Castor Oil Pills.

AThe safety and certainty OF action of Castor Oil,
Tor both children and adults, has made it at all
times popular, because 1t is u reliable medicine;

to its constant use is the difficulty of administering
I to children and its Dauseousness to adults. Both
these objections are now entirely overcome. The
Proprietor, by the application OF the principles of
chemistry, aided by a careful manipulation ana

in accurately combining,

DEATH or Col. ABELL-Col. Peter I. Abel
died at Atchison, on Friday morning, the 10th,
in the 61st year of his age. He had been for
long time in a critical state of health Col. Abel
was one of the founders Of Atchison, and from
that day until his death, was a never ceasiug
worker for the interests of the city. Since the
completion Of the Atchison and Nebraska Rail-
road, he had been its President. The unanimity
of the people Of AtchisOn, upon questions involv-
ing the interests of the city, is known the coun-
try over. Political, religious, and personal diff
ferences had 10 be sunk for tho occasion, and all
lSbored for the single purpose of accomplishing
the enterprise in hand. This spirit was nurtured
and trained by Col. Abel, who himself never
failed to set the example. Such mcn are rare,
and his loss will probably never be supplied to
Atchisou.
The deceased was buried on Sunday, with Ma
sonic honors, followed to the grave by an immense
concourse of citizens and visitors Special trains
were run on the railroads, and hundreds along
their lines went to pay last tribute to the man
who, in building mp enterprises for the benefit of
Atehison, at the same time built up a vast tribu-
Jary country.

A MODEL REFoRMER.-The most blatant mem-
Der of the Legislature fur Reform. is F. W. Pot
ter, of Coffsy County, politician who had long
been laid upon the shelf, until the new Reform
movement and divided opposition permitted
him to float to the surface once more. If the
true Reformcrs in the Legislature permit this
shystcr to lead them, they will be led by devious
paths. He has somehow got to be Speaker pro
tenn; but this is well enough, as no is we'll versed
in parliamentary usage-in fact, he is infinitely
better qualified for Speaker than the man who
was elected. He has served number of times
in the Legislature; and prominent official. who
was long in the secret of most of the public bus
iness of the State, once told us that Potter had
TO be paid price for every vote he gave in favor
of important bills, to silence his opposition to
them. In 1861 when the Legislature elected
Thomas Carney United States Senator Potter
was one of the bitterest in denouncing the fraud,
aud was elected to the State Senate the next Fall
upon this issue. Friends Of Gen. Lane have since
told us that Lane furnished Potter the mon
ey to make bis canvass ard secure his election !;
and then, when it came to voting for Senator, he
had TO actually pay him for bis votoI Since then.
he has failed TO be elected to Office, until last
Fall, and has picked mp precarous subsistence
by bumning for such political scallawags as Sid.
Clarke-another model Reforiner! Truly, Re-
form has fallen into clean hands!

A VETERAN.-We have received the first num-
Der of the Trin FalIey Register, successsr to the
Times, published at Germantown, Ohio, by +. C..
Mcdonald, who makes an interesting local pape
especially so to us. The Register announces
that Louie Dill will continue TO be fixture in
the Office Tweuty-six years ago, this day, we
went TO Germantown, to learn the printing bus-
mess. Louie then keeping little trap in
town, but was employed in the Office off and on,
especially when there were handbills or election
tickets to be set in Dutch-that ncighborhood
being settled almost exclusively by what
known as "Pennsylvania Dutch;" and he had
stuck type in the town twenty-five years before
that. The office changed hands, and Louie was
kept at work in it about two thirds of the time
Finally We took the Office, and Louie became
part and parcel of its material, sticking to u.s.
through thick and thin, as long we remained
ENTHUSIASTICALLY begging spare day to ''do u
little job" of sign painting. Since We left, sew
enteen years ago. he has been engaged in the of
fees there, through all their vicisitudes and
changes of proprietors, and will probably die a
the case. But he seems a good way from that
yet-he can tell as good story and enjoy as
hearty a laugh as ever. He will complete
bis fiftieth year at the case, aud We hope he may
live to stick type fifty moro. Although slow,
aud inclined to take things easy and good-natur-
edly, he is honest and true, and can be depended
upon. 1t gives US pleasure to have this opportu-
nifty of paying a slight tribute to an old standby
of the days of long ago. When get rich, Wen

TREATING TuE WEONG DIsEAsE.

physicians, one with dyspepsia, another with

another with pain here and there, and in this
way they all present alike TO themselves and
their easy going and Indifferent doctors, separate
and distinct Diseases for which he prescribes his
pills and potions, assuming them TO be such,
when, IN reality, they are all symptoms caused
by some uterine disorder; and while they are
thus only able perhaps to palliate for time,
they are ignorant Of the cause, and encourage
Their practice large bills are made. when the
suffering patients are no better in the end, but pro-

The legislature.

