Referring to the above letter we again state
that we claim that the wines we send,to Ameri-
caare of the best and finest shipped to that mar
ket and at equal prices are superior in purity
and quality to those of any other brand impor-
ted into the United States.
We, therefore, cannot permit that another
House OF similar name, shall injure our rep
utation, or cause confusion by using similar
Trade Marks or Show Cards, ana we feel that il
is our duty to protect our friends and custom-
erS from the effects OF such confusion, and
therefore We explain to the public the distinc-
ton and real merits OF both similar names.
II the public will only take the trouble for its
own benefit to compare our wines with others
and particularly with those OF sim liar name.
1t will soon discover the reason why said wines
can be obtained by the trade, according to its
quality, at less prices than ours, although re
tailed at the same rate, and after such trial we
feel confident that those DESTROYS OF using first
class wines will always insist upon having ours,
and refuse to permit the substitution of those
OF similar name for that OF

About Ringbone.

Ino,ieed in late number, an inquiry
for the cure of what is called ringbone,
from a respondent who had a fine mare
troubled with one for something over a
year. and the answer was, that there was
no cure for confirmed ringbone.
Now tive years ago this winter, had q
fine colt that had ringbone on each OF its
hind feet, and was so lame some at the
time, that could hardly get it out and in
the stable. did not do anything for it
till spring, and they got so bad that the col,
had 10 walk upon its heels, with its feet
turned up, and supposed that she was sl.
most worthless. Finally one of my neigh
bors told me tha, he had remedy for a
bone SPAWN, and il was said 10 be sure
cure for ringbone, and wished me TO try it.
II was this: Take common salt, and pound
or grind il as fine as can possibly get, and
mix 1t with spirits of turpentIDe enough 10
make it something Ike paste, and rub it on
the ringbones or spavin) once in two or
three days, for three or four times, and If
they have no! been of too long standing, l
think you will effect sure cure. This
colt of mine had but three applications Of
this medicine. and l then turned her out to
pasture, and she soon grew better, and in
short time was entirely free from lameness,
and has been ever since. She is now COM
ing three years old, and has as sound feet
As any colt, though there are some punches

more, they will entirely disaPpear.-[COr

An old Eeud Revived.
JFrom the New York Post.1

II appears by the latest foreign intelligence that
the old religious feuds of Ireland have not been
fully suppressed. On the twelfth Of July last
the anniversy of the battle Of the Boyne, there
were many severe encounters between the Protes-
tants and Catholics, some of them ending in
death, and all of them in broken heads In the
neighborhood OF Lurgan especially, the affray
was serious. -,a :
II is the custom Of the Irish protestants to eel
citrate the anniversary Of the great battle fought
in 1890, between the English, Dutch and allied
forces under William Ill.,, and the French and
Irish refugees and other supporters of the de-
posed monarch James Ii. Ii was one of the most
important battles in English history, and is right
fully commemorated. The rival claimants to
the throne of three kingdoms, after long and
bloody contest, met there to engage in final
struggle. The battle was spirited and yet less
sanguinary than any other OF equal importance
and celebriety. OF the Irish, only fifteen hun
dref fell, and about one third of that number on
the English side. But the consequences were
momentous.
. James, the hereditary posseseor or the crown,
representative OF the sacred rights of himself aud
his child, as they were deemed, ally of France
and the hope Of the catholic world, was over
thrown forever. William, the founder OF new
dynasty, with whose cause was involved the
cause OF national and popular right, was the VIC
tor. AL Europe watched the event with breath
less anxiety,
The victory of The Boyne, however, was not
mere triumph Of Professionalism over Catholicism
and should never be commemorated as SUCH
1t was the triumph of civil and religious liberty
over depotism and intolerance, and, men who treat
that event as certain conquest neither UNDER
stand history nor the principles involved in the
English revolution. Protestants especially ought
TO avoid every mode Of speech and of action
which may lead others 10 associate sectarianism
with the great struggle OF winch the conflict of
the Boyne was simply an episode. We fear that
they do not always do SO in Ireland, and whiting
Iy or unwitt insly, give unnecessary cause Of o.
fence.

