CENTAUR
LINIMENTS.
Letter from a ,Postmaster.1
"ANTIocH, Ill, Dec. 1, 1874.
"Messrs. j. B. ROSE s. Co.:
"My wife has, for a long time, been a
terrible sufferer from Rheumatism. She
has t: led many physicians and many reme-
dies. The only thing which has given her
relief Is Centaur Liniment. I am reioioed
to say this has cured her. I am doing
what can to extend it's SALE X Z
W. Il. RING.
This is a sample of many thousand testi-
monials received, of wonderful cures
effected by the Centaur Liniment. The
ingredients of this article are published
around each bottle. It contains Witch
Hazel, Me-tha, Arnica, Rock Oil, Car.
Dollc, and ingredients hitherto little
known 1t Is an i~ndisputable fact that the
Centaur Liniment is performing more
cures of Swellings, Stiff Joints, Eruptions,
Rheumatism, Neuralgia. Sciatiea, Caked
Breasts, Lockjaw, &c, than all other Lin
lments, Embroca.ions, Extracts, Salves,
Ointments, and Plastsrs now in use.
ror 1~ooLnacne, Earache Weak Back,
tch and Cutaneous Eruptions it is ad-
mirable. 1t cures burns and scalds with
out a scar. Extracts poison from bites
and stings, and heals frost bites and chill
blalns, in a short time. No family can
afford to be without the Centaur Lini-
ment, white wrapper.
The Centaur Llniment, yellow wrapper.
is adapted to the tough skin, muscles and
flesh of the animal creation. Its effects
upon severe cases OF SPAWN, Swseny,
Wind Gall, Big Head and Poll Evil, are
little less han mary llous.
Messrs. j. Mcclure s. Co., Druggists
o., say:
"In our neighborhood a number of
teamsters are using the Centaur Liniment.
They pronounce it superior to anything
they nave ever used. We sell as high as
four to five dozen bottles per month to
these teamsters."
We have thousands OF similar testimo-
mails.
For Wounds, Calls, Scratches, Ring
bone, &c, and for Screw Worm in Sheep
IL has no rival. Farmers, Livery-men,
and Stock-raisers, have in this Imminent a
remedy which is worth a hundred times
its cost.

The United states a Nation.

Hon. Reverdy johnson has written let,
ter to Congressman Randall, OF Pennsyl-
vania, arguing the c0nstitutiOnallty OF an
appropriation for the centennial exhibition.
Incidentally he says:
"On the Fourth of July, 1776, nation
was born and declared to rest upon pIlncl-
pies of political and civil liberty which no
human power could rightfully impair or
destroy. That this example has had de
cided influence in spreading the doctrines
Of liberty beyond our own limits, and has
ameiOrated those OF an opposite character,
which for centuries before had prevailed,
can not be doubted. The effects OF our
doctrines have been to swell our population
from three millions to forty-three millions,
and to extend Christianity and enlightened
civilization, which ever accompanies II,
more rapidly than the world has before
known. Nor has this, our success, aroused
the fears or excited the envy OF other ma
tons. This will be manifested by. their
partaking largely in the celebration. They
Will all be represented there. and all their
achievements in art, science. mechanics,
and in agriculture will there be exhibited:
: There are some l know, though
| suppose thew are now but few, who apply
| to the constitution strictly liberal con.
struction. These deny that the United
| States is a nation, and as it is certain that
| the United States are not a nation, the con-
sequence would be that people OF 43,OOO,-
600, and as many more as may come into
| being under the present constitution are
| living under government which has no
| national character. IL is true, relative to
all concerns with foreign nations, the United
States is invested with ample powers. Con
| gress can alone regulate commerce with
| them, and the President, with the advice
and consent of the Senate, can make treaties
With, and appoint representatives to other
countries. But, say the strict construc-
tionists. the constitution nowhere declares
that the United States is q nation, and no
implication is admissible to prove it to be
one. If such an Interpretation of our Or
| ganic law was to prevail, the United States
would be without powers essential to its
prosperity, and be reduced to the mere d.
mansions of petty municipality. 1t is not
to be supposed, therefore, that Congress- IN
acting upon the matter OF the centennial,
will be governed by SO narrow and ruinous
| q construction"

OPENING Brokers OFFlCE.-The office
of Mr.. j. Strauss, No. % Carondeles street,
was found unlocked about five o'clock yes
terday morning by Officer Sullivan, who
noticed man leaving the door. That per-
son was arrested, and gave his name as
Charles Turner. After the officer had &C.
cured his prisoner he returned to the office
and made an examination. The iron safe
was open, and as there we're no marks to
indicate that violence had been used. It is
suppo ,ed that false keys were used. Nothing
was missing, probably owing to the fact
that the officers presence was made known
to the burglar. Mr.. Strauss seldom keeps
yaluables in his office safe, which the thief
might have easily learned, and saved him
self con siderable trouble.

