cutters who have been at work at La Sale
have returned home, the job on which they
were at work being finished. Mr.. Nc.
Balm has gone to Chicago to work, Messrs.
Brown, McConchie and several others are
in Wisconsin. These men are all first
class stone cutters and were at work at
Rock Island when wages were reduced. -
They were given no time for consultation,
when wages were reduced, but were re
quested to instantly signify their accept
ance of the reduced wages or be discharg-
ed. They with forty or fifty others chose
to wait few days aud consider the matter.
They finally concluded to accept the terms
and then those who applied were refused
work. No fault was found with them in
any particular, but they were not employ
ed. They were invited here by the late
ten. Rodman, with promise of perma-
nent employment. They have conformed
to all the rules and requirements of the
and with no charges against
them and no fault found with them, they
are refused work and strangers put in |
their places. They are all men who have |
families residing here, and most o. them
own property here. Col. Fagler is at
tempting to drive these families out Of
town by the unwarrantable course he is
pursuing.

What Advertising Does.

First Merchant-"Dull as Sunday

Second Merchant-"O, John. / see

Second Merchant" Nonsense! what
you want is to let the public know you are

First Merchan. You can't make me
believe it. People amt such fools as to be
influenced by a newspaper advertisement.
Second Merchant" That all depends
upon the style of your advertisements. If
you advertise the truth, as we always do,
the public will soon find il out but if you

Tom Henderson's Hate,

A letter from Henry county lpreviou,
to the nomination. to the Buren, Comh
Tribune, after some reference to the Haw
ley and Lynde contest, said:
AS things are llendersons chances
would be very good but for the fact that
his uncalled for bitterness towards Gree
ley, from whose almanacs and editorials he
got all the good ideas he ever had, aroused
the dislike of all the Democrats and all of
those Republicans who supported Greeley !:
who, by the 10y, were about the only polit
ical friends he had for many years. These
could now help him, but he spat upon
their counsels for moderation two years a
90: and now without the attachment of
the Republican party proper, many of
whose leading men he iustly) called
liars, and proved them to be such, he
will have another two years in which 10
cool himself off, and reflect on the result
OF has everlasting cautious haste.
Should he be nominated, the Changers
Or Independents would show him how they
love the man who despised the most of
them two years ago. Nothing would be
hen wanting to scare him out of his boots,
but for them to nominate an honest man.

Now is the winter of our discomfort il.
the form of colds, coughs and pulmonary
complaints, and in halls, streets, churches,
or wherever men do mostly congrcgate,
there you hear chores, of coughing, with
full symphony Of sneezing, How much
mischief arises from neglected colds, un-
regarded coughs. and the consumptive in
the coffin, perhaps, would have been well
and hearty now if, when it was but a
cough, he or she had taken bottle of Mas
ta's Pulmonic Balsam, which is the very
best remedy for all diseases of the throat,
chest or lungs.

BACCHANALIANs AND TOBACCONALIANs

BACCHANALIANs AND ToBACcoNALIANs.
The use of tobacco provokes expectora-
ton and creates thirst intoxicating H.
quors are drunk to quench it, but it grows
by what it feeds upon. The brain and
nervous system become irritated, and then
tobacco, either as fumigant or as fodder,
is again employed, to sooth and deaden
the irritation. Thus the evil work goes
on-tobacco sometimes leading to the use
of strong drink and sometimes strong
drink leading to the use of to-
bacco Certain it is that men of high
standing in society assert that VINEGAR
BITTERs, the new Temperance Tonic, will
annihilate all desire for tobacco. and thirst
for Intoxicating drink. 1t is already
widely known that this Invigorant and
Restorative is effecting wonders in dyspep-
STA, biliousness. constipation, and all ner-
vous, muscular and glandular diseases; but
if it will emancipate our Bacchanalians and
Tobacconalians from their bondage to alco-
hol and nicotine, money cannot measure its
value, uor do justice TO its importance.

The n. Y. Herald independent paper)

The n. Y. Herald independent paper
says:
If the Democratic party were harmon
iously organized and working actively as ;
unit upon national issues, and in behalf o
an honest currency, the constitution, law
and order, it could do great things; but
the fact is the Democracy, as a national or
ganization, were never more distracted, di
vided and adrift than they are at this time
And herein lie the hopes and the apparen,
confidence of the Republicans in the gen
eral profits and losses from all the elections
of this year for the next congress. We
are badly cut up and demoralized, say the
Republicans but the Opposition being
without head, body or tail, what haye we
to fear? We cannot meet this question
now. but we may be able to answer it in
October. The signs from the Vermont
election are certainly calculated to encour-
age the Opposition forces in other states
with hopes of success, particularly when
the heavy burden OF third term appears
to be fixed upon the back of the Republi
can party as fast as the Old Man Of the
Sea

There are some curious facts about the
recent election IN Colorado. The count Of
the votes was IN the hands of Gov. Nc
Cook and the Territorial Treasurer. The
issue of the election was whether the an.
pointment of McCook should or should not
be Endorsed. There was some apprehension
that the count would be unfair. This was
heightened by the removal of the Treasur.
er on the night of election and the ar.
pointment of friend of McCook as his
successor. Commenting on the first ru-
NOR of thi. change, the Denver Ne,os IRE
publican but opposed to McCook) said
II this be trne; il, in his desperation the Cover

flame of popular excitement and indignation which
even Federal bayonets will not subdue, and which
will not be extinguished until 1t consumes the last
yestige OF carpet bagsm upon the soil of Colorado
ware; the people will not be trihed with.
Language like this on the part of a
Democratic paper in Southern State
would be printed all over the North as
proof of rebelious designs, and as an ar
gument for instant Federal interference.
When General Grant and his wife is
sued their invitation cards on the occasion

R. v. PIBRcE, NJ. D.:
Dear Sr-YOur favor is just
received. / intended to have
written to you several weeks
since concerning the improve.
ment in my health, which is now
very apparent. l have used one
bottle Of FavJrite Prescription
with the best results, although |
will admit l was somewhat dis
cOuraged after it's use flor a short
time only l took it under very
disadvantageOus circumstances
having the supervision of the
house during the season Of "house
cleaning" l was obliged, through
the incompetent y Of help, to do
more work than l ought, and OF
course, suffered dreadfally, lifted
when l ought not to have raised
my hand, and did all l could to
bring "order out of chaos" but
upon laying aside all cares and
continuing the remedy | find af-
ter usiDg less than one bottle to
be so much benefited that l have
discontinued the use, with no re.
turn of tho symptoms Of which |
wrote you. | have suffered ter-
ribly and what added to my dis
tress. was the CONSCIOUSNESS oil
not procuring relief from Ordi-
nary sources, at times it seemed
about impossible to stand so
great was the distress. Al of
those severe neuralgia pains have
disappeared, they were so bad at
times I could hardly walk without
some external pressure. They
seem TO have left me like magic,
suddenly, and have had no re
turn; all other symptoms have
been removed. The severe weak.
ness and faintiDg have disap-
peared, and ! can go up stairs
with comparative ease now.
would have informed you ere this
of my improvement, for | appre-
ciated it, but l was fearful it
was only transient benefit l was
receiving, but l think sufficient
t me has elapsed to consider the
beneficial results permanent. Ac-
cept of my best wishes for your
future success and your kindness
in advising me.
Very truly,
