False Pretenses.

The Democratic Convention in Mary
land has adopted platform which says
"lst. We do hereby declare our unfal-
tering devotion to those cardinal princi-
Piles of republican government enunci-
ated by Thomas Jefferson in language so
clear that it can not be improved to wit:
Equal and exact justice to all men, Of
whatever state or persuasion, religious or
political; the support of the State gov
ernments in all their rights as the most
competent administrations for our do
mestic concerns, and the surest bulwarks
against anti-republican tendencies; the
preservation of the general government
in its whole constitutional vigor as the
sheetanchor of our peace at home and
safety abroad; the supremacy of the
civil over the military authority; econo-
my in the public expenses, that labor
may be lightly burdened; the honest
payment of our debts, and the sacred
preservation of the public faith; the diff
fusion of information, and the arraign-
ment of all abuses at the bar of public
reason; freedom of religion; freedom OF
the press; freedom of the person under
the protection of the haJedS corpus; and
trial by jury impartially selected.
These are most excellent sentiments.
They are truths which the Republican
party has professed and practlced for
many years, and by steadfast adherence
to them that party has for fifteen years
beaten the Democratic party, These are
the Republican principles and purposes
but what has the Democratic party to dc

Dear Sir-I will most cheerfully add my tes-
timony to the great number you have already
received in favor of your great and good medi-
enc, Vegetine, for do not think enough can
be said in its praise, for l was troubled over
thirty years with that dreadful disease, catarrh,
and had such bad coughing spells that it would
seem as though l could never breathe any
more, and Vegetine has cured me; and do feel
to thank God all the time that there is so good
a medicine as Vegetine, and L also think it one
of the best medicines Tor coughs and weak sink
ing feelings at the stomach, and advise every
body to take the Vegetine, for L can assure them
it is one OF the best medicines that ever was.

never was in so good condition as at the pres

The principal argument for the elee-
ton of Bill Allen is, that it will give us
more money, and ease up the hard times.
If Allen has such a potent power over
these things, why should we wait for his
reelection. He is now Governor and has
been for quite two years, and yet no sign
of relief has appeared. 1t is humbug-
deception to catch votes. The man in
the moon has rs much power to relieve
the country of its embarrassments as the
re election of Bill Allen has.-GdLipohs

All Diseases of the Blood.

If Vegetine will relieve pain, cleanse, purify
and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to
perfect health after trying different physicians,
many remedies, suffering for years, is it not
conclusive proof. if YOU are a sufferer, YOU can
be cured? Why is this medicine performing
such great cures? 1t works on the blood, in the
circulating fluid. 1t can truly be called the
Great Blood Purifier. The great source of dis
ease originates in the blood; and no medicine
that does not act directly upon it, to purify and
renovate, has any just claim upon public atten-

The Veteran John Neal Gives an I'M
pertinent Young Rongh His Deserts.

| A number of our oldest citizens, inclu-
ding John Neal, Judge Howard, T. c.
Hersey and others were riding up home
in the street cars, about P. M, as is
their wont, when two young roughs, per-
haps twenty-five or twentythree years
of age, jumped on the front platform of
the car, one of them putting a villainous
cigar. The front door was open and the
clouds of smoke rolling in the car almost
choked the occupants At last one of
the older gentlemen could stand it no
longer, and so remarked, at which one of
the others touched the smoker, saying
that the smoke was very offensive, and
that the rules of the company did not
permit smoking on the cars To this ap-
peal the man paid no more attention
than if he had been a statue. Mr.. John
Neal, leaning forward, remarked as fol
lows:
young man, that smoke is very often

us that SO, old man?" replied the
rough, lazily looking over his shoulder
at Mr.. Neal, without removing the cigar
from his mouth.
The color in. the old gentleman's face
rose steadily, but repressing his wrath he
again remarked young man, that
cigar must be put out. Smoking is not
allowed on the cars.
"Well, old man, what are you going to
do about it?' replied the rough.
With the quickness of lightning, Mr.
Neal made bound on that platform,
seized the cigar from the mans mouth,
and flung it into the street. With one
hand he grasped the rough by the nape
of the neck and with the other by the
left forearm, raised him off his feet, and
dashed him to the platform, and as he
placed his foot on him, he exclaimed in
quivering tones, Thank your stars,
young man, did not pitch you into the
street after your cigar"
The fellow was completely cowed
When we remember that Mr.. Neal is
eighty-four years old, the mere physical
energy and power displayed was some
thing remarkable. Every one will say
that he served the rough just right,

A Novel Method of Smuggling.

As the steamer Columbus was nearing
the Quarantine landing Tuesday, Inspec-
tor Kane noticed several large bags
thrown overheard. Suspecting they con-
tanned smuggled cigars, he had the YES
sci stopped, and, in company with In
spectors McCost and Hagan, jumped
into boat snd rowed after the mysteri-
Gus packages. Another row-boat had
similar intentions, and the occupant sue
ceeded in fishing up the bags, and i'm
mediately rowed for dear life toward
the Staten Island shore. The officers at
once gave chase, and after much diff
Guilty overhauled the boat and seized its
contents. The prize consisted of six bags
of cigars, in India rubber air-tight bags,
as large as mail-bags. The man was al.
lowed to go, but he gave some important
information to the officers. There were
many thousands of cigars in the bags,
and the seizure is looked upon as one OF
the most important made during the last
few years.-Nev York Express.

