ANCIENT Fiction AND MODERN FAcr.-
The Enchanted Salve story which Ceryantes
puts into the mouth of Don Quixote was
doubtless intended as satire upon the ex-
travagant pretentions and miserable failures
of the physicians of that day. But the fc-
tions of one age sometimes become the facts
of another, and could Cervantes revisit the
earth, he would see many of the curses ironi-
cally attributed to Don Quixote's nostrum,
actually accomplished by Holloway's Ont-
ment. The magic of science has shamed the
legends OF necromancy in the benefcent ef-
fects of the remedies introduced by that dis
distinguished man.
Extravagant erlogy is ''not In our way :"
but there is difference between Hattery and
simple justice. 1t has happened that in
several instances we have witnessed the ef-
feet Of Ilolloway's Ointment upon external
diseases. That it will cure erysipelas. salt
rheum, and virulent, deep-seated ulcers, we
can testify from facts that have come under
our own observation, and if faith is to be
placed in the consentaneous declarations of
the thousands and tens of thousands who
have tested its properties in this country and
| throughout the world, there can be no doubt
! that it is a specific-the only speciic-for
scrofula and cancer. The late war in Eur
ope afforded grand opportunity to ascertain
its value as dressing for flesh W w-unds, frac-
lures and contusions, and it appears from
the published official reports Of the army
surgeons, that its application in such cases
was followed by very remarkable results.
The pain and inflammation of the parts rapid
! ly subsided, and healthful reaction ensued.
Injuries for which the ordinary receipts
were the tourniquet, the saw and the ampu-
tation knife, were cured without difficulty
by the use Of this powerful recuperant,
Probably no class Of our countrymen bet
ter understands the value of Holloway
Ointment than the denizens of the far west
1t is in fact their "salve for every sore,
whether occasioned by accident or the result
of hardship and exposure. The Southern
planters regard it as an indispensable item in
their plantation dispensaries, and use it al
most universally as remedy for the erup.

degree of popularity, and the demand for /

YELLOW FEVER INCIDENT On Monday las
saws New Orleans paper, a gentleman com
ing into the city from Ozyka, found himsels
sitting ris a riS with a company of strangerf
in whom he became interested, On inquiry,
he found the party consisted of four youths
from Kentucky, going to New Orleans to
seek their fortune. ''Are you not afraid of the
feyer?" said our friend. 1--WE did not know
the danger when we started" was the reply.
Il advise you, said our friend, ''to take the
return cars for jackson, or you will doubtless
soon be occupants OF our graveyard" "Ws

They came. Our friend followed them to
their boarding house, and watched their fate,
Three of them have been buried; the fourth

SUPPOSED MuRDER.-We learn that the
friends Of the Frenchman whose body was
run over and cut to pieces by freight train
upon the Rutland Railroad track, near this
place on the 30th ult, believe that he had
been robbed and murdered, and his body
placed upon the track for concealment of the
deed This is inferred from the fact that no
money was found upon the body, whereas it
is stated that lie had about him before his
death, his earnings for the season, amount
ing to a considerable sum.

A Year In Heaven.

year uncalcndercd; for what
Hast thou to do with mortal time
its dole of moments cntercth not
Ihat circle, mystic and sublime,
hysn unreached centre is the throne
W linn before whose awful brow,
Mcoting cternites are known
As but an everlasting nort
The thought removes thee far away
Too FAR beyond my love and tears;
All! let me hold thee as may,
And count thy time by earthly years
year of blcssedncss-wherein
Not ono dim cloud hath crossed thy soul,
No sigh of grief, touch of sin,
No frail mortalty's control;
Nor once hath disappointment stung.
Nor care, world-weary, made thee pine;
But rapture, such as human tongue
Hath found no language for, is thine.
Made perfect at thy passing-who
Can sum thy a lded glory now
As on and onward, upward through
The angel ranks that lowly bow,
Ascending still from height to height,
Untaltering where rapt seraphs trod,
Nor pausing mid thoir circles bright
Thou tendest inward unto God
A year of progress in the lore,
That's only learned in heaven; thy mind
Unclogged of clay, and free to soar,
Hath left the realms of doubt behind.
And wondrous things which finite thought
In vain essayed t. solve, appear
To thy untaskcd inquiries, fraught
With explanation strangely clear
Thy reason owns forced CONTROL
As held it here in needful thrall;
Gods mysteries court thy questioning soul
And thou mayst search and know them all.
year Of love thy yearning heart
Was always tender even to tears,
With sympathies whose .acred art
Made holy all thy cherished years,
But love, whose speechless ecstacy
Had overborne the finite, now
Throbs through thy being pure aud free,
And burns upon thy radiant brow.
For thou, those hands dear clasp hast felt
Where still the nail prints are displayed
And thou before that face hast knelt,
Which wears the sears the thorns have made.
year without thee | had thought
My orphan'd heart would break and die,
Ere time had meek quiescencc brought,
Or soothed the tears it could not dry.
And yet live, to faint and quail
Before the human grief bear;
To miss thee so then drown the wall
That trembes on my lips in prayer,
Tn u praising while weakly pine;
Thou glorying, while yanly thrill
And thus, between thy heat and mine.
The distance ever widening still.
year of tears to me; to thee,
The end of thy probations strife,
The archway to eternity
The portal of immortal life.
To me-the pail the bier, the sod
To thee-thc palm of victory given
Enough, my heart-thank G cd thank God
That thou hast been a year in hearent

