Five Years' Intense sulrfringCared n lFive Weelm.- ACard from a Patient.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.A lady residing at 406 St. Louis street,

New Orleans, has been an intense suffererfrom what seemed to all other physiciansan Incurable ulceration of the leg. Forfive long years of agony the ulcers wereslowly eating holes deep down to thebone. Night after night, on passing herhouse, could be heard loud screams andcries, denoting fearful suffering. Therasping, tearing pain was almost unen-durable, and it was no wonder she wouldsometimes give way to the promptings ofher despair. She could not walk, had nosleep, no rest, no appetite; worn out,without hope.

She heard of Dr. Hartman, at the St.Charles Hotel. He was consulted. Heridiculed the idea of incurability. Heprescribed PaauNA for her just fiveweeks ago, and yesterday she walked tohis office; all thE sores are healed; sheis well and happy. While she withholdsher name, any doubting are invited toaddress the number of her house, as abovestated.

A Miracle In Oil Cty--Dootors Dumb-founded-Druggists and the PeopaeWid with rzoitement.

From tbs 011 City Derrick.Miss Maggie Martin, of this city, has

bees ill and confined toher house for sev-eral years. Our best physicians failed togive her relief. She took PafUNA, and,to the astonishment of all who knew her,she is now upand about again. Mr. Sim-mons, the druggist, sold x84 bottles lastweek. He buys in gross lots.

A. A. Adams, of Waverly Ohio, writes:"I am having a food trade on yourmedicine, PaRUNA.

James Wyatt, of Steubenville, Ohio,writes: "I have taken a half dozen bot-tles of your PsRUNA, and find it is doingme moregood than anything I ever used.

Griffen & Beam, Powhattan Point, O.,writes: "Your medicines are having a bigrun, especially PaRUNA."

Mr. Frederick Bearman, of McCombCity, Miss., had chronic catarrh verybadly formany years. The disease final-ly passed up the eustachian tube into themiddle ear, and had almost destroyed hishearing. He has been taking PERUNAbut for a short time, and his catarrh isvery much better, and he hears again aswell as any one.

PsauxA will cure any disease.PEZ-U-NA is sold by all druggists. Price 1S

per bottle. six bottles S.. If you cannot get itfrom your druggist. we will send it on receiptof regular price. We prefer you buy it fromyour druggist, but if he hasn't it do not be per-suadod to try something else, but ordir from usat once as directed. 8. B. HARTMAN & Co.,

BY OGEOl• A. BLAKE, JR.Old coat. for some three or four seasons

We've been jolly comrades, but nowWe part, old companion. forver.

To fate. and the fashion, 1 bow.You'd look well enough at a dinner,

I'd wear you with pride at a ball.But. I'm dressing to-night for a wedding-

My own-and you'd not do at all.

You've too many wine stains about you.You're scented too much with cigars.

When the gaslight shines full on your collar,It glitters with myriad star,.

That wouldn't look well at my wedding;They'd seem inappropriate there-

Nell doesn't use diamond po'wder,She tells me it ruins her hair.

You've boon out on Cozzen's piazzaToo late when the evenings were dump,

When the moonbeams were silvering Cro'nestAnd the lights were all out in the camp.

You've rested on highly oiled stairwaysT'oi, often, when sweet eyes were bright,

And somebody's ball dress-not Nellie's-Flowed around you in rivers of white.

There's a -eprobate looseness about you.Should I wear you to-night, I believe.

As I come with my bride from the altar.You'd laugh in your wicked old sleeve.

When you felt there the tremulous pressureOf her hand, in its delicate glove.

That is telling me, slyly but proudly,Her trust is as deep as her love.

So, go to your grave in the wardrobe.And furnish a feast for the moth.

Nell's glove shall betray its sweet secretsTo younger, more innocent cloth.

'Tie time to put on your successor--It's made in a fashion that's new-

Old coat, I anu afraid it will neverSit as easily on me as you.

Thiswell authenticated fact is of itself suficient tohave established a high reputation for the Bit-ters. But the article is not a specific merely forthe various forms of malarial disease; it endowsthe system with a degree of vigor, and reformsits irregularities with a certainty that consti.tutes its best defense against disorders of thestomach, liver and bowels, specially rife wherethe atmosphere and water are miasma tainted.Fever and ague, bilious remittent, dumb aguneand ague cake are remedied and prevented byit, and it also removes dyspepsia, constipation.rheumatism. etc. Take this medicine on thefirst indication that the system is out of order,and rest assured that you will be grateful forthe hint,

GEORGE B. McCLELLAN.Eminent General and Statesman."Little Mac" of the Army of the Po-

tomac died in the early morning of Octo-ber 29, at his country seat, Orange, NewJersey. When the telegraph had made thesad intelligence known, great was the sur-prise and grief of the nation. The Gen-eral's death was the more shocking to thepublic mind by reason of its unexpected-ness. It was not generally known that hishealth had not been good for some timeand that his physician had treated him forneuralgia of the heart, the disease of whichhe died.

