Strawberries and Poll Taxes

IFrOna the Austin Neu.) Recitte.
In this city at present, there is
a great demand for Strawberries
and no supply, and a large supply
ofpoll-tax receipts and no demand.
It Is the way Of the world. People
crave things that they cannot get,
and disdain things which are east
~ procured. Because strawberries
come from a distance everybody
rushes to buy them; and here are
poll.taxes growing at our very
doors at the low rate of four dol
ars apiece. and nobody wants
hem.

Forest Fires.

LITTLEToN, N. H., May %. Ex-
tensive fires are now raging in Car
roll township, in the vicinity of the
Twin Mountain House. Several
hundred cords of wood have been
burned. Forest fires of considerable
magnitude prevail along the line of
the Portland and Ogdensburg and

is heavy.

"The triumph of the Allen wing
of the Ohio Democracy said a
prominent and influential leader,
at theManhattan club, last evening
"simply means that Governor
Tilden cannot receive the nomina-
ton of the st. Louis convention.
We may as well settle down on
that. Not that these Ohio politi-
clans particularly love 'Bill' Allen
but that they want their revenge
on rilden for his anti-infiation
speeches, which killed Allen off
at the last Ohio election. They
have all along been threatening
to do something of this kind, and
now they have commenced doing
it," The new prestige which the
infiati0nists have thus acquired;
it is apprehended, will encourage
them in other western states, and
the outcome of this may be resis-
lance to the nomination, not on
ly of Tilden, but of any other
eastern man The result OF such
a policy in November, OF course,
can be easily foreseen IN. Y.

For the Register.
FAIR WARNING.

The crack of party lash may be sweet
music to those who have no personal
merit to 90 before the people upon, or
to those who have personal aud selfish
ends to subserve, but the great mass OF
the people of both parties are heartily
sick of being driven and whipped into
the support of men, because they hap
pen to get the endorsement OF some
party clique. ,
Is not the wrecked, almost ruined
condition of our country a sad illustra-
ton of the decentralization of blind and
persistent party subserviency; will the
people pcrSevere Oh TO their utter ruin
Or will they stop and think, and act
differently? We think they will, we say
they ought.
There is a strong natural tendency in
men to persist in error, and nothing but
conviction of its damaging effects ever
stops or turns them.
Could mankind ask for clearer or
stronger evidence than exists now, or
than is developed by every turn of the
political wheel, that party bisotry is
most banetul and ruinous to people
who desire TO be free. Party slavery
will bring sure and inevitable ruin to a
free people, if they succumb to it. Then
freemen think, act and do as becomes
freemrn choose for yourselves. The
avenues of information are open TO you,
investigate men and measures, decide
according to your best Judgment, who
and which YOU will chose. Turn the
lrown of scorn and contempt upon those
who presumptuously tell you, you must
do thus or so, because your party de-
mands it. With the corpse of the
chest government the world ever knew,
PROSTATE before you, point it. What
worked its ruin? Party corruption; is
not this warning enough! l..

Few remedies are applicable to such n

Stomach Bitters, and this not because it
has special properties adapted to the cure
of each-such a pretense would be mani
testify absurd-but on account OF its won
derfully improving effect upon the gencr-
al tone of the system, and its Alternative ac-
ton upon the organs of nutrition, sccrc-
ton and discharge. Besides its well
known properties as a remedy for inter-
mttent and remittent fevers, dyspepsia,
constipation, torpidity of the lever,
general debility, urinary and uterine
difficulties, it invariably proves to be
highly serviceable in overcoming anGmia,
hypochondria, rheumatism, insomnia,
and many other disorders and disabili-
ties originating in poverty or impurity of
the blood, nervous weakness or over
excitement, or an imperfect performance
of the physical functions.
