TEXAS TONIClSYRUP,
A Vegetable Compound for the Ra-
pid and Permanent Cure of
CHILLS AND FEVER, or FEVER
AND AGUE!
Every Poison has Its Antidote! Ey-
cry Disease has its Cure!

The people Of the. Mississippi
Valley have long felt the necessity
for, and want of, a Safe, Certain
and Reliable Remedy, as substi-
tute for Quinine, Strychnine, and
other poisonous Drugs, for the cure
Of Fever and Ague, or Chills and
Fever. We claim, and the result
will show, and bear Testimony to
every unprejudced mind, that the
Texas Tonic Syrup has supplied
this want and accomplished this
purpose. It's Tonic, Alternative and
Antiseptic qualities are such that
none can possibly be disappointed
in its effects. Upon its own merits,
therefore, it is sustained. A single
trial is all that is needed to stamp
this s. remedy as the greatest specific
The ingrediments of which this
Medicine is composed are simple
productions of nature Astounding
upon certain streams in the State
OF Texas, and were ever used by the
Aborigines Of that State as a spe-
cific for Fevers of all kinds, and es-
pecially Fever and kgue, which
they never failed to cure.
A celebrated Physician, acauaint-
ed with these facts, has furnished
us his theory upon this important
subject, and hence the Product
properly named TEXAS TONIC
SYRUP, which we now offer to the
public as specific and positive
cure for Fever and Ague, OF Chills
and Fever, no matter Of how long
standing.
Having had indubitable evidence
OF its prompt and certain effects
from the testimony of multitude
ofrespectable citizens, among whom
is'classed many of our best Physi-
clans, we do rot hesitate to recon.
mend this Preparation in all cases
Of Fever and Ague and Chills and
Fever; indeed, from the facts in our
possession Of its intrinsic value, it
would not be too much for us to
state that, when the directions are
complied with we warrant
q cure in every case, where it is
tried. It is pleasant to the taste
aud the cheapest Medicine in the
world. Therefore, in truth, it NAV
be declared the day is not far dis
5ant when it must be appreciated
md used in every household where
Fever and Ague or Chills and Fe-
Ter Is found to exist.

The Two Merchants.


When trade grew slack and notes fell
due, the merchants face grew long and blue;
his dreams were troubled through the night
with sheriffs' bailiffs all in sight. At last
his wife unto him said Rise up at once,
get out of bed, and get your paper, ink and
pen, aud say these words unto all men
My goods I wish to sell to you, and to
your wives and daughters too my prices
they shall be SO low that each will buy. be-
fore they GO.
He did as his good wife advised, and in
the papers advertised. Crowds came and
bought Of all he had his notes we're paid,
his dreams made glad and he will tell yor
this day how well did printers ink repay.
He told us this, with knowing wink, how
he was saved by printers ink. q
The other in place as tight, contented
was the press to slight, and did not let the
people know of what he did or where to 90.
His:drafts fell due and were not paid, and q
levy on his goods was made the store was
closed until the sale, and for some time he
was in Jail. A bankrupt now without a
cent. at leisure he can deep repent, that he
was foolish and unwise, and did not freely
advertise.
Ifyou think the moral of this story wise
you should not neglect to advertise.

IHE WESTERN CATHoLIc.-This sprightly
little paper has been upon our desk for some
weeks and notice of it accidentally omitted.
1t appears to be full of excellent reading mat
ter and very tastefnlly printed with good, clear
type. We congratulate the Catholics of De-
troit-where it is published-upon this acces-
sion to their domestic comforts and their So
cial protection. We gladly welcome q new
champion in the lists of journalism, where the
current of the age is drifting the great and
never ending battle of truth with error The
more papers the better.

