Influence of Newspapers.
A school-teacher, who has been en
gaged for a long time in his profes
sion, and witnessed the influence of a
newspaper upon the minds of a family
of children, writes as follows :
I have found it to be - the universal fact,
without exception, that those scholars of
lx>th sexes, and of all ages, who have access
to newspajiers at home, when compared to
those who have not, are:
1. Better readers, excellent in pronuncia
tion, and consequently read more under
standingly.
2. They are better spellers, and define
words with case and accuracy.
3. They obtain practical knowledge of
geograghy in almost half the time it requires
of others,' as the newspaper has made them
acquainted with the location of the impor
tant places of nations, their governments
mid doings on the globe.
4. They are better grammarians; for, hav
ing become so familiar with every variety of
style of the newspapers, from the common
place advertisement to the finished and clas
sical oration of the statesman, they more
readily comprehend the meaning of the text,
and constantly analyze its construction with
accuracy.
5. They write better composition, using
better language, containing more thoughts,
more clearly and more connectedly ex
pressed.
Those young men who have for years
been readers of the newspapers arc always
taking the lead in the debating societies, ex
hibiting a more extensive knowledge upon a
greater variety of subjects, and expressing
their views with greater fluency, clearness
and correctness in the use of language.

Don’t Read This-
When trade grew slack, and notes
fell due, the merchant’s face grew long
and blue; his dreams were troubled
through the night with sheriff’s bail
iffs all in sight. At last his wife uuto
him said : “ Rise up at once, get out
of bed, and get your paper, ink and
pen, and say those words unto all
men:
“My goods I wish to sell to you,
and to your wife and daughters, too;
my prices are so very low that each
will buy before they go.”
He did as his good wife advised
and in the paper advertised. Crowds
came and bought off all he had; his
notes were paid, his dreams were glad,
and he will tell you to this day, how
well printer’s ink docs repay.
He told us, w ith a knowing w ink,
how he was saved by printer’s ink.

The Paraguay Affair.—We pub
lish this morning the most important
parts of the official correspondence be
tween ex Minister Washburn and the
Paraguayan Government, and with
these some letters from the unfortu
nate Porter C. Bliss, who was torn
away from the shelter of the American
flag by the savage, Ijopcz. The letter
of confession, in which Mr. Bliss is
made to implicate both Mr. Wash
burn and himself in a conspiracy
against the tyrant, is so manifestly
either a forgery from beginning to end,
or a falsehood, dictated by Mr. Bliss’
jailors, and forced upon his accept
ance by threats, if not actual tortures,
that a mere perusal of it is enough to
convince anybody of the entire inno
cence of the accused man, and the
probability that, as Mr. Washburn be
lieves, the whole plot was a fiction.
The details that now reach us set the
conduct of Lopez in a still blacker
light than the first intelligence, and
represent the outrage to the American
flag as even more atrocious than we at
first supposed. Punishment and repa
ration must follow without delay. We
hope soon to hear of a naval force in
the River Paraguay which will be
able to bear a bolder front than the
little Wasp could present when two
attaches of the American Legation
were seized under its very guns. If
we fail to avenge this crime W’c shall
be forever disgraced. York
Tribune.

A Singular Incident.—A well
known gentleman of this city related
to us the following singular incident,
which we think will bear publica
tion :
In the early part of Spring he pur
chased for his wife a full grown mock
ing bird, which had been captured in a
trap, and which he forthwith confined
in a cage. In the cage this bird re
mained during the entire summer.
Some two wdeks ago the gentleman
discovered that his bird was suffering
under an attack of that scourge of the
feathery tribe—the pip—and not
knowing any means of relieving his
little captive, suggested to his wife to
let it free, saying that it would proba
bly cure itself. This was done and
nothing more thought of the bird until
last Sunday when, greatly to the sur
prise of the entire family, the identical
bird made its appearance, entered the
house through the window, alighted
on his old cage, and suffered himself
to be again placed therein. The
most singular feature of the case,
however, was the fact that the pip had
entirely disappeared. The gentleinan
informs us that there can be no pos
sible doubt as to the idenity of the
bird, he having been able to recognize
it at once by several peculiarities.—
Charleston Courier.
Suspended.—We see it announced
that the Charleston Mercury has sus
pended publication. There could
scarcely be a more suggestive fact.
The Mercury has always been the
organ of the Aristocracy of the South,
and has always represented the ex
treme sentiment of Southern slave
driving aggrandisement. Before the
the war, it was the earnest enemy of
the Union. During the war, it cham
pioned the harshest measures; and
since peace, it has been the implicable
foe of every honest attempt at recon
struction. Edited by a member of the
noted family of Rhetts, it has fully
represented every principle of which
the Rhetts have so long been intrepid
ami consistent advocates. Its suspen
sion, therefore, indicates that the
“Aristocracy” is dead; that the “First
Families” of the South can no longer
support an organ; and that as a politi
cal fact their empire is past. Wc are
sorry for Mr. Rhett, and for the sus
pension of his enterprise; but the
death of the Mercury is a sure sign
of the dissolution of all that remains
of the proud and exclusive class that
dwelt for so many years in South Car
olina, and reigned over the whole
Republic.— M. I'. Tribune.

