Compound Extract Of SarsapariIla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise forzthis 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 ERupTrvE

two since we have heretofore noticed, has
turned up as the Captain of the U. S. NOR
tar feet now organizing at Cairo.
The Major made his first appearance in
our city in the capacity Of a lecturer on Brit
ish India" His courteous and refined man
ners obtained him an entrance into our best
society during his stay here. But the old
story concerning trouble in my "remittances"
was told, and certain parties in this city were
victimized by him to the extent of several
hundred dollars. We believe he played the
same game upon the credulouspeople of Collar
Rapids that he executed so successfully in
Muscatine. We INDUCED in some remarks
in relation to his "lttle affair" in this vicinity
which coming to the ears of our redoubtable
Major, he grew exceedingly wrathy and threat
ened to cowhide US upon his return to this

him since, however. If he is half as good al

. The PRICE OF GAs-At the present price
of this Illuminating article very few of our
citizens can afford to indulge in the luxury
Of gas light. Four dollars and fifty cents per
thousand cubic feet of this sweetly cented ex-
tract of coal is in our opinion going into the
pictures extensively. We can see no reason
why such figures should be charged by the
company at this place. Coal is cheap 1t
does not cost as much to-day as it did two
years ago. Labor is cheap-fully as cheap
as it ever was in this vicinity. Why then
does the company pile on the rates? Because
It imagiaes it has monopoly of the light
business in Muscatine. In this, however, we
fancy it is "slghtually" is,aken. Kerosene
is rapidly superceeding all other sources of
light and the time is not far distant when the
Gas & Coke company of this city will be
Obliged to lower its exorbitant charges or
suspend operations. The opinion is gradu
ally forcing itself in the minds of the people
that this gas whistle costs more than it comes

A MIsrAKE.-Our country friends are mis-
constituting our remarks in regard to the ia
nous "cow ordinance of this city. They
are entirely mistaken when they suppose
that we are opposed to a law of this nature.
If we mistake not, it was the JOURNAL that
first suggested the propriety Of our City
Council taking steps toward combining the
cows that commit depredations by "taking
things" out Of wagons, sleighs, &c. But the
way the ordinance now reads, it is the next
thing to an impossibility to enforce it. The
farmer must come and make sworn state
ment as to the color, probable age, &C., Of the
cow that is trespassing on his property
This complaint must be in black and white.
By the time the warrant is in the hands Of
the officer, the bovine depredator has gone,
absquatulated, cut sticks, left or decamped fol
parts unknown. Either the law should for.
bid cattle to run at large altogether, within
certain limits, or let them alone entirely.
