II is an admitted fact that the Mexican
Mustang Linament performs more cures in
shorter time, on man and beast, than any
article ever discovered. Families, livery
men and planters should always have it on
hand. Quick and sure 1T certainly is. All

The Baltimore Police Commission
cas- have wisely determined to appear by
counsel before Governor Swan, but have
unwscly assumed the position that he
has no jurisdiction in the case. The
glaring inconsistency Of such a course
clearly indicates the weakness of the re-
cusant officials, and shows how little
confidence they have themselves in the
attitude they have taken. Governor
Swami is determined to do his whole
duty in the promises, and in a few days
we will have a peaceful solution Of this

our Radical friends keep cool, and the

Tho death sentence which has been
passed by the Caaadian authorities upon
two Fcnian prisoners, has awakened
great interest in their behalf throughout
the country. One Of them, the Rev.
John Mc1lahon, is Catholic priest,
who, it is alleged, was simply discharg'
ing his duties as a spiritual adviser when
arrested by the government officials.
The United States government, thro'
Secretary Seward has written a letter to
Sir +. W. \. Bruce, the British Minis-
ter at Washington, asking that justice
may be tempered with mercy, and that
the sentence OF these two men will not
be carried into execution.

The women on board the ship bohav
cd nobly during the terrible scenes OF
the tempest, yielding ready compliance
to all orders given them. There were
about forty prostitutes on board the ship
but they had behaved with great pro
priety from the first There were but
two or three exceptions to this, and they
were not particularly bad. Most Of the
woJhen had been Obliged to remain in
their rooms or in the saloons, previous
to the storm, owing 10 the rough weath,
cr Many Of them we're sca.sick, as,
indeed, were many Of the men. One Of

Of an elegant house Of illfome in New

on board and fine new carriage. They
were all anxious TO work when danger
appeared, and some of them did good
