TRUTH is MIGHTY.

As tho little leaven hid in the measure of meal
made all leaven, SO truth gradually overcomes al
doubt and disbelief When Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo
would positively cure the many diseases and weak
nesses peculiar to women, some doubted and con-
tnued to employ the harsh and caustlc local treat
ment. But the mighty truth, gradually became
acknowledged. Thousands of ladies who had
useessly undergone untold torures at the hands OF
different physicians, employed the Favorite Pres.
Clans now prescribe 1t in their practice. So san.
guine Is DR.. Pierce Of its power to cure, that he
now sells 1t through druggists under a positive
guarantee. F25w1.

FRANKLIN COUNTY.


Derby will celebrate the Fourth.
On Monday as five men were bcigng let down in
crib into the pit of the Melbourne Slate Quarry
near Derby line, the rope broke letting them fall
distance of l40 feet. They were all more or less
injured and are all in a critical condition.
While George White and Riley Smith were at
work on the road in Bloomington, the other day.
they got into quarrel and Smith struck White
with the edge of shovel, with such force as to
cut the ear in two, cleave the flesh from the skull
and leave White in very dangerous cond tion.
Smith fed and has not yet been arrested.

Royal Proposing.

Nicholas, the Emperor Of Russia, WOE his
bride in a singular way yet it had spice
of gallantry in it. During visit to the
King of Prussia, one day, while at dinner,
the Emperor rolled up q ring in piece OF
bread, and handing it to the Princess Royal,
said to her, in q subdued voice. "lf you will
accept my hand, put this ring on your fin
GER" This is the imperial way of popping
the question" She took no time to deliber-
ate, but suffered her heart to speak the truth
at once; and their happy nuptials We're
soon contaminated. The royal way is illus
trated by the instance of Queen Victoria S
proposal to the man of her choice-and a
right worthy ore it was-Prince Albert
"The prince had been out hunting early
with his brother that day, but returned al
twelve, and half an hour afterward obeyed
tre Queens summons to her room, where
he found her alone. After few minutes
conversation on other subjects, the Queen
told him why she had sent for him; and we
can well understand any little hesitation
and delicacy she may have felt in doing 50,
for the Queens position, making it impera-
tive that any proposal Of marriage should
come first from her, must necessarily appear
a painful one to those who, deriving their
ideas on this subject from the practice of
private life, are wont to look upon it as the
privilege and happiness of woman to have
her hand sought in marriage, instead of
having to offer it herself"

The Better Way.

American ladies have still some lessons to
learn from their Partisan sisters in regard to
dress. The great mistake made by many
of our ladies is that of spending large sum
of money on one or two very handsome
toilets, intended for dressy occasions, and
by this means not only rendering these
dresses so expensive that they are rarely
worn, and then in fear and trembling"
thus becoming old-fashioned before half
worn out, but at the same time SO curtailing
the sum set aside for toilet purposes that all
the other articles of dress have to suffer.
This is mistake never made by the true
Partisan she, on the contrary, pays par
ticular attention to the dresses of every day
wear, and seen byevery one, and thus, while
spending far less, appears always well
dressed, to the utter eclipse of those who do
not happen to have on their best dresses. "
This is exemplifed even in 50 small an article
as fan. The foreigner or provincial will
have one very handsome fan for grand occa-
sions the Partisan will buy several for less
money, and, of course, not so handsome, but
of different colors assorted to her toilet, and
giving her far more elegantly finished ap-
pearance than the lady who is forced to use
the same fan, whatever color Or style her
dress may be.

Power Of Memory.

A little negro girl living in distant city
has truly wonderful memory. 1t is said
that a gentleman who had read aloud in her
presence accidentally heard her repeat word
for word what he had read from the paper,
though twenty-four hours had interyened.
After this he tested her memory frequently
and has found it capable of repeating thirty
or forty lines from book after hearing it
read over once. Her intellect in other re-
spects does not seem at all above, if equal to,
the average. Such instances Of memory are
not very unusual. Mary Somerville tells Of
an idiot in Edinburg who never failed to re-
peat the sermon, word for word, after at
tending the kirk each Sunday, saying :;
"Here the minister coughed;" Here he
drank some water" &c. She also tells of
another whom she met in the Highlands,
who knew the Bible 50 perfectly that if he
was asked where such verse was to be
found, he told without hesitation, and re-
peated the chapter. We remember, also, to
have read year or two ago an account of a
man in New York who could read one side
of the =" New York Herald" and then re-
peat it, word for word, advertisements and

Carried Her Point.

