Our people have been made acquainted
with the superiority of Aliens Lung Bal
sam and Perry Davis Pain Killer over all
other remedies, and in consequence their
sales have steadily increased throughout
this entire section. Our experience with
the Lung Balsam for colds and coughs has
been OF the most satisfactory character !;
so efficient, indeed, have we found it, after
repeated trials in our family, that we
have discarded Ayers Cherry .Pectoral
and all other similar remedies. We are
satisfied that it is the best remedy for all
affections of the throat and lungs before
the public, and most cordially commend II
to those who may be afflicted. The Pain
Killer enjoys national reputation of over
a quarter of a century's duration as the
leading remedy for pains, cuts, bruises,

into use as a remedy for chills.

ARNIcA AND ITS Uses. Much valued
in medicine as stimulant in cases of para
lytic affections, typhoid fevers and other
diseases, is the famous plant known as ar
Mica. This peculiar plant contains vola-
tile oil, a resin, an extractive matter and
alkaloid, the which in treatment are found
exceedingly valuable in special cases, such
as bruises and any injury where the bloodis
extravasated. 1t is from the root, leaves
and flowers of the drnica montana (some-
times known as mountain tobacco, that
most valuable preparations of liniment are
made; preparations which have wide
and justly earned celebrity in the cure of
stings and bites of all kinds, cuts, wounds,
abrasions, contractions Of tendons, enlarge
ment of the glands, stiff neck and weak
back, and all muscular diseases to which
our flesh is heir" Good housewives, who
have the care of their charges well at

scription at hand in case accidents should

Beer saloon Reflections.

A Memphis amateur beer drinker
thinks it strange and ridiculous that the
likeness of Abraham Lincoln should be
pasted over the bunghole of every beer
barrel, as is done in the United States.
Had our amateur and friend dipped into
Shakspearian literature as deep as he
does into beer mug, he would have
found good authority for all this.
Hamlet-Why may not imagination
trace the noble dust of Alexander till he
finds it stopping bunghole2
Horatio-'Twere to consider too curl
ously, to consider so.
Hamlet-No, faith. Alexander was
buried; Alexander returned into dust;
the dust is earth; Of earth we make
loan, and why of that loan, whereto he
was converted, might they not stop =
beer barrel2
II there is no incongruity in the idea
Of Alexander being the bung Of a beer
barrel, in what sense can it be ridicu-
lous to paste Lincoln's likeness over the
dust Of the great hero of antiquity

snun and snlps shooting

Munchausen stories are all the rage at
present, and very bad phase Of society
it presents, as all must admit. Our bird
shooting reporter, while returning from
the demonstrating match on Saturday,
overheard story told by an English
man, that to the reportorial mind savored
strongly of the romance. - think it
more difficult to kill snipe than to kill
pigeons over trap" remarked an old
gentleman in the fernando street car.
=" Not at all, sir broke in an English
sportsman; killing snipe is mere
trick, sir, and does not require good
shot. When / was boy in Hold Hing
land / have seen an old gentleman in
knee-breeches, who carried his shot gun
on his right shoulder. When the snipe
rose, the hold Hinglish gentleman would
take double pinch of Lundyfoot snuff,
rub his silk handkerchief across his
nose, then drop his gun in his left hand,
and kill the snipe. The thing is all a
trick, sir2" Our reporter caught nu-
merous incredulous glances around the
car, and even a beautiful blonde, who
occupied seat, smiled at the snuff and
snipe story, she evidently believing it to
be a devilish good "trick," not to be
sneezed at by American sportsmen.

ENp OF THE SIXTEENTH VOLUME.

This evening the PUBLIC LEDGER is
eight years old, and the seventeenth
volume commences. The history of the
LEDGER is so familiar 10 its readers that
il is quite unnecessary to review it now.
Established in 1865 on solid basis, it
sprang rapidly into public confidence
and favor. and il now stands in line with
the leading journals Of the South. 1t
has become a necessity with the people
of Memphis and vicinity, who greet its
evening arrival with pleasure, having
waited for it with impotence. What's
the news in the LEDGER is the Of
ten repeated question, which the reader
has TO answer ere he opens out the
paper. 1t is rapidly distributed in every
part of the city, and he who drives
through the suburbs in the afternoon
will see hundreds Of people devouring
its contents. As in the past, so it will
be in the future, journal for the peo-
pie. Independent OF every clique and
ring, it is an earnest worker in the pub
lie cause, and ali uncompromising oppo
nent of oppression or wrong, let 1t
come from what quarter it may, or let it
appear in whatever form. The WEEKLY
PUBLIC LEDGER, one Of the most beauti-
full and readable papers published in
the land, has acquired large circula-
tion in this and adjoining States. Its
clear type and great variety of reading
matter commend it as 6rstclass fami-
ly journal. The proprietor and pub
Usher will spare no expense in order to
make both the daily and weekly editions
of the LEDGER most acceptable to the
nuhlic

NEW YORK.

