temper This "CURE" expels the miasmatic
poison of FEVER AND AGUE from the system,
and prevents the development of the disease, if
taken on the first approach Of its premonitory
symptOms Il is not only the best remedy ever
yet discovered for this class of complaints, but
also the cheapest. The large quantity we sup.
ply for a dollar brings it within the reach Of
everybody; and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, everybody should
have IT, and use it freely both for cure and pro-
lection. 1t is hoped this price will place it within
the reach of all-the poor as well as the rich,
great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no Qui-
nine or mineral; consequently it produces no
qunism or other injurious effects whatever upon
the constitution Those cured by 1t are left us
healthy as If they had'never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
Of the masmatic poison. A great variety of dis
orders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothache, EaraChe, Catarrh, Asth-
ma palpitatiun, Painful Affection Of the Spleen,
Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis,
and arrangement eff the Stomach, all Of which,
when originating in this cause, put on the In.

consequently cures them all alike. 1t is an in.
valuable protection to immigrants and persons

rious districts. Ii taken occasionally Or daily
while exposed to the infection, that will be ex.

Hence it is even more, valuable for protection
than cure; and few will ever suffer from Inter-

ton this remedy affords.

The Business Outlook for 1876.

McKillop & Sprague's Commercial
Agency in reviewing the past year and
forecasting the future feels warranted
in anticipating general improvement
in business for 1875. No doubt some
of our readers may suggest that such a
prophecy requires small inspiration,
since things mercantile have been so
dropping for year that Improvement
cannot well be deferred much longer.
But if we compare the December of
1874 with the same month Of 1873, we
shall have little difficulty in believing
that the tide has turned, and the march
of upward progress once more set in.
In point of fact, there have been no
more mercantile failures this year than
were gazetted the year before, and if
1873 were credited Cor charged) with
the bankruptcies and financial dis
tresse, really belonging to it, the pres.
ent year would have the better record
of the two as regards failures among
business men.
Moreover, reasonable ground for
hopeful prediction is furnished by the
fact that, during the past twelvemonth.
our people, including the mercantile
and trading class, have been schooled
in economy. Indebtedness has been
largely diminished, values have been
reduced, and probably Si00, 600, 600 will
fairly represent the sum that has been
economical during 1874. Then the
crops have been good, the rural dis
tricts are in sound condition, and both
in town and country much of the de-
moralization foisted upon us by the
war has been sloughed off, Business
men are less speculative in their habits
and ventures, and, like children who
have been burned, they have now a
wholesome dread of the fire. Hence,
we may calculate upon a somewhat
general return to the good old methods
of doing business and a consequent re-
establishment of old-fashioned conf
dence between all classes of the COM
munity.-New York Evening Mail.

A Story of Ben Franklin.

A little incident worth relating hap
pened to Ben after he had become a
married man and was living in small
village down in Connecticut. J. w.
Dusenberry's great circus and rnenao-
erie just arrived from Blossenburg, and
was going to give a performance in
the evening, and Ben's oldest boy was
seized with an irresistible desire to at
tend. So at the dinner table he asked
permission of his father to attend the
circus in the evening. "No, mol Ny
son, you must not go to the show. It
is an unfit place for me, as l consider
it; how much more dangerous must it
be for you / will not allsw son of
mine to attend a circus performance
where myself would blush to be seen.
Go to bed, my boy, and your mother
and L will go to prayer meeting. To-
morrow | will buy you testament for
your obedience -
He went TO bed. but not to sleep.
An hour afterward Ben and his wife
might have been seen seated on top
board under the brilliantly lighted
circus tent. Ben's face glowed with
enjoyment, and his jaws worked indus
trlously upon a big end of twisted dog
tail tobacco. Once he bowed his head
and allowed half pint of juice to issue
from his mouth and descend between
the seats.
A smothered cry of pain came up from
below.
Said old Ben: Gracious, I do be-
lieve I have spitten in some ones face"
Said his wife: "Too bad but, oh
just see that man bend the crab % and
they both became engrossed in the antics
of the clown.
Next morning, at breakfast, this boy
appeared with swollen eye.
Said his father i y son, what ailest
thine optic ?"
"Some blamed fool spit in-that is
it is darned sore. | don't know what
ais it, !" said the confused lad.
Ben and his wife exchanged significant
glances and wisely held their peace, and
the promised testament wasn't alluded
to afterward by either father or son.

