TuE emigration from Ireland is no
longer what it was ten or fifteen or TWEEN
ty years ago. Only little more than
tii.y thousand persons emigrated last
year, and tho promise is that this year
the number will be even less-less than in
any year since 1851. This shows that the
situation of the people is improving, that
the evils otoverpopulation have been al
leviated by the vast emigration OF the
pas, quarter Of a century. It indicates
perhaps still moro that the bad times in
this country have discouraged intending
emigrants from crossing the ocean. The
steamship lines between here and Europe
are either making no money or losing
money. They feel the loss OF the pass
age money Of emigrantS. The Centennial

WELL DONE

CONGRESS adjourned on the 18th
inst. A great dea! of important
work has been pat through, under
the demands of the House sustained
by popular pressure, in the way of
retrenchment, vestigation, and the
suppression of corruption. The
House has relieved the country Of
thirty millions of taxation has
broken mp several Infamous Rings,
has suppressed great deal of fraud,
has driven Belknap from office, and
has shown up monstrous amount of
rascality. For the good it has done
for the wrongs it has prevented, for
the crimes it has punished, and for
the exposures it has made, we give
it credit. 1t has had to struggle
with the Republican power in the
Senate, with the President in the
White House, and with all the CON.
bined forces of Grantism. BY the
time the next session assemblies, we
trust that Samuel j. Tilden will be
President elect.

PERMANENT CURE FOR CANCER

A sticking plaster is put over the
cancer, with circular piece cut out
of the center little larger than the
cancer, and It small circular rim OF
healthy skin next to it is exposed.
Then plaster, made of chloride Of
zinc, blood root, and wheat flour, is
spread on a piece of muslin of the
size Of the circular opening and is
applied to the cancer for twenty
hours. On removing it the cancer
will be found as though burned into
it, appearing Of the color and hard
ness Of an old shoe, and the circular
rim outside Of it will appear white
and parboilel as if scalded by hot
steam. The wound is now dressed,
and the outside rim suppurates, and
the cancer comes cut a hard lump,
aud the place heals up,
The plaster kills the cancer, so
that it sloughs out like dead flesh
and never grows again. The appli>
cation is painful, but the pain is of
comparatively brief duration, which
any one so aft cted cheerfulIy en-
du,es. Not case has been known
Of the temperance of the cancer

AN ABSENT>MINDED BENEDICT
An exchange prints the following /:
A prominent business man, whose
name we will call Yates for short,
had lived an old bachelor, but fnal>
ly yielded his neck to the matrimo-
NAL halter. In the days of bis bach,
eIorhood, the hero of our sketch had
occupied room over a business
house, but after his marriage he stop
ped at the hotel. When he had been
married about two weeks, one eve
ming his bride awaited his coming un
til late hour in the night. Finally
filled with horrible misgivings, and
the dread of foul play, She sent
friends in search of the missing one.
All search proved unavailing, aud
the friends, nearly distracted with
dOabts and dread, were about to give
up, when some one suggested, just
for the assurance of the thing, that
his bachelor quarters be searched.
After raising quite racket about the
door noise was heard inside, and
finally the missing man made his APP
pearance. The fact was the man had
gone to his old quarters in state of
absent. mindedness and had retired
and gone to sleep, without discover
ing his mistake.

rabbit came to the place some three

WOMANS WOUNDED AFFEC-
TONS.

AS the dove will clap its wings to
its side and cover and conceal the
arrow that is preying upon its vitals,
so it is the nature of woman to hide
from the world the pangs of wounded
affection. With her the desire of
the heart has failed. The great
charm of existence is at end. She
neglects all the cheerful exercises
that gladden. the spirits, quicken the
pulse and send the tide of life in
healthful currents through the veins.
Her rest is broken the sweet re
freShments OF sleep is poisoned by
melancholy dreams; dry sorrow
drinks her blood, until her feeble
frame sinks under the last external
assailant. Look for her after a lit,
tie while and you find friendship
weeping over her untimely grave
and wondering that one who but late,
ly gIowed with all the radiance of
health and beauty, should now be
brought down to darkness and the
worm. You will be told of some win
try chill, some slight indisposition
that laid her low but no one knows
the mental malady that previously
Slapped her strength and made her so
easy prey to the spoiler.
