefited by Shaker Extract of Roots or Seigel’s Syrup that she says she would rather be without part of her food than without the medicine. It has done her more good than the doctors and all other medi cine put together. I would ride twenty miles to get it into the hands of any sufferer if he can get it no other way. I believe it -will soon sell in this State better than cotton.” TESTIMONY FROM TEXAS. Mrs. S. E. Barton, of Varner, Ripley county, Mo., writes that she had been long afflicted with dyspepsia and disease of the urinary organs and W’as cured by Shaker Extract of Roots. Rev. J. J. McGuire, merchant, of the same place, who sold Mrs. Barton the medicine, says he has sold it for tour years and never knew it to fail. SHE WAS ALMOST DEAD. I was so low -with dyspepsia that there was not a physician to be found who could, do any thing with me. I had fluttering of the heart and swimming of the head. One day I read your pamphlet called “Life Among the Shakers,” which described my disease better than I could myself. I tried the Shaker Extract of Roots and kept on with it until today I rejoice in good health. Mrs. M. E.

GOVERNOR TAYLOR AND HIS VISITORS Nashville, Tenn., December 14.—[Staff Correspondence.]— "Hurrah for Bob and the windin’ up!" Such were the words which fell upon your correspondent’s cars as he entered the office of the governor of Tennessee. The speaker was the governor himself, and his listeners were some of the salt of the state. “I was just narrating an incident of my con gressional campaign witli Pettibone,” said Governor Taylor, "and I will begin it again for your benefit.” And the correspondent took his place in a group composed of a sturdy farmer from East Tennessee, a mining expert with the mud on his boots, a young preacher from the Sequachee district, and several oth ers who looked upon the joking governor with eyes of admiration. “Early in the canvass,” resumed the gov ernor, “I noticed that I was being followed up by- an iron-ribbed democrat, who was old enough to have voted for Andrew- Jackson,and who looked like it. He was thin and tall, his form clad in butternut jeans, a corn-cob pipe in his mouth and a great wave of whit.- beard falling from under his chin, while his face was scrupulously bare of beard. He would se cure a front seat, where he could catch the eye of the speaker. While Pettibone would be speaking the old man’s face would twitch with suppressed dissent. He would pull vigor ously at his pipe, and exclaim, every few min utes : ‘“Hurrah for Bob and the winding up!’ “When I would rise a holy calm would overspread his features, and approving exclamations would greet every point made for democracy. He was a terrible democrat. For a week he followed up our appointments, when,one day,to illust rate republican thieving, I had occasion to tell the story of a west Tenn see farmer. The west Tennessean had a large corn crop, while in the adjoining pasture graz ed a herd of cattle. One night the cattle got into the cornfield and played havoc. The farmer was in a rage when he discovered the damage, and he summoned all his slaves for an explanation. Every one of his slaves stut tered. Calling up Bill, his master thundered: “ ‘Bill, by whose carelessness w’as this fence left down?’ “ ‘W—w—w—h—h—y, massa, d—d—d—’ “ ‘Get out, you scoundrel, I can’t take all day to hear you that way. Ephraim, how did the cattle get in there?’ “ ‘M-nr-m-assa, d d-d-c-c-a-a-t.’ “ ‘Shut up at once, you stuttering wretch. Samuel, tell me how these cattle got in the field?’ “ ‘D-d-d-c-c-o-o.’ “ ‘Damn it, sing it, if you can’t talk it.’ “Samuel was a great singer and never stut tered when he essayed that form of vocalism, so to the tune of ‘Old Hundred’ he broke forth: “ ‘Be cowsjumoed over de fence, An’ eat up all de corn; Bey’s mighty thieves, an’ ’ll steal ’Fore your eyes, sure’s you’re bornl” “I then declared that the republican thieves had jumped over the fence into the democratic corn and were bent upon a career of devastation. At my ap pointment, twenty miles off, the next day, I was again announcing this story, when I caught sight of my old democratic friend. He deliberately unloosed his shirt collar, cleared up his throat,and assumed aposition for singing. I saw that he intended to accompany me. Without a smile, and just as if I had ex pected it, I began, the old man joining in with full force: “ ‘Be cows jumped over de fence, An’ ent up all de com; Dey’s mighty thieves, an’ll steal ‘Fore your eyes, sure’s you’re born.’ The young preacher from Sequachee took down the verse to use on the circuit, while the farmer had it firmly committed to memory. FROM JOKES TO BUSINESS. “We have a wonderful state,” said the governor, turning his attention to the corres pondent. “Memphis sends a million bales of cotton out to the world; Chattanooga is be coming the iron center of the earth; Knoxville has doubled in population in five years; Nash ville builds up from the united forces which, singly, have built up the other cities. There is East Tennesse, with its limitless mines of mineral and forests of merchantable timber ; there is middle Tennessee reveling in blue grass, and fringed with iron; there is west Tennessee with the richest alluvial deposits. Thus we have not only advantages in all th.\se requisites to a great country, but enough of them to trade within ourselves, and never call upon the outside world. We have iron enough to wall the state and provide its armament; our grain fields and hog pens feed the people and leave abundance for export; our cotton region can furnish the raw material to clothe the state, while our rolling mills, foundries, cotton factories, flouring mills and our skilled artisans can utilize all these varied resources, So you see that Tennessee is an empire in natural resources, in mechanical capacity, and in population. “The people of Tennessee are comparatively out of debt. Our farmers are not making draughts upon next year for present support. The increase of skillful laborers furnishes con sumption for homo products. The peo ple are happy and contented, with no disturbing questions. We have had but one of late —prohibition. The leaders of that party came to the democratic party, and declared that they looked upon their question as one moral and not political. They desired that it should be totally divorced from politics, and to that end asked for a separate vote upon a prohibitory amendment. Their request was agreed to; the question went to the people who, by a decisive vote, negatived it. There fore it is now out of politics, notwithstanding the efforts of a few to revive it, and wo will have no trouble with it. The prohibitionists made pledges which they must keep. “President Cleveland’s administration is heartily indorsed in Tennessee. He will be the next nominee of the democratic party, and will receive a largely increased vote in Tennessee. As to the tariff Tennessee favors tariff reform, but insists that there must be protection enough to cover the differ ence between the price of American skilled labor and that of Europe.” SELF-IMPORTANCE RECOGNIZED. As the governor lapsed from the discussion of public questions, into those of minor mo ment a rare incident, illustrating his versatil ity, was narrated by ope of the gentlemen present. A portly, dignified looking individ ual stepped into the governor’s office, and coming to a military halt, said slowly: “Governor Taylor, my name is Erastus Pogue.” “Glad to see you, Mr. Pogue. Take a chair,’, and the governor kept on with his conversa tion. This did not please Mr. Pogue, whose opinion of himself was such that he expected the governor's immediate and undi vided attention. Without moving a step, but putting, if possible, more dignSy into his sep ulchral voice, ho said: “Governor Taylor, I am Captain Erastus* Pogue, the son-in-law of Major Podunk.” "Ah,” answered the governor, with a grace ful wave of the hand, “I am delighted to see you, Captain Pogue. Take two chairs—take two.” THE STATE FINANCES. GovcrnTor aylor had just returned from Memphis, whither he had gone with the state treasurer to borrow moncyifor tho present no < iof the state. This loan v.as made liecei-sary by the peculiar tax laws of the state, under which money does not begin to flow in until February and March, though tlio state’s liabilities ma ture on tlfirst of January. A talk with State Treasurer Atha Thomas developed the informati- n that under the act of 1883 to fund the state debt, tho funding board has already retired ' o/yX) < f the old bonds, and issued therefor in eou.pr- mho Ixmds $13,000,000. Os these latter bonds $11,500,000 are 3 per cents, and the r mainder are 5 and (i per cents. There are yet to be funded $2,500,(XX) of tho old bonds,"of which 8500,000, belonging to the state debt proper, bear ■" and G per cent inter est, while tho two million left will lx; funded on the same terms as the bulk of them havo been, for SI,OOO/100 in compromise bonds at 3 per cent. The state treasury has been depleted by the loss of nearly $400,000 oc-asioned by ex-Trcasurer Hoik, and tho heavy expenses for the new cast lennessee asylum for the insane, and a similar building in west Ten u ss e. the cost cf the two being $330,000. Th? srara Imsprompt ly met the interest on the .