From personal knowledge of these plasters,
VIC can state that they are decidedly preferable
to any other in use. Wherever relief is to be
obtained by the use of plaster, we should re-
commend them.

heartily endorse, but the crisis in Maine does
not involve the principle of prohibition. but
only measures, aud the great question there
is the crisis is, Can the present State Con-

My opinion is that it can't without radical
amendments, and may have to be cleared out
altogether, and the sooner temperance men
see it and know it the better. But the crisis
does not touch prohibition; that principle
'oiu be sustained, and can only be over

among temperance men and blind persistence
in unwise measures. TEMPERANCE.

| To the Editor Of the Press
We read an article in your issue OF SatuI-
day, taken from the Riverside Echo, referring
to the State Temperance Convention to be
writer OF that article does not understand
that the convention will be under the direc-
tion OF any society or organization, but COM
posed OF all such friends Of temperance as
shall choose 10 attend; and of course the
object should be to consider the present as
pect of things and TO take such action as the
case demands. Such a convention with
| out regard to party, is desirable; and it is
hoped that after fairly considering the mat
| ter in all its bearings there win be thorough
union Of effort on the part of all temperance
men, and that no one class of temperance
men will denounce those who differ as to the
best methods of suppressmg the sale OF
liquors as "rummies." Let a noble charity
prevail, and much good will come of it. That
writer, however, lets drop an intimation that
judging by aprepared address which is to be
most conclusive, &C., and by his present knowl-
GtiSc bucIG Will OC uOuiopOSibiOu III guy Wdy W
amend the present Prohibitory Law or the
Constabulary Act lest such amendment
should be considered "a step backward"
What have temperance men to do with what
outsiders consider step backward? II the
present law shall be considered defective, let
the temperance men be fearless, do light, and
abide the consequences. We are not to go to
our enemies to ask their opinion, but look to
facts, objects, means and measures, and their
consequences, and in the light Of the past,
and especially of the past year, 60 to work
for the future.
Suppose a man has commenced building
and finds some part of his foundation de-
lective. Shall he put the whole fabric in
peril by going on, lest ii he should stop and
clear away to perfect his foundation, some
outsider should say he is taking step back
ward? No, not at all =! The noble ediice when
completed shall give the lie to all such cal
unny. We believe the grand principle OF
Prohibition correct, and what we want TO
perfect this noble ideal, to accomplish this
gran purpose, is a union OF labor among
ali tho friends of the cause, after charitable

and an agreement in them.
TOO much has been conceded altogether
Inv the temperance men OF our State as to the

clared again and again rum victory and that
all who argued or voted in favor of license
law were rum men and voted for free rum
everywhere Nothing could be farther from
the truth. The men who thus accuse all
men who differ from them, in the Judgment
OF the writer, display great deal Of igno-
rance of faets--or sad disposition to misrep-
resent good men. What man can lay his

From the ~ y Herald Of yesterday.
Immediately upon W. e. Harding, Of New
York, attaining the position OF champion
Three Mile Runner of America in August last
by vanquishing De Kelso, of Canada, he natur
ally turned his attention to the heet-iooted pc
desiTians of England, and acting upon con-
viction that his abilities were such as to meet
them with far confidence of victory, he tor
waIded a formal challenge to that country,

u Lang, Sauderson, or Richards, in three
mile race for the sum OF $4,000. allo wing q rea-
sonable amount for expenses, should the match
be made 10 be decided in this country.
Until few days since the sp jrtng public
have awaited with considerable interest re-
Fponse to this RAJ her bold challenge, without the
least satisfaction; but 1t IS now announced, di-
rect from the headquarters of Teddy Mills, that
he is wiling to meet Harding under circum-
stances somewhat at variance with the chal-
lenge seLt him, ina-much as the hrst meeting
must take place in En1land, after which be will
meet him secoud time in New York. Hard ng
has accepted the challenge of Mills, and, should
nothing occur to mSr the further progress OF the
proposed match, these renowned pedestrians
will meet early in the summer of 1S6S-drst in
London, then in New York. The matches will
be for f500 side, fl00 respectively allo wed to

people of both countries an opportunity OF vie W.

MIR. Harding az q pedestrian has been remark
ably successful. Although not apparently very
muscular, he possesses qualities that carry him
along in contest with an astonishing rapdIty.
His first race was in the year 1861, at the Mag
nolia Grounds, Canada, against PaIlon aud
others, Tor silver watch and $25 in gold, in
which he was victorious.

very big haul was made by some adroit
pickpocket, yesterday afternoon, which, no
doubt will be a lesson to the victim that he
will never forget as long as he lives 1t seems
that the victim in question Is q furniture
dealer at No 586 Third avenue, and once in a

finds 1t necessary To take his surplus cash to

He had $500 in greenbacks TO deposit yester-
day, which he made into package and thrust
into the tail pocket OF his overcoat. he then
got into a Third avenue car and rode down as
far as Broome street, where he got out and
walked TO the entrance OF the BoWery Savings
Bank when, to his inexpressible dismay, on
feeling for the package of money. he discovered
that IL had been taken from his pocket.
He Immediately proceeded 10 police head

Spector Dilks. but could give that official no
clue v hich might eventually lead TO the deteo-
lion of the persons who took the money. On
being questioned as 10 what could have pos,
81 ssed him TO carry the money IN his coat tail
pocket, he stated that he thought that was the
safest place for IL, as he could feel II while he
was sitting down; and this Notwithstanding
the fact that he had an inside pocket in his
undercoat large enough TO admit OF the package
of money being safely placed therein Beyond
all danger of being stolen. Captain Young was

AN old lady, a professor of the washer
woman's art, had managed to scrape together
sufficient means to build a small house and
barn in the country. One afternoon, soon after
she was comfortably established in her new
home, a black cloud was seen in the west, and
before many minutes tornado swept through
her small property, scattering the timber of
out OF her kitchen and seeing the devastation
the storm had made, the old lady at first
could not find words TO express her indigRa-
tiOn, but at last she exClaimed:-"Well, here's
q pretty business. No matter, though; I'll
