These Liniments are simply the wonder of the world. Their effects are little less than marvelous, yet there are some things which they will not do. They will not cure cancer or mend broken boucs, hut the will always allay pain. They have straightened fingers, cured chronic rheumatism of many years' standing, and taken the iain from ter rible burus and scalds, which has ucvet been douo by any other article. The WHITE LINIMENT is for the human family. It will drive Rheumatism, Sciatica and Neuralgia from the system; cure Lumbago, Chill blains. Palsy, Itch, aud most Cutaneous Erup tions; it extracts frost from frozen hands aud feet. and the poisou of bites and stings of venomous reptiles; it subdues swellings, and alleviates pain of every kind. For sprain or bruises it is the most potent rem edy ever discovered. The Centaur Liniment is used with great efficacy for Sore Throat, Toothache, Caked Breasts, Earache, and Weak Back. The following is but a sample of numerous testimonials: "Indiana Hons, Jsrr. Co., Ind., May S, 1ST3. "I think it my duty to inform you that 1 have suffered much with swollen feet and cords. I have not been free from these swellings in eight years. Now I am perfectly well, thanks to the Centaur Liuimout. The Liniment ought to lie ap plied warm. uenjamin jUkown." The proof is in the trial. It Is reliable, it is han dy, it is cheap, and every family should have it. To the sick and bed-ridden, the halt and lame. to the wounded and sore, we say, "Come and be healed." To the poor and distressed who have spent their money for worthless medicines, a bottl of CEN TAUR LINIMENT will be given without charge. The Yellow Centaur Liniment Is adapted to the tough muscles, cords and flesh of horses and animals. It has performed more wok- DERruL cures of Spavin, Strials, Wind-galls, Scratches, Sweeny, and general Lameness, than all other remedies in existence. Scad what the great Expressmen say of it :; "NEW YORK, January, 1874. "Every owner of horses should give the CEN TAUR LINIMENT a trial. We consider it the best article ever used in onr stables. "H.

Castoria ia the result of an old Physician's effort to produce, for his own practice, an effective cathartic, pleasant to the taste and free from griping. Dr. Samuel Pitcher, of Hyannis, Mass., suc ce ded in combining, without the use of alcohol, s purgative agent as pleasant to take as honet, and which possesses all the desirable qualities of Castor Oil. It is adapted to all ages, but is especially recom mended to mothers as s reliable remedy for all disorders of the Stomach aud Bowels of children. It is certain, agreeable, absolutely harmless, and cheap. It should be used for Wind Colic, Sour Stomach, Worms, Costiveness, Croup, &c; then children can hare sleep and mothers may rest. J. d.

A dressing which is at once agreea ble, healthy, and effectual for preserv- 2ing the hair. i5 Tt snnn re. Kstores faded or gray nair to its original eotbr, with the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, fall ing hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed ; but such as remain can be saved by this application, and stimulated into activity, so that a new growth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will present the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. The restoration of vitality it gives to the scalp arrests and prevents the formation of dandruff, which is often so uncleanly and offensive. Free from those deleterious sub stances which make some prepara tions dangerous, and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit, but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Contain ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy lustre, and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C.