Anecdote Of DR.. Enmcns.

The doctor, it is said, was no great lOTeE
Of sweet sounds, and religiOusiy excluded
from his meeting house all instrumental
music, except a little mahOgony oOlO.ed
wooden pitsh-pipe of an eighteen mo-
book. A member of his choir had learned
to play the base viol, and anxious 10 ex-
hibit his skill, early one sunday norrIrF
most unadvisably introduced his Zig fiddle
into the singing gallery. After ths frsi
prayer was ended, and the doctor began 10
handle his Watts the base yiola lifted up
his proclamation, and trying his strings, in
stantly attracted the doctsr's attention.
He paused laid down bis hymn book, took
his sermon from the cushion and proceeded
with his discourse as if singing was nc
part of public worship, and finally dismis:-
ed the congregation wiihsut Dots or COM
nent. The whole choir were indignant.
they stayed after meeting, and all the girls
and young men resolved no. to 60 into the
singing seats at all in The afternoon, and
the elders who did not 60 there, bore the
visages Of men with minds made up.
Service began as usual In the afternoon.
The doctor took his book in his hand, look
cd over his spectacles a, the gallery, and
saw only few there, but nothing daunted
read psalm and sat down. Ne sound fol-
lowed, no one stirred, and the leader look,
ed up in utter uneonsciousness. ,..-.
After long and most uneasy silence,
the good man, bis face somewhat overfiush-
ed, his manner rather stern, read the
psalm again, paused then re-read the frs.
verse, and pushing up his spectacles, look
cd interrogatively at the gallery,
The leader could not bear it no longer
and half rising, said decidedly:
There went De any singing here this
afternoon
Then there went be any preaching!'
said the doctor, quick as thought; ard
taking bis cooked hat from its peg, he
marched down the pulpit stairs, through
the broad aislei and out of the house, leay-
ing his congregation utterly astonished. =

How Jed Missed It.

Some folks are in the habit Of talking il
their sleep, and Miss Betsy Wilson was o
the number. This peo ulia tywas sccidsn-
tally revealed to Jedeiah Jenkins, in care
less conversational way. Jediah had jusI
finished the recital of matrimonial dream
in which the young lady and himself figured
as hero and heroine, he having invented
the same, for the sake Of saying, st the con-
olusion i, was ''toO good to be true" and
by thu, speaking parallels, assuring the
dsmssl of what he dared not speak plainly.
II never dream" said Betsy, '-but
sometimes talk half the night, and tell every
thing know in my sleep"
"You don't say So"
ayes, / can never keep q secret from
mother; if she wants to know anything she
pumps me after I've gone to bed, and an
swer her questions as honestly as if my life
depended on it. That's the reason /
wouldn't go to ride the other night. /
know she would find it QUIT 10 awfully
provoking.
Some days after this, Jed called at the
house, and entering the parlor unannoune.
ed, found Miss BstseY, probably overcome
by the heat Of the weather, had fallen
asleep on the sofa.
Now Jed, as the reader has surnised, had
long felt an overwhelming partislity far the
young lady, and yearned TO know if it was
returned, but, though possessed Of sufio-
lent courage to mount "ths imminent dead
ly breach"-or brseches, (connubial ones,
we mean) he could never muster spunk
enough to enquire into the state Of her
heart. But he now bsthOught himself of
her confessed somnanbulic lOquacity and
felt that the time to ascertain his fate had
come. Approaching the sofa, be whis-
pered--
My dear Betsy, tell ne oh, tell me, the
object Of your fondsst affections"
The fair sleeper gave a faint sigh and
responded-"I love-let me think-(here
yeu might have heard the beating Of Jsd's
heart through brick wall)-I love beav-
en-, mycountry, and baked beans; but if l
have snepassiOn above all olhsrs, it is for
roast enions."
The indignant lover didn't wake her, but
sloped al once, a sadder but moi a wiser
man.
