Are you suffering from costiveuess or in
need of an efficient purgative? Edward Will
der's Family Pills are vegetable tonic and
invigorant of uncommon excellence. For
constipation and biliousness they are certain
remedy. By their action they both revive and
refresh the overloaded system. Nor is this
all. There is nothing in their composition
which is not vegetable. They are potent for
good among the strong and robust. They are
the one aperient or laxative needed by the del
icate and weakly. The liver, the great secre-
tive gland of the body, determines both the
purity of the blood and the condition of the
bowels. These pills contain herbs, gums,
roots, and barks, every one of which is cele-
brated as an ambitious remedy, and which, if
there be single ascertained fact in medicine,
constitute the most genial and perfectly salts
factory purgative yet discovered. They do
nor rasp or injure. They clean out the de-
PRAYED and Initiated secretiens of the alimen-
tary canal. They stimulate and persuade the
liver They tone the stomach, and through il
the brain and nerves. They do not irritate-
they restore. In all the Phlegmasia, Rheum-
atism, Erysipelas, Vertigo, Dizziness, Infam-
nation of the Brain, Liver, Kidneys, and
Bladder, and in every other affection in which
purgative is desirable, these pills are beyond
all peradventure a true panacea. Hence use
none other, as they can do you no harm, and
their effects are invariably beneficial.

REMEDY FOR HARD TIMES.

Speaking of the depression of bust
ness of all kinds, and the complaints
thereof which proceed from all quar-
tiers, the Providence Star believes there
is remedy for the sluggish state of
things which almost everybody has a
chance, in greater or less degree, to
apply. at costs too much" it says, ITO
do business. Everything is on too ex-
pensive scale. We are on the froth
of shoddy, instead of on the hard pan
of real life. During the war everything
became Fictitious, prices augmented
rapidly, and money was coined SO freely
by everybody that no one cared what
he might have to pay. AS time has
rolled on business has fallen into mar
rover channels, and there is none of
this piling up of money and profits we
have alluded to. But people will not
recognize this fact, but hold on to the
high prices. None but the very rich
can stand the pressure; others feel the
effects of the change, yet hesitate to take
the step to extricate themselves.
There must be fall in prices; rents
are enormous, and where two or three
thousand dollars are a rental, it must
take heavy business at good profits to
meet it and pay other expenses and live.
Extravaganza rules the hour, and we
rear our people are EpnralnS Jolneu 10
their idols, and will hug them until a
grand crash shall come and sweep away
the artificial and meretricious state of
things now existing. We may talk of
specie payments as panacea-it is only
talk. II paper and specie were at a
level, things would be no better. The
trouble is deeper than paper money. 1t
comes from attempting to keep up the
prices, habits and customs of war times.
When this fact is seen and men are will
ling to accept the inevitable shrinkage
of values necessary for stated business,
hard times will disappear, and twelve
month will see reOrganized and recu-
perated industry"

Have you for years been suffering with Ague
and Fever or Chills and Fever, which so rack
the system? If so, go at once and get bottle
of Edward Wilder's Chill Tonic, as it is boldly
asserted that, in It's line, and for the diseases
fer which it is recommended, there is no med
icine known that will at all compare with it.
1t is certain, speedy, permanent cure
for every disease arising from miasma or ma
laria. No form of Intermittent or Remittent
Fever can resist it. Quotidian, Tertian, Ruar-
tian, and Twenty-one day Chills are obliged
to yield to it. 1t is the conqueror of every spe-
cies Of Marsh or Swamp Fever. 1t is the COM
plete master of Brow Ague, Periodical Head
ache, Intermittent Neuralgia, Splenalgia or
Pain in the Side, and of every variety and
modification of Intermittent and Bilious
Fever.
Nor does this medicine resemble any other
of the thousand compounds advertised for
these affections. 1t is the pure distillatiOn
from the most costly varieties of Cinchona
bark, and is in itself pharmaceutical triumph,
a therapentical wonder. 1t at once checks the
Chills and restores the blood to its proper con-
sistency, thereby eradicating all traces of this
the most baneful disease from the system.
Wherever these diseases exist this medicine
should always be kept in every household, as
a cure is always guaranteed.

HUMORS OF THE sCAFFOLD.

An Irishman had been convicted of q
robbery at the Old Bailey sessions, for
which he was brought up, with others,
to receive judgement of death. The
prisoner, on being called on by the Off
Ger of the court in the usual way to de-
clare what he had to say why sentence
of death should not be passed upon him,
advanced to the front of the dock, with
a vacant stare, and inquired:
"What was the question ?"
"You have been convicted of robbery.
What have you to say why sentence of
death should not be passed upon you
according to law ?"
"Faith," answered the prisoner, 81
have nothing much to say, except that l
do not think l am safe in your hands"
The court laughed; sentence was
passed, and the prisoner was about to
ed him back and demanded to know his
age.
SIS it my age ye name :"
"What is your age z"
81 believe am pretty well as ould as
ever I'll be-"
Again the whole court was "conVul-
sed with laughter" but the wretched
man, whose mirth- owing powers were
quite inYo luntary, was doomed even at
the scaffold to ''set the people in roar"
In the press-room his irons were remov-
ed, and his arms confined with cords.
This being done, he seated himself, and
in spite of the calls of Jack Ketch and of
the sheriffs to accompany them in the
procession to the scaffold, he remained
sullenly on the bench where he had tax
en- up his position.
"Come," at last urged the hangman,
''the time is arrived"
But the Irishman would not move.
"The officers are waiting for you,"
said the Sheriff. "'Can anything be
done for you before you quit this
world?"
No answer was returned. Jack Ketch
grew surly.
eff you won't go, 1 must carry you,"
he said.
"Then you may" said the prisoner,
''for I'll not walk"
"Why not ?" inquired the Sheriff.
"I'll not be instrumental to my own
DEATH" answered the prisoner.
"What do you mean ?" asked the or
binary.
EEWhat do mean ?" retorted the hap
less man; 81 name that I'll not walk to
my own tfestfaction.H 4 -
And in this determination he persist
ed, and was carried to the scaiioad,
where he was turned off, refusing to do
which might be construed in
to ''his being party to his own death. !"

