Centaur
White. for the Human Family.
Yellow, for Horses and Animals.

These Liniments are simply the wonder of
the world. Their effects are little less than
marvellous, yet there are some things whlch
they will not do. They will not cure cancer or
mend broken bones, but they will always allay
pain. They have Strengthened hpgers, cured
chronic rheumatism of many years standing,
and taken the pain from terrible burns and
scalds, which has never been done by any
other society.
The White Liniment is for the human fami.
ly. IL will drive rheumatism, Sciattca and
Neuralgia from the system; cure Lumbago,
Chillblains, Palsy, Itch. and most Cutaneous
and feet and poison of bites and stiEgS of venoin
GUS reptiis; it subdues swellings, and slle W
ates pain of every kind.
For sprains or bruises 1t is the most potent
remedy ever discovered. The Centaure Lini>
ment Is used with great efficiency for sore
Throat, T0othdche, Cdked Breasts. Earache and
Weak Back. The following is but sample OF

Nature has at last supplied an anti
dote to the grasshopper plague in the
Northwest, man having leagued all his
powers against the enemy in vain. A
little red bug now appears upon the
scene, dealing death and destruction to
the hopper, and giving hopes to the
despondent granger. The Minnesota
papers announce that this timely and
energetic insect is surely destroying all
the eggs laid by the the grasshoppers
this season, thus insuring exemption
from the ravages of the destroyer next
year.

SOME GIANTS.
A Couple that the Fashionable
Hotels Cannot Accommodate.

Rochester Express, Aug. 8.
There is on exhibition in a store on
State street, fin this city, perhaps the
most remarkable couple In the world
man and woman who are giants In
stature. They are Mr.. and Mrs. Nj. V.
Bates, whose home is now in Seville,
Medina county, Ohio. They are each
feet IL! inches in height, the husband
weighing 47S pounds while the wife
weigh 4l3 pounds. Thecommon-sized
visitor, when placed between them,
feels very much as Guliiver must have
felt when among the giants.
Mr., or Capt. Bates,, as he is called.
is finely proportioned man, OF ruddy,
healthy-looking complexion, straight
and military looking in his regimen
tails. His immense stature is not so no.
ticeable as that of his wife, who seems
almost awkward somehow on account
of her length, she being actually taller
for q woman than he is for man.
They are evidently people who, if not
30 wonderfully tall, would be consider
ed commonplace. e..
They are intelligent, however, and
the lady especially feels the awkward
ness of her position as the object OF the
curiosity and open-mOuthed wonder
of the multitude. In an interesting
conversation with our reporter, she
showed openly her dislike of the life
she is leading, and her longing to re-
turn to her home in Ohio. Their
home, by the way, was one built and
furnished especially for them. The
ceilings are 123 feet high, and no door
way is less than 81 feet high. Of course
they find the hotel accommodations
unsuitable to them wherever they GO,
as the ddorways are so low and the
beds so short.
One of the strange facts about their
history is that they were the children
of common people. Mrs. Bates father
was only five feet four inches in height,
while her mother was only common
sized woman. Her brothers and sis
tiers are of no remarkable height. Capt.
Bates father was six feet two inches
in height-a tall man, but dwarf,
compared with his son. Bates is now
twenty.nine years o: age. He is a ma
tive of Letcher county, Kentucky. His
wife is Nova Scotian, twenty seven
years of age. They were married in
London, England, while travelling
in that country on exhibition

THE DEGRADATION OF DRINK
Among the ill effects of drinking hab-
Its, none is worse than that upon the
victims own soul. IntoXicatiOn, how.
ever slight, blunts the finer sensibili-
ties, the delicate sy ympathies, the sensi-
tive conscience and all the spiritual ap-
titudes and aspiration. The danger
is augmented by the fact that drink
Il ing man does not see it. He taxes ex-
liberation on account of drink to be
real spiritual exaltation. Some men
are sensible of q livelier imagination,
warmer sympathies and freer flow OF
thought and expression after their
wine. Poets like Burns and. Byron,
have sought their inspiration from
drink. But the deadliness of the eX-
pedient is discovered by repetition.
The reaction is paralyzing to all
thought and all noble sentiment. The
quality of the inspiration that comes
from intoxication degenerates with ev-
cry repetition of the act.
Some men are stupefied by the first
draught. We have known those who
by single bottle of ale have been par
TALLY brutalized. Drink affects prin-
cipalIy that mysterious region which
lies on the confines of both body and
spirit. 1t awakens the slumbering an
imal passions. II degrades the imagi-
notion to impure subjects. A. man OF
thirty years bitter experience as b
drunkard once said to us: 81 would
not consider my daughter safe from iD-
suit if alone with habitual drinker
tor single hour" A drunkard in his
cups cannot conceive of pure woman.
He forgets his mother and his sister.
His mind revels in the scenes of the
low theatre or the brothel. What,
when sober he would have abhorred,
he now dlights in. His filthy stories,
his profane oaths, his irascible temper
and impudent words are the legitimate
fruits of the drink-devil that is in him.
Hence it becomes easy for some, thus
lcrazed, to strike, or murder, or commit
unmentionable crimes against social
purity.
But the immeasurable spiritual ruin
of drink cannot be even guessed at BY
consulting police records and the histo-
ry of crime. 1t is most fatal to those
finer and invisible qualities of a man
that make him akin to the angels. A
moderate drinker will sometimes re-
sist his downward tendencies till past
middle life. But when the recupera-
tive powers of nature begin to give
way under the effects of age and drink
combined, he slips uncopsciously into

has been so long In the habit Of running the
county In his own selfish interest, and dlctat-
ing the men to hold the offices, that he does
not like any departure from his suggestions
In the matter Of selecting delegates and max
ing nominations.
Ata meeting of the two Executive Commit
tees of the County, the question of nomnat-
ing County officers at the 4th Of June con-
yention was fully discussed, and 1t was de-
cided with but one objection. that only call
for the election OF Delegates to the State
Convention should be made; and the follow

Resolved, That the Chairman of the Com
mttee give notice TO the democratic -conser-
vative electors that County Convention will
be held at the Court House in Van Buren,, on
Saturday the 4th Of June, 1876, for the pur-
pose Of electing Delegates to the State Con-
vention to be held at Little Rock on the l4th
of June.

violated his instructions. could call conven-
tion for no other purpose than he did,
