Kendall & Co., Gents :-I had a very val uable 1 ambletoiiiau colt which I prized very highly, lie had a large bone fpavin 111 one joint and a small one mi the other. .which matle him very limie ; 1 had him under the charge ol two veterinary suigeons who failed to cure him. I was one day reading the advertisement o Kendall s Spavin Cure in the Chicago Ex press, I deteaniiued at once to try it, and our dmgtiists here cent for it, they ordered three bottles, I took them all and thought 1 would give it a thorough trial, I u.sedjit according todi rectio.is and t lie fourth day the colt ceased to be lame, aud the lumi had disappeared. I used but one bottle and the colts limbs are as free from lumps and as tiuooth as any horse in the state. He is entirely cured. The cure was o remarkable that I let two ot my neighbors have the remaining tw o bottles who are now using it. Very Respectfully, L. T. FOSTER. Kendall's Spavin Cure ON HUMAN FLESH. Patten's Mills.

I had tried many things, but in vain. Your Spavin Cure put the foot to the ground again, and for the first time since hurt, ia a natural position. For a family liniment it excells anything we ever used. Yours truly, REV. M. P. BELL, Pastor of M. E. Church, rattens Mill. N.

WlsIC - To whom all communications for this depart ment aliouid be addressed. In conncctieii with our tempera. ico work, I think we should any ;i word in condemnation of the excessive usu of tobacco. I have heard men say tint with tliein siMok'ng was a neces- sitj, a cure jne.scribi'd hy their physic ians for dyspepsia. This may l so; in people of sluggish temperament and slow habit of thought, perhaps the moderate use of tobacco may not be injurious, but as far as my observa tion eoes. an excessive smoker is never a successful business man, the most alert and prosperous man of business is one whose faculties are not obscured by tlie use of liquor, or dulled Ly the narcotio influence of tobacco. The habit o cigarette-smoking is becoming almost universal among our boys; it is not uncommon to see little fellows not over seven or eight years old, pulling away on our streets at the nasty stuIT in the p:is i ons paper. The man who sells cigarettes to these little chaps must be hard up for business, it is as bad as selling them slow poison, for it is a vile compound which Will sap their strength ai d make them old before I heir time. This warning against the already widely extended and increasing habit of cigarette smoking among boys and young men, should be herald ed far and wide, and made a3 impres sive as possible. It seems not unlike ly that the great evil of tobaccc poisoning may, at no distant day, be come so threatening to the health and efficiency of the boys and young men as to require in 1 his country ,as already iu Germany, government interposition to check its progress. "SOOTIIIXO iYItCP" FOR WEAK IIVS ( . BANDS. Cf all the poor excuses for using to bacfo, the most shameless is that of the man who says that he left it oil once or twice, but Irs wife urged him to t tke it up again, becaufe it made him "so nervous" to be without it, and the wife's added comment is. that her husband was "really so ill-natured without his tobacco tha: there was no iiviug iu the house with hiin." It is bad enough for a poor working woman to be compelled to fe-ive "soothing syrup" to her crying baby, so that she can have a quiet time at, her wass.ing or sewiu.ij; Lt wlu i. ,i,.a io beyond all hope of decency, unless his ill-nature is kept within bounds by his being half stupi.'ied by the fumes of tobacco, w hy well, that tobacco fills its place a great deal better than that husband does hi?. ATJ1LETF.S, ALCOHOL, AND TOBACCO The Glasgow (Scotland) Mail quotes a Birmingham gentleman as having been at considerable trouble in col lecting the testimony of athletes with respect ;o the use of alcohol and to bacco. It is stated that the majority of the Queen's priz. winners at Wim bledon, most of the leading oarsmen, including Trickett and Ilanlan, and the distinguished American marks men, Mr. Partello and Dr. Carver, "consider the less stimulants and nar cotics a human being indulges in the better for his physical health." Of Mr. Partello, "who lately made 224 points out of a possible 223 at long r.ieges, it is said that he has always been a total abstainer, and that lie has now given up tobacco as well. Ser geant Okey, champion marksman of New Zealand, attributes his success to his having been a teetotaler all his life, and to his being a nou-smoker. If for these exceptional achievements of athletes and others, abstinence from alcohol aud tobacco is found to be essential, it is quite reasonable to con clude that both are not only unneces sary, but injurious for other people. There is a noticeable and most grati fying teudency on the part of the me.lic.ii profession in Great liiitiun in the din ctiou of 1 he disuse ot alcohol. A very significant utterance, indicat itiH this liiiils expression in ihr Lon !!! Lancet, a leading and influential Uic.iical journal, which, iu a review of tl.tjrar 180, says: "Alcohol, as a general therapeutic agent, is being sul jeelfril '. 