REV BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, of New
York, takes charge Of Christ Church,
Indianapolis, tomorrow. The new
Rector was called some weeks ago.
The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation at Indianapolis, are pushing
forward a project to raise two thous
and FIVE hundred dollars for mission
airy and other benevolent objects.
They have succeeded thus far in
securing six huadred and seventy two
dollars.
In cable telegram, dated Madrid,
November 5, occurred a short. but
significant paragraph, to the follow
ing effect: = The Protestants of Mad
rid have demanded and obtained per-
mission to build Chapel in the city"
We regard this simple announcement
as an index of the extent to which
the remarkable revolution in Spain
has gone. The revolution of the Gov
erument and the banishment of the
Queen were trivial matters in the es-
timation of the Catholic world COM
pared with the establishment of a
Protestant Chapel in the once proud
Capital of Philip III. Whether the
new Government will be able to sus-
tain itself and follow the path Of re-
ligious liberation it seems to have
marked out for itself, is very doubt
full 1t Is too far in advance of the
people to be supported by them in the
attacks which will be made upon it
by the Church whose traditions and
prerogatives it has assailed. The re-
suit of this effort to secure religious
toleration will be awaited with great
interest and anxiety by Christians of
all seets and denominations aud the
friends of free thought in all parts of
the world.

Mysterious Death Of Mysterious Per-
sonags'

The last number of the Erie (Pa.) Ga
sette tells the following story:
A lady named Mrs. Riggs, who had
been living at the old Martin Hotel in
Girard (the landlord is Mr.. Albee, we be-
lieve), and engaged in experimenting
the erection of fine residence for her
self on Rice avenue, in that q ,urishing
borough, died quite unexpectedly on
Monday. She came to Girard recently,
intending to make her new house her
home for life She was reported quite
wealthy. The Dispatch says that foul
play is suspected, and that the citizens
Of Girard have resolved to investigate the
matter.
We have additional particulars of the
Girard case. Mrs. Riggs is originally
from Philadelphia, where, we believe,
she married. Her first husband, whose
name we have not learned, left her
$500, 900. A few years since she mar
ried her present husbaBd, Mr.. Riggs, of
the well known and wealthy banking
house of that name in New York. She
retained her own property, and was
worth at least 100000 when she died.
Her business agent is brother of her
first husband. His wife is dead; his
daughter, a young lady, has been with
him waiting on Mrs. Riggs
The latter had suit for divorce pend
ing against her husband, and, it is said,
ultimately intended marrying her bust
ness manager. She was taken sick a
week before she died. This agent and
his daughter excluded all others from
waiting upon her. and the agent, pretend
ing to some medical skill, administered
ether, chloroform, and such other things
as be preferred A doctor lived across
the road from the hotel; he was not
allowed to be called. The dead lady's
agent took entire control of her case.
Since her death the daughter has become
seriously ill--her father also acting as
physician for her. A few days be-
fore Mrs. Riggs died, an inferior look
ing woman came to help the agent take
care of her, and claimed to be b, y
sister. Many circumstances looked an
strange that the landlord said that NOS,
mortem examination should be b. I'D on