Plon-plon, otherwise known as Prince Jerome Napoleon, has finally been elected to the Assembly, from Corsica, His suc cess was only rendered possible by the emphatic refusal of the Assembly to re ceive M. Kouher, and by the latter's withdrawing his oposition to Prince Jerome. In Califuruia a Daniel has come to judgment in the person of Judge McKee, who decided that the tax imposed ou Chinese laundries and their teams by the authorities of San Francisco is "unrea sonable, unjust, and oppressive." It was intended to extinguish that branch of John Chinaman's business, but Hong Hair appealed, and San Francisco can revel in the luxury of clean linen a little longer. In 1849, Prince Torlonia, the great Roman banker, advanced 200,000 francs to a Neapolitan on a diamond so large and limpid and piercing in the polish of its many faces that none but the keenest connoisseur could distinguish it from the famous " Regent." At the Hotel Drouot, in Paris, that selfsame "precious stone" was sold, early in April of this year, for twenty francs fifty centimes, or about four dollars! A computation of the time required for the for mat ionofa seam of coal has been made by Mr. J3?AVWunsch, of the Glasgow Geological Society, based upon his own observations in the Isle of Arran. He thinks that as many as twenty gen erations ef trees are compressed into three or four inches of coal there, and that eighteen centuries are requisite for the formation of one foot of coaL A letter from Berne mentions the discovery near Sonceboz, at the entrance to the valley of the Bernese Jura, of a grotto in the form of a gallery, the open ing to which was concealed by a thicket. It is about one hundred feet long, from six to eight wide, and from twenty to thirty high. Beautiful stalactites, some three feet long, hang from the roof, aud the extreme end is decorated by nature, and forms a sort of chapel, with columns, cornices, etc This retreat was inhabited by a family of badgers. A Chinese History of the French and German war has been presented to the British Museum. It was compiled by the authors, Wang Taou and Chang Tsungleang, from the European news papers, and is said to be a performance very creditable to the critical abilities of the authors. Probably it will not be in very great demtind as a work of refer ence, but as a literary curiosity is inter esting. The names, done into Chinese, and restored to English, look curious in the transformation. Benedetti becomes Peen-ni-teh-ti, Ems is Ims-zee, and Sedan is Sze-tan. General Pleasanton, of cavalry fame, has elaborated a new theory of the universe that is to upset Newton's law of gravitation, and reduce the circulation of blood and all vital force in animals and plants, as well as the phenomena of light, heat, and magnetism, to manifesta tions of electricty. He rejects wholly the theory that the sun is surrounded by aluminous atmosphere of metallic gases, and holds that it is simply a huge reflec tor and magnet, regulating, by its at traction as such, -t'na. movement of the planets. The most curious feature of his theory is the application of it to the phenomena of life in man, as to which he claims that all vital forces in the human system depend upon electricity, and that he finds in our bodies that precise relation of acid and alkaloid fluids neces sary to the development of electricity. The centennial collection of revolu tionary relics has just been enriched by the addition to its treasures of the actual minature portrait of Washington worn by his wife up to the time of her death. The medallion is an oval, about eight inches in circumference, faithfully painted and plainly mounted in heavy gold. The face bears a striking resem blance to Stuart a portraits of Washing ton. The reverse of the miniature con tains a liberal lock of hair, light brown, freely sprinkled with gray, taken from the head of the " Father of His Country." The portrait was evidently taken while Washington occupied the Presidential chair. On the death of Lady Washing ton this medallion, by request, went to Mrs. Tobias Lear, her niece, whose hus band was Washington's favorite private Secretary. It is now owned by Mrs. Wil liam Eyre, of Newport, Rhode Island, formerly of Philadelphia, who is a grand daughter ol Mrs. Lear. One of the fine charities of New York which is growing in popularity every year is the Flower Mission, which collects flowers from all sources and distributes them among the sick in the hospitals and asylums, and at their homes when they are too poor to buy them. They are impartially distributed, without re gard to party, sect or class, and often carry messages of kindness and sugges tions of care and comfort and love which are more helpful and invigorating than medicines. One excellent thing accora plished by the mission is that it gives an Lapportunity tojw many charitable ladies to visit those thf y can help and cheer. Last year over a thousand poor nick peo pie were visited by the flower-giving ladies, who but for the flowers would have had no excuse for visiting them, The