HITHERTO the only thing to be said in ia
vor of the pillory and whipping-post, which
Delaware retains for the punishment of
crime, was that the painfulness of the former
and the stripes inflicted at the latter were
meted out with impartial severity to all class
es of criminals-that this method recognized
no difference between the man whose low de-
sires led him to steal ham. and the artistic
bank robber or thieving cashier; and tor this
reason alone, it might not be injudicious to
urge that these relics of the darker times
might be set up beside their old companion,
the gallows. But the lates. infections of this
mode of punishment upon some gentlemanly
bank robbers who failed to rob Wilmington
bank, but nearly killed policeman in their
escape, indicate that even the pllory may be tri-
fed with and the stings extracted from cat
o'-nine-tails. We have the statement of that
reliable authority, New York Herald re-
porter, that the Democratic sheriff who had
been accustomed to leave the backs of ne
groes and ''no account whites in crimson
burrows with dozen blows, placed the for
ty lashes on the delicate backs of the bank
robbers so arti4tically as scarcely to bring the
blood; as for the pillory, its remorseless jaws
were left so far apart that the culprits might
just as well have stood with their heads out
of window. The Delaware yeomanry were
greatly disguised because this peculiar amuse-
ment was robbed of its attractive features
and told the sheriff that money did it.

A MOTHER SEEKS HER DAUcHrpp orr, mn

beknown to her. Mrs. L, said she was married
to second husband, and that the child was the
offspring of her first marriage. She had allow
ed her child to visit some of her relations in

that she was in Charlestown, Mass, sick. Mrs.
L. said she had just arrived by train from Port

ance OF an OFFICER: An officer was allowed to

had been staying was found, but when the moth
er asked to see her she was told that the child
was dead. The feelings of the mother can bet
aid.

IT is a matter of surprise that President
Grant should have referred to the senior Sen
ator of Massachusetts, the other day as he
probably did when addressing delegation of
the Colored Mems Convention by referring
to a"person claiming to be a particular friend
of the colored man." It isn't exactly like
Gen. Grant but the Springfield Republican
shouldn't lash its sides about it for it must
remember that the "senior Senator" has said
and does say very unpleasant things about the
President. We admit that it is very improp-
er to call the senior Senator of Massachusetts
a 'tperson," .aaH. sHniD a4l

lEE KNOWN TO AMERICANS
1t is the constant companion and estlmable friend
Of the missionary and the traveller on sea and land
and no one should travel on our Lakes or Rivers
without it.
1t has been before the public thirty years, and
probably has wider and better reputation than any
other proprietary medicine of the present day. At
this period there but few unacquainted with the
merits Of the Pain-Ker but while some extol it as
iniment they know but little of its power in cas-
ing pain when taken internally while others use iG
internally with great success but are equally gno-
rant Of its healing virtues when applied externally
therefore wish to say to all that it is equally
cessful whether used internally externally and it
stands to-day, unrivaled by all the great catalogue
of family medicines 1t is sufficient evidence of its
virtues as a standard medicine, to know that it is
now used in all parts Of the world aud that its sale ia
constantly increasing. No curative agent has had
such wide spread sale or given such universal salts
action 1t is purely vegetable compound, and per-
fecty safe in unskiful hands.
After thirty years trial. is still receiving the most
unqualified testimonials to its virtues, from persons
81 ne o be ana
most eectual preparation for the extinction of pain.
1t is not only the best remedy known for Bruis
any sort Of bowel complaint it is remedy unsur-
passed for efficiency and rapidty of action. In the
great cities Of India and other hot climates it has
become the Standard Medicine for all such COM
pl.ints, as well as for Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints,
and other kindred disorders. For Coughs and Colds.
Canker, Asthma, add Rheumatic difficulties, it has
been proved by the most abundant and convincing
testimony to be an invaluable medicine.
Beacare of all Imitators.
