In place of the hard passionless ineaments koew so we'll, every feature was altered and expressive of the most intense excite ment; his face was as pale as that of the corpse, and beads of precipitation were standing on his brow. In moment was by his side, and was reading the pa per, which with trembling hands he held stretched out on the lid of the chest. Now, boys, I'm not going to tell you what those figures totted up to,--frstly, because you woulqn't believe me-and next, because I'm sworn not to tell; but his I can say, that there ain't a placer here-no, nor yet in California-that would be a circumstance to the pile we had the certainty of handling. No, sir; I can sec that list now-thousands and thousands of Mexican dollars, dozens of bars of pure gold, case after case of precious stones; yes, and gold crucifxes and candlesticks, and suchlike; piles of them,-for there was the loot of more than ore Spanish town there. And with this list, water-stained and yellow with age. was another paper, or rather two: one was calculations, figures, and meas urements, and all that; the other was rough sketch of an island-a curious shaped island it was, long and pretty flat all but two peaks connected by ridge near the middle of 1t, and in the side of one of them was crag shaped just like the spire of church-not these square topped things they have down New Mex ico way, but like what remember the village spire was at home in the old coun- try, so steep that none of us boys could ever climb 1t; and when the old weather cock came down one windy night, the parson couldn't find man in the parish who could put it up again.

The ticket agent at Baltimore last week, selling seats for the concert of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, refused to sell seats in certain parts of the hall to color ed people. Considering that the singers themselves were colored people this was thought too much of a distinction and they refused to sing, unless their colored brothers could sit where they chose. This claim was acceded to and all went well. ---

George Lehritter VS.. The State Of Indiana.
This is an indictment against the
appellant, charging in substance
that he did, on Sunday, the 11th
day Of May, 1873. Of ETC., sell two
gilssof Intoxicating liquor to Peter
Goth for ten cents, and suffer the
same to be drank in the building
and upon the premises where sold
There WAS . motion to quash the
Indictment made and over. ruled, to
which ruling the defendant except.
ed Upon q plea of not guilty on
a trial BY the Court the defendant
was found guilty. He moved for q
new trial and an srrestof judgment,
both Of which motions were over
ruled and he again excepted. There
was final judgment against the de-
PENDANT, from which he appealed,
and has hare assigned said rulings
a. errors The Indictment does
not differ from that in the case Of
the said appellant against the State,
No. 1864, in any essential particu
lar, and under the rulings of that
case must be held sufficient. On
the trial of the cause the defendant
according to q statement in the bill
of exceptions after the State had
closed it's evidence, "the license
from the county of Marion. and
State of Indiana, to sell intoxica-
ting liquors in less quantity than a
quart in said county, dated January,
1873, running one year, the fact Of
which license was admitted by the
State" The license is not set out
in the bill of exceptions. 5e
We are of the opinion that the
fact that the defendant held q Ii
cense granted under the act of 1855
was entirely immaterial. It is pro
vided in the twenty first section q
the act Of 1873 that the law shall
be in force from and after it's pass
age in so far as relates to those who
hold license under the existing
laws Of the State, and that it shall
apply to them after the expiration
of such license. We think it WA
the intention of the legislature tina
such persons as held q license un
der The law Of 1859 should hav,
the right to sell until the expiratio,
of the license, as if they had PEI
NIT under the new law for sucl
time, and that they should be sub
ject to the penalties Of the new lay
for any violation of it's provisions
The license did not authorize q sal
on Sunday. The Judgment is al
firmed with costs.

The word humbug, says De Quincy,
rests upon very rich and compre-
hensive basis; it cannot be rendered
adequately either by German or Greek,
the two richest of human languages.
It's origin, however, is wrapt in doubt,
the stories concerning it being vague
and uncertain. The following [ re-
gard as the most trustworthy: At one
time there was war between Germany
and Austria, and constantly the wild
est and most incredible stories con-
corning the victory or defeat of the
German arms would be spread, entire
" without truth. They were all traced
to Hamburg, SO, whenever anything
marvellous was announced, men would
say, ooh that is Hamburg" and f.
nally a "humbug."

