OR CHTLLS md FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly
claims for it a superiority over all remedies
ever offered to the public for the safe certain spec
dy and permanent cure OF Ague and Fever, or
Cbils and Fever, whether of short or long stand
ing. He refers to the entire Western and sourh-
ern country to bear him testimony to the truth Of
the assertion that IN case whatever win it fail
to cure if the directions are strictly followed and
carried out. In great many cases a single dose
has been Sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle with perfect
restoration Of the general health. It IA, however
prudent and in every case more certain of cure If
it, use il continued IN smaller doses for week or
two after the disease has been checked more es-
peciallv in difficult and long standing cases. Csu-

A SINGULAR SUIT,

Some Of the disappointed inaugu-
ration visitors, who we're delayed
by the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
between Baltimore and Washington,
TO such an extent that they could
not witness the ceremonies, are
bringing suit against this road for
what is alleged to be culpable negli-
gence. The last suit entered is on
the part Of David Griggs, who wants
$4,000 from the company, claiming
that the train between Baltimore
and Washington was unnecessarily
delayed outside of the city; the To-
comotive was detached from the
train, the car was cold and uhcom-
Portable which contained himself
and wife, and was left long dis
tance from the depot. While there
band ofthieves entered the car,
and attacking, robbed them of 500 in
money and property to the amount
Of $4,000; that being of such an
advanced age he could not defend
himself, and had, in company with
his wife, to make his way on foot
through the cold and inclment wealth
er to Washington. 'HOi fi1'.' .n

RHODE ISLAND.


The obsolute quietness of the po-
litical canvass in Rhode Island, and
the ecertsinty Of Republican
triumph, caused that event to be less
noticed than its merits deserve.
The majority for Howard for Gov
ernor will be about six thousands
good sound majority, when we con-
slider the tameness of the canvass,
and the light vote. There have
been times when the election in that
State has been very strongly contes-
ted; now it is a clear case for the
Republican party IN quiet times.

IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.

The last monthly statement of the
statistics of commerce and nayiga-
tion shows that the imports for the
ten months ended October 81, 1872,
are in excess of the domestic and
and foreign exports combined, to
the amount Of $12S,27S,7S7; while
for the ten months ended October 81
1871, the imports exceeded the ex-
ports by only $46,743,952. Thus
the excess of imports over exports
was about two or three quarter
times greater in ten months of 1872
than in the same ten months of the
year preceding. The most unfor-
tunate fact, however, is that there
has been no diminution, but rather
relative increase in the excess OF
importations over exports since Oc.
tober last. When will this reckless
buying abroad have q check? ..a.

the VETO POWER,

Only three States besides Ohio
deny the veto power to their Cover
nors. In Delaware, North Carolin a,
Ohio and Rhode Island bills became
laws upon passage by both Houses.
In all the other States (32), bills
must be approved by the Governor
or returned with his objections to
the House where they originated.
They may then be reconsidered and
passed over the veto in nine States
by two-thirds Of each House, in
eight States by two-thirds present,
in four States by two thirds elected, !,
in two States by majority elected,
in two States by majority pres ent
and in one State by three-fifth elected
to each Honse. The returns must
be made within three days in nine of
the States, within five days in six
teen, and within six days and within
ten days in Congress in seven of the
States. .5 aEJ - l4afi l.f3is.. 80

THE LOST SHIP


The narrative ofCaptain Williams
at aii'athe + investigation ia into
the loss Of the Atlantic, shows
that the vessel was not only short OF
coal, but also Of provisions. While
heavy seas and rough head winds
might account for the coal running
out, it does not explain the short
ness Of food. 1t is clear. too, that
the officers of the vessel might have
prevented the catastropheiby being
more cautions on approaching shore.
The charge against the captain that
he neglected the passengers to, save
his own life, seems, however the re-
verse of true. .isuTa -~iiii fl.

FARMERS CONVENTION.

The Convention of Farmers in Ill
inois is noticeable affair. Seventy
counties of the State are represent
ed, and the proceedings are Of great
interest, including railroads and
their management, rivers and theil
improvements, Legislators and Their
vices, are discussed in the plainest
manner. 1t is a suspicion of troub-
lie to mercenary politicians who are
more interested in rascality than in
rendering honest service to the peo-
pie. Aireahy independent conven-
tion Of this kind is a good thing fol

