TEE STRIKE D1sAsrRoUs To tn

TIE STRIKE DISASTROUS TO THE
STRtKERs.-It is now said that the rail-
road strike was premature--that a general
strike was being secretly arranged to take
place on all the trunk lines in October /;
and that the firemen and brakemen on
the Baltimore and Ohio road, at Balti-
more, were SO much angered by the re-
duction Of their wages that they precipi-
tated the strike before the time appointed.
This, it is argued, was providential and
saved the country much more difficulty.
We doubt that this is true. Had the
matter rested until near October, there
might have been measures taken before
the strike, through committees of con-
ference, that would have prevented or de-
layed it until cooler reflection and better
judgment got the ascendency.
In any sense we view the matter, we
must arrive at the conclusion that the
strike has been disastrous to the men en-
gagged in it, as we'll as to the business of
the companies which they attempted to
destroy. For it mnst be admitted as a
fact, in addition to the stoppage of freight
lhs, that the better part of the sum-
mer travel has been stopped, and that
thousands upon thousands of people Of
means who contemplated visits with their
families were prevented making these
visits, and other thousands were scared
into deferriDg pleasure travel entirely
Notwithstanding all this the strikers are
most Worstei by the strike, ,inasmuch as il
gives the companies the right to discharge
them and put men in their places. This
will enable the companies to train fire
men to do engineers work, brakemen tc
do tiremen's work and laborers TO do the
duty of brakemen, and thus create a re-
serve OF men at all points who may be
cal led into reserve as occasion requires
whereas before the companies were moi
Justlhed by the community In making
the changes which they Will soon be com
ptlled to make at their leisure.
We believe the men who struck wert
not paid too much and earned all the
wages they got. But this is the case with
nearly all other branches of business. vel
they have all had to submit to heavy re-
auctions. This could not be prevented
by strikes anywhere, as the railroad
Str trlkers had ample. opportunity to know
during the enlire three or four years past
1 hey will now have 10 suffer the penalt,
OF allowing themselves to be led by sucl
wicked demagogues as inaugurated tn
strike.

SYRUP
PERUVIAN SYRUP
From a Merchant.

NORTH SEARSMONT, sept. y, 1870.
Dear Sir-It gives me very great pleasure
to inform you of the benefit received from
the use of PERUVIAN SYRUP in my
own family. My wife, for the past ten
years, has been in feeble health-very
much debilitated generally. Last Spring
she concluded TO try "a bottle of PERU
WAN SYRUP, and was so we'll pleased
with the result continued it's use until three
or four bottles had been used. and she is
now ln better health than at any time for
ten years, and has increased in weight from
10 pounds TO l26k. l have employed ply
sicians, and used great variety Of pal ent
medicines, to the extent OF hundreds OF dol
lars, and know she received more benefit
| from the PERUVIAN SYRUP than all the
rest together.
My sales of the Syrup are very large
and constantly increasing, and do not hes.
| ltate TO recommend and even warrant it to
give satisfaction. If you desire you are at
liberty to use this communication as YOU
see mt, as 1t gives me pleasure to recon-
mend so good an article to suffering hu-
| manity. Yours trnly,

BROOKS, Me, Sept. Z, 1870.
Dear Sir-From early youth | was in
feeble health, troubled with humor in my
blood, weakness and debility of the system
generally; was unable to labor much, and
only at some. light business, and then only
with great caution.
Seven years ago the past Spring l had a
severe attack OF Diphtheria, which left NV
limbs paral yzed and useless, so | was un-
able to walk or even sit up Noticing the
advertisements of fPERUNIAN SYRUP |
concluded to giveit a trial. and to my great
JOY soon found my health improving. I
continued the use of the SYRUP until three
bottles had been used and was restored to
complete health, and have remained SO to
this day
attribute my present health entirely to
the use of PERUVIAN SYRUP, and hold
u in high estimation. l cannot speak too
highly in its praise. 1 have in several
cases recommended it in cases very similar
TO my own with the sam good results.
Yours truly,

AN INTERESTING HISTORICAL
FACT.

AN LN In EO L lNG h1SlOhlCA1
FACT.
After the argument upon the Florida
case before the late Electoral Commits
sion in Washington, Judge Bradley
wrote out his opinion and his decision
in full. He completed it about o'clock
in the evening on the day before the
judgment of the Commission was TO be
announced, and read it to Judge Cliff
ford and Judge Field, who were likewise
members of the Commission. 1t con-
tained first, an argument, and secondly, a
conclusion. The argum ent was precise.
ly the same as that which appears in the
published document; but Judge Brad.
ley's conclusion was that the votes of the
Tilden electors in Florida were the only
votes which ought to be counted as com
ing from that State.
This was the character of the paper when
Judge Bradley finished it, and When he
communicated 1t to his colleagues. During
the whole Of that night Judge Bradley's
mouse In washington was surrounded by
the carriages OF visitors who came to see
him arrarently about the decision of the
Electoral Commission, which, as we have
said, was to be announced the next day
These visitors included leading Republicans
as well as persons deeply interested IN the
Texas Pacific Railroad scheme.
When the Commission assembled the
next morning, and when the Judgment
was declared, Judge Bradley ! gave
his voice in favor of counting the Vote.
of the Hayes electors in Florida! The
argument he did not deliver at the time;
but when 1t came TO be printed subse,
quently it was found to be precisely the
same as the argument whicd he had orig
lually drawn up, and ON which he baC
based his first conclusion in favor of tn,
! Tilden electors.

The Utility of OdOrs.

That Odorous spices are disinfectant
and antiseptic, and that they are used
by the Egyptians in mummyfying their
dead, and thus preserving these useless
semblances of human kind for thous-
ands of years after they should have re-
turned into dust, is well known to those
who have considered the utility of such
things. The cologne water sprinkled
in the sick-room by the kindly nurse
not only freshens the languished in
valid, but really destroys disease germs
and preserves the health of watchful
friends. The cook does exactly right
when in warm weather she peppers the
beefsteak in order to preserve it for the
next meal. 1t is said that the pestilen-
tial vapors are of an alkaline character,
and combine with the acids and the
products of slow combustion so that
the reverend gentleman who, at a revi-
val meeting, when the atmosphere was
foul, called upon some kind sister to
burn a rag, acted intelligently and upon
true scientific principles. The burning
Of brown paper, of apple parings, and
of cotfe. ir sick rooms, not only disgui-
SEES, but to some extent, at least, de-
strOys the poisonous carnations from
the patient. Were it not hereby
might almost be tempted to quote SINH
las similibus, etc. AS one ocean wave
destroys another, as n wave of cleo
trio light, ifproperly directed, by inter-
ference extinguishes another, so one
odor may so interfere with and alter the
character of a similar one that the sense
of smell does not perceive it, or else is
offended by it. Nearly all the pastilles
for fumigating sick rooms contain ben
zoin, and when this is burned, benzoic
acid is formed, or set free, and this acid
in its free or newly formed state, unites
readily, according to the laws of chemis-
try, with just such products as are found
in sick rooms, so that the poison is not
merely rendered scentless, but under
goes an actual chemical Transformation
in which its toxic principles are re-
moved.
