THOMAS w. DoRR.--The Albany
Atlas says: Zone of the editors of this
paper, a week since, called at the pris-
on in which Governor Dorr is placed,
and inquired concerning his health
The keeper refused 10 answer such in
quirics-they 'knew no person Of the
name of Dorr; when a criminal was
imprisoned there, he was only known
by the number of his CELL The NAM
Der of his cell being ascertained, the
keeper; was asked ii he would permit
a message TO be sent to the prisoner -
This. too, was refused; and these SIM
pie inquiries were evidently regarded
as insulting and offensive"

RToTING.-We regret TO perceive
that Baltimore continues to be the
scene of furious and dsgraceful riots,
usually resulting from alarms of fire,
and the consequent crowding of the
streets BY persons prepared to see, and
prepared to aid in rioting. Few ar
rests are effected, as the rowdies inva-
riably resist the officers. and in many
cases rescue prisoners when taken
The state of things appears to be brief
" this: That the checking Of disturb
ance is no longer a question involving
the support of the majesty ofthe law,
but mere test Of physical force =
When matters arrive at such pass,
nothing but the most violent means
will arrest the evil; and the sooner our
Baltimore neighbors apply them, the
better will it be for their city.
BY reference to our local head, il
viii be perceived that the tedious and
painful process Of the trials Of persons
accused Of participation in the May
and July riots, in our vicinity, has
commenced in the County Court
Without feeling against any indiuid
ual, or any party, desire for the good
of the whole country leads US to hope,
that if any of these daring offenders are
ascertained and convicted, they may
be Justly dealt with. More orless than
this would be a disgrace and danger
TO the country. We are not, in these
proceedings, doing a mere local duty;
for The whole nation is interested, and
the character Of the republic is at steak.

BUSINESS ON THE ERIE CANAL
Some idea may be given Of the I'M
mcnsc amount of business done upon
this great State thoroughlare, from the
fact that at one of the locks Is miles
west of Albany boat passes every
nine minutes, on an average, night and
day during the whole season OF navi-
CATION. Estimating the time OF navl-
CATION at eight months and half, three
h~ndred and fily thousand three
hundred and hcenfy-nine boats pass
this point on the Canal, during the sea-
son. In the celebrated Report OF 5. b.
Ruggles, for which he has been so much
vilitied by the enemies OF internal I'M
provements, it was reported that the
commerce of Western New Y ork alone
on the Canal, was S50,o00,O00 in the
year 1888. In lSll the tolls on the
Canal are at least so per cent greater
than in IS, and the revenue from it
this year will, besides paying all cX-
pcnses Of repairs, official services on
the Canal, the ordinary expenses of the
State government, aud the interest on
the State debt, pay into the Treasury
nearly million of dollars. And yet
we are taxed = Roman Citizen.

"A certain and efectual Cure for .Ague and
Fever; also used successfully in The
treatment Of Bilious Feuer,
Nausea, General Debility,
and Nervous Weakness,

The most Aattering recommendations OF
this Medicine have been received from
many eminent Physicians and others who
have used it. And is presumed that no
medicine has ever been used whose ac-
ton has been more beneficial, pleasant
and invigorating, and called forth from
afflicted sufferers such expressions OF
heartfelt gratitude and thankfulness.--
Persons taking the Pills, soon find them
selves reieved-Chill broken Fever
gone Stomach and head free and
healthful!!! Strength and appetite in
creasing and improving, and all nervous
weakness fled.
When taken according to the directions
accompanying them, they never fail to
cure the Chill and Fever the first day, and
never sicken the stomach or operate upon
the bowels
Their action upon the whole system is
so charming, that persons are invariably
surprised and pleased with their rapid and
complete restoration TO health.
The Pills are purely and solely Vegeta-
BILE; and the happy combination of the in
gradients and their proportions are such
as to produce a medicine which never
fails to relieve when relief is at all attana-
ole.
Each box contains 90 doses of Pills

A PUBLIC BLESSING.

These Pills have long been known ant
appreciated, for their extraordinary anC
Immediate powers of restoring perfec
health to persons suffering under nearly
every kind of disease to which the human
frame is liable.
They are particularly recommended to
all those persons who are afflicted with
any kind of a chronic or lingering COM
plant, as there is no medicine before the
public which has so natural and happy eff
feet upon the system in correcting the
stomach and liver, and TO the formation of
healthy chyle and thereby purifying the
blood.
They are acknowledged by the hun
dreds and thousands who are using them,
TO be not only the most perfectly innocent,
safe and efficient medicine ever offered to
the public. Those who once make tri-
al ofthese Pills, never aiterward feel will
ling TO be without them, and call again
and again for more; which is sufficient
proof oftheir good qualities
-HEADEACHE-SICK OR NERVOUS.
Those who have suffered and are weary
of suffering with this distressing COM
plant, will find Spencer's Vegetable Pills
a remedy at once certain and immediate
in its effects. One single dose of the Pills
taken soon as the headache is felt coming
on, will cure it in one half hour entirely
AS remedy in summer and Jo,oet COM
plants, they display their wonderful pow
ers to admiration, and are far superior TO
any thing in use for these complaints.
In HabiudI COstiueneSs, they are decid-
eddy superior to any Vegetable Pill ever
brought before the public and one 25 cent
box will establish their surprising virtues,
and place them beyond the reach ofdoubt
in the estimation of every individual.
They are invaluable in nervous and n.y.
pochondriacal affections, loss of appetite,
and all complaints to which females alone
are subject.
They are mild in their action, and con-
vey almost immediate conviction of their
utility from the first dose. They may be
taken by persons of any age; and the feeble
the intirm, the nervous and delicate are
strengthened by their operation, because
they clear the system of bad humors quiet
nervous irritability, and invariably pro-
duce sound health.
Upwards of hundred and seventy hous-
and bores of these inestimabe Pills have
been sold within the last twelve months in
three States alone, and more than three
times the same quantity in other States.
As an anti-bilious medicine, no family
should be without them. A single trial of
them is more satisfactory than thousand
certificates.
Price, twenty-five cents per box. For
sale at the Drug Store of ~.

