Our readers have observed that we
rarely praise patent medicines, and
that we advertise only the best of them.
But now, the remarkable recovery Of
Mrs. Rice of Canastota, from her dis
tressing and almost helpless scrofulous
disease, which is known throughout
the community, and unquestionably
the effect of Ayers Sarsaparilla, leads
us to publish without reserve the re-
markable efficacy of this medicine
We do this in the interest of the affiic
ted. Any remedy which can so effec-
tually "raise from the dead" should
be UNIVERSALLY known and we wish it
may be universally as successful as it
has been in the case of Mrs. Rice

JUSTICE TEMPERED WITH MERCY.
Benedict Miller, Geman tramp"
picked up a double-barrel gun which
had been placed against tree near the
road, in Snake Spring, by one of our
modern Nimrods. Miller-as he after
wards alleged before the Justice-saW
no owner, and as no one claimed the
gun as he marched along with it,
he imagined his right to the same
was superior to that of any one
elsa sort of ownership acquired by
the right of discovery. But the way
faring Teuton was speedily brought
to grief. At the Forks he was met by
a hunter who knew the gun and who
was aware that it had been taken at
the place aforesaid. A warrant was is
sued, and the German with his gun
was brought to face stern justice. His
story before the magistrate was so SIM
pie, that the sympathy of the crowd
was almost unanimously elicited In
his favor. The prosecutor, too, was
anxious for his release, and offered to
pay all costs. Justice yielded to mer-
cy, and Miller, after being admonish-
ed to do so no more, was set at liberty,
for which act of magnanimity he SEEM
ed truly grateful.

AFRICAN PARADE.-On Thursday
night last, our town was the scene of a
torch-light parade on the part Of the
gentlemen of color" residing in this
neighborhOod, reinforced by the wait
ers at abe Springs. We believe there
was no other purpose in the affair than
the amusement of those engaged in it.
There was a number of torches, Chi
nese lanterns and transparencies and a
large American flag was carried in
front of the procession, which was pre-
ceded by drum and fife. The caps and
hats of the darkies were of the most
fantastic sort, some of them wearing
the old-fashioned chGpeau bras, made
of paper, giving them the appearance
of so many brigadier generals on dress
parade. After marching through the
streets, the procession halted in front
of the residence of Mrs. Anderson, on
Pitt street, when Gen. Ben. Taylor,
head waiter at the Springs, in a short
speech, expressed his gratitude for the
kind treatment he had always receiv-
ed from the proprietors of the Springs.
&c, &c. Neither of the Messrs. An
derson being at home, DIR. c. n. Hick-
ok, at the request Of the ladies of the
house, thanked Gen. Taylor and his
''compatriots" for their polite demon
stration. The procession was orderly,
no disturbance whatever occurring.
We were glad to notice that no politi-
cal mottos were displayed on the ban
ners. We shall always have kind
word to say for our African pOpula-
ton so long as their behavior is as
good as on Thursday night last,

A HAPPY SoLUTIoN.-The Crists
remarks: Ben. Wade says he is 10
favor of Chinese emigration because
the Chinese don't repudiate their
debts. II Ben. Wade is to be taken
for the great statesman that the loyal
think him, there is a happy solution
to the question of reputation. If
the Chinese step in and pay the pub
lie debt Of this country, they will &C
complish more than the white people
ever will. Ben's was happy thought.
Let the public debt be turned over
to the honest and opulent Celestials
aud negroes for payment, aud let all
further trouble about the matter be
abandoned, including the internal
and other revenue robberies. The
white people of this country would be
delighted with the assurance that the
Asiatics would pay the public debt;
but the drawback to their felicity
consists in the fact that Ben. Wade,
the informant, knows no more about
the Chinese than can be learned from
the hisroglyPhics cd a tea box and
his expression at q San Francisco,
banquet, that the Chinese were ga

NUIsAScE.-The City Council should
take measures to have the water drained
off that accumulates at the intersection
of Third and Alder streets. The diff
Guilty appears to be that the bridge is so
low that it catches everything floating
down the Aume and this becomes choak-
ed. As it is now, the water is damned
up, and accumalating forms filthy ,slimy
pools, the very thing to breed disease.
For very trifling sum the cover of the
fume could be raised and the water
drained off greatly to the relief of the
neighborhood. Will the members of
the Council give this matter their atten>
tion ?

floor of which will be divided up into
roomy lodging apartments, The buildN
ing will be ceiled throughout, thus ex-
cluding the dust that is SO annoying

able hotel is something that is badly
wanted at Walla WallA, aud with the
completion of these improvements Mr..

A CALCUTTA sduaHt, who figns
himself "a Cameron" has startled
India with an extraordinary proposal.
He is disposed to believe in the ex'
istence of tailed mea and women
somewhere in Borneo, and calls upon
the Government, the Bengal Asiatic
Society, and the Indian Museum au'
thorities to aid 10 getting a scientific
exposition to 60 in search Of them.
Cameron says: "When was in
Sarawak | met now and then with
traders who had been in the Ryan
country TO the northwest of the
northern peninsula or projection OF
Borneo, who gave me detailed aud
definite accounts of a race Of men
(not the orang-outang) who dwelt
among dense forests, living up trees
(Which are Of gigantic size) with their
wives and children, with their bows
and arrows, and other rude imple-
ments, whatever they may be. They
lived entirely by hunting, aud had no
sort of agriculture. 1 do not recOl-
lect now, after the lapse of such a
long period, whether l was informed
that they made use of fire. or whether
they cooked at all. They went, Of
course, entirely naked. They had no
intercourse with any other people,
and spoke a gibberish Of their own
1t was only now and then that Kyans,
Malays, or Dyaks ever came upon
their Ieafy habitatiOus, when, Of
course. a speedy retreat used to be
beat BY the strangers. These 40
counts by the people who had been
in that part of the country were con
frmed BY other Dyak tribes and BY
Malays."

ASTOUNDING. - The Onion has
learned of a democrat down in Oregon
who is indicted on the charge of per

it scarcely makes a stand off for j.
D. Cook and Orley Hull, both prOmi'
nent republicans of this county, who
were indicted for willful perjury, and
most likely will heve to stand their
trial at the next term of the District
Court. When it comes to perjury,
the radicals can discount the demo-

JUDGE NoeGLE, of Idaho, ha
rendered a decision in which be
strongly invcighs against the special
tax imposed upon Chinamen. Owing
to the form 10 which the case was
brought into Court, judgment was
rendered against the Cinnamon, but
when the complaint comes up amend
ed, the Judge very distinctly intimat'
ed that he will declare the law
unconstitutional. The Judge be
longs, to progressive radicalism and
having secured the negroes in their
rights it is perfectly proper that be
should go for the Chinamen. The
radicals don't favor Chinese suffrage.
Oh, no
