here:
ministers and editors travel at half price.
Stopping on one occasion at a junction, he
went to hotel close by and had an excel

clerks Office, he entered Ills name 'Thom-
ms Price, Baptist minister, Aberdare.' 20.
sir, said he, Il guess you're a minister Il
guess so, too, said 1. Well, he said, you
have only half to pay. The dinner is eighty

other forty On wha. principle is that p

THE True EoUALIrY OF THE SExEs.-The
time bas come when wives should be no long
er legally considered as the mere property of
their husbands, any more than husbands ere
legally considered as the mere property of
their wives. We demand that all the actions
of husbands and wives-their innocence or
their guilt, their constancy or their frailty-.
shall be judged by one and the same equal
and impartial moral code. To permit a
greater latitude Of license to men than ir wo-
men is to confound oil just moral distinctions.
If it is right for husband to have mistress,
il is right for wife to have paramour.
There is no evading this statement. A man
is coward who shrinks from it. And if it
is right for husband to shoot his wfe's sup
posed paramour, it is just as right fer a wo-
man to shoot her husbands supposed mis-
tress. God is no respecter of persons. I'm
morality is no whit less immoral in men than
in women. Not that we wish to bring wo-
men to the moral standard Of men; but to
raise men up to themoral standard of woman.
And all those laws on our statute books fthe
grim Inheritance of feudal times) which allow
husband to grip her as if she were his dog.
are relics of barbarism and must be swept
away, 7. Independent.

LAKE BIcLER-STRANGE LIGHrNEss OF ITS
WArERs.-From the Territorial Enterprise
we extract as follows:
All who have attempted to swim in the wa
ters of Lake Bigler must have been startled
at their strange lack of bnoyancy. Good
swimmers launch forth into the lake with the
utmost confidence in their skill, and at once
find themselves laundering and only able to
keep afoat by tho most strenuous exertions.
Going into Lake Bigler after swimming in
the generality of lakes-the lakes and streams
of the valleys-is like attempting to swim in
fresh water after having learned the art in
salt water, or even more trying. The bodies
of persons drowned in the lake are never seen
after they are once sunk. OF the five white
persons drowned in the lake not a single
body has ever been recovered Of ever seen.
The bones of all still lie in the lake. How
many Indians may have been lost in its wa
ters in times past 60 one knows. Pine logs
float in the lake but very short time, then
sink never again to rise. In places far down
through the crystal fluid, are to be seen rest
ing upon the bottom great quantities Of slabs,
logs and lumber. The specific gravity of the
water we do not know, though we believe
it has been moro than once analyzed. 1t GER
tainly can hold in solution but very slight
per cent. of minerals of any kind.

HAIR DRESSING,
Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases Of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and C0nSl1nnti0n

For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine has anything won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints Through a long
series of years, and among most of the races OF
men 1t has risen higher and higher IN their estlma.
tion, 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-
miller forms of disease and to young children, it is
at the came 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, it 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
curabe, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mastery
over the 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
torai they subside and disappear.
Singers aud Public Speakers find great pro.
Isthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pecfordl in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, or do more
than the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.

.sSince bis sudden seizure in the midst OF
his readings last year, Mr.. Dickens hasnever

began 70 90 about as before, dirted to and fro
in his ardent, restless way, took long walks
efter his favorite fashion, starting on the
