CnRIsTMAs.-The following ex-
cellent article was written by the
wife of Working Man for the
New York Sun. in reply to an arti-
Gle headed IA Wor4ingman's Wife
on Christmas':
Sir: In your last issue is com
munication with the above head
ing, and signed f R. S., and for
the life of me / cannot fancy what
comfort or good the writer expects
to derive with parading her do
mestic troubles before the public.
The theme of her complaint is,
that she is. unable to purchase for
her children some Christmas toys,
owing to her husbands wages be-
ing paid once a month. But fear
1t is not in the matter Of wages
where the trouble lies. but in the
| writer's own mismanagement; and
let me relate to her a little Of nv
own experience. Three ye-rs ago
found my husband and me under
the necessity Of occupying a small
room. Christmas came, but with
empty stockings for the little ones.
A feeling Of sorrow, and perhaps
a mothers tears fell at the time as
I thought on our situation; but the
few dollars we had struggled hard
to save, instead of being flung
away on toys, went for q bed
stead, for we had Zone, and had
to bundle on the floor. My hus-
bands wages were paid monthly
only S40-and we foutht together
until we had full months wages
saved, and then we could stand in
dependently and pay for every
thing as we got it. You might
say how did we get it9 I answer,
we made up our minds to do =, ,.-d

HON. j. NJ. WILSON.

With this term of the Circuit
Court, which will close this week.
Judge WILSON will close his Judi
cial term. His reputation as jur.
ist is SO we'll established that moth
ing we could say is needed to ac-
quaint the public with the popular
estimate of his abilities. No man
has ever occupied the Bench of this
Circuit who has gained more com.
pletely the confidence and respect
Of both the Bar and the people
than he has; and never were conf
dence and respect more edeservingly
bestowed. He is able, impartial
and courteous, and the Democrats,
we may say, especially among the
lawyers, are no less enthusiastic
in their praise than the Republi-
cans. With the young members Of
the profession he is especially pop.
ular he has always treated them
with great kindness, and given the
greatest encouragement a Judge
can extend close and patient atten-
ton to everything they could say
in their cases
He came upon the Bench of this
Circuit in l865-having served
four years upon the Common Pleas
Bench in an adjoining District.
In all that time we do no. remem-
ber ever to have heard charge Of
partiality preferred against him; or
his ability or integrity called in
question. He has apeculiar fitness
for q Judicial career; and, If he
had chosen to continue tha. course
would have attaind to high posi-
tion. We can not but regret, both
for BE oYa SAKE and that of the
pasiaes saas be has forsaken it, to

Al vertizing Agencies.

We lately heard Of an anecdote
related of travelling representa-
tive of q well known patent medi-
cine firm who was endeavoring to
contract with the publishers of a
leading Western paper. II am
impressed said he "with your es-
tablishment; it reminds me of that
of G. P. Rowell & Co., OF New
York, with only this distinction,
you ask a great deal of money for
little advertising for a little
money
This is the impression that ma
ny obtain and not without Justice,
for although Messrs Rowell Il Co :,
have new. claimed to be able to
insert advertisements in Newspa
pers at lower prices than the pub
fishers would accept from equally
responsible advertisers who furnish
similar amount of patronage,
yet in this last clause lies much of
their success For some years they
have been the largest customers OF
most Of the newspapers published
in the United States.
Their American Newspaper Di
rectory which is conceded by all
persons competent to pass judg-
ment upon such work to be the
most complete volume of its char
acter ever issued in this or any
other country, may be found on
the shelves Of every prominent ad-
vertiser.
Our patrons can always be sure
of finding file OF our papers open
to their free inspection at the office
of Messrs. Rowell Il Co., whenever
they happen to be in New York
and want to read the news from
home.

1t is not necessary to take handful OF
these Pills to produce the desired effect; two
of them act quickly and powerfully. clea ns-
ing the Liver, Stomach. ind bowels of all
impurities. The principal iugre ient is Pod
ophyllin, or the Alcoholic Extract of Man
drake, which i by many times more Power
full, Acting and Searching. than the Mandrake
itself. It's peculiar action is upon the Liver,
cleansing it speedily from all obstructions
the injurious resuits attached to the use Of
that mineral.
For all diseases, in which a cathartic is in
dicated, these Pills will give entire satsfac
ton in every case. They necer fail.
In OF Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia,
and extreme Costiveness, DIR. Hoohand's Ger
man Bitfers pr Tonic should be used in con-
necton with the Pills. The tonic effect of
the Btters or Tonic BULLS up the system
The Bitters or Tonic purifies the Blood,
strengthens the nerves, regulates the Liver,
and gives strength, energy. and rigor.
Keep your Bowels active with the Pills,
and tone up the system with Bit;ers or Tonic,
and no disease can retain its hold, or ever
sail you.
These medicines are sold BY all Druggists
and dealers in medicines everywhere.
Recollect that it is Dr.. HoorLANDs GER

and highly recommended; and do not allow
the Druggist to induce you to take anything
else that be may say is just as good, because
he makes larger profit on it. These Rem

The Duke of AOsta won't be King Of
Spain.