'ei w iiv ie to most suspicious treatment by physicians and by bo irds of guardians alike. It lias still fri nds w ho think it indispensable either to preserve health or to cure disease; but the wisest physicians show themselves chary either of taking or recommend ing much of it. We commend this noteworthy declaration by the Lancet, the leading medical journal of Great Britain, to the thoughtful considera tion of American physicians, who are, as a class, quite behind their English brethren in their treatment of the im portant alcoholquestion, both in the way of public instruction concerning the use of alcoholic beverages and in professional practice. The butter-dealers of Chicago, it appears from the Times of that city, have no scruples against signing a pledge. Large numbers have signed the following: That we "do hereby solemnly pledge ourselves to do all in our power to discountenance and pro hibit, by all legal means, the manu facture and sale of adulterated but ter"; and, fui tliernifcie, that they will not " manufacture, buy, sell, or cause to be manufactured, bought, or sold, or offered for sale," any adulterated butter under the name of "oleomar garine or any othc-r name. And yet, so far as we know, these Chicago butter-dealers, who thus solemnly take a "pledge," are "manly" men. Would they be any less "manly" if they should apply the same principle and method to the traffic in poisonous, and therefore injurious, alcoholic beverages. The Siiewsful Fight of Jllaino In HU Old Hume. Correspondence of tho Philadelphia Press. Eearly this year, and before much had been done in politics, the friends of James 0. Blaine were looking over the state to find some spot whre a distinctive contest in his behalf could be made, as a test of his strength with tho masses. They finally selected the Thirty-second senatorial district, com posed of the counties of Adams and Cumberland: It was democratic hy 2,000 majority, and it wuld seem, therefore, that it was rather n singular place to make a test case ot this kind. There was, however, a reason which far outweighed the circumstance of a democratic majority. This section was the home of the ancestors of Mr. Blaine, und traditions concerning both himself und them. The greater rea son was, however, that iu this place, the meti onolis of this senatorial dis trict, there li ves a man who Is one of his most powerful friends and ardent admirers. His candidacy alone would be significant aud stand as a great deal for Mr. Blaine in making such an isMie. Therefore, this district was chosen to make a test of Mr. Blaine's strength with the people, and his earnest friend, James W. Bosler, was asked to become the senatorial candi date for the purpose named. As for himself, his quiet habits mako the hurly burly of politics distasteful to him, and his large business interests naturally stood in tho way of his en tering public life. But his peculiar relations to the Plumed Knight made him an all important factor in the test case the friends of Mr. Blaine desired to make before the people of this state at this election. The sena torship, as it appears from close ob servation, was a secondary considera tion with both him and his friends from the day the campaign opened until it closed. He made little or no canvass, but tho people drifted to his support upon the direct issue of Blaine vs. Anli-Blaine, and brought about this surprising result. FOU Oil AGAINST BLAINE. Early in the contest the democrats were not slow to observe this signifi cant feature of the campaign iu this district, and at once turned their best energies to keep the members of their party in the tiaces. Through such astute leaders as Wallace, Randall and Hersel, the district was Hooded with personal letters to democrats urging them lo stand by Wagner, the demo cratic candidate. They assured them of the evil effects of electing Mr. Bosler from such a strong democratic district, iudjMi.iasi7.ed the f-ift. h-.t such a victory w'ouu , valuable tv Mr. Blaine. The issue for and against the matchless liader was thus accepted by the democratic managers. - Mr. Blaine at once announced his personal interest in the result of the struggle his friends were making by writing tlfe following letter: Augusta, Me.. October 24, JS.Si. James W. Bosler, Eiq : .j Dear Sin : If I were able lo take the bluiiip, it would give me the greatest pleasure to come lo your dis trict and urge your election as sena tor. In addition to your eminent fitness for the position, I am sure every friend of mine, in Cumberland and Adams w ill be ready togiye you cordial and cheerful support in recognition of the zeal and fidelity with which, in