WHAT SOME EMINENT MIN SAY OF ST. Nrcrl

WHAT SOME EMINENT MEN SAY OF ST. NICII-
oLAs-what John G. Whittier says:
1T is little to say of ST. NICHOLAS that it is
the best child's periodical in the world, and
think the editor has great reason TO congratu-
late herself upon IT.
Rev. c. S. Robinson, d. D., in the Sunday
School Times, gives Clcrgyman's view Of ST.
NICHOLAS:
81 am ready to say ass;;t cleaner, purer, more
Trustworthy periodiesi FOR children eannet be
named. The best writer's are engaged upon it.
1t is printed beautifully, and illustrated in the
highest style of art. know the proprietors, and
if ever high, noble purpose was cherished by
any public people, it it is found here. The ma
gazine does not claim to be religious, but it is on
the side of all that is true and e,ood from begin
ming TO end"
DIR. r. Shelton Mackenzie, the Literary Editor
of the Philadelphia Press, says:
"Sr. NICHOLAS l tell yOu in private, as have
told my readers in public, is the very best maya
zine for young people that have ever seen. 1t
is far more dfficnft, think, to edit periodical
of this class than one intended for adults, and
Mrs. Dodge deserves unlimited praise for the
judicious manner in which she has executed her
task. l have found heaps of things in ST. MICH
oLAs which had forgotten, had imperfectly
known, or had been wholly ignorant of. So l.,
too, sit at the feet Of Gamaliel"
What Edmund Clarence Stedman says:
"ST. NICHOLAS, without and within, is house
hold charm, and certainly surpasses any Chill
dren's Yearbook, English or American, that
have ever seen."
Charles Dudley Warner writes of ST. NICHo-
LAS:
Never before think, has 50 much literary
and artistic talent co-operated in the service of
children, and Twill not resist the hearty impulse
to say to you that you have made the best maga-
zine for children of all ages that have ever seen
do not see how it can be made any better and
if the children don't like It, think it is time to
begin to change the kind of children in this
country"

II The American Newspaper Advertising
Agency of Geo. p. Rowell & Co., New YORK, is
the only establishment of the kind in the United

bone, and are making amends for lost time.
Whether for good or bad, they have passed a
financial bill, fixing . definite date for resump-

Rights bill. While the Democrats were fighting
it SO bitterly. the Republicans added to it
preamble, plank from the De.nocratic National
Platform of 1872, in favor of equal rights. The
Republican party will retrieve its lost ground,

RI,OOD DIsEAsE,

The blood being the source from which our
systems are built up, and from which derive
our mental as well as our physical capabilities,
how important that it should be kept pure. If
it contains vile fostering pOisons. all organic
functions are weakened thereby. Settling upon
important organs, as the lungs, liver kidneys,
the effect is most disastrous. Hence it behOOves
every one too keep their blood in perfectly
healthy condition, and more especially does this
apply at this particular season of the year than
at any other No matter what the exciting
cause may be, the real causes of large propOr
tion of all diseases is bad blood. Now DIR. Pierce
does not wish TO put his Golden Medical DiscOv-
cry in the catalogue of quack patent nOstrums by
recommending il to cure every disease, nor does
he so recommend il, on the contrary there IRE
hundreds of diseases that he acknowledges it
will not cure; but what he does claim is this,
that there Is but one form or 0E6od disease that II
will not cure, and that disease s cancer. He
does not recommend bis discovery for that dis
ease, yet he knows it to be the most searching
blood cleanser yet discovered, and that it will
free the blood and system of all other known
blood pOisons, be they animal, vegetable or min
eral. The Golden Discovery is warranted by him
TO cure the worst forms of Skin Diseases, as all
forms of Blotches, Pimples and Eruptions, also
all Glandular Swellings, and the worst forms of
Scrofu!ous and liberated Sores of Neck, Legs or

A DastardIy Outrage.

Mr.. w. II. Dickinson IL q farmer,
who resides with his family, n wife
and three little children, some twelve
miles from the city, in the immediate
neighborood Of Cedar Hill. His res
idence Is situated some distance from
the road in thick grove of trees.
Last Monday night four men with
whom he was acquainted, were seated
in his residence discussing with himself
and family the commonplace topics
of the day. About eight O'Clock, sew
eral men rode up to the door of his
dwelling ahd tried to get Mr., Dick
inson to go with them, telling
him he was needed at once at
a certain grocery about mile distant,
and that they had been sent to tell
him. Mr.. Dickinson not liking the
suspicious actions and story of the
men, refused to accede to their request
and immediately entered his house.
The men then rode of accompanied
by the men who had been in Dlcken-
sons house at the time of their arrival.
The entire party had no sooner disap-
peared in the darkness of the night
than Mr.. Dickinson and his family
were terrified by the report of
u rifle and the shril noise
made by the bullet as it struck
the house. This was followed
by another, then another, and in u
few moments II perfect fusilade was
poured upon the dwelling that contain
ed the helpless father and his terrified
family. The little children covered
close in the corners of the room while
the parents sought the safest hiding
place, but Notwithstanding every pre-
caution that was taken, Mrs. D.clxin-
son was struck in the back of the head
by a spent ball which fortunately had
nN sufficient force to do her any ma
terial injury. The murderous miscre-
ants after eXhausting their ammuni-
ton retired from the scene of their
outrage, Mr.. Dickinson cannot con-
ceive the cause of the act and intends
to prosecute the scoundrels to the full
est extent of the law.
