MEDICAL.
CENTAUR
M b N rs.

So nearly perfect are the recipes ofthese wonder
nj pain-sOothing and healing Centanr Liniments'
that we can confidently say they will alleviate
any pains arising from flesh, bone or muscle
arrangements. We do not pretend that they viii
mend broken leg, or exterminate bOils, 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 il par
ticularly adapted to all cases Of Rheumatism
Lumbago. Neuralgia. Erysipelas, Itch, SpraIns,
Chilblains, cuts, Bruises Stings, Poisons, Scalds
Sciatica, Weak Back, Pains in side. Wound S,
Weeping Sinews, Burns, Frosted Feet, Palsy,
Ear-ache, 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. 1t will extract the poison from
bites and stings, and viii cure burns and scalds
without scar. The following is but a sample oi
8 thousand similar testimonials:
ANTIOCH, ILL.,, Dec /, 1874.
Ny wife has for long time, been terrible suf-
feref from rheumatism She has tried many ply
slclans and many remedies, The only thing that
has given her relief is Centaur Liniment. I am
rejoiced to say this has cured her.
W. Il. 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
burns, &C.
One dollar, or even fifty cents invested in Gen.
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
sicians are called they frequently use this Lini
ment and of course they charge several pricss for
it.

with the following description of the sier-
ras in winter
Snow. Everywhere. AS far as
the eye can reach-ffty miles, look
ing southwark from the highest
white peak. Filling ravines and
gulches, and dropping from the
walls of canons in white shroud-like
drifts, fashioning the dividing ridge
into the likeness of a monstrous
grave, hiding the bases of giant
pines, and completely covering the
young trees and larches, trimming
with porcelain the bowl-like edges
of still, cold lakes, and undulating
in motionless white billows to the
edge of the distant horizon. Snow

Sierras en- the 18th of March, ls4s,

in white foculent masses, or dropping
in long level lines like white lances
from the tumbled and broken. heav-
ems. But always silently! The
woods were so checked with it, the
branches were so laden with it, 1t
had so permeated, filled and possess
ed earth and sky it had SO cushion
ed and muffied the ringing rocks and
echoing hills that all sound was
deadened. The strongest gust, the
hercest blast awoke no sigh or
complaint from the snow-packed,
rigid files of forest. There was no
cracking of boughs nor crackle of
underbrush the over laden branch
es of pine yielded and gave way
without a sound. The silence was
vast, measureless, complete?
Nor could it be said that any out

ward sign of life or motion changed
the fixed outlines of the stricken
landscape. Above, there was no
play of light and shadow, only the
occasional deepening of storm or
night. Below, no bird winged its
flight across the white expanse, no
beast haunted the confines of tie
black woods whatever of brute
nature that might have once inhab-
tied these solitudes had long since
fled to the low lands. There was no
track or imprint whatever foot
might have left its mark upon this
waste, each succeeding snowfall OBJ
liberated all trace or record. Every
morning the solitude was unbroken !;
a million tiny feet had stepped into
the track and filled it up. And yet,
in the center of this desolation, in
the very stronghold of this grim
fortress, there was the mark of
human toll.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BOILERS,

LOCKOUT.
PrTTsDURG, Doc. s. 1875.
The differences between the iron boilers heaters and
yoers and the manufacturers are not adjusted, and
The breach seems as wide At conference of
tho representatives from the association and the
pudders the former expressed a willingness to give
"a SO and the boilers offered to work for $5 per ton
put resolutey refused to accept any smaller amount
The matter was argued pro and The manufac-
lurers claimed that they could not in justice them
selves, continue running mills at higher rates than
d 30 per ton. The puddlers, on the other hand,
accept less than S. and that the profits of their en-
ployers would fully Justify them in paying tho
price asked. Tho manufacturers figured that an
average boiler would make SO per day double turn
and So rs ona single turn at the prices offered The
workmen claimed that they would be compelled TO
reduce the wages of their helpers nearly starvation
rates and then could not make the wages esti-
mated by the mill owners; and thus argument was
Kept up until late in the evening" and the conference
snay adjourned without reaching any conclusion.
Thus II stands but there has been secret meet