-t’.!■• debt, paid extra appropriations amounting to s-LW.OUffi retire,! $800,030 flouting debt known as bank of I ennesbeo certificates, and now onlv owes $315,000 in floating debt, which will undoubt edly bo paid by March 1. Los; than F-200,(W hank of Tennessee certificates remain to be taken up. After these certificates altall havo been taken up, the present rate of taxation, three mills for general purposes, and the privi lege taxes, will raise revenue amply sufficient to pay all current expenses amt the interest OU c..9j e P u ßlic debt. Tho loan account of $315,000 which was needed to meet claims due January first, will bo extinguished by March. “Wo are satisfied,” said Treasurer Thomas, “that we will be able tojdo this. Altogether I think that there is a good outlook for the state and its finances. The tax aggregate for the year 1887 shows an increased property assess ment of $14,000,000, which is the first year in several that has shown an increase, and it is probable that for next year there will be a much larger increased assessment.” WHY IS IT? The statement of Treasurer Thomas that the increase for this year was only $14,000,- 000 and that this was tlie first year in several which showed an increase at all, sounded strange. From Chat tanooga alone had gone forth rosy reports of the organization of stock companies winch disdained to look at loss than a million dollars. These reports have been circulated over tho union for four years past, and allowing for the enthusiasm of boomers, still it looks as if there should have been bottom enough left upon which to base an increase each year, in the taxable values of the state, for much more than even $14,000,000. To the task of unravel ing this problem I will have to address my next, in the meantime expressing faith that there is a solution which will explain all. Pea Jay. IN BETTER SPIRITS. New York, December I(s.—When the dele gates to the convention o f tho republican clubs began to file into Chickering hall today, it was remarked that they wore a more confi dent air than yesterday, when the battalions were disordered and headless. The idea of a federation of clubs centralized and obedient to tho touch of a directing hand was before every eye. About 10:45, the convention was called to order by Hon. Daniel J. Ryan. The chair men of the different committees appointed yes terday then made their reports. Senator Chandler led off with a report of tho commit tee on rules and order of business. The chair men of the other committees then followed with reports. General John C. Robinson, Grant club, of Binghampton, N. Y., offered the following resolution: Resolved, That it is the duty of tho government to p’aee our country in such a state of defense ns will command the respect of all nations, and for this purpose a large portion of the surplus revenue should be devoted to fortifying our harbors, building shins for our navy and the manufacture of modern artillery for the proper armament of the same. Mr. Burdsall, of Binghamton, said ho had a resolution. Tire chairman said: “Mr. Burchard, a reso lution.” That name brought down tho house. It was a resolution advising that tho tax on whisky and tobacco be distributed among the states according to the population to reduce the surplus. 7 Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, offered tlie follow ing resolution, which caused a Sensation: Whereas, it Is the opinion of this national conven tion of the republican clubs that no man who, at any time, denounced Abraham Lincoln, while lie was president of the United States ns a "buflon and Clown," or who ever declared from his seat in the United States senate that no man should denounce Jefferson Davis as n traitor in ills presence and go unrebuked by him, or who, in his official capacity,as secretary of the interior ordered that the flag of the United states should be displayed at half mast on the o Caston of thedeatb’of Jacol |Thompson, or who, ns senator of the United Statesmans'years after the war refused to vote that the 13th and 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution are valid and binding, ought to be appointed to, or hold the high office or justice of the supreme court of the United States; therelbre— Resolved, That L. Q. C. Lamar, ought not to have been appointed justice of said court. It was then carried on motion that all reso lutions should ho