SOUTHERN STANDARD -MCMINNVILLE. TENNESSEE.- FEB, 21, 189I The Use Of Harsh, drastic purgatives to relieve cysihe lies Is a dangerous practice, ami more liable to fasten tlio disease on -the patient tliuti to cine It What Is needed Is a medicine that, In effectually opening the bowels, corrects the costive habit and establishes a natural dally action. Such an aperient is found in Ayer's Pills, which, while thorough in ncilon,-. strengthen, as well as stimulato the bowels and .excretory organs. "For eight years I was aftlleted with con stipation, which at last became so bad that the doctors could do no more for me. Then I began to take Ayer's Tills, and soon the bowels became regular and natural In their movements. I Am now In excellent health." Wm. 11. DcLaucctt, Dorset, Out. " When I feel the need of a cathartic, I take Ayer's Tills, and find them to be more Effective than any other pill I ever took." Mrs. B. C Grubb, Burwellvllle, Va. " For years I have been subject to consti pation and nervous headaches, causd by de rangement of the liver. After taking various remedies, I have become convinced that Ayer's Pills are the best They have never failed to relieve my bilious attacks in a short time; and I am sure my system retains its tone longer after the use of these Tills, than has been the case with any other, medicine I have tried."-H.

Office Sotjthekn Standard, McMinnville. February 20 1891. , Our report last week had just gone to press Friday morning when the wires began to report the sudden drop in the price of egg3 in the East ern markets. We were fearful of further decline, but expected it grad ually. Friday eggs dropped in New York 4, and on Saturday 2 cents more, making nearly 7 cents in two days. At this writing, so far as we know, eggs are quiet and steady at the decline. We do not look for further decline soon, still no man can tell what a clay will bring forth in the way of-changes in value of eggs Today the market is quiet here and in Nashville. We are paying from 8 to 9 cents hero, the latter being the ruling price at Nashville. The pro duct of the country is always large at this season, and past experience should teach us to get ready for the decline which always comes in the spring, but we are seldom ready Nashville dealers, at least some of them, are rather fearful to take large quantities even .at 9 ceuts.

Corrected from the Nashville American every Thursday evenine. Nashville, Feb 18. The markets maintain their usual activity in the distributive trade, and merchants and jobbers are complaining very lit tie about short collections. The mar kets are singularly steady through out, there being few changes in val ues of any class of goods to note. The markets for sugar and coffee rule lirm, flour quiet, and meats quiet. Country produce prices of yesterday are repeated today. There is rather a dull feeling in egg3 at the prices quoted, on account of another decline in New York. Eastern receipts of Western eggs are enormous. Poul try rules steady. A firm feeling is noted in corn, hay and oats, l'ran steady.

