THE GREAT PAIN RELIEVING and
curative remedies have already worked their
way into every hamlet where the English Ian
guage is spoken. That the reputation of and
demand for such remedies as these are,
should extend and increase, could not be other
wise. THERE IS NO PAIN, soreness or
swelling which they will not alleviate. There
are but exceptional cases of constitutional
humors and distorted joints, which they do not
cure, and none they will not benefit. They
are SOOTHING, absorbing and emollient.
They EXTRACT THE PAIN from and heal
burns and scalds without scars. For RHEU-
MATIC AFFECTIONS, pains in the back,
stiff Joints, wounds, strains and eruptions they
act with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. These
preparations are of two kinds, the FAMILY
and the ANIMAL Liniments. Being univer-
sally adapted to the external ailments OF man
and beast the name of the HALF-HORSE
and HALF-MAN Centaurs was naturally at
tached to them They perform cures never be
fore effected by any remedy. Undoubtedly
more of them are sold than OF all other Hnl-
ments, ointments, oils, embrocations, plasters
and so-called pain-killers combined.
The WHITE Centaur Liniment cures Rheu-
matism, Sciatica, Lumbago and Tic doul-
ourux.
ITRELIEVES Neuralgia and all kinds OF
pain.
IT HEALS wounds, sores, gals and pois-
onous bites.
|, IT CURES Itch, Pimples and Salt Rheum
IT SUBDUES inflammation and pain.
IT CURES broken breasts and sore nipples.
BOILS, FELONS, ETC, are rendered near
ly painless,
CONTRACTED CORDS and stiff joints are
limbered.

NEW 1Ohh. Jan. ~, IOCO'
John Bright's recent speech setting forth
the power and greatness of the United States,
elected much adverse comment from his own
countrymen. That was to be expected. The
subject is one about which Englishmen are
exceedingly sensitive, particularly now when
the contrast is so striking between the prosper
ity which prevails here and the adversity
which seems to be epidemic among all the ma
tionalities of Europe. But it seems that his
description is not to be permitted to escape
criticism even on this side of the water any
more than the other. Here, for example is a
paragraph from that widely circulated journal
Harpers Weekly.
"It is rosy picture the great orator paints
But it is we'll to see how we appear to friendly
foreigners who mould the opinion OF their
countries The ideal which they describe, the
America at a distance, becomes itself an In
spiration to make it the virtual America close
at hand. 1t would be most patriotic Begin
ming of the year to read John Bright's speech
| and resolve that the country should deserve all
| the good things he says of it"
| The meaning of the passage here quoted is
| perfectly obvious. The writer intends to con-
vey the idea that Mr.. Bright's speech is a
fancy sketch instead of leaf from history,
| that the American hepuDnc Is not SO nlgnly
favored land as he represents, that he has
exaggerated its merits and concealed its faults,
and that we are very far from being the thrifty,
well conditioned and wisely governed people
that he imagines us to be- He takes the illus
trious Briton to task in an amiable and pat
ronizing way for having given such brilliant
coloring to his picture az to render it illusory
| He saws. in effect to the orator. "Your iuten
tions probably are good you ay even be sin

JUDGE PINCKNEY, of the Criminal Court
of Baltimore, delivered very strong and
sensible charge to grand Jury few days
ago. In the course of his remarks he said {:
'It is not infrequent that a trial miscarries
because of some flaw in the Indictment, or
variance, as it is called, in the evidence which
can not be cured by an amendment. For this
state of the law an excuse existed formerly in
England, when there were more than 200 cap
ital offenses, in the natural desire of judges
and lawyers that as many persons as pos
sible, whether innocent or guilty, should
escape the outrageous cruelty of a
verdict of guilty, which might consign
to the gallows perhaps mother
who had stolen pennys worth OF
bread to satisfy the hunger of starving
child. But all this is now changed, and,
instead of the fear of the innocent being
convicted, the scandal of the law is that so
many of the guilty escape punishment. The
States Attorney, then, should be allowed by
law to amend his Indictment at the trial
Except, perhaps, in capital offenses), accord
ing to the proof in the cause, whenever al
amendment would not prejudice the defend
ant in his defense On the merits. In thai
case the Court might have power to dis
charge the jury without a verdict and t(
postpone the case.

