Ague Cure

Q
 Is a purely vegetable bitter and powerful tonic, and is warranted a speedy and cer- tain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fever, Re- nittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all malarial dis orders. In masmatic districts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the back and loins, and cold ness of the spine and extremities, are only premonitions of seVerer symptoms which terminate in the ague paroSysin, succeeded by high Fever and profnso precipitation.
 Itis startling fact. that quininc. arsenic. and other poisonous minerals fdtm the basis Of most of the " Fever and Ague Prepara- uons." Specifics" Syrups," and " Ton ics," in the market. The preparations made from these mineral poisOns, although they are palatahe and may break the chill, dp not cure. but leave the malaral and their own drug poison in the system, producing quinism, dizziness. ringing in the ears, head ache vertigo, and other disorders more for midable than the disease they were intended to cure AYERS AGUE CURE thoroughly eradicates these nONious pUisons from the system, and always cures the sevcrest cases. It contains no quiniue, mineral, or any thing that could iniure the most delicate patient; and it's erownlng excellence, above it's ccr- taintY tO cure. is that it leaves the system as free from disease as before tho attack.
 For Liver Complaints, AyER's AGrs CURE, by direct action on the liver and hl- iary apparatus, drives out tho poisons which produce these complaints and stimulates tho system to vigorous, healthy condition. We warrant it when taken according to directions.

Letter from a Penitentiary
Convict.

Frankfort, KY. Nov. 16, 1881.
Ell. South Kentuckian:
The increase in the cl iininal calen-
lar, the ease and facility by which
criminals obtain delays in imporlan
cases, where the welfare of society
demands immediate and sure punish
meni, is becoming very alarming not
10 say dangerous. Being somewhat
acquainted with tho history OF our
present receptacle for the unfortunate
and misguided youth, rs well as the
hardened criminal, has led me to con
slider what deem defects in the
criminal law. In The first place ! be
lieve the law should provide a spe-
ci'ic punishment Tor each and every
oilrnse the power OF jurors should
be abridged they should not fix the
penalty to the crime, but simply de-
eide as to the guilt or innocence of the
prisoner, and let the law say what
penalty shou'd be ps.d for the
crime.
The community at large and citi-
Zens OF our state have convinced me
that there ere no extenuating cir
cumstanccs in crime. For instance
the law says, that murder in the first
degree shall be punished by death OIL
lifetime selv.tude in the penitentia-
ry. We see the wife murderer, the
,ral. :cide, the parricide, the midnight
assassin, all side by side IN the State
prison, paying the same penalty that
the youthful murderer is paying. The
boy of eighteen summers who com.
United his first offense under the
guidance of a fathers hand, is made
to suffer The same penalty as the
midnight assassinl We see meh
serving time for twcnty-one years
for manslaughier and others two
years forthe same otfense. It. there
are no extcnuating circumst ,nces in
crime, land claim there a"e none) |
ask where is the justice that one
should serve nineteen more years
than the other? We see the horse
thief scis,ng two years while. one
from another county is serving ten
1t may be urged that the one that is
serving ten is an old offender and las
perhaps been convicted before, II
so he certainly paid the penalty, and
why punish him twice Tor = Q same
offense? When punishment becomes
excessive it becomes brutal, aud
thereby loses Its merits. While OH
the other hand il il is commingled
with jnstlce and tempered with mer-
cy, it often recaims The fallen. | ask
your reade' TO think over this sub
iect, for deeply. feel the weight OF
these lhs. have but too family

these lines are written by one who
wears the garb of dishonor, aud ha,
cxpe, fenced the injustice Of what

count by exposing these evils OF
which speak, and help correct the
same. | viii feel that my life is not al

wife OF Joseph q. Crews, aged q
years . months and days.
She PROPOSED religion and joined
the Cumberland PRESBYTERIAN church
at Sharon, in Aug 1874. She was III :
obtrusive in her mann rs, yet those
who Knew her "took knowledge of
her, that she had been with Jesus
In her life she illustrated her profess
sion by her pure christian conduct.
In her death she sealed her faith with
her triumph. She was du,iful
child, an ailtctionate sister and a de-
voted wife, though her married life
was transient as the morning dew
Hardly four aud a half months had
time to pass between the marriage
altar and the casket that holds her
iiieless form. She has LEFT a father,
n large family of brothers and sisters
and many friends, but nearest of all,
an atfectionate husband to cherish q
holy memory Of her, while she is
with her salntcd mother, and above
all with her blessed Savior in the

OREGON.
Adyices from Portland.