Washington, Feb. 1G, 1891. Mr. Cleveland's letter against the free and unlimited independent coinage of silver did not create the excitement in Congress that the sen sational newspapers have said it did. In the first place the views expressed by Mr. Cleveland are precisely those held by him and publicly expressed just before his inauguration as Presi dent in 1885, bo that a reiteration of them was no surprise to those ac quainted with the man. Of course there are differences of opinion among democrats in Congress as to he wisdom of having taken this time to reiterate them, but Mr. Cleve- andfs ft lends point to the fact that he did not do so until asked to take part in the anti-silver meeting in New York. They say that If he had not given .his opinion in. answer to that invitation he would have been open tothe charge of cowardice, and everybody knows that there is noth- ng approaching cowardice in Grover Cleveland's make up. Many eminent democratic Sena tors and Representatives, in their disappointment at seeing the last hope of the passage of the tree coin age bill by the House at this session vanish, as it did with the publication of Mr. Cleveland's letter, said, upon the spur of the moment, things which upon cool second thoughts they will probably regiet. Mr. Cleveland may or may not be the nominee of the party next year, but it does not appear probable to an un prejudiced mind that his expressing a personal opinion, which he was well known to hold eighteen months before the meeting of the national convention of the party would abso lutely eliminate him from the Presi dential field. "Successful . politics," said a democratic Senator today "are always practical and if when the convention meets its members shall be of the opinion that Mr. Cleveland is the strongest man he will receive tbe nomination, otherwise not; and the rank and file of the party, who want the man nominated that can win, not any particular man, will ratify the choice of the convention, whoever he may be. Let us all keep cool and meet the issues when they confront us. Nothing is to bo gain ed, but much can be lost, by being precipitate." Washington, where both men had many warm friends, was greatly shocked by the deaths of Admiral Porter and Gen. Sherman, one on Fri day and the other on Saturday, and many kind and loving regrets have been expressed by all classes. By order of Mr. Harrison all of the de partments will be closed tomorrow, the day of Admiral Porter's funer al, and it is expected that Congress will adjourn as a mark of respect. He will be buried with military hon ors at Arlington cemetery, in a spot selected by himself not long ago. With the death of these two men the last of the great Union commanders ot the civil war have passed away, and with both of them dies the high est rank in their respective branches of the service Admiral of the navy, and General of the army. , The are certain indications of the near approach of the junketing Sea son coming in sight. Mr. Harrison is preparing to make a thirty day tour of the Pacific coast in the private car of the would-be Presidential can didate of the Farmers Alliance, Sen ator Stanford, and the Senate has by resolution authorized two commit teesNaval affairs, and Canadian Relations to travel around at Gov ernment expenses next summer. Senator Plumb stirred up the bile of someofthe members of the latter committee by saying that he met the committee in California last fall and felt inclined to present it with a map so that it could find out where Can ada was. Mr. Harrison has not yet deman ded the resignation of Pension Com missioner Raum, notwithstanding his unfitness for the office, which was fully proven, in spiie of the efforts of the republicans on the committee to shield him, by the late investiga tion. The Senate has succeeded in tang ling up the copyright bill so badly that it will not get straigthened out at this session. Senator Vorhees, who has been quite ill, is slowly getting better. Senator Hearst's condition remains unchanged. No one appears now to anticipate an extra session of Congress this spring, althongh of course it is possi ble. There is a rumor that the re publicans of the Senate are going to try to rush the Force bill through during the closing hours of the ses sion, but I don't think there is any thing in it.

No one will ever help you as you can help yourself, be cause no on.t w ill bo so heartily in terested in your affairs. The first step will be such a long one, perhaps; but carving your own way up the mountain you make each one lead to another, and stand firm while you chop still another out. Men who have made iortunes are not those who have had $5,000 given them to start with, but boys have started fair with a well earned dollar or two. Men who acquire fame have never been thrust into popularity by puffs begged or paid for, or given in friendly spirit. They have out stretched their own hands and touched the public heart. Men who win love do their own wooing, and I never knew a man to fail so signally as one who induced his affectionate grandmother to speak a good word for him. Whether you work for fame, for love, for money, or for any thing else, work with your hands and brain. Say "I will," and some day you will' conquer. Never let any man have it to say.

The carving of a has been found in a cave-dwellers once lived. under .the long glove hole where Just when these strange people existed has not been decided, but it was thousands and thousands of years ago, and the sculptured glove is of the same shape as the many button ones worn by fashionable ladies of the present. The gloves of the ante-glacial occupants of a cave are supposed to have been made of roughly dressed skin sewed with needles ot bone; but they were worn just the same, and the general pattern remains unchanged. There is plenty of other evidence that gloves are of very remote origin, although none that goes back so far. The An glo-Saxons wore gloves in the sev enth century, but the men were the ones then to observe the custom, the ladies covering their hands with their sleeves. Earlier than this, Norman officials and high personages of that country covered their hands, and in many places in the Bible the word "shoe" is used when scholars maintain it means "glove." A passenger train on the Illinois Central Jtailroad was wrecked one mile from Medina, "West Tennessee, early Thursday morning. The pas senger train was thrown from the track by a broken rail, and a freight following close behind crashed into the coach. Several persons were se verely wounded, but none killed outright.
