A Belated Parsen.

Western Pennsylvania has a clergy
man named Talbot On one occasion
he had come into church late, after a
long journey, and was spattered with
mud from head to foot. A huge pair
of raw-hide boots, size about fifteen,
covered with a coating Of "moistened
DUST" were painfully conspicuous. His
congregation was too good d-natured OF
too respectful TO look at his appearance,
end no remark was made until he stood
I'D at a small deal table, which was bare
of all covering, to preach his sermon.
The table was without cloth, and the
dirty raw hide boots were singularly
distinct objects when compared with the
neat surroundings OF the altar. Yet
not whisper was heard until the rev
erend gentleman announced his text
How beautiful are the feet OF those
who stand at the gates of Zion." Fol-
a moment there was only suppressed
utter; then, all at once, the whole con-
rregation burst into roar.

PUMP-Patented June 6. 1871.
Manufactured at Bridgeport, Ohio.
Please ReJneslher--TEe Fsest
is always the Cheapest.
We sre now prepared to fill orders, or put in
these pumps on short notice, and guarantee
entire satisfaction, and would call the atten-
ton OF the public to the following advanta-
ges claimed for it:
1st. Its economy In construction, combined
with durability, makes it, for ACTUAL SERVICE
the cheapest Pump in use.
I'd. As the stock is galvanized wrought iron
| il will neither crack from the effects Of the
sun nor decay Of rust.
| Sd. The great enemy OF the Pumps is frost,
which in single night often destroys and
splits the very best material ana renders use.
less in the hour of greatest need.
THIS PUMP CANNOT FREEZE,
because when the pump is not in use the
water falls to its level in the chamber, which
is always placed below the freezing point,
4th. Freshness Of q ater is always insured,
as the water comes directly from the bottom
of the well.
eth, Impure water from from dsoayed or
rotten pump stock is entirely obviated.
9th. In construction it is both simple and
durable. The handle is made of two wrought
| ron rods and so arranged that while it is
light, yet it has great strength. The oylin-
der in which all the work is performed is
iron. lined with copper, the copper lining pre-
vents rust and makes but little friction. This
iron chamber is not submerged, but placed in
the well above the water, and yet will work
as we'll under as above the water.
7th 1t can be used in a driven or bored well
with the same ease as well OF larger diameter.
Sth For its general adaptability this pump
is without rival. The Pump may be placed
at your dwelling or barn, or within the build
ing, and connected with the well, or spring or
other body of water, fifty or one hundred yards
distant, and will work with the same ease as
though standing directly over the water
9th 1t is single acting and pumps only with
the down stroke of the handle, and thus avoids
the heagy lift required in the double acting
Pump
10th. BY attaching short hose a stream may
! be thrown fifty to sixty feet and may be often
used to advantage in watering gardens and
lawns, washing windows, cleaning buggies, ex-
tinguishing fires, or elevating water. We re-
cognize the fact that it requires more power to
elevate water from deep than shallow we'll.
But as far as possible to obviate this difficulty
for deep wells, we manufacture smaller cham
Der, so that while the volume of water is dimin-
ished. the power required is not greatly increas-
ed. We claim that by the combination, having
all the advantages of atmospheric pressure in
combination with force, that the SINCLAIR
PUMP will elevate water from a deep we'll with
less power than any submcrge or purely force
| pump in existence. This Pump is easily adapt.
ed to supply water to steam mills, and for trans
forring the contents of vats in tanneries is uIi-
surpassed.
If you want a pump guaranteed TO give salts
tion, send your order TO SINCLAIR d HOLLIS

THIS NEW CORN PLANTER,
Just perfected by H. M Smith & CO., accom-
plishes what has always been a desderatum in
Corn Planters, namely: absolute certainty as to
the quantity of seed planted, and as to the dis
tance between the hills
All planters, depending upon a brush to keep
back the corn, are liable to variation, as any
press of the seed causes the brush to YIELD and
increases the quantity dropped
THE EUREKA HAS NO BRUSH.
A new and simple device supersedes the neces-
sity of 1t, and nsures ABSOLUTE REGU-
LARITY in the humber of grains deposited.
1T is THE BEST CORN PLANTER IN USE.
The following unsolicited praise, expresses the
opinion of all who have used 1t:

POLITICAL NOTES.

