Mercury or Calomel

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 suffering with the rheumatic p -ins In
the joints, caused By the use of Calomel which
has created q disease of its own worse than that
which it was intended to cure. There 10 no
drug that leaves its mark more prominent in
the system. Yet, perhaps, there are times when
it can be given, and have a benifeial effect, but
should not be dealt out as IL has been, and 10 at
the present time, by those that pretend to know
what they are doing, but in reality do nos. The
Liver is more liable TO disease than any other
organ in the human system, snd when that fails
to do its duty 1t leaves the weak points Of the
body exposed, as the bile is not thrown of, but
taken up by the blood, as it passes through this
great filter of the system, and becomes impure.
Then follows a train of diseases, whose name is
Legion. There are many that suffer from pain
in the side and across the body, dull, heavy,
drowsy feeling, headache, pain in the right side,
often pain in the bowels, costiveLsss, fat
ulence diarr hea, less ndigestion, lOts OF
appetite, sallow skin, white Of the eyes yellow,
sinking of fe'h, depression of spirits, at other
times a great craving for food. Some of these
symptoms are caused only by torpidit5 Of the
Liver. Il is Impossible to give all the symptoms
Of dersnged Liver, and they ere all curesble
without the aid of Calomel.

An Own Uncle of the President--Why He
is Not in Office.

Mr.. l.. A. Welsh, Of the GAINESVILLE
(Mo) Sentinel, writing from Mayslick,
Mason County, Ky, to his paper makes
public the following discovery:
One mile to the south of Mayslick stands
the humble and almost crumbling cottage
of Roswell Grant, an own uncle of the
President, and perhaps the only one of a
wide family connection who is not stored
away in some corner OF the public crib.
The affair is a small one and a halfstory
log-frame house, dingy and dilapidated
Attached to it are several acres of land,
from which ''Old Roswell digs precari-
Gus livelihood He is poor and habitual,
and confirmed intemperance has almost
untitled him for labor. His hair is con-
siderably gray: likewise his beard which
is also tolerably heavy. A large frame,
with dropping shoulders a broad face,
with very small and ugly eyes, and very
red nose wishful, longing look, and you
have a personal description of Roswell
Grant The old gentleman is usually very
good-natured, and consumes all the Bour-
bon that his friends will give him or that
he can afford to buy with his beggarly
means. We well remember how punctu-
ally the old man visited Mayslick every
day for fall three months after the inaug-
uration Of Gen. Grant, to watch the daily
mails for Il commission as consul to Cuba,
which he was destined never to see. Hay
ing been disappointed in his Cuban pros
poets Roswell filed his application fol
the United States collectorship for the dis
trict, and this, too, was refused him, for a
reason never made public, but really be-
cause Jesse r., the Presidents father, did
not like Roswell, who is Democrat. and
would not vote for Gen. Grant. The
PRESIDENT made his uncle visit in 1868
Just after his nomination, but stayed only
an hour and half.

Attending Auctions.

There is more fun run against by at
tending auctions than most people are
aware of. A writer thus sketches a scene
that he participated in few days since
The articles offered, he says, were "dam-
aged goods, an article that womer
dote on as they do on curly-headed babies
The first articles put up were a pair O.
blankets, for which more than a dozen
bids were Immediately offered. The puz-
zled auctioneer, however. caught up the
highest, which was dollar, from a fe.
male who seemed determined to have
them at any price, when ere he could say

fifty" from the opposite side of the room
''Two dollars ~ echoed the woman, ell
bowling her way through the dense mass
of females, who were separated from the
males by long counter upon which the
glib-tongued functionary walked to and
fro with the goods.
Turning to the other side, he commenc-
ed anew his stereotyped vocabulary OF
choice and amusing Figures of speech, >
till he touched upon the finale.
"Two fifty" nodded the man.
"Thank ye, sir; going at two fifty"
"Three!'' screamed the woman.
-Four" replied the man.
''Gin the fifty" said the auctioneer,
turning to the woman, with half sup
pressed smile on his small, sober visage
A nod from the woman.
''Four fifty, I'm offered; gin me five
Come, don't be afraid; they're worth
double the money"
Eyes, and that's ALL
"Sold !" cried the dealer in hammers,
almost bursting with laughter, "to Capt.
Smith mot John) for five dollars"

catch glance at him. "Why, you good

The Wild Canadian Goose,
From the Philadelphia Sun.


On Thursday afternoon last, between
four and five O'Clock, says the German
town Telegraph, the unusual spectacle of
a flock of wild geese was observed flying
over the lower portion of Germantown.
They were twenty-five in number and
were steering south, at an elevation of
one hundred feet, thus being within easy
gun shot. An old gander led his compan-
ions along the dangerous course, and as
he passed overhead piped his well known
houk, houk, as if to inquire if all was we'll
1t was astonishing, considering how la
borious and heavy the flight of the wild
goose is, that in its semi annual migra-
tons it can successfully pass over SO many
thousand of miles.
The vernal flight of the wild goose lasts
from the middle Of April to the middle OF
May. At that season it visits its breeding
place which is located in the extreme
northern portions Of our globe. 1t has
often been seen in immense tlocks within
the Arctic-circle, and was even then pur-
suing its way further North. When its
mission is fulfilled, and the short Arctic
summer is ended, this vast multitude OF
winged pilgrims, with their progeny,
commence their perilQus flight South.
As soon as they reach the inhabited por-
tions of the earth, in the early part of the
month of September, the slaughter COM
mences, and their number rapidly d.
minishes.
The carnage begins at the English trad
ing posts on the shores of Hudson Bay,
The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1871-11-16

where, in seasons when geese are numer-
Gus, many thousands are shot. These
people obtain an abundance of birds by
constructing small huts, about quarter
of mile apart, across extensive marshes :;
each shelter is occupied by a man who
initiates the cackle of the bird as it passes
over, and thus often induces flock to
wheel around and approach within few
yards Of the concealed sportsman, who
often succeeds in bagging two or three
geese at one shot. Between two and
three hundred geese are thus sometimes
killed in day by a single person.
After being so frequently fired at and
so many killed, over space of many
hundred miles, before reaching the United
States, it is not surprising that this bird IS
few in numbers when it arrives among US.
Considerable numbers are, however, still
killed off Brigantine and Long Beach.
New Jersey. and at the head waters OF
the Chesapeake. We have seen strag-
Cling geese in the latter location as late
as June, but these were probably birds
that were wounded during the winter and
were unable to Join their companions in
their northward flight. 1t arrives on the
coast of New Jersey in the month OF
October.
If it appears early in the month in large
numbers it is said to be an unfailing sign
of the approach OF a severe winter.
Those which remain on the Jersey coast
during the winter frequent the shallow
bays and marshes their principal food
being the tender leaves of a marine plant
known at the sea-cabbage, and the roots
of the sedge. If the winter is severe,
and the shallow bays and marshes are
covered with ice, it frequents the inlets
and eats fish and any other marine
products that will sustain life, The goose
is good swimmer, and when wounded
can remain under water a considerable
time, thus giving the sportsman much
trouble in securing it.