about that nearly mile from the Marine
Docks, southwesterly, there lived large
sun. Drowned, honest Irishmap, named
Dennis Heunessy, whose good nature wal
proverbial, aud whose perpetual vii
rippled and sparkled like rare cham
payne. In the morning bis rsllickinf
song went seaward 10 the arms OF the
riyer-rippies, and at night they came
hack to him In dreams Of Erin and bare
footed nymphs, splashing and daAbline
lily-wise in the limpid Shannon. Dem
mis- was q good Democrat IL did one
good to hear him shout for Seymour and
Blair, and there were blows for blithe
battle asleep in bis shiIlalah, when be
twirled il 10 imaginary melee upon the
head of an imaginary Radical.
By and by there came over from New
York young cousin, Jerry Larrimore,
lust as big as Dennis and bit Of Repub-
iican, too, by the way. Dennis received
him with that hospitality which Is the
religion OF his race. They talked home
talk long and lovingly; they mixed with
the fragrant aroma Of their serviceable
pipes the grateful incense Of steaming
punches, and they crowded into the
night many dear memories Of the past
and it's pleasures. Then came America,
and Missouri, and the wages, aud the
prospects, and last OF all the skeleton OF
politics stepped out from its closet and
lowered over the feast. Jerry spoke mp
quickly and earnestly for Grant; Dennis
said never a word. Jerry bore down
little hard upon Seymour; Dennis
frowned ominously aud spoke quick
then: Let us go to bed, Jerry, we'll
talk all about this to- morrow" A
might. cap" worn as all night-caps
should be, capped the dialogue and the
cousins retired-Jerry to sleep, Dennis
to ponder.
Breakfast was over. the sun was up;
the air was balmy, and the cousins were
in excellent spirits. at length Dennis
Hennessy spoke to Jerry fairly, thus.
at gives me great pain to know ye for
Radical, Jerry Larrimore, cousin of mine
as ye are, and / have this to say to ye: /
will fight ye fair as any man ever fought
il We will promise to vote for Seymour
and Blair if whip ye; and ! swear to
We BY the living poker that will swal- |
low Grant, nagur and all, il ] get the |
worst of it" Elegant" cried Jerry,
stripping of bis coat, not whit set
back, "and mind We, we mustn't get mad,
and we must shake hands afterwards"
Friends it is, hit or miss" answered
Dennis, and the two athletes met foot to |
foot in this singular encounter. The
struggle was long, severe and desperate.
Jerry handled himself in most credit
able manner and upheld the name Of his
General with commendable proves, but
the muscles Of Dennis, hardened by stout
work, held out longest, until at last Jerry
failed to come to time, and yielded
smilingly. !" It's all right then y asked
the victor. q" Yis, be jsbers, an I would
vote for the devil, be gorrah, before hav-
ing anoder of your blows. Hurrah for |
Seymour and Blair I" Thus has another |
good Democratic voter been added to the |
lst for November, and thus did Dennis |
Hennessy convert his cousin from the |
poisonous faith of Rsdicalism.

 DR. JOHN BULL-Dcdr Sir: l have recent ly given your 'Worm Destroyer" several trials, and find it wonderfully efticacious. It has not failed in single instance to have the wished for effect. l am doing pretty large country practice, and have daily use for some article of the kind. lam free to confess that know of no remedy recommended by the ablest authors that is so certain and speedy in its effects. On the contrary they are un- certeain in the extreme. My object in writ ing you is to find upon what terms l can get the medicine directly from you. If can get it upon easy terms, I shall use great deal of it. I am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of n great majority of the regutoy line of NJ. 8, but see no just cause or good sense in dis carding remedy which we know to be efii- cient, simply because we may be ignorant of it's combination, For my part, shall make it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which l may be able to command--not hesitating because some one more ingenious than myself may have learned it's effects first, and secured the sole right to secure that knowledge However, am by no means an advocate or supporter Of the thousands of worthless nostrums that flood the country, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which human flesh is heir. Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms. am. sir, most respectfully.

For the Citizcn.l ''ReDder unto Caesar the things

We are pleased with the arrangement of the Steamer Liberty No. , in her punctuality, regularity and reliability. She makes better time from Memphis to Des Arc than any boat in the white river trade, arriving here every Mon- day, at from 9 to II o'clock A. NJ. from Memphis, passes up the river, returns Tuesday evening at about or 10 o'clock, giving the Postmaster and Express Agent ample time to arrange the mail and express matter, receive and deliver the mail and get to bedsoon enough to enjoy the nights repose. The Liberty also remains over here from Tuesday night till Wednesday morning, afford- ing sufficient time for all to arrange and get aboard Wednesday morning and go on their way rejoicing, to Memphis and other points. The Liberty is for tunate in having plain, practical, social accommodating officers, a good set of state rooms and fare that robs the most fastidious epicure of any grounds Tor complaint, and we wouldin candor sug- gest to those wishing to travel on steam boats to avail themselves of trip on the Liberty, and then say whether or not we arc gasing.

