A GARD to the Public.

For many years We have made two medI-
ciues suited to the ailments of vast class
of sufferers. Thousands of cures have
been made by them, and, in fact, the
word failure could not be coupled with
them. But within the last two years
counterfeits of our medicines have sprung
M. dangerous in their close imitation OF
our Trade Mark. To secure the people We
have placed upon each genuine box OF
Holloway's Ointment the fac simlle OF the
signature of our agent, Mr.. Jos: Haydock-
To counterfeit is felony. We shall relent-
lessly pursue any one who initiates this with
the utmost rigor of the law. We most
earnestly beg that the great mass OF the
American people will aid us in our efforts
TO protect their health, and help us IN our
task of bringing these most unprinclpied
men to the bar of justice. Uniformly re-
fuse to purchase medicines purportlng to
he ours unless Mr. Jos. HaydOck's sigma
ture is attached to each box of Pills or pot
of Ointment, and the end will soon be
reached.
The public's obedient servants,

WHEAT IN HIGHLAND CoUNTY-We
copy the following from the Ohio
Farmer of last week:
WHEAT CULTURE.-W. D. W., High
land county, o., writes that wheat in
that county was sown early, came up
well, and generally has good ap
pearance but upon examination
there is considerable fly in it, which
will injure it more or less. He adds
that early sown wheat is the best, if
it was not for the fly, but that is the
trouble in that part OF the country.
He desires to hear from fnrmers in
other localiti, on this question, EN-
bracing their views in regard to BOW
ing. If farmers would interchange
views ON such topics, freely, it would
result in great advantage all around.
This is one of the great advantages
of an agricultural journal.

New-York tribune., 1876-10-16
pRESLnENTL1L PEONPICTS.

The prospect for November is not Slmpllfed
bv the October elections. Hitherto If has been
presumed that Indiana would cast its electoral
vote for the Democratic caDdldatcS, and that
Ohio would vote for Gov. Hayes. There Is no
doubt as to Ohio. But the success of the iniIa-
ZIONIST Williams, by a majority probably smaller
than the vote east for the Grcenbacll ticket by
former Republicans leaves the result in In
diana III great doubt and 1t is not at all I'M
possible that the disheartenmcnt or disgust
of Democrats and their failure to vote
may give the State to the Republicans in
November as like causes did in 1872.
West Virginia only proves that the
South is solid, as was expected. There IS
possibility that North Carolina may he wreSted
IRON the Democrats, but not strong proba-
bllity. 1t is possible that a vote sufficiently
full and honest TO insure Democratic defeat
NAV be obtained in South Carolina or Louisiana,
but il would be folly to rely upon that result
Ii NAV safely be assumed, as Il basis OF all
calculations, that the Republicans cannot count
with confidence upon single State formerly
slaVchOldinC.
On the other hand, the Democrats cannot
claim as certain single Northern State.
Elections III Maine, Vermont, and Ohio show
that old-fashioned Republican maiorities are to
be expected from rural districts throughout the
North. If Wisconsin was thought doubtful IT
must be classcd as certain for Hayes in view OF
the majoIitics in Northern Ohio Since the
election in Maine no one doubts about New
Hampshire. Colorado has spoken for itself.
Nevada is a Republican state, and the chances
certainly favor the Republicans i'll California
since the jealous support of Gov. Hayes by
Senator Booth and the independents whom he
represents But the situation is not materially
changed if that State and Oregon are called
doubtful. The position is this:

1STROVOUIC1L MYTHS.


The exactness of astronomy gives it GER
tain air of precedence as compared with It's
sister sciences when, recently, Prof. Huxley
claimed for hypothesis III natural history
basis rs firm rs that of the leading hypothesis
in astronomy, he awOke surprise at least with
most of his hearers. In security of basis,
the edifces of theory raised by the geologiSt,
the electrician, the student OF natural
history or of mcteorOlOgy, seem weak COM
nared with those of the astronomer. They
NAV be as sound, but they are not so eyl-
IDENTITY buttrcsSed by accumulated facts Yet
even in astronomy there are outlying portions
of the structure that have at times either top
pled down or shown signs OF giving way.
For many years after the acceptance OF
the Copernican theory by astronomers, they
were troubled by the notion that the orbits of
the planets would ultimately become dcranged
by the attractions of these bodies Tor each
other. That fear was set at rest chiefly by the
computations of Laplace, proving that
in the long run those alterations
were self.adiusting. More recently came
the suspicion that the planets meet
with friction in their passage through
the luminiferous. ether and hence that 1t Is
only question of time as to when their rev
olutions will be percepdbly shortened, ana
that they will ultimately fall into the sun. A
more definite shape was given to TINS slspi-
cion when Prof. Encke announced that the
comet which has been named after him
WAS moving in IA gradually accelerated orbit
But while the probability OF the ultimate fall
of the planets into the sun is still proclaimed
bv many if not nearly all writers on the sub
iect, the alleged change in the orbit OF Encke's
comet is vehemently disputed, and it seems
likely to be cassed with the myths of as
tronomy
OF yet more doubtful order are many OBJ
servations that have recorded small, moving,
telescope objects whose very existence is since
denied. The list of debatable comets of this
sOrt-that have been observed under suspicious
circumstances or over which doubts have
been tbrown-is lengthening with every year
as they fail to make another appearance in the
places where they are expected People take
less interest i'll Comets now, since it has been
shown that the chances that one of them will
strike the earth is one in n million, than they
did when DR.. Thomas Dick used to indulge
his imaginatiOnin describing the final cOntagra-
ton of the world as brought about by such
means. There is besides a general belief at
present that If any known comet should
strike the earth, the result would be like
the rush of the bull at the locomotive
bad only for the attacking party.
Another of the questionable objects that bolds a
very doubtful place in the annals of the science
is the alleged satellite Of Venus. All star