referred to tlie committee on resolutions without being read. A number were so disposed of. Hon. William M. Evarts, permanent chair men, came on tho platform amid tremendous and long continued applause. He was intro duced by the temporary chairman, Judge Ryan. In his speech on taking the chair, Mr. Evarts congratulated tho convention on its organization and said that its work would not interfere with any of the established organiza tions of the party. It would, like the “grand old party,” never acknowledge that there could ho choson a candidate greater than the party. Tho draft for a constitution for a national organization to be known as “The republican league of the United States" was presented. A president, three vice-presidents and a secretary and Jtreasurar, are to bo the officers. The organization is to bo permanent. The committee on resolutions presented a preamble and resolutions of extraordinary length, which covers tho entire field of politi cal controversy, past and present, since tho birth of the republican party. Seward A. Simons, of Buffalo, in eloquent terms nomi nated James J?. Foster, president of Now York Republican club, for prescient. General Na than Goff, of West Virginia, in words of high praise, nominated A. Lowden Snowden, of Philadelphia. Mr. Snowden hero withdrew his name from tho contest for president. Loud cries of “Question," Mr. Gardiner, of Wisconsin, moved the election of Mr. Foster by acclama tion. It was carried, and by a tumultuous cry of “aye” and not a single “nay,” James P. Foster, of New York, was declared elected president of the national league. The New Yorkers had erideavpred to per suade Chauncey Depew to accept the presi dency, but he declined. J. M. Condon, of Knoxville, is vice-president for Tennessee, and John S. Wise, for Virginia. J. J. Little ton is the member of tho executive committee for Tennessee, and J. W. Southard for Vir ginia. A resolution by Howard N. Fuller, of Al bany, was the cause of much excitement. It ran as follows: Resolved, That this convention of republican clubs, of the United States, representing the uni versal sentiment aud patriotic desire of the repub licans of the United States, represented by us, re cord Its emphatic disapproval and condemnation of President Cleveland's action in the nomination of L. Q. C. Lamar for the supreme court bench of the United States, and we recommend that republi can members of the United States senate vote against the confirmation of the same. ALABAMA’S LAWYERS. Montgomery, Ala., December 15.—The State Bar association met hero yesterday, with a large attendance. Judge John F. Dillon, of New York, delivered the annual address, which was received with enthusiastic ap plause. He said that as this is the centennial year of tho adoption of the federal constitu tion, he had selected as his subject “A Cen tury of American Law.” Within a century, im prisonment for debt has been abolished in both Great Britain and America, and in this legis lation America has led tho way. Byway oj contrast, he alluded to the modern liberal ex emption and homestead laws of several states and of tho national government. Under tho beneficent operation of tho latter act, more than 100,(XX),000 acres of land had been enter ed by 820,000 heads of families. He next ad verted to tiro great aud beneficial changes m 0 .< within the last fifty years in respect of the iglrts of married women. The principle of the American married women’s protective acts, was in 1870 and in 1882, adopted by the English parliament. Referring to the criminal laws of England 100 years ago, ho showed that at that time near two hundred offenses were capital felonies and that the laws were otherwise oppressive and severe. They have been gradually ameliorated, so that at this time only four offenses are capitally pun ishable in England and only two in this country. The growth of corporations, and of corporate litigation, was dwelt upon at length, and statistics given showing that nearly half of the modern report ed cases involve corporation law, He appealed to the young men to take up this great work, and concluded by saying: Mayhap some young num hears me today, gifted beyond tue common lot, with an eye couched to that wider and higher sweep that will take in all constructive possibilities of the rich and scattered materials of our laws, and be tn fort unate us to leave upon massive, Imparting, ever advancing, but imperishable structure of our jurisprudence some vaible imprint, tome embodied memorial of his genius, as well as of his labors.

SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE. Columbia, S. C., December 12.—[Special.]— In the senate tonight, tho bill which was passed by the house, a few days ago to estab lish a homo for disabled soldiers and sailors of the confederate army and navy, was killed without debate and without a division by the adoption of tho adverse report of the literary committee. This action is duo to the fact that tlie senate has passed a bill granting a pension of five dollars per month to all disabled indi gent confederate soldiers, which bill isnow pending in tho house. It is probable, therefore, that the house will compromise the matter by passing the senate pension bill. Columbia, 8. C.,December 14.—[Special.J— In the house today tho phosphate monopoly bill, which proposed to grant to five companies tho exclusive right to mine tho vast phosphatic deposits belonging to tho state, and to freeze out tho smaller concerns and private individ uals engaged in the bustness, was killed by a vote which buries it beyond the hope of resur rection. In the house tho bill granting a pension of five dollars per month to disabled confeder ate soldiers and sailors, passed its final read ing. The grcaotr part of the day was spent in tho consideration of the general appropriation bill providing for tlie expenses of tlie state govern ment for the next year. The total amount ap propriated is $807,205. The economists, as usual, made a fierce onslaught upon the appro priations of $53,700 for the university; $14,000 for tho militia and various other items, but were unsuccessful. and tho bill passed its second reading substantially as reported by tho ways and means committee. Columbia, S.C., December 17.—[Special.]— In tho senate today the house bill to provide for the submission to the qualified electors of Abbeville, Greenville and Oconee counties the question of “license” or “no license” in the cities, towns and villages in said counties, was amended, after a hard fight, by eliminating Oconeo from tlie measure, which then passed its second reading. In the house the hill to raise supplies and make appropriations for the ensuing fiscal year passed its second reading. It fixes the tax levy for the state at five and a half mills. A concurrent resolution was adopted by both houses extending tho time for paying the state, county and special taxes, without penalty, which expired on the 15th instant, to J anuary Ist next. An extraordinary bill, amendatory of the criminal law, has passed tho house and will probably pass the senate. It amends tho law of peremptory challenges, so that in capital cases the accused is allowed only ten challenges and the state is allowed five.

From the Chicago News. “Papa, what is a conflagration?” “It is a big fire, my son.” "And what do they call a little fire?” “There is no special name for a little fire. Oh, they sometimes call it an incipient fire and—let’s see—well, it is sometimes called au inconsiderable fire. Why?” “Well, I sea your coat tail is on fire and I was wondering whether it was a conflagration or an in clpient fire.” In a few minutes the young man had reason to think it was a conflagration. ‘Tis An 11l Wind That brings with it gusts of rain from the north-east.

Wickliffe, Ky., Decomccr 18.—For about four weeks a fire of considerable proportions beneath tho surface of tho ground lias been burning within 200 or 300 yards of tlio corpora tion limits of this town. At first smoko was noticed proceedidg from ah aperture in the ground, and for a week or more little at tention was paid to it, though as it appeared to increase in volume every day the interest soon became general. It has now become quite a large fire and in tensely hot, sometimes burning with a flame, though generally It is onlv a smoldering but intense heat. Parties dig ging near tho fire and ut a depth ot from 1 to 2 feet found a bed or red-hot coals at a dis tance of 30 feet from where the lire was first seen. Tlie substance which furnishes fuel for this strange fire is very oily and has a gaseous odor, which ig observed by everyone whb vijito tho place. Many are of tlie opinion that it la gas, others that it is abed of coal on firo. Both theories may bo correct, as the smouldering fire suggests lignite, while tho flame that is sometimes smelled indicates gas, or oil, op both. To say tho least, there is something very unusual about tho matter, and it is cer tainly worth an investigation by scientific ex perts. A fire similar to this, and a half of three-quarters of a mile distant from it, broke out some years ago and burned constantly for several months. The present fire increases ip volume every day. It is now, perhaps, ten times as large as it was when first noticed. MY FRIENDS, LISTEN TO ME! I haven’t many words to say to you, but they arc to the point.
