SENATOR GARLAND when he revised his
speech didn't feel so sure about JEFF Davis
and that pension. In debate he said: 'sMr.
Davis would scorn the pension. He does not
ask it and he would not receive it," 'In the

would scorn pension if offered grudgiDgly;
he does not ask it, and he would not receive

Most druggists are conscientious in their dealings
but there are few who are not. A number of cases
have been reported to recently where druggists for
the sake of gaining small additional profit, have
sought to impose upon their customers by offering
them cheap and worthless limitations of BENsoN's
CAPCINE POROUS PLASTER in place ofthe genuine. or
when Bensons Capcine Porous Plaster was asked for
falsely claiming that the common article possessed
equal merit. We therefore cauIion all buyers of
Benson's Capcne Plaster to see that the word CAP
CINE is correctly spelled-tb each plaster has the
word C-A- PC-l-N-E cut through it. By this simple
precaution imposition may be avoided.

On account of difficulty in the piers of the
new railroad bridge at Lewiston, the freight
trains for the past few days have passed
through Augusta The difficulty with the
stone pie rs under the Maine Central new iron
bridge arises from the fact that when the
piers were built, instead of being made solid of
cut stone the inside was filled with loose stone
aud the top covered with cut stone. The iron
posts of the bridge were placed over this filled
portion of the etone work which not being
sufficiently f.m to resist the enormous pres
sure, settled about three inches, causing Ike
depression in the track above.

AS citizen of our thriving little village

small space i'm your next weeks issue to
defend the good citizens of this place,
together with the good citizens of the
county, against the unwarranted attack
Of "C. b. +. A II. Z. c." who has taken
the privilege to his or herself to insinu-
ate heavily upon the character and
moral conduct Of the leading citizens of
Caneyville, the druggists of same and
the grand jury of the county. would
not, under any consideration, have paid
any attention to said ISLANDERS was it
not for the wide circulation your paper
has In the Green river country; and
fearing that 1t might fall into hands
that are unacquainted with Caneyville
and its citizens. First, We have three
drug stores, and l am satisfied that our
druggists conduct their business rs well
under local option law as any other point
that 1 am acquainted with. Now 1t is
false that We have u druggist that can
neither read nor write; and il it was so,
1t would be discredit to many who
claim scholastic qualifications In our
midst, as he IL doing much better than
they. AS for being backed by the Lead
ing citizens of the place their designs
must be very impure, or else our drug
gists keep themselves i'm the bounds of
duty. would say that the leading citi-
zens of Caneyville and vicinity will
compare with citizens of any other
place for moral integrity, honesty and
truthfulness with any other village of
the same size in Kentucky.

LOUIsvILLE, KY, Dec. Is, 1879.
Editor Heruid:
The city is i'm fiourishing condition,
lively spring trade, and the general inn
preston is that ave may be happy yet. -
Times surely are not so very tight only
in imagination, at least the Christmas
shoppers are very active, and many dol
lars are passing daily over the counters
of the jeweler and fancy goods man.
However, We have those among us who
! would be glad to have a nickel To buy u
loaf of bread. To all such the weather
has SO far been mercifully kind. "GOd
help the poor" say the rich, and they
doubtless mean that he shall do it, unles
their actions belle their words. "God
help the poor" What mOckery Did
you ever think OF it? The creature
asking the Creator to do that for which
he (the creature) was created. The
Lord has no corn pens, wheat bins, nor
family groceries from which to draw
food for the suffering poor. He does not
own coal mine ON the =. & L. II. R.,
neither in Pennsylvania, and yet We
piOusly clasp our hands, and with eyes
lifted heavenward, exclaim, "GOd help
the poor" Can't you.plainly,see that il
is trying to impose upon the Deity a
duty that is incumbent upon ourselves?
So hear my prayer: God be merciful to
the rich, the poor can beg. Let every
minister in the Land preach from the
text, "As God hath prospered thee"
That reminds me of another kind of
charity. Oftentimes you see people so
envious that it is a matter of impossi-
bility for them to let others enjoy hard
won fruits in peace. A young man
comes to the city, gets n position, and
those who should rejoice at his good for
tune are found trying to injure him with
his employers and drive him from hon.
est labor. Such q case happened re-
Gently, but happily fell still-born. That
is what makes me say what do, ''that
all Is vanity"
