The SKEPTICAL CONvINCED.-Every
advance in Medicine, every new remedy
has encountered an opposition which is
the test of truth. Galen and Jenner only
were believed when they had proved
their discoveries against opposition: But
men are observing, and benefits always
make believers. No incredulity can
stand the silent argument of good re-
suits. When DR.. Walker proclaimed that
he had produced from the medicinal
herbs of California an Elixir that would
regenerate the sinking system and cure
diseases not organic the incredulous
shook their heads. Yet his VINEGAR
BITTERs is now the Standard Restorative
of the Western World. The truth could
not he resisted. Under the operation of
the new remedy Dyspeptics regaincd
their health. appetite and strength, the
Bilious and Constipated were relieved of
every distressing symptom; the Con-
sumptive and Rheumatic rapidly recOv-
cred; Intermittent and Remittent Fevers
were broken up; the faint of Scrofula
was eradicated! Who could gainsay
facts like these? Not even the Faculty.
Skepticism was routed. All doubts as to
the claims of the Bitters to the first
place in the first rank of modern medi-
cines were silenced and this wonderful
preparation is to-day the most popular
Tonic, Alternative and Blood Dcpurent
ever advertised in America. In common
with other journalists we are free to add
our testimony to this remedy. 1t is a
domestic medicine, and no household
should be without it.

How Our FOrefathers Lived.

A writer in the GALAXY has collected
quantity of curious information regard
ing the manner in which our forefather
lived prior to the Revolution. In Boston
1SO years ago, butchers meat averaged
two pence per pound. A twelve-po1nG
cod could be bought for the same sum
A salmon, weighing from twelve to four
teen pounds, was sold for q shilling
Lobsters, poultry and venison were
plenty and cheap. Pigeons brought
eighteen pence per dozen. In New York
twenty years later, the price of beef wa.
fixed by law at four and one-half pence
per pound; that of pork and veal 1T .
penny more. Butter was fifteen pence
per pound, and bread four coppers pei
loaf of one pound twelve ounces. Milk.
which was carried in cans suspended bv
q yoke from mems shoulders, was six
cents per quart.
In 1874 Franklin lived in PHILADELPHIA,
on vegetable diet, for eighteen pence
sterling q week. Fruit was abundant
everywhere. The best of peaches were
three pence q peck in New England; and
pigs were fed on the poorer qualities.

ling In Massachusetts, and we may infer
the people drank it in preference to
Adams ale. Flip and toddy were also
popular beverages. The beer manufac-
tured In Philadelphia was of such prime
quality that it was preferred in Barba-
does, whittier It was exported, to the
beer of England. Madeira was the IA
vorite wine all over the country, and
rum-punch was universally relished.
The teetotsller was an unknown being
only 100 years ago; and the Grand jury

liquor was sold in every tenth house in
the city. The same story might have
been told with equal truth Of every other
city In the provinces.

Bishop Peck, of the Methodist
Church, thinks it hard that Bishops are
obliged to be continually travelling and
have no home.
Miss Chase. of Calcutta, writes to the
Atssionasy Link that not less than twenty
missionaries and native helpers preach
every morning and evening in the differ

special effort has also been made by

English part of the city to reach the edu.
Gated natives.
Rev. DR.. John Hall, of New York,
said in recent address in St. Louis
" In England they distinguish the people
into two classes, churchmen and dissent.
ers. In America he thought they might
be divided into churchmen and alb
senters; and the number of absenters is
SO large as to create great and serious
alarm, and ought to awaken inquiry as
to the condition of home and family
life.
The latest religious statistics for

thirty-three Methodist, thirty-two Bap-

Congregational, fifteen Reformed Dutch,
twelve Lutheran, four nom Episcopal
Methodists, three Unitarian, five colored
Methodist, two German Methodist, six

one church for every 1900 of the in

Youthful simplicity is beautiful, but
1t may be exasperating A Sunday-school
teacher, wishing his pupils to have a
clear idea of faith, illustrated it thus:
=" Here Is an apple-you see it., and
therefore know that it is there; but
when I place it under this teacup YOU
have faith that it is there, though you no
longer sec it." The lads seemed to un-
derstand perfectly, and the next time
the teacher asked "What is faith?" they
answered, with one accord, can apple
under teacup!'
The Baptists in Canada are irving to

