She Cured Him.

AT last she completely cured him.
For months she had patiently en-
dured the pangs so many thousand
of young wives have 10 suffer. Al
most every morning at breakfast the
heartleSS husband expressed the
hope that he might live to see the
day when he could get such coffee as
he used to have at home, or such
corn bread as his mother was wont
to make and bake. At dinner the
meat was overbaked in the range.
To be sure his mother used to roast
the meat in an uld-faShioned Dutch
tin oven, and the piece was always
done to turn-the last turn of the
revolving spit. Those days were
forever gone, but he might and
ought 10 get such green apple pie
with new cheese as his mother used
to give him. At length the long
suffering wife rose in her wrath, up
set the table, sending the dishes and
their contents crashing to the carpet,
strided over to her aStounded hus-
band, gave him box on the ear
which knocked him off his chair, and
remarked: "There's clip over the
head for you such as your mother
used to give you when you was 4
boy, gol dern her" There was do
mestic peace and quiet in that house
thereafter, with never even an aIIu-
sion TO the maternal cookery and
comforts of by-gone days.

UNREDEEMED PLEDGEs.-When
full protection is accorded to every
American citizen, white or black, in
every State of the Union; when a
Republican is as safe in Georgia as
Democrat is in Michigan; when life
and property are secure from the
raids of midnight assassins and plum
derers; when the simple utterance,
81 am an American citizen!" becomes
better protection to citizenship
than the rifle or the knife; when the
full fruits of the war are accepted
with the same good faith at the
South as at the North; when the
national debt is so far reduced as to
be no longer felt as burden; when
our currency becomes as valuable as
gold, and the credit of the nation
equal to that of any other govern
ment; when our taxes are cut down
to the lowest possible limit, and all
sections of the country become pros
porous through unity of purpose and
harmony of action-then the people
NAV consider the claims of Demo
cracy. Until these sacred pledges
are made good, the Republican party
must, and for the public veal, ought
TO continue ut the head OF govern
mental affairs.

A Florida correspondent of the
Atlanta Herald in the course of an
interesting communication regarding
Florida fishermen, says: ''The best
fishermen in Florida are the pelicans
and ospreys. A pelican costumes
about peck a day. They flock
about the straits and inlets by thou
sands. Supposing there are two mil
lion pelicans in Florida-and there
are certainly more than that-they
would eat 100000 bushels of fish
each day, or 1872, 100000 bushels per
year. The millions upon millions of
white and blue cranes, herons cur
lews, gulls, fshhawks, kingfshers
and other waterfowl, devour thou
sands of bushels of fish every twen-
four hours. An experienced crack
er estimates that 100000 bushels a
day are required to feed the birds of
Florida alone. This would make
225, 100000 bushels each year. Add
to this the billions of fish swallowed
by sharks, bass and others, and the
sum total is 2,OoO,OOO,OO0 bushels
destroyed by the feathered and fin
ny fishermen on the peninsula i'll -
months. At first glance these figures
appear enormous, but let any man
make his own estimate, and carefully
figure it up, and he will find them
under instead of over"

Claimants Messenger has the fol-
lowing: under this title lin French)
DIR. Burg has published one of. the
most curious dissertations we ever re-
member having seen, and which we
think contains advice which may be
useful to such of our readers as are
afflicted with weakness in the chest.
He begins with stating the question
fairly: care defamation, singing
and, above all, wind instruments
dangerous exercises for persons of
weak or delicate constitutions and
more or less predisposed by birth TO
serious diseases of the respiratory
organS?" Most physicians, he OBJ
serves, will answer in the affirmative;
he takes the contrary ground, sup
ported by what we deem startling
evidence. DR.. Burg, it may be re-
membered, was the first who pro-
posed copper as specific in cholera,
on the ground that workingmen con-
stantly handling that metal had
traversed the epidemic of I849 with
impunity. In order to establish this
fact he had visited a variety of large
workshops, and among others, those
of manufacturers of wind instru-
ments. On one of these occasions,
Nj. Sax gave him the following in
formation, which we here repeat al
most word for word: 'Besides chol-
eric immunity, our wOrkmeh enjoy an
other, ,theyare free from consumption.
Many philanthropIsts on seeing our
young military musicians WELD the
enormous instruments we make have
sorrowed over the few years those
poor fellows would have, to live.
We'll, it is a mistake. All men who
make it their profession to try wind
instruments made at the various fac
tories, before sending them off for
sale, all, without any exception to
my knowledge, are free from pulmo-
nary affections. l have known many
such who on entering upon this pro-
fession were very delicate, and who,
though their duty obliged them to
blow for hours together, enjoyed
perfect health after certain time.
am myself an instance of this. My
mother died of consumption; eight
children of hers fell victims to the
same disease, and only three of us
survive, and we all three of US play
on wind instruments. The day is
not far distant, perhaps, when ply
sicians will have recourse to our
dreaded art to conquer pulmonary
diseases"

Tell me, froggie, what he said,
When 50 quick to You he sped,
For I saw him hopping, hopping.
Till beside you he was stopping;
Then your heads went close together,
And heard a sigh, or rather,
Vast the bliss a yelling up
From your overfowing cup:
Froggie. tell me what he said,
When he quickly to you sped.
And III tell you what my lover
Says to me while he does hover
BY my side when sinks the sun,
And they day is almost done;
Must froggie, first begin?
Nay! III not the charm break in.
Tell me, froggie, tell me, do,
What he then could say to you,
For I fain would now be knowing
How Sir Frog his love was showing.
When so quick he sped to you,
While I CHANGED to be in view;
Tell me, froggie, It's no harm
Nay, 'twouId only break the charm!

