Have the Courage to Say No.
You’re starting-to-day on life’s journey,
Alone on a highway of life ;
You’ll meet with a thousand temptations ;
Each city with evil is rife.
This world is a stage of excitement;
There’s danger wherever yon go ;
Bat if you are tempted iu weakness,
Have courage my boy to say No.
The syren's sweet song may allure you ;
Beware of her cunning and art;
Whenever you sec her approaching,
Be guarded aud haste to depart.
The billiard saloons are inviting,'
Decked out in their tinsel and show ;
You may be invited to enter—
Have courage my boy, fc> say No.
The bright, ruby wine may be offered,
No matter ho .v tempting it be ;
Front poison that stings like an adder,
My boy, have tne courage to flee.
The gambling lmlls are below you,
Their lights, flow they dance to and fro!
If you would be tempted to enter,
Think twice, even thrice, ere you go.
In courage alone lies your safety,
When you the long journey begin,
And trust iu the Heavenly Father,
Who will beep you unspotted from sin.
Temptations will go on increasing,
As streams from a rivulet flow ;
But if you aro true to manhood,
Have courage, my boy, to say No.
Samana Bay. —Our Government has
long hud its eyes upon the Buy of Sam
ana and tbe penin-su'a protecting sit, at
the island of Hayti, and a naval station,
and negotiation for its purchase'have, iu
former years, been had. But all efforts
to this end failed, for some reason.—
Recently these negotiations wero re
newed, and wo are uow told that they
have resulted in a lease of the coveted
prize, for fifty years, at a rent of $150,-
1)00 a year, and that the first year’s rent
lias been paid and possession taken. It
seems a big price to pay, but it may be
worth it, as we may thereby not only
thus secure this new possession in the
tropjes as our permanent territory, but
with it. in due time, the whole of Bt.
Domingo also, aud perhaps the rest of
the island besides.
This bay is situated at the northeast
end of the Island, on/ the coast of St.
Domingo; of which ‘republic’ we ob
tain it. Its protecting peninsula, which
we also secure by this purchased is 32
miles long, extending from cast to west,
and ten or eleven miles wide. It was
once an island but the strip of water
separating it from Ban Domingo has
been filled up by natural agencies, and
a land connection is thus made with the
main island. Its immediate value is
supported to refer to our naval and com
mercial marine; audits advantages as
a navel station and coaling depot are no
xioubt important. The harbor is one of
tho finest ia the world, and occupies a
commanding commercial and military
position.
The Island of Hayti is about 400
miles loDg and 100 wide, and is divided
between two governments—that of
Hayti and St. Domingo. Tbe island is
very rich in commercial woods*, coffee,
and all the natural tropical resources;
and also in a large variety of valuable
minerals. It lias two great ranges of
mountains, and climates of all varieties,
from that of New England to the most
fervent of the torrid zone. In the hilly
country at thfc North it is one unending
spring. Our. new possession, though
much of it is low and marshy, and hot,
extends nearly to the borders of this hil
ly northern region of perpetual May,
and in this purchase of Bam an a itself is
included Bugar loaf hill, 2,000 feet high.
The year is not distant when extensive
portions of the island of Hayti will be
UDder sugar cultivation. It has been
sadly misued, under its wretched ex
periments at negro government, and
Spanish half blood rule.

CUTHBERT
Incident In Arkansas Life.
BY JUDGE ARRINGTON.
I shall never forget my first vision of
William Denton. It was in the Court
house at Little Rock, Arkansas, in the
summer of 1834. The occasion itself
possessed a terrible interest, well calcu
lated to fix in the memory ail its circum
stances. A vast concourse of specta
tors had assembled to witness the trial
of a young and very beautiful girl on
au indictment for murder. Tho Judge
waited at the moment for the sheriff to
bring in his prisoner, and the eyes of
the impatient multitude eagerly watch*
ed the door for the expected advent,
when suddenly a stranger entered,
whose remarkable appearance riveted
universal attention. Here is his por
trait done as accurately as pea can
sketch it.
