The Springfield Republican says-speak-
ing of the Southern States =

ing Of the Southern States -
Their States, which they pride themse Ives
in, are out Of normal relations with that Gov
eminent They are not represented in it
They have no constitutional connections with
it, unless to pay taxes without any represen-
tativn be constitutional connection. If there
be one political principle more than another
grained into the heart and mind of the Ameri-
can people, it is that taxation and represent
tation go together. Now, to expect the South
ern people, under these circumstances, to fling
up their caps and shout hosanna to the Ma
tional Government, is to display puerile ig-
noranca of the fundamental principle of hu-
man nature: To expect them to be anything
else on the whole than sullen and bitter, while
their States are ajar with the central au-
shofity while their representatives are re-,
Jected and their taxes demanded, while their
crimes are exaggerated in high places and
they are told by the most prominent legisla
tor in the National Government, from his
high place on the floor of the House, that hell
Is only too good for the whole eight million
Of them, would be to credit them with more Of
angelic virtue than falls to the lot of our
average humanity. It's time for the people
and the press to speak out. 1t is PRIMARILY
question Of universal patriotic concernment
but it has obvious relations to the fate of par
ties also. It has been and is now as clear as
daylight to everybody but the politicians,
that if the Republican party. does not admit
to Congress- loyal representatives from the
South, another party that will do it will soop
take its place. ..llsi'4 934

a Rough Honey-Noon.
From the Cleveland Plaindealer

On last Friday morning, an atheletic young
farmer, in the town of Wayensburg, took fair
girl, call bathed in bushes from her parents
and started for the first town across the Pennsyl-
vanIa line, to be married, where the ceremonv
could DO performed without a license. The hap
Ply pair were accompanied by sister of the girl
tall gaunt .sharp-teatu, ed female of some thir-
ty-seven summers The pair crossed the line
were married, and returned 20 WelisvI!e 10 pass
the night. People at the hotel where the wed
ding party stopped, observed that they copduc-
ted themselves in a rather singular manner
The husband would take his sister-In-law the tall
female aforesaid, into one corner of the paror,
and talk earnestly 10 her, gestlcuating wildly all
the time. Then the tall female would "put her
foot down, and talk TO him in angry and ex-
cited manner. Then the husband would take
his fair young bride into corner; but he would
no sooner commence talking to her, than tie
gaunt sister would rush in between them and
angriiy join in the conversation. The people at
the hotel ascertained what this meant about
nine clock that evening. There was an uproar
in the room which had been assigned to the new
ly married couple Female shrieks and mascu-
line "swears" started the people in the hotel and
they rushed to the spot. TIE gaunt female was
pressing against the door of the room and tie
newly married man, mostly undressed, was bar
ring her out with all his might. Occasionally
she would kick the door far enough open to dis
clos the stalwart husband, in his Gentleman
Greek Slave apparel.
1t appears that the tall female insisted upon
occupying the same bed with the newly welded
pair that her sister was tavOrably disposed TO
the arrangement, and that the husband had
agreed to it before the wedding took place, and
now indignantly repudiated the contract
Won't you go away now, Susan ?" said the
newly married man, softenng his voice
NO" said she, Il won't, so there 3"
Don't you bulge inch ~ cried the married
sister within the room.
''Now-now, Maria" said the young man to
his wife, in piteous tone, ''don't go to cuttin'
up in this way; now don't"
''I'll cut ups much as l wanter :" she sharply
replied
We'll" roared the desperate man, throwing
the door wide open and stalking out among the
crowd, 'iust you two wimmin put on your buds
and go right straight home, and bring back the
old man and woman, and your grandfather, who
is nigh to a hundred bring 'em all here, and
FL marry the whole caboode OF EN-, and wen all
sleep together y
The difficulty was finally adjusted by the tall
female taking a room. Welsville is enjoying
itself over the sensation.

gadicalism in California.

