'* * Bladder troubles almost always result
from a derangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feeling
badly you can make no mistake by
taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
V It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and overcomes
that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and
wie-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new discovery
and a book that tells ajl about it,
both sent free bv mail. Address. Dr. Kil
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When
writing mention reading this generous
offer in this paper. Don't make any
mistake, but remember the name, SwampRoot,
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the
address, Binghamtou, N. Y., on every
bottle.

Sentiment.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
J. R. Lowell says, "Sentiment is
intelleccualized emotion; emotion
precipitated, as it were, in pretty
crystals by the fancy.5' Blair calls
attention to the difference between
sentiment and principle. He says,
"Sentiment is the virtue of ideas;
principle the virtue of action. Sentimsnf,
has its spat in the head: nrin
ciple in the heart." Sentiment suggests
fine harangues, and subtle distinctions;
principle conceives just
notions, and performs good actions in
consequence of them. Sentiment refines
away the simplicity of truth and
the plainness of piety; and gives us
virtue in words, and vice in deeds.
Sentiment may be called the Athenian
who knew what was right; and
principle the I Lacedaemonian who
practiced it. Emerson says: 4'Cure the
drunkard, heal the insane, nullify the
homicide, civilize the Pawnee, but
what lessons can be devised for the
debaucher of sentiment."
These quotations are worthy of our
close study. There is not a person,
in a measure whose character or nature
does not in some way appeal to
the sentiment or principle or both,
which govern our actions. A soul
that enthrones sentiment ^bove principle
will honor the vile, and dishonor
the virtuous; will liberate the guilty,
and punish the innocent; will glorify
the thief, and scoff the honest; will
* ** - i.? n x* x
wrecK ana ruin a county, ?enumenu
^when not debauched is worthy of
high commendation, but when used
to shield the guilty, to defeat the ends
of justice, or to overthrow principle
founded in right, it is an enemy of all
good. It should never be given such
liberty in halls of legislation or courts
of justice.
Happy the country whose law-makers,
editors and courts keeps sentiment
in due bounds.
? JOAB EDWARDS.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pronounced
it a local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by* constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has

disease and therefore requires constitui-irvnol

THE MULE IN THE JUG.
An Arab Proverb and the Legend
That Gave It Birth.
Who can affirm that the mule entered
the jug? ^
This proverb is frequently quoted to
show that, though one may conscientiously
believe in a thing which may
, seem extravagant in itself, it is better
not to repeat it from fear of being disbelieved.
It arises from the following
Arabic legend: An Arab who denied
the existence of genii once bought a
i mule and took it home. When performing
his evening ablutions, he saw
, the mule enter a jug, and this so
scared liim that he ran shouting to the
neighbors and told them what he had
seen. They, thinking him mad, endeavored
to appease him, but all in vain.
1 He vociferated more and more, so that
the authorities sent him to the madhouse.
When the doctor came to see
him, be repeated the account of what
he had seen, whereupon the doctor ordered
him to be detained. He continued
upon ?ach visit of the doctor to
repeat hi? statement until his friends
succeeded in persuading him that if he
wished to regain his freedom he must
recant. This he diet and the doctor set
him at liberty, to the great joy of his
family and friends. On making his ablutions
as before he again saw the
mule, this time peeping out of the jug.
but on this occasion he contented himself
with remarking to the mule: "Oh,
yes, I see you well enough, but who
would believe me? And I have had
enough of the madhouse." Needless th
say that the genii to avenge themselves
for his disbelief in them had
transformed one of themselves into a
mule and as such entered the jug.?

A ROCKING STONE.
New York's Souvenir of the Remote
Glacial Period.
Though tens of thousands of persons
yearly see the great rocking stone of
Bronx park in New York city, few
i realize that it is the city's most con,
spicuous souvenir of the glacial period,
when all of this section was covered
with an ocean of ice some 1,500 feet
thick that was moving slowly toward
the south.
That pinkish bit of granite, weighing
thirty tons, standing seven and one
half feet above its rocky base, being
ten feet broad and eight feet thick,
came from the far north, carried in
the resistless icy arms of the glacier
that swept over the Continent down to
this latitude, marking its path by depositing
great bowlders as it moved
and leaving scratches on the firm rocks
beneath, from the sliding, grinding
bits and masses of granite that settled
to its base and were pushed along
| as it moved.
. This same bowlder left its mark on
the bare face of the rocky hill to the
north of it, in which lies the crocodile
pool. There the scratches are visible
today, pointing to where the bowlder
stands and telling the story of part of
its travels.
When the melting ice departed from
i the great block of granite, it left it
standing through the ages a rocking
stone so delicately poised that a pressure
of fifty pounds exerted 011 its
most northern angle causes its apex to
sway north and south about two inches.?New
