MAJOR Bolts TO HIS NATURAL1zED FELLOW
CITIZENS
To the Editors Of the M Y. Ereninq Post:
Some Of my naturalized fellow citizens
having asked my opinions on the doctrine
of political allegiance, as set forth in the
letter of the Hon. Secretary Cass, I beg
the favor Of your columns to convey to them
the following brief expressions. Permit me
to say also, that my nameis before the coun.
try in connection with the Presidency. with
out any personal effort on my part, and that
it is not the desire to influence votes that
prompts me to address you.
That down-trodden victim of European
despotism who seeks refuge on these shores
is, in my humble opinion, from that time
forth within the sacred precincts of the
American Confederated States of Liberty. :
The talons of that proud bird which tore
the flag of Ireland's oppressor from the cloud
piercing topmast, which for successive cen
turtles pierced the belt Of Orion as he whirl-
ed his nightly course in the heavens, will
not pause to clutch with fierce ire and to
scatter in thousand shreds, the breeze
Haunting emblems of oceanic pseudo-sover-
eighty. Gentlemen, the beak of that glori-
GUS fowl will dart with the velocity of light
ming to avenge the wrongs Of outraged Ire
land, and to yindicate the bleeding wounds
of the sons Of the glorious fatherlaEd. Let
but single naturalized hair Of foreign
born citizen be extracted by the impious au-
tocrats Of Europe, and the fleets Of our
mighty confederation shall send the roll of
their deep mouthed cannon from Plum Gut
to the Golden Horn. JOHN Boris,
Major 1st Brigade.

THE Pill TRADE. Who could dream of
the magnitude such an undertaking as the
manufacture Of a Purgative Pill assumes

forth to combat and subdue. DR.. J. G..
Aver Of Lowell manufacture is his labora-

thus find over $4,000 persons swallow this
pill every day, or 1896, 900 month
Physicians, think Of that! $4,000 patients