"A FORTUNATE BLOW,

An engineer on the Detroit &Lan-
sing road, named Frank Dolan saw
ed a mans life Monday in a very
singular mannar. The train was
running at about twenty-five miles
an hour when Dolan caught sight
of man on the track about mile
ahead. He whistled and rang the
bell. The man paid no attention
to the sounds. and Dolan whistled
for brakes. They did not take well
and, although the engine was revers.
ed, it was plain that the pedestrian
would be run down iunless some
thing was done promptly. Dolan
ran forward over the engine and
down ON the cow-catcher! Dolan,
leaning forward, reached a foot be-
yond the cow-catcher, and as the
train came close upon the mans
heels struck him in the back with
both fists. The victim went over,
and was cut in the scalp by some
portion of the first trucks. He was
foundering in the ditch when the
train stopped, and when he had as
certained what the fuss was about
he squared Off and wanted to whip
somebody. He was so deafthat the
railroad employees had to scream in
his ears to make themselves heard,
and so mad that he would not let
then examine his wound or do any
thing for him. He was recognized
as a farmer living near Plymouth, but
would not even accept free ride
home.--DetrOit Free Press. agai

THE INDIANS.

With the opening of spring, we
have the usual reportsof prospective
Indian wars The Cheyennes, Ara
pahoes, Kiowas and such other
tribes as range along the Cinnamon
and Red rivers, are said to be res
tive and vicious. Should these tribes
go on the war-path, the peace views
so sedulously cultivated will be apt
to be laid aside for a time, and
Sheriden will quite likely try his
hand as a pacificatOr. ilab iif

TEMPERANCE CONVENTION.

The temperance people of Indiana
held State Convention at Indiana
polls on Wednesday, at which meas
ures were taken to secure the en-
forcement to the temperance law
lately passed by the State Legisla-
ture. The Convention heartily ap-
proved of the new law, which com
bines the features Of a stringent Ii
cense law, a local prohibition law
and a general law making liquor
sellers responsible in civil damages
for evils resulting from the traffic.
In reference to the local option of
licensing the liquor traffic where a
majority of the people so vote, the
temperance people say that they do
not regard it asian acknowledgment
OF any natural right to maintain such
a place of drinking resort, but rath-
era liberal concessian to the spirit
of our American institutions, which
demand the popular support in or
der to the enforcement of the law
This statement recognizes the fun
damental principle of all beneficial
temperance legislation-it must be
the work of the people; the free act
of the majority, and be sustained by
the public sentiment and the votes
of the citizens-or it can do no
good. The recognition of this fact
by the temperance reformers of In
diana is hopeful sign of progress
and we wish the organization form
ed by the convention the fullest sue
cess in restricting the liquor traffic,
putting it under bonds, and expos
ing it to costs for damages.

OFT TOLD TALES.

The Cleveland Leader says:
The loss ofthe steamship Atlantic
with SIG human lives, has revived
all the oft told tales of shipwreck,
and the statistical journalists are
overhauling the records of disaster
for comparisons with the dread Gala
nifty of Tuesday last. The loss of
the Atlantic was the greatest ship
wreck that has occurred within
half o century, Nothing since ISL
when the British frigates ST. George
and Defense went down with 1000
men on the stormy cost of Jutland.
has furnished such terrible list of
lost as the calamity which has so re-
Gently befallen the White Star Line.
In 1859 the Royal Charter was
wrecked on the Anglessea coast and
446 lives were lost, and the year
previous the Austria burned at sea
leaving death roll Of 461. The i'll
fated Arctic carried down 300 men,
woman and children, in 1866 the
Hungarian was lost on the New
foundland coast and 220 people
found watery graves, and barely two
months ago the emigrant ship
Northfeet was sunk by a collision
with Spanish steamer in the Eng
| IIish channal, and sunk with 325 souls
on board This last was the latest
really great marine calamity that
has befallen until this new horror
which comes to prove that, with all
that modern science has done to
perfect marine architecture, death as
| Of old claims his share of those who
go down to the sea in ships. The
White Star steamers are the embodi-
ment of a new idea in ship building.
They are of enormous length, with
scant breadth of beam. The Atlan-
tic was 420 feet long with a maxim
um breath Of but so feet. Thus con
structed the White Star steamers
have fulfilled the prime purpose for
which they have beaten the Cunard
and Lloyd steamships, and establish
ed their supremacy in point of speed
It is in the moment of trouble that
these long, narrow ships are weak.
Once aground and they are helpless
and liable to be wrenched and bro
ken by sea that shorter and more
firmly built Cunarder would live out
in safety. No steamships, however
can be safe unless properly coaled
and navigated by officers capable Of
running on clear starlit night in
to plain and easy harbor as that OF
Halifax.

fact that the total forign commerce Of
the Union in the. fiscal year 1873
was 81, ,212, 900, 600, of which amount
$704, ,000,0 formed the share of
that port. More than half the en-
tire foreign business, therefore, was
trasacted within the moderate limits
of the metropolis. In both the i'm

this traffic the same ascendancy is
marked. New York imported $41S,
