The red-stripcd pole of the barber
is said to have originated from the
fact that, some centuries ago, it was
customary for BARRIERS to bleed people;
and the pole, with alternate, winding
stripes Of white and red represented
the bandaged arm ofthephlebotomized
victim. In course of time the apoth-
ecary superseded the barber as blood
letter; but the old sign of the craft
was retained by the latter, after the
function which gave it significance had
ceased. ~

A GOOD rule is in force on some of.
the railroads of Pennsylvania, to the
effect, that the officers Of such roads
are clearly forbidden to sell a ticket to
or allow intoxicated persons to ride in
any of their cars. This rule is excel
lent, and should be applied to all bu-
siness. No man intoxicated should be
allowed to appear any where on a
railroad car, on the highway, the side
walk, at market, in a business trans
action, or in fact, any where in public,
for the reason that the drunkard is an
unclean and unsafe thing. 'res

a "TERRIBLE OUTRAGE" has just
been badly spoiled. The democratic
papers in the Northern States have for
some time past been circulating a story
to the effect that one of Gen. Mowers
soldiers, negro, recently outraged the
Generals daughter, young lady of
some sixteen years, while on duty at
Ship Island, Louisiana. They further
stated that as General Mower was
radical, he had the negro quietly ar
rested and executed; without making
either an official or unofficial report Of
the matter The Albany Evening
Journal spoils this story by stating
that General Mower never had
daughter, and is not now and never
was married man in his life. So
much for that 'outrage." What will be
the character of the next? ,-i--c'

opinion of old maids in the following

many of the satirical aspersions cast
upon old maids tell more to their cred

She will certainly be an old maid. Is
she particularly reserved toward the,
other sex? She has all the squeamish-,
ness ofan old maid. Is she frugal in
her expenses, and exact in her domestic
concerns? Sheis cut out for an old
maid. And if she be humane to the,
animals about her, nothing can save her,
from the apellation ofan old maid. In.
short, have always found that neat
ness, modesty, economy, and humanity
are the never-failing characteristics Of
that terrible creature--sold maid I.

FROM NEW YORK.
Correspondence of the Ohio Statesman.l
New YORK, April 25, 1868.

NEW IOhh, april 10, 1ooO.
The East River bridge proposition
still attracts considerable attention
though the project seemingly makes very
little real progress. All sorts of ideal
bridges have been born of this already.
One bridge enthusiast and maniac urges
the Importance of having six of these
ponderous affairs across the East River.
He cant even waitto see if the first shall
be a success. He or some of his family
will probably attack the North River
next. This comes of having an undue
measure of the spirit of the age, and yet
this kind of fellow is nor lightly to be
"sneezed at" His ideas and those of
some of his family may be somewhat
crude but they are wonderously sugges-
tive, and this city is to-day blessed with
many a work the idea of which had
dreadfully rough birth in the brains of
enthusiasts, W ho were laughed at in their
time.
That the poor woman, living in this
city and dependent on the work of her
own hands for her livelihood, has hard,
sad time of it none can deny who
has given her position a thought.
But how much harder it is than we are
apt to realize is shown by the payment,
iii one instance, as is currently reported,
of sixteen cents for the making of four
pairs of pantaloons. The song of the
pantaloons is noless weary than the song
of the shirt. Some believe that only a
man here or there has soul, and this
man of the precious sixteen cents would
seem to furnish an argument for this
| theory. We have thousands of aban-
ldoned women in this city; their num-
bers are positively alarming; and should
not we Immediately seek to know how
many have joined this hopeless sister
hood because of such men as this one,
who gives four cents for the making OF
one pair of pantaloons2 7aqo s-g

PULM0NIC LIFE SYRUP,
FOR THE CURE OF


Incipient Consumption, Coughs, Colds, Groups.
Asthma, Liver Complaints. Dyspepsia and General
Debility. For several ears have been urged by
kind friends, who have used and been benefited
by my Life Syrup, to put up for general sale but
few know the large expense. now that the country
is flooded with Patent Medicines, which attend the
same. For years past was reluctant to do so, as
the capital required would be large, and did not
wish to curtail the operations of my Venetian Lin
iment business. But, thanks to the generous pub
ic, who have appreciated my Venetian Liniment,
am now able to do so, without any detIiment to
my large business in that medicine. The founda-
tion of my success attribute to attending to the
manufacture of every drop myself. and shall do the
same in regard to my Pulmonic Life Syrup. The
ingredients are perfectly harmless but act on the
Lungs and Liver with astonishing effect. Price rs