A figure, tall, lean and sir.ewy and
straight as an-a-row; brow y-nsri’.'C,
soaring, and smooth* as polish marble,
intersected by a large blue vein forked
like the tongue of a serpent; eyes red
dish yellow, resembling a wrathful ea
gle’s eye—as brilliant as fearfully pier
cing ; and finally, a mouth, slight, cold
and sneering—the living embodiment of
unbrealhed curses ! He was habited in
leather, ornamented, after the fashion
of Indian costume, with beads of every
color in the rainbow.
Elbowing his way proudly and slowly
through tho throng, and seemingly alto
gether unconcious that lie was regard
ed as a phenomenon that needqd expla
nation, the singular being advanced,
aud with the haughty air of a king tak
ing his throne, seated himself witliin
the bar, crowded as it was with the dis
ciples of Coke and Blackstone, several
of whom, it was known, esteemed them
selves lar superior to those old and fa
mous masters.
The contrast between tho disdainful
countenance and outlandish garb of the
stranger excited especially the risibility
ot the lawyers, and the junior member
began a suppressed titter, which soon
grew louder and swept around the cir
cle. They doubtless supposed the in
truder to be some wild hunter of tiie
mountains, who had never betoro seen
the interior of a hall of justice.
Instantly the cause and object of the
laughter perceived it. Turning his
head gradually, so as to give each
jaugher a look of infinite scorn,he ejac
ulated the single word —‘Savages !’
No pen can describe the unspeakable
malice, the defiant force which he threw
into that term ; no languago,can express
tho in.ernal furore of his utterance, al
though it hardly exeaedod a whisper.—
But he accented every letter as if it
woro a separate emission of fire that
scorched his quivering lips, laying hor
rible emphosis on tbe s both at the be
ginning and ending of tho word. It
was a mixed growl, intermediate be
twixt, the growl of a red tiger and the
hiss of a rattlesnake — ‘savages!’ It
cured everybody of tbe disposition to
laugh.
Tho general gaze, however, was then
diverted by the advent of the fair pris->
oner, who came in surrounded by her
guard. The appariton was enough to
drive even a cynic mad, for hers was a
style of beauty to bewilder the tamest
imagination and melt the coldest heart,
leaving in both imagination and heart a
gleaming picture, enumelled with fire
aud fixed in a frame of gold from the
stars. It was the spell, of an enchant
ment to bo felt as well as seen. We
might feel it in the flashes of her coun
tenance, clear as sunlight, brilliant as
the iris; in tho classic contour of her
features, symmetrical as if cut with an
artist’s cliizel; in her hair of rich ring
lets, flowing without a braid, softer than
silk, finer than gossamer; in her eyes,
blue as the heavens of southern summer,
large, liquid, dreamy; in her motions,
graceful, swimming, like the gentle
vvaftures of a bird’s wing in the sunny
air; in her figure, slight, ethereal—a
sylph’s or a Seraph’s; and more than
all, in the everlastiug smile of the rosy
lips, ey frank, so seoeue, so like starlight,
and yet thrilling tne soul as a shock of
electricity.
As the unfortunate girl, so tastefully
dressed, so incomparable as to personal
charms, calmly took her place before
the bar of her judge, a murmur of ad
miration arose from the multitude,
winch tho prompt interposition of the
court could scarcely repress from swell*
ing- into deafening- cheers. The mur
mur was followed by aloud unearthly
groan from a solitary bosom, as of some
one in mortal anguish. Ail eyes were
centered on the stranger, and all were
struck with surprise and wonder, for his
features writhed as if in torture—tor
ture that his rain of tears could not as
suage. But what could be the cause
of this sudden emotion ? Could any
connection exist between him, tbe ap
parent rude hunter, and that fairy girl,
more beautiful than a blossom of sum
mer, and iu countenance celestial as a
star ?
The judge turned to the prisoner—
‘Emma Greenleaf, the court has been
iuf. irmed that your counsel, Colonel Lin
ton, is and cannot attend, il-ave
you employed any other ?’
She answered in a voice sweet as the
warble of the nightingale, and clear as
the song of the skylark —‘My enemies
have bribed all the lawyers, even my
own to be sick; but God wih defend the
innocent!’