By process recently discovered, have been
able to obtain from the bark of the Wild Cher
ry (techically the Prunus Virginiani) an
extract which has been pronounced by the
Pharmaceutical Society of London and Berlin
to possess more of the virtues of this invalua-
bic tree than any other ever presented to
them. One single teaspoonful of Edward Will
der's Compound Extract of Wild Cherry con-
tains more of the active principle of the Wild
Cherry than any other preparation contains in
a wine-glass full. To this extract is added
other ingredients derived from the vegetable
kingdom, which give an efficiency, activity,
and power to this remedy which justly entitle
it to be called the Destroyer of Coughs, Colds,
Catarrhs, Larangitis, Asthma, Influenza, and
Group. Not one of these affections can with
stand it. They yield instantly to its magic
power. Besides these diseases, it is invaluable
in Pneumonia and Pleurisy. In Bronchitis,
acute and chronic, it is unfailing, and in the
cough of Consumption it affords reliefwhich
no other remedy is capable of doing. In its
composition summed up all the ingredients
necessary to effect permanent cure, which In!
every case is warranted if used according to
directions.

There is no such medicine for the diseases
for which it is recommended as Edward Will
der's Stomach Bitters. 1t is positively assert
ed that they are altogether unequaled. They
are absolutely infallible, if used according to
directions, in Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Inter
mittent Fever, Liver Complaint, Collie, and
Flux. They are tonic. They are eminently
an Alternative. They are superior to all other
medicines as an appetizer. They invigorate
the enfeebled stomach, and revive the over
wrought system. They add new power to the
weakened heart, and sustain the overworked
brain. Besides being superior to, they are
unlike, all other Bitters, in having for their
base pure copper-distilled Bourbon whisky.
This fact alone has given them a character IN
the city where they are made, and must COM
mend them to the lovers of the good and the
genuine everywhere. To the anxious mother
weighed down with family cares, to the mer-
chant exhausted by the harass of business, to
the dyspeptic, to him who suffers from consti-
patton, to the victim of fluX collie or debility,
these Bitters offer speedy and never falling
relief. Try them. If you take them once, you
will never after be without them in your
house.

G ETTING MARRIED UNDER Diff
CULTIES.

The Galena Gazette has good story
of young couple who got married
lately under difficulties sufficient to ap-
pail ordinary mortals. Mr.. Albert
Blake, in the employ of John Mack, on
the Wishon place, in the town of Eliza
beth, was to be married to Miss Jane
Low of the same town. Last Wednes-
day was the appointed time, and the
Rev. j oseph drummer, of Scales Mound,
was to officiate. On the day in ques-
ton the couple started in a buggy for
Scales Mound. Not being acquainted
with the road they took the wrong
route, which brought them to Council
Hill Station. When they arrived at the
station, the freight train which was just
starting out frightened the horse, and
he whirled suddenly around throwing
the young couple out. They landed to-
gether in ditch with the buggy on top
of them. The horse then started up,
dragging the buggy over them and
kicking it into splinters. Some parties
who stood near by caught the horse
and secured him, while others picked
up the unfortunate couple, and found
them in sadly demoraiized condition.
Mr.. Blake's face was little SCARED,
and cash cut in his lip. One of Miss
Lows wrists was sprained, and a leg
eSS OACACA oOOfC TIC A4CC. o1e WAS
taken to James Hotel, and DIR. Ed.
Kittoe, of Galena, was immediately
summoned, who pronounced the young
lady's injuries quite severe, and advised
her to make for home. But the couple
had started out to be married, and be
married they would. Nothing less
than broken necks would deter them.
Accordingly, VIM. Passmore, ESQ.,, was
sent for and the knot was tied, the
would-be bride lying on the bed and
the expectant bridegroom standing at
the bedside. Thus they were bro
nounced man and wife, and the young
husband bore his wounded treasure to
her future home Those who witness
ed all the incidents of the affair. ex-
pressed the most profound admiration
for the lady's fortitude While evil
IDENTIFY suffering intense pain from her
injuries, with smile upon her face, she
spoke of the novelty of the affair. and
remarked that she would be well in q
few days. Here Is q treasure worth Sc
curing, even though st q greater cost
than tipping over and being bruised.

From the Lawrence Tribune we learn
that the city council committee who in
vestigated the records of the Police
court, found things decidedly mixed.
After several days examination they
reported defalcation on the part of
George A. Banks, Police Judge, of
$4,000. This amount was met by Mr.
Banks check, which accompanied by
his resignation, was sent to the mayor.
The council refused to accept the resig-
nation of the Judge, and declared the
Office vacant, and also instructed the
city attorney to Institute criminal
prosecution against Mr.. Banks for en-
bezzlement of the city funds.
This matter has reused great excite
ment in Lawrence for several days, as
Banks has always borne the character
of man of the strictest integrity.