A republican paper says of the late cleo
ton in Amdor aud Alpine counties AS
faithful chronioers of passing events, we are
bound TO admit that overwhelming, disastrous
defeat befsl tue Union party at the election
last Saturday. We may as well say 1t really
seems that the Union party, hereaway are
laundering around without either chart or
compass" Unless our noble ship of state
speedily discharges her present miserable pi
lots, and returns to the chart of the constitu-
ton, and sails by GO pass whose needle
points invariably to the pole of Union, she
viii find herself dashed to pieces ON the rocks

Humbugging a spirit Medium.

An old gentleman, apparently from the
country, entered the room of a medium, and
expressed desire for "sperit eommunica-
ton" He was told to take seat at the to-
bic, and TO write the names of his deceased
relatives. The medium like many others,i i'm
correctly pronounced the term ''deceased" the
Same az diseased "--sounding the like z.
The old gentleman carefully adjusted his
"specs" and did what wa- required of him.
A name and relationship having been select
ed from those written, the Investigator was
desired to examine and state it they referred
to one party. "Wal, declare they do !'said
he. but, say, Mister, what has them pa
pers TO do with a sperit communication p"
"You will see directly" replied the medium.
Whereupon the latter spasmodically wrote a
communication" which read somewhat as

Serofula, or Kings Evil, Cancer, Tuners, Erup-
= tions of the Skin, Eryspelas, Chronic Sore
Eyes, Ringworm letter. Scald Head, Old
Sores, Swelling of the Glands, Leprosy, White
Swelling, Piles, Blotches, Boils, Pimples on the
Face, Goitre, Rheumatism, Dropsy or Grayel,
Liver Complaint Dyspepsia, Nervous Aztec
tions, General Debility, all Chronic Diseases,
and all Diseases arising from the use OF Mer
curry.
Tbs medicine combines in a highly concentrat-
ed state the Fluid Extracts of Sarsaparllia, Vel
low Dock, Stilihga, Burdock. and the Iodine of
Potassium, also the extracts OF several other val
liable Roots and Barks, prepared from by new
and highly improved chemical process for obtain
ing the active principle Of those roots in its pure
and most perfect yolutie state, rendering the
compound the most perfect and effcacious reme
dy known to man Tor the cure OF all those diseases
arising from impure state ofthe Blood the
other fluids of the system.
DR.. Easterly's Iodine and Sarsaparia.
Searches out the very germ roots of diseases
by purifying the blood, producing healthy action
OF the Liver and its secretIons, expelIing all
bid, impure and diseased matter from the system
and by it's simultaneous action on all the various
org ans the body, it imparts new life and activ
ty to the whole physical system. Possessing
those peculiar blood purifying properties is the
reason why it is equally efficacious in many
different complaints. No other medicine can
compare with
DIR. Easterly's Iodine and sarsaparila.
For the of Scrotula, obstinate old sores,
letter, Ring Worm, Salt Rheum, Scald Head :,
PimP.es on the Face, Prairie Itch, Illinois Mango,
Missouri Scratches, and all Eruptions on the Skin.
But fer the OF all Old Sores and Skin Diseases
of every kind,
Gridiey's salt Rheum and letter Ointment
Is a valuable assistant to the Iodine and Sarsapa-
riila in subdung the disease. The Iodine and
SarsaParilla puriies the Blood and removes the
cause, and the Ointment heals the sores and kills
the disease, and thus a speedy and permanent
cure is effected. Both are recommended TO be
used for these complaints.
Dr. EasterIy's iodine and SarsapariIla
Is rapidly superceding all other Sarsaparillas and
Blood purifying medicines. Nearly all the old
Sarsaparilas are discarded worthless, and are
IN popular favor. Druggists and dealers who
formerly purchased by the dozen, order by
the Gross and Five Gross at time. 1t is war
ranted Elk times Stronger, Cheaper and Better
than any other Sarsaparila or Blood Purifying
Medicine offered to the public, or no money

And take nothing else.
