CEASES COMPOUND has acquired really an en-
viabe reputation; in fact, it has met with un-
preceden ted success. Never has there been
medicine before the people that has given such
universal satisfaction. Those who once use it
will not be without it. All look upon it as
blessing in time of affection, an d children who
can but lisp it's name call for it when they are
suffering with aches and pains. They have the
evidence of hundreds of our best citizens, who
claim for it as family medicine that it has no
equal, and we advise all who are suffering from
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, or aches and pains of
any kind to try it, as it will surely give imme-
diate relief. 1t is also highly spoken of by
those who have used it in cases of Bruises,
Spralns Sore Throat. &c. 1t is home medi-
cine and home enterprise, and worthy the at
tention of those who stand in need of a good
family medicine. Read a few of these cert;f

Not Quite SO Anxious.

People in the West are becoming less
keen to 20 the Centennial, as the time ap-
proaches. 1t appears to be too much Of a
skinning operation all around. The rail-
road companies seem determined to keep
the tariff up to a high mark and hotels
and boarding houses in Philadelphia have
prepared to 60 through their customers,
without mercy. In fact, everybody in
Philadelphia is calculating to get rich by
skinning strangers. To cap the climax, the
city is filling up with thieves, prostitutes,
and other dangerous characters, who are
renting the finest houses in the most fash
ionable quarters of the city, where they
will spare no effort to entrap the unwary.
Even the Philadelphia papers are sounding
notes Of warning against the mass of vice
and corruption which will be left In the
city after the rush subsides.-TIoy CHG.

A Lady who was Not at Home

A lady OF this place was quietly sitting
at her sewing one day last week, when she
observed neighbor approaching the house
whom she did not care TO see She quickly
dropped her work and stepped into a closet,
80 as not TO be "at home" 10 her caller. The
closet door closed with a spring and i'm
prisoned the lady. The caller, finding the
lady abseut, did not stop, but when the
lady tried to open the door she discovered,
alas, that she was a prisoner. The lady
realized that she was consuming the air very
fast, yet she was powerless to release herself
from her prison. She remained in the closet
about four hours, and when her husband
returned home at supper time he missed his
wife, but thought nothing about it. Hav-
ing occasion to look into the closet, he dis
covered his wife lying inanimate on the
floor He quickly drew her inanimate form
out, when the air revived her, and thus was
prevented what a few hours longer might
have proved sad catastrophe.- Whitehall

POLITICAL ITEMS.

Judging by the municipal elections In
Indiana. the State il going back on the
Democracy.
The Democracy are reminded by
friendly Virginia paper, that " between the
kpaves and the fools" it il very possible
for them to lose the country again. 1t GER
tainly does look that way, just now.
Failing 10 secure a Democratic major
ity in the Louisiana Senate by any other
means, the White League have commenced
numbering the Republican members. On
the % instant, Senator ii. NJ. Twitchell
was shot and MORALLY wounded, and his
brother-in-law, George King, killed, while
crossing the river at Coushatta, by an un
known man, armed with repeating rifle
Senator Twitchell was prominent Repub
Iican of Northern Louisiana. His brother
WAS murdered by the White Leaguers, neal
the same place, in 1874.
1t will be remembered that dnring the
Forty-third Congress, as the result OF
spirited encounter between Gen. Butler and
John Young Brown, of Kentucky the lat
ter was reprimanded by Speaker Blaine, D!
order of the House, which passed resolu
ton OF censure. A few days ago, on mo
ton OF Mr.. Lamar, that portion OF the reso
luton charging Mr.. Brown with pTevarlca
ton was rescinded. Mr.. Blaine stated thai
he was convinced that Brown WAS led away
by the excitement of the moment
and intended no prevarication.

TOO MUCH SMELLING.

The new Independent paper in New
York, the Public, thus pays IFS respects &c
the methods of investigation, adopted by
the Democratic House Of Representatives
Undoubtedly there is general impress
sion that the Democratic House has done
rather too much smelling, and not enough
work. Figuratively speaking, the Houst
wears too much nose and too broad a grin
for perfect beauty. Nevertheless, this ma
tional housekeeping has been much need
cd, and we have waited too long Tor 1t
But the Democrats will lose ground if they
show disposition to magnify faults into
crimes, or to stretch investigation beyond
the limit of justice and decency. In many
recent performances that spirit has been
shown by some members of The party, and
there are some symptoms already of re
action in public opinion.