George Brinton McClellan was born inthe year 1826, at Philadelphia, where hisfather practiced medicine. The boy's tasteswere for the military profession, and hewas given a cadethip at West Point, wherehe was a diligent and earnest student.When graduated he stood second in hisclass, and frst in engineering. This wasin 1846, when also he was commissionedSecond Lieutenantof Engineers. Lieuten-ant McClellan served in the Mexican War,and in 1861 was appointed Captain of theFirst Cavalry Regiment, and in the sameyear was one of three officers sent by theFederal Government to make observationsin the Crimea, then the seat of war betweenRussia on one side, and Turkey, Great Brit-ain, France and Sardinia on the other. In1857 he resigned his commission, and as-sumed the duties of Chief Engineer of theIllinois Central railroad. At the outbreakof the war he re-entered the army, and wasappointed commander of the Federal forcesof Western Virginia. While holding thiscommand he fought and won the battles ofRich Mountain and Cheat River. Shortlyafter the first battle of Bull Run McClellanwas made commander of the army at Wash-ington. He took command of the armiesof the United States in November, 1861.On May 31, 1862, he was victorious at thebattle of Fair Oaks, but the campaign ofwhich this was a leading event was uneuc-esesful, resulting in the IIO3t Q•fll.e. .1 *eral forces and the abandonment of theplan to take Richmond which had been fol-lowed. Consequent upon this adverse for-toune, General Pope was appointed to super-sede McClellan in command. The new ar-rangement lasted only a brief period, andon September 2, 1862, "Little Mao" againtook his place at the head of the Federalforces. About two weeks after he gainedthe battle of Antietam. In November, 1862,he was relieved of his command.

When, in 1864, General McClellan ran for

the Presidency, he received a popular vote

of 1,800,000 against Abraham Lincoln. In1877 he was elected Governor of New Jersey.After serving one term of three years he

resumed the active pursuit of his professionas civil engineer, in which he held a posi-tion of eminence.

When In Thie Wrong ChannelThe bile wreaks grievous injury. Headaches,

constipations, pain in the liver and stomach,jaundice, nausea ensue. A few doses of Hos-

tetter's Stomach Bitters will reform these evilsand prevent further injury. It is a pleasantaperient. its action upon the bowels being un-accompanied by griping. The liver is bothregulated and stimulated by it, and as it sreveryimpolitic to disregard disorder of that organ,which through neglect may culminate in dan-gerous congestion and hepatic abcess, the Bit-ters should be resorted to at an early stage. Fail-

ure to do this renders a contest with the maladymore protracted. Fever and ague, rheumatism,kidney and bladder troubles, are remedied bythis fine medicine, and the increasing infirmi-ties of age mitigated by it. It may be alsoused in convalescence with advantage, as ithastens the restoration of vigor.

Reorganization of the ConservativeRepublican State Committee.

From the New Orleans Picayune of the15th inst., we copy the following:

The State Central Committee of the Con-

servative Republican party met yesterday,

pursuant to the call of the chairman, in the

Masonic Hall, at 12 o'clock x., Hon. H. C.

Minor, chairman; Geo. Baldey, acting sec-

retary. A call of the roll showed a full quo-

rum present. On motion the Committee ef-

fected a permanent organization by electing

the following officers, in addition to Hon.

H. C. Minor, president: first vice president,

Geo. L. Walton of Concordia; second vice

president, Aristide Mary of Orleans; secre-

tary, George Baldey of Orleans; assistant

secretary, M. J. Simms of St. John Baptist;

treasurer, L. A. Martinet of St. Martin and

T. J. Landry of Orleans parish.

A motion was then made and duly car-

ried that the president be authorized to ap-

point an executive committee of twenty-five

members, to be composed of two from each

Congressional district and thirteen from the

State at large, whereof seven shall consti-

tute a quorum.After an interchange of views, the com-

mittee adjourned, subject to the call of its

president.

Advocates of prohibition need have no fearsof ' PBIcKLY Asa Birras " as it is a medicine,

and by reason of its cathartic properties cannotbe used as a beverage. It is manufactured from

the purest materials and acts directly on the

Liver, Kidneys. Stomach and Bowels. As ablood purifier it has no equal. It is pleasant tothe taste and effective in action.

OUR NEW ORLEANS LETTER.

T'he Exposltlon-Our Frlends of the Mex--caa BHand-Popular Indorsement of the-tads Ship Rallway--Bunliess Revival-Amnausemeunts, etc.

Naw OULMit, La., Nov. 19, 1885.EDrTOR Car:s:

One week ago to-day the North, Centraland South American Exposition opened itsgates for the reception of the public. Avery large nassemblage, one large enoughto give the romancers of the press widelatitude in their estimates, was present inattendance on the interesting ceremonies.It was a happy and a hopeful assemblage.They felt that the enterprise was in a highersense a home affair, and representative ofa new born energy and determination. Itis not a mere echo of the World's Exposi-tion, but intended to be an improvement.This much can be said in its favor. Theweather has been delightful-it couldnot be better. The people are as placid inmind as the weather is in look; there is nojarring, or bickering, and full confidenceof success. On opening day, as is usuallythe case with all Expositions, only a few ex"hibits were completed. Since then car-loads of freight have poured in, antl work-men are kept busy. Each day the Exposi-tion grows, and the space is being gradual-ly occupied. The visitors of the World'sExposition miss many of the unique thingsfrom foreign climes that became familiarto them, but it is yet to be seen whetherthey can not be more than equalled byother objects in the new.
