EFFECTS OF THE MASSACHUSETTS LIQUOR
LAw.-On Thursday of last week q posse of
four State constables and deputies visited the
house of Mr. Thomas Swithin, at Quincy,
during his absence, and proceeded to search
the house for liquor Before they had gone
far in their search Mr.. Swithin arrived and
requested to see their warrant. They refused
to exhibit it, He then asked them TO display
their badges. This was also refused, and he
then informed them that he should protect
his house against any unwarrantable intru-
sion. They overpowered him, threw him
down, and handcuffed him, then searched
the house and confiscated a jug of cherry
rum, about one-half of which had been in
Mr.. Swithins possession forsix years. They
also secured little of the raw rum which
had been left not yet put ON cherries. The
jug was full to the cork, showing plainly that
the liquor was not in usualuse. Mr.. Swithin
was then taken under guard to Neponset,
where he was tried before Justice Temple
and fined $685. for resisting the officers ofthe
law, the constables swearing that he threat
ened to use gun in protecting his house,
which Mr.. Swithin declares is an untruth.-

ECUMENICAL.-The exact meaning of
this word has recently become the subject of
dispute. The general idea prevails that
ecumenical simply signifies general" The
word, however, says the Philadelphia Ledger,
is derived from the Greek noun oikoumene,
the inhabited world" which was used by
the ancient Helenes, to designate their por-
ton of the earth, as opposed to barbarian
lands. Later it became the appellation of
the Roman Empire" and persons who ad-
here to the primitive meanings of words and
will not admit secondary senses, contend
that an Gcumenical council cannot be held.
The first councils, it is contended, were
meetings ofthe bishops of the Roman EN-
pirc, and were presided over by the reignng
emperor or his representative. In the new
Testament, "okumene'' is employed to de-
note the Kingdom of Christ" and in this
sense may be appropriately applied to a con-
sultation of the entire household of faith

Mrs. 1ineoln's Second oice----something
About the Count Schneidenhutzen.

The "happy dog" as our readers have al
ready be, advised, is Count Schneidebutzen,
Grand Chamberlain to the Duke of Baden.
Although this title is rather imposing, it does
not, in the Counts own home, imply eitler
an impressive weight of dignity or purse
noticeably heavy The Duke of Baden has
small cash to spare, and none to bestow on
Grand Chamberlains, who have little to do
about his court, and who "come cheap" in a
land where every fourth Dutchman is q count
or baron. Indeed, q moderate belly-full of
kraut and pumpernickel every Sunday is the
only kind of government pap" that ever dis
tends the shriveled skin of Schneidenbutzen,
who is an uncommonly sorry specimen of
the Teutonic nobility. The poor fellow is
said to be in ecstasies over his good fortune
in securing an heiress for wife, and to be
especially joyous in the prospect of falling
into the vacant shirts, socks, breeches, and
shoes of the "late lamented," large number
of which have not yet followed his coats and
hats to the junk shop. A pair of the mar
tyr's" trowsers is being cut down for Schnei-
denbutzen by Count Kotzenbratzen, the
Grand Dukes tailor, s. being short-legged
little fellow, while the late A. L., as every
body knows, strobe the land on pair ofnat-
ural stills 1t will be funny sight, not,
however, without some melancholy sugges-
tiveness, to behold poor Schneidenbutzen
leading "Mary, relict of Abraham Lincoln,
deceased" to the altar, clad in the veritable
habiliments of his illustrious predecessor
his breeches shining with autographs grease
spots left by White House dinners of the
past-his little feet shaking about loose in a
pair of Illinois boots q mile too big for them
and his tiny hands encased in pair of
enormous yellow kids, in which the fist of
the martyr was said to bear striking resem-

little 5. For our part, we don't begrudge
him stitch ofthe sacred wardrobe. He will
have earned it all before he is done with
Mary L., and as she only reserved after her
bereavement those garments which nobody
would buy, her new husband will begin his
matrimonial career by falling into uncom-
monty bad habits.

HORSES ON THE COURSE.

NURSES ON THE C6URSE.
The San Francisco Alta of October 81, has
the following
Yesterday large numbers of people visited
Bay View Park to witness the two hundred
mile race between William Walsh and Neil
Mowry for stake of $1,000a side and a
championship gold medal presented by Mr..
Silas Seleck, the proprietor According to
the terms of the race, each man was to be al
lowed twenty horses, with five in reserve.
AT an early hour the contestants presented
themselves, and the horses provided for each
were examined. The riders started soon
after o'clock, and up to the completion of
the fortieth mile the chances seemed about
even. At this point Walsh in changing
horses, fell, and was so badly injured as to
cause delay of some two minutes. During
the early part of the race, Walsh was de-
cidedly the favorite, but Mowry who had
been saving his stock soon made up the diff
ference, and CALAMITY won the race and the
title of champion rider for long distances.
The following was the time made: Mowry
hours So minutes and as seconds; Walsh,
8 hours and Is seconds. The best time for
one mile made during the race was by w alsh
in 2 minutes and 10 seconds

the switchman, who was carefully furnished
by the company with time table for his guild
ance as to the running of the trains, could
not read word of his time table nor any

mans fault, but his misfortune. But what
censure is too severe for the company who

GENERAL LEE ON THE DEATH OF GEORGE
PEADoDY.-The followingis a noble tribute
TO George Peabody, which General Lee, on
hearing of his death, wrote to Mr.. Peabody
Russell, the nearest living relative ofthc de.
ceased:
LEXINGTON, Va, Nov. 10, 1869.
My Dear Mr.. Russell: The announcement
of the death ofyour uncle Mr.. George Pea
body, has been received with the deepest re-
greet wherever his name and benevolence are
known; and nowhere has his generous deeds
restricted to no country, section or sect
elected more heartfelt admiration than at the
South. He stands alone in history for the
benevolent and judcious distribution of his
great wealth. and his memory has become
cntwined in the affections of millions of his
fellow.citizens on both hemispheres.
l beg in my own behalf and in behalf of
the trustees and faculty of Washington Col
lego, Virginia, which was not forgotten by
him in his acts of generosity, to tender the
tribute of our unfeigned sorrow at his death.
With great respect your obedient servant

Ayers Cherry PectoraI,
For Diseases OF the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and CONSUMPTION.

fOr Dlb0hS6b Oh INC huo A1uukpe
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before In the whole history Of
upon the confidence Of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, and among most of the races Of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat have made it known as re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mder forms of disease and to young children, 1t Is
ut the same time the most efectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dam
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, 1t should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidOte for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
over tile disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
toj'al they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PectoraI in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publ Ii the certificates of them here, do more
than the public that its qualities are fully
maintained