Having had indubitable evidence of it

Having had indubitable evidence of it's prompt and certain effects from the testimo- ny of multitude of respectable citizens, among whom are classed some of our best physicians, we do not hesitate to recommend this Preparation in all cases of Fever and Ague and Chills and Fever: indeed, from the facts in our possession of it's intrinsic value, 1t would not be too much for us to state that when the directions are strictly complied with, we warrant a cure in every case where it is tried. It is pleasant to the taste, and the cheapest medicine in the world. There fore, in truth, it may be declared the day is not far distant when it must be appreciated and used in every household where Fever and Ague or Chills and Fever is found to exist.
 The wonderful operation of the Texas Ton c Syrup in neutralizing the effects of mala- rious poison in the human system, can only explain it's extraordinary agency in the speedy. thorough and permanent cure oi Chills and Fever or Fever and Ague, and all their kindred diseases, in whatever form of Bilious Complaints they may make their ap- pearance.
 As its name imports, it is Tonic of rare and medicinal virtues, composed of pure and harmless ingredients, and are so united as to form n compound alike skillful in art, beau tiful in appearance, and can be taken with safety to the most delicate constitutions. It is the result of lifetime of experience and practice in Southern climate, and was new CT known to fail, even where all otbe reine- dies had been tried in vain.
 Those who are unacquainted with the ex- traordinary properties of this home prodac- ton, manufactured from Roots and Plants indigenous to the soil of our sunny South, ' (and hence adapted to the cure of Southern N4 tt,stlx ..l to the certificates of respectable citizens whose names are embraced in a pamphlet which accompanies each bottle; also the en- dorsements of the press in all the Southern States indicating the many thousand cures already performed by our justly celebrated Texas Tonic Syrup.
 The reports from hundreds of Druggists, Merchants and Dealers, from all parts of the country, arc uniform in stating the medicine is safe, certain and reliable, as a substitute for Quinine and the poisonous compounds heretofore generally sold. and is rapidly supplantng everything of this class.
 As q home enterprise it especially com mends itself 10 the people of this section of the country, who are now struggling in an effort to do away with old prejudices in favor of foreign produce, and may we not hope foreign .sQuack Nostrums," the proprietors of which, in most cases, are governed by no- thing but mercenary motives, know nothing of the properties of Medicinal Agents, and care nothing for our interests, except to en- tice our people into the use of their vile mixtures.
 The Texas Tonic Syrup is packed in cases of two dozen.
 Dealers supplied upon better terms than any other remedy affords.

Special Notice.

We wish to call the attention of our readers to the column advertisement headed "Purify Your Blood," to all the articles mentioned in it. All those afflicted by disease, or who have friends suffering from sickness, should care fully read, and we know they will derive pro- fit from it. It gives us much pleasure to be able in this manner to recommend to our peo- pie these remedies, as years of trial show they fully deserve. Dr. Thos. A. Hurley's Sarsaparilla. the Great Blood Purifier. needs only to be tried to be fully appreciated. His Bitters, (Hurley's,) are the best and purest now offered for sale. For debility and loss of appetite no others ought to be used. Hurley's 4gue Tonic is harmless in it's effect and never fails to cure if used by directions. Try it. Also his Worm Candy, (Hurley's,) cannot he equalled: any child will take it. So il is with Dr. Seabrook's Soothing Syrup. the best and safest now offered, as no bad effects ever oc- cur from using it. Mothers try one bottle, and in future you will get no other. Also Dr. Seabrooks Elixir of Pyrophosphate of iron and Cslssaya; also Dr. Bettison's Eng. Horse Liniment, and James Kuddle X Co.'S Ext Jam. Ginger. All the above remedies are unequalled; we cannot understand why their remedies might not as well be taken in the special diseases for which they are recom- . mended, with as much confidence as the pre- serirtion of s rvgulsr physician.

PURIFY YOUR BLOODIII
aiiirleu's sarsaparilla,

OF all the remedies that have been discov- cred during the present age for the thousand ills that flesh is heir to. none equal this won derful preparation. Only ten years have elapsed since >he discoverer, (who spent decade in studying experiments, and perfect, ing it, first introduced it to the public, and it is already recognized by the most eminent physicians in all parts of the country to be the most surprising and effective remedy for certain diseases of which they have knowl- edge. fE
 All other Compounds or Syrups of this root have hitherto failed to command the sanction of the Faculty, because, on being tested, they have been found to contain noxious ingredi- ents, which neutralize the good effects of the Sarsaparilla anG oftentimes injure the health of the patient. It is not so with Hurley s preparation.
 This is the pure and genuine extract of the root and will, on trial, be found to effect a certain and perfect cure of the following com plaints and diseases:
 Affection of the Bones, Habifual COStiveness, Diseases of the
 Kidneys, Dyspepsia, Fry
 sipeias, Female Irreg-
 ularitles, Ffstnla,