Connecticut papers have discovered
that the New Hampshire election has given
Grant lift and the Democratic party a
hoist.
The Boston Journal says: "The
nominee for President, to be selected by
the Cincinnati Convention, is known. That
is, we infer as much from the description
youehsafed by one of the sponsors of the
movement, viz: That he is man with
such a wonderful political equilibrium as
to be as good Democrat as he is Repub-
lican.'u
The Buffalo Express says: Mr..
Summers position, from the latest semi
official information concerning it, appears
to be this: He will not support Grant for
President under any circumstances he
will not support the Labor Reform nominal
tons, and he never will swing over to the
Democratic ticket. As John Randolph
once remarked to Congress: This is
clear, Mr.. Speaker; clear as the light of
that window-which is not very clear"
The Republicans claim to have made
the largest number of new voters in Con-
necticut for the election which takes place
to-day. In Hartford, of late years Demo-
cratic, the Republicans have five hundred
out of the eight hundred men qualified to
participate the first time in the ensuing
contest. New Haven, strongly Democrat
ic, turns out five hundred and three new
Republican voters to five hundred and two
opposition.
speaking of the Cincinnati Convention,
the New York Express says The Demo-
Gratis are warned to keep away, and we
trust will keep away. Let the convention
be in the hands of those who desire honest
men in office, and honest men for office"
1t will atflict the Democratic heart, we are
sure, to see such an innuendo against the
honesty of the Democratic leaders from the
pen of the able editor of the Express. His
colleagues in the House should immediate
ly call upon the Honorable James to rise
and explain.
Ex-Governor Henry S. Foote, of Ten.
nessee, has been writing another letter, de-
voting it to lamentation over the evil ways
into which the Democratic party has fallen,
"The party" he says, 'fearfully enfeebled
of late by the revelation of deep-seated
corruption in its own vitals, is yet strug.
Cling with something of its ancient energy
and valor to recover its former position in
the public esteem, but certainly without
the least possibility of being able to do SC
in time to take very controlling part in
the coming Presidential election" He ia.
vors the nomination of Mr.. Trumbull OIL
Judge Davis by the opposition.
The Cleveland Leader remarks: ST
seems very difficult to satisfy the Demo.
Gratis with anything Republicans could dc
in regard to the finances. They dom
like buying bonds, and they object to keep.
ing the gold they don't like contraction
though some of them insist on specie pay
ments ; they inveigh against national banks
and yet declare greenbacks unconstitu'
tional. In one portion or other of theii
motley party they include every shade o.
financial heresy, and the only thing they
are entirely agreed on is that their party
should have the handling of the money
They will persuade the people to adopI
almost any of their notions before this
one."

Loo Kour FOR POISON eAssEs.

Weprint to-day a communication from the
Milwaukee Sentinel, written by distin-
guished physician of large experience, to
which we earnestly invite the attention of
every rejecting person in the city and out
of it. The warm weather is coming, and
fearful diseases are raging in other parts of
the world, which are liable to visit us. Yet
there are many portions Of this city foul
and filthy, awaiting warm day to convert
them into sources Of disease and death.
Stables and privies standing on the street
emit disgusting and sickening odors.-
Streams Of dirty water run across the side
walks and along the cutters. Around the
markets there is a mixture of all horrid
smells. And worse than all, perhaps, is
the backiow of poison gases coming up
through every house connected with the
sewers. Every father and mother who
value the lives of their children, should
read this article and observe its cautions.
In the pig-sty, the privy, the stable, the
trickling stream of slop water, there is
death for some member Of eosyy family.
The great remedy as dry earth to mir aoah
every form Of aoaste solich then becomes not
only harmless but raludble manure. Will
not our Council think seriously of this
matter and take vigorous action to cleanse
the city?
