Pain is supposed to be Ihe lot of us poor mortals, as I
inevitable a* death itself and liable at any lime to
come upon us. Therefor* it is important that remedial
agent* should b* at hand to be mil Ou an emergen
cy, whea the seminal principle lodged in the system
shill develop* itself, and we feel the excruciating
agonies of pain, or the depressing Influence of disease.
Such a remedial agent exists in the PAIN KILI.BR,
whose fame has made the circuit of Ihe globe. Amid
Ihe eternal Ices of the polar regions or beneath the
intolerable;and burning sun of the tropica, its virtues
are known anil appreciated. Under all latitudes
from the one extreme to the other, suffering human
ity has found relief from many of its ills by Its me.
Tho wide and broad area over which this medicine
has spread,attest* its value and potency. From a
small beginning, the Pain Killer has pushed gradu
ally along, making Its own highway, solely by it*
Such unexampled success and popuiarliy has
brought others into tbe field, who have attempted,
under similarity of uame, to usurp the conlhleo.ee ,1

(lay announced the sudden death, at Har
risburg, Pa., of the Hon. John Covode, of
heart disease. The deceased was emphati
cally one of nature's noblemen. No ono
man (say. the Washington Chrtnide) did
more to arouse the people of the North to
a knowledge of their long subserviency to
the slave oligarchy than John Covode.
Early in the contest growing out of the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise mean- ,
ores he took a decided stand for the right,
and how bravely and successfully be l
fought is familiar to all.
He was foremost in opposing the Le
cimpton swindle, and as chairman of a
special committee of the House visited
Kansas, and exposed in a lengthy report, I
with corroborative testimony, tho infamous
transactions of tho Pierce and Buchanan ,
Administrations and their satellites in re
lation to tho free-State people of Kansas-
This report was published in book form
by order of Congress, and is an important
link in the history of the causes which ltd
to the great struggle of 1801-5. In 1856
Mr. Covode labored unceasingly for the
success of the then Republican candidate
for tho Presidency, John C. Fremont, and
especially devoted himself to aronsiug the
poople in Pennsylvania and New York.
As an evidence of his popularity as a
speaker on the stump in those days, it may
bo saiil, it not unfrequontly occurred that
his audiences made him speak for hours
at a time; and in one place, Brooklyn,
N. V., he spoke for more than four hours
to the largest political gathering ever seen
in that city before or since. Like tho late
Iddeus Steveus, he knew no halfway
sures in anytbiug he undertook to ac
iplish. But rough and even uncouth
c was, perhaps, at times, beneath that
ace beat as kind and generous a uature
.ver was implanted in the bosom of
. Few men will be more missed, be
e always true to himself and friends;
enemies always knew were to find
ir. Covode was born iv Westmoreland
lty, Pennsylvania, id 1808, received a
mon school education, and was engaged
all his life in agriculture and manufactur
ing pursuits, lie was first elected to the
thirty-fifth Congress from the twenty-first
district, and, .excepting the thirty-eighth
Eiirty-ninth Congresses, served con
sly until the day of his death. At
te election he was a candidate
le forty-second Congress, but his
cut was declared elected. The. seat,
er, was, wo believe, to bo contested.
The Mobbed Cadeta. j
jrrespondent of the New York Suh,
g from Poughkeepsie, relates the fol
lowing in regard to the three Piebes who
were mobbed and driven away from West
Point by the graduating class:
A abort time ago three piebes (jot on a spree,
and after dark repaired to their quarters.
The sentinel on post inquired at their window
whether all was right, and was answered in
the affirmative. Soon afterward tbe inquiry
was repeated, and a similar answer was given,
though at tbe time one of the tbree was ab
sent. He returned just in time to answer
to tbe third challenge, and for those false
responses all were reported. Then, accord
ing to the statement of one of them,
named Barnes, tbe first class almost en mant
dragged the piebes from tbeir quarters, and
unceremoniously conveyed them to Fort Pat
in tbe dead of night, when tbey bade them
leave tbe post, and never return, assuring
them that if tbey did tbey would receive a coat
of tar and feathers, ['.resident Orant's son
supplied one of the victims with a coat and
soaoe spending money; and then the mobbed
piebes struck into tbe woods and disappeared
in the darkness. Tbeir absence next morning
was a mystery, and so secret was the whole
affair kept that over twenty-four hours elapsed
before the first inkling was had, and even then
no one could tell what bad become of tbe poor
piebes. They came to light, however, in Ibis
city yesterday, having arrived here the night
before, penniless and hungry, when they were
given shelter at tbe house of an old schoolmate,
to whom they related tbe above story. They
expressed themselves extremely sorry for the
intoxication which occasioned the trouble, and
then sat down and wrote a statement of the
transaction to tbe commandant at West Point,
asking to be allowed to return to the post, not
as deserters, but to resign or be dismissed.
Boon afterward an officer arrived from the
Point, and last sight he conveyed the absen
tees back.
a cadet's ext.anatiox.
A cadet is supposed to answer "on bis
honor as a cadet and gentleman" when asked
by the sentinel if "altis right" in his quar
ters at inspection. By "all right" is meant
that nobody Is visiting without permission,
and that tbe inmates of tbe room are there and
at their studies.
These three fellows, when addressed by the
sentinel, answered on tbeir honor (implied)
that all was right, thus iv three words telling
as many lies; for tbey were not at their
studies, were drunk, and there was visiting in
the room.
I'll wager a sixpence that there will not be
one officer of the court martial who did not
some time during his cadet life help to "clear"
tome black sheep discovered iv bis own or
tome other class. It has been the custom since
the days wben old John Conlin, Dennis
Mahon, and all those old boys were in tbe
corps.
However reprehensible it may be to tell
'' black lies," or even " white lies," yet we
.now that both ladies and gentlemen are
n the habit of indulging in the latter, and
80H*e even in the former, without loss of
character or standing. We think it is
" drawing it rather fine," and that the
members of the graduating class are a little
too squeamish. They are growing entirely
100 pure for soldiers; who, it is well
mown, in their profession, have to do a
;ood deal of just such " strategical lying."
The Piebes were only misleading their
common enemy, the officer of the day ;
and thug perfecting themselves iv that part
of a warliko education. If all who tell
ins are to be read out of the society of
" Truthful Jameses," who shall escape ?

