The Cincinnati Commercial has
commenced its aunua! attack upon
the country press. We expect to see
enthusiastic hot injudicious "country
roosters" as that paper calls them,
abase the Commercial soondly, thus
giving it the advertisement it is seek
ing. The Norwalk BcjUcior has been
made the largest county paper in
Ohio. . It is neatly got up and shows
enterprise.'
There are two things we don't like
about it, to-wit Eight page county
papers are counted a nuisance for their
inconvenience, and for live publishers
In a good town like Xorwalk to get
half the paper publUbed in Milwaukee
is not business-like and it don't suit

.We hope to see a large attendance
from this section.
It Is not right to charge Congres
sionai sins of omission and commis
sion opou the Republican members of
the House of Representatives wholly.
At least the New York World says so,
ana it ought to be good authority on
that point Hear what it says :
In the present House are 105 Deni
1, rti'e members to 138 Republicans,
n4 as the latter, relying on their
' trer.etb, are often lax in attendance,
a little vigilance on the part of the
former could often accomplish ad
mirable results. To the contrary of
this, the cry that "many of the Dem
ocrats were absent" is the almost in
variable sequence to each new act of
protectionist aggression.. Ls- weeK
for instance, there were one Hundred
and ninety members in the House
when a noble opportunity occurred to
cut down the tariff. Of the 190 there
were about 13ft Republicans, and
twenty-six of th?se came over to the
Democratic side, leaving the voU 104
high tariff and S6 low tariff; aud had
the thirty-four Democratic members
then aacking peanuts and grinning
at the circus been in their seats voting
with their more faithfnl associates low
tariff would have carried it by 120 to
104. Men who render audi disasters
possible can only be properly punished
for their absenteeism by iudignant
and betrayed constituencies giving
them an indefinite leave of
absence from public ailairs. They
violate the Implied trust with which
tttey have been honored, and do not
deserve a return to the seats they now
shamelessly fail to nil.
The New York Tribune is getting
on finely. It will be able to teach
pare, undultereted Democracy before
long. Hear what it says of the late
New York Democratic Convention:
Triumph is in the air. Scarcely has
the man who preferred Grant and par
ty to Reform and Liberal Republican
ism been defeated in Connecticut, till
word comes from Rochester that the
Democracy of the Empire State has
fairly and enthusiastically committed
itsel. to the Cincinnati platform. It
thus pute behind it the whole record
of tbe war, accepts the work of the
war as final (Constitutional Amend
ments, Negro Suffrage, and all), lifts
itself from the slough of continuous
and uerved defeat, aud turns hope
fully toward the problems of the
Future. We reckon this one of the
most assuring tokens of victory in
November; but whatever may come
then, it Is a victory, not for a party,
but for the whole Country, now. We
know no spectacle which the non
partisan patriot will more joyously
contemplate than the absolute accept
ance by the Democracy of the
beneficent principles of the new de.
c'aration of Independence at Cincin
nati.. ; p -
': SofarastheDemocracycommjtting
themselves to the Cincinnati move
ment is concerned, they merely
agreed that their delegates at
Baltimore should da what was to
tbe bent interest of the party. The
enthusiasm was of a character evinc
ed by a small boy, ttking a dose of
castor oil only in the case of the De
mocracy, they did not take the do9e
prefer! for them but fixed up a policy
platform that really means that suc
cess alone Is what they are seeking.
The reference to the defeat of Hawley
by Ferry, for Senator in Connecticut,
is intended to deceive. Hawley a
staunch jfepubilcau, as is also Ferry.
iNC'ther will have anything to
do with the Cincinnati trickery
or Ureeley. The Tribune devotes
nearly five columns to the report of
the Convention, and has ouly good
word's for the men It used to scourge
in Its honest days.
PROPOSES TO VOMIT.
Dmi. Vfj Voorhes, or .Indiana, who
has long stood as a leading Demo
crat, and is an able man, sickens
at his stomach, even to vomiting, at
the iliocgfcts of Greeley. Here is
letter he writes to Capt J. C. Briggs,
rrosecutor of t it Terrs Haute Court
Washixto-V, T. C, May 17.
uwiT t;aptain: - lour favor is at
hand. The idea that I would under
any circumstances support Grant
-eems too ridiculous for serious con-
ixauicuon. lue statements to that
effect are maliciously and absurdly
false. The reason why I will not sun
port Greeley is that be is no better
than Grant in any respect and on
some points he is worse. This was
my meaning when speaking in the
bouse. No honest and intelligent
Democrat can support either Grant or
Greeley without first abandoning his
principles. Fire and water can min-
fle more easily and consistently -than
could become an adherent of them.
