commended by the proprietor of DR.. Sages Ca.

not been perfectly cured, the proprietor, Dr.
r. V Pierce would like to hear from that
person, and by addressing him at-the Worlds
Dispensary, Buffalo, N. T., such person, if
there be one, will hear OF something to his or
her advantage, as the Doctor is in earnest
when he offers $500 reward for a case of Ca
tarrh which he cannot cure, and Is perfectly
able to pay it if he fails in single case, as any
one may ascertain upon enquiry. The thor
ough course of treatment referred to and rec
commended by Dr. Pierce consists in the use
OF DIR. Sage's CataIrh Remedy with DR.. Pierce's
Nasal Douche, winch is the only means by
which the fund cal be carri' high up ana ap-
piled to all parts OF the nasal passages ard

ulcers exist and from which the discharge
proceeds. In addition to this thorough appli.
cation OF the Remedy, whic should always be
used warm, DR.. Iierce's Golden Medical
Discovery should be taken earnestly as con-
sttutloual treatment, without which few cases
can be cured, as the dsaas g is ALWAYS consti-
tutonal and must be treated accordingly.

There are few things that we would
like to impress upon the minds OF those
whose fortune, or misfortune, necessl-
tates their sending correspondence to a
newspaper. Here they are:
Write plainly. Not to do so is to
make an item almost valueless, and
sometimes worse than useless.
If you write back" hand, learn to
do it with the left hand, that the COM
positor may not have to stretch his neck
to the left to dangerous extent to get
the run of word.
Don't underline every adjective in the
sentence after the style of lawyer S
brief.
If you have ever studied punctuation
at all, punctuate; but if you have not,
let it slide.
If you have occasion to make a CAPT
tai ], write it below and not on the line.
If John Smith or William McFaden
has purchased piece of property of
Hezekiah Hobbletop for S2000 say so,
if YOU desire to see the notice in print3
There is no occasion to say: Our
highly.respected and honored citizen,
John Smith, who for the last ten years
has been selling milk at ten cents a
quart, thereby realizing a muni6cent
profit, has purchased from his neighbor,
Mr.. Hezekiah Hobbletop, most estima-
Bile citizen and honorable vender of gar
den sass and sich, the beautifully located
piece of property known as Fools
Folly Plot and in that most salubriou1
location intends erecting a house there
on" Self praise is no accommodation,
neither does it pay the printer, but it
does disgust him.
Dot your is, cross your is, point your
us, aud make them distinct from the
rounded n.
Use ink. Lead pencil writing over
strains the eye Of the compositor when
deciphering it, aud also causes him to
indulge in "cuss words"
Be sure you spell names correctly. A
man wants his name given rightly, or
not at all.

est hopes that their effort at selflibera.
ton may be efectual, when we say that
precisely the same arguments they use
here will be quite as applicable to any
form OF immortality or vice. Whether
drunkenness is or is not criminal is a
mere splitting of pathological hairs. 1t
depends entirely on whether the word
criminal is used in its positive or rela-
tive sense In the legal import Of the
word a criminal act is only that declared
to be so by the law, and made punisha-
BILE. But in broader, better sense, all
vice is criminal, and drunkenness is
generally considered vice. In Maryland
drunkenness is not crime, because
the law has not so declared it. A man
may steep himself soul and body in
liquor, and so long as he can keep out
of the gutter and offers no positive
offense to any one, be has committed no
crime. If he is quarrelsome, noisy, dis
orderly, he is arrested, not for drunken
ness, but for a breach of the peace. In
Rhode Island and some other of the
Eastern States he would be liable to ar
rest and punishment for the act of being
drunk. Blackstone defines crime as an
act committed or omitted in violation of
the public law, and Great White, in his
Words and their Uses" says, what
is crime in one country may not be
crime in another; what is crime in one
country at one time may not be crime in
the same country at another time" and
"vice is habit of action or course Of
life which is harmful to the actor and
wrongful to others. The viciousness of
an act is not dependent upon the codn-
try or the creed of the person who CON-
mits or OF the people among whom it is
committed" There can be no doubt
that drunkenness is vice; whether it
would serve the purposes Of reform to
make it legally criminal act is ques-
ton Of ethics, which, whatever way it
might be decided, would never add to
nor take away from the viciousness and
degradation Of the habit itself.

A Nice Little story About Hum
bOldt.


