A New and Grand Fpoch in MedicineI

DR.. MAGGfEL is the founder of new
Medical System The quantitarians,
whose vast internal doses enfeeble the
stomach and parolyzo The bowels, must
give precedence to the man who restores
health and appetite, with from one to two
Of his extraordinary Pills, and cures the
most virnlent sores with box or so of his
wonderful and all healing Salve. These
two great specifics of the Doctor are fast
superseding all the stereotyped nostrums
of the day. Extraordinary cures by
Maggieps Pills and Salve have opened
the eyes of the public to the ineflicicncy
of the ESQ called) remedies OF others, and
upon which people haye so long blndly
depended. AIaggiel's Pills are not of She
class that swallowed by the dozen, and
of which every box full taken creates an
absolute necessity for another. One or
two of Maggiels Pills sufIices to place the
bowels in perfect order, tone the stomach,
creates an appetite, ana reader the spirits
light and buoyant There is no gripping,
and no reaction in the form of constpa-
tion. If the liver is affected, its iunc-
tions are restored; and if the nervous
system is feeble, it is nvigorated This
last quality makes the medicines very
desirable for the wants of delicate fe.

thus incite to industry economy, and thrift.
Wealth, much or little, in the hands of many or
few individuals is a blessing or curse according as
il is well or i'll used Such men as Stephen Grard,
John Jacob Astor Peter Cooper, and Ezra Cornell, do
great good with vast wealth; while many who are
not worth s. on earth do great harm with the little
they have by getting drunk and abusing their families
and others 1t is not the amount but the use Of a
mans wealth that renders it a curse or a blessing.
We know no way in which labor can be cheap
ened but by yredueing the proportion Of demand to
supply. If many want, while few are wanted, to
work for wages Labor must be drug in the markets

ceases to be a competitor for wages aud becomes in

WORDS ARE DOLLARS.

Massachusetts, has just lost n sum estimated at two
million Of dollars by the omission Of few words in
recent statute at the last sion Of the Legislature
a statute was passed, after a long debate, which
largely increased the penalties for violations Of the
prohibitory liquor law. 1t contained clause which
repealed all previous statutes the subject; but it
neglected to provide that this enactment should not
affect cases already before the courts for violations Of
the then existing law.
There was very large number of convictions
under the old law awaiting the decision of the Su-
preme Court on technical point There was not much
doubt that these cases would have been decided in favor
Of the prosecution and that thereby revenue Of fines
amounting in all to perhaps 100000, would have
been transferred from the foul vaults of the rumseer
to the ceanly Golfers of the Commonwealth. But, in
asmuch as the convictions were had under the
old law, which the new bill repealed, and
as to have fined them under the recent act would
have been to inAict an post Jaeto penalty, and,
therefore would have been plainly unconstitutional,
the criminals have escaped all punishment under
the usual rules Of legal Interpretation Nor is this
the only loss These convictions were obtained only
after arduous efforts on the part OF tho State
Constabulary, who, appointed by the Common
wealth, and uninnuenced by local interests, have
zealously endeavored to enforce the Prohibtory
law, which the municipal police never even at
tempted to do. Their zeal and work has gone
for nothing Worse still, large numbers OF liquor
dealers were recently induced TO close their dens
on condition that the convictions obtained against
them should not be enforced, but held in sus-
pense over them. These men-mainly Of the low

THE PARIS CONFERENCE.

We have at length from Vienna the official an
nouncement that the Austrian Government has de-
cared its readiness to take part in the proposed Con-
ference and that thus the last doubt to its assem-
bling has been removed. The Paris Moni-
teur further informs us that its sessions Will
be opened as soon as possible. Some papers
circulate the report that the Conference is to enerupon
discussion Of the questions concerning. Germany and
Italy, and that it may be deemed best to enlarge this
assembly into a general European Congress, by in
viting to it the representatives. of all the other Powers
This however, is not probable, because the addition
Of any new European complication to the knotty sub
jects which must engage the approaching Conference
would be one of the greatest obstacles TO its final sue
cess.
We know little more than before of the dis
positions Of the armed Powers and consequently OF
the prospects Of the success Of the Conference.
The Moni'sw has recently published an arii'
clio denying any intention on the part oil the
Government Of France TO extend Its frontiers
By special treaties with Italy and Prussia, and
the article has had n considerable influence
upon the Paris money market But its effect was at
once neutralzed by report from the French Minister
of War to the Emperor, proposing notifications IN
the nnety-eght fortified towns Tho opinion Is
almost general tha. the Conference will soon see the
impossiblity of harmonzing the conflicting views
of the different Powers

