A NOVEL AsYLUM.-We are known to
be prolific in philanthropic associations
SO we'll supplied, indeed, that there is
scarcely room to slide new one in end
ways. And yet we find one proposed that
all will admit to be novel, and, if literally
conducted, to be calculated to show pop
ular appreciation excelling, in short time
the business of the Oldest Institutions
The projected "assylum'' is one for ''use-
less young men, who, it will be admitted,
are too often incorrigibly afflicted. If the
asylum be also thrown open to "useless
young women" especially those who are
fluent in French and Italian, can handle a
piano in mastery manner, and dance
"the German" all night without exhibit
ing fatigue, yet are ready to faint at the
idea of making loaf of bread, completing
nicely a shirt or darning with neatness ev-
en- an eloquent orifce in their own stock
ings, the spirit Of the age would soon over
ertow the institution with elegant subjects
of public commisseration.

JAMES CARTIER, bold French mariner, as early as
1884. sailed along the northern coast Of North Amer.

River st. Lawrence. On his return down the river,
he found his men sadly afflicted and disabled by what
sailors ,all the scry. Its ravages fatal and the
survivors scarcely able to bury the dead Some
of the Indians along the shore likewise attack
ed by the same disease, but Cartier obcervsd that
they recovered He therefore earnestly inquired
about their mode Of treatment and they pointed ont
to him a tree, the bark and leaves Of which they
used in decoction with signal Cartier tried
the same remedy and had the qualification of seeing
oil his crew who were afflicted rapidly improving.
That tree ,cds the White Pine.
wash OF the bark, stepped in water is exceeding.
ly useful in reducing inflammation and cleansing old
sores In fine, the virtues of the White Pine Bark
are known everywhere. and this, doubtless is one
grand reason why the White Pine Compound was so
favorably received at the first.
The past year has given great opportunity to test
the virtues of the White Pine Compound. 1t has
been an unusual time for Colds and Coughs and very
large quantities of the White Pine Compound have
been sold and used with the happiest effects. 1t
speaks well for the Medicine that the people living
where it is prepared are high in its praise 3m569

From the Dubuuue Herald,

As was to be expected the friends of
Merrill are "going for" the recusant radi-
Gals of Dubuque who refused to vote for
the "Hartsville hero' under any circum-
stances. not even to make his nomination
unanimous. The Elkader Journal. the
official republican paper of Clayton coun-
ty, where the 'hero'' lives, opens up on
them in very lively style, and from the
position the paper occupies, it is not, per-
haps, out of the way to infer that the in
spiration of the article was derived from
Col. Merrill himself. Let the radicals of
Dubuque attend and hear what Merrill and
his friends have to say of them, as taken
from the last number of the Journal
g The victory was to many unexpected.
They had looked upon the Des Moines re-
gency as one that was invincible. They
did not stop to count the votes of an al
most united north. Almost! We could
have omitted that word had it not been for
the treachery of Dubuque politicians
Blast their pictures, they deserve the exc
Grafton of the entire north. After coming
out for every office in the gift of the peo-
pie of the district, for years past, and get
ting them every time by our help and that
of our neighboring counties, now, when
we present candidate, backed by the uni
ted delegation of the balance of the dis
trict, these Dubuque politicians, not appa-
rently blessed with grain of modesty or
decency, must go against us, and for one
of their own men. 1t isn't every paper
that will speak out a frankly as this does,
but we don't copy after anybody. Du.
buquc has insulted us it has insulted
northern Iowa, and the republicans of the
entire state. Let them bear in mind that
their base conduct will be remembered on
some occasion when they may come cring-
ing for another chance to suck the public
teat. We leave them to the mercy (?) OF
future congressional and judicial conven-
tions, composed of enraged constituents.
However, notwithstanding Dubuque's folly
and madness, Col. Merrill was nominated
on the first formal ballot.
We do not believe that Col. Merrill had
anything to do with the Journal article
The Introductory of the Herald is unfair.

A correspondent of the Anti-slarey
Standard, writing from Virginia with an
evident understanding Of the party ma
chinery among the negroes, gives the Re-
publican party fair warning of what is in
reserve for them. The negro vote, he says,
will decide the presidential election. They
understand this perfectly wei! and are lay
ing their plans in accordance with it.
" There are several negroes says the wri-

SUIcIDE.-A Mrs. Hines, whose hus-
band deserted her some time ago, and who
last week was on the streets begging for
somewhere to lay her head, was found
dead in bed on Wednesday morning, with
her child about ten months old at her side
crying to wake her up A coroners jury,
under post morton examination by DR..
Staples, revealed the fact that she died
from an overdose of laudanum. This is
the saddest case that has come to our
knowledge in this city, and it certainly
discloses necessity for more searching

If there was lingering doubt in the

Convention in any particular. And dared
