YEAS AND NEIGHs.-If horses could make
themselves understood in human language,
they would signify by a universal ''Yea," their
assent to the statement that the MUSTANG
LINIMENT is the best remedy extant for all
these external ailments, and by most emphat-
ic ''Neigh! show their displeasure at every at
tempt to use any other preparation in its stead.
Ever since the introduction at st. Louis, at the
close of the Mexican war, in 1S49, it has proved
signal blessing to horse and man-curing,
with absolute certainty and wonderful des-
patch, such equine diseases as SPAWN, ringbone,
poll evil, scratches, hoof-ail, &c, and relieving
and finally removing the painful affections
which attack the muscles sinews and external
glands of human beings. 1t is fact beyond
contradiction that for all injuries or complaints
of man or quadrupeds to which an external
remedy is applicable, the MUSTANG LINIMENT
is preferable to every other.

LONDON, Feb. 14.-Lord Chief Justice Cock
burn, British member of the Geneva board, APP
proves the governments refusal to admit the
claims for indirect damages.
VIM. Fowler, member of Parliament for
Cambridge in addressing his constituents last
night dwelt at some length on the Alabama
claims. In abiding to the claim of the United
States for indirect damages he said that Eng
land shonld not buster nor should she submit
to be bullied. He believed that the country to
man had made up its mind if its American
cousins wanted the money they would have to
come and take it.
The Times considers the situation to-day
more satisfactory. 1t denies that the quarrel
sprung up because Gladstone feared the effect
of the intrgues of Disraeli and Dixie for moth
ing could be more unpopular in England. The
Telegraph does not credit the report that the
reply to Lord Granvilles note has arrived from
Washington. 1t thinks the American cabinet
will wait till the text of the note is received by
mail before making formal answer.

THE Boston AND MAINE RAILROAD BRIDGE
On Tuesday the Harbor Commissioners gave
a hearing ON the petition of the Boston and
Maine railroad company for permission to drive
piles in Fore river ON the line of the location
of its road and the result was that the prayer
was granted with the restriction that the bridge
should not be constructed so as to impede navi-
CATION or interfere with the natural ebb and
flow of the tide into the basin above. The pro-
posed bridge will cross the Rolling Mills diago-
nally near the draw of the latter and enter the
Rolling Mills ground about 500 feet north of
the end of the Company's bridge. There will
be solid fill at each end, leaving the opening
for the tidal way about 1900 feet wide. On
the eastery end about 500 feet of fill will be re-
guired to give room for fY's to connect with the

eighty, resolved to give him surprise masquer-

at Biddeford that evening and should not re-
turn until late in the evening. In due time the
masqueraders made their appearance and We're
politely and kindly received by Mrs. Parker,
who apolgised for the absence of her husband,
and wished he were present to enjoy the festiv-
titles of the occasion. "High jinks" reigned
supreme with the crowd and none seemed to
enjoy it better than the ''Fat Boy" who turned
out to be no less parsonage than Parker him
SELF though his wife did not know it that night,
as at a proper hour he retired and some one else
adopted his disguise, while he rang the door
bell and announced himself as just arrived from
Biddeford. The fun and frolic were kept up to

of the visitors who did not secure a mask had
his countenance deliberately ornamented by one

THE age of railroads and the telegraph gave
rise to fast living, and increases the desire for
making rapid fortunes, some wishing to out
strip, and others to be at least equal to their
neighbors. In order to keep up with this
eager and unequal contest, the brain is taxed to
its upmost power. while humanity is rendered
an easy prey to disease. The Heart, Liver,
Stomach, Lungs, or. nervous system becomes
afflicted, and sickness, in the form of Heart Dis
ease, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Bronchitis, Con-
sumption, Paralysis or Mania, is the result.
The use of FELLOWS COMPOUND SYRUP OF
HYpoPHoPHITEs will enable the mind to sus-
tain greater strain unfettered by conflicting
thoughts and unwearied by continued study.

fore seemed difficult of solution, becomes COM
