"A quaint Scotch Minister was
given somewhat to eXaggcration in
the pulpit. His clerk reminded him of
its i'll effects upon the congregation.
He replied that he was not aware of
it. and wished the clerk the next time
he did it to give a cough by way of
hint.
Soon after he was describing Sam
sons tying the foxes tails together
He said, ''Foxes in those days were
much larger than ours, and they had
tails twenty fut long"
"A-hem Y came from the clerks
desk.
That is" continued the preacher,
according to their measurement, but
by ours they were fifteen fut long"
''Ahem q louder than before.
But as you may think this is ex-
travagant, well. just say they were

The parson leaned over the pulpit,
and shaking his finger at the clerk,

1t was a day in midsummer ;


The boiler had burst
Four-and-thir.y brave fellows
Lay malgled in the dust.
Our hearts melted with sorrow
With lightning speed we sent,
Thinking only OF the glad tomorrow,
If we found the Ccntaur Lininent.
Well, we found it a Lindsleys store,
three miles away but it did its work,
saved pain, inflammation, amputalion
and suffering.
The Centaur Liniment always does
its work, whether it be Tor scald, bruises
rheumatism, stil1-joints or lameness.
But this to us is an old story Why
will any suffer? Come all ye halt,
lame and sore, and be healed for a
dollar or fifty cents, and if YOU havnt
that, then for nothing. We know what
the Centaur Liniment is, and will war
ant it every time.
Cripples throw away their crutches
and leap for Joy. Horses neigh for it.
When Centaur Liniment comes in the
front gate, pain flies out at the window.
lfyou would sleep without pain,
walk without limping-straighten out
that crooked knee, use those rheumatic
distorted fingers, or get rid of a horrid
neuralgia, just use the Centaur Lini-
ment. (Whitc wrapper.)
The other kind yellow wrapper) is
just as effective upon your lame horses
and mules. A wonder, says one a
miracle, says another.
The article is selling as no other
article ever sold, and it only sells be-
cause it cures. See the certificate a.

Silver Currency.

Secretary Richardson fears that
The agitation which has occurred in
Consequence of the announcement OF
the Treasury Department TO place
the currency on u silver basis, would
prolong the time for resumption.
The demand for coin was much
greater than was anticipated, and all
the silver in the Treasury would be
absorbed in a few days if q policy o.
exchanging it for currency were now
carried out.
In consequence of large orders al
ready sent 10 the Treasury for coini
by bankers, merchants and railroad
companies, the Secretary will not OK
change silver for currency, as first
intended, bat until the demand is not
- great, be will adhere to the plan
of paying off bills against the govern
ment partly in silver. Ii a person
holds draft on the Treasury, or on
any Assistant Treasurer; part Of it
will DO paid in silver, say to the
amount Of Eve dollars.

WHAT NEXT ?-An effort to d.
vide the Republican party was made
first under johnson, then under
Chase, and finally under Greeley,
and signal failure in each instance
has caused the Democracy to fall
back in their old position and avail
themselves OF any opening that may
offer. Sick and tired over the re.
suit of last years campaign, they
have since taken the reins of party
opposition to the Republicans that
they may drive into political power.
The election in Ohio has greatly en-.
couraged the Democrats south and
north. and we expect an alliance of
that party in 1874 with any organi-
cation that promises even a shadow
of success. A strong point will nat
urally be south. Look out for an.
other new movement.

confession, of which the following is
a summary. Lucette was followed to
herhome in Stanton street New York

Beach also visited Lucette. Kate
Stoddard called several times on Ju-
eette to learn. whether Goodrich Wis
tied her, aud manifested jealousy.
Roscoe was also jealous. aud threat.

after parting with Goodrich, Lucette
and Beach went toGootrich'- Degrow
street house, and. entering with faIsa
keyes, hid 10 a closet Kate Stod-
dard and Goodrich entered soon
afterwards, and quarrelled for some
time. Then Lucette heard shot,
and three or four more in succession.
She burst irOmthe closet, saw Roscoe,
pistol in hand, leaning over Goodrich
and Kate wiping the blood from his
forehead. Roscoe threatened to
shoot Lucette. but let her off on her
swearing se1resy. She then wander
ed home. She does not know how
Roscoe entered the house.