DEATH OF "FATHER SAWYER" The ven
erable Rev. John Sawyer, long famiiarly
known as" Father" died at Bangor on Thurs
day evening last, at the great age of Que hun
dred and three years and four days. The Ban
gor Union, in reporting his death, says" He
was born in Hebron, Conn. , on the 9th of Oct
ober, 1855. At the age of % he entered the
army, and was present at the capture of Bur-
goyne. in 1885 he graduated at Dartmouth.
Two years afterwards he settled in Oxford \ .
H., where he remained until 1875. For the
past half century his field of labor has been in
Bangor and vicinity. He was one of the
founders ofthe Bangor Theological Seminary
By the telegraph we learn that the funeral OF
this aged veteran and Christian took place at
the First Congregational Church in Bangor
on Sunday afternoon, and was attended by
more than three thousand persons. A dis
course was preached by Rev. DR.. Pond of the
Theological Seminary, and the other services
were conducted by different clergymen.-T
remains will be taken to Garland, twenty-sev
en- miles from Bangor, for burial by the sidt
ofthe grave Of Mrs. Sawyer, who died twenty
two years ago. 1t is thought the deceased
was the Oldest clergyman IN the country. i
is certaintthat no minister was more general,
esteemed ,or has received more tokens of affec
fionate regard at the close of his long and use
tul life. boston Transcript

We do not insert brief communication
from " \. b., on the subject of Mr. Everett's
oration, in which, after alluding to what he
is pleased to call the L" timely and pertinent
remarks thereon in the Fres Press, he pro-
ceeds to point out that Mr. Everett overlooked
the great characteristic of Washington's S his
tory, The point of our correspondent is well
taken, but we gave quite as much space to

any one need be at the pains to remove.

Who THI DEUCE WAS IT? Brown tells us
Vermont story which he says, is as authen-
tic as the best OF the Post anecdotes, and, GER
tainly, nothing more can be required. re-
spectacle gentleman in Windsor county, many
years ago, had an ambition to represent his
town in the state legislature Though a man
OF good character, and every way able enough
for the Office he sought, he happened, as Aunt
Peggy used to say, to have ''a great many win
ming ways to make folks hate him, )" and was
in fact the most unpopular man in town. Co.
ing to Squire X, an influential man who hap
pened to be friendly to him, he laid his case
before him. and asked his influence; saying
that he didn't expect help without paying for
it, and declaring that if he could get X S in
fuence he was sure to be elected. The Squire
''put in his best jumps for his man; but
when the ballot box was turned, another man
was declared elected. The disappointed can
didate called to know how the votes stood,
and learned that he had got Just three rotes.
But don't understand it, said he, tnrning
to the Squire with chop fallen countenance.

A NFw MAP OF NERMoSr.-We learn that
a new and complete map of the State is now
in progress from original surveys recently
made under the direction of Mr. Ii. E. WAL
LING of New York 1t will be similar in
style to the county maps which have been
issued by Mr.. WALLryG within the last year or
two, of almost every county in the State, and
will comprise, of course on diminished
scale, the information given on those well
known maps. The new map will be five
feet square, and will show all the highways
and even the separate buildings, Except, of
course, in the crowded portions Of the vii
lages.) We believe that no large map of our
State as been issued since Whitelaw's, pub:
lished over thirty years ago. This new map
will, consequently, meet a widely felt want.
and will, we doubt not, receive an equally
wide distribution.
