During the continuance of the Con

* ELOQUENT PERORATION.
[Extract from Rev. Dr. Palmer's ad
Iress in the Lee Memorial Chapel, June
:7,1872.]
Finally, we must bring over to the
uture a patriotism that is borne of
.dversity and trial, more intense and
iure than in the prosperous and joy,
ul past,
Love of country is extingnishable,
iccause it is tilial. It ranks with
4 --- ** 4 1. n t Kit ^ Kn>?n I- j
imt we UW U CU liiu jHUuuiaiiiuv ;
s, and have given lo us their imago j
ud their name. But I pleud for it
iot upon the cold fooling of duty,
iut as precious sentiment of the
ieart. As a principle it strikes- its
oot far down into the consciousness;
iut its bloom must expand into a holy
inKslnn nnd its fruits rinen in Lo acts
f enduring sorvico for the public
real. The best affections for the
oul aro thofc which strengthen un
Ier trial. The alloy of selfishness
urns away in tho crucible, and the
lire love comes forth with a power
if endurance whico nothing c n ex
laust. It is thus wo bear up each
ither the discipline of life, not
hrongh the compulsion of ncccssity*,
lor the cold obligation of duty, but
tith a warm devotion which finds its
oy in the ministries of love. A gen
ine patriotism, is not that which
houts itself hoarse amid holiday cel
brations; but when the country
;roans in the anguish of a great crisis,
raits upon its destiny, though it be
lint of tho tomb. And this land of
iurs, furrowed by so many graves
nd overshadowed by such solemn
nemories, calls for a consecration of
ho heart which shall be equal to its
;rief. Tho patriotism which these
lays demand must refine itself into
narlyrdom. It must suffer as well
s act. Strong in tho consciousness
f rectitudo, it must norvo itself to
nduro contradiction and scorn. If
ecd be, it must weep at tho burial of
ivil liberty, and wait with the hcro
3m of hopo for its ccrtain resurrec
ion. Such a spirit will wear out the
ongest tjrann}", and assist at the
ornnation of a brighter destiny.

EDITING A PAPER.
Editing a paper is a very pleasant
tusiness.
If it contains too much political
matter, the peoplo don't believe it.
If tho typo aro too small peoplo
ron't road it.
If tho typo aro too largo, it don't
ontain enough reading matter.
If wo publish telegraph reports,
coplo say they arc lies.
Ifwc omit them, they sny wo have
o enterprise, or suppress them for
olilical effect.
If wo have a few jokie, peoplo saj'
o arc a rattle-head.
If wo omit them, they say wo aro
n old fossil.
If wo publish original matter, they
damn us for not giving selections.
If we publish selections, men say
we arc lazy for not writing more, and
giving them what they have not read
in some other paper.
If we give a man a complimentary
notice, we are eensured for being par- the
tial.
If we do not, all h/inds arc a greedy
hog.
If wo insert an article that pleases
Ihe ladies, men become .jealous.
If wo do not cater to their wishes,
his paper is not fit to have in the
house.
If wo remain in the ofTreo and at
tend to business, folks stiy wo arc too
proud to minglo with our fellows.
If we go out, they say we never
attend to business.
If wo publish poetry, wo cfFcct
sontimentalism.
If we do not, wo havo no literary
polish or taste.