Lost In a Coal Mine.

The widow Gallagher's son James, II
years old, worked in a coal mine near
Dunmore, Pennsylvania, as a mule-boy.
He was in the employ of the Pennsyl-
vania Coal Co., and was a hard working
little fellow. He had an enemy among
the miners, one James Barrett, brute.
Barrett was in the habit of kicking and
cutting and otherwise abusing the boy
shamefully, and young Gallagher became
mortally afraid of his task-master and
tyrant. One day, in the mine, Barrett
raised his pick-ax, and running toward
Gallagher threatened to split his head
wide open. The boy ran from his tor
mentor In mortal terror, and entered the
mouth of an abandoned coal mine with
out knowing it. At length after assrr-
ing himself that he was not pursued he
stopped, and first found he was in
strange place. He had heard the miners
stories of horrible sufferings in aban-
doned mines, and became greatly fright
ened. He ran along the corridors to
find his way out, and could not. He
was lost. The mine lamp on his cap
grew dim, and finally went out, leaving
him in thick darkness. The echoes
which his calls for help sent ringing
through the subterranean world reached
no mortal ear. He was followed by
droves of aggressive rats, too, but he
went on and on as long as he could hold
out. The rats were ready to take pos
session of him as soon as he gave up,
and when he sat down to rest they scam
pered over him, apparently in high
glee of expectancy So he kept moving
on through this terrible solitude. At
length his memory failed him. A party
of miners went into the abandoned mine
to search for the boy. They found him
after short search, and brought him
up into the light of day amid the Joy of
the villagers. He was still alive, and af-
ter time revived sufficiently to tell so
much of his experience in the mine as
above related. He had been lost two
days and one night. The rats had
gnawed one of his hands so much that
it was necessary to have it amputated,
and two or three of his toes were eaten
off. The rats had also taken various
other bites out of him. His mind wan
dered, and now and then he would
shrek, "The rats are eating me up"
Drive them away" and then he would
cover in terror. These shrieking fits
became more frequent, and finally the
doctors pronounced the boy insane, and
he was taken to the lunatic asylum in
Danville. The miners routed James
Barrett out of town, and collected all his
clothes and other effects and publicly
burned them, as an expression of their
opinion of the brute.

lowing: Passengers on Conductor
Johnsons train on the Eastern railroad
have noticed at house close to the road,
Just beyond the North Beverly station,
on a piazza next them, beautiful little
girl of about 3 years old. She is always
there when Mr.. Johnson's train passes,
as he is near relative. She was born
on board O ship in the Pacific ocean.
Before she WAS three days old her mother
died. Before she was seven days old,
the ship was wrecked and sank. Her
father, who was Captain of the vessel,
the infant, and one sailor were saved IN
boat. The babe was wrapped in @
blanket and kept warm, and the sailo,
paid every attention to her and kept he,
alive with biscuit soaked in water, and
was hardly less attentive to the little
ones wants than her father. Ten DAYS
after the wreck the three were picked ur
by an English vessel and taken to Liver.

and the little one has been brought M
at the house of her grandparents, close

A PLUCKY WOMAN.

It was one of the handsomest packets
on the river, and among the passengers
bound for Vicksburg was a Georgian
and his wife, who had relatives in Mis-
sissippi.
He was large-sized, handsome-look-
ing man, and she was pleasant-looking
woman with blue eyes and short chestnut
curls. One would have said that she
would have screamed at tilt of the
boat.
He sat smoking with other gentlemen
after she had retired to her stateroom,
and the cabin was entirely clear of la
dies, when some one proposed game of
cards. In ten minutes after, half a
dozen men were shuffling cards over
cabin tables, and the Georgian was
matched against stranger to all on
board. He was quiet, courteous, we'll
dressed man, and had been taken for a
traveller in search of health. He was
lucky with his cards, but he did not
propose playing for stakes. 1t was the
nettled Georgian who proposed it. He
called himself champion hand at poker,
and when he found that he had met his
equal he determined to test the
strangers financial metal.
They had fifty dollars on the table
when the Captain looked into the cabin.
He caught the Georgian's eye and gave
him to understand that his opponent
was river blackleg, but the other gen
tlemen had dropped their cards and
crowded around, money was up, and the
information had come too late. Beside
the Georgian was fattering himself that
he could teach the courteous blackleg 9
| lesson.
1t was a very quiet group around tn,
table, and after the play had continued
for fifteen minutes the gentlemen spok,

minded of old times on the Mississippi

And he did.
There were no other cases, and when

she'd murder tbs first man who dared
lay hands on her. Four of the officers
surrounded her and carried her to the
vehicle, handcuffed her to the seat, and
the band threw orange peel at her red
nose and sang:

She ought 10 be Gagged the same as q bear,

will go to the old home. Andrews wife
died of grief, and his two children soon
