POROUS PLASTERS.
Of Public Interest.

For thirty years there has been no improve
ment in the composition OF porous plaster.
The recent discovery of Capcinc and its addi-
tlon to our improved porous plaster has intro
auced to the consumers and the public an ar
tlcle OF progress and marked mpfovement.
The objection to the ordinary article is its
slow action. BESS0N'S CAPCINE' POROUS
PLASTER oyercomes this great objection by
efecting in a few hours that which the ordina-
ry porous plaster accomplishes in days and
weeks of continuous wear.
BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS PLAS rERs
are preferred to all others on the following
grounds
First--Their composition is of an improved
nature, and are combined with the recently
discovered vegetable principle - Capcine -
which, as powerful and unerring specific, has
never been equaed in the history OF true med
lcine. They operate with astonishing vigor
bring almost immediate relief, and cure more
speedily and with greater certainty than any
known linlment, plaster or compound.
Second-They possess all the merit of the or
dinary porous plaster, with above addition,
and will cure all the various difficulties for
which they have been esteemed in as many
hours as the ordinary article effects in days
and weeks of continuous wear.
Third-They are q genuine pharmaceutical
preparation. skillfully prepared. and of the
highest order Of merit, are purely vegetable,
contain neither metal nor mineral poisons in
dorsed by physicians, and are in no sense
patent medicine. SEABURY & JOHNSON,

WE read marvellous accounts of the
tapping of the gas reservoirs held under
the Allegheny Mountains, and the un-
heard-of illumination the burning gas
affords over whole district of country.
The whole is as wonderful as any vol.
canic eruption ever recorded. From
what fearful magazines of subterranean
reservoirs this amazing outburst of gas
may be derived, pent in by mountain
masses superimposed, even the imagina.
tion can only feebly conjecture. Could
it be possible to connect the facts con.
cerning this vast withdrawal of gas from
the mountain cayerns, with the phenom-
ena attending the earth's disturbance
at Richmond, the other day2 Their re.
lations may seem too remote to connect
the phenomena as cause and effect.
And yet, who can tell?

A sympathetic young man, hearing all
this, and feeling alarmed for the poor
lady out in the storm, inquired OF the
old gentleman why they didn't have heI

"Not room! Why, FL give her my
place; it's too badl"
"Not at all, sir, not at all. We
couldn't get her into this stage anyhow
Amazed at her prodigious dimemen'
slons, the kind young man said; swell.
sir, if my coat would be of any service tC
you she may have it," and suiting the
action to the word, he took off that gar.
ment and handed it to the old gentle
man.
"Irs. almost pity, sir, to get your
overcoat wet, but"
"Not at all, sir; by no means; pass il
up to her,"
The coat was accordingly passed up.
"HoW'll that do for her?" asked the
old gentleman.
"rip-top! Just the ticketl All right

the special SUBJECTS committed to their
consideration.
Certainly these committees may
do much to facilitate, and much
also to impede legislation. But
they can not by any means control it,
They may give shape to original bills,
but they can not prevent modification
and amendment in the House to any de.
gree that the individual members may
desire.
We are also inclined to believe
that the political consequence conferred
by appointment to the chairmanship OF
certain important committees is more
fancied than real. To the numerous
groups Immediately connected with
Congress, the Chairman of an important
Committee becomes, of course, con-
spicuous parsonage, because he is
spokesman of his committee. But
beyond that little group he is no bright
particular star by reason of his chair
manship.
The special reason why Speaker KERR
gave the Craftsmanship of the Committee
on Ways and Means to Morrison of Illi-
nois is not yet made obvious. Why be
did not put Sunset Cox there is perfectly
obvious: it was because Cox knew
nothing about the subject. The same
obvious reason exists for his not putting
Fernando Wood at the head OF the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations; for Wood
knows nothing about our Foreign Rela-
tions. So Mr.. KERR had the pluck to
put his thumb plump down upon some of
the old Bourbon leaders of his party,
and raise up new men to prominence.
Results only can show whether in so do
ing he were wise, or otherwise. We in
cline to the opinion that he was wise,
and that his party will ultimately be
strengthened by this new infusion OF
young blood.

The Outside Passenger.

1t was in the OLD days Of stage
coaches, and one of those huge, lumber
ing vehicles was plow!ng It's way be.
tween Boston and Salem in q driving
rain storm filed inside and outside with
jolly jam OF passengers. Among the
number OF the more fortunate insiders
was a respectable, bald-headed old gen.
tleman, who seemed to be very solici-
tous about lady riding ON the roof.
Every few minutes he popped out his
head regardless of the rain, and shouted
to some one above. "Well, how is she
now" and the answer came, "All

The rumored proposition OF a European
intervention in Cuban affairs will be
most coldly met by the people of this
country. There is not the slightest indi.
cation that the public sentiment of the
United States would even tolerate the
intervention of any European power fol
the settlement OF the difficulties in thai
Island, lying within sight from our own
coasts.
The rumor has probably had its origin
in some proposed Intervention by the
European powels in the affairs of Spaln
without any reference to Cuba. Some
intervention In the affairs of Spain
would certainly be in order. The civil
war that has SO long ragged there, and
with such fruitless results, is as dis.
graceful to the civilization of the age as
is the civil war in Cuba. Never has q
nation had more tender con.
sideration shown her than
has Spain during her years of tribula.
tion. But this consideration must not
be taken as license without limit to
prosecute fruitless and barbarous wars,
to the injury of the worlds commerce
and progress in the arts of peace. Eu-
rope might we'll intervene In Spanish ar
|5airs, as lying at her own doors; but in
Cuban affairs, as lying at our doors, we
desire NO European Intervention.