A curious note, which comes from
Russia, is of visit which Humboldt
once paid to Iszym in Siberia. Garry
ing a letter of introduction from the
Governor General he went to the house
Of the chief government functionary of
the place, NJ Skotin, who was appa-
rently sort of Goodman Dull, of i'm
mense self importance and ignorance.
The first thing that the Governor Cen
eral heard of the savant was in long
letter from the wise Skotin:
Some days ago" he said, there
came here German named Gumbolt, a
dried up little man, looking anything
but respectable. AS, however, he brought
with him a letter from your Excellency,
in which | am directed to treat him with
politeness and consideration, re-
ceived him with all due respect. At
the same time must observe that this
individual seems to me very suspicious,
and even dangerous. From the first
time he did not please me; he gossipped
too much, and did not like the fare l
offered him, though | have cook, Fer
lissa, who makes excellent pirogs, and
would be most happy to offer some to
your Excellency. He seemed
to despise both myself and my hospital
ity, and he evidently looked down upon
the most eminent officials of the town.
On the other hand, he is continually
talking with the Poles and other politi-
cal criminals under my charge. Your
Excellency will forgive my boldness in
saying this, but these conversations with
political criminals could not escape my
observation, especially as a few days
since, after long conference, he went
out with them at night to the top of a
hill which commands the town. There
they took out of a case which they had
brought with them an instrument in the
shape of long tube, which seemed to
me and my colleagues like a huge can-
non. This they placed on a three
legged stand, and then aimed il straight
at the town. Each of them approached
the instrument, apparently to adjust it
SO as to rectify the aim. Seeing the
great danger which threatened the in
habitants of the town, which was built
entirely of wood, / Immediately ordered
the town guard, which consists of sub
officer and six men, to march to the
spot with loaded muskets and not lose
sight of this Germans proceedings. II
the mans treacherous designs prove
what suspect them to be, we are ready
to risk our lives for the Car and for
holy Russia"

FOR HIS SAKE.
BYA LADY.


Hold closcr still my hand, dear love,
Nor fear its touch will soil thine ewn;
No palm is cleaner now than this,
So free from earth-stain has it grown
Since last you held 1t clasped so close,
And with it held my life and heart.
For my heart beat but in your smile,
And life was death, we two apart.
loved you SO. And you? All, we'll
/ have no word or thought OF blame;
And even now my voice grows low
And tender whispering your name.
You gagged my love by yours; that's all.
l do not think you understood;
There is point you men can't reach,
Up the white hight Of womanhood.
You love us-so at least you say,
With many tender smile and word;
You kiss us close on mouth and brow,
Till all our heart within is stirred;
And having. unlike you, you see,
No other interest at stake,
We give our best, and count that Death
Is bless'd when suffered for your sake.

More Pensions.

1t appears by despatch from Washington
that the convention Of Mexican veterans had
something more in view than social reunion
and to make speeches over their deeds in the
war with Mexico. At meeting yesterday
they agreed to memorabilia Congress for pen
sions for those who were engaged in the war,
or for their surviving widows and children.
While no citizen would object to granting pen
sions to those who were disabled in the Mexi-
can war, or in any of our wars or to the fami-
lies of soldiers who have been made destitute
in consequence of service rendered to the
country by the brave fellows, we should not
forget that the pension roll already calls
for the enormous sum Of over thirty millions
year, and that, instead of being reduced as time
advances and pensioners die of, larger sum
is demanded every year. Then, where is our
boosted patriotism if citizens are not willing
to fight for their country without enormous
bounties in the first instance and remunera-
ton drawn from the taxpayers afterwards? In
this remark we except, of course, the poor
fellows who have been disabled, and their
families who suffer in consequence. 1t is
somewhat strange, too, that after quarter of
a century has passed since the brief war with
Mexico and when the people are borne down
with heavy taxes this claim should be pre-
sented. If anything is to he done, let those
who fought be rewarded by a grant of home
steads from the public lands. Few of the SOL
diers or sailors get much benefit from PEN
sions. Agents and schemers get most Of the
money It is time that some limit should be
set to such a vast drain upon the Treasury
and the taxpayers.

AMERICAN SECURITIES ABROAD. The large
profits offered by American securities as COM
pared with those of some other countries, and
the certainty that attaches to the payment of
interest on the same, is evidently attracting
the attention of European investors. Unusual
activity has of late been manifested in this
department in London, Amsterdam and else
where. Recalling the fact that there is an ex-
cess OF capital on the other side which seeks
safe investment, and that there has been dis
appointment and default in many of the other
foreign securities there placed, it is reason
able prediction that the capitalists Of the Old
World will seek investment in our government
and railroad bonds, and thus secure profit
which nowhere else in Christendom has been
more surely or regularly realized

The CHURCH QUESTION IN GERMANY. Since
the close of the late Franco German war Ger
many has had some trouble with the Roman
Church. The late Encyclical revealed the
feelings OF Rome, just as the late elections
revealed the feelings of Germany The an
tagonism is complete. The Pope speaks plainly
to Emperor William and Emperor William
writes plainly to the Pope. Both are old men
and the one and the other must soon pass
away from that stage on which neither En-
perors nor Popes can resist the will of Heaven.
The strife is painful. Germany and Rome
were won't to be a unit The Holy Roman
Empire was once the worlds pride II was
long the dream of Rome, as it has long been
the dream of Germany, that the unity which
50 long existed and which has been inter-
rupted should be restored. The question is
of worldwide interest. 1t is not question
that concerns Germany alone or Rome alone.
II is live in England. 1t is live IN America