Purges, rurifies and Strengthens the
as1 n system
DR.. TUFTS Pills are composed of many
ingredients. Prominent among them are
Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry, 50 united as
to act together; the one, through its admix-
ture with other substances, purifying and
purging; while the other is strengthening
the system. Thus these Pills are at the
same time tonic and q cathartic, a desid-
eratum long sought for by medical men,
hut never before discovered. In other
words, they do the work OF two medicines,
and do it much better than any two we
know of, for they remove nothing from the
system but impurities, so that while they
purge they also strengthen, and hence they
cause no debility and are followed by no re-
action.
Mp. Tuft's Pilla have O wonderful in.
flueace on the blood. They not only purify
without weakening 1t, but they remove all
nOxious particles from the chyle before il Is
convert ed in to fluid, and thus makes impure
blood an utter i'm possibility. As there Is no
debilitation. so there Is no nausea or sick
ness attending the operation of this most
excellent medicine, which never strains or
fortunes the digestive organs, but causes
them to work in perfectly natural manner;
hence persons taking them do not become
pale and emaciated, but on the contrary,
while all impurities are being removed, the
combined action of the Sarsaparilla and
Wild Cherry purifies and invigorates the
body, and a robust state of health Is the re-
suit az their united action. Price, % cents a

In certain sections of the country
where the Patrons of Husbandry
hold the balance of power there
seems to be q growing tendency to
convert the order into one Of a po-
litical character. The temptation
to form new party which shall re-
present q leading interest, and
unite q powerful class against small
er ones, is both strong and natu-
raj, and to resist it demands the
highest order of patriotism. We
have large sympathy for the farm
ers' movement and believe that by
proper management it can greatly
benefit the interest which it was
formed to protect. Its founders
saw the dangers which the intro
duction Of politics would cause,
and wisely excluded its presence
from the order. We are glad to
know that the prevailing sentiment
of the oranges is against the move
ment now on foot by certain de-
signing men to use the order for
political purposes. Its best friends
see in this movement the defeat of
its principal objects, and the early
dissolution of the order itself
Whatever tends to weaken the Re
publican party as national power,
takes from il the ability to bring
about the reforms which the farm.
ers Of the West stand in need of.
To break away from that party, and
form another on purely class
grounds, may for time insure 10
cal advantages, but these will be
purchased at the expense of greater
advantages, which must of necessi
ty be national in their character.
Cheaper transportation to the sea
board, and to the markets of the
East is one of the necessities of the
hour. It affects all sections of the
country, and to bring it about re
quires the united efforts Of the re
representatives. of all branches of in
dustry. The Republican party il
fully alive to the importance o
opening new outlets for Western
production, and has already take1
steps to secure them at an earl,
day. To cripple the party by with
drawing from it enough strength t
throw the election into the hand
of the Democracy would be to i'm
peril the best interests of the West
We can not but regard this move
ment toward the formation of
third party as nothing more no
less than Democratic dodge, ha,
ing for it's object the disruption {
the Republican party by divisio
in its ranks. Every Republica
farmer in the West should be o
his guard against the seductive il
fuences of those politicians VIII
assure them that nothing but fa
mers' ticket can secure the reli,
they demand. If the farmers hol
the balance of power in any Stat
they have it within their power
elect men who shall represent the
interests. This can be done thr
the Republican party without
the least weakening its power. "
sincerely hope that the Republics
farmers everywhere will frov
t down all attempts to nominate
class ticket It will lead to orga
ization OF other interests again
them, and defeat the project nc
on foot for their relief. If tn
want 10 be felt in politics let the
be more active in the ranks of e
|, party, and seek the nomination

The Executive Committee of the
Vermont State Temperance Society met
at the Bates House, Rutland, last Thurs
day afternoon, and among other impor-
tant business voted to appoint Rev. p.

Of the Society for the current year, COM
mencing from the 18th day Of January.
There were presen. at this meeting, Il. h.
Knapp, Chairman, Rev. DR.. Kitchel
President of the Sooiety, Rev. w. w.
Atwater Secretary, Newman Weeks Esq.
Treasurer, DIR. j. Sheldon, and Col. j.

an able and eloquent advocate of Tenn
perance and lifelong friend Of the
cause. He was member Of the House
10 the last Legislature, and the mover
and principal advocate Of the "bil for the
better enforcement Of criminal laws"
which passed the house by such an unex.

sion He is undoubtedly the right man

/AN ECCENTRIC MAN.-An exceeding
Ny eccentric man has just died at Hiues-
burgh, Vt. in the ! erson Of Augustus Me-
Even, aged a. He had his grave dug
twenty years ago, and stoned up and fill
ed with earth that it might be in perfect
condition whenever needed. Last fall he
had the earth dug out of it,saying he ex-
pected to be laid there before winter
was over. His coffin was in readiness
seven years ago. and so arranged that he
could lie on his side with his knees drawn
up, as he said he slept in this condition
in life and wanted to sleep so in death.
All his plans for the funeral were made
in advance, and among the rest he sell
cctcd four colorcd boys who had worked
for him more or less, as had their father
before them, as pall-bearers. They were
to carry the body to the grave,which was
on his own farm, lower it to its last rest
ing place, fill the grave with earth, and
then walk back to the house, where they
were to find each letter, sealed and di.
rected to them in which was the money
to pay for the last service which he had
required of them. His friends took good
care to carry out his peculiar wishes.
