in order to explain to lady ~
pretending to be aggrieved, and.
when in the house the doors were
locked, and the woman began
using COW hide upon the Editor
whilst two men prevented him
from defending himself. A das-
tardly, and infamous proceeding
inwhich none butacoward would

There never has been a time when the

used them, to act quicker than any other

other plasters are slow of action, and re-
Iulre To be worn continually to effect a cure :
but with these it is entirely different; the
instant one is applied the patient will feel
its effect.

tested and well know the effect of Capsi

USED as medical agent for an outward ap-

GENERAL DEvENs AND WENDELL Phil
LIrs.-A Boston Herald correspondent has
been interviewing General Devens on the
matter of Sims, the negro. General Devens
said that the term slave-hound, which Mr.
Phillips had applied to him and the Cabinet,
was the same word which Phillips had ap-
piled to Mr.. Lincoln when he was stagger-
ing under the enormous burdens imposed on
him by the civil war. Phillips even went so
far as to call him a parasite, and once he
spoke of him as lickspittle. "When Mr..
Phillips calls you liar, a villain and Il
'coundrel," said General Devens, abe merely
means that he does not agree with you. He
is maker of phrases and must have some
me to apply them to. One thing is Yer,
vident-that the emancipation of the negro,
while it was a very good thing for the negro,
vas very bad thing for Phillips it took
away his stock in trade. There is no use i
aling names. Here is this important aud
liilicult Southern problem to be settled
We are all DESTROYS of having the negro pro-
tected aud his interests advanced, but his in-
terests cannot be advanced by keeping hin
perpetually in a state of war with the men
who are superior to him in intellect and
wealth and courage" General Devens is il
favor of all legitimate measures for the pro.
lection and advancement of the negro, and it
is an interesting fact that while Mr.. Phillips
is abusing him so bitterly, he is undoubt-
eddy one of the most cautious counsellors
the President has on Southern politics.

A WORTHLESS SET.-The Southern car
pet-baggers have been pampered and petted
by the Republican party ever since recon-
struction. They have had some of the best
offices, and on all occasions have been ieal
ously cared for, They have never done the
party any good. They never captured the
negro vote-it was captured for them in
Washington; but they did prevent the
white people of the South from joining the
Republican party. They have not even been
able TO hold the states which were placed in
their hands with from twenty-five to fifty
thousand majority. They deserve no credit
for giving the votes of South Carolina,
Louisiana, and Florida to Mr.. Hayes, but
rather blame that by their years of rascality
and Encouragement they lost North Caro-
lima, Alabama and Mississippi. And now
because President Hayes does not propose
TO violate the constitution aud adopt an i'm
possible, ruinous policy to keep them in
power two or three months longer-for that
is all it could amount to-they threaten to
go over to the democrats. They can well be
SHARED.

The Crisis In Europe.

Whatever efforts may be made to conceal
the real condition of affairs in Europe, it is
evident that the much vexed Eastern ques
ton stands an excellent chance of solution
by resort to arms. II such collision, be
tween Russia and Turkey, should take place
IL seems hardly possible that the other great
powers in Europe can escape entangle
nent; and it is exceedingly probable that
Austria, Germany, England, and possibly
France, may be active participants in the
coming fray, before its conclusion.
Turkey for the last one hundred years has
been little else than a ward of the great
powers in Europe. Having distinct ma
tionality, and large resources, she has, by
her peculiar geographical position, been the
envy of Russi,; while the other European
powers, jealous of the extent of Russian do
main, have expended vast amount of diplo
matte talent in preventing the absorption
of the former by the latter. Certain and
severe restrictions have been placed upon
Turkey by her guardians, which have left
little power in the hands of her government
to do anything except to plumber their own
people and generally misgovern the nation
and of these privileges those officers have
fully availed themselves.
The war, If it occurs, will, in the language
Of General Sherman, abe the most bloody
the world has ever seem" The effete dy
nasty in Turkey is displaying most remark
able energy in its preparations and Russia
may possibly find that the sick man of the
East" with his natural allies, may prove tc
be more than an equal match for the Czal
of all the Russias," with his hordes of fol
lowers, and his exceedingly great army.
