Ayers Cathartic Pills,
For all the purposes Of a Laxative

Perhaps no one med-
cine Is SO universally re-
qured by everybody as
A a cathartic, nor was ever
-,<A any before universal
N ly adopted into use, in
ys 81: s:
son is, that it's more re-
SaAAuun. liable and far more effec-
-I-H tual remedy than any
==NS other. Those who have
tried it, know that it cured them; those who have
not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends
and all know that what it does once it does always
that it never fails through any fault or negecto1
its composition. We have thousands upon thou
sands of certificates of their remarkable cures of the
following complaints, but such cures are known in
every neighborhood, and we need not publish them
Adapted to all ages and conditions in all climates
containing neither calOmel any deletcriouS drug,
they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar coating preserves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable
no harm can arise from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal vscera to purify the blood and stimulate it
into healthy action the distractions of the

body restoring their irregular action to health, and
by correcting, wherever they exist, such derange.
ments are the first origin of disease.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure:-
For Dyspepsia or IndigestiOn, Listless.
mess, LanguOr and Loss Of Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom-
ach and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complains and its various symp-
TOMS Bilious Headache, Sick Kfeadac he,
Jaundice or Green Sickness, Bilious
Collie and Bilious Fevers, they should be jul
dicousy taken for each to correct the diseased
action or remove the distractions which cause it.
For Dysentery or DiarrhOeo, but one mild
dose is generally required.
For Rheu atism, GOut, Gravel, Paint.
tatiOn Of the Heart, Pain In the side,
Back and LOins, they should be continuously
TAKEN required to change the diseased action Of
the system. With such change those complaints
disappear.
For DrOpsy and Dropaical Swellines they
should be taken in large and frequent doses to pro-
duce the effect of drastic purge.
For Suppression large dose should be taken
as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro.
mote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the SYSTEM Hence it is often adj
vantageous where no serious arrangement exists.
One who feels tolerably WELL often finds that dose
of these Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from
their cleansing and renovatns effect on the diges-
tive apparatus.

WHEN powdered material, such a.
silica, for example, is mixed with water.
the coarser portions will settle, leaving
exceedingly minute particles still float
ing. If Il drop of the water is taken
under microscope these particles will
be seen to keep up singular mo ton.
which is not unlike that of living crea-
lures. This is now recognized by micro
scopists as the " Brownan notion and
has to be carefully distinguished from
that which it so closely Stimulates the
motion of animated creatures. Dr.
Bastian, who recently claimed that he
had succeeded in proving spontan eous
generation, by producing animalcule in
closed tubes, out of pure chemical sub
stances, has come to grief. His expert
ments were exactly reproduced step by
step, by another, who had assisted him
previously in preparing his tubes. The
result shows that his chemicals corr oded
the glass, filed the liquid with spiculae
and particles of silica, and gave the
" Brownian movement" which he mis-
took for life. Prof. Huxley, who has
been for some time combating DR.. Bas.
tian's long essays on this supposed dis
covery, was present at the last demon
stration, which leaves the doctor with
no possible hope of proving his tn cory,
and leaves spontaneous generation still
to keep company with perpetual mo ton
and the philosophers stone.

JOINT HIGH oMMIssIoN.-During the
past weeks session of the High Com
mission, the relations of the two coun-
tries to each other have been considered
in general way, with view to seeing
what concessions might be made by
either side before any particular matter
Of dispute shall be taken up for settle
ment. The impression which prevailed
at first, that England was prepared to
offer the olive branch, and that mere
bubbles would be discarded for candid
and frank avowal of wrongs committed
and damages to be adjusted, has given
place for the fear that England is not
disposed to make auy magnanimous
concessions, and that if any arrangement
is entered into for the settlement of the
pending questions, it will be on basis
of equivalent. The Commissioners seem
to incline rather TO the plan of purchas-
ing the right of our fishermen to fish
freely in Canadian water without re-
striction. This is looked upon as an easy
mode of settlement. On the other hand,
there is decided popular sentiment
against commencing the adjustment Of
our differences with England by our
agreeing to pay England money. 1t is
said that neither the revival Of the re-
ciprocity treaty nor payment of con-
siderable sum for the right to fish
forever in Canadian waters, would be
popular with our people. 1t is hoped,
however, that the Commission, after
thorough consideration of the subject,
may arrive at some solution which will
be mutually satisfactory.

