Earthquakes in History.
During the first half of this century 3,
240 of these visitations were noticed, or
about one every week. In Europe du
ring the last ten years, there have been
320 earthquakes, or one every nine day-.
At the commencement of the fifteenth
century, only 750 of these shocks had
found a place in history. During the
next 300 years, 2,804 earthquakes are re
corded, or almost four times as many as
during all the succeeding ages. From
these facts it has been inferred that, what
ever may be the origin of these uphcav-
ings of the crust, of the earth, the pheno
mena are greatly increasing in number,
and their causes in violence.
Among the earliest earthquakes report
ed is that by which the famous Hercula
neum and Pompeii were destroyed in the
year G3. Fifty two years after this, An
tioch, in Syria, was almost entirely ue
stroyed, the calamity occuring just at the
time the then Emperor Trajan, was on a
visit to the place. In 458 it was agaiu
visited with an earthquake, and then
again in 526, the number of persons
perishing in the ruins on this latter oc
casion being estimated at a quarter of a
million.
In 1G92, Port lloyal, the capital of
Jamaica, was entirely submerged by the
force of an earthquake, which swallowed
up over a thousand acres, and drove ships
so far inland that they floated above the
buried city.
^ In 1772, an entire volcano sunk into
the earth in the Island of Java, carrying
with it forty villages, the mountain itself,
which was fifteen miles long and six broad,
accompanying the hamlets and their 2,-
957 inhabitants.
On thelst of November, 1755, occurred
the memorable earthquake at Lisbon by
which 60,000 persons perished in the
twinkling of an eye. Here also was the
great tidal wave seen of an altitude of fif
ty feet. One of the most awful incidents
of this earthquake was the sinking of the
eity quay. This had just been construct
ed of marble at an immense expense, and
to it, as to a last refuge, fled thousands of
the hapless inhabitants. Without a mo
ment’s warning the earth suddenly open
ed to receive it, and after sucking in the
mass must have closed over it, as not a
single body of all the thousands that went
down, nor the least spar or ark from any
of the ships near by that were sucked in
to the chasm, ever came to the top. The
water there is near 600 fathoms deep, and
at an unknown distance beneath the bot
tom repose the hapless Lisbonese. This
Lisbon earthquake, Humboldt estimates,
affected a portion of the earth four times
as large as Europe, and was felt in the
Alps, on tne coast of Sweden, in the West
Indies, on Lake Ontario, and along the
coast of Massachusetts.
In 1811, the earth quakes on the Mis
sissippi, severest at New Madrid, Mo.,
shook the ground for many days, aud al
ternately raised and depressed it here and
there, the latter sections forming a sec
tion called the sunken country to this
day.
On the 26th March, 1812, a violent
thunderstorm, with incessant flashes, was
observed by the people of New Madrid,
aud at the same time the city of Caracas,
in South America, was laid in ruins, 12,-
000 of its people perishing.
The great eruption of Vesuvius in
1857, with accompanying earthquakes,
will also be remembered as leading to an
immense destruction of human life, va
riously estimated at from 22,000 to 40,-
000 lives.
In 1858, June 19, the Valley of Mexi
co was also devastated by one of these
visitations, demolishing houses through
out its length and destroying the costly
aqueduct supplying the city with water.
March 22, 1859, Quito, in Equador,
was nearly destroyed by an earthquake
and thousands of lives were lost.
Does the Laboring Man Pay Taxes.
Radical legislation requires the consum
er to pay all taxes. It taxes—
The hat on your head,
The hoots on your feet,
The clothes on your person,
The food you eat,
The tea and coffee you drink,
The pot it is cooked in,
The cup you drink it out of,
The impliments on your farm,
The tools you work with,
The paper you write on,
The pen and ink you use,
The papers aud books you read,
The furniture in your house,
The gas or oil you burn,
The coal you consume,
The stove you burn it in,
The match you light it with,
The medicine you take,
The tobacco you smoke,
The pipe you smoke it in,
The dishes on your table,
All you eat off of them.
The laboring man of the country, who
owns a little house and lot, which he has
earned by toiling from early morning
till night, pays State tax, school tax, road
tax upon it; while his next door neighbor,
who is a boudholder, owning 850,000 in
bonds pays no taxes whatever, draws in
terest in gold, has his money in a little
home ! If the masses of the laboring
men desire equal taxation of every spe
cies of property according to its real value
—Government bonds aud other securities
included—if they want one currency tor
the Government and the people, the la
borer and the office holder, the pensioner
and the soldier, the producer and the
bondholder, they will not vote the Radi
cal ticket, that is certain.