I shall stand by my sincere and lifel
long principles. If I did otherwise I
woula be a dishonest man, unworthy
of my own respect or the respect of
anybody else. If ftwr this cause I am
to be condemned, I am entirely con
tent I would not take any other
course for ail tho honors the world
has to give, I believe, however, that
th . great national Democrat party
win not. commit a disgraceful suicide
at Baltimore on the 8th of Julv.
believe it will be guided bv nriucinle
and honor and present candidates for
whom the true and honest masses of
the Democracy can vote with self-re
spect. I shall lahor to bring about
such a result Others are laboring to
nominate Greeley, the most odious
. man to the Democratic party in the
United States. I am willing that the
public nsaytudge between them and
me and determine who has been true
to himself, to his party and to his
convictions.

The Arkansas .Republican fctate
Convention met and adjourned on
the 17th. It wis largely attended,
every county except five being repre
sented. The State and National Ad
ministrations were endorsed, and the
delegates to Philadelphia were in
structed to vote for the re-nomination
of Gen. Grant
Horace Greeley having withdrawn
from the Tribune, that paper announ
ces that it will be an organ never
more. That Bounds like a dab at the
philosophical farmer, and intimates
that the paper has always been an or
gan. The principles generally that
the Tribune has advocated have been
good, and now we suppose that it In
tends to drop all principle and advo
cate nothing or Greeley's election.
The internal revenue receipts for
the fiscal year to date amount to $1 13,
863,1.50.
There are two Republican papers in
Illinois that support Greeley, and oue
In Ohio. Very refreshing to Horace.
Any one that believes that Horace
Greeley's "absolute" withdrawal from
the Tribune means anything, are pos
sessed of a confidence in human na
ture that is delightful. Horace will
control the paper as usual, and al
though it is "an organ nevermore,''
it will grind for its matter without a
change of tune.
Greeley expects the Irish vote.
Here Is what the New York Irish
American has to say: "We have al
ways been Democrats; we are so
from conviction ; and we should be
d ishonest if we professed to believe in
any other political doctrine. But we
can tell onr Boston censor that we op
pose Mr. Greeley on principle alone;
and there is so little of the "partisan"
about us that if from the motives of
expediency which seem to be the on
ly arguments offered to justify such
treachery the Baltimore Convention
should attempt to foist the Cincinnati
ticket on the American Democracy,
so far from being bound to support it,
we should oppose the unnatural alli
ance an firmly as we do now, and de
nounce it as an act of political suicide,
which nothing in the circumbtances
of the party could justify or palliate.
Defeat in a good cause is preferable to
the abandonment of principle."
Should Greeley and Brown be elec
tedwhich will be the case when the
sun rises in the night the pestiferous
Blair would run the government
Brown is tied to the Blairs, and Gree
ley would be as soft clay in their
bands.
The Democratic leaders here, who
are trying to get the masses to sup
port Greeley under certain contingen
cies, don't make much headway.
The masses huve memories, and, un
like the leaders, have no eyes on the
offices.
The Democracy at Baltimore will
not adopt Greeley. The signs are not
right and they dare not do It
This is a little Ilea in the ear of
Greeley. It is a resolution adopted at
a meeting of colored men in Columbus
on the 16th. It is much in little : "Re
solved, That we are opposed to the
elevation of Mr. Greeley to the Presi
dency, because, whatever the designs
of those originating the movement,
its effect will be the restoration of
Democratic party to power; further
more, such a return from good to bad
would result in the repeal of Con
gressional legislation upon which the
enforcement of the Fouiteeuth and
Fifteenth Amendments depend. With
regard to the tariff, Mr. Greeley has
already declared that in the event of
his election he would sign all bills
presented to him by Congress, wheth-
he approved of them or not. As Mr.
Greeley's hrgh-tariff notions are dear
to him, and ante-date the birth of his
devotiou to the liberties of the color
ed man, he would not scruple to sign
bills directly antagonistic to our most
cherished rights. Judging Mr. Gree
ley from published declarations; and
regarding him as altogether too
whimsical to fill the Executive chair
of the Nation, we will proceed, as
soon as practicable, to prove to Mr,
Greeley and the Liberals what we
know about voting the Regular Re
publican ticket."
The Cincinnati Commercial is not
doing Its duty by Gen. Grant's rela
tives. It has not had a paragraph
about their holding all the offices for
several days. What does it portend
It is reported that Robert Bonner
has been offered $25,000 for his colt
Startle, and has refused it Vauder-
bilt Is said to have offered $0,0r0.
