The Davenport Bros. who it will be
remembered, were giving spiritual exhibi.
tons in this part Of the country about a
year ago, were sued as swindlers in New.
castle, England. The suit was brought on
the ground that the money obtained from
those who attended their exhibitions was
procured under false pretences, the DAven-
ports announcing that their manifestations
were supernatural, while the complainant
and the public believed them to be a
thorough swindle. The judge decided,
however, that if the people would be so
foolish as to pay their money to see such
manifestations, it could no, b. said that
they had been deluded by false pretences.

PoruLARlrY.-A great many people at the
present day think more Of obtaining publici ~
and popularity, than Of any other one thing
they could possibly be possessed Of. But,
anxious as they may be to acquire the vain
glory Of the popular voice, none ever succeeded
TO so great an. extent as has that world
renowned remedy known as Goes Cough
Balsam. There is scarcely family in the
land but what considerd a supply Of this article
as necessary to the household as their feur or
provisions. Experience has taught the people
that no other remedy has ever been put before
the public that will cure coughs, colds, Group,
sore throat, and in fact all throat and lung
complaints, as quickly and as effectually as
Goes Cough Balsam. In the Eastern States,
where it has been long known and tested, it is
considered as the most reliable cough remedy
extant, and no one, either rich or poor, thinks
of being without it. We would suggest to oil
our readers the necessity Of keeping on hand
an article of this kind for immediate use. 1t
costs but doc. per bottle, and is sold at all our
drug stores, and is the cheapest and best rem
edy in the world. N.

The Muscatine journal publishes the
following as its toast:
Geo. Washington, the Father of Our
Country; Abraham Lincoln, its Stepfather.

A swindle.

A svAndle.
Sergeant MEEwrN, Of the N. Y. Mounted
Infantry, in a letter published last week,
calls the enlistment of men to servo out
unexpired terms and then held for full
term, "a swindlc." We were in receipt,
some weeks ago, of a circular bearing on
this very case, with request to publish.
The Circular or Appeal got away from US
at the time, and the subject slipped out of
memory. Merwiu's letter revived the point
and we have now looked up the Circular.
Be low the reader will find it. AS Congress
is just in session, perhaps general publ.
cation Of this most yillainous official con.
duct toward "the boys in blue' whom high
Government officers affect SO to love, may
bring about reform. The language of
the Circular is severe, but the proofs of
fraud adduced are irrefutable:
Aa APPEAL from tie Soldiers Of tie Fi,,t
and Third loua Caralry Volunteers,
scho enlisted In 1852, to the People of the
United Stetes, in Congress Assembled:
We ask the attention Of the reasoning
public, while We address a memorial Of the
wrongs under which We Involuntary serve
in our country's army. Some of us enlist
ed in 1862, and all were enlisted with the
assurance Of the several Recruiting Officers,
and the Mastering Officer, Capt. Hender-
schodt, that we should serve no longer than
the unexpired term of the regiment, which
term expired the 9th of September, 1864.
That we were thus enlisted, the War De-
partment itself does no. pretend to deny:
but it denies giving the authority for so
men. Below we give an official
document printed in the Chicago Tribune
and other papers, in June and July, 1864:
