Is the great remedy that physicians appeal to
and use almost entirely In all diseases of the
Liver. There are thousands at the present time
that are suffering with the rheumatic p ns in
the joints, caused by the use of Calomel which
has created disease of its own worse than that
which it was intended TO cure. There is no
drug that leaves it's marx more prominent in
The system. Yet, perhaps, there are times when
IT can be given, and have bepfcial effect but
should not be dealt out as it has been, and is at
the present time, by those that pretend to know
what they are doing, but in reality do not. The
Liver 10 more liable to disease than any other
organ in the human system, and when that fails
TO do its duty it leaves the weak points of the
body exposed, as the bile is not thrown off, hut
taken up by the blood, as it passes through this
great filter of the system, and becomes impure.
Then follows train of diseases, whose name is
Legion. There are many lbat rufFer from psin
in the side and across the body, dull, heavy,
drowsy feeling, hesdAche, pain in the right side,
often severe pain In the bowels, costiVeLsss fat
ulence diarr hea, more less indigestiop lofs of
appetite, salow skin, white of the eyes yellow,
sinking Of 1e'h, depression of spirits, at other
times a great craving for food. Some Of these
symptoms are caused only by torpidity Of the
Liver. 1t is imposs BILE to give all the symptoms
Of deranged Liver, and they are all cureable
without tie aid Of Calomel.

Two CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH. - Last Wednesday evening, two little girls, of six and four years respectively, were left with Kerosene lamp burning in the chamber in which they had been put to bed The house took fire and the children perished. They cannot tell their story, but all the appearances indicate that the ire originated in their room, the lamp's s flame being the only fire therein. There was probably an explosion, with the usual consequences. This might have bt en oc- casloned in various ways known to those who are familiar with the dangers of this method of artificial illumination. To add to this wretched accident" the mother of the children, inconsolsble for their loss, has become a maniac. Further comment seems to us to be quite unnecessary ''- N. F. Tribune

Tne Nu-Rlux Ontragea.


The Committee appointed by the last
session of Congress to investigate the
charges of o-called Ku-Klux outrages
in the Southern States has been actively
engaged at Washington for some weeks
past in that business. The result of the
Committees labors thus far has not been
altogether satisfactory to the Radical
leaders who had looked forward to it as
the source of flaming Developments
adapted to campaign purposes. The
original design of the zealots has miscar-
ried-both proving too much, and de-
veloping social condition at the South
better than they had previously led to
suppose. When the Presidential cleo
tion takes place, the people will be so
pressed by finance and business issues
chat tbey will have no room to accent
the false stories in reiatfon TO q Ku klux
organization in the South-or else the
Executive and Congress will use the
powers conferred upon them to elect
President through the infusion of mill
tary power The people are hardly ripe
for this, and we trust never again will be.

twenty thousand dollars, and It is said
that his mother was the lawful heir to the
money.
These four deaths, occurring within
four years in the family, have furnished
material for great variety OF specula-
tions, and there are those who pretend TO
recognize the deadly act Of the prisoner
in each of them.
Mrs. L. G.. Wharton, the accused, is an
exceedingly intelligent and well-bred
lady, perhaps forty FIVE or fifty years of
age, of rather slender build, and has the
appearance of being in delicate health.
She is said to belong to a Philadelphia
family of high social position, and has
in her person all the graces that mark
the accomplished woman. 1t is probable
that further developments will be made
in the case.

HAWTHORNE, in his diary, makes re-
cord of day wherein he resolved to
speak to no human being. He went TO
his village postofice, then returned, and
triumphantly records the fact that he
spoke to no one. Is it any wonder, that
with all his genius, Hawthorne was mel
aneholy and unhappy? How much bet
ter and wiser the opposite course. Think
of the happiness you can convey to 9TH
ers by kindly notice and cheerful con-
versation. Think how much sunshine
such sociability lets back into your own
soul. Who does not feel more cheerful
and contented for receiving polite bow,
genial good morning, a hearty pressure
of the hand2 Who does aot make him
self the happier by these little express
sions of fellow-feeling and good will :
Silence, and stiff unbending reserve are
essentially selfish and even vulgar. The
generous and polite have pleasant recog-
nitions and cheerful words for all. They
scatter sunbeams wherever they 60. They
pave the pathway of others with smiles.
They make society genial, and the world
delightful to those who else might find is
cold, selfish, and forbidding. And what
they give is but titbe OF what they re-
ceiye. Be sociable then wherever you
90. and let your lightest words be cloth
ed in words that are sweet, and spirit
that is genial.
