FUNNY A bout nine men out of ev-
cry ten (outside Of the profession) kno1g
that they can edit a paper" easiest
thing in the world for man without
brains, sir; nothing to do but to write
certain amount daily; all you have
to do is to keep your head clear If
some of these gentlemen could be put
forcibly in possession of newspaper
and made to edit it for year or two,
they would have their eyes opened most
wonderfully wide. They would learn
that to sit at the desk quietly and write
pretty editorials, bears about the same
proportion to the whole duty as bolt in
a singletree of carriage does to the
entire vehicle. They learn that work
never ceases in printing office, that
constant watchfulness and care alone
can bring success; that steady drain
on the brain of the editor is the rule
and that in addition the head of the es.
Enlistment has to bear philosophically
more grumbling, abuse. and advice, for
less pay, than any other professional
man would dream Of. In short, they
would find that an editor is hard
worked man, much abused man, and
in most cases a mighty poorly paid one.

IMPORTANT DECISION The Supreme
Court of this State has made decision
of considerable importance. 1t holds
that the Town Treasurer shall first pay
to the County Treasurer the State tax
next, he shall set apart and retain and
pay out according to law, all local tax
es including the town tax; and lastly,
shall pay over to the County Treasur-

the funds in his hands, if any. Under
this decision the several towns are al.
lowed to retain the town tax and all To-

4 GERMAN thaler is silver coin
equivalent in our money to seventy
three cents. The money indemnity re-
CURED of France by Germany is. then,
1923, 600, 900. according to the Versail,
lies dispatch to the London Standard.
Another dispatch says that Bismarck
demands 5000, 100000 francs, or ST.
l49, 900, 900, deducting therefrom all
the contributions levied. Still third
report is that the Germans demand q
coo, 100000 thalers, and the French are
willing to give only half that. From
these conflicting rumors, it would seem
that the terms Of peace have not been
agreed upon yet. The only apparent.
ly fixed thing is that Alsace and Lor-
raine are to be restored to Germany.
Further than that, all is vague con-
lecture. - Chicago Journal, Feb. %.

The Death Of Standing Buffalo.

j. \. Wall, Superintendent of In
dams for Montana, transmits to the
Indian Bureau copy of letter of
Special Agent Simmons, giving par
ticulars of the death of Standing
Buffalo, chief of the band of Santee
Sioux on Milk river. He went to
war counting death because he was re-
solved to maintain peace with the
whites and abide faithfully by the
terms he had made with the Agent
He was unable to control the Santees
and some of his own warriors, and tc
prevent them violating the compact.
The Sioux Indians will not leave
the Milk river country. They prefer
it not only on account of its game
but also OH account of its being SO re
mote from white settlement. The,
express their sincere desire to remain
at peace, and to be fed and treated
the same as others well disposed ar
treated.

Wanted u Wife.

The Holly Register says: VIM.
Armstrong, of Waterford, was taken
with the rheumatism over two years
ago, and left his wife and child, girl
of twelve years, at his h. m, in Water
ford, in middling good circumstances,
while he visited England. He left
this country November LIST, 1870, and,
after visiting his relatives and friends
and water cure establishments in Eng
land, returned to Waterford July 20,
1871, much improved in health from
his trip across the ocean. On arriving
at his home in Waterford he was not
long in learning that his dear con-
sort had "gone off" and married an
other man, which proves to be Mr.. p.
Elwood, of Holly, who keeps a fine
restaurant on Saginaw street. On
Mr.. Armstrong; visit here on Satur-
day, he was kindly introduced to Mr.
Eiwood, by Policeman Howell. They
looked at each other a moment in ut
ter establishment, and were then lief
to peruse the serious matter all t.
themselves. All manner of strang'
stories were circulated, one of whicl
was "that Armstrong was going t,
shoot both Elwood and his wife," Blu
such was not the case, as Mr.. Arm
strong took the matter very coolly.-
Mr.. A. will take care of his daughter
and let his wife go to Mr.. p. Elwoot
who has been married to her owe
three months. Mr.. Armstrong star,
ed for Waterford on the morning trair
on Monday last, to settle up isaiah

Another Explosion.

At 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon,
while a dummy engine drawing sever
al cars, in which were over two hun
dred persons, was on its way from
East New York to Canarsie, and near
the latter place, pipe or PARTON of
the boiler gave way, and the steam
and hot water flooded the cars, blind
ing and scolding many of the passen-
gers. The dummy was stopped as
soon as possible, and the terrified &C.
cupants of the cars took shelter in a
neighboring wood, expecting every
moment to see the train blow to pieces.
The employees on the cars exerted
themselves in putting the fire out and
procuring another engine. The en-
gineer, it is said, was severely burned,
and the engine was pronounced unsafe
and sent to a repair shop.-NeO York

