tried it and found it superb. We gave

An ENTERPRIsING FIRM.-Our numer-
Gus readers are familiar with the names of
the well-known proprietors of those popu-
lar remedies-Allen Lung Balsam and
Perry Davis Pain Killer-Messrs, j. n.
Harris & Co., of Cincinnati. Their at
tractive advertisements have appeared in
our advertising columns during the past
eighteen months, with the best of rusults:
Our people have been made acquainted
with the superiority of Allen 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 il. 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 il
to those who may be afflicted. The Pair
Killer enjoys national reputation of cvel
quarter of centurys duration as the
leading remedy for pains, cuts, bruises
&C., in America, and has come largel!
into use as a remedy for chills.

DOWN IN THE TOMBs.'

a - ss21g q H
The Memphis appeal sometimes strikes
hard blows at what may be termed the
"besetting sin" of the Southern States
that is, the habit of pointing to the past
for evidence of their greatness. In late
issue that journal publishes . capital ed
itorial, entitled, "Down in the Tombs," OF
which the following is specimen:
There is nothing more ridiculous than
faded respectabilitys which not content to
worr 81 along in its genteel shaoblness. VIII
persist in thrusfing under the noses or peo-
Die sFho do not desire to be Bothered with
unearthed fossils. Our people dwell more
upon their past glories than the means by
which they can be invested with new
lustre. But Virginia is the most notable
instance on record of this living. almost
exclusively in the past and worshipping
those great |" heroes r and !" statesmen"
who are mustered before Che publicin the
discussion Of every qpestion. Ell
Again the Appeal observes:s -
The press and public speakers of Ten
nessee are disposed to initiate the example
of Virginia, and often faunt in the face OF
the people the bones of their dead heroes
and statesmen. Pending the discussion OF
every question, great or small, Jackson,
paraded before the public. The scarcity of
great living men causes those who "learn
nothing and forget nothing" to bring for
ward on all occasions the idols they learned
to worship in their boyhood days. We re-
gret to see 50 many of our citizens persist
in putting themselves in the predicament
of the turnip, which has the best part of
it under grvum. CO ~ v a AZ
lhese observations are true and apply
with force to the Southern States. p, 1t is
too true that we point to Jackson, Grundy.
White and other great men of the past as
evidence of what Tennessee is. Senator
Brownlow in his editorial days, used to
say of his native State Virginia, that she
was like thepotato hill, the best part
of her under. groundsn The memory of
these men should be respected and re-
vered, but thepresents generation can not
take to themselves any character for great
ness from the departed dead. The young
man who expects to attain to greatness
and fame on his fathers merits, will miss
the mark widely aud will be very apt to
become an admirable specimen of the
shabby genteel" if nothing worse.
Every young man should attempt to
make name and character for himself.
He should understand that the world
Judges him by his own merits, and not up
on the worth or character of his ancestors.

Service, about which a good deal has has been
said: .a-a,fr..
WEST NEwBRIGHTON, n. Y,
March Is, 1873. -
My DEAR SIR JAS the circumstances IN
der which several important appointments
have recently been made seem to me to
show an abandonment both of the spirit
and letter of the Civil Service regulations,
1 respectfully resign my position as a mem
Der of the Advisory Board of the Civil
Service. In so doing, 1 beg to assure you
of my warmest wishes and of the continu-
ance of my most earnest efforts for the sue
cess of your administration.
Very respectfully andtruly yours, 81
- GEO. WIN. CURTIS. -
His Exeellency the President, ~ VI
Some of the opposition papers announce
this as an abandonment of the matter. The
Washington correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Gazette, thinks it is not played out
and says:
Competitive examinationsaarescert
not abolished at the Interior Department t:
Tomorrow such EXAMINATION will be held
to fill four positions as Examining Sur.
geens of the Pension office. The Board
consists of DIR. Baxter, Puryeyor of the
Medical Departme tent; DIR. Hood Chief
surgeon Of the Pension office, and DIR. j.
p. Stanton ,sof this city. The Chronicle to-
day, in an editorial arguing that civil ser
vice reform originated among those who
desired to break down the Republican par
ty, attacks Mr.. Curtis as follows; IF Mr..
George William Curtis supposed when he
became chairman of the Civil Service
Board that the President had abdicated
that the Constitution of the United States
had been repealed, and that he and his
board were clothed with plenary power to
control appointments, he is too great an
ipnoramus to exert much influence on pub
lie opinion. Hence, the implied threat
published by the New York opposition
journals. that Mr.. George William Curtis
may print a letter declaring that his resig-
nation was rendered because the rules OF
the Civil Service Board had in some cases
been disregarded, contains nothing to dis
turb the equanimity of people possessing
reasonable share of common sense. 1t is
in no sense material to the public whether
he resigned on account of i'll health, or on
account of business engagements,E because
his work had been completed, or on &C.
count of an exuberance of personal vanity.
The rules of the Civil Service Board viii
remain, and whenever and wherever
found to be beneficial will be applied and
enforced all the same, whether he or some
other citizen may hereafter be President of
this board, or if the board should be dis
solved"
