' FORNEY'S LIFE OF GEN. HANCOCK. It is a singular fact that tho most eulo gistic and exhaustive campaign biography ot Gen. Hancock should be written by one whose pen and tongue for years have done the most signal service for tho Republican party. Col. John W. Forney of Philadel phia, whoso reputation as a graceful and forcible writer and man ot letters, is so well known both in thia couutry and Eu rope, a pet of Republican administrations, and most of tho time uti office holder for 20 years, has not only severed his connec tion with the Oarliuld crowd, but has thrown all his ability and enthusiasm into tho campaign for the Democratic candidute. The most important service of which is a full and exhaustive life of Gun. Hancock it is destined to nigh rank, as a campaign biography. Though differing in politics, tho author and the subject have been lnti mate Ufo-long friends, and hence Col. For acj has personal knowledge of most of tho brilliant achievements of (Jen. Hancock and of all, the circumstances connected with them. ' Added to this, Gen. Hancock has so approved bis work as to plno at hU disposal liia personal memoranda, correB pondence, official and privato papers. With such facilities the work will be absolutely iull and authentic, the standard on tho sub ject. , As a biographer, Col. Forney will be to Gen. Hancock what Boswoll was to John son, Lockhart to Walter Scott, or Abbott to Bonaparte. It is a "Labor of Love," ac tuated by a grand enthusiasm and carried out with a degrco of ability and graco that will place it in the front rank of American biographies. The career of the brilliant soldier with an army record extending through 33 years, is worthy of such a pen. It is full of event and is soon to be crowned by the more im portant one of a transfer to tho white house, which will make tho book one of permanent value. It will bo sold by sub scriptioa and will surely meet with a largo sale. Tho publishers, C. II. Lilliugston & Co., of St. Louis, Mo., advertiso for agents in another column. CATOOLIC OPINION. THE TRUE VIEW OF THE EXECUTION OF MRS SURHATT. Boston Pllot(CaluoUc). There is one point in the career of Gen" eral Hancock on which it may seem proper that tho Pilot 6hould say a special word, albeit it is to refute as falso and silly a charge as ever emanated from tho brain ot the wildest scribbler in nil Bohemia. It is the assertion that General Hancock lias lost favor among the Catholic part of our popu lation by his connection with the execution of Mrs. Surratt, and this sapient opinion is based upon the tact that Mrs. Surratt was a member of the Catholic church. In the first place, it is proper to soy that General Hancock's connection with the at fair was solely that of an officer obeying his orders. Had we, or any other Catholic in the world, been in Gen. Honcock's place, our duty would have been to do as be did, whether tho condemned woman were Catholic or Protestant, heathen or in fidel. A Catholic knows no distinction ot creed in the performance ef his duty; he quarrels with no man for the execution of his duty; ho has no more sympathy for a man or woman put to death, justly or un justly, because the victim is a Catholic, than if he or she were of any other relig ion or no religion. Herein the Pilot, though no organ, be lieves it voicea- the opinion of common sense and true religion. Catholics, of course, laugh at tho foolish idea that they should bear ill will on religious grounds any one connected, however closely, with the execution of a Catholic woman, but there are a great many fools in this world, and a very common specimen is the man who supposes other people to be influenced by ideas and ties which would have no weight at all with himself in a similar case. Whilo wo have very little respect for any man who carries his religion into his poli tics, we should have nothing but contempt for the ono who carried both into the sac red halls of justice and law. AROUND THE WORLD. A JOURNEY AROUND THE GLOBE TO BE UN DERTAKEN UY A COMPANY OF EVANGEL ISTS. ' New York Sun. A recifTiirm was riven in tho Asbury Mcthodrft Episcopal church in Washington square, last evening, to tho Rev. and Mrs. John S. Inskip, who are about to make the tour of the world as evangebsts. Witn them are the Rev. John A. Wood and wife and Mr. McDough. After each of the travellers had addressed the congregation, the Ohio quartctt and one hundred other persons from the Round Lake camp meeting associ ation sang. Tho party will sail for Liver pool on baturday on the steamer Lne. From England they will journey to Bom bay, whence a complete tabernacle made of wood has proceeded them on a sailing uoat. I ms tab ernacle, Mr. Inskip says, the party will take witli them all through India. The Rev. Mr. Inskip was an itinerant minister for thirty-three years, but tho past ten years he has been an evangelist. Mr. wood has presided over a congregational church in Massachusetts. Mrs. Inskip said she was too old to make such a trip, but she had been called to make it, and had decided to do so. She hail asked her husband to have her body brought homo if she had died abroad, and buried in Greenwood cemetery. Mich a traveling band of lunatics will make our religion ridiculous in the eyes of the old world. They have been "called" to make such a trip only by their fanati cism. Airs. Inskip should ho buried in Greenwood cemetery before she starts. Boston Post. GARFIELD AT HOME. From St. Louis Republican. The Cincinnati Enquirer has submitted Garfield's ''tremendous popularity" in his own district to the test oi figures, and the result is somewhat interesting. In 1872 ho was elected to congress by a vote of 19,1 tr9 against 8,245, given tho Democratic candi datea majority of 10,014. In 1873 oc curred the little