" 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 another, and those sacrificed regarded as
heroes and martyrs. Medicine has also
been subject to revolutionary disturbances.
When Drs. Harvey and Jenner announced
their discoveries, they were held in con-
tempt and ridicule by an incredulous and
ignorant public, yet to-day they are
received and honored by all as benefactors.
When DIR. Pierce announced his Discovery,
many seemed to doubt, and were sl1eptical
concerning all medicines and doctors, but
proof of merit has dispelled all doubt, and
to-day the Golden Medical Discovery is the
standard remedy in curing the most
obstinate diseases of the liver and blood,
having almost entirely superseded the old
time sarsaparillas by reason of its superior
merits.

never saw such sore cured. l commenced
taking your Golden Medical Discovery

bottles of Discovery, my leg was entirely
well, and has remained so ever since,-a
period of over tive years, l would
not swap it for fifty wooden legs.

FrightfaI Fall.


About half past five o'clock Wednesday
evening week, Charles, aged between
five and six years, son of Mr.. James f.
Newlin, of the Adams express company,
made narrow escape from instant death.
Mr.. Newlin resides on Fifth street near
Strawberry avenue, and his little son while
playing ball accidentally cast the plaything
upon the cornice above the door in front of
the house, located about twelve or fifteen
feet above the marble steps. In order to
get it he crawled out through the window
from the second story, and was just in the
act of securing it, when his foot slipped
and precipitated him headformost over the
cornice, toward the solid marble stoop
below. Fortunately a colored girl, a
servant in the family, came out of the
door with bucket in her hand, just in
time to catch Charley's fall, the lad strik-
ing her OF the back. The shock threw her
off her feet, but saved the child from
having his brains dashed ont. Both child
and servant are doing well. Harrisburg

Earthquake in South America.

PANAMA, June liz BY the arrival of
the steamer "Oroya," from Calao on the
2Sth ult, we have fuller details of the dis
asters suffered on the coast from earth
quakes and tidal waves. The towns of
africa, Iquique, Ponta de Labas Pahellon
de Rica, Chanavaya, Huanillas, Tocopilla,
Corija, Mejiltones de Bolivar Antafagasta
and Chanarl are nearly all destroyed.
About GOO lives only were lost. The de-
struotion of property is estimated at $780,
100000, confined mostly to the coast
although the town of Tarapaca, twenty
three leagues inland, and the villages of
Rica, Matilda and Cinchoues, far in the
nte rior were more or less ruined. The
shipping of guano from the southern de-
posits will be indefinitely suspended as all
facilities in the way of launches, chutes
wharves, water condensers and buildings
of all kinds have been swept away.
Antafagasta, Mexillones, Tocopilla and
Cobija, towns in the coast of Bolivar, met
with the same misfortune of earthquake
and tidal wave at once and are in an
identical condition with Iquique and
Aricia. At Antafagasta several lives were
lost. Mexillones was visited by q tidal
wave sixty-fve feet in height. Two-thirds
of the town was completely obliterated.
At Mexilones six persons were drowned.
At Tocoplla little or nothing remains of
the town. A mine called La Pena Blanco
four miles to the southwark, sank it,
smothering 200 worlSmen, of whom forty
were Cornish miners.
Cobija, the principal town of the Boil
Wan coast, has lost three-fourths of it,
houses. The wave, thirty-fve feet high,
swept the main business street and left it
as level as the desert. Wharves and
launches were all carried out to sea. All
of these towns are in the greatest distress.
Chilli has escaped without injury. The
northern ports of Peru were damaged but
p little, although the sea was running re-
markably high. Efforts for the relief of
the distressed are being made. Chaniva
va, the little town at the guano deposit
known at Paballor De Plea, with four
hundred houses, to-day has only two
standing. Here, as at Iquique, the earth
quake was followed by fire. The sea came
in and extinguished the conilagration, but
as it retired carried off all that remained
of the place. In one of the guano cuttings
thirty laborers were buried by the falling
earth and sufIocated. Amongst the ship
ping at least 200 people were KILLED.
Bodies were floating around in the bay and
pestilence is feared. AT Hoanilos, another
guano loading station, the damage inflicted
was fearful ; all the houses were destroyed.
The wave which succeeded the earthquake
and completed the work of destruction,
was nearly sixty feet high.

THE SENTINEL.
THE MODEL SUBSCRIBER.


