At the earnest solicitations Of very many Of cur
friends of the drug trade and still greater num-
Der OF the people, who have personally expef
enced the marvellous pain-relieying and healing
influence OF the St. Jacobs Oil, we would by this
means open for 1t wider field, by bringing it %
the direct notice of the English speaking public
Nothing that could be said or written will carry
such conviction Of its superiority and worth a. .
personal trial. And as such trial entails but q
comparatively trif.ng expense, (the article coay
only fifty cents bottle), every sufferer can have
cheap and positive proof of all claims advanced
in its favor.
In adopting this method, among Others of Civ.
ing broad publicity to the St. Jacobs Oil. we ad-
here to our business custom, which is based upoa
the conviction that there is nothing unmereantile
or unpofessional In giving the dest notoriety 10

medical or other nature; and we Furthermore be.
lieve that the sweeping objections Occasionally
raised against advertised articles are born of dis
honesty rather than of unbiased judgment An,
however by such advertising the really useful and
valuable must come into competition with tho
worthless and dangerous every one should exer-
else intelligent discrimination in favor Of goods
which have special and undoubtpd advantages y

That the St Jacobs Oil possesses such advantages
in the the highest degree. must readily appear By

A Warning to Girls.

Sweet are the diversions of limo

less. Dainty Llda Smith. u Louis
vile LASS has had during the past
year no higher aspirations thar
chewing gum, and the mobility OF
the lower section of her countenl
ance has increased from week to
week. On Saturday week she was
very thirsty, ahd went to the
kitchen to get drink OF cold
water; and when she returned
her jaws were moving rapidly.
Her motber told her to throw the
chewingsum away. The girl point.
ed to the mantelpiece where she
had laid her mOtithful of wax be-
fore going into the Kitchen. There
was nothing in her ui0uth; and yet
her jaws were moving rapidly.
Her mother teased, implored, com.
mantied the child to keep her face
straight, and still the jaws were
moving rapidly. Aphysician came
and put tight bandase over the
childPs mouth, but excitement in
creased the action of the jaws and
the nervous twitching extended to
the upper part of her face A dose
OF morphine was administered, but
through the night the jaws were
moving rapidly. 1t was not until
dawn that the muscular disturb
ance ceased. The physician said
that it was a case Uf spasmodic
action of the facial m tscles caused
by over-actiOn. Sweet sixteen,

'nlous adult, who talkest thy
Ieighbor to death, take warning

The following items of interest
under this head are culled from the
Washington Republican. The law
under which this work is to be car
ried OIL provides that the secretary
of the Interior, on or before the 1st
day of March, 1880, shall appoint
one or more supervisors of census
for each State, but the whole mum
ber in the Territories shall not ex-
ceed $50. These supervisors shall
appoint the enumeratOrs for the
various counties exceeding 1000 in
population shall be divided into
districts, so that no district con-
tain more than 1900 Inhabitants.
These enumeratOrs shall begin their
duties on the first Monday In June,
thus requiring the work to be done
in less than thirty days. The CON-
pensation will be two cents for each
inhabitant, two cents for each
death reported, ten ceuts for each
farm, and fifteen cents for each es-
tablishment of productive industry.
Application for appointment as
enumerators must be addressed to
the supervisors of the State when
appointed.

No Money for the Matshals.

Washington, July 10. - Judge
Porter, the first comptroller,
through whose hands the accounts
of United States marshals have to
pass for final auditing, said to-day
that there was no truth iu the re.
port that the administration was
seeking through a strained con.
structiOn OF the laws to pay any of
the expenses of marshals. Judge
Porter said that not single ac-
count would be aatlited by him,
simply for the reason that there is
no money for the payment OF any
of the expenses OF marshals. This
statement from Judge Porter set
ties the question until congress
meets again. 1t is expected that
some of the marshals may be EN-.
barrassed, they being poor and
thereby devoid OF credit to secure
the loans required for their heavy
expenses. The expenses of mar
shaps Office range from $500 to
$4,000. There are siyty-five mar
shals in all, averaging an expendi-
ture of $4,000 each. Some of
these men have no property OF any
kind to secure loans, and as their
cannot be held to guar
antee these loans, it is certain that
money can only be obtained at u
very high rate OF interest. Mar
shals will be advised to so ahead
upon their own responsibility,
aud make such arrangements as
they see fit, with the understand
ing that they must look to congress
July for reimbursement.

Health and Quarantine.