Tho Democracy are "waitinir and
watching over the border" to pounce
upon Greeley if hedevelopes&trengtu;
while he Greeley and his sore heads
are in a similar attitude towards the
Democracy. Neither will pounce and
both will be very sick next Novem
ber.
Democratic papers are in the cheer
ful predicament of being afraid to say
their souls are their own, until after
the meeting of the Democratic Con
vention at Baltimore. It is amusing
to see the grimaces of those who have
been in the habit of speaking out
Here ia some more Greeley pap for
the Democracy. Horace Greeley
made an address last fall before the
Trumbull County Agricultural Socie
ty. He is doubtless sorry for it. In
that speech he said : " I saw, the
other day, a suggestion that I would
probably be the best Democratic can
didate to run against General Grant
for President I thought that about
the most absurd thing I ever heard
read. If the Democratic party
were called upon to decide between
Grant and myself, I kuow that their
regard for what they must call prin
ciple would induce nine-tenths of
them to vote against me. Why? I
am a decided enemy of that party,
even in its most respectable aspects."
Potato bugs will be thick this year
and will injure the potato crop. From
this we argue that the Democracy will
not visit us with two scourges in one
year. The Advertiser is fearful that
if Greeley is adopted, that it will dis
organize the party In this country.
Yet it lacks independence and dare not
oppose Greeley.
The Nation, the organ of Con
servatives, Liberals, Democrats, and,
'Sore Heads" in general, dares
speak disrespectfully of the glorious
and gushing Cincinnati plsrform
and furnishes the following facts in
support of its position :
"The Cincinnati platform, which
was considered of so much importance
inasmuch as it promised to furnish
the foundation of a new party, and
which forty astute gentlemen labored
over for twenty-four hours, was first
beard by about 650 of the 714 dele
irates composing the Convention just
one minute bv the clock before the
Chairman declared it adopted. We
donbt very much whether, when the
affirmative yell died out, five per
cent of those present had any clear
Idea of what it contained."

New York Wool Market.
The New York Economist and Dru
Goods Reporter, in a lengthy article
on the wool market, thus speaks of
the prospect of a firm tendency in
prices, and of the in-coming crop :
The phrase "between hay and irrass"
expresses the present condition f the
wool marKet exactly, lne old wool
has been used up and the new has not
come to hand, .banners are busy
with planting, and no wool is yet be
ing shorn in the Central and North
ern States, except in Kentucky. In
California and Texas the wool is now
all off" the sheep's back, and a few
small lots have been shipped to New
York. The Texas clip is small this
year, and as the wool appears to be in
(rood condition, it will doubtless sell
about as fat as received. It is bring
ing from 55 to 00c.
The California clip is larger than
last year, and is being slowly bought
i from the farmers by San Framisdo
dealers who hold it at high figLres.
Such lots as have come to market
have been short and mushy and are
doubtless no sample of tSfe bulk of
the clip. It is understood, however,
that the staple this season although
sound, is short and that tbe fat feed
of the past Winter has charged it
more heavily with grease than usual.
It is useless to attempt to calculate
what the price will be, but we will
venture the opinion that what little
Ohio wool there is now on the mar
ket can be bought cheaper to-day than
the same wool can be laid down bere
from Ohio six weeks hence.
In England, where in a much
higher latitude the equableness of the
climate permits earner sneanng than
here, the new clip is being sold at
from 2 to 5 per cent, above the closing
prices of the old. No doubt the same
thing win appear nere in aue season.
In view of these facts the wool
market presents a quiet aspect at
present everywhere. The reason is
obvious : Old 6tocks are cleaned out,
and there is out little desirable wool
offering, while the near approach of
our new clip of fleece wool makes a
(tear almost of every one interested
in the staple apart from the farmer.
The decline in wool recently affords
no adequate idea of values. It is just
like the odds and ends of fancy wool
ens closed out every season, or it may
be owing to the interest involved.
All are more or less interested in
breaking the value of the staple just
now, previous to laying in new sup
plies for tne season, lo enect tins,
small parcels are sometimes forced to
sale at intrinsically low figures, and
these are given to tne 1'ress as prices
current, when the fact ts the wools
offering are lacking in classification
and desirability.
Our manufacturers, tnereiore, are
wholly dependent on foreign wools.
