The Dog and the Baker.

Sir Walter Scott tells of one of his
dogs that it one day furiously attacked
the baker, and was with great difficulty
called of. But as the dog observed the
baker coming every day to leave bread
for the family, he began to regard him in
a favorable light, and in time the dog and
the baker became great friends. One
day Sir Walter was telling somebody
how the dog had attacked the baker, and
Immediately he began the story the dog
skulked into the cornor of the room
turned his face to the wall, hung down
his ears, and lowered his tail, anG dis
played every sign of being heartily
ashamed Of himself. But when Sir Wal
ter came to the end of the story, and
said, ''But Tray didn't bite the baker,
the dog turned round in moment
| jumped and frisked about, and was evil
dently quite restored to his own good
opinion. To try the dog, Scott repeated
the story in different tones OF voice, and
| in the midst even of other conversation
but it was always the same Directly
he began, the dog crept into the corner
but when he came to "But Tray didn'l
bite the baker," he always capered back
again in triumph.

POROUS pLAsggRs.
OF Public Interest.

For thirty years there has been no lmprove-
ment in the composition Of porous plaster.
The recent discovery of Capeine and s.addl-
tion to our improved porous plaster has intro
duced to the consumers and the public an ar
ticle OF progress and marked Improvements
The objection to the ordinary article is its
slow action. BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS
PLASTER overcomes this great objection by
effecting in few hours that which the ordina-
ry porous plaster accomplishes in days and
weeks of continuous wear.
BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS PLAS TIERS
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 speelnc, mas
never been equaled 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 liniment, 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 genuine pharmaceutical al
preparation. skillfully prepared, and of tine
| highest order Of merit, are purely vegetable,
| contain neither metal nor mineral poisons, in :
dorsed by physicians, ami are in no sense a
patent medicine. SEABURY q JOHNSON,

hls gun iu nearly every country Of the
world, and he says that there are ssmill-
sons and millions in it," He has con-
structed two similar weapons that are to
be tested by the Government; one OF
them has 1l&-inch bore, and the bore OF
the other is about six inches. The latter
piece, it is thought, will throw ball
from fifteen to twenty miles. Mr. @. ?.
Young, of New York, Is interested with
Mr.. Haskell in the invention.
Though Mr.. Haskell does not consider
that he is the inventor OF the gun, it is,
however, his genius and ingenuity that
have brought it to the standard of prac
tical utility. A MIR. Lyman, after whom
the weapon has been named, first dis
covered the principle on which it is con
structed. The power of the gun may be
understood from the assertion that II
will send forth ball al. the rate OF 5000
feet second, while the greatest veloc
ity hitherto attained was that of abou
1850 feet to the second. A trial of the
gun was announced for Thursday, al

but through delay in mounting the can
non it was not made. A long ant

The Bourbons for Bristow.


The Kentucky Bourbons, one OF the most
interesting parties in the country, and whose
organ is the Louisville Courier Journal, gi7e
Bristow a capital send-off as Presidential
Candidate. But this support will do Bristow
harm. There is large element In the Re-
publican party composed of those stern, sin
cere men who believed the war was dispense
ton of Gods providence for the abolition of
slavery, who pressed forward the impeach-
ment of Andrew johnson and who will not
take candidate whose indorsers are Beck and
Stevenson, of Kentucky, and the Louisville
CopritT-JourRal. The Republicans, at least
the radical wing of them, have lad enough OF
JohnsoDism to last for generation or two.
Without this wing the Republicans will be as
helpless as the Democratic party would be
without its rebel wing.
There are two classes that must not be left
out of political charlottesville abolitionists
and the rebels. The Republican party de-
ponds upon the one, the Democrats upon the
other. Each of these classes is composed of
meu Of courage, principle and ability. One
side fought to save slavery, the other to de-
stroy it. They would fight the battle over
again to morrow if the same conditions ex-
listed. To expect to run either party without
them would be to expect a man to live with
out his spinal column. The ''reformers," the
saints, the trufte hogs, the old maids, the
handles, and all the modern brood of politi-
clans may plane and chip and sandpaper the
platform as much as they please; but unless
they Ike a platform and a candidate that
will satisfy these two vast, sincere and pre-
ponderating elements neither will get on.
Nothing, therefore, will Go Bristow more harm
than the Support" he is now receiving from
Kentucky.

