SKILL VS.. IGSoRAScE.-As perfect
pharmaceutical preparation, we are told
that Hoods Sarsaparilla surpasses any
proprietary article upon the market. Even
to our inexperienced eye We see positive
indications Of the truth of the foregoing.
A glance at the article shows the scra-
pulous neatness and care with which the
detail of its manufacture and putting up
must be conducted. These points are OF
importance in any business, but in the
mapipulations of remedies for the relief OF
human suffering they become of supreme
importance, and only such medicines are
worthy public confidence.

A BRAVE BoY.-Mr. A. ;. kimball's son
is quite i'll with continued fever. Some
two weeks ago he went bathing in the
pond at Waterford with several other
boys. One of these, very heavy boy,
from some cause went down. Young Kim
ball dove after him and brought him up
but was unable to hold him. He called fol-
help, and second time brought him up,
when by the assistance that came the
drowning boy was rescued. 1t is thought
the excitement and exhaustion consequent
upon this rescue has had something TO do
with his sickness. Ii was very brave
act and deserving of the greatest praise.

AN OBSCURE HERO.

Here is story which comes to US from
New York: An engineer named Edward
Osmond was recently running passen-
ger express train through from Philadel-
phia to Jersey City. 1t was one of the
swiftest and heaviest trains, which are
only entrusted to the most experienced
engineers. The train was making sixty
miles an hour, when heavy connecting
rod of the driving wheel on the right of
the engine broke, and one end of it,
swinging upward with terrible force,
struck the cab beneath him, and shatter-
ed it into thousand pieces.
Osmond fell senseless on the engine.
He was both burned and scalded, and the
pain quickly restored consciousness. The
engine, with its open throttle, was rush
ing forward with frightful velocity to cer-
tain destruction.
Inside the long train of cars men were
talking, smoking, laughing; women play
idS "lth tucu DdDtS. 1uo uI6IQuu let
himself down from the tender and es-
capped. Osmond might have done the
same. Instead, he crept along the side
of the engine, carefully let himself into
his place, and with his burned hands re-
yersed the engine and applied the air
brake. The train stopped. People in
side the cars went on with their reading
and their gossip, and the children played
with their mothers, who wondered, in
differently, perhaps. why the train was
stopping again. They never will know
how, in ore brief minute, they passed
over the very mouth of the grave, and
were snatched back by the quiet, high
courage of one poor workman.
To our mind there is something finer
in the calm integrity to duty in the face
of danger and death which is SO often
seen in the lives of obscure American
mechanics who fill posts OF responsible
ty, than in the dash and sudden courage
of many a daring soldier on the battle
field

DURING the fourteenth century, when
the Hebrew race was undergoing one of
those periodical prosecutions which it has
been subjected to during the long reign
OF events as recorded by history, since
the birth of Moses, there lived an opu-
lent Jewish merchant. Persecution,
which always seeks vulnerable point
and never dares assail strength, fixed up
on the rich Jew as a victim. The Cadi
of Ispahan, from motives of jealousy and
class prejudice, made matters so unpleas
ant for the Jew that IN despair he went
to him and said, "You will not allow me
to live here; where shall go2" $50 to
Bagdad, replied the Mutt. "But, re
sponded the Hebrew, ''your brother rules
there" "Go to Ispan, then" "But
your uncle is chief magistrate there. -
$50 to Damascus, then" .But your
nophow ruloo there. Then II my tam
lily will not allow you to live in this world,
go to HI" "Ah, me-" replied the Jew
''you forget your respected father is
dead"

tism of more than one nation, through
whose records they descended to the
present people of these States. I am
satisfied, from representations of persons
competent to judge, they are as perfect
a system of laws as may be found else
where, and better suited than any other
to the condition of this people, for by
them they have long been governed
Why should it be supposed Congress
has abolished these laws2 Why should
any one wish to abolish them2 They have
committed no treason; nor are hostile to
the United States; nor countenance
crime; nor favor injustice. On them, as
on a foundation or rock, reposes almost
the entire superstruction of social order
in these two States. Annul this code of
local laws and there would be no longer
any rights, either of person or property,
here. Abolish the local tribunals made
to execute them, and you would virtually
annul the laws, except in reference to
the vely few cases cognizable in the
federal courts. Let US, for moment,
suppose the local civil code annulled;
and that an left, as Commander of the
Fifth Military District, the sole fountain
of law and justice. This is the position
IN which you would place me.
II am now to protect all rights and
redress all wrongs? How is it possible
for me to do itl Innumerable questions
arise, of which 1 am not only ignorant,
but to the solution of which military
court is entirely untitled. One would
establish will, another deed; or the
question is one of secession, or partner
ship, or descent, or trust; suit Of eject
ment or claim to chattels, or the applica-
ton may relate to robbery, theft, arson
or murder. How am I to take the first
step in any such mstter2 If turn to
the acts of Congress I find nothing on
the subject. dare not open the authors
on the local code, for it has ceased to
exist.
"And you tell me that in this perplex-
ing condition I am to furnish by dint of
my own hasty and crude judgment, the
legislation demanded by the vast and
manifold interests of the peoplel I
repeat, sir. that you, and not Congress,
are responsible for the monstrous sug-
gestion that there are no local laws or
institutions here to be respected by me,
outside the acts of Congress. 1 say
unhesitatingly, if it were possible that
Congress should pass an act abolishing
the local codes for Louisiana and Texas
which / do not believe-and it should
fall to my lot to supply their places with
something of my own, do not see how
l could do better than to follow the laws
in force here prior to the rebellion, ex-
cep.ing whatoror tLoIIn shall relate to
slavery. Power may destroy the forms,
but not the principles of justice; these
will live in spite even of the sword
History tells us that the Roman pandects
were lost for a long period among the
rubbish that war and revolution had
heaped upon them, but at length were
dug out of the ruins-again to regard it
as priceless treasure"

''Do? He did a deal. Here's how it
is: often go to Springfield in the even

"Did she make fuss2''