GOOD morning, sir; Mr.. Editor, how are
yonr folks, to-day?
J owe for your next years paper; ! thought
I'd come and pay,
And Jones is agoin 10 take it, and this is his
money here;
] shut down lendin' it to him, and then coaxed
him 10 try il a year.
And here is a few items that happened last
week in our town;
thought they'd look good for the paper, and
SO just jotted err down.
And here's bushel of russetls my wife picked
expressly for you:
A small bunch of flowers from Jennie, she
thought she must do something. too.
You're doing the politics bully, as all orr
family agree
Just keep yonr old goose quill a.ilappin', and
give Them good one for me-
And now you are chuck full Of business, and
won't be taking your time,
I've things of my own must tend to-good
day, sir, believe / will climb"
The editor sat in his sanctum, and brought
down his Est with a thump,
'God bless that old farmerl" he muttered,
'he's regular jolly trump
And its thus with our noble profession, and
thus it will ever be sill;
There are some who appreciate its labor and
some who perhaps never will.
But in the great time that is coming, when
Gabriel's trumpet shall sound,
And they who have labored and rested shall
come from The qniyerng ground
And they who have sftiven and suffered to
teach and ennoble the race,
Shall march to the front Of the column, each
one in his God-gvcn places
AS they march through the gates OF the City,
with proud victorious tread,
The editor and his assistants will not be far
from the head

WHERE WE CANE FRoM. If man is
only sublimated monkey he cannot be
indifferent to the condition of the crea-
lures who grin and chatter on the lower
branches of his family tree. And when,
as only few years ago, an anthropoid
ape in the geological Gardens in London
was so refined in his manners as to be
entitled to the name OF the Chesterfield
Of chimpanzees," was good reason for
feeling hopeful for the future of our poor
relations. This ape would walk forward
TO meet visitor to his quarters, extend
his arm to the stranger, and at table he
would sit in chair, clink his wine glass
with neighbor, and, after drinking
would use napkin to wipe his mouth in
the most approved style. In fact, such
was the polish which this refined monkey
acquired that the contrast between his
manners and those Of some OF his attend
ants was rather distressing to believers
in the superiority of man.
FASHION. Fashion rules the world
and most tyrannical mistress she is
compelling people to submit to the most
inconvenient things imaginable for fash
ions sake.
She pinchcs our feet with tight shoes
or chokes US with tight neck handker-
chief. or squeezes the breath out of our
bodies by tight lacing. She makes poo-
pie sit up at night when they ought to
be in bed, and keeps them in bed in the
morning when they ought to be up and
doing. She makes it vulgar to wait on
ones self, and gentecl to live idle aud
useless. She makes people visit when
they would rather stay at home, eat when
they are not hungry. and drink when
they are not thirsty. She invades our
pleasures and interrupts our business.
She compels our people to dress gaily,
whether upon their own property or that
of others whether agreeable to the word
If God o. the dictates of pride.

Some Hints upon Personal Manners

1t is sometimes objected to books upon
etiquette that they cause those who con-
suit them to- act with mechanical re-
straint, and to show in society that they
are governed by arbitrary rules, rather
than by an intuitive perception of what
is graceful and polite.
This objection is pnsound, because it
supposes that people who study the theory
of etiquette do not also exercise their
lowers of observation in society, and
obtain, by their intercourse with others,
that freedom and case of department,
which society alone can impart.
Books upon etiquette are useful, in
asmuch as that they expound the laws of
polite society Experience alone, how
ever, can give effect to the precise
manner in which those laws are required
to be observed.
Whatever objections may DO raised to
the teachings of works upon etiquette
there can be no sound argument against
series of simple and brief hints, which
shall operate as precautions against
uistakcS III nerSOHal cOnuuct.
Avoid intermedIliug with the atfairs
Of others. This is a most common fault.
A number of people seldom meet but
they begin discussing the affairs of some
one who is absent This is not only
uncharitable but positively unjust. It
is equivalent to trying cause in the
absence of the person implicated. Even
in the criminal code prisoner is pre-
sumed to be innocent until he is found
guilty. Society, however. is less Just
and passes judgment without hearing
the defence. Depend upon it, as a GER
tain rule, that the people who unite with
you in discussing the affairs of others
will proceed to scandalize you the mo-
ment you depart
Be consistent in the avowal of princi-
pies. Do not deny to-day that which
you asserted yesterday. If you do, you
will stultify yourself, and your opinions
will soon be found to have no weight.
You may fancy that you gain favor by
subscrviency; but so far from gaining
favor, you lose respect.
Avoid falsehood There can be found
no higher virtue than the love of truth.
The man who decoives others must him
self become the victim of morbid dstrust
Konwng the deceit of his own heart,
and the falsehood of his own tongue, his
eyes must be always filled with suspicion,
and he must lose the greatest of all hap
riness--conidence in those who surround
him.
Avoid pride. If you a:o handsome,
God made you so if you are learned,
some one instructed you; if you are rich,
God gave you what you own. 1t is for
others to perceive your goodness but
you should be blind to your own merits
There can be no comfort in deeming
yourself better than you really are that
is self deception. The greatest men in
all history have been the most humble.
