Help the Man Who is Down.

There is a great deal of truth in
the following picture of poor
fellow who has been unfortunate
"The world is harsh to man who
Is down. There doesn't appear to
be any place for him among his fell
lows. Those who succeed through
good fortune, or on account of their
deservlngs, seem to take it as an
atfront that the poor devil who is
down has the audacity to keep on
living. Those who knew him in
his prosperous days-if he ever
had any--shun him, and those who
never knew him are very particular
not to make his undesirable &C.
quaintance. If there was any way
OF concealing the real truth in the
case, he might have some show for
climbing up again, but, unfortunately,
there are a hundred ways in which
the fact that he is down is pro-
claimed to an unsympathizlng
world. In tie first place there is
his seedy attire, then his gaunt
countenanee, and the dead, hope
less look in his eye. His actions
bespeak his condition, and the
tones Of his voice are so many ac-
cusing witnesses, giving testimony
against him. The consolation which
such man gets, even when conso-
latlon is rendered generally serves no
other purpose than to make him
feel his degradation all the more
keenly. OF what use is pious
tract to starving man, or tenn
perance lecture to a poor wretch
whose sufferings have been brought
on through yielding to the tempta-
tons of drink? Yet there are very
many good people who think they
have performed their whole duty to
an unfortunate brother through such
rninistrations.

VERY USEFUL TO EVERY ONE
In nc other way can person get
back so large profit for a little
money, as TO expend it in learning
uhot to do-in other words, to have
his brains help his hands. Here is
one way to do this: The small saw
inc or extra production of less than
half cent day, or 3 cents a week,
will now procure a large, beautiful,
cheap Journal, for 1877, splendidly
illustrated, with over 600 fine origi-
nal Engravings, and over Thou
sand Columns of the very best,
plain, practical, trustworthy intor-
NATION about the every day indoor
and outdoor work and comfort OF
every home, in Country, Village and
CITY. This information is not pre-
pared by mere scribblers, but by a
LARGE force of intelligent working
men and women, who know what
they write about, and they are as
sisted by many others, who furnish
inform alton from their own practice
and observation. Such Journal
is the Ansericon Agriculturist, SO
named because started 35 years ago
as a rural journal. but since greatly
enlarged and improved to suit the
daily wants of every man, woman,
ind child, in City, Country, and
the Farmer and Garden

er, the Merchant and Mechanic, the
Professional Man - indeed, all
classes. 1t is packed full of infor-
nation that every one ought to
have. Many single hints and sug-
gestions will repay more than a
whole years cost of the paper. It's
original engraved plans for build
lngs and improvements, with details
of cost, etc., and common-sense di-
rectlons, are worth far more than a
majority OF the costly works on
architecture. Great care is exer-
cised to have every line in the paper
reliable. It's constant, persistent,
and full exposure of a multitude of
Humbugs and swindlers, are alone
worth far more than its cost, and
have saved to its readers and the
country millions of dollars that
would have gone into the hands Of
sharpers. The Departments for
Housekeepers and Children are
very useful and entertaining. In
short, the Anaericaw Agrtcul.urist
is full of good things, and ought to
be in every house in the land.
The circulation is so large
that the Publishers can supply it at
little above the cost Of the printing
paper-or SLIGO year, sent post
paid ; or four copies $40. Take
our advice and send your subscrip-
ton for 1877 (Vol. 36) to ORANGE
JUDD COMPANY, New York. You
will find it pay, and pay well.

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.-For many years
we have made two medicines suited to the
ailments of vast class Of sufferers. Thou
sands Of cures have been made by them, and
in fact, the word failure could not be coupled
with them. But within the last two years
counterfeits Of our medicines have sprung up,
dangerous IN Their close imitation of our
Trade Mark. To secure the people we have
placed upon each genuine box of Holloway's
Ointment the fac smile of the signature of
our agent, Mr.. JOS. Haydock. To counterfeit
is felony. We shall relentlessly pursue any
one who initiates this with the utmost vigor
Of the law. We most earnestly beg that the
great mass of the American people viii aid
US in cur efforts to protect their health,
and help us in our task of bringing these
most unprincipled men 10 the bar of justice
Uniformly refuse to purchase medicines pur-
porting to be ours unless Nr. Jos. Haydock' g
signature is attached to each box of Pills or
pot Of Ointment, and the end will soon be
reached.
The Public's obedient servants,

several weeks, at last puts in an ap-
pearance looking as sprightly neat

edge everything -that the TINES is

Died, on Sunday the 18th inst,
at his residence in Hancock, Mich,
DR.. w. w. Perry. aged SO years,
DR.. Perry was the eldest son of
Hon. w. r. Perry, postmaster, and a
brother of Judge Geo. w. Perry of
this place. He came to Superior at
an early day, remaining here until
1862, when he removed to Hancock,
where, with but a. short intermission,
he resided with his family up to the
time of his demise. The remote
cause of his death may be attributed
to an assault made upon him at
Portage Lake some years ago by a
cowardly ruf1an, from the effects of
which he was Frustrated for a long
time, finally rallying sufficiently to
enable him to pursue his profession,
but never recovering his former
vigor. No man stood higher among
his fellow men than DR.. Perry, and
his death casts a deep gloom over
all who knew him.

A FAILURE IN THE COMMISSION BUsI-
NEss."@The Philadelphia Erening Teie-
graph, an independent republican paper
declares that it is not a commission that
is needed in the Louisiana matter, but
what is wanted dis the courage to 60
right to the point, to do that which is right
to do" The Telegraph adds, with force;
"Suppose that when President Hayes
assumed Office he had found the capitol
of Ohio, or Massachusetts,, or Pennsyl-
vania in the hands and under the control
of gang of POLITICAL adventurers ofSouth
ern birth and breeding, ex-Confederate
bummers, who had left the South for the
South's good, had found them entrench-
ed in office behind federal bayonets, what
would he have done after taking the oath?
He knows that he would have removed
the bayonets and permitted the people of
those States to.say who should rule them,
their own citizens or alien adventures.
The boot is on the other leg, that is all.
Ohio, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania
have sent their played-out political hacks
to Louisiana, they hold the capitol, and
federal bayonets support them in doing
so. Remove the bayonets and the carpet
baggers will also remove"

One Of Grants last acts was to provide
life Office for his brother-in. law, Sharp,
who, for eight years previously, had held
the sinecure of Marshal for the District of
Columbia, the duties of which had been
faithfully performed by his chief deputy,
George w. Phillips, whom Hayes over
slaughed to illustrate the beauty of civil
service reform, by appointing Fred Dsug-
lass to a place for which he is wholly un.
fitted by experience or knowledge
With tender regard for Grants wishes
it is now announced in army orders, thai
mMajor Alexander Sharp, Paymaster
United States Army, will reportlin per
son to the Paymaster- General for duty
in Washington, while officers who haS
won recognition for gallant serviee il
war are sent to the Western wilds, il
order to make room for the new favorite
whose only claim was that of beinl
brother-in-law to the late Administrs
ton, under which he had ALREADY fat
tened at the capital.