sins Of such fellow as Mgan, Who perhaps believes
that he is really speaking the truth. Mr.. Calhoun,
we regret to aver, was the grand ancestor oil this
brood of blackguards lie set the fashion OF sneerng
at the Purtans and it has been kept up, with spirit IL
not with vigor, ever since. 1t was fine thing Tor
Patriarch perspirng from his exertions at the whip
pngpost to aver that the Purtans were also slave
whippers though the reason why he should like them
the less for that not so apparent. 10 prove tha
the Purtans hanged the Quakers was held to be the
end of controversy By those who were always ready
and eager to hang Aboltonists To recount the story
of Salem witchcraft was esteemed perfect defense
OF property in man. and New Englanders were held to
be in equity estopped from protesting against modern
cruelties because their tgraEdatherS were
bgoted, superstitous, and intolerant Yet no doubt,
in Mr. Calhoun's opinion, the saveholdng OF Massa'
chusets was the brightest feature in her early history
He had no particular respect for QuakerS. lie had no
particular sympathy for witches Yet to be able to
say that the New England of 1920 was behind the
New-England of 1920 in all that appertans to civil
Justice was thought by Mr.. Calhoun to be rare
privilege and q reOinder to which there could be no
response Yet it was after this fashion that Mr. Cal
houn, himself a man of New-England education, be-
sotted the inteects and betrayed the Judgment OF
thousands Of bis disciples manOwners, and the jack
ais of man-owners until it became the established
usage to assume in Congress, in convocatons, ana
eyen we are ashamed to say, in religious conventions
that all the crimes of the South in 1867 were at least
palliatod By the crimes Of Plymouth and Ma8sachu'
sets Bay in 1880.
What Button may think Of Boston may be Of
very little consequences but when many of theseoose-
tongucd Milligans are striving to create sectional
eaouses, there being already at the West some ten
dency in that direction it is well to show how utterly
empty and untrue is the Alilligan style of declama'
ton. It only proves what everybody might have
known before, that there are bad men even in the
loyal States and that few decided Union reyerses
might have exposed US to all the perils OF treason
andnsurrection at our own doors 1t is the hope and
desire Of Milgan as expressed in bis speech, that
what he calls THE Democratic Party" may again
came into power" lie tells bis Button neighbors that
the Government is robbing them to enrich New-En-
gland. He tells them that political power sis in tue
hands Of privileged olgarchy" He is indignant that
Indiana should be taxed to pay the interest on nation
al securities held by bloated Bo5tonians and New
Yorkers That is be appeals to pockets and passions
and preudices-he is serving the ends Of disahecton,
and when the Democratic party" gets once more
into power he expects TO reap the full harvest OF con-
fscaton and population.

Another Sunday Of comparative rest and order has
added evidence to the value and efficacy Of the
Excise Law. We are aware that one brewer of evil
beer more daring than his fellows, succeeded in dis
turbing the temperance OF one section Of
tho city and keeping in town por-
ton Of the riotous spirits who every Sunday render
uncomfortable al those neighborng places which fail
to protect themselves by wholesome excise laws. The
task was given to this onterprsing publican to prove
by virtue Of drunken verdict and under cover Of an
Injunction restraining the Excise Commissioners,
that beer is not intoxicating. If beer has no inHu
ence which can be felt by common drinkers and
accustomed sots then more exciting spirits must have
been OF work among the brewers shades yesterday.
