Gen. Slocum, in a lecture on the re-

leniency of President Lincoln toward de-

had consultation, and determined to stop

Saving Lives.

Some dogs, in their love and affection
for their masters, have at times equalled
human beings in their constancy, aud
even surpassed them in the marvellous in
tclligence with which they foresee and
avert approaching danger. The follow
ing example, related to us by one of the
ladies Of the story, may prove interesting
Two girls, daughters of an English
country doctor, were once out for walk
together. It was an autumn afternoon,
sunny and pleasant. They were accom-
led by their little dog, named Jack, who
was clever little terrier, and more than
once had proved his claim to be consid-
cred as indeed he was-their protector
while out walking. Their father often
said he felt "quite happy when Jack was
with them; he was sure no harm would
come to them.'
The two girls pursued their walk mer-
rily. The fine afternoon tempted them
to go further than they ought, however,
and by the time they
turned the dusk had fallen, and they.
were afraid they would be late for tea
One of them proposed to take short cut
through a wood dswith which they were
well acquainted, having often gathered
blackberries in it on sunny afternoon.
The. other agreed, and SO they arrived at
the edge Of the wood and prepared to
enter it. e. i
Gall the same; am rather afraid, .
said Dora, the younger of the two. ssThere
have been several robberies in the neigh
borhood, and saw some very odd-look-
ing men pass our door to-day. Besides, I
am wearing my new watch, which papa
gave me on my birthday.

4 lady OF experience gives advice on

''Be frugal in your bestowal of such IA
vors. In the first place, would cut off
all uncles, cousins and brothers-in-law; !;
let them kiss their own wives and daugh-
tiers, and would not kiss the minister.

derstands her business and does not leave

RECENT statistics shows that the ranks
of professional pedestrians are being rap
idly filled up by country book peddlers,
to whom walking has become second ma
ture. One of the successful walkers in
New York is a woman who says she sold
4 900 copies of a 81 book in a month. If
this thins out the book peddlers it will
be glorious news for our rural friends,
but appalling intelligence for all those
who live in large cities.

THE BLOODY WEST.

AS 4 specimen of extra fancy re-
volvcr shooting, the like of which
never occurs in the "blood stained
South" but which is almost daily
occurrence north Of Mason's and
Dixon's line, we give our readers
the following extract from the Chi
cago Times:
COLUMBUS, IND, July 30-A fearful
tragedy occurred this morning about
ten miles from this place, in which two
brothers lost their lives. A farmer
named Luke Covert had two SONS
Alexander and George. The latte,
was married, but he and his wife had
separated, and she had fled petition
for divorce. Her husband and Alex
ander Covert were living at their ia
TIERS. A few days ago Georges wife
and he had meeting and talked over
their differences until they came to the
conclusion to live together again
They came to this city yesterday, and
the wife withdrew her petition for di-
vorce and the two agreed to live to-
gether again. She went to her home
to make preparations for rejoining her
husband, and he returned to his faith
er's house. This morning at the break
fast table George and his brother,
Alexander, who were seated on oppo-
site sides Of the table, we're talking of
the compromise, and of Georges talk
ing his wife back. The rest of the
family were present. In the course of
the talk Alexander, who was opposed
to the compromise, denounced Georges
wife Us prostitute. This fired George
up to high pitch of anger. Hot
words followed, until, forgetting the
presence of father, mother, sisters and
brothers, these two men drew revolv-
ers, and, pointing at each other, fired
across the table nstantaueously, be-
fore any one conld interfere. Both
shots took effect. George was shot
through the head and was instantly
killed. Alexander was shot through
the chest, and lived until late this eve-
ming. The sad affair has caused great
excitement,

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bafiled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
nom their use in any quantity.