A Texas Duel.

Manning and Molett, rival physicians
in Giddings, Texas, quarreled, as most
rival physicians do. They agreed to
settle their difficulty with knives in
quiet place in the woods just out of
town. There were no seconds or spec
tators, and each of the physicians took
along lint and bandages to dress his
wounds. Their accounts of. the fight
are alike, and as follows: The
weapons were long bowie knives. They
stripped to the waist, and at the first
onslaught got such firm hold of each
other that the weapons could not be
used. After long struggle they sepa-
rated and stood warily watching for a
chance. As they at length rushed
together Manning received a slight stab
in the neck and Molett q more serious
cut across the arm. They stopped long
enough for each to dress his own wound,
and then faced for another round. With
great caution, and many feints and
lodges, they spent what they say
seemed like half an hour before coming
together. Finally Molett caught Man,
ning's head under his arm, and, while
for an instant he was able to hold him
in that position, stabbed him deeply
twice in the breast but Manning, with
his arm free, was able at the same time
to plunge his knife into Moiett's back.
These serious stabs ended the fight.
Molett was able to reach his surgical
appliances and attend to his wound.
Manning tainted, and fell insensible
and bleeding. After attending to his
own hurt, Molett says he was about to
go away and leave his adversary to
bleed to death, but his better nature
dominated, and with considerable effort
he saved Manning's life. Assistance
soon came, and they were taken to their
homes, where they will be confined a
long time by their injuries.-Ne,o York

A TALE OF HORROR.

TIE Mountain Meadow Massacre of
lS57--First and Only Authentic His
tory of the Horrible Slaughter--One
Hundred and Thirty-five Innocent
ssmisrants Ruthlessiy Butchered--
The Deed Executed by the Mormon
Militia.
The Chicago Tribune prints the first
authentic account of the Mountain
Meadow massacre that has ever been
given to the world. 1t is written by a
gentleman who has long resided in
Southern Utah, and who has expended
much time and labor in collecting the
facts and incidents embraced In his
narrative. We give the closing portion
of this thrilling and bloody chapter Of
Mormon history
PREPARING FOR THE MASSACRE
From the sworH affidavlts of those who
participated in the slaughter it is con-
clusiveiy established that Brig. Gen.
George A. Smith, Col. William III.
Dame. Lieut. Col L. G. Haight and
Maj. John ID. Lee held a council of
war at Parowan. They determined
upon the place, the manner, and all the
minor details of the massacre. Where
the California road crosses the Santa
Clara Canyon the crime was to be per-
petrated. Shut In between the per-
pendicular walls of rock, the very
wagons we're to be piled up as a block
ads to prevent the escape of a single
soul To make doubly sure, however,
Ira Hatch was sent, with others, be-
yond the canyon to the muddy" to
cut off stragglers. Guards were also
placed at Buckhorn Springs, nearly
seventy miles this side of the Meadows,
and at all the springs and watering
places near Cedar City and Parowan.
These guards would be certain to dis
cover and shoot down any fugitives who
might accidentally escape.
The Utah militia received a positive
military order to report for duty. The
very language of this written order was
that they must come EARNED and equip
ped rs the law directs, and prepared
for field operations: A highly respect
pened to be lying on one side of high
alobe wall while the order was being
read to two men on the other side. He
did not dare leave for fear of be-
ing discovered. and was forced to
listen to the conversation. They were
directed to be in readiness within one
hour, with forty rounds OF ammunition.
These two men knew the importer their
instructions, and sat down and cried
like children at the thought of the hor-
nble deed they were compelled to per-
FORM They both said they would
rather leave the Territory and desert
homes and families than to engage in
the bloody work. To refuse to comply
with the order, however, was certain
death, for the guards stationed at the
watering places rendered escape impos-
Ible.
BRADY FOR THE SLAUGHTER.
From Cedar City the enigrants pro-
oeeded southw west to the Meadows, q dis
tance of about forty miles. Camping at
TIE Meadows, they were quietly resting
their cattle and gaining strength to
oross the desert. Suddenly, unexpect-
sdly, and fercely, on Monday morning,