DEATH UNDER WALL.-Between seven
and eight o'clock yesterday morning, James
Quinn, a bricklsyer. while at work on
Foucher, between Julia and St. Joseph
streets, was suddenly thrown down and
crushed to death by brick wall falling on
him. The wall, it appears. was only one
brick thick, and the recent rain weakened
it. Persons in the vicinity promptly went
to the rescue, but their efforts were only re-
warded by recovering the body; evidently
life was instantly crushed out Of the un'
fortunate man. Coroner Chastant held an
INQUEST. and the jury found verdict of &C.
cidental death. The body was sent to
the widows house. on POeyfarre, near Full
ton street,

attempts have been made to burn 1t, but
the officer was on hand in time to prevents
serious confagration.
Although State Senator Eustis has re-
turned home, he did not fill his seat in the
Senate yesterday.
The weather was cold, and Louis Rice
had no fuel to warm his chilly shins, 60 ne
sole some pickets from q fence at the corner
of Amelia and St. Charles streets, for which
he was arrested.
Willie Williams is occasionally given to
practical Jokes, but when he mischievously
rang all the door bells near the corner of
Camp and ITALIA streets Tuesday night IN
officer marched him to prison. Willie
couldn't see where the fun was.
Thomas Griffin sometimes anchors in the
Big Indian barrel house on Delta strees
and when he gets his mad up will put the
gloves on with anybody. George Clayton
crossed the Grifin's humor, and the conse-
quence was that Clayton nesrly had his life
pounded out of him. Griffin was arrested,
and Clayton sent to the Charity Hospital
for repairs.
james Powers abides with his wife Mary
at the corner of Robin and Peters streets,
and his style of showing bis atfectien is
striking if not loving. Something occurred
which displeased james, and to get even he
seized carving knife and hastily drew it
down her back, and the blade cut to the
bones. 1t seems that the husbands inten-
tions were of killing nature, but his ignor-
ance of anatomy kept him from becoming .
sorrowing widower and . murderer. He
was arrested and she sent to the Charity
Hospital.
John Quinn needed money and he was
bound to obtain it somehow. Officer Foster
says he obtained the desired currency by
telling story that was not true.
Scarlet fever is quite prevalent in the
CITY at present. Five deaths were reported
to the Board of Health yesterday morning
| a. having occurred within the preceding
twenty -foar hours, all of children under i've
years of age.

Crop Statistics.

Mr.. Samuel H. Buck, secretary OF the
National Cotton Exchange of America, has
addressed the following circular to the
presidents and boards of directors Of local
exchanges throughout the country:
Letters commenting upon the manner
heretofore observed OF publishing the
monthly crop report of the National Cotton
Exchange. have been addressed to the
presidenr, who has submitted copies thereof
to the executive council, with the following
suggestions, viz:
there will be but one opinion OF the import
ance of the following points: :,
Uniformity in the questions propounded
to correspondents. 900.
changes should be published on the same
day in order that they may be telegraphed
simultaneously by the Associated Press.
That each exchange should adhere strict
ly to the territory assigned IL Dy the ma
tiOnal Exchange.
With this explanation, presen! tne ~.
lowing propositions for your consideration
First-That we adhere to the present
plan; that the reports of local exchanges
be- forwarded to the New Orleans Ex-
change for cons olidation and publicatlon;
and that local exchanges are not authorized
to issue their reports until the general re-
port is published or,
Second-That the reports be made up
and published by the local exchanges on
the tenth of each month, fixed and after
ward consolidated and published Dy the
National Exchange; or,
Third-That the reports be published by
the local exchanges on the tenth OF each
| month, in no case at an earlier date, ana
that each exchange furnish copy of their
report TO the Associated Press, to be tele'
| graphed 40 that it may appear in the papers
on the morning of the eleventh; the further
publication of a consolidated report by the
National Exchange to be discontinued.
| l am decidedly in favor Of the adoption
OF the third suggestion, when carried OUT
promptly by the local exchanges, viii nave
all the advantages of our present plsn' ana
do away with all cauee for jealousy, besides
etfecting an important saving in time and
| expense to the National Exchange"
The third proposition, as above quoteo'
was adopted by the Executive Council, one
OF the members suggesting that eacn local
exchange shall, on the tenth of the month,
also mail to the other exchanges cOmprls
ing the National Exchange, copy OF the
report given to the Associated Press.
1t js therefore ordered by the executive
council of the National Cotton Exchange OF
America that the crop report be published
by each local exchange for the territory as
signed to it promptly on the tenth Of each
month for the month preceding, embracing
the period from the first of Nav to the thir
tieth of November inclusive, and that each
report be furnished to the Associated Press
to be telegraphed on the day of publication
The further issuance of consolidated re
port of the growing crop by the Nstiona
Exchange to be discontinued.