past political contests, you have al ways maintained my interests. But I can only send my good wishes, and await your election with confidence. Very sincerely, James G. Blaine. The appearance of this letter in the public prints left no room for doubt as to the peculiar character of the canvass in this district, and of Mr. Blaine's interest in the result. From this date the fight began in earnest and was carried to the end as a direct appeal to his hold upon Pennsylvan ians. The answer is more remarkable than the appeal.as it shows the tem per of the masses toward him. A senatorial district democratic by 2.000 majority has been revolutionized and Mr. Rosier elected upon the unequivo cal issue above announced elected, too. in thi.i avalanche of democratic victory. The peculiarity and im portance of the contest as it was be ing made, provoked strong opposition within as well as without the republi can party, and the efforts of Wayne McVeagh and Mr. James, the two cabinet officers during General Gar field's administration, vere charged hosiilitv to Mr. Blaine, were invoked and given to defeat Mr. Bo Ier. Yet with this pressure inside the party and the democratic -efforts without, he secured a most remarkable triumph It would stem that with democrats and republicans alike united, not only to attest their respect and confidence for him, but to make manifest the fact that Mr. Blaine was powerful in the state of his birth when the people get an opportunity to speak directly for him. Naturally, the covert as saults of these two ex -cabinet officers of the martyred president, inspired small men at hom to personal attacks upon the candidate, and gave the local democratic papers ammunition with which they sought to play upon and arouse the prejudice of their voter3.

The last edition of tha Nebraska City News wus theSsth birthday num ber, and among the good things it con tained we append the following char acteristic letter from our friend l'ear mitn, written to Thomas Morton, the publisher of the News: EVF.IUJllEKN, Nov. 14, 183. Thoa. Motion, En.., Puhlishcr Nebraska City News ; My Old I'ionf.lii I'm end : .lust twenty-eight years ago to-day your paper The Nebraska City News was born in the second story of the old block house near the crossing of Fifth and Main streets; and some of U9 who wero present on that occasion rejoice with you and Tho News on this, its 28th birthday. This being the first newspaper birth in the then territory of Nebraska, it was celebrated by a dozen or nn wise men of the ' east, .who follov the star of empiro west, ;us well few greenhorns, like the subscriber, from tho south who had never seen a printing ofiice befcro the News made its appearance. The speeches made on that occasion were many und varied, just as the are to-day on similar occasions, however, all agree ing that a great city would bo erected soon, and a country unsurpassed lu point of fertility fully developed In fore another decade. In his response to the press, 8. V. Nuckolls, among o'.her things, said, "the press is the civili.er and educator of the people, and with the aid of tho Nebraska City News the first paper in the territory, we shall see a large commercial center built up here, and the vast plains west of us occupied by industrious fanners, who will make the laud blossom as the rose." Many of us who were present and heard w hat Mr. NuckolU said, have lived to see that all li dieted, and more, have been realized, and we rejoice to 1. the Nebraska City ty-eighth bit conlril a birthday present. Just what that present is to be, is a little difficult to determine Kt this time. If it be a fine span of horses and carriage, they will eventually pass away and tho donor be forgotten. If a five hundred dollar gold watch and chain, posterity might fight and quarrel over it after youtre dead and gone, and I should hale to b-the cau.se of a feud in tho Morton family. Should I enclose here with the requisite amount to balance my accounts, you would likely cst the old le!ger away, buy a new one, and I be forgetten. Ami as you and I tramped down the dog fennel and jiinson weeds together at an early day, I should feel had to know that I would be remembered by you no more forever. Hence I will not liquidate just now. To present you with some little present, which you will ever keep iu remembrance of the presentor, is what puzzles me most, "somewhat." Eureka I I Here it is ! I send herewith my check on the Otoe Na tional Bank for $1,000. This check will not be honored, and you will al ways have it, and when you look at it you will think of me. Your children will not want it, neither will the assessor list it for taxation except for its cash value. Keep it as sacred as you would other little souvenirs, and should you ever become in tightened circumstances, and your creditors press you, show them this check, and believe me, Your Sincere Old Settler Friend, J.
