STARTLING PROCEEDINGS - DAE.
Rrce's RHrNoCxRos IN ILLINorsrowN.-
About IL O'Clock last night the citizens
OF Illinoisto wn, opposite this city, we're
startled from their slunbers by most
terrific nose-a sort OF cross between
the howl of byena and the roar OF a
lion. The whole town was speedily
aroused, and many Of the first citizens
armed themselves with sticks, stones,
clubs, and whatever was most conven-
lent, and rushed out of their houses ex-
pccting to meet terrible foe. A party
was sent out to reconnoisre. They pur-
sned their way cautiously along Main
street to the river, for distance OF about
two miles, and finally, through the a,d
Of an opera glass, discovered q most hid
eous and nonstrous object making its
way out of the river directly towards
the row of costly warehouses along the
leyce between Main and Broadway
streets. Tie hideous and moDstrous OBJ
lect proved to be Dan Rice's khinocer-
os The alarm was Immediately given
to the reserve corps of Home Guards,
and the Chief of Police telegraphed at
once to Bcllevillc, Macoupin and st.
Louis, for the several fire companies In
those places. Meantime the rhinoceros
Numbered along up the Ievee bank, tear
ing up the large paving bouldcrs and
hurting them in the direction OF the
Court House in this city with the most
perfect nonchalance. 1t was feared that
before the arrival of the engines from
BelIev;llc and Macoupin the enraged an
imal would batter down the row OF ele-
giant warehouses directly towards which
he was Icisurcly making his way.
At this critical juncture OF affairs the
Mayor and Common Council Ct Illinois
town came to the rescue. The Mayor
at once read the Riot Act, together
with extracts from our contemporaries,
the Nescs and Democrat, relating to the
interesting question SO recently discuss
ed by those two organs, as to whether
or not the rhinoceros is amphbious. 10
the surprise of all, the reading OF the
latter had no sooner been concluded
than the rhinoceros gave terrific snort
and, as ii to practically demonstrate the
vexcd question OF its umphibiousness,
plunged into the river and disappeared.
The engine companies arrived shortly
after, but, to the disappointment OF all,
refused to "play," and returned home,
"wiser, if not better men," 1t is suppos.
cd to have been the work Of an incen-
diary.
The impression prevails that Dan
Rice is a rank Seccssionist, in the SER
vice of the Confederate army, and that
he designcdly turned his rhinocerous in
to the Mississippi for the purpose Of
lifting the blockade at Cairo. 1t is sur
missed the rhinoccros has gone forward
for that purpose.-M. Louis EepubH-

A Good Simile.

Hon. JOS Holt, in his late speech at
Boston, said
"The disnemberment of the Union
involves the abascment Of all that OF
which as Americans we feel proud,
which we have received as an inherit
ance from our fathers and which we are
bound to transmit unimpaircd to our
posterlty. When the wise men of Old,
sitting upon the rival claims of two
mothers to a child, decrecd that the
child should be cut in twain and one
portion gwen to each, it was the false
mother which exulted at the judgment,
while the true mother turned away hor-
ror-strnck, prefcrring 10 leave her off
spring III the hands Of an enemy rather
than have it destroyed. The man who
is willing that his country should be d.
vidcd By the sword of treason may have
been born in America. but he cannot
lave an American heart"
The young men around Richmond,
Ind, are forming a cavalry company,
and the farmers thcreabouts are pre-
sentlng them with horses. Each farmer
having aspare horse is contributing him
to the good cause. This looks as ifthe
Revolutionary spirit was still abroad.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil

is constitutional disease, a corruption OF The
blood, by which this fluid becomes Ntated
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, i
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
IN disease on any part of it. No organ Is freS
from its attacks, nor is there ons which il may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis.
ordered or unhealthy food impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary IN the con-
stitution, descending /" from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generations; indeed.
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, al
will visit the iniquities Of tlS faSisars uDOa
their children" .'@7 ~ -s sTs>
Its effects commence by deposition from tns
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and On
the surface, eruphons or sores. This foul cor
rupton, which genders in the blood, depressee
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu
tions not only suffer from scrofulous com
plants, but they have fur less power to with.
stand the attacks of other diseases cdrses
quently vast numbers perish by disordera
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scroftAous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain.
and, indeed, of all the organs arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people afe scrofulous !;
their persons are invaded by this hirking in
fection, and their health is undermined BY it,
10 cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise

A ATE ER7S
Ague Cure,
FOE TIE SPEEDY CURE OF

Inter1nittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for che whole class of d diseases originals
ing ia hillary arrangement, caused by
the Malaria of Miasmatic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless III any
quantity Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms ltisnot only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach Of every body; and in bilious DISTRICTS where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec
ton. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermtents is that it contains no Qunine
or mineral consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as If
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence Of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gont, Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache, Eardche, CdtaYTh, AsthnG, PaL
pitation, Painful affection of the Spleen, Hyster-
rungensent of the Stomach, all Of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the intermittent
type, or become periodical. This "CURE" expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike 1t is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarous districts. If taken ecca-
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to rpen into dis
case. Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure, and few will ever suffer from Inter-
mittents if they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.

AYERS ...
Compound Extract Of SarsapariIId,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from Its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure Of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERuPTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
RosE, or ERYsIpELAs, PMpLEs, PusTuLEs,

EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEDIITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in "impwity ofthe blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue Of this Sarsapa-
rila is to purify and regencrate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions,

for tho four Nations OF the Choctaws,
Chickasaws,l Greeks, and Seminoles,
in token that these Christian tribes
of red man are encircled by our pro
lection, and are with us and of us.
When, if ever we deem it fit to treat
with the .Cherokees. fifth red star
will form the centre of the cross.
The Commissioner will not again
seek to treat with Mr.. Ross, nor with
the Cherokees while he remains in
power; but the Government will not
desert, nor leave unprotected the
friends Of the South among the Cher
okees. Mr.. Ross exerted all the in
huence in his power with the Greeks,
to prevent the making and ratitica-
ton of the Treaty by the Greeks, but
was signally defeated. He has al
ways been on the wrong side, since
1885, at least, when he measured
himself against the Government. and
he is resolved to be on the wrong
side still. fthe Cherokees suffer on
account of his acts, they have them
selves alone to blame. If the North
ern States pay them for their ''Aeu-
trail Land" which cost them half a
million in 1885. and is now to all IN
tents and purposes a part of Kansas
they will be lucky There will no
longer be any Southern members i'll
the Senate of the United Statee, to
make reports in their favor, or to vote
them millions. Perhaps Mr.. Ross
Northern friends may do it.

Blankets to this good purpose. Ev-
cry family, nemly-certainly every
planter-can spare from one to halt

ply. They should be sent to some
