Are These Workingmen ?

Sixty years ago my father went from
Massachusetts, 10 ohio with young wife
and three BOYS In Il few years four girls
were added and another boy Ny father.
ST Years Old, has always been a hard work
er on the same farm, and the oldest daugh-
ter is a farmers wife line other siN chii-
dren, 10y hard work at farming, splitting
rails. cutting wood, building houses, max
ing furniture, washing dishes making
clothes, teaching school and ltcturing,
with the djd Of their hard working, self
DENYING parents, all graduated from col
lege. The sons are all preachers ami
professors. All are working according to
their capacity, physically and mentally,
for the good Of man. OF the grandch
dren, two are farmers, and one a farmers
wife. Seven al professors and two pro
lessors' wives. None Of Us are able to live
without work, ana all Of Us are decided
friends Of the Iaboring class. We all
sought. with great carneStness, the eman-
cipation Of the most oppressed laborcrs ot
our country. We have no use for men or
women who are beyond, above or below
labor. Now are we all entitled to place
in the workingmen'S party? We all think
so; we have no other place to 90. None
of us are bond holders, for we are not
able to own bonds. We wished we were
when our country needed to sell bonds.
We belong to the laborng class; we have
no other place. We are their firm friends,
and oppose everything that opposes them,
Yet we all without one exception abom-
mate the principles, the spirit, the meas
urcs and the men that control the 50 called

A NOVEL; TANK When the deputy
Shertls made seizure on Franklin street,
recently, they accidentally discovered an
ingenious device for conceaing liquor
In passing from one story to another they
went under a low archway. one Of the
deputies accidentally hit his head against
the arch, which did not seem as solid
as was to have been expected. In
vestigatlon revealed that the archWay
had been filled in with wide tin tank,
thick at the top and thin at the bottom.
This tank was divided into two equal
parts, one half filled with gin and the
other with rum. The top of the tank
was made thick, SO that when anybody
trod on the floor above, it would not
break. From either end of the archway,
rubber pipes passed through the wall to
a room below and there met in casing
in the wall. 4 spring in the casing open
ed a small door where two little faucets
were revealed from which the rum and
gin could be drawn off. The casing and
wall was lathed, pastered, whitened and
painted, 50 as to conceal the contraband
arrangements. 1t is said this has worked
without interruption fort two years. Port

New York, Jan. 5.--The question of
doing away with the present system of
commercial travellers selling goods by
a hutter among those interested. One
traveller says he thinks the abolition of
commercial travelling would be suicidal for
New York as other cities will then make
more strenuous efforts to get the trade, and
good travellers will seek those cities for
and obtain employment. Being known to
customers they will be able to get the
trade as we'll for one house as another and

Mr.. Lervsipger, q farmer living near
Lake Dupue," says the LaSalle Democrat,
has 9 novel way of rescuing some of his
corn, about forty acres OF it being
threatened with inundation. Every day
for the past two weeks he leaves his home
in large skiff, taking also two smaller ones
with him. He and his son take a small
boat each and sail down between the rows
of corn and hnsk it. They then convey it
to the larger boats and when they pick a
load return home with the corn, rejoicing. y

We never suspected what it was all

Mr.. West look SO serious and the thoughts
of growing old probably made him keep SO
still about it. Since that day twenty FIVE
years ago, success and fortune have at

Failure

CHICAGO, Jan. 4,-Clement, Morton &
Co., Wholesale dealers in clothing, on
Wabash avenue, suspended to-day. The
liabilities are stated at $3.50 900; assets:
Stock, $l50O00: good bills, 100000;
worthless bills, 100000. The cause of
the suspension was stagnation of trade and
consequent inability to collect. The individ
ual partners own property which has cosI
$250,000 present value unknown. The
actual capital of the firm is 100000, but
it had fallen off from that figure consider
ably. The firms debts are chiefly in the
east, $4,000 being due to manufacturers
for stock bought, aud the rest of the
liabilities on account of money borrowed
Provided they can manage the assets they
are confident of paying dollar for dollar anC

says the Thompsonville, Conn.,, Savings
bank is found to be unsound, and the bank
commissioners have forbade to make fur-
ther payments of principal or interest, to
depositors until the amount due shaii De
scaled down according to the shrinkage OF
the assets; this shrinkage is chiefly due to
losse on stocks Of the month, and Park

urer of the Savings bank thinks depositors
will lose only six months interest and four
per cent. of denosits.

far beYond any similar remedy.

Mr.. H G. Farell-Dear Sir; Actuated by sense
of gratefulness, | submit the following an in
stance of the utility of your great medicine. My
child, three years old, was suddenly attacked with
a terrible disease, which in less than six hours
prostrated it to total helplessness, The limbs be
came so rigid that not joint could be bent; the
flesh turned black and cold and entirely deprived
of feeling; the eyes fixed partially closed and al
together blind. following this deafness to all
sounds; the spine became contracted and so curved
that when lying on its back the head and heels only
touched. Indeed the chIld presented every ap-
pearance of being dead. Immediately on the at
tack, the family physician called in. and for
three weeks he labored to restore it to feeling, but
all in vain, alIhouA 1t blisered dozen times
and various rubefaCient Liniments applied. A con-
sultation of physicians was then held, but TO no
purpose. the was then brought before the
Medical Society, but nothing could be suggested
which had not already been DONE and the doctor
then told me he could do nothing more. We then
commenced applying your Linment freely over the
entire length OF the spine and you may imagine a
parents joy, when, after few applications, re-
| turning animation apparent, ana it rapidly re-
covered with the exception of the sight, which did
not become perfect for near a month. The child is
now healthy and robust can tie. Five other
| cases of the same kind occurred previously in my
neighboorhood, all of which died, when there is nc
| doubt if your Liniment had been used they would
| have recovered. HENRY q. CLELAND,
