Probably'hevcr Before in the whole history Of
't1ediche, has any thing won go widely and SO
deeply upon the confidence of maIifiid, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.
Through long series OF years, and among most
of the races of men it has risen higher and higher
in their estmaton as II has become better known.
Its uniform character and power to cure the va
rious affections of TIE lungs and throdt, 'hnys
made II fnbwn rs q reliable protector against
them. While adapted to milder forms OF disease
and to young children it is at the same time the
most efectIal remedy that can be given for incip.
lent consumption, and the dangerous affections
of the throat and lungs. AS n proyisidn against
sudden attacks of Group, it Should be Kept Oh
hand in every family, and Indeed as all are some
times subject to colds aid coughs, all Should be
provided with this antidote for them. ,Lt;,
Although settled C'onSitDr1,fion is thought In

disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored TO sound health
by the Cherry PectordI. So complete rs its

When nothing else could reach tiem under the

a Sensible Resolve.

"Did you hear, sir, how it was that
Edwards, the mason, gave up the use
of liquor? ?" said a workingman to his
employer, one day, when he was talking
to him about the evils of intemperance.
"No, (said the latter) chow was ?"
swell, one day Edwards was drink
ing in a public house, when the land
lords wife came to call her husband to
dinner.
" What's for dinner ?'' said the man.
"Roast goose" replied his wife.
"Is there apple sauce ?" he asked.
"No."
"Weu, go and make some. I WON'T
eat goose without apple sauce"
Edwards was so impressed with the
scene he had witnessed, when the wo.
man left the room for the dolicaey, that
for the first time in his life, he began tC
to think what a fool he had been.
"Here's this man (said he to himself
can't eat his dinner of roast goose with
out apple sauce, while my poor wife anC
children are glad to get herring TO
their dinners and very often they cam
even have that. Whose money, I shOulC
like to know, goes to provide this fellow
with good things Mine, and that ofth
other fools like me. Well, what's don
can't be undone. It's of no use oryin
over split milk, but that fellow shall no
dine off roast goose again at my ex
4 pense."
So he paid his reckoning, and wake
out of that public house, never to ente
again."

Reduction Of Local Taxes
BY the Legislature of Ohio.
Important Information for
the Taxpayers.
Republican Retrenchment
and Reform.

The attention of taxpayers is di-
rected to the following laws passed
by the late Legislature of Ohio, re-
ducing the rates of taxation for local
purposes, by limiting the powers of
county, township and municipal Of
fcers in regard to Ievying taxes
The beneficial effects of this legisla-
ton will be felt throughout the State
during the coming year, in relieving
the people of portion Of the heavy
burdens of which they have justly
complained for several years past,
in the shape of excessive local taxa
ton.
Although the Republicans had
only a bare majority in the Legisla-
ture, including the Republican mem
bers from Hamilton county elected
on the "Reform" ticket, they sue
ceeded in ratifying the Fifteenth
Amendment, and hence the Democ-
racy generally denounced it as a
Republican body, and hold the Re
publican party responsible for all the
Legislation Of the past two years.
Whatever may be said of its leg
isIatiOn on other subjects, Republi-
cans can point with pride to its rati
fication of the Suffrage Amendment,
which made that just and righteous
measure the law of the land, and to
the laws which we print below, re-
duciRg the burdens of Local Ta1a-
ton. Let it be remembered that the
Republican Legislature Of Ohio did
what it could to relieve the people
from their burdens, as the National
Administration is also reducing the
National Debt as fast as it can safely
be done.

From the Delaware (O.) Gaztts. -.
Death of the Double Child
Statement from DR.. Besse.