UnkHunk I
Mu. Editor—l have a little bird,
which is as watchful and tenfold more
truthful than the Ku-Klux owl of that
rabid chronicler of malicious misrep
resentation and barefaced lies. A few
nights ago, my little bird was out
pretty late, and struck up with two of
the sa-called unterrified, who, as they
were returning home from an Alder
manic nominating meeting in a certain
ward, were discussing the incidents,
etc. The following colloquy ensued,
a true report of which my bird gave
me in language less blasphemous than
the original:
A. —-Well, did you ever see the like,
or hear of such stamp down impu
dence ?
B. —You mean the attempt of that
chap to get the nomination, eh?
A.— Yes.
B. I never did.
A. —I was shocked; yes, more than
that—astonished. The unblushing
effrontery of that chap was deservedly
rebuked. He be our candidate for
Council ? I say it!”
B. —But, I tell you, be liked to have
raised us. He sorter demoralized the
meeting, sure.
A. —Yes, it was cut and dried—he
came, sure of success.
B. —But he partially failed.
A—N onsense! What do you mean ?
B.—l mean we squashed him; the
pressure we brought to bear was of
the conscript kind—he had to give in I
A. As I said, I was shocked; the
idea of that fellow for nomi
nation ; the ballots of Tuch poor trash
—they belong to the third class—are
good enough, but that’s all the use we
will ever have for them..
B. But he will break from us, and
you know we need every vote at this
time. We must run our ticket, made
up of monied men, to a successful
issue. We need the support of the
third class, and of negroes, too. So
we will have to soft-soap him a little.
Don’t you think so?
A. —Oh! yes, anything. Just promise
anything to secure his vote and the
votes of all such poor devils. It will,
however, be a promise to pay at some
eternally distant day.
B. —We must wake the slumbers
up. "Wealthy men are alone entitled
to honor and office. W.e must see that
that proposition is carried out by
adopting clap-trap plans enough to
elect the People’s party ticket!
A.—All means are fair.. It won’t
do to call our party the Democratic
party —that will kill us dead. It is
too Ku-Khixy for the negroes. We
will gull the fools, if we can, and if we
succeed, we will make our influence
felt, sorely felt. S. W.

of racers. I did not feel oncasy bout
dis, cause I uoes dat any nig can beat
a buckra running any time.
Ilowsonievci’, de uomenatiou made

predatory excursions to the very gates
of Rome. Recently a band of them
entered the country residence of the
pupils of the Scotch college at Rome,
in the Campagna, and carried off the
Abbe Campbell to the mountains, de
manding a ransom of 100,000 francs
for him. But the Papal troops fol
lowed them up so closely that they
were constrained to set him at liberty
without going through the formality
of receiving the ransom, and beat a
hasty retreat to the mountains.

Interesting from New Orleans.
New Orleans, November 23.—A part
of the gang who were lately depredating
on the New Orleans and Jackson Railroad,
were arrested here on Saturday night last.
The Times this evening copies from the
Brownsville Ranchero, dated the 12th,
letters from Monterey received the previous
night, which state that Escobedo, having
gone from Tampico to Victoria, for the
purpose of commencing the Tamaupila
campaign jointly with troops from Mata
moras, was surprised by the entire forces
of Vargos at Hacienda de Alamitas. Es
cobedo was defeated, barely escaping with
a few of his Staff to Monterey. Escobedo’s
forces fought badly, and before the fight
was over, hurrahed for Vargas and
Canale, and finally declared in favor of
the rebels. Escobedo attempted to collect
his forces at Monterey, but failed?- the
soldiers refusing to march without first
being paid, and afterwards openly refusing
to fight against their Tamaulipas brethren.
Escobedo, seeing this complicated state of
affairs, sent his resignation, declaring him
self incapable of putting down the Tam
aulipas Revolution. The forces at Victoria,
under Lopez and Montesinas, becoming
demoralized, disbanded themselves, a large
portion joining Vargas’ command. It is
believed by this time Tampica has pro
nounced, as well as odier towns in the
State, and soon the entire State will be in
the hands of Vargas. ,