NRw YoRE, Sept. THE inquest yes
terday on the body of, Woods, who died
in Castle Garden yesterday as alleged OF
Asiatic cholera, developed the fact that
deceased died OF typhoid fever
The investigations Of the Commission
er Of the Common Council at Long
Island City, resulted in the discovery OF
n discrepancy in real estate purchased
by the Water Board, of sSl, $50, accord
ing to records in the County Clerks
office.
II is reported that at the first meeting
of the Board at the Stock Exchange
to-day, the attention Of the members
was called to the alleged forgeries in the
matter Of English certificates Of Erie
bonds of Bischoffs, Chem 4 Gold
smidts issue. 1t is, also, possible that
the Board may order ia: certain classes
Of bonds shall be verified before being
dealt in. In view Of the heavy forgeries
in higher stocks, it is conceded on all
hands that to-day will be the great day
for testing the genuiness OF many classes
of bonds which have been looked upon
as genuine. This will, probably, create
great excitement.
Brown, the Wall street forger, who
was arrested Saturday, will be arraigned
at the Tombs to-day, and probably re-
manded. He still maintains his inno-
cence Of attempt at frauds.
Several large bankers express the opin-
ion that, owing to the recent startling
developments, and also what may take
place in the Board to-day, triaing de-
preston may be experienced in some
stocks, but do not anticipate a panic.
Another robbery was committed on
Wall street Saturday last. A prominent
banking firm was plundsred of over
$4,000. The banker thus robbed is
Charles w. Keehs, of l6 New street, and
the criminal Edward Patterson, clerk
temporarily employed. Keehs' regular
man is on a summer vacation. Two
weeks ago, when leaving, Keehs, who
placed the utmost confidence in him,
asked him if he recommended any man
to fill his place. The clerk recon-
mended Patterson, who was engaged and
installed in the position. He proved
himself thorough accountant, and
evidenced such knowledge Of business
affairs that Keehs was so favorably i'm
pressed with his conduct as to contem-
plate permanent position for him in
the office. Saturday afternoon, just
before the closing hour, Keehs gave Pat
terson $4,000 in gold certificates, and
$l5, 900 in United States bonds, and
$1,000 in cash, to deposit in the bank.
Patterson didn't return.

MADISON, Wis, September THE
nomination of R. H. Baker for Lieuten-
ant Governor on the Republican ticket,
has proved bad job. Something must
and will be cone. The Chairman Of the
Central Committee asserts that fact, and
since the Lacrosse Leader came out op-
posed to Baker, the managers Of the
official paper here, which is the regency
organ, are becoming alarmed at the
fact, and the leaders of the party in the
late Convention admit that the Republi-
can party cannot run successfully with
out the aid of E. W. Keys. That gen.
tleman's opposition to Baker has great
weight, and it must be regarded. No
one here denies that if new party can
be formed in this State, with skirts nv
soiled, Baker and others on the Republi-
can ticket can be easily beaten. The
great mass here, which are in favor Of
the new party, do not think it admissi-
bic to place in nomination any OppOsi-
ton candidate to Washburne. Further
developments will be awaited.

white Girl ssduosd by q Negro.


CALIFORNIA, Mo-, Sept. l.--Great ex-
element was created here last night, by
the supposed elopement Of white girl
and negro from farm two miles north
of town, which afterwards proved seri-
GUS matter. She had been seduced by
the negro and brought to town by him
and an accomplish for the alleged pur-
pose of sending her to her friends at
Carondolet. On arrival he told her
that no trains left till tonight, and en-
ticed her to woods near town, where
they we're discovered after ten hours
search by the citizens, who turned out
en.masse. Upon the approach Of the
citizens the negro fed. From the girls
statement and their actions it is supposed
they intended putting her out Of the
way, and if she had not been rescued no
doubt would have been foully dealt with.
The girl is but fifteen years old and is
enciente. She was brought to town and
will be sent home. Great indignation
exists among the citizens, and hot pur-
suit will be instituted for the fiend, who,
if captured, will no doubt be lynched.