Death Of the Double Child
Statement from DIR. Besse.
Eds. Delaware Gaztte: Knowing that
your numerous readers will be anxious
to hear something in regard to the Won
derful double child's death, I send you
the following hasty and imperfect state
ment.
Their death presented strange ap-
pearanee, and excited the curiosity and
pity of all present. They were nine
months and six days old, and died at
Temple House, No. c, Bowdoin street,
Boston, Mass, July Is, 1871. They
had always enjoyed excellent health
from their birth until July 4, when ton
exhibition in Newark, New Jersey,
Minnie showed symptoms of illness,
and had a severe attack of cholera in
fantum, and came near death, to all ap-
pearunce, and remained so for about
three days, when she commenced recov-
-sFIDg very rapidly. sickness SEEM
ed to affect Minnie but very little at the
time, but about the IIth inst. Minnie
was attacked with continual vomiting
which was very difficult to manage, and
this tendency of sickness at the stomach
continued more or less until about
o'clock in the morning of the 18th, when
she had several light convulsions, after
which she sank gradually until 4:35 in
the evening, when she breathed her last,
and the heart belonging to her stopped
beating. She was dead, to all appear
ance, without a struggle, and looked as
if sleeping pleasantly, in which condi-
ton she remained for one hour and for
ty-fve minutes, when she commenced
gasping for breath, and artificial means
was resorted to to restore respiration.
This gasping continued at short inter-
walls until 7:l5, when she gave the last
gasp.
After this Nina, who had been per-
fectly well to all appearance, until Min
ME stopped breathing, showed signs of
uneasiness and continued sinking very
rapidly ana died at SIS, just one hour
from the time that Minnie gave the last
gasp for breath. They both died very
easy, and Ioked as if going into pleas,
ant sleep and never gave a struggle
and now they are quiet and lovely to
look upon in death as they always were
in life. The two souls have passed from
the one body to the God that gave them
this truly wonderful and curious body.
They apparently escaped the ordinary
suffering incident to death, for the coun-
tenances had the expression of sweet re-
pose. Through the ifiuence of myself
and several of the leading physicians of
Boston we had fine plaster cast taken
of the child, which I can have duplicated
at any time for the benefit of science.
After this we had post 11orten exami-
nation which revealed many wonderful
curiosities, both in anatomy and phys
iology, a full account of which will be
shortly given in the Boston Medical &
Surgical Journal.
The exciting cause of their death was
cystic abdominal tumor, weighing three
pounds and six ounces. I may, at some
future time, give you more detailed
account of this wonderful beings life as
well as its DEATH.
Yours very respectfully

Select MISCELLANY.
GIVE Us BACK THE TAILS.

If we, as Mr.. Darwin says,
From monkeys are descended,
Old Time, in changing things, hath not
As yet To matter mended.
Descendants Of our ancestors
Have no such times as they,
Who had no reRt Of house or tax
Of government to pay.
No tailor bills came in
Dame Nasure clothing gave
And freaks of fashion did not make
Of monkey-girl slave.
So the olden ways the happiest way;
The new condition fails;
And, Darwin, if you can, my boy,
Just give US back the tails.
No hurrying out Of bed had they,
10 bOlting breakfast down, al.-a a-
No basty walk to shop in fear
Of some old boss's frOwn.
The lady-monkey sat not up
Till day the night did rout,
In waiting for the lodge to close
And let her husband out.
They had no votes, tits true, but they'd
No officers to keep,
And o'er defaulter's cash account
They never had to weep.
So the olden ways the happiest way;
The new condition fails;
And, Darwin, if you can, my hoy,
Just give Us back the tails.
They had no fashions promenade,
Where beauty's feet could stray;
But then the old boss-moHkey had
No milliner TO nay.
They had no wine, the monkeys young,
Through night to keep a-stormingi
They saved thereby (you know yourselD
A headache in the morning
A peaceful race were they, who ne'er
To wars appeal did fly;
They saved thereby occasion for
A Joint Commission High.
A smarter race we're they than that
Which from them hath descended,
And Time, by changing things, hath not
As yet the matter mended.
For the olden ways the happisst way;
The new condition fails;
So, Darwin, if you can, my boy,
Please give us back the tails.