Education for Pretty Girls.—Pretty

more educated by the opposite sex than
their own. Put them where you will,
there is always some man busying himself
in their instruction ; and the burden of
masculine teaching is generally about the
same, and might be stereotyped as follows:
"You don't need to be or do anything.
Your business in life is to look pretty, and
amuse us. You don't need to study ; you
know all by nature that a woman need to

The supernumerary officers of the army
have been formally mustered out, as the
law of last summer provided. Now let
us have inquiry and reform in the matter
of retired officers. There are numerous
officers of the regular army who have
been retired on their volunteer or brevet
rank, and who are drawing from $500 to
$2,000 more pay than they would earn if
they were doing service on the active list.
This is doubtless pleasant euough for the
retired officers, who for aught we know
earned rank and pay too; but the govern

The Theatre.— The "Merchant of Venice"
was played last night by Mr. McKean Buchan
an and his company, and, although the lead
ing actor made some very tine points and played
his part very acceptably so far as the acting
was concerned, the defects in his delivery we»e
qnite painfully perceptible. Yet, justice com
pels vi to concede to him a very respectable
order of Shakespearean talent, lie has been
a close student, and if he would only abstain j
from marring his renditions by too much
''business," and become somewhat tamer in
action, while; ho cultivated a clearer cnunoia- j
tian, we think he would increase his fame.
Although we in no sense recant our opinion
of his Richelieu, we are fres t) give him
credit for bis good qualities in tho other
characters he has personated during the
week. His Shylock was by no means a per- '
feet performance, but it was quite as good at
the general run of business done by the "stars
of tho period" Of the other actors aad
actresses it is not necessary to speak. They
did their best to fill up the lay parts, and we
have no disposition to subject them to a harsher
test of criticism. "Used Up," what little was
given of it-and we had that little long—was
quite laughable, and Mr. Buchanan did very
well; but even hero he spoilt tho effect by
"business" and "gagging."
To-night weare to have Damon and Pythias ;
I and all tho Knights should be on hand. To
morrow, at ono o'clock, there will be a
matinee; and that same evening the "legiti
mate" dramatic season will close, to bo follow
ed, as we understand, by moro leg?.

Tho railroad company alleged that tho tobacc

This important suit was most ably arguee
