Sudd en- Changes.

The proprietors OF DoWNs' ELIXIR
frequently hear it remarked ny those
not in the trade, that cough med icines
do not sell much during the summer
months. This is a mistaken idea
The sudden changes to which this eli
mate is subject at all seasons of the
year, renders it necessary to always
have some reliable cough remedy at
hand. Downs ELIXIR is n sure cure
for Coughs, Colds and Whooping
Cough, and all Lung Diseases, when
taken in season, and one dose, we have
no doubt, has many times prevented
consumption aad death. Tae best
certificate that caY be given for any
medicine is daily accorded to Downs
ELIXIR in the fact that it has survived
the storms and tempests of nearly half
century, and is to-day the most pop
ular with those who have known it
longest. 1t has gained this great ia
vor with the public entirely on its own
merits, having had less advertising
done for 1t in the whole time than is
done for some medicines in single
year. For sale everywhere.

war his untiring valOr and skill
wrought much advantage TO the cause
he served, aud brough, him rapidly
repeated promotion. "Col. Parsons
Battery" Of the Fourth Unitel States
Artillery, was famous. Finally, at
Perryville, in Mary land, its duty was
to check the advance of the opposing
army until the Federal forces could be
properly disposed. This work il per.
formed until it vas at length annihl-
lated. Every gun but one had been
silenced, and by that one gun only
Colonel Parsons was left standing.
He saw that TO fire il would only
cause loss of life, without advantage
to the cause he served. lie therefore
calmly drew his sword, turned toward
the .Confederates, placed his hands
sat rest" and standing awaited their
FIRE, wlicA would surely bring him
death at his post of duty. The guns
of some soldiers were already leyelled
at him, when they. were struck down
by the Confederate officer, who cX-
claimed, Don't shoot such a man -
and Colonel Parsons was allowed to
walk of the field.
Here was true devotedness, q
true self-abnegation, a readiness 10
give up life itself wien duty called
him. The same spirit led him, after
the war was ended and his services in
the army were not urgently required,
to enter the Church's service in the
sacred ministry. That service brought
him once more face to face with his
own death, and his heroism was
splendid with devotion to his Divine
Master. He met his death at last
ministesing to those who in othe
years had opposed him on the battle
field. blessed are the dead who
die in the Lord'-The Nurchman.

The Village Boy.

The age from eight to eighteen tries
the metal Of the village boy. Previous
to eight years Of age he hangs TO his
mothers apron strings, more or less,
unless lie enters his Arab life very
early But beyond that uatil he gets
to be man, he runs an extreme risk
School has very little attraction for
dim, home he has cast off, and nothing
useful seems to be able to engage his
attention.
Somewhere rests the responsibility
for the safe keeping and The useful
development Of these bright young
boys. Cannot something be done for
them
Keep them off the streets both day
and night; there is nothing useful for
them to learn there much Of the SUI
periority of country boys comes from
the fact that they do not know what
most of the village boys learn on the
streets. 1t would be blissful ignorance
if the village boy had lie or known it.
Filthy communications reach boys at
every street corner; their after dark
conclavcs arc simply terrible.
Keep the boy at work or at school
during the day 3; he should be kept at
school daring school hours, and then
rested BY light work rather than by
boisterous play. Dressing a garden
in summer, and preparing wood in
winter, with general clearing ip spring
and fall, viii do it. If any parent
sinks this course will reduce the boys
to slaves let them try it for short
time and they will discover it TO be n
splendid condition Of noble servitude ;
and the boy who comes up under it
will make man instead of o loafcr.
Keep the boys IN the house at pigbts,
th:rc are very few occasions during
the year where boys should be allowed
to go beyond the parents eyes after
dark errands can be run before dark,
and the streets at night given up to
men and proving dogs. This will
enable Che boy to be in bed early, and
the habit of retiring early is worth a
fortune TO the boy d.. Franklin

Enjoy Life.

Nature gives us grandeur Of noun
tains, glcns and oceans, and thousands
of means for enjoyment We can de-
sire no better when in perfect health ;
but how often do tue majority of peo-
pie feel like giving it up disheartened,
discouraged and worried out with dis
ease, when there is no occasion for this
feeling, as every sufferer can easily
obtain satisfactory proof that Green's
August Flower will make them as free
from disease as when born. Dyspcp-
sia and Liver Complaint is the direct
cause of 70 per cent Of such maladies
as Biliousness, Indigestion, Sick Head
ache. Costiveness, Nervous Prostra-

ing symptoms. Three doses Of Au-

effect. Sample bottles 10 cents. Try it.

The Case Of John p. Phair.