Australian. Cape aLd River Platte
are the selections most sought after,
but the latter has been the "Dolly
Varden" of the trade until the shrink
age was found greater than anticipa
ted, and prices dropped off a little.
Cape wools, too, have fallen off in
price from the highest rates, but they
are beginning to attract attention
this week, and are the cheapest wools
now on sale at 45c for good selections.
Nor could any desirable Cape be laid
down here below this figure, at the
present rate of gold.
On the whole our market was never
so scantily supplied with wool ia
this season as it is at present, and the
same is mostly true of the markets of
the world. We shall commence the
wool year with stocks sold clean up,
aud farmers less anxious to take 75c
for fine Ohio fleeces thau they werej
half a dollar last year.

MR. GREELEY'S REPLY.
NEW YORK, May 20.
;
,
Gextlemex : I have chosen not to
answer your letter of the 3d inst. un
til 1 could learn now tne or. ui
your Convention was received in an
parts ot our great country, aui juuye
whether that work was approved and
ratified by the masses of our fellow
citizens. Their response lias irom
day today reached me through tele-
grams, letters ana comments oi juui
nalists, independent of official patron
age, and indifferent to the 6miles and
favors of power. Their number and
character, tbe unconstrained, unpur
chased, unsolicited utterances satisfy
me mat tne movement wmuu wuuu
expression at Cincinnati, has receiv
ed the stamp of public approval, and
bas been nailed by a majority oi our
countrymen as the harbinger oi a
better day lor tne iiepuonc.
I do not misinterpret this approval
as especially complimentary to my
self, nor to even the chivalrous and
Justly esteemed gentleman with
whose name 1 tbanK your conven
tion for associating mine. . I receive
and welcome it as a spontaneous and
deserved tribute to that admirable
platform of principles wherein your
Convention so truly, so lucidly, and
so forcibly set forth tne convictions
which impelled and the purposes
which guided its course. A platform
which casting behind it the wreck
and rubbish of worn out contentions,
and by-gone feuds, embodies in fit
and few words the needs and aspira
tions of to-day. Though thousands
stand ready to comdemn your every
act hardly a syllable of criticism, or
cavil has been aimed at your plat
form, of which the substance may
faialy be epitomized as follows :
1st All political rights and fran
chises which have been acquired
through our late bloody convulsion
must and shall be guaranteed, main
tained, enjoyed, and respected ever
more. 2d. All the political regrets and
franchises which have been lost
through that convulsion should and
must be promptly restored and re
established so that there shall be
henceforth no proscribed clas9 and no
disfranchised caste within the limits
of our Union, where a long estranged
people shall reunite and fraternize on
the broad basis of universal amnesty,
with impartial suSrage; that subject
to our solemn constitutional ouuga
tion to maintain equal risrhfci to all
citizens, all policy should aim at local
self-government, and not centraliza
on ; that civil authority should be
upreme over the military ; that the
writ of Habeas Coram should be
jealously upheld, as the safeguard of
personal ireeoom ; mat inuiviuuai
citizens should eDjoy the largest lib
erty consistent with public order, and
that there shall be no federal suover
sion of the internal policy of the sev
eral States and municipalities, but
that each shall be left free to inforce
its rights and promote the well being
of its inhabitants, by such means as
the judgment of the people snail
prescribe.
4th. There shall be a real and not
merely an assimulated reform in the
civil service of the Republic, to which
end it is indispensable that the chief
dispenser cf its vast official patronage
sbould be snieuted irom mo main
temptation to use his power selfishly.
by a rule forbidding and precluding
5lh. That the raising ot revenue,
whether by tariff or otherwise, shall
be recognized and treated as the peo
ple's immediate business, to be shaped
and directed by them, through their
representative in Congress, whose
action thereon the President must
neither overrule by his veto, attempt
to dictate, nor presume to punish by
bestowine office only on those who
asreewith him, or withdrawing it
from those who do not.
6th. That public lands must be sa
credly reserved for occupation ana
acquisition by cultivatois, and not
recklessly squandered on projectors of
railroads for which our people nave
no present need, the premature con
struction of which is annually plung
ing into deeper and deeper absyses
of foreign indebtedness.
7th. That the achievement of those
grand purposes of universal benefi
cence is expected and sought at the
hands of all who approve them,
irrespective of past affiliations.
8th. That the public faith must at
all hazards be maintained, and the
national credit preserved.
9th. That the patriotic devotedness
and inestimable services of our fellow
citizens who as soldiers and sailors
upheld the flag and maintained the
unity of the Republic, shall ever be
gratefully remembered and honorably
requited.