expense of the mission has been only about f 100 in six years, which is another recommendation of it to public notice. Then it gives young ladies something to do which is calculated to initiate them into the deep mysteries of sorrow and habits of practical benevolence. ihe iteading (l'a. ) . M.agle s corres pondent reports that as he was passing the farm of a wealthy Bethel township farmer, his attention was called to a woman in the distance who was follow ing after a span of spirited horses at tached to a large spike harrow. As she approached nearer she was seen to be the daughter of the owner of the premises, a beautiful young lady of about nineteen summer?. She was cheerfully walkine behind the harrow, in the plowhed ground, line in hand, guiding the horses, and when she came to the fence a " Betawoa !" was uttered as clearly and distinctly as though she had never done anything else but drive team. Ihe Eagle representative approached and remarked " that her work was hard for one of her sex," when she replied, "Oh, no; I cheer fully do this." She then said that she rose at four o'clock in the morning, milked ten cows, fed the pigs, then helped to getbreakfast ready, and by six o'clock went out into the dump field to complete her day's work. After a few remarks about the grain fields, the weather, etc., she turned her horses and off she went across the field. OHIO. George H. Holt, Esq., of the produce and commission firm of Asia Van Warner & Co., No. 57 West Court street, Cin cinnati, recently committed suicide, it is supposed, about 5 o'clock in the morning, in the cellar of his late residence, No. 134 West Ninth street, near Elm. His wife, having been for some time suffering with rheumatism, Mr. Holt occupied a room with his son Oliver. On parting from his wife at night, he kissed her, inquired how she felt, and bade her good night. He appeared to be in a more cheerful state of mind at that time than he had been for some months. Mr. Holt had been exceedingly melancholy at times during the past few weeks, owing to the knowledge that he was afflicted with an affection of the kidneys that he deemed incurable; but none of the family dreamed that his melancholy portended a suicidal end. A few months ago, when reports of frequent burglaries were rife, he purchased a pistol of large caliber, which was kept in a closet in hia son's room, to protect the house against depredators. This was the weapon with which he inflicted the death wound. Benjamin Stuttler, a conductor in the Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Central Railroad yard at Columbus, was run over by an engine, the other evening, and instantly killed. In Cincinnati custom obliges eleven street cars, containing one hundred and twenty-five passengers, to halt and wait until a stone wagon throws off its load. A little son ef Grorge Friend, of Lan caster, was charmed by a black snake. The boy could not stir until the snake was killed, and has been very sick since, crying incessantly and afflicted with fear ful nervous spells. A serious accident occurred at the mills of C. A. Walker, at Kenton, occasioned by the bursting of an emery stone, Mr. Walker was sharpening tools on the stone when it burst, one piece striking him on the left breast, knocking him in sensible. The injury was considered fatal. Hiram Garretson, late President of the Second National Bank of Cleveland, died lately of heart disease. He was to have represented the district as first del egate to the National Convention at Cin cinnati. The annual report of the Secretary of State contains a tabulated statement of mortgages on railro ids recorded in the State during the year ending June 30, 1875. The total amounts to $396,515, 993, which is alarming. Among the items given in the table, however, is a mortgage of $15,000,000 on the Michi gan & Ohio, an imaginary road, and this mortgage, recoided in nine different counties, is counted as many different times, whereas the actual incumbrance upon the road, if it existed at alibis but $15,000,000. Eight times that is $120, 000,000, by which amount, at least, the above table should be reduced in order to arrive at anything like the actual in cumbrance on Ohio railways. A young man named ihompson, a clerk in the drug-store of Wallace & Postlewait at Columbus Grove, was draw ing burning fluid, in an open bucket in the cellar, when by some means it caught fire. He attempted to carry the bucket up stairs, and as he reached the top his foot slipped and the burning contents were scattered over the floor. Thomp son fell into it and was shockingly burned in the face and hands. The flames were extinguished before any damage was done to the store. The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, of Ohio, met in Cleveland, May 8, and con tinued their session during the week. There are now over six hundred lodges of the Order in the State, and the session was very large. A blind boy, who wa3 taken into an elevator for the first time in a Cleveland hotel set up the most terrific screams when the cab