in speaking of our national debt and
the Republican policy of taxation:
a. You have taxed the people as no

the war you have raised from their
hard earnings, by the drag-nets you
have spread out all over the land ST.

the mind can scarcely grasp or compre-
hend it, If it were possible to raise
this sum in silver dollars they would
load 1876 wagons, with 1000 pounds
to each wagon and if they were to bss
moved, allowing 20 rods to each wac

The increase of the NATIONAL Debt.

Mr.. Garfield in his speech at Paines-

Shooting Niagara,

The Detroit Free Press is respon-
sible for the following terrific sensa-
ton:
"Since the days of the Blondin
Juror, when men and women stood
aghast at the foolhardy daring Of the
great rope walker, in the performance
OF his remarkable featS at Niagara
Falls, no such excitement has been
known. A project has recently been
started, however. which if carried
into execution. will eclipse any feat
of daring ever yet attempted. Chas.
Ockford, OF tnis city, the sixty hour
skater, has conceived the idea of max
ing the perilous passage over the
Falls Of Niagara in an India rubber
lie boat of peculiar construction. A
few weeks ago the idea suggested it.

eating it to some Eastern gentlemen,
it was proposed by them that purse
of $4,000 be raised to induce him to
make the undertaking. He accord.
ingly perfected his scheme and the
contract for building the boat has
been let to the Goodyear Rubber
Company for 81 900. The boat will
be an oblong, with mean diameter
of eight feet, six inches thick at the
top and sides, and three feet thick al
the bottom. A shaft of the same
material will extend from side to side
in the centre, on which will be swung
on pivot, seat, to which the ad
ycnturous occupant will be fastened
Opening at tie top will be an aper
ture sufficiently large for him to gel
inside after which it will be filled
with air and closed up. 1t is calcu
lated that sufficient air can be retain
ed to sustain life about twenty min
utes. A small cable will be attached
to the boat, by which it will be toweC

novel craft is now in this city, an(
there is no DOUBT that the attempt t,

The MODESTY OF TIE CHIEF JUS
TICE.-The New York Sun says Of
Chief Justice Chase's declaration to a
delegation Of conservatives that he
did not desire to be President:
"To every one who knows Judge
Chase, this protestation from him
must appear either altogether imPrOb-
able or extremely ridiculous. So it
must seem to every one who ever has
known him for he has been a candi-
date for President from a time when
the memory of most men now living
runneth not to the contrary. The
White House has been the pole star
of his whole political life. In his own
estimation he is nothing if not Presi-
dent. The Presidency has been his
meat, his drink, his board, his iodg-
ing, the atmosphere which he has
breathed for twenty five years. Peo-
Iple may believe almost anything else
which Judge Chase thinks proper to
state they may believe that he is and
always has been a hard-money man,
although he is Old GreenbackS him
self but to ask them to believe that
he does not wish to be President Is
too much.

SOMNAMBULIsM.- Alvin Golf of
this village got up in his sleep between
2 and 3 o'clock Oh Monday morning,
dressed himself, and went into the
part Of the house occupied by his SON
in-law, DR.. j. Fl. Hamilton, and ask
ed the doctor if he might take his
horse to 60 after his. COW, which he
said had broken out Of the pasture
Upon receiving an affirmative answer,
he went to the barn, harnessed the
horse, put it in the wagon, and start
ed toward East Berkshire. When
Mr.. Golf woke up he found himself
sitting on a stone beside the road,
near Nahum Nutting's about three
miles from home. He had AN indis-
tinct remembrance of what had trans
pired. He thought he came in sight
of his cow just ahead, near VIM. W.
Colts, about mile from the village,
and that he then got out, hitched his
horse to the fence, and started to
head off the animal but the COW was
obstinate; when he ran, she ran; when
he walked, she walked; if he stopped
she stopped; but she was bound tc
keep ahead of him. Finally, after
chasing her as far as Mr.. Nutting's he
gave it up as a bad job, and sat down
to rest, when he came to himself. He
walked back to W. W. COTS anC
found the horse hitched there. And
when he got back home, he found hi:

Alonzo Mccormick, Newark sad
dler aged "a, murdered his wife, aged
Is, in Brooklyn by shooting her
through the head with pistol. He
Immediately attempted to kill himself
also, by firing a pistol at his heart,
which he bearly missed, so that he
lived some hours afterward.
The sole cause Of this murder and
suicide was intemperance. McCor-
mick was neither better nor worse
than are thousands of other young
mechanics, except that his passion for
rum was more intense and his con-
sumption of that Internal fluid some
what greater.
| More accurately-he had gone a
little further on the road which mil.
lions are heedlessly travelling. In
toxicating liquors robbed him of in
dustry, thrift, sobriety, esteem, hope
ambition, and made him murderer
of her he had sworn to love and
cherish, and a suicide. How many
young men will be warned by his
fearful career to renounce and shun
the maddening cup of which he is but
one among myriads of victims !

ADVERTISING AND ITS RESULTS
No better means to make ones goods,
wares, and merchandise and their par
ticular merits known to the world,
has been discovered than through the
medium Of newspapers. Whether
commercial, political, literary, relig-
ious, of whatever sect, party, or au-
thorship, all have their circulation and
influence. How many successful bust
ness men could be enumerated who
owe their high pecuniary position to
Advertising alone! How many plucky
firms are taking the lead, monopoliz-
ing certain lines Of business, simply
by judicious advertising! There is
not in existence an article of value
that is not worth publishing to the
world.
We have now in mind one firm of
which we can speak with certainty
We refer to the house of J. r. Barrett
q Co., of this city, the gentlemanly
and popular proprietors of that indis-
pensable article known as "Barrett's
Vegetable Hair Restorative" Two
years ago this preparation was scarce
| Iy known outside of this section; to-
day there is not city, town, or bor-
ough this side Of the Pacific where
his excellent 'Renewer" is not known
and appreciated, and is, we learn,
rapidly supplanting all others. To
be sure, this preparation possesses
real merit, and is far removed from
the thousands of vile nostrum5 which
constantly flood every market. 1t al
so received the endorsement of the
Agricultural Society in 1866, which
awarded its highest premium ever
given in the line of patent remedies
Yet "Barrett's Hair Restorative
owes its success and present position
in great degree to advertising.
Manufacturers and proprietors of
any article of merit should not fail tt
resort to timely and judicious adver
Using, that they may not only reaI
its benefits, but at the same time con
fer priceless gift upon the communi
ty at large by the Introduction OF thei

Senator Frelinghuysen, in recent

"Our party was once sectional; it

and hope nine, States will add their
large majorities to the party that
makes the Declaration of Independ-
ence its platform and the elevation
of man its object. That great and
good, that patriotic and prudent. that
brave and modest man, who inaugu-
rated victory for our arms first in the
West, and then at the East, and who
never knew defeat, will in November
lead the loyal hosts of America Oh to
victory, and beside him will stand his

and popular Colfax. The rebellion
will all be over, and then this nation
will make such strikes in material

of God, l have spoken. Should this
discourse verify Christ's saying III
am come not to send peace on earth,
but a sword" for that God will hold
you responsible, not me. "The wis
dom that is from above is first pure,
then peaceable." Men would invert
the order. They wish to have it first
peaceable, then pure. Often have
they endeavored and laboriously striv-
en- to consolidate peace upon such an
inverted basis. But it is an impossl-
bility. Peace has never been achiev-
ed in any such way. In moral as in
material conflicts, only the sword
brings peace. Strife is the condition
of concord; purity of peace. Better,
ten thousand times better, have the
tumult and agitations of conflict for
holy principles than the sitting quiet
of an atmosphere of sin and death
