AS the virtues of medicines can only be ascer
tanned by careful observation, it is to be regretted
that many of the drugs still prescribed By some
Physicians should retain place in materia
medica. AS an instance of this, that vile drug Bal
sam Copaiba furnishes example. About The year
1880 the Spaniards in the Island of San Domingo
having become afflicted with certain complaints,
thought according to the prevailing notion at that
time, that the remedy might be found where the
disease originated. Under this impression Balsam
Copaiba came into use, but never has nauseating
drug done injury, for it not only changes the
nature of the disease to a dreadful state than
the original, but it ruins the tone of the stomach
and brings Dyspepsia in its worst forms. To
void this drug and its effects the SAMARITAN s

p on America.

Mr. Martin FarQuhar Upper
prints in the Philadelphia Press,
in advance, a letter about America
written to a friend abroad. He
sportively says that the centennial
exhibition compared with other
exhibitions is as a Victoria Regia
to a common water lily, and he
declares that 'sfor mentals there
is not a better educated people on
the face OF the earth. Schools and
teachers, churches and chapels,
books and newspapers, are only
almost too abundant; except
among the newest emigrants from
Europe, it is difficult to find an
ignorant person, and their seems
to be no home where the children
are not habitually sent to school.
For morals, which include socials,
there is so vast a stride toward alb
solute temperance that America
may now be called a water drink
ing people. Several cases of Curl
Gus honesty have occurred to my
self, while the general good nature
and courtesy and even self-forget-
fitness of the bulk of those one
meets, are traits abundantly noti-
ceable. In this recent, strongly
contested election the patience,
goodness and law-abiding quie-
tude of immense crowds have
been strangely evidenced to a
travellers eve.

A Midnight Murder.
[Meriden MISS Comet.1


Last Thursday night, about
twelve O'Clock, Mr.. Edwards, liv-
ing five or six miles i'm the country
and father of DR. Ewards, Of this
city, was shot by John Lackett
living In the neighborhood, from
the effects of which he soon died.
Lackett went out to Mr. Edwards,
where his wife was, at a late hour
aud demanded that she accompa-
ny him home. She being in deli
cate health Lackett was prevailed
upon by a lady present to let his
wife remain until morning. This
seemed to enrage him and he slap
ped her over. In the melee which
ensued Mr. Edwards, 4 man over
seventy years of age, very feeble,
decrepid and really not a rational
man, approached him, when he
was knocked down the second and
third times. He got hold of agun,
the contents of which he discharg-
ed at his antagonist, but ii is sup
posed he missed his aim, or more
probably he never aimed at all.
Thief fire was returned by Lackett,
shooting him three times with a
pistol, from the effects Of which he
died. Lackett immediately fled.
and up to this time has not been
heard from. The affair has Great
ed a good deal of sympathy for the
relatives of the deceased, and dill
gent search will be made for the
murderer who committed this
foul midnight deed.

RUSSIAN
The Cost of Train.

AT tue lime when the first open
court of law Was established in
Russia, a lady, dressed with the
utmost elegance, was walking on
the Moscow promenade, leaning
upon her husbands arm, and let
ting the long train of her rich
dress sweep the dust and dirt Of
the street.
A young officer coming hastily
from a side street, was so careless
as to catch one of his spurs in the
lady's train, and in an instant a
great piece was torn out of the
costly but frail material of the
dress.
II beg a thousand pardons,
maoam," said the officer, with a
polite bow, and then was about
passing on, when he was detained
by the lady's husband.
You have insulted my wife,
Nothing was farther from my
intention, sir. Your wife's long
dress is to blame for the accident
which / sincerely regret; and /
beg you once more to receive my
apologies for any carelessness on
my part Thereupon he attempt
ed to hasten on.
You will not escape so,' said
the lady, with her head thrown
back in a spirited way, To day is
the first time Ihave Worn this uress

not to detain me. am obliged to

two hundred rubles-I cannot re-

your dress, yet | beg your pardon
for not being more cautious
You shall not stir, sir. That
you are obliged to go on duty is
nothing to us. My wife is right F.;
the dress must be made good
The officer grew pale.
