SPECIAL NOTICES.

IT is AN ERRONEOUS IDEA that disease can
not be cured except by taking large quantities Of
medicines into the stomach, in a great many cases
of which much injury is done, although the disease
point be actually cured. The coats OF the stom-
ach by continued use of nauseating mixtures fire.

tive function ie seriously injnred-the result Of
which lie dyspepsia, nervousness, colics alternate
diarrhPa and costiveness, flatuence, nightmare,
etc Would it not, therefore, be very desirable to
possess a remedy, which being applied externally
would excite the absorbents to Increased action,
and thus carry off through this medium, the delete
rous principle which is the direct cause of the dis
ease? Surely every thinking man will admit that
this would not only he the most pleasant, but by
far the safest means to effect the desired end. The
almost superhuman cures performed by the Ara

fected by this of treatment, and the ingredi-

clusion, and we deny as an imputatlon upon
the people of New York that they are or
have been dominated by the nations subor-

condition of affairs short of the extinction of
manhood and patriotism in which a postmas-
ter or clerk could subdue to his partisan will

beyond such ashis character might give him.
This is admirable in point of dlrectness and
compactness of arguments. 1t disposes eff
fectually of the entire situation and leaves
nothing more to be said. 1t will be observed
that these valiant and self-respecting loyal
lists of New York constantly speak of those
who hold Office under. the General Govern

Conkling's resentment of deliberate attempt

A HARD CASE.

The Eureka Sentinel of Wednesday relates
pathetic story as follows: When the SaWtelle
troupe got ready to leave for Austin yesterday
morning it was discovered that a member OF
the troupe was non est, the young Miss who
figured in the bills as Miss Viva France
having secreted herself with the evident IN
tention of abandoning the theatrical career
Mr.. Sawtelle who claimed the child as his
daughter, Immediately instituted vigorous
search for the lost one, and after the lapse OF
couple of hours found Viva at a residence
on Spring street, where she had gone with
out the knowledge of the lady of the house,
and esconsed herself in the wardrobe, In the
hope of evading her parent. The lady, upon
finding her in her place of concealment, adj
vised her to return to her father, but the
poor child begged to be allowed to stay,
During the conversation Sawtelle knocked at
the door, and on being admitted approached
the child and deliberately knocked her down,
and as she fell to the floor he kicked her half
dozen times with his heavy boots. The
poor girl begged for mercy, but the brute had
no such quality in his composition. She
struggle to her feet only again to be fel1ed to
the floor, Sawtelle in the meantime, exercis-
ing his vituperative powers to the full bent,
and threatening his shrinking victim that he
would put it out of her power to run away IN
the future, as he would break every bone in
her body Unfortunately there were no men
in the neighborhood to interfere, and the
fond father, after firing himself out in adj
ministering the whipping, dragged her to the
coach, which was waiting at the door of the
Turner House, and putting her aboard,
jumped on himself and rapidly drove out of
town When it is remembered that the girl
is slight, delicate child, only II years of age
the reader can draw his own conclusion as to
the brutality of the whole affair, and as
testimony to his cruelty, the blood
staining the door frame, is a silent but very
effectual witness. Viva in giving the reasons
for her attempted runaway, told most pitful
story She states that she does not know
who her mother is and has no recollection of
her, but supposes that she is dead Sawtelle
claims her as his child, but Judging by his
treatment, every spark of fatherly love seems
to have forsaken him. She has been brought
up in ignorance, being barely able to read,
and has been whipped upon the slightest pro-
vocation, such as not being perfect in her
lines, etc, and her persecution by her father
had rendered her life unbearable. The poor
child in her misery knew not what step to
take, but having become acquainted with the
daughter of the lady in whose house she took
refuge, she entreated her companion to con-
ceal her, in the vain hope that she would be
left behind by her guardians and protectors,
The assault yesterday morning was witnessed
by number of ladies', and the main incidents
related to US by the lockers on.