New ORLEANS. Aug. 3.-The reso-
luton calling the State Republican
Convention not designating the place
of assembling the State Central Com
mittee met last night for the purpose
of making a selection. The commit
tee, after much wrangling, passed reso-
buttons directing the President to pro-
cure a suitable place of meeting and
give notice of the same through the
Republican Tuesday morning.
The city journals assert that few
weeks since, the expenses of the City
Hall were $4,000, but were increased
last week to $4,000. The Republican
this morning suggested that the adj
ministration of improvements employ
fire hundred or one thousand men for
week or two to strengthen the levees,
as this is the season when gales come
upon us. Other city journals call this a
prctext to reinforce the. Warmouthites.
The Times this morning cditorially
says: "The war between the War
mouthites and the Dunnites progresses
in this city with ferocity and vim
dictiveness never before equaled by a
party or faction in a contest in this
State. The whole Radical party, in
Guiding many office-holders of the Fed
eral, State and city governments, are
absorbed in this combat. Public bust
ness and interests are utterly ignored
and the public money ruthlessly squan-
dered TO promote the fortunes of the
one or the other faction. Every spe-
cies of fraud, deceit, violence and
trickery is employed to the same end,
The police are relieved from the duty
for which they are hired, and ordered
to spread themselves over the city tC
break up the clubs of the adverse fac
tion and control all the primary meet
ings. The general order is to beat thu
custom house party by whatever mean
may be necessary"

and three hundred head of stock and
horses run off. Two companies of cav
airy under Capt. Ball and Capt. Nor

citizens, started in pursuit Great ex-
element prevails. Citizens in all
parts of the valley were arriving and
concentrating at Hamilton, where
barbados were thrown up. The In
dams are supposed to belong to band
of Sioux under Sitting Bull, the mali
body of which are camped between
the Yellowstone and Powder Rivers
They are not treaty Indians, being OIL
no reservations, and war indiscrimin
ately on the tribes and whites. The,

not work under Mr.. Reese, whose dis
charge they demand. In the mean
time they telegraphed to the Trades
Unions in other cities, of the stoppage,
and to prevent the procuring of other
workmen. On the other hand, Mr..
Reese states that he has had no notice
of grievance from the workmen, and
that the mills have been stopped in
consequence of the short supply of
iron; also that some repairs were nee
essary. When these are completed,
and a supply of iron obtained, all the
men will be put in again, except six

fulness to their duties.

Hydrate Of Choral.

THERE is great danger that this drug.
which was introduced less than two wears
ago as substitute for preparations of
opium in allaying nervous irritation, will
prove to be greater harm than the drug
it was intended to displace. 1t has already
come into extensive use as family remedy
"a something handy to have in the house
and hundreds of families now use it
with more or less regularity. In England
the evil is far more widely spread than in
the United States. A competent medical
authority in London estimates the total
sales of the drug in that country at fifty
tons-a sufficient quantity to make thirty
six millions of ordinary doses.
TIE danger of continued use of hy-
drate of chloral will be understood when it
is known that it acts as a permanent de-
pressor of the vital forces. Hence, how
ever useful it may be when administered
under competent medical direction to
allay temporary nervous excitement, the
result of its repeated use can only be to
check the processes of life, interfering
seriously with the healthy functions of
the body, and bringing about genuine
nervous tremor, which is the result of
weakness artiticially induced. 1t is espe-
ciallv dangerous, too, as unlike opium, its
continued use does not allow the system
to take larger doses with comparative i'm
pun1ty. On the contrary, the same dose,
after the end of one month, will work far
more injury to.the nervous system than at
first, though its use may seem to give tenn
porary relief in each case.
If any of our readers have contracted
the habit CT using the drug, they have the
best of medical authority for discon-
tinuing it without delay, except as it is
taken under the advice of an attending
physician. Equally insidious with opium
in any of its forms, and far worse than al.
cohol in its effects, chloral should be avoid.
ed as an arch enemy, unless where its use
is indicated in the cure of specific disease
on diagnosis made by skillful medical

Means Wha He Says.

Though I" combinations strong as proofs of
Holy Writ" and as numerous as the sands on
the sea shore, were produced to prove that
DIR. Pierce, the proprietor of DIR. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy is in earnest and means what
he says, when ne offers $500 reward for any
case of Catarrh which he cannot cure, yet
there would be some skeptics and fogies who
would continue to shout Humbug :" "HUM-
BUG !" at cannot be, because DR.. Home
spun says Catarrh cannot be cured" Now,
this DIR. Homespun is the identical, good-na-
tured old fellow who honestly believes and
persists in declaring that this earth is not
round or spherical, but nat as slap-ja ;"
and does not turn over, otherwise the water
would all be spilled out of Deacon Bascom's
mill-pond. But astronomical science has pos
itively demonstrated and proven that DR..
Homespun is wrong in supposing this earth
to be fat and stationary, and medical science
is daily proving the fact that he is no less
mistaken and behind the times in regard to
the durability of Catarrh. In short, it has
been positively proven that this world moUes
and that medical science is progressive, the
opinion ofDr. Homespun to the contrary not
withstanding. That DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy will cure Catarrh, thousands who have
used it attest.
Then buy it, and use it, in doubt do not stand,
You will find it in drug stores all over the land.
