6. PILLS.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A
FAMILY .PHYSIC.


THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgatiye pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand and an extern
sive trial Of its virtues has concusively shown with
what success it accompanies the purpose designed.
1t is easy to make physical piu, but not easy to
make the best of all pills = one which should have
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit to
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many Of them produce SO much
gripping pain and revulson in the system as to more
than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from previously existing obsuuc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use ID any
quantity but it is better that any medicine should
be taken judiciously. Minute directions for Their
use in the several diseases to which they are ap-
plicable are Viven on the box. Among the COM

CHERRY PICTORIAL,
For the rapid Cure OF
COUGHS, COLDS, HOARSENESS,
BRONCHITIS, WHOOPING-COUGH,
GROUP, ASTHMA, AND
CONSUMPTION.

THIS remedy has won for itself such notoriety
from its Of every variety Of pulmonary disease,
that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evil
dences of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed. So wide is the field of its use
fulness, and so numerous the cases of its cures,
that almost every section of the country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases of the
lungs by its use. When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine of its kind is too appar
ent to escape observation, and where its virtues
known the public no longer hesitate what antidote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous afec-
tons Of the pulmonary organs which are incident
to our climate. And not only in formidable at
tacks upon the lungs, but for the milder varieties
of CoLDs, CoUaHs, HoARsENRss, &C.. and for
CHILDREN it is the pleasantest and safest medicine
that can be obtained.
As it has long been in constant use throughout
this section, we need not do more than assure tho
people its quality is kept up to the best that It ever
has been, and that the genuine article is sold by

SERIOUS DISTURBANCE IN New YoRK.-Last Sum
day there was disturbance and affray in New
York. growing out of street preaching. The Ex-
press of the Odd gives the following account Of
the affair:
The usual Sunday excitement, growing out of
the street preaching, which has been tolerated in
the Park for weeks, was created yesterday after
noon while Moses, the fanatic and accordion
player to ''Gabriel," was holding forth to large
audience, several thousand persons being in and
about the City Hall. A running fight in the Park
followed, during which desperate named Roger
Mclaughlin, living at 472 Pearl street, drew
knife and stabbed John Hawkins, OF Al Clarkson
street, in the hand, inficting bad wound, and it
is said also stabbed several other persons with
the knife, but as far as we could learn, none OF
them were dangerously injured.
The excitement that followed the stabbing was
very great, and at one time it was feared gene
raj riot would ensue. large police force un-
der Sergeants DevOc and Mum, of the Reserve
Corps, were Immediately among the rioters, and
arrested Mclaughlin, who was seen to stab sew
eral persons in the crowd, and Thomas Jackson,
for attempting to rescue Mclaughlin, and inter-
fering with the officers in the discharge OF their
duty. Others were arrested, but it subsequently
appearing that they took part in the riot, they
were discharged. The prisoners were taken to
the tombs and locked upn separate cells, to await
a hearing before justice Osborne. When the RI
OF was at its height, Moses skulked from the City
Hall steps, and suddenly disappeared. How long
shall this state of things which is the most shame-
full desecration of the Sabbath imaginable, be al
lowed to go on? The Mayor has the power to
stop it.

TIME.

'Tis WELL once and awhile, amidst the hustle
and activity of business. the fluctuations of the
produce markct,-thc rise and fall of stocks,-to
note of Time,-cast up our reckoning and see
how far we have wandered into the depths of the
Unknown Future. and cast glance backward in
TO the bvc-gone Past. What memories come
thronging thickly upon us. Of early associations
of bovhood'S halcvon hours,-of youths first
golden dreams of lifc,--of early friends, some
here some there, in distant regions of the world,
and some, perhaps, gone to that ''bourne from
whence no traveller returns" Too many live too
fast. In the hurry and confusion of speculative
movements, they glide swiftly down the current
of Time, without stopping one moment to enjoy
tine golden sunshine ere the shadows of life gather
thickly around their pathway. With them, all is
real, nothing imaginary. They can see no enjoy
rnent, derive 30 satisfaction from anything, except
it is connected with ''dimes and dollars" With
the social amenities and courtesies Of life, they
have no connection. Ia their breasts there is no
sympathy for the oppressed of the world. They
gaze coldly upon the struggles of the down-trod-
acn to regain their liberty, and only interest
themselves WHEN such events are likely to infu-
cnce the money market. Such mea find, when
too late, that they have been pursuing phantom,
a something which, when seemingly in their grasp,
mas yet contrived to eludc it. Time stops for no
speculation, n,-makes of the child man, and sill
yers the head of the middleag aged with gray hairs.
Let us then be prudent and as the hours pass, let
scme go by borne on pleasures gay pinions, in
tcrmixed with those of toll and care.-Pioneer.

Gy'Thc Richmond Penny Post contains the
following letter, written by Mr.. CLAY to the
children of gentleman Of that city. 1t was not
intended for publication, and has never been in
print before.
WASHINGTON, February 18, 1888.
My Dear Children: Having made the acquaintance
of your father, and received from him many acts
of kindness, take great pleasure, in compliance
with his wishes, in addressing these lines to you
During long life, have observed that those
are most happy who love, honor and obey their
parents; who avoid idleness and dissipation; and
employ their time in constant labor, both of
body and mind; and who perform, with regular
and scrupulous attention, all their duties to our
Maker, and his only Son, our Saviour.
May you live long and prove blessing to your
father and mother, ornaments to society, and
acceptable to God. Such is the hope of your faith
er's friend, and although unknown to you, your
friend, II. CLAY.

In certain circles, and at certain times, it is
fashionable to deride those principles of progress
which lie at the root of every great modern prop
osition. 1t is much easier to say ''Pooh % than
to examine a subject earnestly; sneer is the
lowest form of wit, but the readiest; and man
with satirical turn of language and slight
snsattering OF the subject, can gain more reputa-
ton by an assault, than would he conceded to
Bacon, were he to live again and undertake the
defence. There are antidiluvians in the present
age, as well as four thousand years ago: men
Sho will not see the impending torrent which is
destined to destroy an old world, and build up a
new one on a sounder principle.

|. DESPERATE RESORT OF THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT.
The following important information concern
ing the Island of Cuba, we find in the St. Louis
News of the Goth:
"Commodore Newton, of the flagship Colum-
bia, lately arrived at Washington from Havana,
where he refused to salute the Spanish flag, has
communicated to the government the important
fact, which had come to his knowledge at Havana
from source he deemed perfectly reliable, that
the Captain General has in his possession royal
decree, authorizing him at any moment he may
deem proper to emancipate all the slaves in the
Island. This is the measure of defence which
has been limited at by English and French papers,
and is intended to carry out the threat that Cuba
must be Spanish, or else second IIayti."