Earthquakes as judgments.

| 1t seems that the town of Jaszbereny, in
Hungary, has promulgated the following
ordinance, in which earthquakes are off,
cially recognized as punishment for blas-
phemy:
real causes of earthquakes, every one no MAJ
| ter who, is forbidden to swear or use bad Ian
guage, under penalty of receiving twenty-five
stripes with rod, and paying fine of twenty
five horins.
1t would further appear that this little
morceau is floating around through the
press as something quite damaging to Cath
ohcity. Now, whether the municipal au--
thorities of the village named are Catholics
or Protestants, OF whether they may not be
Mahommedans, We cannot say. Geogra-
phies are probably silent on that point.
The only evidence before the court is the
document above published, and it furnishes
the only data from which to judge. From
its tone, we should say it was copied from
the Blue code of Massachusetts, or con-
cocted in the mountains of Scotland. Pu-
ritanism is rampant in it.
There is this difference, however, be-
tween Puritanism when found interlopine>
in Catholic community, as may sometimes
be the case, and the same spirit on its ma
tive heath. In the first case it yields to
authority and is quickly eliminated, in the
second it is madman at large and plays
fantastic tricks without fear of being gain
said.
The learned editors who quote the above
little paragraph with so much gusto ought
first to assure themselves by profound re-
search that the oriental village whence it
emanated is Catholic, and after being satis-
fed on that point, we will then undertake
to convince them that real Catholic doc
trine can be ascertained with more facility
and more certainty than by going to the
of Hungary.

ALL SAINTS.

CnflStlan1Cy Is love. Far from belns
the hard, cold ethical code of Protestant
ism, the frigid formulism of Puritans, it i,
full of sentiment and emotion. 1t takes
human nature with it's every attribute and
sanctifies them all it spurns neither beau
ty nor joy, neither nature nor art in honor
ing God and elevating man. Instead of the
bare walls of q sectarian meeting house,
the Church presents all the skill of sculp-
ture and painting, the attraction of flowers
and lights, the swelling tones of grand mu-
sic to impress and instruct the creature,
while more -ittingly worshiping the Gre
ator.
So far from holding our nature to be ut
terly depraved, she sees the image of God
in the human soul and ennobles it's affec-
tions with the sanction of religion. Poor
human love! Now it glows with the ardor
of passion, and after a while it grows cold
and stale. The Church raises matrimony
to sacrament, and marital love is refined
and perpetuated as a religious duty.
Death comes, and with it anguish. The
lost child or parent or spouse is gone for
ever; the heart yearns for an intercourse
oven peyouu Vuo SIuSc. IFOteSUaUtlSu,
with forbidding sternness, says, "No! it
is idolatry and blasphemy to suppose that
the dead can hear YOU" The Church comes
in compassion to the broken heart and
says, % believe in the communion of
saints. Your dead, who have died worthi-
ly, see you and hear you and intercede for
you. Far more now-than formerly they
Love them, speak still to them, be patient
yet a little while and you shall join them
again"
The. solemnities of All Saints and All
Souls are instituted peculiarly to honor that
dogma of the Creed, the Communion Of
Saints. On these days special commemora-
tiOn is made of the communion between
the church militant, the church suffering
and the church triumphant. 1t is a cere-
monial where grace publicly acknowledges
kindred with nature religion smiles upon
the honest affections of the heart, and char
ity, taking human love by the hand, saws.
=" Brother, look beyond the dust and be
immortal
Let Professionalism scoff at your superstition
and pride itself on rigid superiority to ma
ture. Let the dead bury their dead; we
have none. We still hold communion with
these who are gone. To day, while YOU
are putting garlands upon the cross and
flowers in the urn, you will feel that, while
below dust is mingling with its kindred
dust, above bright smiles are beaming on
you.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1S.-The boat race for
the championship of America took place to-
day. The first race was btween Brown and
Tyler. They started from the upper stake boat
at 2 o'clock, and went down the river two miles
and half and returned. Tyler came in about
half length ahead
The great race between Hamill and Coulter
commenced about 3 O'clock. They started from
the upper stake boat. and Hamill led Coulter
at the start very slightly, but after proceeding
down about half mile from some reason at
present unknown, their boats collided and they
both upset Coulter reached his boat and pro-
ceeded on around the course. Hamlll was
picked up by boat in the vicinity, and was by
Its crew brought back to the starting point
The referee will have to decide whether the
fouline was done purposely or not.
Ldter-It is difficult to state exactly the
cause of the unfortunate termination of the
Hamill and Coulter sculing match to. day, but
one story is that HamIll was forced off his
course by a canal barge, and was unable to pre-
vent collision. He could not swim and was
picked out of the water in few minutes -
Coulter having rowed over the course claims
the stal S.
Ldtest.-The referee has decided that Hamill
and Coulter shall row again Tomorrow after
noon.
The time made by Tyler and Brown to-day
was, Tyler II minutes, 81 IL seconds; Brown
