aeyn The Rev. c. w. Vining who has
safely returned from journey in the East,
thoughtfully brings US, among other curl
iosities, some of the newspapers published
in Egypt and Turkey They are in four
languages, French, Turkish, American,
and Greek. We cannot read them, but he
can, and through his patience we have
been gratifed to learn their contents, and
the material of which newspapers are made
up in the land of the Osnfanlis. Our
American enterprise is we'll represented ::
stoves, wooden and tin ware, ploughs, axes
and tools are advertised from this country.
In each of the four languages are heralded
the virtues of the remedies made BY our
celebrated countrymen, DR.. j. G. AVER q
Co., of Lowell. They seem not to depend
on their home reputation for confidence
abroad but publish the certificates of the
| Musselmen rulers themselves, to the cures
which those medicines have made In their
midst. The Rev. gentlemen informs US
that the whole of the remedial aid employ.
ed in those countries, comes from Europe
or America, as they possess no medical
colleges or schools id which they have any
confidence themselves. There arose the
religious ideas which pervade the human
family, but almost all that is useful in art
or invention must be carried back to these
the earlier settlements of mankind. .-L,an

Ten HelIs.

The Chicago Tribune says in re-
laton to the government organized in
Tennessee "Betwcen the wide exclusion
of the whites and the universal enfrau-
chisement of the blacks. Tennessee is a
political Pandemonium. In Tennessee it
is known that the radicals, By the aid Of
bayonets, disfranchised more than 60, 900
whites and enfranchised all the blacks, and
the same thing will be doue in the remain
ing Southern State under military rule, and
the result will be as stated by the Chicago
Tribune, in relation to Tennessee, ten cor
ganized hells'' in the South. The most
fitting places to consign all those trouble
some northern radicals who prefer to rule
in He'll than to serve in Heaven.

afford the most accessible and secure
harbor on our whole line of lake coast, and
more valuable for the protection of the

completion at the earliest day practicable

LOOK TO Your FIRES. 1t behooves
everyone to be on the watch to prevent the
destruction of property by fires. So far,
but little property has been destroyed by
fire in our village, though several times it
has narrowly escaped terrible confagration.
Are our fire engines kept always in order
and ready to do efficient service on
emergency? There is a much larger
amount of property in our town than ever
before, and there is more need for care
and watchfulness on the part of our city
authorities and and citizens, to save from
loss.
