A RAILROAD TRAGEDY.-The Chicago Times
OF Thursday relates the following account OF a
brutal stTay which occurred in South Chicago
on Tuesdsy night: CATER the polls were closed.
Henry Larson and James Barnes, neighbors
started home in company. 1t was after dark
and the road they pursued was quite deserted
Both men were under the influence OF iiouor
ana as shown by their tracks their line of march
was far from straight. When about half way
home they became involved in a quarrel, which
assumed such proportions that fists and cIuhs
were called into requisition Finally Barnes
struck Larson over the head with heavy osken
stick he carried in his hand in lieu of a cane
The drunken brute who inflicted the injury now
felt himself in q quandary. He evidently
thought the blow bad killed Larson. He kneg
that the crime would be charged upon him. as
he was known TO have left South Chicag 20 in
Larson's company. Near by was the track of
the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne railroad. He
dragged the senseless form of Larson upon the
track, and left it extended across the rails
Fortunately, few minutes before the express
train, then nearly due, came along, q man who
happened TO be walking along the track stun
bled over the PROSTATE form. Larson was still
fnsensible, but IL was evident that life had not
departed. His rescuFr carried him 10 the neigh
boring residence of Mr.. Bsrth. Later in The
night he was removed home. Hts skull is frac-
tured, ard his physicians entertain serious
donbts OF bis recovery. Officers are in pursuit
OF Barnes, but as yet NJ trace of his whsr.-
atous has been found"

CITY PROPERTY -Ar. Editor: On many of
the streets there is an eyidsnt disregard by some
Of the citizens of their duties in the preser-
walton OF the public property, such as trees
tree-boxes, parking and park fencing, and in
stopping up the sewer openings with sII sorts OF
trash, thereby causing the most sbomnaOie
OdoIs to issue therefrom. In the vicinity of the
new Savage Square Market, especially on l.
street between 4th and 5th, four trees, boxes and
all, have disappeared; the tops of others have
been eaten off by horses carelessiy left standing
by them. Another disregard to law is seen on
me same street, where some person has partly
putt one story brick, put on &c To let," left
the sand and gravel ana rubbish in general
lying on the street in front; the parking and
Iencipg unpisced, and thus IL has been for
nearly three months. Have the police no au-

The Great General Taking the Boys to
the CircuS.

Let me tell you what saw not long
ago at circus. Sitting in front of us
was Gen. Sherman, and with him quite
a number of children, whom he had
gathered from the "byways and
hedges" We saw him look down under
the seat, and then haul out a dirty,
ragged little darkey, who had crept in
under the tent, and then seat him at
his feet, where, by crowding, a place
was made for the little rascal. CHOW"
said the General, &c sit there my boy,
and see everything. Bless me many
time have done just the same thing,
and many athrashing have [ had" He
seemed like child everything pleased
him, and we wondered where was the
vanity of which people talked so loudly.
Gen. Sherman has on his staff a uni
versal genius in the shape of Auden-
reid, known to the worlds at large as the
handsome Audenreid.' He leads the
German, decorates halls for aristo-
cratic charity entertainments, groups
the flowers, Grapes the flags, helps fix
the tables, and is the most amaible,
useful man in society. His wife-who
is very homely-is a prime favorite,
makes exquisite toilets, and is reckoned
the most charitable lady in Washing
ton. Col. Tourtelette, of the staff, is a
most incorrigible old bachelor.

Success Based Upon Merit.

1t is a subject of general remark. among
both wholesale and retail druggists, that no
medicine introduced to the American public
has ever gained such a popularity and met with
so large sale in all parts of the land in the
same length of time, as DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. This cannot depend upon
It's having been more largely advertised than
any other medicine as such is not the case.
The correct explanation, we think, is found in
he fact that this medicine produces the most
wonderful and perfect cures of very bad cases
OF bronchial throat and lung diseases, is I'M
doubtedly the most perfect and efficient remedy
for all kinds of coughs that has ever been in
troduced to the public, and at the same time
possesses the greatest of blood-purifying and
strengthening properties that medical science
has peen able to produce. thus rendering it
sovereign remedy not only in the cure of Con-
Sumption, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and Coughs,
but also Tor all diseases of the liver and blood,
as scrofulous diseases blotches rough skin.
pinples, black specks and discolorations 1t
has therefore wide range of application and
usefulness, and 1t not only gives the most per-
tsct Satisfaction 10 all who use it. but far ex-
ceeds the expectations of the most sanerline
thus eliciting the loudest praise. and making
permanent icing advertising mediums of ali
who use it. For these reasons it is that there
is not perhaps druggist in all the vast do
main of this Continent who tries to please his
customers and supply their wants, that does not
keep and sell large quantities of this most val
liable medicine.
JEsUP, Iowa. May 9Th, 1873.
DR.. r. V. PIERCE:
Dear. Sir-We take great pleasure in saying
that your Medicines have sold entirely beyond
our expectations. We regard them as the
best medicines extant and hear them spoken
of IN the highest terms of praise.

Discovery of a Deep-laid and Frightful Plot.
From the Sedalia Democrat.

Discovery of a Deep-laid and Frightful Plot.
From the Sedalia Democrat.
To show how low and degraded coun-
try journalism has become, we will cite
this fact:
Thirty years ago all these newspaper
fends went into cahoot, and started pa
pers for the simple purpose of laying
up enormous amounts of wood. For
this purpose every country paper put
this notice at the head of it's local
column
"WooD WANTED.-We will take
wood for subscription for this paper.
Bring on your woodr'
Yes, "bring on your wood Mark
that
Now, what are these rascals doing :?
Why, they have been running news
papers for wood until they have got all
the wood in the country in their own
hands. And now wood is up-they've
made corner in it.
"But," the reader will ask, "Where
is their market? What good will it do
them?
Poor ignorant soul Well tell you.
After these country editors have got all
the wood in the country into their
hands. what do they do? Why, they
go to work, tooth and toe nail, and ad-
Vocote cremation They know per-
fectly well, just as soon as cremation be-
comes a part of American politics, every
man will be trying it on his mother-in
law and wifes relations. And wood will
go up to $100a cord Every one of these
fends will have this advertisement on
one whole side of their paper:
TO CREMATIONISTs.
Ten million cords of the best hickory,
old and dry, just the thing for burning
your dear ones in the quickest time pos
sible. Old exchanges, for ki1fdling,
thrown in gratis. Apply at this office
Then these country editors will be
rolling in wealth instead Of glue and
molasses.
All, this is deep laid plot