THE letter published in this mornings
issue from Mr.. Leopold. one of thu commits
sioners of the Freedman's Bank, reflected
upon so severely and unjustly in the late
speech of Mr.. Bradford in the House, shows
that he has not been heard regarding any
allegations against him, although he has
earnestly requested that he be brought
before the committee investigating. the
affairs of the bank. Mr.. Bradford, catching
quick the sided statements secured from
witnesses in the recent councils Of the Star
Chsmber, hurriedly seizes the first oppor-
tunity to ventilate them through the me
diun Of long winded and illogical ora
ton, in which he bitterly arraigns Com
missioner Leopold for charges that were
made in secret against him, and which he
now in a lucid a2d frank statement posi-
lively denies, and the denial cannot but
carry conviction to the public mind.
When Mr.. Bradford seized upon the allie
cations of irresponsible parties, and at
tempted to injure the character and repu-
tation of man so well and so favorably
known in this community as is Commits
sioner Leopold, he put upon himself q
burden which is greater than he can bear

THE AMERICAN INeUIsTTIoN,

Every man, no matter how handle his
sphere, has his rights, which no other
man or set of men can invade with impu-
nifty. That is to say, such has been the re-
garded condition of the American citizen
heretofore, but just now this nation has
entered upon a new order of things. The
House of Representatives of the American
Congress has set up within the Capitol
some forty secret inquisitions, some Of
which have proved as unjust, tyrannical
and cruel as were the inquisitions of Spain
in earlier ages. The more revolving
features of these modern places of torture
are that citizens are called within their
walls, put on the stand, and under the die
tation Of badgering lawyers from some
rural district are made to say. what the
committee desires to have said to answer
their purposes, and that which is foreign
from the real facts of the case. Instances
have been brought TO our notice wherein
Illnesses have been threatened with ar
- 40 har of the House because
they would not answer 10 49,. tho cor,
mittee when the facts lay in quite another
direction.
These slaughter houses OF reputation are
at work with unusual zeal smirching the
reputation Of some officer of the Govern
ment by CT parte testimony that is nodded
and shaped under the dictation of those
who run them in the interest of the Demo-
Cratic party. No opportunity is given by
some OF these committees for defense or
explanation. The Detective Press is loaded
down with the poisonous exhalations of
these committee. rooms, aud regulations are
sacrificed without the remotest chance of
saving them through the interposition of
truth aid justice. The dead line of per-
soral character is as distinctly drawn in
these secret committee rooms as was the
dead line for the starving prisoners at An
Jacksonville, and the same demoniac spirit
that ruled there holds court in many if not
all these Congressional inquisitions. The
fairest reputation Of the best of men can be
destroyed through the one. sided out-giv-
1ngs of these committee rooms, and there
Is nc power to avert or redress. The De-
techve Press reeks with the malaria of
defamation that they send forth, and the
time has come when no official IF the Re-
publican faith escapes the dirt that they
cast forth. Where are all the sacred rights
of American citizenship that we have
boosted of for nearly century? Sunk in
the pool Of partisan hate and Confederate
revenge in this Centennial year? The
shock Of a rebellious war was far less mis-
chievous to those rights which are sacred
to every citizen, than this Confederate on
slaught upon reputation which is made in
ambush through the committee. rooms of
the House of Representatives.

The Atlanta (Ga.) Consultation, speaking OF
the Democratic nomination, says: "Under no
circumstances, we hope, will the name of any
Southern man, for patent reasons, be present
ed for the Vice Presidency. The nomination
of Southern man would insure the defeat,
we fear, Of the ticket" There Is living
truth in this acknowledgment. If the De-
mocTacy attempts to select its candidate from
the South It will have to accept some one who
was connected with the rebellion, either in q
military or civil capacity. Such selection
would not be Objectionable to majority of the
Bourbons, but with the War Democrats 1t
would receive positive opposition. There are
many good men in the South who would do
honor to the ticket, but It would be dificult to
find one, under the present Temperament Of
the American people, that would poll full
party vote.