began to rise, and would not be pacified until it was stopped. He explained that he supposed he had been misled, and was being taken down into the dissecting room of a medical college to be used as a subject. News comes of the death of George A. Benedict, one of the proprietors of the Cleveland Herald, having been connected with that paper as editor since 1853. Mr. Benedict was well and favorably known to newspaper publishers through out the country, and was not of an age to cause any expectation cf his death. He was a member of the Protestant Epis-. copal Church, and was well known in the councils of that body. His career as a journalist has been a successful one. The Herald, it is announced, will remain in the hands of Mr. A. W. Fairbanks, the senior proprietor, with whom Mr. Benedict was long associated. The Ohio Democracy had a warm lime in their State Convention for the elec tion of delegates to the National Con vention. At the opening of the Conven tion the friends both of Thurman and Allen claimed a majority of delegates, but the final action proved the supremacy of the friends of Allen, who was recom mended to the National Convention by a vote of 308 to 300. The Committee on Resolutions presented two reports to the Convention. On behalf of the Committee on Reso lutions, Mr. Frank Hurd stepped forward and read the majority report of the com mittee, stating at the same time that they embodied the sentiments of a large ma jority of the committee. THE MAJORITY REPORT. The Democratic party of Ohio makes this declaration of principles: 1. Htnolved, T hat in the present corrup tion in the affairs of the i ederal govern ment, the public credit has been impaired, and the public honor has been damaged, and we demand, in the name of the people of Ohio, that every investigation already in augurated by the House of Representatives shall be prosecuted, and every new ellort necessary shall be made to expose the frauds ol J; ederal othce-seeters, aud bring the guilty to punisnment. 2. That we thank the House of Represen tatives of the Congress of the United States, for its efforts iu the reduction of public ex penditures, reducing them, as is promised, nearly forty millions of dollars; for its ex posures of the frauds and corruption of the Republican administration, which have been all pervading; and we ask the people of Ohio to condemn them for attempts to pre vent such exposures, and the Republican resident, who has refused to surrender papers when demanded, and declared that a confessing criminal should not be punished; the Republican Senate which refused to pass the bill passed by the House, granting amnesty to witnesses wno testinea agaiust their co-operators, aud the Republican judiciary which have discharged witnesses in contempt of the authority of the House, ior reiustng to answer questions necessary to tne exposure oi guilt in otnee. .1. that we lavor a return to specie pay ments when the same can be done without striously disturbing the business of the country, and to the end that the debtor class may not be .further embarrassed with at tempting the repeal of the resumption act of 1875, we oppose any measure of legisla- ion which shall arbitrarily fix a day for resumption. 4. That the charters of the national banks ought not to be renewed, and each -aid bank should be wound up at the expiration of the term for which it is chartered; and in lieu of its circulating notes, Treasury notes of the Unites States, convertible into coin on demand, and receivable for all duties or tax duties to the United States, issued to the extent required by the necessities of the government. o. that we favor a tarin tor revenue only. S. That on the celebration of the one hun dredth anniversary of American independ ence, the lieinocratic party congratulates tself and the people of the whole entintry in on the proud pail it lias taken in our past glorious history, llpointsto nearly a cen tury of civil administration, without domes tic strife; to foreign wars acceptably prose cuted ; to the extension of American terri tory ; to the glory of the American name ; is as to the most astonishing development of in terior resources ; to such maintenance of exterior power as compelled always respect to the American flag, and it invites the peo ple of Ohio to sustain it in its present efforts to reduce the expenditures of the govern ment, restore old-time honesty in the admin istration of public affairs, and to establish a kindlier feeling between the people of the States, that the bond of their union may be perfected. Each resolution, as read, was received with great applause, and most of the del egates seemed unprepared for the thun derbolt about to be launched in their midst. It was evident from the manner in which Gen. Morgan approached the front of the platform that he had some thing to say. He said : Mr. Chairman and Okotlemkn of thk Cos vkntion : 1 desire to say a word or two in presenting the report of the minority. A Delegate When you have read your report sit down. Gen. Morgan When I am ready