THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Grant is no writer, yet he can express his ideas with considerable eiearne<s, and has given us, on most points, a sound message. While his ref ereace to the clique of slave holders who practically govern Cuba is not like to in- crease his popularity in Havana. there is nothing undnly warlike m his treatment of the virginius affair. He has no more desire for foolish brawl than the rest of us.
 The president has evidently been mak- ing C special study of finance, and if the results he arrives at are of apparently slight value, we ought not to blame him too severely. Finance is subject about which everyone is ready to talk, but about which no one seems to know anything. Suspensions and panics interfere with our finances in the same inscrutable man. Eer that cholera and yellow fever interfere with our health. The way General Grant and Secretary Richardson treat of Specie Resumption. reminds us of brief exam inetion VIC made of medical works in the cholera season that occurred some twenty years since We noticed that in severe eases there was every variety of treatment with enc unvarying result. After sus- taining the disease and it's remedies fol c certain number of hours the patient al ways died. Just so President Grant ar gaes strongly for resumption but always uith the discOuraging result that resump. ton is impossible. -at least till . condi. tsOa of things occnra that this Nineteenth Century Is not like to see. Now if re. sumption is impossible why aggravate our snlTeEsngs wiEh talk about its necessity I Hi is pcssible. let ns have it; otherwise. <hs country ia 90 sick of financial theories that sileaee ia tle only true statesman. skip.

WASHINGTON, Dee. Sth.. 1873.
 On Friday of next week, we are prom ised lecture by the blind preacher. W. H. Milburn, a very interesting person, and popular speaker. He is termed ''The Blind Preacher" although like the late historian Prescott, he is not totally blind, and in his boyhood was blessed with good eyesight, but by accident was near ly deprived of it. Although but fifty years of age, he has been public char acter nearly thirty years, and twenty eight yeais ago oficiated as Chaplain in Congress, making warm friends among men of all parties and professions. His great and varied experience among all classes, and his oratorical powers lead us to expect an unusually interesting lecture.
 Last week, the essayist E. P. Whipple. read us an essay on 'Laborers and Loaf ers," into which two classes he divided all mankind. But he recognized mental labor and brain work, as we'll as mere  CT nothing work unless it is genuine phys ical labor. Mir. Whipple's lecture was fuil of good sound sense, but lacked hu- nor and we working folks of Washing ton do so need little diversion that we hope and expect that Milburn will be more enlivening. Banks failed to meet his appointment.

sharon.


 The sudden death of Dea. Charles Sears caused a great sensation in sharon, on Sunday last. He was superintendent ofthe Sunday school in the Congrega- tional church, and after attending public worship in the morning, he gave the charge of the school for that day to his assistant himself intending to attend the funeral of relative in Amenia, N. r., in the afternoon. Before the school and the Bible classes were through with their exercises, the intelligence came that he was dead. The services were brought to 8 sudden close and the meeting broke up in grief and amazement He had started for Armenia in a covered buggy with two nieces. and before he-had proceeded one hundred rods on his way. he suddenly fell from his seat and expired in the car riage. Dea. Sears was born in January, 1900, and except for a few years while he served an apprenticeship in Sheffield, Mass, to learn the trade of tanning and AoAACSo 4tA0AAuss1 AC AGAo uAW6y7 AC0A4C0 III Sha1on. He was for more than thirty years engaged in that business and by in- dustry and carefulness acquired hand some estate. Having an ample income and few expenses. he was able to gratify the feelings of his heart in aid of charity and benevolence. He was always fore most in every good work for tine promo tion of the public welfare and happiness. His gifts for the support of the cause of religion and morality in Sharon were large and freely rendered. At the time of his death he was the senior deacon of the Congregational church. and the church and society of which he has long been an active and efficient member lament his departure with the deepest sorrow. Twice he has represented the town in the legis- lature and no man was more respected or could be more missed than Dea. Sears.

Hack, Hack, Haokl Cough, Cough,

Hack, Hack, Hack! Cough, Cough, Cough!
 Cough is symptom by which various diseased conditions of the throat, bronch- ial tubes and lungs manifest themselves. But whether it arises from the irritation produced in the throat and larynx by taking cold, from an attack of Bronchitis, from incipient Consumption, or from various other causes, nothing will allay it more speedily or cure it more permanently than Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Disco very. It does not matter whether it be recent attack, or lingering cough, the Discovery is in either case equally well adapted for its relief and permanent cure. In fact, it will cure a cough in one-haH the time necessary to cure ik with any other medicine, and it does 1t, not by drying it up, but by removing the cause, subduing the irritation, and healing the affected parts. No time should be lost in commencing the use of a proper medi- cine for the relief of Cough, for unless tlais course is pursued, serious and dang erous disease of the lungs is liable to re- suit.