Atlanta, Ga., November 17th, 1868.)
The State of Georgia is now prepared to curry
out the terms of the notice given by the State
Treasurer, October 12th, 1887, hi which it was
“proposed to exchange for the Bonds bearing five
and six per cent, due in 1808. 1869 and 1870, seven
per cent. Bonds, secured by mortgage on the West
ern A Atlantic Railroad, due in 1886, on the fol
lowing terms : Bonds due in 1868 subject to a des
duction of oue per cent., those due in 1869 two per
i-ent., those due in 1870 three per cent.”
The seven per cent. Bonds, us stated above,
with January coupons 1869 attached, will be
given in exchange for the Bonds which have
matured, without discount. Those due in 1869
snd 1870 will be exchanged in nceordance with
the original proposition, (deducting one per cent,
for those due in 1869, and two per cent, for those
due in 1870), detaching all coupons past due from
the seven per cent. Bonds.
Those desiring to make the exchange can do so

CURED WITH
PAIN KILLER.
o—
Read the following letter from
Rev.lt. Telford, Missionary in China, now
visiting his home in Pennsylvania:
„ Washington, Pi., June2s, 1860.
Messrs. Perry Davis & Son. Providence, R. 1.:
Dear Sirs—During a residence of some ten
years as a Missionary in Siam and China, I found
your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable
remedy for that fearful scourge, the Cholera.
In administering the medicine, I found it most
effectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a
gill of hot water sweetened with sugar; then,
after about fifteen minutes, begin tn give a table
spoon fnl of the same mixture every minute until
relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to
the extremities. Bathe the stomach with Pain
Killer, clear and rnb the limbs briskly. Os those
who had the cholera, and took the medicine faith
fully in the way stated above, eight out of ten
recovered. Yours, truly.
r Telford.
If an attack with Diarrlicea, Dysentery, or
Cramp Colic, don't delay the rise of the Pain
Killer. Sold by all-medicine dealers. Price, 25
cents, 50 cents, and fl per bottle.
Manhattan, Kansas, April 17, 1866.
Gentlemen— * * * I want to say a little
more abont file Pain Killer. I consider it a very
valuable medicine, and always keep it on baud.
I have travelled a good deal since I have been in
Kansas, and never without taking it with me.
In my practice 1 used it freely for the Asiatic
Cholera, in 1819, and with better success than any
other medicine; I also used it here for cholera in
1855, with the same good result.
Truly, yours, A. HUNTING, M. D.
Swato, China.
Choleia I * * * I regret to say that the
cholera has prevailed here of late to a fearful
extent. For the last three weeks, from ten to
fifty or sixty fatal cases each day bus been re
ported. I should add that the Pain Killer, sent
recently from the Mission Monse, has been used
with considerable success during this epidemic.
If taken in season is generally effectual in check
ing the disease,
Rxv. CHARLES IIARDINIG.

Summer Complaint and Dysentery.
Bowel complaints scent just now to be the
prevailing element, and atty medicine that is
every where acceptable, and that is reliable, is n
very desirable acquisition. From what we have
seen,beard, and experienced,, we believe Davis'
Pain Killer is this desideratum. For the best
method of using it, we quote from the directions:
"For common bowelcomplaints, give one tea
spoonful in a gill of new milk and molasses, in
equal parts, stirred well together; lessen the done
for children, according to the age. If the pain be
severe, bathe the bowels and back with the medi
cine. This mode of treatment is good in cases of
the cholera morbus, suddeh stoppages, etc. Re
peat the dose every hour.
“The quickest way I ever saw the dysentery
enred was by taking one spoonful of the Pain
Killer in one gill of milk aud molasses stirred
well together and drank hot. nt tbe same time
bathing the bowels freely with medicine. Let
the dose be repeated every hour nntil the patient
is relieved.”
If every person who has reason to fear this
disease would provide themselves with a bottle
of this medicine, and use us occasion required, we
believe a great amount of suffering and sickness
would be saved. jel2—2m
