Fema1e.-This word is often i'm
properly used for woman. In listening
to debate the other evening, we noticed
that it was so used in many instances, and
we frequently find it in print. Such a
use is uncourteous to woman. Equine
qHaJrupeds with frisky colts neighing
after them, are females. Those sober,
thoughtful, Illuminating animals who fur
nish the butter for our tables, are nearly
all respectable females. A grunting shote
is as apt to be q female as otherwise, and
a sheep called eve may always be rec
koued as one.
Now it is hardly respectful to apply to
a mother or sister term which equally
desiguates horse, cow, a hog o, sheep.
We read that Adam said of Eve" She
shall be called Woman" Let us apply
the same respectful word to all her daagh-
EeFs.

River Ealls.-FRANK DAGaETT,
of the Chronicle gives our village the fol-
lowing, frst-rate, truthful notice.
"ln company with friend we paid
River Falls, our growing sister of the
Kinickinic, short visit the other day.
River Falls IS the gem of the St. Croix
Valley. We had heard much of its
beautiful location, and the quiet magnif-
cence of the surrounding scenery, and we
can cheerfully subscribe to all that we
had heretofore heard. The clear, spark
ling Kinickinic flows through the town,
adding much to its beauty, and greatly
enhancing its wealth. Beautiful bluffs
surround the village on every side, and
it seems as it rests within their sheltcring
fold, like some precious gem guarded by
q golden circlet. AS a summer resort
River Falls has superior claims upon the
pleasure seeker. Its scenery when the
Summer Queen hath clad our mother
earth in garments of"living green" must
be grand in its own quiet simplicity
We can imagine nothing more beautiful
than those hills and "vales between u
which surround it, blushing with flowers
which not only give rich perfume for the
qualification of our physical senses, lu
also create in our hearts anew, feel no
Of confidence in the wisdom and goodness
of the grea: Creator.
But we need not go into any disserta-
ton as to the merits of River Falls. =
She has most gallant champion in the
Journal, and we sincerely hope she may
always deserve its most strenuous exer-
tons, by meeting otft to 1t a generous
support.

The Jury take pleasure in expressing their

thing which met their observation at the Aims
House. The neatness and CLEANLINESS of the

great credit upon those who have charge of
the public property, and comfort of that unfor-
tunate class whose misfortunes compel them to
be placed there. The Jurors coul suggest some
improvements which might add much to the
value OF the property, and convenience OF the
inmates, but deem it prudent to leave this for
the future, and better times In visiting the
Jail they regret that they did not discover cause
for SO favorable Il report. The building is too
small and totally unsafe for the safe keeping OF
the desperate criminals who are placed there,
and does not afford such comforts rs should be

The Atlanta, (Ga.) american, has an ar
ticIe upon the calibre, and general good-for-
nothingness of some of the fire eating cham
pions down that way. The following is ra-
ther a graphic portraiture:
tTheir glance is as stern as destiny itself.
Like Jupiter, when the stern gravity of the
Senate of the Skies was overthrown by that
ugly and iIl-maunered Thersites,"
"Shakes his ambrosial curls and gives the nod,
The stamp Of fate and sanction of the god
High heaven the awful signal takes,
And all Olympus TO ;he center shakes"
Between pity and contempt, it is hard
to tell where public opinion will settle, They
grunt so repeatedly and say 30 Lord! SO
loud-so Historically they complain, that one
can hardly resist the conviction that while
it is all done for the poor, oppressed, outraged
and weeping South, there is indeed but little
the matter.
"Their complaints remind us of song Of
forty-nine verses. 1t runs:
THE Miller's big dog lay on the barn floor,
And Bingo was his name

that follow are similar. The chorus is;

Tue funeral solemnites of the Rev. DR.
Johns, in Baltimore, on Sunday afternoon,
though conducted without display of any
kind, we're exceedingly impressive. The
church was thronged long before the services
commenced, and hundreds stood outside I'M
able to gain admittance. Besides those in
the carriages, and tho number who walked
among whom were members of all denomi-
nations, many followed on the sidewalks and
thronged into the cemetery to pay last tri-
butte of respect to one who held so high a
position in the esteem and reverence of the
community At the grave the services were
brief, but the solemn quiet which character
lied the large number in attendance, and the
evidence of earnest grief on every side, rem
dered them peculiarly impressive.

PROGRESS IMPossIBLE-THE GOAL REA

PROGRESS IMPossIBLE-THE GOAL REACH
ED AT BoUNp'-We call this the age Of
progress. 1t is so. But in some departments
of science discoveries have Eecn made, and
p ,tical systems introduced, which leave
nothing to be desired in the way of improve
ment, and which, in fact, preclude progress
by giving us perfection at outset. For eX-
ample, when professor HOLLOWAY, some
twenty-five years ago, gave to the world his
inestimablc remedies, he seems to have left no.
thing even for himself to achieve, in the treat
ment of human maadics. The progress of the
demand for his Pills aud Ointment, has in =
deed, been unparalleled in the history Of med
icine; but he has found no reason to alter a
single ingredient or vary proportion. We
therefore class the sovereign antidote for OK
tcrnal and internal disease with which that
distinguished medical reformcr has blessed
the world, among the inventions which are
perfected at their birth.
Our method of arriving at q correct appre-
citation of tho respective merits of opposing
system is by comparison. Now we have seen
great deal of what is called regular practice
and do not hesitate to say that it fails more
| Frequently than it succeeds. This is not the case
with Holloways Pills and Ointment. In
many instances-somc of which should be
specified if space permitteed-we have seer
these remedies effect complete and permanent
cures, when eminent members of the faculty
had exhausted their rcpertoires without find
ing anything that would even Alternate the
agonies of their patients Testimony confirm.
atory of our own observations on the subject
is continually pouring in from all parts OF
the Union, and we cannot refuse ercdence a
like to our own senses, the common sense Of
the public, and the almost universal opinion
of our brethren of the press.
The case as between the Faculty and Pro-
fessor Holloway seem to stand thus: The fac
ulty have the prestige Of antiquity, and au-
thority and usage.
Holloway, on the other hand, is not man
of mouldy maxims. Small respect has he
for Galen or Cannon. He cities no authori-
ties, save living witnesses and contemporary
facts A few pages suffice to develope his
system and embrace his simple directions.-
He denounces mercury and all corrosive poi
sons, and does not believe that liM can be
saved by draining its fountains. Above all.
he furnishes the whole civilized, and no small
portion of the semi-barbarian and savage
world with Pill, and an OINTMENT, which
appear to accomplish al! that the Faculty
aim at, but in five case out Of six fails to af-
feet For diseases ofthe stomach, the liver,
the bowels and kidney, rs well as for ordina-
pulmonary affections, the PILLS are absolute
specifics and the sufferer from external dis
orders or injuries may recover under the OPP
Grafton of the OINTMENT, when nothing else
will save him.-Northern Express
