DUBITATION.

The excitement caused in Londonby the ar
 rival of the Shah of Persia was greater than that produced by any other event since the allied monarchs after Waterloo Indeed, in some respects it exceeded that, for the ele- ment of wonder and romance was wanting in the latter case. Moreover, the personal ap- pearance of the Eastern despot was itself at tractive. A King in military uniform looks,
 after all, but like any other General officer i;
 but his Majesty of Persia was in his apparel
 at least all that could be expected of such a potentate. His frame and face, it is true, re- minded our Indian officers so strongly of a low-cast native servant that it is said they felt scruples in paying him due honor; but he gleamed with diamonds and precious stones

But he was the ''rage" for all that, and ladies of fashion were dying to make him their guest even for half an hour. The Lord Chamberlain (through whom alone he was accessible) was importuned as he had never been before to grant a share of his company to my Lady. This and my Lady That. If his Imperial Majesty could not come to dine with her, could he not come to lunch and if not to lunch, could he not come to five o'clock tea?

We do not pretend that the Centaur Liniments ill mend q broken leg or pre- form impossibiities, but do say and mean that these Liniments wll working miracles than any thing before discovered. We have thousands of certificates showing how remarkable cures of obstinate cases of Rheumatism, Neuralgia.

The certificates all read one way and the sale is constantly increasing We will send these certificates Dratis. Some of them may be found around each bottle of Eminent. The Liniments are quick, they reliable; they are safe and they are cheap. Among the ingredients used are Witch Hazei Csrbolic, Naphtha. Rock Oil. Mentha and Arnica. There is no flesh, bone uscle aiment which they will not relieve and benefit. The Waite Cemtaur Liniment is fer the hnman frame, while the Yellow I4imiEaent is adapted to the tough muscles and flores of horses and animals. For Stiff Joints, Lameness, 5pavin.

The daily gazette., 1878-11-12

Senator Dill has a plurality Of 4,7s3 in
the Centre Congressional District in
which Ex-Governor Curtin is beaten by
seventy-nine votes. The explanation of
Curtin's defeat is apparent, The Demo-
cracy supported HIM just as heartily as
they supported Mr.. Greeley in 1872
That is, they treated him with coldness,
and he fell. He received the support Of
many leading Republicans, from personal
considerations, especially in his own
county; but the Democracy considered
him too fresh convert 10 be entitled to
such nomination, or probably were un-
willing TO ratify the bargain which pro-
duced it. The Times knows better than
to continue to write nonsense on this
subject. The Ex-Governor may have
been roughly treated We think he has
been. But the rough treatment came
chiefly from his recent associates who dis
trust him, but with whom he chose to
cast his political fortunes. His "change
of base" has brought him humiliation,
bitter and unalloyed; and his fate will
serve as waning to those who, like
him, may be tempted to desert principle
in order to crafty revenge or promote
Observation-Disclosures Press.

Throwing AWAY VOTES The
scattering votes" in the last election
were more numerous than ever before.
1t is not so much of a joke as those who
cast these ballots seem to think; nor does
it show any very great regard for popular
government. On the contrary it evinces
TO certain extent a contempt for the
liberal principles upon which our insti-
tutions are based. Some of those who
vote such tickets may suppose they confer
compliment on those for whom the
scattering vote is cast. But even this
may be held to be doubtful for not un-
frequently these votes are cast to show
the want Of respect or confidence in the
gentlemen whom the people have select
ed to run for such office. In anv light il
is viewed we fail to see that it is produc-
tive of any real good, while it is the
cause of some trouble and even expense
1t is the cause of much annoyance to the
Clerks and Inspectors of elections pro
tracts their labors delays the receipt o.
their returns, and, as will be seen by the
proclamation of the Governor IN another
column, causes additional labor to the
Executive Department. On the whole
we would advise the avoidence of sucf
Voting in future. Had it prevailed u
the same extent in Kent and Sussex OF
the 9th instant, that it did in New Castl,
county, it would become exceedingly
Objectionable. 1t is throwing away vote.
