George Peabody and Socialism.

Some people imagine that rich men are
bccomming more welded TO riches, more
aggressive in the acquisition of wealth,
AZ the expense of the working classes.
Hence the agitation in favor Of Social
ism. There may be grounds for this inn
agination, but we have yet in our midst
our Peter CoopcrS, our George Pea
body'S, and our Miss Nitingale's-who
think more of the welfare of the strug-
Cling CLASSES than many are aware OF,
aud who employ their time and money
in extending good to as many as posi-.
be in their declining years. One Of
those Is an old retired physician by the
name of j. Il. Mountain, whose address
is Ogdensburgh n Y, who has placed
in his hands simple cure for consump-
ton, catarTh, asthma, headache and
nervousness. The old gentleman has
means which make him Independent, and
he employs his time and money in very
laudab,c enterprise. He sends the recipe
free 20 any person sending for ii, with
instructions for preparing and using. re-
quiring only that the party so sending
enclose stamp to pay the postage. He
has now distributed over one million of
those recipes, and in this part may have
been cured by the use of the same. 1t H.
said to be very reliable, and those who
arc troubled with any Of those diseases
would do well To address the phlanthro-
pic old gentleman, and have trial Of
the recipe, which has cured so many.

Postmaster Kelley made a re-
markably good Democratic speech
at the Republican meeting on Mon
day evening. He announced to his
audience that the Democratic party
was responsible for the check put
on Republican stealing, for reduc-
ing city, county. State and national
expenses, and tie saving of mil
lions Of dollars in taxes every year
to the people. Many of the peo-
pie are aware Of the state of af-
fairs, but when the truth is thus ac-
knowledged by opposition speak
ers, we surely have cause to think
that the Democracy is doing well.
On Monday evening, at the Ger
man Hall, the wives and daughters
of the members Of the Alpena
German Benevolent Aid Society
presented that Society with the
handsomest silk flag that was ever
Hoated to the breeze in this city.
The flag was purchased 10y the la
dies, at a cost of 500, and when
presented, was duly received by
the society, being accepted with re-
marks appropriate to the occasion.
After the presentation, the mem
bers of the society participated in
the festivities of a grand ball and
supper, and it is scarcely necessary
to state that all enjoyed themselves.

We learn that about all Of the
wheat crop in this county has been
taken care of, and the yield is the
best ever given in this country. 1t
is said that in many instances the
wheat will yield very heavy, and
will probably turn out az high as
fifty bushels to the acre. This is
by no means poor showing for
our farmers, and we trust that their
brightest anticipations may be ful-
ly realized.

Absorption Medicated Foot Bath,

The Holman Liver Pad-The Better Way
1t cures by absorption rather than drug
ging the system. 1t has proved, beyond
peradventure, the cheapest, the pleasantest
most convenient, the surest and most sat-
isfactory curative, permanent and thorough
system regulator in the world; and is APP
plicable to the infant, youth and adult Of
both sexes Experience has led to an
honest belief that there is no disease that
can be kept in subjection, or that can be
modified, by the use Of medicine, but what
can be acted upon in far more satisfac-
tory manner by the Holman Remedies
(the Pad, Plastcrs and Medicated Foot
Baths, known as absorption salt), used as
auxiliaries. 1t is also believed that there
is NO disease that medicine will cure but
what can be cured more promptly and eff
fectually by this treatment. Certain it is
that times without number, diseases, uni
versally acknowledged to be beyond the
reach of medicine, have melted away under
the action alone of these remedies. And
the work was done so quickly, with so little
inconvenience to the patient that in many
cases the pain was gone almost ere he or
she was aware. More than a quarter of a
million witnesses bear testimony to these
statements. These are no idle words OF
base misrepresentation, but are susceptible
of proof In the name of humanity, try
them.

Wild Roses.

Wild Roses.
After the spring-tide blossolning there
lingera.
With petals yet unfurled.
And clasped in theory, halt-reluctant
fingers,
The rose of all the world.
A vraeant blossom, unsfraid of sum
mer-
Child of the aftermath
Smiling from every careless, wsyside
conner,
From lane and meadow path.
They touch the hills and fields with
wistful splendor.
She and her sister fair
Sweet honey maids, who unto summer
render
Service without compare.
BY every sluggish brook and pool they
gather
With faces fiu.hed and bright,
Yielding their tender, dewy kisses
rather
To dawn than unto night.
Their faint sweet odor, like soul un.
shriven,
Is fed by memories.
And woodland secrets to the air 10
given
With every rose that dies.
Such shy, frail things, they mock my
vain endeavor
To hear the song they hold.
And so their souls are secret forever
Unfathomed aud untold.
