Rheumatism

Pain in the Back and Side.
There is nothing more painful than these
diseases; but the pain can be removed and
the disease cured by use of Perry Davis
Pain Killer.
This remedy is not cheap Benzine
or Petroleum product that must be kept
away from fire or heat to avoid danger
of explosion, nor is it an untried expert
ment that may do more harm than good.
Pain Killer has been in constant use
for forty years, and the universal testimony
from all parts Of the world is, Ii never
fails. 1t not only effects permanent cure,
but 1t relieves pain almost instantaneously.
Being purely vegetable remedy, it is safe
in the hands Of the most inexperienced.
The record of cures by the use of PAIN
KILLER would fill volumes. The following
extracts from letters received show what
those who have tried it think:
Edgar Cady, owatonna, Mimi, says:

Mr.. Burditt writes:
Itneuer fails to give relief in cases of rheumatism.
Phil. Gilbert, Somerset, Pa. writes:

BAD THoUGHTs.-Bad thoughts, if
cherished, blight virtue, destroy purity,
and undermine the stablest foundations
of character. They are like rot in tim

of an outward temption, down they go
into mass of ruin Ships 60 out to
sea all bright with fresh paint, their
sails all spread and streamers flying,
and never come back, never reach the
port. Why? They met a storm and
went down, because they were rotten.

bad thoughts. vile, impure thoughts, rot

Of virtue, and leave the man, the woman
to the violence of temptation. with no in
terror of reserve power to withstand the

The shipments of merino sheep to
Texas, Colorado and other Western
States and Territories is large and rap
idly increasing. There seems to be
growing tendency to improve the grade
of wool in these sections, and fine wool
in these sections, and fine wool sheep
are correspondingly encouraged. Prices
rule high for frst-class merino rams,
several sales having been recently made
by Eastern parties at $1,000 to $4,000.

The large eating capacity Of a good
dairy cow is proverbial which will be
easily understood if we make a cursory
examination of her productions. Sup
pose cow weighing 900 lbs. yields
5000 lbs. of milk in nine months.
This milk would contain $50 lbs. of
dry matter, counting 81 per cent. wa
ter. Here she yields 6 2-3 times her
own weight in milk, and the dry sub
stance in the milk is twice that in her
own body. The cow is the most re-
markable food producer among animals.
She produces twice as much food in her
milk as does the beef animal of the
same weight in its gain in flesh during
the same time.

The Elections.

Several states held elections on Tues
day, including New York, Massachu-
sets, Virginia, New Jersey, Connect
cut, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Mary
land, Minnesota, Illinois, Mississippi
and Nebraska. The returns are mea-
gre from most of the states, and we
can only give the outlook up to the
time of going to press. 1t is probable
that the Democratic state ticket in
New York is elected, and the legisla-
ture is in doubt. In Virginia there
are indications of Readiuster victory !;
New Jersey and Connecticut have gone
Republican Wisconsin also Republic
can; Massachusetts is overwhelmingly
Republican; Pennsylvania elects a
Republican state treasurer, the main
object i'll this election Minnesota Re-
publicans elect their candidates with a
light vote and consequently smaller
majority than usual Mississippi and
Maryland of course are Democratic /;
and the returns from other states are
very scattering.
The final result promises to be not
quite what the Republicans looked for,
but as it is an 'off year." they give
this as reason for the failure to carry
New York-if such proves to be the
case. At Washington the Democratic
victory in New York was anticipated.
1t is generally charged to Stalwart
apathy joined to disgust among indie
pendent voters at some of the methods
and candidates of the new machine.

The Newark Bank Steal.

The managers of that Newark bank
which was relieved of about two mil
lion dollars by its cashier prove to
have been a fine set of financiers and
it is no wonder that Baldwin was able
to handle the funds of the bank to suit
his own purposes. 1t turns out that
one of the clerks who left the bank two
years ago has just been arrested for
embezzling $4,000 of the banks money
in IA manner very suggestive of his hav-
ing taken lessons, in the fine art of en-
bezzlement, from Baldwin. The fact
has become apparent that it was Mr..
Baldwin, the cashier, who discovered
the embellishments of this clerk, and
who called him into his private room
to announce the discovery, and lecture
him upon his crime. AS the Boston
journal puts it "What picture that
was for a painter-we mean IA painter
with moderate sense of humor-
Marchbank, the clerk who had got
away with paltry fifty thousand dol
lars, kneeling for mercy at the feet of
a man who was robbing the bank of
millions. If Marchbank had under
stood Baldwin's character then, how
mucn easier his mind would have been.
But fellow feeling makes us wondrous
kind, and Baldwin forgave Marchbank
and sent him back to his desk" and
this deficit in the clerks accounts was
covered up in some mysterious way by
consent of the directors.
This is very interesting state of at
fairs in an institution which is called
sound" and whose stock was up to
$50 the very morning when the great
steal of the cashier was announced. 1t
shows wonderful ignorance or Grim
inality on the part of the directors, and
an iDexcusable negligence on the part
of IA bank examiner who would permit
such a thing to happen, when he could
have discovered the crime if he had
even half done his duty.

