are still the most thorough and search
ing Cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses of one pill day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote Wig
Crous health.
A, aR's Pills have been known for
more than q quarter of century, and
have obtained worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several assimila-
tive organs Of the body, and are so
composed that distractions within
their range can rarely withstand or
evadc them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and danger
GUS diseases that have bafiled the best
Of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
lime, the safest and best physic for
children. BY their aperient action
they grippe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not intlamed. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
it from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
in all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any deletcrious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar.coating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

How the Law Fails 70 he Enforced in
Republican Pennsylvania.
From the Erie Dispatch }


General Harrison Allen, late auditor
general of Pennsylvania, has abandoned
his residence near Warren to his wife,
anu has announced that he will stop at
no sacrifice to break the bonds between
himself and taithless partner. 1t was
supposed that the case would be settled
in the courts, but on Wednesday after
noon the general heard that his wife
was entertaining stranger at his
house, and, after securing the aid Of
srveral policemen, he proceeded
to arrest the disturbcr OF his domes-
tic peace. Mrs. Allen held the fort
in front with pistol while her compan.
ion escaped from the rear and drove of,
holly pursued by the general and the po-
lice, who were fired upon by the fugitive.
They returned the shots with great lib
erality. No great harm was done by the
bombardment, and the man escaped to
the woods"
The following particulars are given in
special 10 the Titusville Herald from
| Warren, Pa: yesterday afternoon the
chief of police of this place, with General
Harrison Allen, attempted to arrest Geo.
Watson, of Titusville, tor improper con-
duct with the generals wife. Mrs, Allen
resisted an entrance to General Aliens
house, and when the door was forced, she
discharged a revolver without any
damage, but so close as to blow
the powder into the face
of the policeman. Watts on who had been
surprised in the house, about this time
made his escape through the window
and jumped into buggy standing in a
convenient location. The general and
the officers jumped into another carriage,
and gave pursuit. Watson fired two
shots from his buggy, when the officers
returned the fire, keeping up a regular
fusilade for nearly two miles. The
horses were forced to their utmost speed,
and rather than be captured Watson
jumped from his buggy and ran into the
woods. Watson returned to General
Aliens house at night, and sent word to
the officers that he did not intend to run
away; would be down town; wanted no
nonsense; the first man to interfere
would get hurt.

A SPRINGFIELD telegram to the st.
Louis Times says: "Governor Cullom
TO-DAY vetoed the bill to make silver coin
legal tender in this state, giving as his
reason that be does not believe it a wise
measure in Its financial aspect or cOnsti-
tutional. He says he believes the gen.
eral assembly meant to express the
desire that congress would reno netize
the silver dollar. Should silver ever
come to he at o discount, it would flow
to this state. II bills were passed and
Illinois would assume the burdens OF a
debased currency, 1t would not make
money more plentiful, for 1t would ex.
pei an equal amount OF better currency.
1t would not Tighten but rather increase
taxes. 1t would not help debtors, and
the constitution of the United States
and Of the state would forbid its applica-
ton to existing contracts. lie refers to
the local currency Of 'Gl IS evidence of
the disadvantage OF such system In
this state, while other states do not adopt
1t. II coin would remain unchanged In
value this bill would have no effect, but
we cannot say silver will not become
more abundent, and that under this law
would compel our people to take 1t at pal
currency, that is, at discount outside
the state. Discussing the constitutional
question, he says 1t is repugnant to thu
state constitution, as II has q retrenchinl
effect. This bill also interferes with the
power Of congress to regulate the value
Of money and to coin 1t, which, unless
enforced on states, are held to be exclu.
sive. Moreover congress has decided
that the subsidiary silver coin shall be a
legal tender for only five dollars. This
bill attempts to 60 beyond and outside
Of that law. Congress had no intention
OF remandsng this subject to the state
legislature. Finally this is an expert.

TIE Metropolis Times says: "This
week we have made another look around
among the crops. We fear the expecta'
ton for superior wheat crop may not
be fully realized. We have heard many
say that the like Of wheat that would be
raised In Massac county was never before
known. We hope such may be the case
and that the producers may get good
price, but after going Into several fields
we are forced to the conclusion that al
though the crop will no doubt be a good
one, yet the expectation is very much ex
aggerated."