gazers are familiar with the "ghostsr of IN,
telescOpe-small points Of light due to reflec-
tons in the instrument SO deceptive are some OF
these ghosts" that an astronomers in the vicinity
of this city was fully persuaded for one or two
evenings few years ago that he had actually
rediscovered Venus's satellite. There are many
of the observations Of this body which cannot
be fully disposed of by the "ghOst n-theory, as
they were made by astronomers who, to say
the least, ought not to have been misled by
an optical deluson. Whatever il was. il
showed itself seven times in one month
March, 17G4--and at two widely separate
places. Yet at the present day be-
hevers in the satellite are scarcely to ba
fOund. Two out of the six or eight satellites
which Sir Wm. Herschel announced as accom-.
panying Uranus have been consigned to non.
entity, and it is even doubtful whether he really
saw more than two Of the four Which are now
known. The great telescope mt Washington
has settled the question as to the number OF
Uranian moons, certifying only to 0beron.
Titania, Umbrie and Ariel.
If the so-caled planet Vulcan is destined 70
90 down into the limbo Of astronomical myths.
il will at least have filed large space in the
minds of astronomers before lapsing from
view. 1t has the advantage over all the other
doubtfuly visible bodies of having its exist
ence made probable by disturbance in the
orbit of its neghbor. NJ. lie YerTier's author
ity Oh this point is not to be lightly set aside.
But other suppOsitiOns, such as that OF
two or more interior planets, or perhaps an
irregular or much-tlted band of meteorites,
may equally account for Mercury's cxcesses.
The alleged observations of Vulcan are nu-
mer0us and difficult 70 class as mere mistakes.
1t is true that by unframed observers, sun
spots might be misinterpreted. The men who
have seen or thought that they saw the planet
were either not practical astronomers, or as in The
case of Prof. Hubbard, failed to put their OBJ
servations accurately on record. The negative
evidence, from men who have been busy in
studying the suns disk for years, is not to be
disregarded. The opinion of leading astronO-
mers is greatly in the majority against Vulcan;
yet recent number of Nature contains as s
leading article an essay by j. R. Hind
"A name of eminence in these mattcrs-strongly
favoring the correctness Of the observations,
though admitting that more than one interior
planet must have been seen if all the accounts
are to be accepted. Undoubtedly the failure
to find Vulcan, after the special research this
month, Is very damaging to his advocates.
If there be more YulcaDs than one, it
should have been easy to find one Of
them, especially during eclipses. 1t would
be an excellent thing for school-bOok writers
if a new planet could be discovered as it
would give a pretext for new astronomical
textbooks; and an equally good thing Tor
pupils, as the old books are full of errors
Nevertheless the prospect of this increase in
the family of planets is at present exceed
ingly dim.

weather It's crow under the circumstances

dress of Mcssrs. Hewitt and Prince is very
good address; its language is loud and ele-

voices of the political melodists lack what
we may call the hn,Jre of triumph. These
herads of victory evidently do not be-
lieve in the victory which they are celebrat-
ing. They know that by their result the Octo-
Der elections have not advanced the chances OF
their candidate an inch. They know that
even in Indiana they have lost Congressman
which they can i'll afford to lose. They know
that they are by no means sure OF carrying
the electoral vote of that State, and that they
have lost all chance of the electoral vote OF
Ohio. Substantially and in the aggregate they
are defeated, and they know it; ana yet what
a loud, shril, jubiiant clarion do they Sound

Mr.. Frederick o. Prince!

is " ovcl whc}ming majOrities." He wants " bal

An things are possible. Gov. Tilden may be
elected We may have one of the closest OF
canyasses; but there is nothing in these Octo-
Der elections to encourage the Democracy ex-
ccpt the fact that it has not been absolutely
apri',ilatcd unless a reduced majority in In
diana, practical defeat in Ohio, and a Sue
cess a West Virginia, which everybody ex-
pcctoi, are omens of triumph in the next

Committees TO crow under all possible circum-
stances. Parly for that are they constituted.
