"CouIdn't See tt"

A few days since a gentleman stepped
into CRITTENToN's No. Z Sixth avenue,
New York, and stated that he had used
HALE's HONEY OF HoREHoUND AND TAR
in his family for the last four months, to
the entire satisfaction of them all, for the
cure of Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarse-
ness, Difficult Breathing. or any Affections
of the Throat, Bronchial Tubes and Lungs
leading to Consumption; but, moving to
the east side OF town, he went TO the near
est druggist for a bottle of this article,
when the druggist attempted TO palm off
some article of his own manufacture in
place of it; aud using here the gentle
mans language, he told the druggist he
Couldn't see it, or, in other words, he
was satisfied with 'HALE's HONEY OF
HoREHoUND AND TAR" and wanted
nothing else as he had already used this,
and knew by experience that this article
would give almost Immediate relief. and in
short time would effect permenent cure
of any or all of the foregoing complaints.

toned druggist, and trust should be read

The decision Of the U. Supreme Court
on Monday last will be severely felt by Q
number OF persons. AS the law Of Con
gress stood, it provided for the registra
ton OF trade marks, and guarantees pro.
lection against imitation. In other words
manufacturer can geta patent for trade
mark, the same as an inventor can for q
machine. There are now 5000 trade
marks registered and 1000 applications
pending. Besides these their are numer-
GUS suits pending in United States courts
nstpartles infringing upon registered OF
patented trade marks. Among these suits
is the one just decided. The Supreme
Court holds in this case that the trade
mark law is unconstitutional. This vir-
tuallY makes it without the province OIL
the federal law to protect manufacturer
in the use Of any mark he may place upon
his goods. The decision will be received
with bad grace from those who use regis.
tered trade marks. The only thing for
them to do will be to return to simple la.
bells, and crowd out limitations by the
merit OF the original goods. The class
most directly affected by the decision will
be patent medicine men, whose wares
have been sold less often on their own
merit than on the peculiarly Of their
trade marks.

the support Of Southern notification by
Northern Democrats cause for alarm, and
have expressed themselves at the polls.

Democrats in Congress would insist upon
fair elections in the South, a great and
desirable change would be quickly
brought about. For instance" said
the President, "let them insist that the

Mississippi BIO elected by full and free
ballot But the Northern Democrats
seem only too willing to profit by Dem

act in accordance with this suggestion the
immediate result would DO to give several
Southern States to the Republicans, but In
little time, confidence having been won
by good deeds, the people would trust
them with full power. Their willingness

An Ex-SteubenViIIe Preacher becoming
IeretIcaI.
The Rev. s. ]. Stuart used to be U. P.
preacher up at steubenville. He will be
remembered by many Of our readers as the
gentleman who made a speech at Wash.
ington Hall, in this city, in the days OF
the temperance Juror, to prove that the
wine made at Cana Of Gallileo for the mar.
rage feast was nothing but unfermented
grape Juice. His argument was very ride.
ulous, and did not give the people very
high idea Of either his candor or his com.
mon sense.
Some time ago he resigned his pastorate
at Steubenvile, and accepted call from a
Congregational church at Fitchburg,
Mass, where he has been expounding
theology alter the manner Of that sect. 1t
seems, however, that he has found out
that he is not in accord with the views Of
that denomination, and hence has tender
ed his resignation, to take effect December
9TH. He writes long letter in which, al.
ter giving his views OF Congregational.
Ism, he goes on to define his present belief,
which can probably best be given in the
following paragraph from his letter:
''There is such virtue as prudence,
There are questions, too, that are OF no
practical Importance IN the formation OF
moral character. Uniting prudence and a
desire to do practical good together, I
have not seen Ut to say much on certain
religious spcculations. You have known
from the beginning that had no belief in
the tri-personality in Deity. Neither do
half the orthodox pastors in New England
in any buta poetical sense. But have not
thought itworth while to discuss that ques.
ton, because 1t Is Of no moral Importance.
To say that Deity Is one, or three, or TO
use another mathematical expression, Is |
not TO say much, and has no effect upon
read christian belief or moral character.
The essence Of Deity is q mystery. But
when ever there has been any question |
pertaining to the moral nature Of God, OF
which We can know something, have
not been silent, and therefore have de.
clared to be immoral the theory that God |