At this response, so touching in its
simple pathos, a portion of the auditors
buzzed applaused and the rest wept. —
On the instant, however, the leather
robed stranger, whose aspect had pre
viously excited so much merriment, ap
proached the prisoner, and whispered
something in her ear. She bounded
several inches from the fipor, uttered a
wild shriek, and then stood pale and
trembling as if in the presence of a
ghost from the grave. All now could
perceive that there must be some mys
terious connection between the two, and
the scene assumed the profound interest
of a genuine romance. Tie stranger
addressed the court in accents as sono
rous as the tone of an orgah—‘May it
please your honor, I will defjnd the le
gal rights of the lady.’
‘What S’ cxclaitfled ule Ltonjshed
judge, are you a licensed attorney ?’
‘The question is immaterial and ir«
revalent,’ replied tho strangen with a
spear, ‘as your statute entitles \ny per
son to act as counsel, at the request of
a party.’ V
‘Let her speak for herself,’ said the
stranger.
‘I do,’ was her answer, as a longi
drawn sigh escaped, that seemed to
rend her very heart-strings.
‘What is your name, as it must be
placed on the record ?’ interrogated the
judge.
‘William Denton,’ said the stranger.
* The case immediately progressed.—
We will "briefly epitomise tbe substance
of the evidence. About twelve months
previous the defendant arrived in the
town, and opened an establishment of
millinery. Residing, in a small room
back of her shop, and all alone, prepar
ed the various articles of her trade with
unwearied toil and consummate taste.
Her habits were secluded, modest, and
lienee she might have hoped to escape
notoriety, but for the perilous gift of
that extraordinary beauty, which too
often, arid to the poor and friendless,
proves a curse. Bbe was soon sought
after by tbosq gay fireflies of fi'-.J:,
the business of whose life isf everywhere
seduction and ruin. But the beautiful
stranger rejected them ail alike with un
utterable scorn and loathing.
Among these disappointed admirers
was one of a character from which the
fair milliner had everything to fear.—
Hiram Store belonged to a family at
once opulent, influential, and dissipated.
He was himself licentious, brave and*
revengeful, and, a duelist of estab
lished and terrible fame. It was gene
rally known that he had made advances
to win the favor of the lovely Emma,
and shared tho fat# of all her other
wooers—a disdainful repulse.
At nine o clock on Cnristmas night,
1833, the people of Little Rock was
startled by a loud scream, "ns of some
one in mortal terror; while following
that, with hardly an interval, came suc
cessive reports of fireams—one, two,
three—a dozen deafning explosions.—
They flow to the milliner, whence the
sounds emauated, and pushed back the
unfastened door. A dreadful scene
was presented. There she stood in the
centre of the room, with a revolver in
each baud, every barrel discharged, her
features pale, her eyes flashed wildly,
and her lips parted with an awful smile!
And thereat her feet, weltering in his
warm blood, his bosom literally riddled
with shot, lay the all-dreaded duellist,
Hiram Bbore, gasping in the last ag
ony. He articulated but a single sen
tence —‘Tell my mother that I am dead
and gone to ii—lll’ and instantly ex
pired.
‘ln God’s name, who did this V ex
claimed the apalled spectators.
‘I did it !’ said the beautiful milliner,
in her sweet, silvery accents. T did it
to save my honor !’
Such is a brief abstra&tof tho essen
tial circumstances, developed in the ex
amination of witnesses. The testimony
v ck>sed and the pleadings began.
•First of all, Fowler, Pike, and Ash
ley (all famous lawyers at that time in
the south-west) spoke in stieecssion fer
tile prosecution. They about equally
partitioned their eloquence betwixt the
prisoner and her advocate, covering the
latter with such sarcastic wit, i a ling,
and ridicule as made it a matter of
doubt whether he or client was the
party then on trial. As to Denton,
however, he seemed to pay. not the
slightest attention to his opponents, but
remained motionless, with his forehead
bowed on his hands, like one buried in
deep thought.or in slumber.
When his time came, however he
suddenly sprang to his feet, crossed the
bar, ami toon a position almost touching
the foreman of the jury, he then com
menoed in a whisper, but in a whisper
so wild, peculiar, and indescribably dis
tinct as to fill the hall from floor to gab
lories.