unpleasantness ef the Credit Mobilier, and in 1874 it made itself felt by reducing Garfield's vote 0,598. At tho same time in tho counties composing tho district tho Republican candidate or secretary of state received 1U,202 against 8,313 for the Democratic nominee. The party vote increased, but Garfield's diminished nearly 7,000 a woful fulling off, indeed. In 1870 tho presidential contest help ed him somewhat, but he still, in his dis trict; ran 2,543 votes behind Hayes. In 1878 his vote dropped to 17,167, while tho op position polled 10,701 ; a majority of 0,405 against 10.044 in 1872. It would seem, then, that tho much-boasted strength of the Republican presidential candidate "at home" has been steadily di minishing, being less by 4,470 votes in 1878 than it was in 1872. A heavy decline, cer tainly, and mainly, it not entirely, duo to tho scandals which the Republican press insists have no foundation in fact, and are repudiated by "those who know him best." Figures give the lie to a good many ingen ious theories. FROM HANCOCK'S BIRTHPLACE From PotUvillf (Pa.) Standard. ' L. W. Read, surgeon general, says: "I am a Republican, but Hancock will get my voto, and thcro aro thousands more like mo Why, there is George Bullock, one , of tho strongest Republicans in this county, tho owner ot the immense mills Balligomingo in fact tho owner of tho village. Ho has thousands of employes, who live upon his land, and to whom everything is provided in tho way of necessities yes, and luxuries of lite. He, in a word, is a philanthropist in the true nonso of the word, and wields an immense influence. He is a radical Re publican, but he has announced hisdeterm ination, if Hancock was nominated, to raiso a Hancock flag on top of his mills, where it should wave throughout tho campaign Why, here, sitting right side of me, is C. F. Nyce, Republican. Now what aro you go ing to do, JNyce?" "I shall vote for Hancock," said Mr Nyco. Dr. William Carson, ono of the oldest citizens, though a radical Republican, says ho thinks Hancock a' most admirable man and ono very hard to beat. A profuse and many times excessively offensive discharge from tho nose, with "stopping up ot the nose at times, impair ment of tho senso of smell and taste, water ins or weak eyes, impaired hearing, irregu lar appetite, pressure and pain over the eyes, and at times in the back of tho head, cold feet, and a feeling of lassitude and ue bility are symptoms which are common to catarrh, yet all of them are not present in every case. Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy cures catarrh in its worst form and stages. It is pleasant to uso and contains no poison ous or caustic drugs. So sure a cure is it that its former proprietor offered for years in all tho principal newspapers of tho land a standing reward of $500 for a caso it would not cure. Sold by druggists at 50 cents. Nerve Power. Few people suffer so much nervous exhaustion as editors. The wear ond tear of getting out a good paper toll fearfully, and readers seldom know how much vital force a singlo item may have cost the one who wrote it. Editors have often been driven to drink in order to stimulate their exhausted faculties, but of late are using Warner s Safe Nervine in stead. This valuable preparation acts as a soothing power, quieting tho nerves and producing sleep with all tho refreshment that it brings. Bronchitis, a premonitor ot con sumption, is characterized by catarrh or inflammation of the mucous mem brane of the air passages, with cough and expectoration, short breath, hoarse ness, pains in the chest. For all bron chial affections, sore throat, aphonia or loss of voice, cough, "Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry," is a well known curative. Price 25 cents and $1 a bottle, or six bottles for $5. The large size is the most economical. Prepared only by Dr. Swayne & Son, Philadelphia. Sold by all prominent druggists in Cairo and elsewhere.

THE EQUITABLE LIFE t 1 , Assurance Society of the United States. 120 BROADWAY 3STEW YORK Assets, $38,000,000. The Popularity of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, indicated by the fact- that for Eleyen years its average an nual New Business has been larger than that of any other Company in the world, is due, in a great measure, to its well known promptness in the payment of Death Claims, audits rule never to take advantage of - technicalities where an equitable claim exists. As a GUARANTEE of this, and to counteract the perni cious influence of a technical policy, adhered to by many companies, the Equitable makes ALL ITS POLICIES, old and new, throughout the United States. ABSOLUTELY INCONTESTABLE, After the policy has been in force for three years. "The Equitable Life haspaithince its organ ization to January 1st, 1880, 51,882,736, and closed its Looks upon that date without a con tested or past due claim." The Equitable Life Assurance Society was the first to in troduce the TONTINE SAYINGS FUND POLICY, And thereby to popularize life insurace to a degree before unknown. By the late report of the Insurance Commissioner for tho states of Massachusetts and New York, the Equitable Life Assurance Society shows the following strong points: FIRST The Equitable has a larger ratio of assets to lia bilities than any of the leading companies. SECOND The Equitable saved more of its income last year than any other company. THIRD The Equitable's death rate was less last year than any other of the leading companies. FOURTH The Equitable realizes a higher rate of rent, or interest, on real estate than any other company. The Society takes pleasure in id'errhur men insured in the society, composing1 an ADVISORY BOARD OF REFERENCE FOR CAIRO: THUS. V. HALLIDAY, Cashier City Natlonil HHIIK . FIUNK L.