Tn. Legislature may be said to have got to
work; but the prospect, 80 far, is not favorable.
One good feature, is the voting down, by an I'M
mense majority, Of the newspaper and postage
stamp project. But there is too mnch bnncombe
about reform, intended to catch the popular
breeze Every member seems to be desirous of
offering q string of Reform resolutions. The
great danger is, that too much of the reform will
consist of buncombe talk and resolutions; that
small fry shysters who have mounted the Reform
hobby, viii run the machine; and that work will
be neglected until near the close of the session,
when it will be rushed through with the usual
recklessness and want of consideration.
Up to this time, il seems that about every men,
Der has introduced a series of bills, which he
took to Topeka cut and dried in his pocket.
Each member, on an average, has introduced
One bill to repeal the act exculpting bonds and
mortgages from taxation;
One bill to repeal the act relative to loan and
trust companies-the "debenture" law;
Five bills relative to assessment and taxation
Three bills postponing the ten per cent. penal
ty on taxes;
Seven bills repeating the so per cent. penalty
on lands sold for taxes;
law;
One illrepealing the Insurance law;
Three billie prohibiting the isuing of bonds to
Railroads;
One bill appOrtioning tho State into Congress
ioral Districts;
One bill prohibiting the granting or accept
snce Of free railroad passes;
Three bills regulating the fees and salaries of
County cfhcersj
And ten assorted bills putting the screws to
misunderstanding acts relative to freghts, the
killing of stock, fencing tracks, etc.
The chances are that, in the multitude and
confusion of counsels, the most necessary meas
ures will fail, pass in such shape to be prac-
tically useless. Great things are expected Of the
Reformers ia THE Legislature, aud II th.y come
home without having remedied the evils COM
planned of, or have bungled what they under
took, the people will lose faith in Reforiners.

FcoSoNY on THE RAMPAGE.-Economy and
retrenchment are good things to preach, when
the money is not going TO our especial friends.
The allowance to Sheriff Campbell for care of
pnblic property, did not even elicit mention as
item of Comfy news; but when the same allow
ance was made to Sheriff Maquilken, then it was
time to enter protest. We have NO doubt that
Campbell earned his money, and as little doubt
that Msquilken earned his. A Sheriff has null
titudc of onerous duties imposrd npcn him in
fact every little onerous or isagrerable job that
the County has to do, is BY cUmnon consent
panred ef upon the Sheriff, which he has to per-
form, In addition to his regular duties. Every
piece Of public property, fast or loose, he is held
accountable for-and Maquilken has faithfully
taken care of the property. The privilege Of re-
siding in the Jail building, carrying hash to pris-
oners, having ones family do the cooking for ev-
cry rascal in limbn, aud running the risk of hav-
ing ones brains knocked out every time hs takes
grub to the prisoners, are deemed to be sufficient
compensation for all outside trouble. Many a
Sheriff would be glad TO rent another house to
live in but he is either compelled to live in the Jail
or hire some else TO 10 it, at his own or the
County's expense. The pittance allowed TO Mr..
Carpenter, for sleeping in the Court House, and
looking after it during the night, does not COM
prise the sum total of care of public property,
If public officer is put through like draught
horse, it is mighty mean to cry ont ECONOMY
when it comes to paying him for his work.
The Sheriff of Douglas County ssys he was al,
iowe,i e per day for ths sane service fur which
Maquilken was allowed 81 per day. The Farm
ers and Reformers carried Donglas County by an
overwhelming majority, yet that Sheriff was re-
elected without opposition, and less than twenty
voters in the County scratched his name from
the ticket They carried justice and common
sense along with their Reform. But some pep
pie let their petty dislikes, run away with them
and imagine that they are actuated solely by the
spirit of Economy and Reform.
