THERE seems to be little doubt anon

THERE seems to be little doubt among
thinking people that substantial justice
was done in the case of the much too
famous Tichborne f'climant," who has
lust been sentenced to fourteen years
penal servitude as Arthur Orton, a
butcher of Mapping and Australia. But
while this is admitted, there seems to be
az little -doubt-ameng thinking people
that Lord Chief-Justice Cockburn has
gained no laurels in point of character
by his bearing during the tedious trial
and by his charge at its close. The con-
viction of the claimant is generally at
tributed to this charge, which was an
abler argument for the prosecution than
any made by the crown advocate, Mr..
Hawkins. A distinguished English
statesman oil the Liberal party writes to
friend in this country of the Lord
Chief-Justice's charge: " 1t was mar
vel of talents and injustice" This is
damniDg with foul praise rather than
with faint; and it is hardly creditable
TO our British cousins that public opin-
ion in England about the Alabama ar
bitration should have been more de-
cidedly Influenced by a judge of so no
toriously injudicial a mind as Lord
Chief-Justice Cockburn than by all the
rest if the English representatives at
Geneva.

the ideas of farmers, and to foster a taste
for improvements, but TO the great ma
iority of their clients the possession of
such stock, or the use of it, is quite un

SEEDING LAWNS AND DOOR YARDS.
Those who intend to SOW grass seed in
lawns or door yards, should do it as ear
ly as possible, so that the grass may get
a good start before the drouth and hot
sun of midsummer. Late sowing is the
most common cause of failure in this
business. Poor seed is another source
of disappointment, and one which
but few people can well guard
against-the seeds being commonly pro-
cured from distance, no one can know
whether it is new or old.
The best kind of grass seed for lawns,
etc., is what is called Kentucky Blue
grass, which is the common June grass
of our fields; but the seed is seldom
gathered by our farmers and is mostly
procured from Kentucky. Wishing to
use some of this for ourselves and a few
neighbors, we have sent to one of tho
growers of it in Kentucky for several
bushels of fresh seed, and will have
some if it left on sale at n. o. Lees
drug store in gainesville, for those who
wish to obtain it-price 81 per peck. or
40 cts. per lb. Those who wish to mix
white clover with it, as is commonly
done, for lawns, will also find it there.
Mr.. Bateham, or his son, will attend to
the seeding and planting of lawns, etc..
about town for those who desire it.

CIRCULATION OF THE BLOOD

The circulation of the blood is the life of the
body and its stoppage is death. We arc healthy
when the blood circulates freely: any Interrupt
tion preventing its free course is the commence
ment of disease. Blood is the life of the flesh
Can we expect to enjoy good health when bad or
corrupt humors circulate with the blood causing
pain and disease; and these humors being depos
tied throughout the entire bods produce pimpIes
eruptions, ulcers, indigestion, costiveness, head
ache, neuralgia. rheumatism, and numerous 9th
er complaints. No disease can be in the body
without first being generated in the blood; and
no disefse can possibly be in the body if the
blood is pure. 1t is of great Importance to know
what medicine viii purify and renoyate -sne

FACTS FOR THE POPULAR Dl.

The figures showing the progress of
extravaganza in the expenses of the
civil, naval and military service of the
country should be kept before the peo-
pie. Nothing except the public pres
sure upon the politicians can correct the
reckless increase of official wastefulness.
The people have paid heavy taxes
with so much quietude that Congress
has encouraged every wild scheme that
visionary spectators have conjured in
The name of National progress, and graf

sought to fasten and fatten themselves

THERE is one act of politeness which,
in some Of the European countries, the
poorest peasant never forgets. 1t is the
salution of the dead. A funeral passing
through the streets of New York or Lon
don, is treated with no more considera-
ton than a street car, but in Italy. every
hat would be raised In reyerent salution
as the corpse went by. There may per-
haps, be very little sincerity in the feel
ing which prompts the salutation, but is
is one of those graceful little actions by
which we express sympathy for the be-
reaved, and acknowledge, in the pres
ence of death, that touch of nature which
makes us kin.

ART DEPARTMENT 1874

The illustrations of THE ELDINE have won
a world wide reputation, and in the art centres
of Europe it is an admitted fact that its wood
cuts are examples of the highest perfection ever
attained. The common prejudice in favor OF
steel plates is rapidly yielding to more educa-
ted and discriminating taste which recognizes
the advantages of superior artistic quality with
greater facility Of production. The ,wood-cutss
of THE ALDfNE possess all the delicacy and
elaborate finish of the most costly steel-plate,
while they afford better rendering of the
lists original.
To fully realize the wonderful work which
THE ALDINE is doing for the cause of art cul-
ture in America, it is only necessary to con-
slider the cost to the people of any other
decent representations Of the productions OF
great painters.
In addition to designs by the members of the
National Academy, and other noted American
artists, THE ALDINE will reproduce exam
Piles of the best foreign masters, selected with
view to the highest artistic success, and great
est general interest. Thus the subscriber to
THE ALDINE will, at trifiing cost enjoy in
his own home the pleasures and refining infiu-
ences of true art
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will be by
Thos. Moran and j. ID. Woodward.
The Christmas issue for 1874 will contain spe-
cial designs appropriate to the season, by our
best artists, and will surpass in attractions any
of its predecessors.
