Sun Pain Of 10 gears standing cured by Il. G.

HQTTSJGS ATUOldn LIHtHeUI.
Mr.. III. G. FARRELL-Dear Sir: 1 had been af-
hicted with the 8 Sun Pain fog the last ten years
and could never get relief except by bleeding; but
by the use of III. G.. FarFeRs Arabian Linfment,
applied over the temples about three or four times
a day, it was entirely removed, and I have felt
nothing of it since. I went into the stable one
night, to apply it to a horses sore leg, and being
very lame he stumbled and fell against my legs,
crushing and bruising them so badly that they
turned black as my hat, rendering them powerless.
I applied your %Liniment, and was well enough in
q few days TO go about again as usual. I also
crushed my finger in a shocking manner, by let
ting a back log fall upon it your Imminent soon
healed it up, though. JOHN B. MCGEE.
La Sale precinct, Peoria co., Ill, Feb. 6, 1S49.
ESQ.,, Barker, of New Canton, H., says Mr.. H.
G.. Farrell's Arabian Liniment has cured some bad
cases here, which every other remedy had failed
in; one was a white swelling and contracted cords
in the leg of a boy twelve years old. The leg had
withered away, and was so contracted that he had
no use of it. These doctors had tried their skill
upon it in vain, and he was fast sinking to the
grave, when the boys father was induced to try FL.
G.. Farrel's Arabian Liniment. Before the first
bottle was used up he came to Mr.. b. store, and
the first words he said were, Mr.. Barker, 1 want
all that Liniment you have in the store; the one
bottle 7 got did my boy more goodman all tina had
ever been done before That boy is now we'll and
hearty, and has free use of his legs. 1t is gooG
for sprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swellings.

Senator Douglass,

LIE hehtucky papers contain accounts
ol the Democratic Convention in that
otate lately, at which Judge DOUGLASS
was present and delivered speech. Tho
rcpor. says
After the committee had retired. the
President Of the Convention introduced
Hon. 5. A. Douglass, Senator from Illinois
WHO proceeded TO address the convention in
speech OF about three hours duration.
The honorable gentleman stated that it
should DC his purpose 10 show to the Ken
tucSians present that Democracy in the
North and in the South was composed Of
one and the same sort Of principles; and
ne would talk here, in slave State. lust
as he would DO at home among his own
immediate fellow-ctizeus of Illinois Mr..
Douglass then proceeded to make one ofthe
most pow erful. massive, compact, and able
constitutional arguments upon the political
.9p'cs OF the ''ay-particularly touching
the slavery qucstion-that have ever been
uttered by an American statesman. He
was listened to by the vast concoursc pres.
ent with the most marked and profound
attention, notwithstanding the weather was
somewhat iHclemcnt, and the people had to
stand considerable portion of the time
exposed to slight rain. Never have we
seen more devoted attention, and never have
we seen an audience more highly delighted.
Mr.. Douglass fully sustained his well earned
and great reputation as statesman and an
orator.

The Jew said, "thc uncle is Your fathers

But when the ninth desired that he

Military Literature.

American papers arc rcmarkng on the
absence Of all literary effort in the Crimca,
and are therein noting-vcry much to
their cwn glory-a characteristic difference
between the surroundings Of IN American
ard Of an English army The contrast is
fair: the sclf.lau1ation is not unjust Onr
readers know that when the "Yankccs''
marched into Mexico they carried with
them printing press, and published news
paper along the line of invasion. Across prai-
rios, through dangerous passes, over noun
tain ranges, sometimes on mules oltcncr on
mems shoulders, occasionally in wagons,
travelled press, paper, type, and ink, editors,
contributors, compositors, and pressmen-
fighting, foraging, writing, working onward.
Infinite were the uses of the press. 1t car
ried orders through the camp. Every morn
ing the soldier read in il the story of the pre-
vious day. 1t anticipated the gazcttcs: it
disseminated orders of the day; it pcrpctu-
ated the gossip of the camp; reflected pub,
lie opinion in the army; made known every
want; supplied every information; excr.
ciscd, inspired, and animated every heart
Had the Americans been in the Crimea
they would have had daily papers at Bala
kiava, Eupatoria, Ycnikale, and Constanti
nople; and these papers, rejecting the
humors, incidents, and life of the camp
would have ranked among the best histori
cal documents on the war. As it is, on.
soldiers in the Crimca arc indebted to the
London journals for authentic information
of what occurs in the camp itself and within
mile or two Of their tents. Jonathan is
far ahead of us in some respects.