Buried Treasure.
From the Pineville mo- Press.


Fortune seekers who have for years
diligently and assiduously labored to
obtain Captain Kidd's lost treasure
would do well to come to Mcdonald
and try then hand. During the war a
man named Asbury Carter buried sew
eral thousand dollars, on the opposite
side Of Elk river, near Pineville. Carter
was afterwards killed, and the money
has not yet been discovered. He was
not connected with the army, but to
evade Federal soldiers, who, in this part
of the State, most generally arrested,
and in most cases shot, all who did not
happen to think as they did, he was
stopping with relative in secluded
section near town, when the house was
one day surrounded by a squad of In
dians in the United States service, and
who shot and killed him. He was
known to have had several thousand
dollars in money, and as he was shot in
the house, and not searched by his muir
derers, and the money not being found
on his person, the general impression is
that he had buried it in the neighbor-
hood. In fact, it is said that he had
previously informed some of his friends
that his money was buried, but did not
designate the spot. Dligent search has
been made, but as yet the treasure has
not been found.

THE expectation Of food from Ireland
to England is very large, and the Par
liamentary returns show that in 1870
there were sent across the Irish Chan
mel POP, 443 hea of beef cattle, 100000
sheep, innumel able swine, and daily
supply of butter and eggs. By means
of steamship companies Liverpool has
secured the monopoly of the cattle car
rying trade Of Dublin and during 1870
Ireland furnished constant supply of
fresh meat to Liverpool and Birken-
head, comprising a population of
100000 residents, as well as l63,032
persons who sailed from that port, and
the large number Of sailors who navi.
gated the 5,0jS ships which entered the
Mersey 1t is estimated that popula-
ton of fully 100000 souls were fed 10y
Ireland. The money paid for these cat
tie, it is argued, was merely taken to Ire
land, was counted there, looked at for
few days, and was then returned to
England, either in payment for English
manufactures or as rent, which passed
into the hands of absentee landlords,
who spend their incomes at places re-
mote from their estates.

HENRY SHAW, Josh Billings was
born at Lanesboro, Berkshire county,
Mass, where his father owned four or
five farms, of several hundred acres,
and was considered worth 100000 at
the time of his death. He was odd to
the last degree, and when he was mar
ried, drove with his intended to New
Lebanon, n. Y, where they were united
by Justice of the Peace for one dollar.
The esquire had ten children -four
sons and six daughters), of whom
Josh" the second, fully inherited his
fathers oddly The old gentleman re-
moved from Lanesboro to New York,
because of the too near location of an
iron furnace to his grounds. Josh" is
now about fifty years of age, tall, round
shouldered, and with an Undesirable
comic expression on his face, which he
always had. He is now supposed to be
worth about 100000.

Rascally Oppression OF Women in the
Patent Office.

The Patent Office has been in a high
state of excitement during the past
week, Occasioned by the discovery of
the operations of f. w. w. Griffin clerk
in charge Of the Draughtsman's Divi.
sion, who, ii appears, has been levying
blackmail on lady employees Of the
office for nearly two years. During the
administration of Col. Fisher, late Com
missioner of Patents, a large number of
ladies were employed for the purpose Of
recopying the drawings of those already
on file, when ordered by inventors
These ladies We're placed under charge

office so long a. their services were salts
factory. 1t has been proved that Griffin
hired the ladies at regular salaries OF
81 900 per annum, and the most Of them
he blackmailed to the amount of S4OO
per year each. 1t is estimated that he
has made 81 900 per month for the past
two years. The matter was brought to
the notice of Commissioner Duncan and
an investigation ordered, which resulted
in the dismissal Of Griffin. 1t is thought
that there are other cases of this kind,
and the Commissioner expresses de-
termination to ferret them all out, and
make a clean sweep of all parties in his
Department engagedin swindling opera
tons against the Government or against
individuals. The Patent Office has. for
a long time, been considered rich field
for operations of this kind and investi
cations have often been suggested. but
the suggestions passed unheeded by the
proper authorities. 1t is openly stated
that an investigation into the relations
existing between certain examiners Of
patents and patent agents would dis
close a more fearful state of blackmaA-
ing than exists in all the other Govern
ment departments combined.