THE Liberty, Indiana, Herald, puts Sena-
tor Blaines name at the head of its columns
as Presidential candidate, and says. editorial
", "The name of James G. Blaine would
inspire the greatest enthusiasm, the hearth
est unanimity and the most earnest, active
work upon the part of the Republican par
ty. Fully believing this, and under all cir
stances and for every reason, we are for
Blaine; and though it may amount to no
more than the SETTLING of a fly upon the
horn of an OK, we propose to express our
preference, and to express it aloud. We be-
lieve that if every Republican in the Nation
could to-day be heard from, four-fifths
would be found shouting for Blaine. Open
expression of sentiment on this subject is
what is wanted. Could the people have
been heard in 1876, Blaine would then have
received the nomination. 1t won't do to
again stife the popular will, and Republi
cans want no log-rolling or trickery in the
pending Chicago Convention. There is a
hearty unanimity amongst Republicans to
support the nominee, whoever that may be,
but let the most popular man, the ablest
statesman, the greatest champion and BRAY
est defender of Republican principles, be
nominated. That means James G. Blaine,
of Maine"

The Punishment.

Perhaps our readers would like to know
what punishment the law provides for brl6ers
such as have been exposed by the investlga-
ton at Augusta. Revised Statutes, chap IL,
sec. 6, declares
BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION IN OFFICERS OF THE
LAW AND OTHERS.
Sec. 6. Whoever gives offers or promises to an
executive, legislative judicial officer, before or
after he is qualified takes his seat any valuable
consideration gratuity whatever or to do any act
beneficial to such officer, with intent to influence ms
action vote, opinion or judgment, in any matter
pending or that may legally before him in his
official capacity, shall be punished by imprisonment
not more than five years. or by fine not exceeding
three thousand dollars.-Argus.
Perhaps the Argus's readers, or t'oo Of
them at least, would like to peruse the re-
mainder of sec. 6, chap. 122, R. S., which
the Argus did not have room to print.
Here it is:
"And whoever accepts such bribe or beneh-
cial thing, in the manner and for the purpose
aforesaid, shall forfeit his office, be forever dis
qualified to hold any public office, trust or
appointment under this State, and be punished
by Imprisonment not more than ten years, or
BY fine not exceeding five thousand dollars
AS far as we have read the statute it does
not provide any escape from or mitigation
of the punishment, if the culprit shall come
up afterwards and say he was ''fooling'
when he took the bribe.

THE medical committee, which recently
made an examination of the health of the
school children of Providence, hold that pu-
pills are taken too young; that the vitiated
air Of the schoo-rooms causes consumption; I;
that epidemic diseases are caught there; that
the premature development of the mind
causes nervous diseases; that the young
minds are crammed with unintelligible stud
les and that the method is too artificial.
The committee hold that children should
not be admitted to school under the age OF
seven, and that the hours of confinement
and mental effort should be shortened, also
children in primary schools should not be
confined to their seats more than twenty
minutes at time, at the end Of which they
should enjoy an equal period of recreation

who by an unhappy accident being in i'm

abused their trust, perverted the laws which
it was their sworn dutyto execute justly and
impartially according to their spirit and in
tent, who have sought by wicked trickery to
thwart the will of the people as expressed at
the polls and who have not only brought dis
grace upon themselves but have smirched
the fair fame of the State whose officials they
unfortunately are. Their names and places
should be known of all men that they
may receive the just punishment OF being
regarded as infamous by all good citizens
and that the rising generation may learn by
their example the folly of being wicked
To this list will be hereafter appended the
names of such other men as shall take
offices to which they know they are not
elected and who become equally guilty by
taking advantage of the vile conduct Of
these malefactOrS:
