We believe the Era was the very first
paper in the State to suggest the pro-
priety of paying the widow of the late
Judge Elliott the sum that would have
been earned by her husband, but for the
shotgun of the assassin. Now other
papers suggest $4,000 monument.
We are dead against any monument.

THE poem ON the first page of this
issue Is well worth reading. The au-
thor was under sentence of death for
the murder of young lady at the time
he wrote the poem, and has since been
hung. He was certainly insane at the
time and for some time before he CON-
mitted the deed for which he was hung.
He had become enamored Of his cousin,
and both being members Of the Catholic
Church they were thus doomed to love
in vain. He lost his balance of mind
in consequence, and after brooding over
the matter, ended the trouble by shoot
ing the young lady dead. The poem i
n most melancholy AS well a. thought

that so many of the worlds richest
poetic thoughts and most beautiful inn
.agery have been given from behind
prison bars. Read the poem with care
and you will read ii again.

al ARTFoRD has hut one church"
80 many of our exchanges say. IL Is a
slight mistake; though we have three,
taking into account a good building the
colored baptists have, and fair house
owned we believe by the colored Meth
odists. BY our way of thinking, our
neighboring towns of Greenville, Itch
| field and all towns of that grade would
be far better of with one good church,
than with more. We have a Baptist,
Methodist and Cumberland Presbyte-
rian congregation in Hartford, and
these occupy the same house; the pas
tors alternating. The one house Is SUI
ficient to accommodate all the church
going part Of the community, and the
sunday school is non denominational, IA
il should he, and all classes get on har-
moniously, as they should. So far a
We are able to observe, n good state OF
friendship exists between the sects.
This is not usual where there are more
churches than one. There is consider
able expense attached to building and
maintaining church edificcs and where
all occupy the same house the expense
is much more likely to be met credita-
bly, than where there are more houses
to he cared for. Hartford has one neat
little church and we are all proud Of it.

al LOST my paper last week, can't
you give me another?' We tried to
count the number Of people last week,
who came into our Office with the above
statement, made in such a matter of
course way, that We cannot refuse tn
->a.a,al., a.- l.-ss, have an axtra
copy. OF course our friends do not
think what they are doing when they
lose their own paper, and then ask for
another. Now suppose a man buys a
spool Of thread and loses it on his way
home would he go back 10 the mer-
chant and ask for another spool in the
place of the one lost: OF course not,
everybody knows that such losses are
at the expense of the loser, Now every
copy of the HERALD costs us more
money than a spool of thread costs the
merchant. While the cost of one copy
is a small affair, increase that by. say
100, and see what the result
will he. A hint 10 the wise Is sufficient.
BE more careful with your papers, and
if you happen TO lose one Remember
that one paper costs hut five cents and
100 costs S.. While on this subject, let
IN say one thing more. We are always
glad to accommodate our friends 10y Civ

let us see what that costs. Ii is quite
common for men to come into the of

made up. They see stack of papers
lying around, and of course, inasmucl
as 1t will incur little extra trouble
perhaps to send to their office for the
mail, they expect an extra copy. Thu
they get two papers, when they have
paid for but one. We have an aver
age of about twenty such extra paper
per week, or about 81 per week; reach

A PROHIBITION SERMON

Many years ago Colonel Lenmanousky
who had been twenty.three years in the
army of Napoleon Bonaparte, arose in
a prohibition meeting, tall, vigorous, and
with the glow Of health on his face, and
made the following excellent speech:
"You see before you a man of 20 win.
ters, l have fought two hundred bat.
ties; have fourteen wounds on my body
have lived thirty days on horse.fesh
with the bark Of tree for my bread, snow
and ice for my drink, the canopy oi
heaven for my covering, without stock
ings or shoes on my feet, and only few
old rags on for clothing. In the desert
Of Egypt have marched for days with
burning son on my naked head, feet
blistered in the scorching sand, and with
eyes, nostrils and mouth filed with dust
and with thirst 50 tormenting that
have opened the veins on my arms and
sucked my own blood. Do you aJk me
how survived all these horrors2 / an.
swer that under the providence Of God
I owe my preservation, my health, my
vigor, to this fact, that / never drank a
drop Of spirituous liquors in my life
and Baron Larrey, chief surgeon Of the
French army, has stated as fact, that
the 5000 survivors who safely returned
from Egypt, were all of them men who
sbstained from ardent drink"