to receive instructions from you I will inform you. The agents of the bondholders can neither intimidate the people nor their delegates. On behalf of the committee I desire to say a word or two. The committee was actuated and governed entirely by two great and con trolling motives. The first was to adhere to the Democratic cause, to adhere to the ac cepted platform of principles that were in dorsed in the last campaign applause by 40,000 votes more than ever before given to a Democratic candidate. Being actuated by motives of not desiring to furl our flag in the presence of the enemy, we believe the cause we represent is the cause of the people, and here, with profound regret, in behalf of the rights of the people and the cause of the Democratic party, I present the minority re port. Gcu. Morgan then read the minority report which follows: THK MINORITY REPORT. Eesoloed, That, recognizing the duty of the Democratic party as the time-honored champion of the rights of the many against the aggressions of the few, to express its purposes in the pending currency conflict without reserve or equivocation, we declare that we shall urge against all onoosition. ione from-what quarter it may, measures to effect the following object : -"" 1. ine immediate aud unconditional re peal of the Republican Resumption Law. 2. The defeat of all schemes for resump tion which involve either contraction of the currency, perpetuation of bank issues, or increase of the interest burden of the debt 3. The gradual but early substitution of legal tenders for national bank notes. 4. The issue by the General Government alone of all circulating medium, whether paper or metallic. 5. No forced inflation, no forced contrac tion, but a sound currency equal to the wants of trade and industry, to be regulated in volume and gradually equalized with gold by means of appropriate legislation, such as making it receivable for customs aud inter convertible, at the pleasure of the holder, with a bond bearing an interest not to ex ceed 3.65 per cent, payable in gold, so that the volume of currency shall not be deter mined by the pleasure or caprice of either Congress or the banks. 6. A gradual income tax to meet at least the premium on gold needed to pay interest on the public debt. 7. That public policy and a sense of com mon justice requires that the silver issued by the Governnient.sn.oald be a legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, and that we demand unconditional repeal of the so-called silver act so far as the same limits the amount for which said silver coin age shall be a legal tender. 8. And we denounce the Republican scheme of resumption as intended and op erating, through a large increase in the bonded debt and a sudden and enormous contraction of the currency, to double the burdens of taxation, rob debtors of their property, paralyze productive and commer cial industries, cast laborers out of employ ment, and fill the land with want and misery for the wicked purpose of doubling the values of money securities, and subjugating the mass of the people to the imperious sway of the money oligarchy. 9. That the Democracy of Ohio present to the thirty-seven other severeign States of the republic the name of William Allen, as the choice of Ohio for the Presidency. 10. That the delegates-at-large to the Na tional Convention be instructed, and the delegates appointed by the Congressional districts are hereby requested, to vote in the National Convention lor him for President, and to use all honorable means to secure his success. 1 1. That we are in favor of a tariff for rev enue only. General Morgan then moved the adop tion of the minority report as a substi tute. An excitiDg discussion here fol lowed, in which Hon. Frank Hurd, General Tom Ewing, Mr. Lteislcy, of limn, and others took part. rr- i, r .1 .- .. iue can 01 we counties men pro ceeded, and it had not proceeded far before it was evident to those keeping count mat tne majority report was doomed to defeat. Those near the Sec retaries, who figured up the Allen col umn first, saw that Uncle William was bound to rise up, and as the face of Gen eral Sargent turned to the Convention, wreathed in smiles, a yell went up from the Allen side that shook the echoes. Before the vote was announced the baud struck up the "Star Spangled Banner," forgetting that they had already favored the Convention with it three times. When the President announced the vote he stated, in what seemed a very grati fied frame of mind, that there were 670 votes in the Convention; that 668 votes had been cast; that 335 votes were necessary to a choice ; that the substitute had received 368 votes in its favor, and 300 against. He then declared the sub stitute adopted. The following State ticket was nominated : Secretary of State. Wiu. Bell. Jr. : Juripe of Supreme Court, Win. E. Fink ; Member Board ot Public Works, II. I. Clough; Presidential Electors, Wm. Lang, Granville Stokes; Delegates at Large to National Con vention, Geo. 11. Pendleton, W. 1 O'Brien, Geo. W. Morgan, Thns, U.

