A Card IN the Public.

For many years we have made two
medicines suited TO the ailments Of
vast class of sufferers. Thousands Of
cures have been made by them, aud, 10
fact, the word failure could not be coup
led with them. But within the last two
years counterfeits of our medicines have
sprung up, dangerous in their close i'm
itation of our Trade Mark. To secure
the people We have placed upon each
genuine box of Holloway's Ointment
the fac simiIe Of the signature of our
agent, Mr.. Jos. Haydock. To counter
felt is felony. We shall relentlessly
pursue any one who initiates this with
the almost yigor of the law. We most
earnestly beg that the great mass of the
American people will aid US in our ef.
forts to protect their health, and help
US in our task of bringing these most
unprincipled men to justice. Uniform
ly refuse to purchase Medicines pnrport-
ing to be ours unless Dir. Jos. Haydock's =
signature Is attached to each box Of
Pills or pot Of Ointment and the end
will soon be reached
The pubIios obedient servants.

For the Register.
ICANNO,r FORGETI

Forget you! o can the flowers forget
The gentle rain, the sun that gives them
light,
No. nor can ever learn to forget
That sweet, SWEET dream so short and
bright.
You told me once You loved me,
Do you remember that time yet?
And this has been my life e'er since
And still you bid me to forget?
You placed your fine soft hand in mine,
You kissed me once. Do you regret
The words you spoke beneath the pine!
Those words never can forget.
You loved me then. and gave you
A hearts best love-you have it yet
A love as pure as heavens morning dew,
And think you that this love can forget !
My heart is crushed, hope in it died
When loves bright sun in darkness set.
Poor heart! in all its stony pride
1t never yet has learned how to forget.
You know how false you were to NE,
You broke your VOWS since last we met
But still love you, this you see,
Such love as mine can ne'er forget.
No: No: Tho years may come and 60,
And many many suns may rise and set,
And Time may sprinkle heads with snow
Yet still he vanuot force Inc to forget.

A VERY VALUABLE WORK.

The Illustrated History ot the Cen
tennial Exhibition, with q full descrip-
ton of the Great Buildings and all the
objects of Interest Exhibited in them.
By James ID. McCabe, author of "Ths
Centennial History ofthe United States,
Etc. Embellished with over 800 fine
engravings of buildings and scenes in
the Great Exhibition.
There is a universal demand for
work which shall embody complete
and carefully written account OF the
great Centennial Exhibition, sketching
its wonderful and varied features, and
presenting to the reader not a dry list
of the articles exhibited, but a brilliant
and graphic description of the most
magnificent display of the results of
human skill and industry ever gathered
together. Such a want The National
Publishing Co. of Philadelphia have
supplied in this superb volume 1t is
from the pen of the well-known author,
James d. McCabe.
The book is a complete and vivid
description of the great Exhibition.
The Author has written from his own
personal knowledge, having gone
through every part Of the great Worlds
Fair, notebook in hand, recording the
vast and varied information contained
in this work. He has received the con-
slant and sympathetic assistance of the
Centennial authorities, aud has enjoyed
peculiar advantages in tis preparation.
The Author takes US through the Ex-
hibition grounds, and makes us familiar
with every object Of interest in them.
We are then taken into the Main
Building, and are carried successively
through it, and through every building,
large and small, in the grounds. We
are told the story of the construction
ard arrangements Of each of these edi-
fees, and the rear, beautiful and won
derful collections which they contained
are graphically described
This work is invaluable TO all classes
of our people. There is not another
hook in print which gives one-fourth of
the information contained in tlis work.
To those who visited the Exhibition it
will be pleasing souvenir of their
visit, and will enable them to recall the
magnificent scenes they have witnessed.
To those who could not make the jour
ney, the book is necessity, for it will
enable them to enjoy the delights of a
thorough acquaintance with the great
Worlds Fair in the quietude of their
own homes.
The work is comprised in one large
aud handsome octave volume OF S74
pages, and is superbIy illustrated The
price is low, and within the reach Of all.
The book is sold by subscription only,
and the publishers want agents in every
epunfv

WEST VIRGINIA INrRIGUEs AT WASH
INGroN.-The Washington correspon-
dent of the Chicago Times, March %,
brings out this political gossip abou.
the intrigues of men, we know:
One of the remnants of Simon Gamer
onism is just now putting up its hand
for little notice at the white house,
but it has thus far been kept in the
background. 1t is the West Virginia
marshalsbip. About year ago Cam
eron had friend. Geo. w. Patton, for
whom he wanted place, and after
stamping around considerably and re-
marking that it was a hell of time, he
got Major Slack, the West Virginia
marshal, removed aud Patton appointed
instead. Mr.. Patton was then a citizen
of West Virginia, but was very recent
ly therefore Pennsylvania living on
the Juniata. His father was an old
time editor who bad done Simon good
service ia years gone by. When Slack
was removed he brought strong in
fueuce to bear against Pa;tons con-
frmation. Among those who called
upon Grant in his interest were Gen.
Goff, district attorney and lately repub-
lican candidate for governor, District
Judge Jackson, and State Senator Scott.
confirmation was defeated, and Slack
held the fork. About two months ago
Patton made another strike for the
place, and, through Cameron's influence,
secured reappoiutment. He was con-
6rrred after some delay and vigorous
effort by Slack and Jackson to defeat
it. Since Hayes came in the ex-marshal
has been keeping up fight against
Patton, assisted by Judge Jackson, who
does not seem to mince over descend
ing from the bench of federal court to
take part in petty personal affair in
volving 1880 Office. Jackson was
here several days after the inangura-
ton, though not now in the city. Slack
is here planning to oust bis successor.
Since the contest has degenerated into
a spiteful personal fight between two
men, Gof and Scott have withdrawn
from it, but the judge still stands by
his own marshal. Pstton will not be
removed unless Hayes departs from his
new civil-seryice rule relating to sp-
poiatments.
