A lass-lorn youth of this city, whose

our hero had experienced the phenome-

declaration OF our hero made lodge
ment on the mind of his friend and he
watched our aforesaid hero with ludi-
crous sollcitude for thirty-six hours.
During the dark, dreadful and porten-
tous period, no,hiug happened. except
that the s.lfappointed guardian. sus-

A Gard TO the Public.

For many years we have made
two medicines suited to the ailments
of a vast class of sufferers. Thous-
ands 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 coun-
terfeits of our medicides 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 simile of the signature of our
agent, Mr.. Jos. Haydock. To coun-
terfeit is felony. We shall relent-
lessly pursue any one who initiates
this with the utmost vigor of the
law. We most earnestly beg that
the great mass of the American peo-
pie will aid us in our efforts to pro-
tect their health, and help us in our
task of bringing these most unprin-
cipled men to the bar of justice.
Uniformly refuse to purchase Medi-
cines purporting to be ours unless
Mr.. Jos. Haydock's signature is at
tached to each box Of Pills or pot of
Ointment, and the end will soon be
reached.
The public's obedient servants,

THE Transvaal Republic, the State
recently annexed by England, is a
country larger in area than France,
and more or less settled by thinly-
scattered community of farmers. 1t
has two settlements of considerable
importance from colonial point of
view, Potschefstroom and Pretoria,
besides smaller villages. 1t has splen-
did pastoral resources, fine agricultu-
raj capabilities, varied though unde-
veloped mineral wealth, in gold, lead,
coal, cobalt, iron and copper, aid a
climate that can scarcely he sur-
passed. The accession of so valuable
territory forms an event of very
great Importance.

STATE NEWS,

The Sawtelle troupe are playing
in Eureka.
There are $50 dogs in Typo, and
the sun says a sausage feast will be
spread when cold weather sets in.
Eureka Sentinel: The amount of
charcoal consumed daily at the fur
naces in the district will reach, at
the present Gate, close to 10000
bushels. This amount will be
largely increased as the idle fur
naces resume operations. There is
also on hand at the various reduc-
ton works about 100000 bushels,
and larger quantities are arriving,
both by rail and team.
The tax upon the net proceeds Of
bullion from the Eureka mines
for the quarter ending June Both
was 1882 25. OF this amount the
Eureka Consolidated pail over 500
of the total tax collected. 1t is a
rather Insignificant showing, says
the Sentinel, but the present
quarter will exhibit different state
of affairs. The bullion tax will run
up into the thousands, and the pro-
duction for the three months will
be much greater than any former
yield in the history of the district.
Phoebe Record: The latest news
by the aid of the spiritual telegraph
is to the effect that Brother Brigham
had Just reached the hot regions to
which Brother Lee had been con-
signed some time since. Brother
Lee was taking advantage of his po-
sition as an older resident to to give
BRIG" warm reception, and was
accordingly using the largest and
hottest kind of fork 10 make BRIG"
enjoy the festive occasion. Lee
intends keeping it mighty warm for
that old man.

Rutherford B. Hayes is President Of

there is one dissentient voice in all

THE San Francisco Echo says there
is one thing that laborers can fairly
demand: That capital shall enjoy no
Fictitious advantages. This they
ought to demand and insist upon.
They ought to insist upon relief and
entire exemption from taxation for
the benefit Of manufacturing estab.
lshments, steamship lines and rail-
road companies. They ought to in
sist that no person or corporation be
enabled by law to levy tribute upon
the public beyond proper return
for services rendered. They ought
to insist that no person or corpora
ton be enabled to accumulate vast
wealth by the force of patent laws,
or other laws creating monopolies.
In word, they ought to demand an
equal opportunity for all men to ex-
ercise their faculties and powers in
the production and accumulation of
wealth. Further they have no right
to 60. Further they will not be per-
mitted to go. An overwhelming ma
jorlty of the people Of this country
own property, and are personally in.
terested in maintaining property
rights against commuuistic Jewelers..
The latter may as we'll understand
this once for all. They may as we'll
understand that they are powerless
in the presence Of the millions of
property owners of this country.

that have ever made an attempt to

THE temporary squirt in the quick
silver market recently noticed in the
Stock Report having subsidized, rates
have failed back to soc per pound,
at which price sales are freely made.
The decline is probably owing to the

similar policy will be pursued by the

of quicksilver here becomes high

THE ARMY.

The Indian troubles OF the year,
the Mexican border raids, and the
serious labor strikes of recent date
have been made the pretext by por-
tion of the press for demanding an
increase of the army. Some papers
have made the silly statement that
Joseph, with his 200 or 300 combat
ants, and Sitting Bull, with his 1000
warriors-giving him the outside estl-
mate--could bring combined force
into the field greater than the United
States army of $4,000 could spare
from other points to confront them.
The fact is, we are at peace with all
the world "and the rest of mankind"
except a few Indians, and only a
small portion Of our army is in active
service, A considerable portion is
doing garrison duty at places where
there is little use tor troops but to
support certain local rings of con-
tractors for supplies and Transports
ton.
The demand for an increase of the
army really comes from the monopo-
lies that have grown upon the coun-
try until they hold themselves above
all law and wish to indefinitely con-
tinue their power to Cypress and rob
the people. Most of these great cor
porations have had their wealth be-
slowed upon them by the general
government or by the people along
their lines of traffic-really by the
public in either case-and now they
ask for letters to bind their donors
hand and foot, so they may enslave
and rob them for all time. Other
great nabobs have grown up under
the opportunities OF war and the
operation Of revenue laws. These,
too, demand an increase of the army
SO they may feel little more secure
In the possession of their ill-gotten
gains.
We believe the good people of
every State are able to take care of
and keep in subsection all the vicious
and lawless among them, and under
our form of government it is best
that the simple matter of preserving
internal peace be left to the State
authorities. That the military shall
be subordinate to the civil authority
is a law of our government; we
should guard this principle, and not
destroy it by calling for federal
troops at the least sign of commo-
ton in any locality. If more peace
officers are needed, let them be ar-
pointed; but we do not believe in
the policy of keeping great stand
ing army to perform police duty for
the country.

THE "Hard Glass" manufactured
by Siemens of Dresden, by means of
hydraulic pressure, is said to be
stronger than Bastie's glass, in the
proportion of 5 to 8. Its fracture,
according to the English Mechanic, is
Gbrous, not crystalline. Besides be-
ipg stronger, it is also cheaper than
Bastie's "tempered" glass; and, un-
like the latter, sheets Of the Dresden
glass can be cut to any size with the
Diamond.