Political Items. New Yobk Herald: Whenever the archaeologists discover an ancient mound or fort they always find broken bottles, which proves that even before the time of Columbus the Democratic party was in power. New Yobk Tribune (Ind.); A very simple explanation suffices in the case of the ship Mary Merrit which some peo ple imagined would give trouble to Sec retary Bristow. Briefly, it was not a smuggling case, Mr. Bristow was not em ployed in it, and he had no part in its settlement. Next ! Editorial correspondence Columbus Journal: 'Old Jimmy Williams," Dem ocratic nominee lor Governor of Indiana, is one of the most conspicuous figures on the floor of the House. He is six feet high, thin as a lath, and uglier than Durbin Ward. He wears a homespun suit of indigo-blue Kentucky jeans. He has served sixteen years in the Indiana Legislature, and one term in Congress, without any other known qualification than that suit of Kentucky jeans. Any other suit of Kentucky jeans would gov ern Indiana as well as "Old Jimmy Williams." Colfax declines to run for Congress, explaining to a citizen of Lake county, Indiana, that " the happiest years of the past quarter of a century have been the recent ones, in which I have belonged to my family, and not to ' the rest of man kind.' With unabated devotion to Re publican principles, I must be excused from attesting that devotion, except in the ranks with its millions of voters, where I have found such genuine happi ness and independence, as well as freedom from the ceaseless cares, the exactions and injustice, and the burdensome and wearing responsibilities of public life." A Georgia correspondent of the New York Times writes : As I have already intimated, the delegation from this State to the Cincinnati Convention will prob ably go unpledged and uninstructed. Up to thus time na one of the Presidential candidates, except perhaps Morton.' has been represented here, and the leeling ol party leaders, if tne i ederal officials can be called so, is very evenly divided be tween tfristo w, Hayes, and Blaine. The Democrats seem to have a preference for Bayard or Hancock, though they state positively that they are willing to let their Northern and Western friends select the man, and that they will abide by the choice. New York Tribune find.): The Democrats in Congress are in a fair way to discredit themselves bv the investi gations now under way, far more than they can hope to Qiairrace the administra tion. They seem to imagine that all the people of the United States are quite as anxious as lemocratic politicians can be to prove General Grant a thief, Mr. Williams a public robber, Robeson a worthy comrade of Belknap, and Bab cock a burglar. They are ransacking bank accounts, turning the Departments inside out, listening to the chatter ot hu man magpies, hanging upon the lips of garrulous detectives, getting together the tag-rag and bobtail of the civil ser vice, and setting up a scandal bureau in every committee-room of the Capitol. No story that comes to their ears is too gross for immediate belief. No charge against officers of the government is so ou trageons that they are not ready upon the slightest testimony both to accept it the mselves and to spread it before the public. The Blaine Explanation. [Indianapolis Journal.] Mr. Blaine has made a full and com plete denial of each and every allegation connecting him in any manner with the fraud upon the Union Pacific Railroad Company, by the transfer to that com pany of $75,000 of Arkansas land grant bonds for f b4,U00 in cash. He has called as witnesses to vindicate him the present and former president of the racihe road, Mr. Rollins, the treasurer of the com pany, and Morton, Bliss & Co., who were the fiscal aeents in the transaction. It is not consistent with reason or common sense to suppose that any one of these witnesses' is ignorant of or unable to state lust what that transaction with Morton, Bliss & Co. was in its fullest details. Yet it is. very remarkable that while each oi thean denies Mr. Blaine's . connection with it, each of them remains dumb as to the real history of tne matter. It may not have occurred to Mr. Blaine, or to either of these highly re spectable affiants that the best possible vindication of him would have been a revelation of the whole truth ; but such is nevertheless the fact, and this is just what they carefully avoid. The vindica tion of Mr. Blaine is complete so far as his own positive denial can vindicate him. Hut why leave this whole matter shrouded in darkness? The record of the Pacific Railroad Company is not ex punged. This shows that Morton, Bliss & Co. received 164,000 for the $75,000 of worthless bonds. 