to our agricultural readers The ma
tional butter, cheese and egg associa-
ton will hold its next annual meeting
in the city of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on
Tuesday, November Doth, and the
three following days. Despite the
snow blockade last March, the attend
ance was large, and the meeting was
justly regarded as perhaps the most
important dairy gathering ever held
in this country. In connection with
this there will be IL Dairy Fair, with
various departments. Cash premiums
to the extent of 81 ,675 are already
provided for. besides bronze, silver,
and gold medals, diplomas, etc, for
dairy products. A cash prize of S25 is
offered for the best essay on butter
making, care of cows, etc. Mr.. Hib-
bard has been requested to secure as
full returns us possible from the dairy
interests of Vermont, and sOlicits from
every owner or manager of cheese
factory, the name of factory owner,
number of cheese, number of pounds
of milk and number of cows during
the last season, and returns from large
private dairies. He would like the
name and address of every maker of
fine maple sugar, with the number of
trees and amount made in 1881, as he is
in receipt of inquiries from Western
purchasers respecting good sugar max
ers in Vermont.

American Militia.

Archibald Forbes, the noted English
war correspondent, who was at the
Yorktown celebration and wrote up
the affair for the English press, pays
the American Militia compliment as
follows
| am free to say that it seems to me
that if there are a great many regi-
ments like that Connecticut regiment
which / saw there on parade i'll a ma
ton, it don't want any standing army
at all, as they would constitute "A far
cheaper and more effective force than
any standing army would be. | have
seen all the armies in the world, be-
lieve, from the Afghan scalawags to
the Russian imperial guards, and
have never seen greater precision and
solidity than those men manifested on
that dress parade. TO me it was a
revelation, and rather a disagreeable
revelation, simply from this point of
view, which you can easily understand,
that became painfully aware that here
was another factor in the world capa-
Bile of beating us. A man never likes
to find out that the number of men
stronger than himself is on the in
crease. We Englishmen have been
indulging in the satisfaction that how
ever the continental countries might
grow with their millions of reserves
against our hundred OF two hundred
thousand trained troops, we were yet
capable of staggering over the United
States in the matter of drill and dis
cipline and punctilious performance
of evolutiOns but what | saw proves
to me that such was not the case.

Our New York Letter.
New YORK, Nov. 4, 1881.

NEW DIRK, Nov. 4, 1851.
Another cashier has been too smart
for his own good, and the collapse of
the Mechanics National Bank, of New
ark, was wholesale affair. OF course,
everybody was very much surprised
that a bank established over 50 years
should go up, or that the eminently
respectable cashier should have stolen
81, 100000; and nobody could under
stand how he could do it, or why he
should do it, being in safe receipt of an
excellent salary. How soft and simple
we are, to be sure. Why, the thing
was simple enough. He was devotee
of the great god Commission, and the
idol went back on him. He allowed,
for consideration of | per cent, over
drafts to an ignorant, brutal mule of
an Overbearing wild Irishman, who
had by skill in his trade risen to the
head of business too big for even a
wise man to manage on small capital,
but was no more than thick headed
mechanic, who understood but one
thing, after all. The consequence was
the mechanic had practically unlim-
tied credit, and, like Monte CristO, ex-
pected his drafts to be hOnOred at any
moment, to any extent, in the ridicu-
lousy reckless business he conducted,
while, if Baldwin rebelled he held the
lash over him of exposing his under
hand acceptance of this bride of per
cent. The cashier, after the first
yielding to temptation, became the
mechanics bond slave. At the same
time, if he had saved his commissions
instead of squandering them in Wall
money, though he won't confess it now,
he might have got away with pot of
money and been awarded SO much of
respect as a knave sometimes gets.
As he himself said, "no one respects a
fool"
This commission business is a weed

who is supposed to have the ear of the
merchant they CLEAN their living from
and so it goes. Every now and then
there's a burst up ON a larger or a
smaller scale, for ''easy come, easy gO'
is the rule, and the bribee is sure to
drop his lightly earned lucre in Wall
street, the pool room, or gambling
hell, and when he meets bad ''luek" a

the head of government, in a response
BILE position who had seen the corrupt
workings of the present system and
had done what he could to introduce a
reform thus he spoke like one having
authority. Listening to him, it was
easy to see how difficult position the
head of a department filled, and easy
to account for so many abuses and so
much corruption. The theory of Mr..
Schurz on this great question is very
plausible one, and his idea of remedy
one that would doubtless remove the
evil could it be fully carried out. He
sees no remedy save at the hands of
the people-no sure cure for this ma
tional curse outside of public opinion
which will demand and enforce meas
ures looking to the elevation of our
politics. The CaledOnidR believes hear
tily in a reform of the civil service, and
applauds the efforts of Mr.. Schurz, Mr..
Curtis and other earnest advocates in
this direction but we do not expect to
see any rapid progress toward the de-
sired goal. 1t takes great while to
educate public opinion to certain points,
and as we have said OH previous oc-
casion, this work will be necessarily
slow and to be successful in its final
issue it must be begun in every city,
town and village in the nation. Such
a combination can work out a mighty
result if the scheme is taken up in
earnest