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

soLID GOLD WATCH that aside from the necessary
thickness for engraving and polishing large pro-
portion Of the precious metal used is needed only to
stlen and hold the engraved portions in place, and
supply the necessary solldity and strength The sur
plus gold is actually needless far as UTILITY and
beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS PATENT
GOLD WATCH CASES this WASTE of precious
metal is overcome, and the SAME soLIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from One.thlrd TO onehalf OF
the usual cost of solid cases. This process is OF the
most simple nature, as follows plate of nickle
composition metal specially adapted to the purpose,
has two plates Of SOLID eOLD soldered one on each
side. The three are then passed between polished
steel rollers and the result is asrp ofheavly plated
composition from which the cases, backs, centres
bezels, &C., are cut and shaped by suitable dies and
formers. The gold In these cases Is sufficiently thick
to admit of all kinds of chasing engraving and en-
ameling. the engraved cases have been carried I'M

THE TAM o'sHANTER INN.

Ay, the very house in which Tam and
Souter Johnny prolonged their market
night meetings, the foaming ale growing
better with each successive draught,
souter telling his qneerest stories, Tam
and the landlady growing gracious-a
house not less famous than the old Boar's
Head in Eastcheap, or the Bell at Ed
monitor, named in these latter days after
that drouthiest of "drouthy neebors" the
incorrigible Tam who elbows Rip Van
Wrinkle. Bailie Nichol, Jarvie and Conn
in our vagabond affiliations. 1t is plain,
plastered, thatched little tavern, tinted
yellow, in contrast to the surrounding
houses, which are white. Over the door
is a sign board with a Creditable painting
of Tam leaving the house,
"weel mounted on bis gray mare Meg"
and the souter grasping his hand with
maudlin affection before he plunges
through the storm towards AlloWay.
The landlord holds the history Of tavern
precious, and on another sign board he
specifies its associations, with the addi-
tional announcement that 20 chair and
caup are in the house" The "caup" is
the identical one drained by Tam, the
chair the one he sat in, and it would be
a teetotaler of less than usual hexibility
who could pass without ordering some
mild beverage as an excuse for viewing
the interior.
The landlords name is A. Glass, and
he is not only most devoted admirer OF
Burns, but also poet in a very small
way himself He was absent at the time
of our visit, and we were met at the door
by the landlady, who showed us up q
dark flight of stairs into the little snug
gerry where in olden times the more
favored customers were entertained.

feet long and twelve feet wide, with

in which the cronies Of the poem met

should choose an evening for his visit
and, behold In the blue cloud Of smoke
Tam appears toasting the Souter for the

swear reciprocal allegiance with greater
fervor, nor jest or song elicit reader ap.

the inn on the stormy market night.

sAGACITY OF ANIMALS OVER
RATED.

It is next to impossible to shake the
public faith in the value of the observa'
ton of the lower creation, We know
that our barn-door fowls will with inlin-
ite composure retire to rest at 10 o'clock
in the morning in case of an eclipse, yet
that knowledge does not prevent the
public from assuming the possessing by
birds of mysterious sources of informa-
ton on the subject of weather which
are sealed to US. Dogs are supposed to
have some intuition which warns them
of approaching danger and death, and
many heart has been tortured by ,ac-
cepting as forewarning of dissolution a
dogs complaint against the moon for too
unreasonable brightness. The fact is,
that animals in general are far less wise
than We think them, even in matters
that come directly under their ken. OBJ
servations of phenomena on the part of
a man who, by noticing the influence of
changing conditions upon various OBJ
jeCts, animate and inanimate, becomes
weatherwise, are far more trustworthy
than that kind of feeling, which, like
pain in an old wound, warns birds or
animals of approaching wet. Although
curious it is, indeed, to see how far ami
are from possessing the kind of knowl'
edge we are most ready to assign them,
that of things they may eat with impu.
nifty. Quite recently Lord Lovelace un-
derwent serious loss in consequence of
a herd of COWS eating some ewe.Clippings
indiscreetly placed within their reach.
Cattle continually mistake the kind of
food that will suit them, especially when
they are strange to the district wherein
it grows. After time they will find it's
noxious qualities, and are, it appears,
able to transmit that knowledge to their
descendants.

Spain is verging on financial bank
ruptcy. The public debt is over $2,555,.
100000, and there is no prospect that it
will ever be paid, and even the interest
has not been paid on many of the bonds
for years. The present revenue of the
kingdom is but $l55, 900 900, and the ex-
penditures exceed that by fully three
millions. King Alfonso will have to get
handsome dowry with his second wife
to justify any extravagant display over
the royal nuptials.

Symptoms of a DiseasedLiv

ptAIN in the right side, under the
/ edge Of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top OF the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss of men,
ory, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation of having left undone some.
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly Sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer.
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