At the outset he dealt in pure logic,
analysing and combining the proven
facts, till the whole mass of confused
evidence looked transparent as a gljbe
of crystal, through which the innocence
of his client shone luminous as a sun
beam, while the jurors nodded to each
other of thorough conviction. That
thrilling whisper and concentrated ar
gumet, and language simple as a child's,
nad satisfied the demands of the intel
lect, and this, too, in only twenty min
utes. It was like the work of a mathe
matical demonstration.
He then changed his posture so as
to sweep the bar with his glance, aud,
like raging lion, rushed upon his adver
saries, tearing and rending their gopis
tries into atoms. His sallow face glow
ing like a red-hot iron, the forked blue
vein swelled aud wreathed on his brow,
bis eyes resembled live coals, and voice
was the clangor of a trumpet. 1 have
never, before or since, listened to such
appalling denunciation. It was like
uOve’s eagle charging a flock of crows,
it w;is like Jove himself hurling thun.
derbolts in tbe shuddering eyes of in
ferior gods. And yet in the highest
temper of fury he seemed wonderfully
calm. Ho employed no gesture save
one—flash of a long, bony fore finger
directly at the palnd faces of his legai
foes. He painted their venality and
unmanly baseness in coalescing for mon
ey to crush a friendless female, till a
shout of stifling wrath broke from the
multitude, and some of the sworn panel
cried ‘Bhame !’ And thus the orator had
carried another point—had aroused a
perfect st r u of indignation against the
prosecutors—and this also iu twenty
minutes.
He changed his theme once more.—
Bis voice grew mournful as a funeral
dirge and his eyes filled with tears, as
he traced a vivid picuro of man’s cru
elties and womuu’s wrongs, with special
applications in the case of his client, till
half the audience wept like children.
Bus it was ih tho peroration that he
reached the zenith both of terror and
sublimity. His features were livid as
those of a*corpse; his very' hair ap
peared to stand on end; his nerves
shook as with a palsy; he tossed his
hands wildly toward heaven, each fin
ger spread apart and quivering like tbe
flame of a candle, as he closed tho last
words of the deceased Hiram Shore —
‘Tell my mother that I am dead and
gone to h—ll 1’ His emphasis on the
word hell embodied the elements of all
horror. It was a waiLof' immeasurable
despair—a wild howl of infinite torture.
No language cud depict its effect on all
who heard it. Men groaned, women
shrieked, and one poor mqtber was
borne away in convulsions. The entire
speech occupied but an hour.
The jury returned a verdict of ‘Not
gniity” without leaving the box, and
three tremendous cheers, like ’qiccessive
CUTHBERT, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1870.
fymg the joy of the people. At the
same moment the beautiful milliner
bounded to her feet and clasped the
triumphant advocate in her arms, ex
claiming—‘Oh, my husband! my dear
husband 1’
Denton smiled, seized her hand, whis
pered a word in her ear, and the two
left the bar together, proceeding to the
landing, and embarked on the steam
boat bound for NqdJttrleaHs. It seems
that they had parted on ac
count of his causeless jealousy, after
which 6he had assumed a false name
and came to Little Rock. How he
learned her danger, I could never ascer
tain.
They returned to Texas. The bus
band was a colonel in the revolution,
and escaped its perils only to fall the
next year in a terrible fight with the
Cainanohes. Anew county in the cross
timbers, a county of wild woods ro
mantic as his own eloquence, and of rij£
bright prairie,beautiful as'his own Em
ma’s sweet face, commemorates his
name—the name of a transcendent star
that set too soon, which else had now
been the first luminary in the political
sky of Texas, if not in the circle of the
whole Union, for he was nature’s De
mosthenes of the western woods!—AT.,

An Amusing Quandary.— \Ve learn
by a letter from Rome, dated Ist Dec ,
that the bishops who at that time had
already reached their destination had
been making a trial of their Latin and
found it satisfactory neither iu quantity
m>r quality. A few days before, a de
liberation bad taken place.in the cham
bers of Cardinal Altert on the subject
of an address to the Pope. Every one
tried to express bis opinion in the purest
Ciceronian ho could command, but the
result was unfortunately merely a mod
ern adaptation of the scene which once
took place in the plain of Sbinar. In
this confusion some of the American
bishops began to speak French, and the
conversation became tolerably intelligi
ble till the Bishop of Reggio protested,
and declared that all eclesiastical mat
ters must bo discussed'in Latin. The
consequence was that the victory was
won by those who had not quite forgot
ten their declensions and conjugations ;
the rest signed their names in humble
resignation without attempting to take
any pari in the debate. —North German

keeping milk fresh for a long time is now
extensively practiced in the vicinity of
Paris. This consists merely in adding
to each quart of fresh milk, before the
cream has risen upon it, about mx grains
of bicarbonate of soda or potash, and
theo placing the milk in bottles, which
are to be corked, for four hours, iu a
water-bath heated to a temperature of
about 190 degrees, taking care not to
go beyond this limit. When the bottles
are removed from the bath, they are to
be made perfectly tight by coating the
cork with wax, and the milk ean then be
kept a long time unchanged.