The MARROW GAUGE GOING AHEAD

The MARROW GAUGE GOING AHEAD.
The Prairie du Chen Union says :
"This week an additional force OF
men was placed on the narrow gauge
line above Wauzeka, and a strong
effort will be made to complete some
fifteen or twenty miles this season.
This can be done without much
trouble. The rolling stock is already
made for the road, and just as early
as several miles OF the road has been
graded a construction train will be
put on. When the people on the
line of the valley hear the whistle of
the engine resoundlng through the
woods, there will be no trouble in
meeting all the demands with which
to build the road TO Reedstown.
This will inspire hope, confidence
and courage; and an event which
two years ago was thought lmpossi-
Bile is now regarded as absolutely
sure to occur. The people are now
in earnest in the matter, and will
give liberal aid helping to complete
the road. Altogether some five
miles have been graded and ready
for the ties. In the coarse of three
or four weeks the ties and rails will
be laid on some parts of the line.
About three miles have been CON-
pieted north of Wauzeka. So the
day of salvation is speedily coming
for our Kickapoo friends, in honor
Of which we throw up our hat, and
Join 10 giving three cheers"

Anew CLAIMS TO BE THE MURDERER
OF NATHAN. Bloomington, H., has
a real sensation at last. In the coun-
ty Jail of Mclean county is confined
man who declares be is the murder
err of Nathan, who was killed by uu-
known assassins some years since in
Now York A week ago, aJew, CIV
ing his pame as Charles Levi, gave
himself up to Sheriff Honscheidt, stat
ing that he was one of the Two mec
who had killed Nathan. The Scher-
if did not believe the story, yet did
not think he would be justified 10 re-
fusing to take him in custody. Levi
is hard looking fellow, dark and
swarJhy- faced, and aged about 30
years. His hands are hard and cal
lous as if by work, which suggests
that be has been confined in some pen
itentiary lately. His story was told
in very exited, nervous manner.
He says be has wandered every whore
through the West, in Oregon, Utah,
and Washington Territories, but that
every here his soul is haunted, and
that he has confessed to relieve his
mind. Since being confined, he says
but little, and seems to enjoy ease OF
mind. He has told all about the
Nathan residence, and the manner
of the murder, even describing the
weapon with which the deed was
committed. The Sheriff telegraphed
at once to he police authorities OF
New York, and received reply to
send full particulars, which was done.
He now awaits orders for further &C.
ton.

e6rThe PlatteyiIle Witness q

2es Inc PiatteVllie EVttHeSS of
last week attempted in aslpbored arti-
Gle of near a column to show its read
ers that the HERALD was not the lead
ing Republican organ in this county,
and would have them believe that the
Witness held that coveted position.
We are willing the editor should hold
that opinion, if it will do him any
good. The Witness is very good
paper, especially that part which is
printed in Milwaukee. 1t is one of
the liveliest local papers west of the
Alleghanies, and ought to be respected
in its views upon all questions of pub
lie concern. But it is noticeable
fact that the Witness rarely takes any
interest in public affairs unless there
are candidates in the field wanting
office, when it at once becomes red
hot and threatens to roast alive any
OF the little country newspapers that
dare express an opinion opposed to its
views. In all penitenoe the HERALD
editor fops down on his marrow bones
and asks pardon for the offences COM
mitted or he ever will commit against
the Witness. Hereafter the HERALD
editor WILL if he has time, despatch a
special messenger to the Witness man
to ascertain his position on the lead
ing questions of the day, before essay
ing an opinion.

mated for Senator in 1867 and again
in 1869 local discussions existed in
this county, growing out OF real, or

was strongly believed could be aided
