conceded, believe, that they sell goods
at a very small margin, and surely they
ought and must have q fair business

mt any other point along the X. y. road
as farswest as Salina, then the conclusion
is clear that they are not extor'ing of
their customers. Now if the merchants
OF Salina can sell goods cheaper than
they are sold In the towns surrounding

tho Solomon mills turn out more flour
equally as good, than the Salina
mills, when the wheat is tolled. Again
coal is furnished at Solomon one dollar
per ton cheaper than at Salina. OF
course it is not reasonable to suppose
that the Solomon dealers are doing this
for fun, but it is reasonable to suppose
that if the Solomon dealers can afford TO
do this, the Salina dealers can also
afford 10 DO it.

and those too who if advantages were
equal would prefer 10 go to Salina.
You and all those who may read this

simplifying nor illustration by way OF

WHICH TAKE ,

This is often serious question with
the invalid. He finds the market flood
ed with proprietary medicines, scores of
which arc recommended as certain
cure for his peculiar ailmcnt. He
reads the papers, circulars, and almancs,
and finds each sustained by plausible ar
gGmcnts setting forth its virtues and
specific action. The recommendations
are as strong tor ore as for another
The cures claimed TO have been wrough,
10y one are as wonderful as those claimed
TO have been wrought by another. In
his perpleXity and doubt, the sufferer
is sometimes led TO reject all. But it
should be borne in mind that this con-
dition of things is one that cannot be
remcdcd. In a land where all arc free,
the good-thc truly vaIuabIc-must
come INTO competition with the vile and
worthless, and must be brought TO pub
lie notice by the same instrumcntality,
which is ddrertising. In such cases,
perhaps the only absolute proof that q
remedy is wha. it claims to be, is 10 try
it. The West of pudding is the eat
ing Of it," "Prove all things, hold fast
that which is good, Is the apostolic in
junction. There may, however, be
stronger prcsumptlvc evidence in favor
of one remedy than there Is in favor of
another, and this should he allowed its
due weight. A due regard TO this may
save q vast amount OF experimenting
and useless outlay of money. As pre-
sumptivc evidence in favor Of Dir.
Piercc's Family Medicines, the propric-
tor desires TO say, that they arc pre-
pared by a new and scientific process by
which the virtues of the crude plants
and roots are extracted without the use
Of particle of alcohol. Not particle
of this destroyer of our race enters into
the composition Of either his Golden
Medical Discovery or Favorite Pre-
scription. This consideration alone
ought certainly TO rank them high above
the vile compounds saturated with al
cohol, Jamaica rum, sour beer, or vine
gar, which are everywhere offered for
sale. Again, they arc of uniform
strength, and their virtues can never be
impaired by age. They are also made
from fresh herbs and roots, gathered in
their appropriate seasons, when they are
flush with medical properties. in sup
port o. these CLAIMS, the following tes-
timony is offered:

No Time Like the Ola Time.

There is no time like the old time,
When you and were young,
When the buds of April blossomed,
And the birds Of spriug-time sung,
The gardens brightest glOIics
By summer suns are nursed.
But o, the sweet, sweet violets,
The flowers that opened first,
There is no place like the old place,
Where you and were born,
Where We llned first our eyelIds,
on the splcndors Of the morn,
From the milk-white breasts that warmed
US,
From the clinging arms that bore,
Where the dear eyes glistend DER US
That will look for US no more!
There Is no friend like the old friend
That has shared our morning days,
No greeting like his welcome,
10 homage like his praise;
Fame is the scentIess sunnower.
With gaudy crown Of gold;
But friendship IS the breathing rose,
vain sweets III every ioid.
There Is no love like the old love
That we cour,ed in our pride;
Though the leaves are failing, falling,
Aud we're .ading side by side,
Theye are blossoms all around rs,
With the cOlOrs Of our dawn,
And we live IN borrowed sunshine
When the light OF day is gone.
There are no times like the old times
They shall never be forgot!
There is 10 pI-ce like the old place
Keep green the dear old spot.
There are no friends like our old friends
May heaven prolong their lives!
There are no loves like the old loves
God bless our loving wives!

why Mails are Delayed.

The Las Vegas Gazette talks to the
Narrow Gauge railroad company, in
the following sensible manner:
If the narrow gauge desires TO keep
in fair repute with the people Of New
Mexico il should make a little greater
effort to get the mails through on time
The eastern mails do not reach us with
any regularity whatever. They are Of
ten behind, from day TO a week. In
fact, they are not carried according to
the contract much more than half the
time. The excuse is that the railroad
washes out. The company did not
contract to furnish excuses; but they
agread to carry a daily mail from Las
AnImas 70 Santa Fe. We insist on the
iu 'hllment OF the agreement. Barlow
s. Sanderson should put their coaches
on again from Las Animas 10 Trini-
dad, 1T least until The rainy season is
over, as the narrow guage appears to
be broken all along the line !rOm

railroad gets 20 Us, the longer 1t takes
to bring the mails, under the present
arrangements.

animals stolen w5r tied up as were
many ether pOorei ones which were
not taken. On discovering the thefts,
the trail was followed for several
miles and abandoaed because the peo-

sam. Baer came in from Grant by

party of miners who said they saw five
Indians about twelve miles east of
Tres Alamos at the lime kiln. The
Indians hallooed and went off into al

nor did the miners.
1t is 4 remarkable coincidence that.

People Tending 10 Philadelphia.

July p, the New York Observer,
among other Centennial matter, had
these remarks:
The reduction of railroad fare is so
great that parties can 90 from the
most distant points 20 Philadelphia,
and return, for less than half the reg
ular rates. IN many places tickets
are sold that entitle the holder to good
LODGINGS in the city: ne takes his
meals mt "a restaurant and 50 regulates
his expenses 10y his means. 1t Is quite
probable that greater proportion of
tie population viii visit the EXhibi-
Jon than any European country ever
saw atasmilar gathering. This IS the
result of cheap fares and the generally
.diflused intelligence of the people.
The tendency Of summer travel IS to
Philaielphia. The watering places
up TO this time have fewer visitors than
usual. and many hotels that last year
were filled, are nearly empty now.
The Centennial comes only once IN %
