The paragraph which has been go.
ing the round of the papers respecting
Robert Lincoln having recognized
his deliYeror from railway accident,
when Robert was on his journey from
Chicago to Boston, AS j. w. Booth IS
not 50 wild as many suppOse.--CdR
ton Repository.
The trouble with our Canton friend
is. that he cOnfOunds J. Wilkes Booth
with Edwin Booth. The story going
the rounds about Robert Lincoln be-
ing rescued from RAILROAD accident,
is that his rescuer was Edwin Booth,
not j. Wilkes Booth.
The Canton Repository puts into
the above extract a sensational story
about j. Wilkes Booth having been
recognized on the railroad platform
a Alliance, by a person who eommu-
nicates the fact to that paper, The
probability is that the Immortal J.
N" has been entertained unawares
by the Canton editor, and has ''lifted

Chapped Hands Etc.

IN this season of cold winds many
are suffering from chappcd hsnds,
lips and faces. The following course
will fail to cure, and is almost certain
to prevent these Inconvenience,
Wash the chapped surface with fine
soap, and while the soap is on the
hands place in the palm a tablespoon
full of Indian meal. Before removing
the soap, scrub the hands thoroughly
with the meal and the sOapsuds, then
rinse ten hands. thoroughly with soft
tepid water until all trace of the soap
and dirt from the cracks in the cuticle
Finally, wipe the hands very
thoroughly aud rinse them in enough
water TO moisten their surface, in
which has been poured a quarter of a
teaspoonful' OF pure glycerine, dry
them without wiping, using a mild
heat, and rubbing them until the
water has e~vapOrated. By this process,
the dirt will have been all removed,
and it Is stated will remain a coating
of glycerine. The effects of this APP
plication will be apparent by morning,
fit be made upon retiring 10 rest |;
and whoever tries it nee will do it a
second time. The glycerine must be
pure, however, or it will irritate in
stead Of healing.-Scie1tJfc american.

glad to be instrumental in bringing

enough of tyranny (~conlpuLsion) in

RADICAL misrule. in this country is
apparent from the credit Of the eoun-
try. 1t is the pulse by winch to judge
Of the good or bad results OF radical
rule; The average price of gold at
the close Of the fourth year Of peace
is higher than the average price of
gold at the close Of the second year of
the war. During the month of De
cember, 1862 which was one OF the
very darkest periods Of the great civil
conflict, when the victor Of Antietam
had been removed to make way for
the vanquished OF Fredericksburg,an and
the civilized world was nearly unari-
NOUS prospecting the final disruption
Of the union, the price OF gold ranged
from 1921 to l34. During the month
OF December, 1868, after the complete
triumph Of the Radicals, the election
of Grant, and the success Of the RE-
construction, policy, the price Of gold
ranged from r34b TO 1S6F-its highest
rate being more than tlco per cent, its
lowest nearly slr per celL., above the
rates Of December, 1862! This single
TACT speaks volumes and cannot be
got over. 49,

Brutal Outrage by Clayton's Militia
Where will IL End?

Memphis, January 16.-Last night
nine militiAmen. from the force at
Marion, Ark, went to the house Of a
widow lady, whose name is withheld
at the request of a numerous relatives
here, and outraged her three daugh-
tiers. aged SIXTEEN, eighteen and TWEEN
ty, after helping themselves to what
things they wanted. Information of
the affair Was given to Colonel Watson
commanding the militia, who, this
afternoon, succeeded IN arresting all
the guilty parties. The greatest ex-
element exists at Marion. But for
n promise of Colonel Watson, that
the Williams shall have stern Justice
melted out to them, the community
would now be in arms.
Another party also went to the
house OF Jefferson Reeves, near the
same place, and outraged his wife.
They then went to the house of Mr..
SkiFson, County Clerk. and maltreat-
ed Mrs. Watson, an elderly lady from
New York, living with him. This
party has not been arrested as yet.

The revolutionists in Congress are
divided on the queAtion Of throwing
the State Of Georgia out Of the Union
back into = territorial condition. But
how they stand, for and against, re-
mains to be seen. No man who has
the slightest regard Tor the principles
upon which the Government was
founded, or for mis- oath to support
the Constitution of the Union, can
for a moment, support the measure.
Senator Sherman, OF Ohio, heads the
opposition to it, but whether he can
carry enough of his party with him
to defeat &c, remains to be seen. If a
majority Of . rump Congress can
lawfully break up the Government OF
a State, thrust her people out Of the
Union, and place her under a military
dictator--The Constitution and Union
as framed BY our fathers are gone.
This is not tho ''entertainment'' to
which the people were invited by
those who called themselves Repub.
Leans when tbs party came into
power. One Of the ''planks'' in their
platform was in these words:
Resolved, That the maintenance
fnrioLGte Of the rights Of he States,
and especially OF the right OF each
state TO order and control Its own do
mestic institutions, according to its
own Judgment exclusively, Is essen
tisl 10 that balance OF power on which
the perfection and endurance of our
political fabric depends, and we de-
nounce the lawleSs invasion, by armed
force, OF any State or Territory, no
matter under what pretext, as among
the gravest OF crimes"
No explanation is needed to show
the meaning of this resolution. HI
who runs may read and understand"
This was the Observation-Disclosures
OF the rights OF the States)-the pledge,
that was given to the people Of allthe
States. But, we see an utter forfeit
ure-an outrageous violation Of ''word
and honor" OF oath, of allegiance, of
Constitution and Union. Where or
when the work of perhdy and perjury
will end, is NOT known.