These propositions, so ably aud for
cibly presented in the platform of
your Convention, have already fixed
the attention and commanded the
assent of a majority of our country
men who joyfully adopt them as I do,
as the basis of true beneficent national
reconstrution, of a new departure
from the jealousuess, stripes, and
hates, which have no longer an ade
quate motive or even a plausible pre
text, iuto an atmosphere of peace,
fraternity, and mutual good will. In
vain do the drill sergeants of decay
ing organizations flourish menacingly
their truncheons and angrily insist
that the files shall be closed, and
straightened. In vain do the whip-pers-in
of parties once vital, because
rooted in the vital needs of yore pro
test against straying and bolting,
denounce men no wise their inferiors,
as traitors and renegades, and tl-reat-eh
them with .'nfamy and ruin.
I am confident that the American
people have already made your cause
theirownand fully resolved that their
brave hearts and strong arms shall
bear.it on to triumph ia the faith, and
with a destined understanding that if
elected I shall be President not of a
party, but the whole people, I aceept
your nomination in confident trust
that the mass of our countrymen,
North and South, are eager to clasp
bands across the bloody chasm, which
has too long divided them, forget
ing that they have been enemies, in
the joyful consciousness that tl ey are
and must henceforth remain breth
ren. Yours, gratefully,
HORACE GREELEY.

THE COLORED VOTE.
A letter to tb Gazette says :
CLEVELAND, MAY 17.
I herewith drop a few lines to you
to let you know bow the colored peo
ple in the Western Iteserve stand on
the next presidential election. They
all stand for U. S. Grant, or the nom
inee of the Philadelphia convention.
I have conversed with a good many,
and they all generally say they can
not go for what I know about farming
Horace Greeley, for certain reasons,
and one of the principal reasons is,
that he went old Jeff Davis' bail, and
that is enough to put any nation
against a man. We in Cleveland
and the entire Eighteenth District,
composed largely of colored people,
will go a unit for Grant or the Phila
delphia nominee, aud we want all
Greeleyites to understand it, so they
need not bother themselves for our
votes in this part of the country.
We are ortranizing Graut clubs all
over the Western Reserve, and we i
will use all our eflorts to eject the
whole Philadelphia ticket,

[From the Toledo Blade, May 16th.]
The Daughter of a Well Known Citizen
Shoots Herself Witch a Pistol.
It is our sad task to chronicle one of
those strange and sorrowful occur
rences that occasionally startle every
community, ana wnicu bring in one
brief moment desolation tosomehith
erto happy family circle. To-day
shortly alter i o'ciock, as the lam
ily of Paul Jones, Ksq., wcVe about
sitting down to dinner, a messenger
was sent to the room of liss Haidee.
youngest daughter oT Mr. Jones, who
was found to ba in the agonies of
death. The alarm was given ami
summons sent instantly for a phys
cian, but all to no purpose, and the
unfortunate girl was sooa beyond the
reach ot mortal am. A small revol
ver lying by her side told the fatal
story, and on examination it was
found that a bullet from one of its
chambers had passed through the
right temple, and into the brain in
such a manner as to produce speedy
death. The deceased was about twen
ty or twenty-one years of age, and
though she had been ill and under
the care of a physician for several
days, the family state that they are
aware of nothing to cause thought
of intentional injury to herself.
A brother of the the unfortunate
lady states that the revolver found by
Miss Jones was one which belonged
to him, and was kept in his room,
and that his sisters knew where it
was kept and occasionally had it in
their possession. It is supposed by
the family that Miss Haidee shot her
self accidentally, while carelessly tri
fling with tho pistol. But as no one
was present at the time, and no re
port was heard, what was in the mind
of the ill-fated girl in this final mo
ment, or how tlie ball was sped that
ushered her into another world will
never be known in this.
Nellie Grant.
A Washington, letter to the 'New
York World says: "Although the
cable keeps ever3-body well informed
as to the movements while abroad of
Miss Nellie Grant, still inquiries are
constantly made about her own ac
count of herself written to her par
enti. They are in receipt of several
long letters from her teliing of the
very great enjoyment she is experi
encing. Fortunately, although so
young, (she will ba seventeen the
4th of July), Miss Grant is not one
of the girls who is likely to have her
head turned by the ' attention she is
receiving in Europe. Although she
haa been constantly with her parents
ever since her father entered upon
public life, find has, as a matter of
course, received much attention and
no little flattery, sue is thoroughly
unspoiled is, in fact, one of the
rsost modest, unassuming girls I have
ever seen. She is a young lady who
will do credit to American j'oung la-
dydom abroad. Without being a
beauty, se is very pretty, having
about her that peculiar grace of youth
and innocence which is as rare now-a-day3
as it is charming always. She
is about meuiuni neigiit.a little taller,
I think, than her mother, has light
browu hair, large gray eyes, and a
fair complexion, with a delicate
bloom in her cheeks. .She is graceful
in her movements, and easy and na
tural in her conversation.