RUSSIAN SEVERITY.

In German paper the well known authoress,
Fanny Tarnow, gives the following affecting de-
scriplion' of the fate Of the Prince and Princess
Trubezkoi. The Prince was concerned in the
conspiracy which took place Immediately after
the death of the Emperor Alexander, and was
condemned to work for fifteen years in the lead
mines of the Ural Mountains. The Princess,
who was nearly connected with some Of the old
est families in Russia, accompanied him volun-
tarily into exile in the year 1895. In this terri
BILE situation she bore him FIVE children. In ST.
IBERIA the children of convict are also considered
convcts. They are not allowed to bear any family
name or receive any education, and are distin-
guished by numbers only. AT the expiration of
the period Of punishment in the mines, the friends
OF the prince hoped that he, his lady, and his chill
dren would now have better fate; but an ukase
ordered the Prince Trubezkoi into one of the
most remote places Of the icy deserts of Siberia,
where he and his family were to found colony,
and in a spot where they could be deprived of all
aid and assistance. In vain the Prince and Prin-
cess begged to be allowed at least to settle in the
neighborhood of Tobolsk, where there was
doctor and apothecary for their sickly children.
Their prayers seem to have been lost in air.
The German authoress has now come forward to
ask for mercy for the Prince.

THE GRAVE.

How little reflection is expended upon-yet
how much is called for-by the grave-by the
lowest hillock that is piled over the icy bosom
by the grassiest hollow that has sunk with the
mouldering bones Of fellow creature! And in
this narrow haven rots the bark that has ploughed
the surges Of the great vital ocean in this little
den that the thistle can overshadow in day s
growth, the mole undermine in an hours labor,
IS crushed the spirit that could enthrall the
world, and dare even contest with destiny
How little it speaks for the value of the existence,
which man endurcs so many evils to prolong
how much it reduces the significance of both the
pomp and the wretchedness of being-reducing
all its vicissitudes into the
tity which infinite distance gives to the stars--a
point without parallel, speck, an atom |! Such
is life-lhe grasp of child that inhales the air
of existence but once--a single breath breathed
from eternity. But the destiny that comes be-
hind us--oblivion 1t is not enough that we
moralize upon the equality Of the sepulchre; that
the rich man, whose soul is in the ostentation
Of a marble palace, and his heart in the splendor
of the feast, should consider how small pit
must content him; or that the proud who boast
OF their " pre- eminence above the beasts" should
know the shaggy carcass and the law-shrouded
corpse must fatten the earth together. We
should teach our vanity the lesson Of humiliation
that is afforded by the gravel neglecting the nigh
ty mausoleums OF those marvellous spirits which
fame has rendered immortal. we should turn to
the nameless tombs of the millions, and in their
deserted obscurity, discover the feeble hold which
we ourselves must have upon earth and the
memory of men. Friendship forgets what the
devouring earth has claimed even enmity ceases
at last to remember the resting place Of a foe.
Love ourselves as we may, devote our affections
to others as we can, yet must our memory per-
ish with us in the grave. 81

ANCIENT RuINs.-A gentleman who has trav-
ersed large portion Of the Indian country of
Northern Texas and the country lying between
Santa Fe and the Pacific, informs the editors of
the Houston Telegraph that there are vestiges
of ancient cities and ruined temples on the Rio
Puerco and Colorado of the west. On one of
the branches Of Rio Puerco, a few days travel
from Santa Fe, there is an immense pile of ruins
that appear to belong to an ancient temple. The
building occupies nearly an acre Of ground. Por-
tons Of the wall are still standing, consisting Of
large blocks Of limestone regularly hcwn and laid
in cement The ruins bear great resemblance
to those Of Palenque or Otolun. There are many
similar ruins on the Colorado Of the West which
empties into the Californian sea. Neither the
Indians in the vicinity, nor the oldest Spanish
settlers Of the nearest settlements, can give an
account Of the origin Of these buildings:

A rich joke was played off on clergyman up
tom two or three Sundays ago Just as he was
about to pray, the sexton handed him note, and
as it was written in the usual manner, he read
aloud "The prayers Of this congregation are
requested for young man gone to sea---his sweet
heart" The worshippers were astounded, the
minister indignant.
