In THE PENITENTIARY.-When
w. Jasper Blackburn was up at
Patton Rouge he saw in the Peni-
tertiary man stone crazy and one
stone blind. The crazy man is
white, and was formerly a cab dri-
yer in this city. The poor fello
walks continually, as though his
life depended upon making a certain
beaten round within a given time.
His countenance bears the most in
tense anxiety The blind man is
colOred, and, says Mr.. Blackburn, if
ever man deserved hanging, such
should have beeu his fate, instead of
"a lifetime sentence in the Peniten-
tiary. He outraged and then muir
dered a little white girl, aud robbed
her of her earrings after dead-cut-
ting them loose. His blindness was
occasioned by shot received in the
capture.
IFF.Parson" Strickland, the highway
robber, was absent, being among
those detailed to work out, and Mr.
Blackburn was therefore deprived
of the exquisite pleasure of looking
upon his intelligent, beaming and
benevolent eountenance.

An Iowa man named Carr, of
Burlington, has gone TO New Or
leans to negotiate for the shipping
of Iowa corn to Europe. We hope
his effects i'm that direction will be
successful, as We have no doubt
they can be. By way of New Or
leans corn and the other productions
of this and other States bordering
on this Mississippi river and its
tributaries can. no doubt, be shipped
to Europe at less expense, and at
greater profits than across the cOun-
try by rail roads to an Eastern
market. Mr.. Carr's enterprise ought
to have Iowa encouragement. y

CENTAUR LINIMENr.-There is no pain
which the Centaur Liniment will not re-
lieve, no swelling it will not subdue, and no
lameness which it will not cure This is
strong language, but it is true. Where the
parts are not gone, it's effects are marvellous.
1t has produced more cures of rheumatism,
neuralgia, lock jaw, palsy, sprains, swell
llngs, caked breasts, scalds, burns, salt
rheum, ear ache, &c upon the human frame
and of strains, SPAWN, gals, &c, upon ami
mails in one year than have all other pre-
tended remedies since the world began 1t
is counter lrritant, an all-healing pain re-
lever. Cripples throw away their clutches,
the lame walk, poisonous bites are rendered
harmless and the wounded are healed with
out scar 1t is no humbug. The recipe is
published around each bottle. 1t is selling
as no article ever before sold, and it sells
| because it does just what it pretends to do.
Those who now suffer from rheumatism, pa n
or swelling deserve to suffer if they will not
use Centaur Liniment. More than 1000
certificates of remarkable cures, including
frozen limbs, chronic rheumatism, govt
running tumors, &c, have been received
We will send circular containing certih-
Gates, the recipe, &c, gratis, to any one re.
questing it. One bottle ofthe yellow wrap
per Centaur Liniment is worth one hundred
dollars for spawned or sweenied horses and
mules, or for screw-worm in sheep. Stock
owners-this liniment is worth your atten-
ton. No family should be without Centaur
Liniment j. B. Rose G. Co., New York.

Further Reform Needed.

Your report Of the Mead divorce case, be-
lore the Washington County Court, last
week, betrays a tone SO changed from your
accustomed candid and respectful bearing on
all matters relating to the rights or duties OF
women, as to excite in many Of your leaders
emotions Of painful surprise.
You describe the case as exceedingly filthy
ant disgusting, and think the presence of
women MT necessarily summoned there as
witnesses. evidence that they are preparing
themselves for the time when as judge and
juror they will be obliged to take part in
these disgusting exhibitions. - 1t would seem
mat y}I are n1s correct in your supposition,
nom the general remark cllled out in dis
''s''0n OF your rep0rt-that, with very few
exceptions, the women seen in the Court
room during the trial, were not q" sufragists,
'll therefore c1nnot be thus 80 looking for

all legislative and governmental affairs
are so full of corruption, what are men doing
to cleanse and cure? Declaring them to be
" low and filthy what are you doing to
bring them into purity and honor? How
tar short of Arnold's crime is his, who in all
political work is not actuated by his clearest
convictions of duty and of right? Where is
our national safety, if from every side comes
the ready and willing, nay, eager, admission
OF corruption, vileness and treachery?
10 return to the Court-your own report
OF which is most convincing that the " civil
service not alone calls for reform. Is the
judiciary responsible for ignoring the very
plain and positive prohibitions of Christ, in
many of its decisions in trials for divorce?
When those whom God hath joined to-
gether,'' ask that our law shall place them
d" asunder when SO serious matter as
this is under elaboration and investigation,
could it not be so conducted that low and
vulgar tastes would neither be attracted or
gratifed, but lifelong neighbors and friends,
Of an old and respected family, interested in
their fortunes, and watchful Of their honor,
could listen to the trial without bringing
upon themselves the most haunting re-
proaches? When judges rule out of testimony
all vulgarity, all unnecessary and indicate
detail, as readily as they rule out testimony
itself, when not directed to the point desired
when lawyers display not their legal ability
by asking not only all questions pertinent,
but all questions possible, in their examina-
tions of witnesses-when, indeed, the bench,
the bar apd the box are governed by the
golden rule, then one woman, or hundred
may properly listen to trial in court Of
justice. W.