DEMORALIzED DEMOCRACY.
The Party GoIng 70 the BAD.

Ahc Eafty Going 10 the bad.
y thoughtful man cannot just now
survey the wondrous field of Demo
cratic politics without 4 feeling even
stronger than disgust. Wherever
he dblS he will see in the Demo-
scr%tic leaders only sort Of fa5uouS
and purblind misconduct, which for
ces oHc to think they have lost the
art OF governing. In the West, where
politics are most lively, we see Demo
Gratis supporting iu1ation, which
means reputation, dishonor and
general uin; and DO man of them all
with sufficient courage to enter
manly protest against the blunder of
his party. But this is not all. Il is
not enough that they should deal
with the financial question in Ohio,
Kentucky and elsewhere as though
they believed the American people
a set Of common swindlers. We see
them lending themselves in Ohio to
an attack on the common schools as
though it were not a fact that nothing
is so dear to the mass Of the Ameri-
can people, nothing is guarded by
them SO jealously, as their common
school system.
If we turn to the city of New
York, matters are no better. There
is no agreement among the Demo
cratic leaders. Kelly is so carefully
and vigorously turning his compeers
out of Tammany that it now seems
probable there will be no Tammany
organization left by next August.
The leading Democrats are playing
a game of cut-throat with each other,
and are so intent on Staying their
rivals that they give no thought to
a policy. There is Mr.. Tilden, to
be sure. He is New York's can
didate for the presidency, but he has
very nearly succeeded already in
counting himself out. He appears
to be demoralized by the eminence
he has reached. He challenges the
remarks of the respectable public by
his whispered conferences with the
athlete of the Democracy, and as
though that were not enough, he has
been hippodroming about the state
of late, in manner which has made
even his friends smile.

The French Prime Minister has
enjoined upon his official subordin-
ates to be more careful and legible
in their handwriting; and there are
few official regions in the world
where the same injunction would
not be useful. Gentlemen in pub
lie life are too apt to write wretched
scrawls, there being a saying afOat
that great men, as a rule, are bad
penmen. Silence, however, no more
implies wisdom than does bad pen
mansh1p genius. The great men
who have written bad hands are ex-
ceptionaL Napoleon and Byron pro-
duced, it is true, strange hieroglyp-
hics, especially when they signed
their names; but Washington, Jeffer-
son, the Adames, and indeed all our
Presidents, excepting perhaps Jack
son and Harrison, wrote good and
and some of them very elegant hands ;
the same may be said of Clay, Ben
ton and Calhoun, among politicians,
and Irving, Hawthorne, Longfellow,
Bryant, Prescott, Tackeray, Bulwer.
Tennyson and Scott, among men OF
letters. And who are to be named
above these? Junius wrote a remark
able-beatiful hand; and Sterne's "Sen
timental Journey" as seen in the
original in the British Museum, is
grateful for the eye to rest upon.

EN- rs.

soneary perfect are the recipes ofthese wonder |
full pain-soothing and healing Centaur Liuiments,
That we confidently say they will alleviate
any palns arising from flesh, bone or muscle
arrangements. We do not pretend that they will
mend broken leg, or rexterminate bOiIs, but
even in such cases they reduce the Inflammation
and stop the pain. Nor can we guarantee the
the proper results where the body is poisoned
by Whiskey. Temperance is as necessary to
proper physical, as mental condition.
The White Centaur LIniment is par
ticularly adapted to all cases OF Rheumatism,
Lumbago. Neuralgia, Erysipelas, Itch, Sprains,
Chilblains, cuts, Bruises Stings, POsons, Scalds,
Sciatica, Weak Back, Pains in side, Wounds,
Weeping Sinews, Burns, Frosted Feet, Palsy,
Earache, Tooth ache, Headache, Ulcers, Old Sores,
Broken Breasts, Sore Nipples, Sore Throat, Group.
Diphtheria, etc. The most of these complaints the
Centaur Liniment will cure; all of them it W i'll
benefit. It will extract the poison from
bites and stings, and will cure burns and scalds
without scar. The following is but a sample of
a thousand similar testimonials
ANTIOCH ILL, Dec. 1. 1874.
My wife has for a long time, been terrible sui
ferer from Rheumatism. She has tried many ply
sicians and many remedies. The only thing that
has given herrelief is Centaur Liniment. I am
reJOlceQ 10 say J01S mas cured ner.
W. II. RING, Postmaster"
1t is an indisputable fact that the Centaur Lini
ments are performing cures never before
effected by any preparation in existence-like
chronic rheumatism of thirty years standing.
Strengthening fingers and joints which have been
standing for six years, taking the soreness from
barns. &C.
One dollar, or even fifty cents invested in Cen
taur Liniment, will be in reach when an accident
occurs, and will do more good than any amount OF
money paid for medical attendance. When ply
sicans are called they frequently use this Lini-
ment, and of course they charge several prcss for
it.
THE YELLOW CENTAUR LINIMENT
is adapted to the tough skin, muscles and flesh of
the animal creation. Its effect on severe cases os
SPAWN. sweeny, Wind Gall, Big-Head and Poll
Evil are little less than marvellous.
Messrs. ]. Mcclure & Co., Cor. Elm and From
Sts., Cincinnati, OHIO, say:
In our neighborhood number of teamsters are
using the Centaur Liniment. They pronounce it |
superior to anything they have ever used. We |
sell as high four to five dozen bottles per month
to owners of horses and mules.
We have volumes of testimonials describing |
cures of sprains, kicks, gals, poll evil bighead
and even founders, which are little less than mar
vels. No owner of an animal can offord to be
without bottle of Centaur Liniment which may
prove worth twenty INES its cost.
