"The Conflict of Ages"

Men differ on nearly every issue. There
have always been opposite parties in politics
and religion, though the measures fought
over one day may be universally adopted at

subject to revolutionary disturbances When
Drs. Harvey and Jenner announced their dis
coyeries, they were held in contempt and rid

yet to-day they are received and honored by

HOW HE GOT OUT or IT.

The following candid statement is from the
Postmaster of North Clymer, Ny. After
reading it, will anyone undertake to say that
it would be possible to find language where
with to express the value Of remedy pos
sessed of such capabilities for renovating the
human system and beneiting the commune
ty? Yet, in point of fact, this is only rep
resentative expression of the grateful souls
that day by day Voluntarily add their testi-
mony Still there is a feeling that whatever
may be advertised as a proprietary medicine
must have more or less eXaggeration at
tached to it, whereas the exact fact is that,
generally. speaking, there are no medi-

and pains and with so little regard to eX-
pense, in order to insure entire precision of
action and general effectiveness:

Before the Committee on Claims to-
morrow the Chief State Detective will
try to show that Thomas Cahill muir
dered Bridget Landregan. Cahill asks
the Legislature to compensate him for
loss of time and annoyance, by reason
of alleged false imprisonment. 1t is
said that Cahill is in ireland. The
Hon. John E. Fitzgerald. Cahill's coun-
sci, had about persuaded the committee
to report resolution for the payment
Of money to his client, but the Chief
Detective sent word that he would like
a hearing. Gen. Stephenson thinks he
can prove that Thos. Piper, who con-
fessed to the murder of Miss Landregan,
was insane, and confessed crimes which
he never committed. ltis possible that
the last confession of Piper, intrusted to
Sheriff Clark, and never published, NAV
be put in as evidence.-Boston Herald.

Landing Live Stock In the Bermudas.

A writer in the New York Sua says:
1t is about a year since, with all the
strangers in the town, went down
to the waters side in Hamilton, the
chief port of the Bermuda Islands, 10
see the landing of the cattle from the
Eliza Barss. she had made the trip in
less time than the equally ugly and
vacillating, but staunch, steamship
Gamma had occupied in bringing US
from New York to Bermuda
The cattle, less than two weeks be-
fore their landing, had been browsing
on their native prairies, and were en-
barked as soon as they finished their
trip from Chicago in the close confine-
ment of the cattle cars. They are sea-
sick and lose appetite like human be-
ings, and at the prospect or release
they advance to the ships side with the
hopeful animation Of swinging tail,
willing feet, and lively shake Of the
head. The tIeacherous platform Of es-
cape leads plumb to the ships side,
which is the height Of cottage
above the water. The Eliza
Barss is moored considerable dist nee

prised, and reluctant, are persuaded,
urged, goaded, and finally pushed
down, head foremost, side foremost,
tail foremost, or northeastern horn
foremost into the sea, as may happen
in the effort to get them to the plunge;
and they reach the water sometimes on
one hOOi, but oftener on the eyebrow;
they disappear utterly for moment,
and on coming to the surface are lassoed
by men waiting in a small boat, who
fasten them all around the little boat so
thickly that their horns interlace. Then,
their heads above water, they come
ashore, dragged or swimming with the
little boat, being released only in time
to scramble up the steep, stony shelf
below the slaughter and the no.
tel for beastly transient guests.
Cattle always swim against the wind;
and if it was strong blow from the
ocean, they would, on rising from their
plunge bath, strike out facing the wind,
regardless of shores, and swim out to
sea direct. The landing of cattle from
the Eliza Barss is never sighted sight
in Bermuda; and Notwithstanding the
fright of the untoward beasts, their
sudden and somersault plunge is al
ways exciting.

A Wicked Imposition.

At Is years of age this lady married
wealthy old fellow of 60, with one
foot in the grave. Could any prospect
have seemed more delightful? One
foot in the grave, recollect! All, but
mark my stOry's sequel. At IS, say
they, she was a lovely creature, but
when l made her acquaintance she was
passe and worn; while he-he ought to
have been ashamed of himself, but was
not-was hale young thing Of IS, and
evidently good for another half-dozen
years to come. You see he had mar
ried. as twice before remarked, with
one foot in the grave; but no earthly
consideration would induce him to pop
in the Other-the abandoned old ruffian!
THINK how that woman was defrauded!

Some Queries.

Mr. EDITOR: The County Commissioners
having determined as understand, to assume
the debt of the School Board, and issue the
ponds OF the county in payment thereof, l with
others of your readers would like a little infor-
nation on one or two points connected there
with.
In the first place SCI 900 is very large debt
for the county to assume, although it may have
been incurred in the audable purpose of pro-
Vldlng means to educate our children, especially
as the debt was contracted without any author
ity OF law. Now, this large amount passes
through the hands of the County Commission
ers or their Treasurer. Are the Commissioners
or their Treasurer required to give bond for the
faithful discharge of their duties in handling
this money!
The money passes into the hands of the Treas
urer OF the School Commissioners, for the pay.
bond?
have heard that ii has been customary for
the treasurer of the County Commissioners to
receive small per centage or commission upon
county funds passing through his hands. If so,
are any commissions to be deducted by the
county Commissioners or their Treasurer out
OF the proceeds arising from the sale of the
school bonds?
simply ask, sir, for information and do not
ihtend Inc slightest reflection upon the honora-
pie gentleman composing the County and School
Boards; but II is customary, lwhen public funds
are expended by any organized board of public
officers, to require security for its faithful dis
Dursement, the same as in money transactions
between individuals.
l am told that the Bank OF Baltimore, holding
the school Boards note for 81, 600, were about
to bring suit and levy upon the school houses
to recover the debt, and upon this representa-
ton the County Commissioners decided to fund
the debt. Does it not seem little singular,
Mr.. Editor, that bank should want to call in

per cent. interest, amply secured, at time when
