DEEM it my duty to acquaint suf-
fering humanity with the fact that ST.. JACOBS
OIL is the most beneficial remedy ever intro
duced; this have practically tested. For the
past sixteen years | have suffered with Rheu-
matism, and so severely that l was often robbed
of nv nights rest. A change of weather would
have the most painful effect on me, for then L
could move neither hands nor feet. / tried
every known remedy but of no avail at last
somebody recommended ST: JACOBS OIL, and
| concluded to try it, but with little hope for
relief. Having hardly used half bottle, the
pains diminished, and to-day l am well and
| hardy once more. The small sum of fifty cents
had cured me. THOMAS OFT, 81. Boniface, Pa.
IT will be difficult for the public TO
feel a great interest in the Courtney -Hanlan
boat race next month at Washington. These
contests are rapidly degenerating into mere
gambling operations, where honesty is little
regarded, and trickery is the rule of action.
/ The prize ring, once considered manly sport
| and an institution decent people could patron
| ize, became at last only the resort of the vile
| and the worthless, because of the character Of
| its principals and actors. Matches of all kinds
| that develop manly strength, excite lawful
| emulation and National pride are to be en-
couraged, but the moment they become merely
schemes for supporting usless men in idleness
at the expense of the public, encouraging bet
ting, gambling, frauds, drinking, rowdy1sm
and crime, they should be abolished. Any
more dirty business on the part of the Court
| ney- Hanlan people, and they will be brushed
out of public sight hereafter with contempt.

SELDOM has any public gathering in
the United States contained as many distin-
guished civilians and warriors as were in the
procession that attended the ceremony of un-
yelling the Thomas statue, at Washington, d.
c., last Wednesday. The dead hero deserved
all the honors offered or implied by the demon
stration for he was of the rarest mould and every
inch man. Although without single quality
that attracted by its brilliancy his character
embodied every attribute of the true soldier
and good citizen, and in all he was great Full
of strength, knowledge industry, loyalty and
endurance he was equally remarkable for the
modesty and patience which kept the world
from rating him at his true value until the
war had nearly ended. To distinguish among
the heroes upon our glorious roll of honor
would seem invidious were it not that those
still living are the most earnest in saying, what
the country will yet agree upon, that the war
did not discover any great character more SYM
metrical and harmonious than that of George
Fl. Thomas.

The November tempest that fell
upon Lake Ontario last Tuesday tore asunder
and sank a fleet of barges, with loss of life
u
most dangerous part of the Lake-the lower end
| where there are rock bound islands and shoals.
There the storm-c caught mariner finds himself
perplexed. As rule he puts for the open lake
or turns down into the st. Lawrence River.
In this case, however tire barges seem to have
become unmanageable, and the end was soon
reached This is the third disaster in those
waters within a few months. The overturning
of the yatch Josephine in midsummer cost half
score of pleasure seekers their lives; mis-
management of the yatch Northwind resulted
| in the drowning of nine youths in August In
| this latest catastrophe the obvious blunder was
in starting out in the face of gale, to pass
through one of the most dangerous stretches Of
| water in the entire chain of great lakes. Every
lake skipper knows the perils of November
navigation. They were greatly increased when
| tugs undertook to tow barges from one end of
Ontario to the other.

| SOME OF our young men are trying
to arrange for course of lectures in this town
| this winter. Lectures very welcome in
small towns, where public amusements are
scarce, but good lecturers are scarce. We
know of but one lecturer in the United
States at present, who is drawing paying audi
| ences, and that is an Englishman named
Proctor, who is lecturing on astronomy. Mr..
| Proctors lectures, which bring together so
handsome an attendance, may be criticised by
/ closely scientific astronomers as dealing rather
with the imaginative wonders than the cold
| facts of astronomy. But the Englishman has
a rare and beautiful art of awakening and stim-
ulating popular interest in a science which, in
its details, employs the driest and most difficult
mathematics. He knows Just how far and
| when to give results without explaining the
processes by which they are reached, and his
| object is not to teach astronomy, but to give
| the people a conception of the magnitude of
the universe. He may tell them nothing very
new, but he gives them what enlarges and ex-
tends their ideas, and furnishes them with
material for profitable and elevating thought
He is q lecturer worth having.
CONGRESS passed law in July,
1870. authorizing the registration of trade
marks in the Patent Office and giving legal and
equitable remedies for their protection for a
term of thirty years, with right to renewal
for like period. More than five thousand
have since been registered and several hundred
petitions for the privilege are pending. The
; centennial year was particularly prolific of
them. Now the Supreme Court sponges out
this whole body of legislation and all the
fanced rights founded in it. In three cases in
which opinions were read last week by Justice
Miller at Washington the judges declare that
they find no authority in the Constitution for
Federal legislation on the subject, unless it
may be in pursuance of the duty of Congress to
pass laws necessary to give full effect to treaties
This point was not involved i'm either of the
cases and is left untouched by the Court. We
have treaties on the subject with most of the
principal Governments in Europe, some OF
} them framed upon the principle of reciprocity
with Great Britain and Canada we have ar.
| ranoements founded in reciDrocal LEGISLATION