Changed His Mind.
I have never seen the gradual pro
gress of opinion’ more pleasantly and
practically illustrated than in the case
of a shipmate of mine on one of iny ear
ly voyages,
Stiles was a simple-hearted, transpa
rent young fellow, and, when we sailed,
had been ‘paying attention’ to a young
lady who, he had reason to think did
not fully reciprocate his ardent feelings.
At all events, the parting, on her side,
was not so affectionate as he could wish,
and he was impressed with tho belief
that she only kept him as a stand-by,
in default of u better ofler.
‘I don’t believe,’ Stiles would say with
a despondent, shake of his, head, ‘I
don't believe Adu Jones’ll have me, after
all.
When we had been out a few months,
and had met with fair success Stiles’
tone was modified.
T lie burden oThi- tnomolcguo changed
to :
‘Well, don’no—but what Anu Jones’ll
have me, after all.’
With a thousand barrels of oil under
hatches, he became still more hopeful.
‘Chance is pretty good for Ann Jones,’
he would say. ‘Pretty good now.’
At fifteen hundred barrels he had as
sumed a self-satisfied manner, and thus
soliloquised ;
‘I guess there’s no danger but what
Ann Jones’ll have ine now.’
When he had two thousand barrels
he said :
‘Ann Jones’ll be glad enough to get
me now I know.’
When we cut the last whale that was
to fill the Rose, and squared away for
home, Stiles threw his hat iu the air
with a wild Indian yell of triumph, ‘l’ll
be d—if I’ll have Ann Jones, anyhow 1’
And he didn’t.
Ajimal Instinct. —The instinct of
animals is sometimes really surprising.
There was once in possession of a farmer
in Clonmel a goose that, by accident,
was left without mate or offspring, male,
or female. Now it chanced that the
good wife had set a number of duck’s
eggs oder a hen, which in due time
were ii)cubated, and of course the duck
lings took to water, seeing which the
motherly old hen was iD a sad pucker—
her mattirnity urging her to follow the
brood, and her selfishness to remain on
dry land. In the meantime up sailed
the goose with clack and clatter, which
interpreted, meant ‘Let me take care of
them.’ She swam up and down with
the youngsters, and when they wearied
of their aquatic excursions recommitted
them to tiie guard.unship of the hen.—
in the morning down came the ducks.—
There was the goose, and the hen was
iu great fluatration. On this occasion
we do not know if the goose invited the
hen for a friendly sail, but it is the fact
that, being near the shore, the hen
jumped upon her back, and in company
they cruised up and dow’n, as it were,
convoying the feathered flotilla. Day
alter day the ben, on board the goose,
might be seen iu perfect content and
good humor. Numbers of people came
to visit this extraordinary occurrence,
which happened day alter day until the
juvenile exoursionalists arrived at the
age of discretion, and fully posted in
maritime matters, no longer needed the
services of ‘goose and hen, pilots, in
structors, etc.
The Buried Treasure and Archives
of the Confederacy. —The Theta Delta
Chi fraternity, which met at the Astor
House, New York, in February last,
listened to an oration by William L.
Stone, who, iu the course of some inter
esting reminiscences of the rebellion,
spoke of David Tilghman as the officer
selected by the Confederate Government
to take cha r ge of its treasure and ar
chives.