We have been ruther severely taken
10 task by the Rutland Herald for
having said that our people could
have an opportunity to sign a petit
tioE asking for new trial for Phair;
and that paper assumes to state the
facts and then decide the case. We
presume hat SO able paper as the
Rutland Herald does not intend TO
state anything more than that IN its
opinion there is no new hearing re-
quircd; and, that this is only an in
dividual opinion from which others
may differ, and possibly might be
correct in so differing.
1t is intimatcd that a new trial
might impeach 'either the wisdom or
the fairness of our highest Courts"
We were not aware that request for
Il new trial was an arraignment of the
Court. Nor are we aware that the
Courts assume to be infallible, and
capable. of determining a case in view
of all the evidence advanced on the
trial, as we'll as with reference to all
the evidence which might be discov-
cred after the trial. Because the BoS-
ton Globe has excited some ones
Jealousy, that is no sufficient reason
why Phair should not have new
trial. sBecalse the Globe thinks he
should have, and the Rutland Herald
that he should not nave q new trial,
is no conclusive reason either way
Both opinions should be weighed as
the opinion of two respectable papers.
1Wc should deem 1t 10 bel assuming
considerable to pass our judgment on
case, and hence, argue that the dis
cussion should thereupon be closed
Ifthe Courts are wise and just, will il
harm society to have them try the
case, having the newly discovered eSi.
.dcnce to aid them? IF the evidence
for new trial are "a lot of lies, that
he dared not have spoken in Court
because they would have been "des.
troyed by an investigations" will the
Court be lessl capable of destroying
them on IL new trial? We do not as
sumo toSudge Of the guilt or limo
cence of the accused. 1t is not oul
business. We are not capable of do
ing so. A great many good people
have feeling that there is grea
doubt about the guilt Of Phair. III
may be murderer" 'horsc-thlef,
"rascal" and many more bad thing
besides. But instead of railing +:
man with invented epithets, many be
lievc that all the Courts should ad
dress themselves to the task of find
ing out whether he is guilty of thi
murder beyond reasonable doubt
and if he is, let him be hung but i
not, then give him the benefit of it.
Allow us to suggest that this fear Of
new trial looks as though it was ethe
feared that the accused would brin;
evidence TO substantiatc his innocenc
or that the Court will commit TIL
gross error Of deciding him innocent
Let us not thus impeach "either til
eoisdom or the .ftirness Of our highes
Courts"

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion Of the American
people are to-day dying from the eff
fects of Dyspepsia or disordeFed liver.
The result of these diseases upon the
masses of intelligent and valuable
people is most alarming, making life
actually a burden instead of Il pleasant
existence ofenjoyment and usefulness
as it ought to be. There is no good
reason for this, if yon will only throw
aside prejudice aud skepticism, take
the advise Of Druggists and yonr
friends, and try one bottle of Green's
August Flower. Your speedy relief
is certain. Millions of bottles of this
medicine have been given away to try
Its virtues, with satisfactory result in
every case. You can buy a sample
bottle for 10 cents to try. Three
doses will relieve the worst case. Pos
itively sold by all Druggists on the
Western Continent.

by an advertisement in another paper
in the American Housekeepcr's"
Scale, and the extremely low price in
duced us to send for one for use in our
own kitchen.
We find the scale the most con-
venient and valuable household article
we have. 1t is worth five times its cost
in testing grocers' packages, putting
up preserves, making cake, etc. w.
II. Thompson & Co., No. 235, Wash

manufacturers, and they have the most
complimentary testimonials ofthe scale
possible to be written. They have has
yet no general agent for this county ;
and as the scales are sold exclusively

ly recommend the article for the bene-
fit of our numerous lady readers, and

FASHION NOTES.

-Fish-scale brocade and Persian de-
signs are the popular silks.
New styles in silk hose are black,
with embroidery in white.
Vests, detached and simulated, are
made of bright tinted materials.
-Furs show no change in shape. The
seal-skin sacques will be as popular as
ever.
Round hats are adorned with fancy
wings and breasts, instead of long
plumes.
The latest novelty brooch for ladies
is in the form of bouquet-holder of
oxidized silver or gilt.
-Undressed kid gloves will be worn
this fall. Hazel, prune and steel gray
are the most popular shades.
New designs in chatelaine pockets
are of velvet, handsomely embroidered
in colors and mounted with gold.
Young girls now braid their hair
to form two low-curved loops, spread
out broadly low down instead of doubled
like chatelaine loop.
Among the large variety of slip
pers worn this season, thossx hla..k
velvet, perfectly plain, are the most de-
sirable for the house.
-Worsted mits to wear over kid
gloves in cold weather are among the
novelties. They are gaily covered and
richly embroidered with chenille.
The Juieve dress consists of long
black velvet robe cut en- princesse with
a damask overdress, without sleeves,
open down the entire front, and trim
med with fringe.
Some of the richest dresses or wrap
pers for autumn are made of bronze,
currant gray cashmere, with length
wise plastron down the front, or the
gayest Japanese silk.
Snowy costumes of cashmere are
trimmed with biased bands of the ma
terial edged with narrow gold or silver
braid, and ornamented with innumera-
BILE bullet-shaped buttons to match.
Among the new shapes of ladies'
felt hats are the Derby and the Oxford,
both with stiff crown and narrow rolled
brims. Bands of plush or velvet, and
the new India cashmere feathers, form
the favorite garniture.
"A novelty in velvet for millinery use
is the chameleon, or changeable stuff,
of ground of one color and pile of an
other; and plain cut Lyons velvet is
rivaled in the :" Pekin" or ''corduroy;"
the ground in this, in some cases, being
of contrasting color to the pile.

Nothing Like Medical knowledge.

There !, nothing like medical knowl-
edge. v hen one sees man whose toes
have taken a sudden notion to double
up and the sole of the foot turn inward,
and is told that the man had "some-
thing the matter with his head about
five years ago, and has never been quite
well since," one does not quite under
stand; but when the doctor beams in
and says that the unfortunate has had
cerebral hemorrhage, and that the cor
pus stratum, optic thalamus, choroid
plexus, or'septum lucidum has been in
volved, or that probably lesion in
some other part of the brain has been
formed, and that in consequence there
is a secondary degeneration of the spinal
cord, and that the cause of the toes be
ing fixed and the foot being turned in
ward is contraction of the fleXor
longus digitorum and the tibialis posti-
Gus, the whole thing is perfectly plain.
