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.

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. Leesyille, Feb. 8. 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.

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.? Cairo (Egypt) Sphinx. 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 York Herald.
