That's right, whistle to keep up

Interesting 10 Cigar Dealers

Section S,4O6 of the U. S, Revised
Statues reads as follows:
"Whenever any stamped box con-
tanning cigars, cheroots or cigarettes,
it shall be the duty or the person in
whose hands the same is to destroy
utterly the stamp thereon, And any
person who wilfully neglects or re-
fuses to do so, shall, be fined not ex-
ceeding fifty dollars and imprison-
ment not less than ten days nor more
than six months. And any person
who fraudulently gives away or ac-
cepts from another, or who sells, buys,
or uses for packing cigars, cheroots,
cigarettes, any such stamped box,
shall for each such ofiense be fined
not exceeding one hundred dollars
and be imprisoned not more than one
year. ANY revenue officer may de-
stroy any emptied cigar box upon
which cigar stamp is found"
The National Republican newspa-
per is the most unhappy organ in
the country. A day or two since it
turned upon Hayes and gave him a
drubbing on, account Of his Southern
policy and intimated that Tilden was
about to bring a quo wdrranto to Dust
Hayes from the White House, be-
lieving that all the members of the
Louisiana returning board would now
certify the electoral vote of that State
for Tilden and Hendricks; and on
Monday morning, in double-ieaded
editorial itcalls upon Secretary Sher'
man to give up the Treasury portifo-
lilo, urgingas reason that the present
financial policy of the Secretary il
carried any further will cause troub-
lie, and if persisted in for any length
of time will bankrupt the country
The republican concludes by calling
upon Hayes to request the immediate
resignation of the Secretary. Inas'
much as it is pretty well known that
Sherman is the power behind the
throne, having appointed himself to
his present position, the last remark
of the Republican savors slightly Of
the ridiculous. John Sherman won't
resign as long as the Fraudulent Pres
ident continues in Officer.

Mhnt llle war IL About.

In order to understand the real OBJ
iect of the war which Russia has de-
clared against Turkey, the reader
will need to take a look at IL map Of
that portion of Europe and Asia
Russia is o vast country, extending
from the Arctic Ocean to the Black
Sea. Notwithstanding she covers
one-seventh of the habitable territory
of the globe, Russian commerce is
hedged in on the north and west, one
half of the year, by ice, and is ham
pered on the south by Turkish rule.
She can not get to the Mediterran-
can and thence to ~the ports of the
world, except through Turkish terri
tory. The control Of the Bosphorus
by Turks is to Russia what the con-
troll of the mouth of the Mississippi by
a hostile nation would be to the
United States. Russia wants an un-
DISTRACTED outlet to the sea, such as
We have to the Gulf. And she will
never cease the contest until she ac-
complishes it. She tried to gain this
end in 1929, and again in 1875, BY
what was known as the Crimean war.
Both times she failed; and she may
fail again in 1877; but it is her des-
tiny to win in the end.-W Register.

Allied Enemies to Health.

In many of the fairest and most fertile dis
tricts of North and Tropical America, air and
water are allied enemies to health, both being
impregnated with the poisonous noiasmata
which produce chills and fever, bilious remit
tents and febrile disorders of a still more ma
hgnant type. Fortunately, sure preventive
and curative of such destructive maladies is
to be found in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a
vegetable preparation which is infinitely to be
preferred, both on account of lis efficacy and
freedom from all hurtful properties, to the
deleterious mineral and alkaloid remedies of
the pharmacopoe. 1t is moreover, the reigning
specific for dyspepsia, debility, constipation,
ness, promotes appetite and sleep, and is a
capital antidote to depression of spirits.

While the Russians and Turks alter
nately gain and lose ground, the adj
venturous Montenegrins profit by their
engagements, and constantly add to their
territory. They have Nicsics, and
promise before long to seize every one
of the positions they have coveted. Their
success is the more remarkable from the
fact that they are not, as has been re-
ported, we'll armed. There are bat
talions armed with very large breech-
leaders. None have bayonets, few
have only revolvers, and only small
proportion have yataghans. The ar

barded is thus described by a CORE

muzzle-loading rifed guns about - cwt.,
and already much deteriorated, captured
at MEDIUM. An old thirty-six smooth
bore, also captured at MEDIUM, is en-

Coming to an Understanding.

The Memphis AVGlanche tells how q
Northern soldier found the soft spot in
an ancient, unloved and solitary maid
EMS heart. During the war this woman,
having reached the venerable age of 60
years, lived alone in jackson county,
Tenn, and there was none to protect
her against the rude buffets of the
world. IF any flower of affection for the
other sex had ever warmed and beau
titled her maiden heart, it bloomed in
secret and 6 wasted it's sweetness on the
desert air." At this time, which tried
mems souls" she continued to live
alone, unterrifed by the evils of civil
war; One day. while the city was occu-
pied by Federal troops, soldier went
into her potato patch and commenced
helping himself to the potatoes. She
soon discovered his presence, and, rush
ing out, she screamed:
"Get out of my potato patch, you
vagabond p
Soldier shant do it. Your sons
are in the army fighting against us now,
and I am going to have all the potatoes
l want. "
Maid You're liar.
Soldier" Well, if your sons amt
your husband is, and I'm going to have
these potatoes"
Maid" You're a liar, sir; T have got
no husband. ;"
Soldier" Well, if your husband amt
your sweetheart is.
Maid" Well, 7 declare (softening),
who told you | had sweetheart ?"
Soldier" Never mind.
Maid" Well, reckon you can have
few potatoes, but don't take more'n
you want for your own use.