Death of Marshal Key.
WHiat a tragedy that incident of French hi
torv was. After the hurtle of Waterloo. Mar
shal Ney concealed himselt in a Chateau near
Aurillar. belonging to M >ns. de Cantab >ttbre,
his kinsman When he quitted Paris he im
prudently carried with him a magnificent sa- j
[ire which Napoleon had worn in Egypt. and
had given the Marshal. He one day brought
it down from his chamber t<> the drawing loom
to show Mona, de Cantalonhre and his family. j
It was forgotten on the sofa of the drawing- j
room. Visitors from Aurillac made their ap- ,
pearance while lying there. Its form and rich
ness lit was covered with precious stones) at- ;
tracted their attention. They spoke of it at,
Anrrillac. An ardent royalist heard them and 1
exclaimed: “There are hut two such sabres in j
France—one K-longs to Nay. the other to Mu- j
rat. Ney must be concealed in the chateau de j
Besson is.”
He secretly organized a hand of voluntary,
ardent royalists as himself.
The postmaster at Aurillac, who was Mons.
Cantalouhre’s brother, heard that the extreme
royalists were organizing in order to arrest the •
Marshal. He set out at once to warn them. \
As the least delay might he fatal, and as it j
was necessary his movements should escape !
notice, he set out on foot, and although the j
night was very dark, he went across the fields ;
to reach the chateau sooner. When half tne j
distance had been accomplished, he fell into a j
broad ditch and broke his leg. He could nut '
move There he lay the whole night.
At sunrise the next morning, the hand of
royalists appeared at the cliatteau. They did j
not know Marsha! Ney. lie was alone in the j
yard when they made their appearance. They j
asked him where was Marshal Ney. He might ,
| easily have givcm a false direction and have j
| fled/ lie replied : “ You seek Marsha! Ney 1
I I will show him to yon. Follow me.” Hecar-
ried them to his chamber. Once in it he said :
“ I am Marshal Ney.’
They arrested him and carried him to Auril
lac. This happened on the 5th of August 181-5.
one month and nineteen days after the battle
of Waterloo. He was brought to Paris. He
reached it on the 19th of August. As he came
up to Paris, he and tbe gendarmes who guard
ed him stopped for refreshments at a wayside
inn. While they were refreshing themselves,
a hand of soldiers of the imperial army, sent
to their homes, entered the inn. There were
at least forty of them. They recognized the
Marshal and exchanged significant glances with
him to let him know they could deliver him
from the gendarms. The latter themselves
seemed adverse to the duty imposed on them.
The Marshal smiled and shook his head.
His wife and four children came to meet
him. They met some miles from Paris. The
scene was heart-rending, and, despite himself,
tears trickled down the soldiei s cheeks. '1 he
officer who commanded the gendarms said :
“You weep, Marshal.”
Nev answered : “I am not weeping for my
self, sir : my tears are for that widow and
those orphans.”
The day Ney reached Paris, Col. Labedovere
was shot.
Ney was tried before the Chamber of Peers.
There were one hundred and sixty-one peers
present. He was found guilty by a unanimous
vote. Upon the question of punishment, one
hundred and thirty-nine peers voted for death;
twenty-two voted for exile. The vote was ta
ken at half-past 11 o’clock at night, on the 6th
of December, 1815.
When the Secretary of the Chamber of Peers
went to acquaint the prisoner with the sen
tence, he began thus : “ Sentence of Monsieur
le Due d’Elehingen, Prince de la Moskowa,
Marshall of France.”
Ney interrupted him with : “Monsieur, say
Michael Ney—and soon a little dust.”
When the Secretary ceased reading, Ney
simply said in a tune of command : “ I wish
to see my wife to-morrow morning, at live o’
clock. 1 hope no one will take the liberty of
announcing to her my fate. I shall do that.”
The following morning his wife and four
childien and their aunt. Mine. Gainot came,
llis wife was nigh distracted with grief. To
console her Ney said : “ All hope is not lost;
go ask my pardon from the King ; he will not
refuse you, I dare say.”
The Chamber of Peers had not delivered the
sentence an hour when the Duke de Richelieu
(then Minister of Foreign Affairs) asked Louis
XVIII to pardon Ney.
The King replied : “ Were I weak enough to
pardon Marshal Ney my family would never
forgive me: and you yourself, would be ar
raigned for high treason ”
The Marshal’s wife went at once to Duke de
Doras, one of the King’s first chamberlains.
The King was unable to see her. She returned
a few hours afterward and was told : “ The
audience you solicit has no longer an object.”
The hack went down the central avenue of the
Garden of the Luxembourg, aud did not stop
until it reached the Place de PObservatoire.
Count de Rochechouart was present at the ex
ecution as commander-in-cliief of Paris. He
was accompanied by two members of the Cham
ber of Peers Nay walked boldly to the place
assigned him. He refused to be blindfolded.
He said to the soldiers who were to shoot him :
“ Soldiers. I have confronted death on a hun
dred fields of battle, and am not afraid of it.
Aim at my heart that I may die without un
necessary pain.”
The officer in command of the platoon was
so overcome by emotion he could not give the
fatal word. One of the Peers, angry at delay,
shouted the command.
Marshal Nay fell. Six balls bad entered his
body ; three of them in his head. His body
was carried to the Foundling Hospital. It was
then borne to Pere la Chaise. The spot where
it reposes is still a favorite pilgrimage.

