Unlimited Remedial Resources.

People sometimes suppose that DIR. Pierce's
family medicines represent the entire extent
Of his resources for curing disease. This is an
error Experience proved that while the Col
den Medical Discovery, Favorite Prescription,
Pleasant Purgative Pellets, Compound Extract
Of Smart Weed, and DIR. Sage's Catarrh Rene
dy would, il faithfully used cure a large
variety of chronic complaints. there would be
here and there case which, from its severity,
or from its complication with other disorders,
would resist their action. These exceptional
cases required thorough examination into
their symptoms, to ascertain the exact nature
and extent Of the disease or diseases under
| which the patient was laboring, and the use OF
specific remedies to meet and overcome the
same. This led to the establishment Of the
Worlds Dispensary at Buffalo, New York,
with its faculty of physicians and sur
| geons, each of whom is skilled in the treat
ment of chronic disorders in general and
those belonging to his own special department
in particular. To one is assigned diseases Of
the throat and lungs; to another, diseases Of
the kidneys and urogenital organs; to another
diseases Of the digestive system to another
diseases Of the nervous system; and to another
diseases of the eye and ear. Thus the highest
degree of perfection in medicine and surgery
is attained The establishment of this ipstitu
| ton enables the doctor to meet long-fel
want in the treatment of the more sever;
chronic affections By q careful confederation
of the symptoms as given in writing, he sue
cessfully treats thousands Of cases at thei
homes. Others visit the dispensary in person
The amplest resources for the treatment o
lingering affections are thus placed at the dis
posal of every patient, and those on whom tn
proprietary medicines do not have the desiret
effect can procure more thorough and eff
| cient course by personal application to tn
proprietor of the Worlds Dispensary.

way Texas has recently passed a
law prohibiting any man from serv-

ARMY OF oFFIcEHoLDERs ).

In the first two years of Grantism,
saws the n. Y. Sun, the offices were
increased about three thousand as
compared with 1869. In 1873 the
total increase rose to twenty
thousand, and in 1875 it reached
forty thousand. This constant and
enormous progression shows how
utterly reckless was the system
which these plunderers practised.-
They defed criticism and voted away
the peoples money and lands, grant
ed subsidies and enriched Rings, as
if there was no limit to INSCRIPTIONS
power and day of reckoning would
never come.
The Senate has been fighting to
retain those forty thousand Office
holders which were thus created in
excess Of any want of the public SER
vice, and mainly to furnish addition
al patronage for the Administration
and for members of Congress. A
large proportion Of them are sine
cures and political pensioners on the
Treasury, who render no service
equivalent to the pay they receive,
and many of whom never appear at
all on duty, except to draw their
salaries

HAMBURG NEGRO TROUBLES.

The negroes and indians seem to
be on the war path. On the fourth
inst, Herbert Butler and another
citizen of Edgefeld county, S. c.,
while driving through the town of
Hamburg, were interrupted by col
ored militia company, who blocked
up the public highway and prevent :
ed them from proceeding on their
way home. Complaint was made by
Butler to Prince Rivers (colored), a
Trial Justice, who summoned wit
nesses to investigate the matter
Doc Adams, the Captain of the com :
pany, was the first witness examsn
ed. Adams became so insolent that
Trial Justice Rivers arrested him for
contempt, and continued the case
until the afternoon. When the trial
was resumed the company proceeds
ed to court and rescued the prisoner
Adams. Rivers, who, in addition to
being a Trial Justice, commands the
State militia, ordered the company
to disarm, and, upon their refusing
to comply with his orders, he called
upon the citizens for aid to enforce
his orders. The citizens responded.
The militia company took possession
of brick building and refused to
surrender. Fire was opened by
both sides, which was continued for
several hours, with but little effect.
The citizens laid seige and on the
morning of the 9th inst, the riot
terminated disastrously. Six ne~
groes were killed and three wounds
ed. One white man, Mackey Mer-
riwelher was killed, and another,
Robert Morgan, was wounded. At
ter the whites fired four rounds
from piece of artillery, the negroes
retreated from the brick building
into the cellars and outhouses Of adj
joining buildings. Fifteen or twen>
ty negroes were captured and the
balance including Capt. Doe Adams
escaped into the country. Rivers
fled to Augusta for safety and denies
that he asked the citizens to assist in
diSarming the company, but ac>
knowledges that he could do nothing
with the turbulent darkies.

The sale of Circassian girls TO

of the London Times says that a
Moslem dealer choice of four young,
uusophisticatel girls, imports them
to Constantinople, sells them, and
then goes back for more. If he can
achieve four such trips in a year he
can make a good living out of l6
women. Many of the Circassians
are settled in Turkey, and there ac-
tually breed children for sale, having
no more shame about it than FASH
ionable English mother may feel
about bringing out her girls for the
matrimonial market.

GEN. CUSTER

The death of General Custer and
the last one of his brave soldiers, as
they fought the fatal Thermopyla
of Indian warfare, was sad intelli-
gence to those who had previously
learned anything of Clusters noble
traits of character and staunch de-
votion to right principles, coupled
with his intellectual abilities, shown
in literary contributions to some of
the best northern magazines.
GRANT is the man, who few
weeks ago, became angered at Gen.
Custer because he testified damag>
ingly against Belknap and the post
leadership thieves, and punished and
Inundated him by reducing him to
Colonelcy in his regiment, then
hurriedly sent him to the Vest
The blood of that gallant soldier
clings to the skirts of President
Grant, in that he failed to reinforce
the Western troops with sufficient
number of the idle troops in the
South to have insured the defeat OF
the Sioux. The President doubtless
preferred that the $4,000 soldiers of
the standing army should remain in
the States to control ballots, rather
than strengthen Clusters small band
against the large force of savages
under "Sitting Bull" Grant who
owes his present elevation to many
slaughtered thousands, is as vindic

refuse to shield by perjury his
friends from the penitentiary, as he
is the unconcealed friend of the ras

THE SAME SHOP WITH ANOTHER
SIGN

OF what avail will it be to elect
HAYES instead of GRANT? 1t will
continue the same old shop, in which
the same business will be carried on
in the same way, by the same gang
of hands: only there will be another
name painted over the door; that is
all.
Would GRANTS eighty thousand
Office holders be SO active in their eff
forts to elect Mr.. HAYES if they did
not expect to retain their offices un-
der him9 What do they care whose
name is over the shop door, whether
it be Grant or Hayes, so long as
they retain the same situations, with
the same emoluments :
The change would be mostly a
matter of paint aud put;y-Grant
erased and the hew letters, which
spell Hayes, substituted.
The change with T'ilden would be
radical and entire New men as
we'll as new measures will rule the
day. There will be a change, pref
ty nearly a clean sweep, and we leave
it to the sober sense of the country
if it would not be difficult 10 make a
change that would not be for the
better.
There would be something more
than a charge in the name over the
door. The woflmen within would
be changed, and the peoples york
would be honestly and faithfully
done. Nee York S,0}.