On the morning of Mr. Davis’ capture,
says Mr. Stone, Tilghman waited upon
him at his bedside, and said : “Mr. Da
vis, by this map you may see that tiie
enemy are here; such and such is the
situation of the roads. If you will come
vvjth me you will be able to leave tbe coun*
try iu salety. If you do not, you will
be captured in five hours,” To Mr. Da
vis replying, curtly, that he knew his own
business best. Tilghman continued :
\ ery well, sir; I have been entrusted
witii the treasure and archives, and pro
pose to secure them, even at peril of the
loss of your favor and of my lifo. I
shall start at once by the route I have
marked out.’
The result is well known. In iess
than five hours Mr. Davis was a pris
oner ; but the archives were safe.—
When, a few weeks after, in the recesses
of the forest, Tilgham learned that all was
lost, he alone, and with his own hands,
•buried the treasure and archives; and

APPEAL.
The Maid of Orleans-
BURNING OF JOAN d’aRC.
[From the Baltimore Home Journal.
At daybreak on the 30th day of May,
1431, a priest entered the cell of a young
woman at Rouen, and announced that
he had come to prepare her for death.
Not that the prisoner was ill—she was
young, healthy and in the full posses
sion of her faculties, the death she was
to suffer was a violent one—she was to
be burned alive ! Burned alive at one
and twenty ! What could the poor
wretch have done ? She had shivered
the power of the English in France;
she had, by means of an enthusiasm
which rendered her obnoxious to the
clergy, roused the French nation from
the torpor into which it had been thrown
l»3 r the stunning blows dealt it by Henry
V., of England, and she had dared to
thwart the purposes and brave the an
ger of vindictive churchmen, like the
Bishop of Beauvais, and the Bishop of
Winchester, Cardinal Beaufort. The
prisoner’s name was Jeanne Dare, or as
she has been more commonly, but erro
neously, called, Joan of Arc.
The priest’s announcement took the
maiden entirely by surprise. A week
before she had been led out into a pub'
lie place in Rouen, and compelled in a
moment of weakness, when surrounded
by enemies—not one kindly face among
the crowd—and under circumstances of
great excitement, to sign a document
disavowing and solemnly adjuring cer
tain charges of heresy which were pre
ferred against her, and she had been
told on that occasion that her life would
now be spared, though she must resign
herself to a sentence of perpotual im
prisonment. The excuse for breaking
faith with the poor girl was this—that
since her adjuration she had said that
St. Catherine and St. Margaret, with
whom she asserted she was frequently
iu direct communication, had appeared
to her and rebuked her for her weak
ness in yielding to the threats of violence.
On first healing the announcement of
the priest, Jeanne’s firmness gave way;
she wept, and gave vent to piteous cries,
tore her hair, and appealed to‘the Great
Judge’against the cruel wrongs done
to her; but by degress her sulf-jiosses
sion returned, and sbe listened to the
ministrations of the priest, received the
last sacrament from him, and announced
herself ready to submit to the will of
Heaven.
At nine o’clock in the morning, she
was carried away in the hangman’s cart
to the market-place of.Rouen, where had
been already laid the funeral pyre on
which the young victim was to be sac
rificed. • The Bishop of Beauvais, Car
dinal Beaufort, and several other pre
lates, with the English military com
mandeis, were there, and a vast crowd
had come to see the ‘Maid of Orleans’
die. In the center of the market place,
and about the spot where now stands a
lountain surmounted by a figure of Jean
ne Dare, the stake was reared, and
around it were piled the fagots. Sol
diers guarded the place of execution.—
The ceremony of death was begun on
that beautiful May morning, by a ser
mon in which the crime of heresy was
vehemently denounced ; then the sem
tence pronounced by the shepherds'of
the flock upon the ewe lamb before them
was published, and the signal was given
to proclaim the last act ot the tragedy.
