KIND WORDS.

The Associated Reformed Presby-
ttrian says-Fnr years Perry Davis
Pain-Killer has been known as a most
useful family medicine. For pains and
aches we know nothing so good as the
Pain Killer. For many internal diseases
1t is equally good. We speak from ex-
perience, and testify to what we know
No family ought to be without a bottle
of Davis Pain Killer.

Yours truly, T. j. GARDINER, NJ. d.
Judging by our own experience who
ever once makes a trial of Perry Davis
Pain Killer, will not fail to recommend
it widely as an unequaIled liniment, and
valuable internal remedy for colds and

The efficacy of Perry Davis world
renowned Pain Killer in all disease of
the bowels, even in the terrible scOurge,
the Asiatic cholera, has been amply
attested by the most convincing authOri-
ty. Missionaries in China and India
have written home in commendatinn of
this remedy in terms that should carry
conviction to the most skeptical, while
its popularity in communities nearer
home is ample proof that the virtues
claimed for it are real and tangible.

rivaled. Boston Courier. ,e1Fr

place on this broad land where Perry
Davis Pain Killer is not known as a
most valuable remedy for physical pain.
In the country, miles from physician or
apothecary, the Pain-Killer is cherished
as the exclusive panacea, and it never
deeeives. ......
"Pcrry Davis Pain-Killer is really a
valuable medicament, and, unlike most
of the articles of the day, is used by
many physicians. 1t is particularly
desirable in location where physicians
are not near, and by keeping 1t at hand,
families will often save the necessity of
sending out at midnight for a doctor. A
bottle should be kept in every house." !"

The Manly Art :

The long pending fight for $4,000, be-
tween two noted bruisers named Coyne
and Rookie, was announced to come off
on Wednesday last, at IIarvey's Lake,
about IS miles from Wilkes Barre. 1t
appears that more than the average num-
Der of "roughs" had assembled to wit
ness the encounter, the adherents of
each of the contestants going to the
place of meeting armed with pistols and
bludgeons that Rookie and his friends S
wanted the fight postponed, which the
other party refused, demanding that the
fight should proceed, when number of
the roughs jumped the ropes, entering
the ring and discharged their pistols
among the crowd, but without injuring
any one. On order being restored it
was found that Rookie and his seconds
had eft, when Ooyne rose from his seat
and demanded that the stakes, $4,000,
be given up to him. And so ended this
long talked of brutal and disgusting
affair.

Even Vermont, the stronghold Of Puri-
tan conscience and honesty, has imbibed
the poison of Grnntism, and prao tises the
r'iscalities Of the times.
From developments made by the invcs-
tigating committee now in session at st.
Albans, the state Legislature of 1862 ap-
pears to have been as dishonest and as
vonal AS even the Forty-second Congress
The National Despatch Company was tho
Credit Mobilier of this Legislature, and
the Vermont Central their Union Pacific.
But IL was not the Legislature alone that
was corrupted. Mr.. j. ID. HATCH testified
that he paid money TO n member of the
Supreme Court and to leading men of the
GRANT party who were not members OF
the Legislature. No wonder the State
gave GRANT large majority in 1872; and
now the question L. whether there are
honest men enough left within It's borders
to save II from moral perditon.

thnt il was entirely incompetent to perform
| the duties assigned 1t, appear to be con-
frmed by the record of the gun since il has
been In the hands Of the Guard. A petition,
signed by more than two thousand mem
bors of the Guard, says that the gun de-
livcrcd was constructed Of poor material,
was dangerous to use, and of intricate
mechanism, liable to be easily put out OF
order. These qualities having fully de-
veloped themselves even in the light SER

II required for use I'm the fieldf In several
cases the stocks have broken in two, being
in two pieces without strengthening. In
some cases the gun will not cock, and i'll
Others IL will not stay cooked.
Notwithstanding the strenuous efforts
Of many officers of prominence In the
Guard to break up the first contract, the
political influence of the Remington Gun
Company proved too strong, and the guns
were paid for. As "A natural result, not
satisfied with extracting $250,0O0 from the
state treasury, another raid Is now making
upon it in the shape Of the present bill.
There are fifteen thousand Remington
guns now in the hands OF the National
Guard and If any more arms are eroquired,
the contract should be given to some in
vcntor who can supply good and safe gun.
II is well known fact that the Remington
gun has proved u complete failure before
the United states Small Arms Board and
II is the duty of every honest legislator to
prevent n furthor depletion OF the state
treasury by voting against this appropria-
ton, especially as $4,000 is now TO be paid
over the old contract price for the de-
livery of an equal number of breech-load-

came question Of expcAicucy. To close
out long ana hittcr controversy, this
amendment, though with serious msgiy-
ing on the part Of many of those who had
favored the Thirteenth and Fourteenth
amendments, was finally adopted. This,
perhaps, WuS wi,v under the peculiar and
embarrassing circumstances which sur
rounded the questions growing out Of the
rebellion and reconstruction. At all events
Il was done and that Il the end of il.
But the Administration Of GRANT has
never been willing 10 allow negro suffrage
To work itself out to its legitimate results.
IL has never given the Southern whites "A
iidr showing in the elections. On the con
trary II seized upon the ballots OF the
seven hundred thousand negro voters
claimed them as ite exclusive property.
and by partial and oppressive legislation
IN Congress, and by the use OF its bay
onets In the Southern States, and by the
appointment Of corrupt and INSCRIPTIONS

the Administration has filled the Legl-la-
tlrea OF the reconstructed states with
ignorant negroes ana thieving carpct-bag-

IN almost hopeless bankruptcy.