The troubles of Spain in filling
Isabella's throne seem to be as far
from termination as ever. Prince
Amadeus Of italy has prudently
reconsidered his hasty acceptance
Of the crown; and if he is amen
able to sound advice, he will ulti-
mately decline altogether. These
good counsels have reached him
through an old diplomat. Mr.. Ger
ruti, who has represented Italy at
the Court of Madrid for some time
past.
Mr.. Cerruti has assured Victor
Emanuel that if his son becomes
King, he can count on the antago,
nism Of the old nobility, OF q ma
jority of the army and navy, of all
the moneyed interests of the ma
ton, and Of a great many Of the
Ministers who favored the consti-
tuition Of 1869. Further. that the
Carlists and Republicans, who
have SO far been kept down by
force of arms, will in all probabil- :
ity break into open revolution as
soon as foreigner attempts to
rule over Spaniards.
The collapsed condition of the
fnaLces Of the country has been
clearly demonstrated. The pro-
Gee ds of the confiscated church
properties have been recklessly
squandered. and the clergy remain
unpaid. The amounts of unpaid
salaries due to State pensioners,
school teachers, and others, are
enormous. In fact, nothing has
been paid but the army and the
navy, and these only partially.
Eleven national loans have been
contracted in European markets
since the revolution of September,
1868; and while payment Of inter
ests on the internal debt is suspen-
ded, the Finance Minister now
finds il impossible to raise dol
lar. Protests are crowding into
Madrid from every city of any i'm :
portance in Spain, declaring that
it is impossible for their inhabit-
ants to pay even the present taxes,
and that it will be dangerous to
hint at imposing new ones. And
lastly, in Seville, Malaga, in many
parts Of Galicia, and ever in N ad
rid itself, open demonstrations
against the Macarnoi King-as
they term him-haye been made,
and many lives lave been already
lost.
Castelar's warning to Amadeus
in which he SO eloquently de
scribed how, whatever else Spain
has lost, she still retains in every
province that love of independence
for which she has ever been re-
nowned-has apparently not pass
ed unheeded. No other fate than
Macmillan in Mexico can await
the Italian in Spain, and we sim
cerely rejoice shat he has listened
to the voice of reason before it is
too late The cause of progress
and self-government in Europe
may be materially benefited by
this difficulty in providing a King
even for a constitutional mon-
archy.

Hollands German Tonic

Was compounded for those not inclined to
extreme bitters, and is intended for use in
cases when some alcoholic stimulant is re-
quired in connection with the Tonic proper
ties Of the Bitters. Each bottle of the Tonic
contains one bottle OF the Bitters, combined
with pure SANTA CRUZ RUM and favored in
such a manner that the extreme bitterness Of
the Bitters is overcome, forming e prepara-
ton highly agreeable and pleasant to the pal
ate, and containing the medicinal virtues of
the Bitters. The price OF the Tonic is S1.50
per bottle, which many persons think too
high. They must take into consideration that
the stimulant used is guaranteed to be of a
pure quality. A poor article could be fur
nished at a cheaper price, but is it not better
to pay a little more and have good article ?
A medicinal preparation should contain none
but the best Ingredients, and they who ex-
pect to obtain a cheap compound will most
certainly be cheated.

Death to me would bring no such

AN APPALLING LECTURE.
X ad, Tremble an d Desfstl

Read, Tremble an Desfstl
A small army of men, citizens OF
this vicinity, might be named who
are marching on in signal file, to
drunkard's grave. The head ofthe
procession is on the brink and the
others follow closely.
These men are we'll known to all
and especially to the whiskey-seller.
We should think that, every time a
dealer sets a glass up for one of
them he would snuff the hot breeze
Of hell. just think of the mean
ness Of selling to wrecked man
that which hurries him into the
drunkard's grave that is already
dug. Why, The man who will do
it would pour whiskey into the
mouth OF a corpse if the ten cents
were paid. But we did not intend
to write lecture Of our own. We
print below the most terrific tenn
perance lecture We have ever heard.
It is an incident from John B.
Coughs latest lecture. Read it,
whiskey sellers, whskey drinkers,
and then say yeur payers.
Mr.. Cough says:
A minister Of the gospel told me
in 1847, one of the most thrilling
incidents ever heard in my life.
A member Of his congregations
came home intoxicated for the first
time ia his life, and his boy met
him upon the door step clapping
his hands and exclaiming, "Papa
has come homer He seized the
boy by the shoulder, aud aunR

years of age asleep with a dead
babe in the house, having a blue
mark upon his temple where the cor
ner of the marble step had come in
contf ct with the head, as he swung
him around and a wife on the brink
OF the grave! They had told me
that must stay till he awoke, and
l did. When he awoke he passed
his hand over his face and exclaim-
ed, whist is tie matter? where
am I! Where is my boy?' he in
quired. "You cannot see him.''
Stand out of my way, will see my
boy" To prvent confusion l took
him to the child's bedside, and as
l turned down the sheet and showed
him the corpse he uttered shrek,