Washington, ID. u, July 13.-In
view of the misconceptions which
seem toprevailin many parts of the
Southern States with regard to tho
powers and duties of the national
board OF health, DR.. Billings, vice
president of that organization, has
addressed letter to the sanitary
council OF the Mississippi Valley,
which is substantially as follows:
First-It is the duty of State and
local health authorities, aud not of
the national board of health to take
the initiative in adopting measures
to prevent the spread of contagious
diseases.
The national board OF health has
caused to be printed and circulated
certain recommendations, which
indicate the minimum amount of
precautiOn to be taken. State or
local authorities may in their dis.
cretiOn make more stringent rules
than those suggested, but if they
are too stringent, even to absolute
non-intercOurse, this board has no
power to interfere. 1t is only when
rules are inadequate that it can
take legal action. lH.
Second - Although this board
desires to do everything in its pow
or to aid State aud municipal or.
ganizations, it is not expected to do
or pay for all the work OF preven.
ton, neither can it place money in
the hands of local boards, to be
expended at the latter's discretion.
1t must know for what purpose
money is to be used. The secretary
of the treasury, however, has ap-
proved a special estimate Of this
board for funds to aid the health
authorities of Memphis and the
State of Tennessee, and prevent
the spread OF fever to adjoining
States. But the power OF this
board is very small compared with
that of the local authorities. And,
finally, the letter concludes:
"Don't let quarantine occupy the
attention of your council to the
exclusion of mur icipal cleanliness,
which is the great object to be
secured" ..
DR.. Turner, secretary OF the
national board of health, furnishes
the following summary OF the
boards recommendations to local
Southern organizations:
/. Let State or local boards an.
thoritatively accept the rules and
regulations of the national board of
health. .....
2. Let them notify this board that
such acceptance is made, and have
the notice properly authenticated
and certified.
When these things have been
done if aid is needed the local
board requiring it must specify
the amount wanted, and pre-
sent with such specification
an itemized schedule stating
the objects to which it is to be |
applied, such as pay of inspectors,
policemen, food, medical attend
ance, buildings for quarantine pur-
pose, etc. @ '
Money can be furnished only in
with these conditions.

N. o. Item. ......... ......,
Translated from the Conrrier dc Hcuma. ]
A correspondent in LafOnrche
parish, La, guarantees the truth of
the following details: .7ea .l'
Near the "Cut-off M. Lambasse
and his son both fell a victim to
snake bite, under the following cir
cumstances
Lambasse and his son Bibf were
serpent charmers, who cared as lit
tie for rattlesnakes NJ they would
for turtle doves. They were con-
stantly surrounded by their veno-
nous pets, serpents of the most
deadly species, with which they
played fearlessly:
Last Sunday Bib, who bad a
magnificent rattlesuake, tried to
sell it TO one OF bis friends. For
this purpose he took it out of y
barrel where it was kept, and in
order to show his skill, tired to
make the reptile "kiss him." The
serpent, unwilling to grant the Ca
ress desired, ended by becoming so
enraged that he bit his tlisrmer's
tongue and also his left arm. lm-
mediately afterward, Bibf's father
took the serpent in his hands and
tried to show those present that
his son had acted clumsily, or was
charnfer of a much inferior char
acter to- himself. So saying,he put
the head of the hideOus creature in
his mouth. The serpent bit him
also. Father and son were both
attacked with frightful pains short
ly after, and their bodies became
horribly swollen. They died in ex-
cruciatflfg t6rtures.

Effect of Climate on Wool.
,uthern Live Stock 8ournai.-

Southern live Stock journal.
"Rambonlet" in late number of
the Journal, ventilates somewhat
on the subject Of "the Cockrill Me-
rino Sheep" saying nothing about
what we expected hfin to, from his
starting point. ru.,.#e
Climate has something to- do with
wool, but the old theory that fine
woofed sheep will grow. lfair in II
warmer climate, is all aband0ned,-
or that % sifeep will grow less wool
in a warm country than cold one
is equally untenabie. With plenty
of teed alid suck handling as will
insure individual comfort and thrift
they will grew one. fourth more
wool in a warm than cold climate.
The quality Of the fibre grown in u
warm climate will be softer, and,.
perhaps, more elastic than in Il cold
climate. Flockrnasters in the South
have not been as eHterprseing in in
Producing improved rams into their
aOcks as Northern rien have, and
by degenerating, produced the
theory that climate was the cause
of infersority. The theory of Mr..
A. M. Garland, in the National
Live Stock Journal, "that physical
development was so much more
rapid under high temperature,
and, as consequence, the effect Of
negligent or injudiciOus breeding,
become more apparent. But the
same faw is seized upon, by the
breeder of energy and foresight,
and made to assist in the develOp.
theut OF bis flock towards q higher
standard ris no doubt the real the
ory of the effect OF climate on wool,
as we'll as effect or anin1als; and,
indeed, men, in southern climates.
AS to Mr.. CocktilPs Merinos, I
have never heard anything but
praise since were boy. Nonfan
ever said bad thing of them since
1861, when they took prizes or
their wool at the Worlds fair. This
has been a long time ago. MIR.
CockrilFs name is a synonym of
intelligence and progress, and we
presume these trite praises of hrs
sheep apply equally we'll to- day, as
when written 80 to 40 years ago.
Solid facts are such as are tp to-
time aud date, and stand Ecompari-
son with the best standards Of
American Merino sheep this spring;
not two or three years ago, or as
many decades.
La the North, it takes wide
awake man with mighty good
thing, to lead all competition for

after him with just as much brains
of money, and maybe both, and
will probably catch him. No man
throws up the sponge and quits
because somebody takes the lead
in any production. a'
The men who have said most
about wool degenerating in the
south and about the excellence of
MIR. Cockrill's hocks, have been
men. The men who have
given us most abundant testimony
Of the SOnth's fitness for wool grow

The stalwarts insist that they

how that party grew under Grants
fosterning care. When he came in,
on the fourth of March, 1869, there
were siSty-three republicans to
nine democrats in the senate, aud
the republicans had a majority of
one hundred and sixty four in the
house. Before Grants second term
expired the radical majority in the
senate was reduced to fifteen, and
the democrats held the house by a
majority of Over seventy. That
would Indicate rare genius for

Not long afterward he fell In love with another girl and was anxious to have the money refunded.
