JAIL DELIVERY IN MONROE COUNTY The

escape of thirteen prisoners from Monroe
county Jail. The prisoners seized the iailor,

no opportunity TO raise an alarm After he
was shut up his utmost efforts were unavail-

very heavy one, made OF two thicknesses

the Office while the struggle went on, per-
fecty unconscious of anything wrong. The

at is better to Save than to Destroy"

History tells US of conqueror who died
from pestilence caused by the dead bodies
of the vanquished. AS set-of against such
libel on humanity, we will point 10 phil
anthropist whose sole aim it is 10 overcome
disease. and rob the grave of victims. The
man 10 whom we refer is a foreigLer, an
Englishman, but can nowhere be looked
upon as an alsp, Tor he knows no distinc-
tion of race OF creed in his efforts 10 rescue
his fellow creatures from the grasp of death.
Our readers will readily surmise that we
refer to THOMAS HOLLOWAY, a name well
known in this country and wherever the
English language is spoken. The popular
ity which his marvellous remedies have
attained in all parts of Europe and America
is without a parallel in the annals OF medi-
cine. Here, in the United States, they are
recognized as indispensable household cur
atves. All classes resort to Holloway's 3
Pills in those diseases of the stomach, iiv-
er, and eJcretive organs, SO prevalent in
this climate, and no preparation is so ex-
tensively nsed as dressing for wounds,
bruises, ulcers, leprosy, cancers. tumors,
and other external injuries and diseases, as
Holloways Ointment.
If world wide reputation, founded on
the successful issues of twenty years. war.
fare with disease, in any compensation for
the labors Of the physician. Holloway has
unquestionably achieved it. The patronage
OF monarchs, he gratitude of the million,
The honors OF science, the eulogies of the
press-all are his. Ifhe possesses the pow
er OF the prince in the fairy tale, of traver-
sing the earth invisible, there are few por-
tions of il where he would find himself
stranger. He would meet with his remedies
among The aborigines of America, the lux
urious races of Asia, the blacks of Africa.
Not only are they standard medicaments of
civilization in its old domains, but they
seem 10 be The companions of its march
toward every point Of the compass. 1t is
no easy matter for any product of Europe
10 penetrate into the interior of China yet,
Holloway's Pills and Ointment are there -
Nay. more, they are actually advertised in
the heart of that exclusive empire. To de-
ny the intrinsic value of articles that have
been recognizes as specifics for innumera-
BILE disorders in all parts of the globe, would
be ridiculous. A community may be delu.
ded. but the whole world cannot be deceiv-
ed for twenty years in matter OF such vast

SINCE Gerritt Smith has been detected in
the "Kansas work" of old John Brown, the
Black Republican papers say he is Dem.
ocrat. That's unkind to Smith. He voted
for Fremont in 1856, was Republican
member of Congress from New York, and
used TO contribute his money by the thou
sand, when he and Reeder and other iana-
ties met up in Buffalo, TO purchase rifles to
send TO Kansas. But now that he is con.
vieted OF sending rifles 10 Virgina-a pro.
ceediug that may place him in Uncle Sans

Smith nerer voted a Democratic ticket in his
tch"le life. He is an out. and-out Abohtionisl
and Republican ; and between the two there
is no difference. "Shinny on your own

Political Faction and Treason.

Party, based upon comprehensive prin.
ciples Of National moment is, says the Penn
syfuaninn, no doubt, necessity of a Repub-
lican Government. Like everything else,
in this world of imperfeclions it may have
its shadowy side But it is essential tor the
preservation of Republican institutions that
opposite parties should exist. So long as
parties are nearly balanced, there is no dan.
ger OF the preponderance of any one OF
them degenerating into tyranny. But we
speak of party based upon honest convic-
tions of National scope, with National aims,
in con!radistinction of faction, which al.
ways originates in narrow interes.edness
and narrow circumscribed views, and which
is always extreme and fauatical in proper.

The disorders and mseries which result
gradually incline the minds of men to seek
security and repose in the absolute power
of an individual; and sooner or ia,er the

WASHINGTON AND EvERErr. We have

y II. Baily g. Co., of 543 Broadway, New
York, pair of very large, full length steel
engravings of Washington and Everett So

palmed upon the public as works of art, and
especially in cheap, black, and muddy en-

appropriate that The hero and his home
should be placed prominently before the
public.
MIR. Everett, from his position, fame, and
worth, as well as from his efforts in behalf
OF Mount Vernon, which have already con-
trlbuted over $4,000 TO the fund, is well
worthy of being associated with the mem