San Francisco has witnessed a scene which
has created much fun, but more profanity in
every post-office in the United States. "a
female argonaut of fearful Vitality" we
read in, the San Francisco Bulletin, " tall
and extremely ugly female, called at the
post-offce, rendered nnety-nine coppers to
the urbane clerk, and asked in lieu thereof
three cent stamps. The official remarked
that he could only receive four coppers as
legal tender, and at the expense of deal o.
precious time endeavor1d to convince the ft-
male that he was guided by certain rules
and had no latitude in the matter. Sh,
waxed wroth, and remarked that when, il
the course of human events, United State
coin was to be refused by United State,
official, she thought her forelathers had died
in vain, and she considered it her duty to
bring the government to account. Then
she paced the corridor of the post-offce until
she had made thirty-three seperate tenders Of
the coppers and obtained thirty-three three
cent stamps. During her transactions With
the clerk she gave him much unsolicited ad-
vice, and otherwise contributed to the en-
joyment of little knot of spectators. The
clerk acted the gentleman throughout"

Traits of the Shark.

When all the blubber and fat has been re-
moved from the carcass of the whale by the
Trinidad fishermen, it is usually towed out,
and allowed to drift with the current as a
bait for sharks, while large canoes, filed
somewhat in the style of whale boats, follow
it, to harpoon any of these fish that may
come within range. Shaking is rather good
sport in ITSELF and is at the same time very
remunerative, on account Of the quantity Of
oil that may be obtained from the liver. The
shark is killed much in the same way as the
whale. being first harpooned, and then lanced
till it is exhausted, after which its liver is
cut out and placed in the boat. The liver is
four or five feet long, and large one will
give as much as fifteen or sixteen gallons
of oil. Though sharks in these parts are
numerous, accidents while bathing, or even
when boats are swamped at sea, are rare
and they will not touch human being even
when in the water alongside whale that
is being cut up. Several instances are well
authenticated where persons have thus fallen

GOLDEN FAMILY JARS.

The late Commodore Vanderbilt not
only left colossal fortune behind him
when he sailed off into unknown seas, but
also a large crop of lawsuits, which his
descendants show great zeal in cultivat-
ing. The contested will case has been
before the public for many months, and
will probably stand as one of the cele-
brated cases of modern times. On the
Sd inst new proceedings were instituted.
This time they come in the shape of an
application on behalf of Cornelius ].
Vanderbilt for an injunction restraining
William H. and his associate executors
under his fathers will from any longer
acting as such executors The petitioner
complains that the circumstances of the
executors are so precarious as not to af
ford security for their due administra
ton of the estate. The grounds on which
these charges are based are substantially
as follows, viz: that the trust property
left by the Commodore amounted tc
considerable over $l00,000,000, al
but $5,000,000 of which consisted O.
personal property-bonds, stocks anc
other negotiable securities-that VIM. H
has no property that he has not acquired
from the Commodore, and that that i
not sufficient by many millions to NEE

SHERIFF WALLACE has the sincere
sympathy of all his old friends and ac-
auaintances-thos who knew him and
enjoyed his friendship and confidence in
the days of his prosperity before the
blighting hand of politics was laid upon
him. He was good business man and
genial companion, and a friend as warm
in his acts as in his professions. When
he entered politics he took wrong
start and has been wrong almost ever
since. He allowed himself to be per-
suaded by those who surrounded him
that in the career of politician custom
makes law and right, and that the rules
of honesty and straightforwardness, which
are SO essential to business success, were
not applicable to politics. Taking this
view of his new. career, and acting upon
it in almost all his intercourse with old
friends, he has landed just where such a
course always leads. His defalcation is
placed at $4,000.

FROM our Rome dispatches this morn
irg it appears probable that the resigna-
ton of Archbishop Purcell will be
accepted by the Pope. In view of the
fact that strong petition had been for
warded to the Holy Father, sanctioned
by the Archbishop that the resignation
should be declined, this report will take
the Catholics of this Diocese by surprise.
1t is probable, however, that the action
mentioned was taken before the Cincin-
matt petition was received, and that it
will be revoked.

ring in his new enterprises; that the
other executors are of no account what
ever, but are under the control of VIM.
H.; that he is specializing in stocks on
gigantic scale; that he has already lost
on such speculations several millions of
dollars; that he is of excitable and reck-
less temperament; that he is expending
large and unnecessary sums of money
from the estate in procuring and intimi-
dating witnesses in order to sustain his
fathers will, and has declared that in
order to do so he would spend the whole
estate in litigation. These generalheads
are supplemented by specifications and
details. The general allegation is made
that VIM. ii. has already involved the
estate in losses, which together with
expenses, gifts to some of the heirs, to
restrain them from contesting the will,
&C., amount to almost one-half of the
personal estate of the decedent. This
case, with the other, will probably expose
to public view good deal of the dirty
linen of Vanderbilt's family.

And covered the egEs with her wings and her