Summer Drinks.? Ice-water should
be drunk but sparingly. A most ex
cellent substitute for it is pounded ice
taken in small lumps into the moutli
urid allowed to dissolvo upon the
tongue. This will prove very re
freshing and much more enduring in
O O
its effects. Lemonade is a simp> and
grateful beverago. To mako it: lvoll
tho lemons on something hard until
they become soft; grato off the rinds,
cut tho lemons in slices and squeeze
them in a pitcher (a new clothes-pin
will answer for a squeezer in lieu of
something better); pour on tho re
quired quantity of water, and sweeten
according to taste, Tho grated rinds,
for tho sake of their aromn, should
bo added too. After mixing thor
oughly*, set the pitcher aside for half
an hour; then strain tho liquor
through a jolly strainer, anJ put in
the ice. Travelers who find it incon
venient to uso lemons can carry a
box of lemon sugar prepared from
citric acid and sugar, a little of which
in a glass of icc-watcr will furnish
quite a refreshing drink, and o;,o that
will help oftentimes to avert a side
headache and biliousness. Citric acid
is obtained from tho juice of lemons
and limes.
THE STATE ELECTION.
The Stato election takcs^placc on
Wednesday, October 1G. tljree weeks
before tho Presidential election. It is
therefore practicable to separate the
Stato election entirely from the Presi
dential canvass.
There arc, in the State, about sixty
tiiousanu conservatives ana ninety
thousand Republicans. Tlio Conserv
atives heartily support the Liberal
ticket. Tho Republicans, almost to ni
man, propose to vote for Grant. A
sudden change may be wrought in
the temper of the colored Republi
cans. They aro led by a hand-full ol
politicians who do with them as they
will. It is not unlikely that thorc
will be developments in a few weeks
which will mnko the administration
party shako in their shoes. This is
in tho future. Any rash movemont
would bo disastrous.
When wo turn to Stato affairs the
feeling is different. Tho Conserva
tives aro a unit for reform. They!
have no intention of running a State
ticket. In their anxious earnestness,
they say to tho Republicans: "You
chargo the leaders of your own party
with cheating and lying, arid you say
that }*ou will yourselves purify thej
party. Wo take you at your word,
and wo will vote for any upright and |
capablo candidates whom you may
linatc; but wo insist that the
didates bo qualified, by character
. culture, for the post to which
y aspire." This is the position of
thirty thousand Conservatives.
Tho sixty thousand .Republicans aro
ided ; one wing consists chiefly of
Federal office-holders, and is led
Judge Orr, Major Corbin and cx
igressmcm Whittemore and Bowcn.
2y arc all Grantiuns, but they have
icd tho Scott-Moses party with
paring tongues, and avow their
ormination to put foith a sound
brm Republican ticket?such a one
tho Republicans could with pro

)licans, including the bullc of tlio

didates for Governor are It. K.
>tt and F. J. Moses, Jr. They are
it on nominating a member of the
ig. Their candidate cannot be
cd for by the Conservatives or Be
rn Republicans.
Phis, in brief, is the situation, and
t teaches anything at all, it is that
i State and the Presidential can
iscs should bo kept distinct,, and
,t the Conservatives should bo in
haste to move. Th<5 pear is not

made of Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits anil Refuse
Liquors, doctored, spiced, and sweetened to please the
taste, called ''Tonics," "Appetizer*," "Resteers,"
&c., that lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin,
but are a true Medicine, made from the native roots
and herbs of California, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants.
They are. the Great lilood Purifier and a Life-givmg '
Principle, a Perfect Renovator and 1 nvigorntor of the
System, carrying off all poisonous matter and restrain^
the blood to a healthy condition, enriching it, refreshing
and invigorating both mind and body. They are easy
of administration, prompt in their action, certain iu their
results, safe and reliable, in all forms of disease.

and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
inedicine, has any thing won so widely and so
deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this

of the races of:men it has risen higher and Mghcr
in their estimation, as it has.become better known:
Its uniform character and power to cure the va^
rioos affections of the lungs and throat, haw
made it known as a reliable protector against
them. While adapted to milder forms of diseaM
and to young children, it is at the same time th<>
most effectual remedy that can be given for indpr
lent consumption, and the dangerous affectionfi
of the throat and lungs. As a provision against
sudden attacks of Crovp. it should bo kept oa
hand in every family, and indeed as all are sonwS
times enblect to colds amLcoughs, alUhould bo
provided with this antidote for them; -
Although Wtled Consumption 1b thought id*
curablc, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed eettied, hare been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
by the Cherry I'tctoral. 60 complete Is its
mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and
Throat, that the most.obstinate of them yield to it
When nothing else could reach them, under the
Cherry Pectoral they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speaker 1 find great
protection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking th?
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent do sea.
So generally are its virtues known, that W6
need not publish the certificates of them here, or
do more than assure the public that Its qniiHitoa
ere fully maintained.