A soldier's staff was broken, and formed
into a rough cross, which “the Maid”
clasped to her breast. She was then
bound to the stake, the fagots were
lighted, the fire leaped up around her,
and, after suffering the agony indispen
sable to death by burning, tier spirit re
turned to God who gave it. The Eng
lish Cardinal watched the whole pro
ceedings with unmoved face; and when
his victim’s life was beyond his reach,
he ordered her ashes and bones to be
taken up and to be cast into the Seine-
Two Sides to It. —A few days ago a
scalawag State Senator in North Caroli
na, was murdered under mysterious cir
cumstances. Immediately the Radical
newspapers blew him up into a saint
and proved to their own satisfaction,
that his killing was evidence of the dis
loyalty of the people, and from political
hostility. A correspondent of the World,
from Raleigh, gives the other side of the
saintly picture. lie says: “Stephens
was a man of notoriously bad character
who had been thrown to the surface by
the unsettled condition of affairs for the
three or four years*and who, being thus
enabled to exercise his bad traits on the
community around him, made for himself
many implacable enemies. He was for
merly a resident of Rockingham county,
where lie was indicted and convicted of
stealing chickens, and the full
penalty of the law by agreeing to pay
the costs of his prosecution and leaving
the county.’’ It is not dificult to assign a
good reason for the taking off of such a
saint. — Doylestawn Democrat.
The Operation of the Bill to En
force the Fifteenth Amendment. —The
Metropolitan Record is showing that the
real purpose of the so-called “bill to en
force the Fifteenth Amendment”—the
boldest and most despotic act the Rad
icals in Congress have as yet dared to
perpetrate—is the establishment of a
consolidated despotism, having its cen
tral power at Washington. “This” con
tinues the Record, “is to be effee'ed by
direct interference in our State elections,
substitution of the Federal for the State
Courts in trial of alleged cases of fraud,
the supersedure of State by Federal of
ficials, and the employment of the Fed
eral land and naval forces for the intim
idation of citizens at State and other
elections. Through such infamous leg
islation the Radical leaders hope to per
petuate their power, and, if necessary,
to reduce the North to the condition
of the South, whore the rule of the bay
onet is supreme, and the civil is subor
dinate to the military authority.”
In Clarke county, Ohio, there
is a boy baby with two distinct noeeS.
The child is six months old, is healthy,
and the twin noses are si&e by side and
quite perfect.' Smith is the name.

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.
“The life of the fl?sh is in the Blood,” is a
Scriptural maxim that science proves to be
true. The people talk of bad blood, as the
cause of senses, and like many popu
lar opinions this of bad blood is fouuded in
truth.
The symptoms of bad blood arc usually
quite plain—bad Digestion—causes imperfect
nutrition, and consequently the circulation is
feeble, the soft tissues loose their tone and
elasticity, and the tongue becomes pale, bioad,
and frequently covered with a nasty, white
coat. This condition soon shows itself in
roughness of the skin, then in eruptive and
ulcerative diseases, and when long continued,
results in serious lesions of the Brain, Liver,
Lungs, or urinary apparatus. Much, very
much, suffering is caused by impure blood. It
is estimated by some that one-fifth of the hu
man family are effected with scrofula iu some
form.
When the Blood is pure, you are not so lia
ble to any disease. Many impurities of the
Blood arise from impure diseases of large cit
ies. Eradicate every impurity from the foun
tain of life, and good spirits, fair skin and vital
strength will return to you.

Is a remedy of Wonderful Efficacy in the cure

these Affections it is as near a specific as any
remedy can be. It does its work kindly, si

’8 both certain and perceptible.
DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS AND BLAD
DER.
Persons unacquainted with the structure
and functions of the Kidneys cannot estimate
the importance of their healthy action.
Regular and sufficient action of the Kidneys
is as important, nay, even more so. than regu
lai-ity of die bowels. The Kidneys remove
from the Blood those effete matters which, if
permitted to remain, would speedily destroy
life. A total suspension of the urinary dis
chargee will occasion death from thirty-six to
forty-eight hours.
When the Urine is voided in small quanti
ties at the time, or when there is a disposition
to Urinate more frequently than natural, or
when the Urine is high colored or scalding
with weakness iu the small of the back, it
should not be trifled with or delayed ; but
Koskoo should be taken at ot ee to remedy the
difficulty, before a lesion of the organs takes
place. Most of the diseases of the Bladder
originate from those of the Kldueys, the Uriue
being imperfectly secreted in the Kidneys,
prove irritating to the Bladder aud Urinary
passages. When we recollect that medicine
never reaches the Kidtteys except through the
general circulation of tl e Blood, wo see how
necessary it is to keep the Fouutain of Life
Pure.
