HORRIBLE PUNISHMENT OF A MURDERER
Chinese laborer, not long ago, murdered
whole family of seven persons, in Peru.
He was arrested, and while the parties who
had made the arrest were taking him to the
Judicial authorities he was rescued from his
guards by the inhabitants of the town of
Guadalupe. They took him to the public
square OF their town, covered his body with
kerosene oil, and then burned him alive in
a fire which had been prepared for the pur-
pose.
A counterfeiters' den was discovered four
miles from st. Louis, on Tuesday. Fifteen
thousand dollars in bogus local treasury
warrants, a lot of spurious fifty cent United
States notes, and an assortment of counter
feiters' implements, were captured. A wo-
man living near the place was arrested.
An explosion occurred in q powder mill
and torpedo factory near TitusvilIe, Penn.
recently, by which three workmen were
killed, and the proprietor, Col Davidson
SO seriously injured that his recovery is
doubtful.
Nearly fifty bodies have been washed
ashore near the scene of the Mittie Stephens
disaster, in Red River, Louisiana. One
lady was identified by two wedding rings on
her fingers, each bearing her name.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN WOMEN.

DR.. Holland (''Timothy Thcomb') writes
England othe Springfield Republican -
Il confess to a little disappointment in the
Englishman physically. No American, pass
ing through the streets of London, would i'm
agine that he was among people superior,
physically, to his own. [ speak only of the
men The English woman is larger and
stronger than her American sister, but | am
yet to be convinced of the physical superior
itv Of the Englishman to the American. =
| have tile authority of a competent and
candid English woman for the statement that
The American woman is the handsomer. There
can be no question, / think, that the average
American girl is more beautiful than her
cousin across the water; She has greater
lelicacy of feature, and generally a finer
makeup. She natures earlier, and, it is
quite likely, fades sooner, but the fact that
She is prettier is not to be disputed. The girl
here is, also, under the usage of English So
ciety a suppressed creature. without the free
dom that tavors vivac;ty. Tho American girl
is perfectly at. home in society before the Eng
iiSh girl sees society at all, OF has ever been
permitted to escape the eye of her governess
or her mother.
The American girl may be much too for
ward, but l am sure that the English girl suf-
iers by too great bondage. Female educa-
ton in the two countries differs greatly, and,
singular as it may seem, the education Of the
English girl is more snowy than that of the
American. AS a general thing, the English
girl knows little or nothing of mathematics
and the natural sciences. These branches in
America absorb a great deal Of time, as you
know and you will find multitudes Of Amer
can girls who are adopts in them. That, in
the education ofthe English girl, which strikes
;n American, is their knowledge of lanouare
of literature, Of music and of drawing.
Everything which contributes to show in So
ciety is acquired by the English girl. can
not recall among my English travelling ac-
quaintances a lady who could not Speak
French, and some Of them have spoken
French, italian and German with entire facil-
ity. With these languages at command, with
a wide acquaintance with history and bellies
lettres, and with the accomplishments of
sketching, and playing the piano, it must be
acknowledged that the English girl shows for
all that she is, and that for social purposes
her acquisitions are greatly superior to those
of the American girl"

THE DEAD LOVE.

How few the moons since last immersed
In thoughts of fey'rish, worldly care.

How died at once distractions air.

When on thy lines, so slight, so fair,
Nv hurrying glance arrested fell,
Nv soul that instant saw thee far
Sit in thy crown of bridal flowers,
And with another watch the star
We watch'd in VANISHED yesper hours,
And as paced the lonely room,
/ wondered how that holy ray
tould with its light world illume,
So filled with falsehood and decay.

ts composition, We have thousands upon thou
sands Of certificates of their remarkable cures Of the
following complaints, but such cures are known Ill
every ncighborh0od, and we need not publish them,
Adapted to all ages and conditions in all climates
containing neither calomel or any deleterlous drug,
they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar coating preserves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take while being purely vegetable
no harm can arise from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it
into healthy act0n-remove the distinctions of the
stomach, bowels, liver and other organs Of the
BODY restoring their irregular action to health, and
by correcting, wherever they exist, such defange-
ments as are the first origin Of disease.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
PiHs rapidly cure
For dyspepsia or Hndigestion, ListIes--
meas. LansuOr and Loss of Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom-
ach and restore its healthy tone and action
For Liver C0mpIalnt and its various symp-
toms, Bilious Hea'zache, Sick aIeati.ac he,
Jaundice Gyeen Sickness, Bilious
Collie and EsiliOMs Feyers, they should be ju
dicously taken for each case to correct the diseased
action or remove the distractions which cause it.
For ISyseDsery or Diarrh0ea, but one mild
dose is generally required.
For Rheumatism, GOut, Gravel, Palfi-
tariOB of the Heart, Pain in the Side.
Back and Loins, they should be continuously
taken required, to change the diseased action Of
the system. With such change those complaints
disappear.
For DrOpay and Dropsicai Swetlings they
should be taken in large and frequent doses to pro
duce the effect of drastic purge.
For Suppression large dose should be taken
as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As a Dinner PilI, take one or two PITS to pro
mote digestion and relieve the stomach,
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action restores the appetite,
and myigOrate5 the system. Hence it is often ad-
yantageous where no serious arrangement exists.
One who feels tolerably we'll often finds that dose
Of these PiWS makes him feel decidedly better, from
their cleansing and renovatng effect on the diges
