An EpitOme OF Business Transactions
for 1875 In indianapolis.

A review of the business of the year
1876 shows that the wholesale trade has
been kept up, and is in as good condi.
ton as it was at the close of 1876. Pros
poets for the coming year are good gen.
orally, and business men are quite hopeful.
During the year there have been re-
ceived and forwarded 627,56S freight
cars, 440,751 loaded, an increase over
1876 of about $4,000.
The following are the receipts and
shipments by rail during the year: Re-
ceipts: Flour, 1854, 100 barrels; wheat,
1871 1856 bushels; corn, Is, 1853, 40 BUSH
els; oats, 1922, 400 bushels; rye, 549, $50

Public Executions in France.

According to the laws of France, all
executions must be public. But to
avoid as much as possible the evil effect
of such spectacles upon crowd, the au-
thorities try to keep the date of their
occurrence secret, never permitting the
day to be known beforehand, and fixing
the hour Immediately after daybreak.
Yet it has been found impossible to baulk
the morbid curiosity Of the sensation
seekers of Paris. The shopkeepers in
the neighbOrhood are promised large
fees if they will give timely warning Of
the erection of the scafold. Men have
been known to spend every night for a
week on the Rue de la ROquette 60 as to
be certain to be on hand when the hour
arrived. But the readiost way of dis
covering when the appointed time ar
rives is to watch certain huge wooden
edifice or shed on the Rue Folie- Regnault,
wherein the guillotine is kept. Ill
sheltered is the "wOOd of justice from
the inclemency of the weather, for the
Inhabitants of the neighborhood consider
it a sort of religious duty to throw stones
at the windows of the structure SO long
as whole pane of glass remains in one
of them. Thither about midnight on
the night preceding the fatal day, the
executiOner and his assistants repair to
get out and put in order the various
divisions of the red machine. an opera
ton which demands great care and ex-
actness, as any damage or shock to the
various parts might bring about some
terrible hitch in the operations. Two axes
are always provided lest by any any &C
cident one should become dulled or in
jured. The great basket which serves
to secure, not the head of the criminal
merely, as is generally supposed, but his
body as well, requires a separate wagon
for its transportation. This basket be-
comes the poor wretch's coffin, the corpse
being transferred therein to the crimi-
nails burying-ground without further
ceremony. There the executiOner's aid
takes possession of any good article of
clothing which the criminal may have
worn, a prayer is said over the remains
by the prison chaplain, and then, un.
coflined and unshrouded, the corpse is
thrown into the hole prepared for it, the
severed head being placed between the
legs. As a proof of the falsity of the
sensational rumors respecting the dura-
ton Of intelligence and the power of
motion in the head after it has been cut
of, it has been remarked that the posi-
ton of the eyes never changes after the
knife has once fallen, remaining open or
closed as they were in the last moment
of the victims life.

Come Now and Let M nseasOn Together.
Why do people 80 frequently say to DR..
Pierce, ~ suppose your Golden Medical
Discovery cures everythingT Because 1t
has been the practice Of knavish charlatans
TO manufacture worthless nostrums and at
tempt to dupe the ignorant and credulous
by recommending them to cure every form
OF disease. To such an extent has this been
practiced that II is no wonder that many
have acquired prejudices against all ad.
vertised remedies. But DR.. Pierce does not
advertise his standard preparations as "cure.
alis," does not claim that they will perform
miracles, but simply publishes the fact that
\ they have been developed as specifics for
certain forms OF disease for which he recon-
mends them, after having tested their ef-
| hcacy In many hundred cases with the most
gratifying success. 1t is a fact known to
every well.infOrmed physician that many
single remedies possess several different
| properties. Quinine, for instance, has q
tonic quality, which suggests its use in cases
OF debility; an anti-periodic, by which it is
| efficaciOus in ague and febrifuge property,
which renders 1t effcacious in cases OF fever.
The result of its administration will also
vary with the quantity given and the cir
cumstances under which it is employed. So,
likewise, the Golden Medical Discovery pos
sesses both pectoral and alternative, or blood.
cleansing properties of the highest order.
BY reason OF these two prominent properties
1t cures two classes of diseases. First, those
OF the respiratory organs, as throat, bron.
chial, and lung affections, chronic coughs,
and asthma, and second, diseases of the
blood and glandular system, in which af.
fections all skillful physicians employ al.
teratives, as in cases Of blotches, eruptions,
ulcers, swellings, tumors, abcessts, and in
torpOr of the liveror biliousness." While
| its use is, by its combination of properties,
suggested in CAGES of pulmonary consump.
| ton, yet you need not take it expecting it
| will cure you If your lungs are half con.
sumed, nor because il is recommended as a
blood medicine would its proprietor advise
you to take 1t expecting It to cure cancer.
1t will not perform miracles, but it will cure
many grave forms of disease.