TIE RIaHTs OF ScHooLMAsTERs AND
PARENTs.-A case Of considerable interest
astried before Justice Ladd, of Cambridge,
on Saturday. a citizen of Newton was
complained of for an assault upon the mas
ter of school Of that place. 1t appeared
that the master was in the habit, as is now
the general custom, of keeping the child of
defendant with other scholars, after school
hours, to learn her lessons which had been
imperfectly recited during school hours.
The parent believing that the detention was
Illegal, went to the school house and de-
manded his child. This was after regular
school hours. The master said that the
child should 60 as soon as she had recited
her lesson. The parent attempted to enter
the school room to take his child, but his
entrance was resisted by the master, and
the assault upon the master was the result
The court ruled that the keeping Of child
until the lessons of the day had been per.
footed, was legal; that the parent, in oppo.
sition to the will Of the master, was in The
wrong; that a child placed at school by The
parent is under the control Of the mas.
ter, until regularly dismissed, and thai
a parent cannot withdraw the child from
school during the day against The masters
will, except through The interYention of IAN
officer and the;school commit ttees The de

Living by one's Wits.

Nine persons sailed from BaIse down the
Rhine. a Jew, who wished to go TO Sch-
ampi, was allowed TO come on board and
journey with them, on condition that he
would conduct himself with propricty, ard
give the captain eighteen krcutzcrs for his
passage.
Now, it is true, something jinglcd in the
Jews pocket when ho struck his land
against it: but the only money therein was
a twelve kreutzcr piece, for the other was
a brass button. Notwithstanding this, he
accepted the offer with gratitude, for he
thought to himself, Something may be carl.-
cd even upon the water. There is many a
man who has grown rich on the Rhinc."'
During the first part of the voyage, the
passengers were very talkativc and merry,
and the jew, with wallet under his arm
tor he did not lay it asidc-was the object
OF much mirth and mockcry, as alas! is
often the case with those of his nation.
But as the vessel sailed onward, and passed
Huntington and st. Welt, the passengers,
one after the other, grew silent, gazcd down
the river until one spoke out:
"Comc, Jew, do you know any pastime
that will amuse lis? Your fathers must
have contrived many one during their
long stay in the wilderness"
'Now is the time," thought the jew, "to
shear my sheep" And he proposed that
they should sit round in circle, and pro-
pound curious questions to each other, and
he, with their permission, would sit down
by them. Those who could not answer the
questions, should pay the one who PROFOUND
cd them twelve kreutzer piece, and those
who answered them pertinently, should
receive twelve kreutzer piece.
The proposal pleased the company, and
hoping to divert themselves with the Jews
wit or stupidity, each one asked at random
whatever entered his head.
Thus, for example, the first one asked:
"How many soft boiled eggs could a
giant eat upon an empty stomach ?''
All said that it was impossible to answer
that question, and paid over their twelve
kreutzers.
But the Jew said, "One, for he who has
eaten one egg, cannot eat second on an
empty stomach" and the other paid him
twelve kreutzers.
Tho second thought, wait Jew, will try
you out of the New Testament, and think
I shall win my piece.
"Why did the Apostle Paul write the
Second Epistle to the Corinthians Z"
The Jew said, ."because he was not in
Corinth, otherwise he would have spoken to
them." So he won another twelve kreutzer
piece.
When the third found the Jew 80 well
versed in the Bible, he tried him in diff
ferent way.

Prof La Borde, Of South Carolina College,
in his recent work on Physiology, says:
AS the women have concluded to dispose
with shoulder straps, some men, especially
in this city, have thought they would prove
pantaloons can be worn without suspen-
dcrs. The men now strut the streets with.
their paptaloons tightly buttoned, side
by side with the women, whose skirts or
petticoats are firmly bound around their
persons. Upon q fair view. the evil is the
same in both cases; pressure upon the vital
organs, impairment Of their proper action,
want Of development, deforlpity, diseaaa
and premature death. The N CIV York Phrs-.
