GEORGE Peabody and Socialism.

Some people imagine that rich men arc
bccommiug 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 i'm
agination, but we have yet in our midst
our Peter Cooper's, our George Pea
bodys, and our Miss Ntingalc's-who
think more of the welfare of the strug-
Cling classes than many are aware Of
and who employ their time and money
in extending good to a. many rs posi-
bic i'm their declining years. One %
those is an old retired physician by tho
name of j u. Mountain, whose address
is OgdcnSburgh, n Y, who has placed
in his hands a simple cure for consump'
ton, catarrh, asthma, headache and
nervousness. The old gentleman has
means which make him independent, and
he employs his time and money In very
laudable enterprise. He sends the recipe
free 60 any person sending for II, with
instructions for preparing and using, re-
curing only that the party so sending
enclose n stamp to pay the postage. He
has now distributed over one million oi
those recipes, and in this part may have
been cured by the use of the same. 1t Is
said to be very reliable, and those who
are troubled with any of those diseases
would do well To address the philanthro-
pic old gentleman, and have trial OF
the recipe, which has cured so many.

To communication to the organ,
Jas. A. Case appears greatly alarm
ed because he is somewhat doubt
full of winning the prize offered to
the homeliest man in the county.
Now, we had not the slightest idea
that James had set his heart so
much on being the winner in that
contest, but we take pleasure in
assuring him that there is not the
least occasion for uneasiness as
regards his being victorious in the
struggle. His prospects are ex-
cellent, and he has no cause to feel
ANYTHING but hopeful as to the
final result, and our best wishes at
tend him in his energetic and whole
souled struggle in the fierce battle
which is near at hand. Oh, vic
tory, it is his.

A large number of settlers are
now taking up homestead in T. 33
n, r. 4 e., in the town of BellS-
nap. The tide of immigration
flows fast into Pressure Isle county
this fall, particularly since some at
tcntion has been paid to freshly
advertise the fact that plenty of
good homesteads are yet left for
the lucky ones who do not pro-
crastinate.-Presque Isle Advance.
Yes, advertising, and letting the
world know that You have lands, or
anything else, to sell or homestead
makes a considerable difference.
There are thousands upon thou
sands of acres of the best farming
lands in the United States, now
living in wait for the enterprising
settler to make farms and homes
of them. If the people of Alpena
county would exert themselves a
little in the direction of encourage
ing emigration into this county,
they would I've wonderfully sur
prised to see what an encouraging
result it would bring about. We
know that there is not a place on
the continent, where a farmer with
limited means to commence with,
can do as well as he canin Alpena
county. The progress made by
those who commenced farming a
few years ago, has encouraged
others to the same undertaking.
But the end is not yet, and three
or four thousand energetic settlers
could find the best of lands here
for farms, either under the home
stead act, or they could purchase
the lands at very low figures from
parties who now own them.