WORM DESTROYER:
Villaxow, Walker County, Ga., )
June 29, I860. )
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: I have recently
given your “Worm Destroyer” several trials,
and find it wonderfully efficacious. It has not
failed in a single instance to have the wished-
f«-r effect. : 1 am doing a pretty large country
practice, and have daily use for some article of
the kind. I am free to confess that I know of
no remedy recommended by the ablest authors
that is so certain and speedy in its effects. On
the contrary they are uncertain in the extreme.
My object in writing to you is to find out uoou
what terms I can get the medicine directly
from you. If I can get it upon easy terms, I
shall use a great deal of it. I am aware that
the use of such articles is contrary to the teach
ings and practice of a great majority of the
regular line ot M. D.’s, but I see no just cause
or good sense in discarding a remedy which we
know to be efficient, simply because we may be
ignorant of its combination. For my part, I
shall make it a rule to use all anil any means
to alleviate suffering humanity which 1 may be
able to command—not hesitating because some
one more ingenious than myself may have
learned its effects first, and secured the sole
right to use that knowledge. However, I am
by no means an advocate and supporter of the
thousands of worthless nostrums that flood
the country, that purport to cure all manner
of disease to which human flesh is heir. Please

From the Talmud.
The Childhood of Abraham.
Abraham was brought up in a cave, for the
tyrant Nimrob sought to destroy him. But even
in this dark retreat the light of God was with
in him, and he thought by himself, WHo is
my Creator? At the age of sixteen he came
out of his cave, and looking for the first time
upon the heavens and the earth, and lie was
astonished and delighted, and he asked of all
the creatures lie met. Who is your Creator ?
The sun arose ; Abraham fell on his face, ex
claiming. Ah, this is the Creator! how glori
ous he is ! But the sun went down, und it was
dark ; and he said that disappearing light could
not be the Creator. But the moon and stars
went down, and Abraham stood alone.
He went to his father, and said. Who is the
God of Heaven and earth ? and Tenth directed
him to his idols. I will prove them, thought
Abraham ; and when he was alone he laid be
fore them the most delicious viands.saying. If
ye are living gods, acce*pt these offerings. But
they stood immoveable.
And these, said Abraham, are what my fath
er worships as gods. Perhaps I can teach him
better. He took his staff aud broke the idols
in pieces, except one. and into the hands of
this one he placed his staff, and said to his fa
ther, O father, this god has killed all his bro
thers. Torah was angry, aud said, You are in
sulting me, boy; how could he ; for I made him
with my own hands. Be not angry, father,
said Abraham ; let thine own ear take in what
thine own lips have spoken. Dost thou not be
lieve that thy got! could do what my own child
hood has done ? How then can this be the god
who created me and thee, and earth, and the
heaveus ? Tenth stood confounded and struck
dumb before his child.

READ THE CAPTAIN’S LETTER AND THE
LETTER FROM HIS MOTHER.
Bextox Barracks, Mo., April 30, 1SC6.
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing the effi
ciency of your Sarsaparilla, and the healing
and beneficial qualities it possesses, I send you
the following statement of my case.
I was wounded about two years ago—was
taken prisoner and confined for sixteen months.
Being moved so often, my wounds have not
healed yet. I have not sat up a moment since
I was wounded. I am shot through the hips.
My general health is impaired, and I need
something to assist nature. 1 have more faith
in your Sarsaparilla than in anything else. I
wish that that is genuine. Please expiess me
half a dozen bottles, and oblige

P. S.—The following was writted April 30,

Johnson.
Dr. Bull—Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. C. S.
Johnson was a skillful surgeon and physician
in Central New Y'ork, where he died, leaving
the above C. P. Johnson to my care. At thir
teen years of age he had a chronic diarrhea
and scrofula, for which I gave him your Sarsa
parilla. It cured him. I have for ten years
recommended it to many in New Y'ork, Ohio
and Iowa, for scrofula, fever sores, and general
debility. Perfect success has attended it. The
cures effected in some cases of scrofula and fever sores
were almost miraculous I am very anxious for
my son to again have recourse to your Sarsapa
rilla. He is fearful of getting a spurious arti
cle. hence his writing to you for it. His
wounds weie terrible, but I believe he will re
cover. Respectfully,
Jenn ie Johnson’.

FOR THE CURE OF
AGUE A.YD FEVER
OR
CHIEFS A AH FEVER.
The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
justly claims for it a superiority over all ottier
| remedies ever offered to the public for the safe,
i certain, speedy and permanent cure of Ague and
| Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short
! or long standing. He refers to the entire
Western and South-western country to bear
: him testimony to the truth of the assertion.
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure, if
j the directions are strictly followed and carried
; out. In a great many cases a single dose has
1 been sufficient for a enie, and whole families
! have been cured by a single bottle, with a per-
feet restoration to the general health. It is,
however, prudent, and in every case more ces
tain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller
doses for a week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long-standing cases. Usually, this medicine
will Qjt require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order: should the patient, however, re
quire a cathartic medicine, after having taken
three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose
of BULL'S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS
'■ will be sufficient.
