II The Fort Scott Monitor begs the Republican
papers not to denounce GREELEY and Brown as
Copperheads. 1t is an old maxim that men are
known by the company they keep. 1t is well
enough to remember who composed the bulk of
the crowd at Cincinnati, and who are widest
in their joy over the nomination of GREELEY and

REMISIsCENCE.-The way the papers are
pitching into the shrt-tail financier of Kansas,
SAM CRAWFORD, without regard to his present
vanity or former dignity, brings to mind the
scathing denunciation of a falling of our people,
by Capt. JIMMY CHRISTIAN, in our Territorial
days-and now come to think of it, CRAWFORD
inst about came mp to the classic standard laid
down by the eloquent CHRISTIAN.
The circumstances were these: 1t was while
HUGH s. WALSH, Secretary of the Territory, was
acting Governor In a public meeting held for
some purpose, WALSH had been denounced most
bitterly. This brought up CHRISTIAN to his de-
fence, who let off thus:
"Fellor-C Citizens: One of the greatest faults of
the American people, is their want of respect for
their rulers. The position, if not the man, is en-
titled to respect But We show regard for
President, Congressman, or Governor. And, frl-
low-citizens, while Mr.. WALSH is not Governor
de facto, he certainly is Governor in recfmm"

MEDICAL.
ALCOHOLIzED ARNICA,
Prepared by the RR. FF. Trappists,
Monastery Of NOtre Dame DIES
Neiges, Ardeche, France.

A RNICA, AS USUALLY SOLD IN THIS
N country, is manufactured from the dried
flowers, which, as may be imagined, must
have lost much Of their original strength
during the process of desicatiOn. The Trap
pist Fathers, having the facility Of preparing
their AlcohOlized Arnica on the spot where
the plant grows naturally, and at the moment
Of blOssoming when Il contains all its active
properties. are thereby enabled to offer n
remedy which surpasses anything Of its kind
that can be had in this country.
Wherever their Arnica has been tried il has
been held in great demand. IL may be we'll
TO state that besides the advantage resulting
from the use Of this remedy, the purchase Of
the same is great act Of charity, as thus an
assistance is afforded to the poor religious
who depend chiefly on this resource for subsist-
ence. The misfortunes which befell the princi-
pal cities of France are we'll known; the good
have suffered as we'll as the wicked; and tho
monks Of La frappe who subsisted chiefly on
aims, have been refused the bread Of charity
which We can procure for them.
The Rev. Francis D'Assise. one Of the Trap
pist Fathers Of NOtre Dame des Neiges. is
now In the city. and offers his remedy 10 the
citizens of Memphis. Being DESTROYS Of
having an agency through which the medica-
ment will be handed TO our citizens without
fear OF being adulterated, he has succeeded
in securing the Christian Brothers as agents
for the sale Of their Arnica.

This is an irritation or Inflammation
of the bronchial tubes, which carry the
air we breathe into the lungs. 1t arises
from cold settled in the throat, from
catarrh extending to these parts, from
scrofulous affections, and from severe
use of the voice. The irritation from
this latter cause commences in the larynx
and CLOTHS, which are the organs of the
voice, and extending downwards, pro-
duces hoarseness, coughing and splitting
mucous matter, sometimes mixed with
blood. 1t is chiefly dangerous from its
tendency to spread into the lungs, and
terminate in consumption. 1t is in the
cure of severe and obstinate cases ofthis
disease that DIR. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery has achieved unparalleled
success, and won the loudest praise from
all who have used it. 1t is sold by all