1 hey certify that they did not know Mr. Blaine in the trans action. Whom did they know? Are their transactions so colos-al that they have no recollection of a little matter cf $64,000? Bosh ! They know all about it, and justice demands that they should frame a third certificate. Take Mr. Rol lins' letter. He knows the record ol the transaction is on the books of the company. He knows that Mr. Harrison sjiecifically charged that he (Rollins) said: "Its investigation will involve Mr. Blaine." He knows, or ought to know, just what the transaction with Morton, Bliss & Co. was, and a simple, plain statement of the facts would have better vindicated Mr. Blaine and the company, and convicted Mr. Harrison of falsehood. What docs he do? We give his certificate in full: OKFtca Uhios Pai-ific Kaii roadCo.,1 Bostus, March .11. J To Hon. J. O. Blaine, Woshiiuiion, U. C: Deae Sik In response to your inquiry beg leave to state that I have been Treasurer or the Union Pacific Railroad Company since April 8, 1871, and have necessarily known all disbursements made since that date. During that entire period np to the present time I am sure that no money has been paia in any way or to any person by this company in which yot were in terested in any manner whatever. I make this statement in justice to the company, to you, ana to niyseii. very respectiuiiy, Signed, E. H. Rollins. Now will Mr. Rollins please rise and explain this dealing with Morton, Bliss & Co., to an anxious public? There was no evidence to implicate Mr. Blaine from the start except the statement of Mr. Rollins to Mr. Harrison ; and it is strange that he should hand in this certificate and leave Mr. Harrison standing with his mouth wide open lor a further explana tion. It is evidently, the intention of the witnesses in Mr. Hlaine s defense to leave Mr. Harrison before the public as an interested slanderer ot Mr. Hlaine; in short, a liar. Well, the record does not lie, does it? It corroborates Mr. Har rison fully. There is a press copy of letter written by Mr. Harrison, in 1872, in his letter-book showing conclusively that it was written in lo72 giving the details of the transaction precisely as he gives them now. These are facts which cannot be denied. They show two things conclusively. J; irst, that Mr. Harrison has told the truth ; second, that he did not tell it to defeat Mr. Blaine s nomina tion, because Mr. Blaine was not thought of for the Presidency when Mr. Har rison fmt revealed the facts as given to him by Mr. Rollins. We must have some further and better letters from the Union Pacific officers. - " Punishment of a Wife-Whipper. An Attica (fnd.) man, who was brought before the Police Court for whip ping and ill-treating his wife, was fined $10, but he would not pay it, and said he would die before he would work on the streets. So the Marshal got a very large cannon-ball, chained it to his leg, and locked it around a lamp post on a Htreet-corner ; after letting him stand there all forenoon, he next rolled a store box into the street and placed a chair on it, and the man, ball and all, on top of it, and let him sit there all the afternoon, with a placard with these words on it : "He whipped his wife." The man took very coolly and philosophically, and made no answer to the jeers of the boys and the gemn of the people. To be ostentatiously thankful for what we grasp exceeding our proportion is to add hypocrisy to injustice. of UNSUNG. BY T. R. ALDRICH.

Idleness will be shut out at every avenue, and with her that numerous body of vices that make up her train. Norwich Bulletin .- There are many trying things in life, but a man's self respect is never so wounded as when he sees a silver ten-cent piece lying on a show-case ; makes up his mind to steal it ; gently reaches out his band to take it in, and then discovers that it is glued on to the under side of the glass. The growing superfluity of brigadiers in the army recalls what O'Connell said to a British officer when he was being cross-examined. " Well, soldier," said the Irish barrister. ' " I am no soldier ; I am an officer," was the indignant inter ruption of the irate Br i ten. "Well," said O'Connell ; " well, officer who is no soldier " .