KEDZ1E WATER FILTER !
Pnrirylnc Rain, River Mil Hydrant
Water for Drinking-, Cooking-,
and C lieinleal Pnrpaea.
Manufactured by
William L. Ingraham,
77 Exchange St., Rochester, N. Y.
Thene celebrated Filters have been fully
tested by tbouaniol fumllies tixroutgriouL
the Untied States since ii"i; they have beeu
awarded the i ml Premium al Mtate and
County Fairs; they have received the high
est commendation! from UhemLstsand men
o! Science, aud lueir merit U established a
pwsesslni every Scientific and Practical
adaptation (or family use, rendering the
most Impure Kalu, Hi ver or Hydrant Wa
ter free from all HulMlancea, and as pure and
clear as crystal.
Impure water.llkethe hard water of wells.
Is one of the chief exciting causes of disease,
creating derangement of the stomach and
kidneys, resulting in dysentery ,cholera,and
renal diseases; aud In new countries, as lu
the Western suites, causing fever and ague
and bilious fevera.
Ir. Welting says: "A good deal of observ
ation and expe:lence has convinced me that
in those section of country where the soil
contains lime, and where, consequently, the
water Is strongly Impregnated with It, Al
tered rain water should by ail means be
nsed, not only for drinking, bat lor cocking
also. It would, in my opinion, prevent ma
ny diseases, especially cholera, dysentery,
eic,"
Dr. Dewey, Prof, of Ctiemlstry, says: -To
retuton on the Importance of pure water lor
the iieaitn anu cwntori or society, or to
prove the deleterious eileetof Impure water
011 the human system. Is unnecessary at
this day. Pure water cannot be procured
from wells, springs or streams In tills sec
tion of the country. Our w iters contain
sulphate of lime, chloride of lim nloriile
of ralctiim, sulphate of m 1 rn-sis, and saita
of Iron occasionally, all of lnc.i 'n ik wa
ter hard. Mist 01 theaiwive -ib '-tne ren

substances Inevitably find fi-ei. way
through the porous earth, rroi.i , -to 1 and
other repositories of decaying nit.rr. into
Wells, and no method can be de . 1 pre
vent It."
H.-nry Coit, Prof, of Cnerplstry, ilverst
ty College, Toronto, says: "Hat.,.g pur
chased out of your Rain Water i- iters, J
must say tnat 1 consider It a very ossr al and
excellent article. The construct ion U sim
ple, and the large quantity of delecatmg
material used is also of advantage, as tend
ing lu lengthen Its period of action. I have
tried a considerable nunioei of experiments
with dillerent waters, some very deeply col
ored, and others ol a most otfeuslveodor. In
all cases utterly mint either for drinking or
for culinary purposes, and tnevery Instance
the action uf lne Filler was most satiiacu
ry, as producing a clear, colorless. Inodorous
and tasteless water. The great importance
of pure water In promoting healLtj Is uni
versally acknowledged, aud the diereuce
observable between those sections where
pure or Impure water is used, has been con
clusively shown by the late report of the
Cholera Commissioners. I should, therefore,
very strongly recommend the use of Fil
ters." As rain water becomes foul by standing,
therefore these Fil'ers are designed for pur
fylng rain water lor drinking and cook tmr,
so that tho hurtful erfects of Impure water
may be avoided by famlllesand individuals
and to save tiie expenses of well-dlcglng.
They are constructed with a circular, ouKen
case, steel bound, into whicil ia eareiuliy
packed a prepared compound consisting
main-y of pure charcoal and silex. The wa
ter to be-hltered Is poured in at the top,
whence It percolate 'hrongh the packing.
They not only Urmn 'rater, but they rAmi--atti
.-juni it, rendering ail soft wa'er per
fectly pure and clear, lice that which bub
bles irom the crystal fountain.
In jsing water irom one ol these Filters a
person may be certain that he Is drinking
nothing but pure wter; while, with wed
water, he may swallow minute bugs; or iar
vie, or spawn may rind Its way to the stom
ach, causing to ihe individual life-long suf
fering and distress. Circularssent on appli