A wag, who had wrapped a piece of cloth having the word " Centennial " on it around an egg and then boiled it so that the word appeared plainly on the shell, sadly deceived a Portland (Ct) farmer who took it out of a nest where it had been placed, and exhibited it at the office of a local newspaper as a wonderful manifestation of the hen's intimate knowledge of the history of the United States.

To be brave is to be beneficial; it is in time of trouble that we most need courage, for by it we pot only strengthen ourselves, but can help others. The dross of the metal is always eliminated by the fire through which it passes. So shall sorrow purity and strengthen ns; they are the bravest hearts who go to the front. Tennyson has been ordered te write an cdeto the Princeof Wales, and it is amusing to behold England's poet laureate walk fretfully up and down his garden aad hear him mumbling, "The Prince of W ales favoring galea spread ing taihi tigers' tails the people yearn his return our bosoms burn our love he'll earn we'll tyrants spurn jungles, lunglts India Indiai Ind dia dia," then snap out, "O, 'ang the hode." The Oregonians have invented a pumpkin powder, one spoonful cf which makes a pie. They also have a new way of cutting onions. They are packed in slices in five-pound boxes. A letter writer says of them: "Unlike the scentless black fi-onions, so popular with French conks, thefe loek bright and golden colored. They are moist and full of onion flavor gently subdued. They are war ranted to keep indefinitely. Every ship buys them. One bushel raw makes a five-pound box oi cured onions." Hard Philosophy, but Doubtless True. The Science of H allh, in speaking of nature's remedies for disease, says: Although the doctrine that nature or Providence has provided some remedy for every disease (if we could only find it) has been believed in all ages and is now taueht in all the medical schools in the world, with the single exception of the Hygeia-Therapentic College, we can conceive ef nothing more absurd. Diseases are the penalties of disobedience to vital laws. Has nature attached a penalty to disobedience cf her laws, and then provided a remedy to do away with the penalty? That would be such a self-stultification as no human legislation has ever yet been guilty of. Yet there are in the civilized world half a million of physicians who are busily, but vainly, employed in trying to drug and dose away the penalties. In the light of true science this is simply ridiculous, while in effect it is terribly disastrous ; for every dose tf medicine, being itself a violation of vital law, has its own penalty to be suffered. Hence the maxims of the drug schools, that " every dose, being a poison, diminishes the vitality of the patent," and " we cure one disease by producing another." If nature had provided calomel, antimony, jalap, strychnine, alcohol, ipecac, cod-liver oil, and two thfinsand other drutrs. or even air, water, exercise, etc., as remedies to obviate the causes of our intemperance, gluttony and other disease-producing habits, she should, to be consistent, have also pro vided remedies for broken bones, dislocated joints, spinal curvatures, warts, cancers, burns, scalds, and all the ills that flesh is heir to." But no one pretends that surgical remedies are pro vided bv nature, or are to be found anywhere except in human ingenuity. AnH ncr?iin to carrv the principle to its ultimatum if nature has provided remedies for our natural and bodily rlispM. whv not also against the effects storms, tempests, earthquakes, vol canoes, fires, floods, etc., which some times destroy human peingspy scores, or hundreds, or thousands? Vhy not against wars, famine and pestilence, which, combined, are almost as great a curse to the world as is the drug medical system ? Nature has provided all things for use, nothing for abuse. If we do and can use everything and misuse nothing, our life will be perfectly heathy and happy. But if we cannot or do not use and do misuse the materials of the universe, we shall inevitably he sick and miserable to theextent ol that misuse. And this is the lesson that is to redeem the world from diseases, drugs and premature death, if it ever is redeemed. It is the doctrine of the world's physical salvation.