PORTLAND, October 1Sth.-J. Stevens, a
carpenter, residing in East Portland, while at
work at the Oregon and California ferry to-
day, was struck by a falling timber and re-
ceived injuries which are thought viii result
fatally.
PORTLAND, October 1S.b.-The vessel re-
ported ashore on Clatsap Spit is the British
bark Fern Glen, SIS tons, coal laden, from
Wellington. No pilot was on board. The
Edith Lorne is safe outside. Mel particulars
have been received from the stranded vessel.
SECOND DIsPATCHl
PORTLAND. October 1Ssh.-The following
dispatches have just been received from As
toria at 500 P. NJ: The Fern Glen was on
her beam ends. They have given up trying
to take the crew off. We are sending vol
unteer crew from here.
3:25 P. M.-The men are ciinging to The
upper rail- The life-boat is too heavy to ep-
prosch. They are trying to get boats from
the shipping here. The gale is very heavy.
THIRD DISPATCH.l
ASTORIA, October 1Ssh.-The British iron
ship Fern Glen, Captain Bubb, from Yelling
ton, n. T., went ashore on Clatsop Spit Sun
day morning at o'clock. There was no
pilot on board. A life-boat from Fort Candy
station boarded her the same day. The
weather was then calm, and the prospects
were good for driving the ship over the Spit
into the channel. The Captain declined to
abandon his ship. Yesterday heavy SOUTH
east gale drove the ship farther up. The
Captain set signal of distress, which was
seen by the steamer General Candy, on her
way to Astoria. As soon as the news reached
here party consisting of several shipmasters
returned On the Candy with the ships life
boat to render assistance. A heavy gale and
running sea made it impossible for the boat
or anything else to reach her. The ship was
then upright, with sails set to drive her over.
LATER.-The Candy has just returned with
news that she ia on her beam ends, her spars
gone, and crew clinging TO her sides. The
Candy is about leaving with another life-boat

JAMES AND rYNgR.

1t is said that Postmaster. General James
insisted, during President Garfeld's life,
upon the removal of Tyner from the posi-
ton of First Assistant Postmaster General,
and that he based this request upon Tyner's
incomprehensible failure to urge the prose.
cution of the star-route swindlers, not
withstanding the fact that he (Tyner) had
examined the whole question, and had
written (but never submltted) report de-
failing all the rascalities of the ring. Mr.
James thought that an officer who kept
such report in his desk could not be re-
lied upon to press the prosecution, and
that his own course would be embarrassed
and hampered by such a subordinate. It
is now said that he has made the removal
of Tyner the condition Of his adherence to
President Arthur's Cabinet, and that
the President has refused to agree to
the proposition. 1t may well be
that James should have withstood every
effort to persuade him to stay in the Cabi-
net, but refusal to accept the condition
he named reflects upon the hackers of
Tyner, and not upon the Postmaster.Gen-
eral. Ii Tyner is in any way mixed up
with the star-route cases he ought to go.
whether or not James remains in the Cabi-
net. And as President Arthur has de-
clared his purpose to push these prosecu-
tons, the only possible conclusion is that
he DOS not believe TyRer to be compro-
missed. James, however, processes to have
the proofs of such compromise in his pos
session. Taking it altogether we should
be inclined to say that the prospects for an
early and energetic trial of these cases
were not very brilliant.

A NEW CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.

A st. Louis medical journal gives the
account of case in which peculiar treat.
ment was adopted. The patient suffered
from rheumatism with necrosis of the fe-
muir, bed sores and general emaciation.
He was suspended by straps in bath tub,
SO as to be completely submerged with the
exception of his head, and he was kept in
that position sixty-five days and nights
The case appeared to be progressing, and
high hopes of cure were entertained,
but the unfeeling patient insisted upon dy-
ing before he could be cured. This unfor-
tunate end to the experiment will perhaps
prevent the general adoption of the new
water-cure, but it is unhappily the case
that such casualties occur quite frequently.
Just when the doctors have perfected an
infallible mode of treatment, the Bretched
patient goes and dies under it, and then
stupid people, who know nothing whatever
of medical science, at once assert that the
experiment was failure. These are the
rewards Science must make its account
with in this cold, uncharitabls world.

THE RIOTS IN IRELAND.

There are riots in Ireland, but what they
are for is not SO easy to explain. AS pro-
tests against the arrest of the Land League
leaders they seem to possess the fault of
irrelevaucy. As protests against the Land
Act they must be regarded as premature,
seeing that the measure referred to has not
yet gone into effect. As means of obtain
ing the repeal OF the Act of Union they are
great mistakes, for nothing can be more
certain than that England viii refuse to
entertain any proposition whatever so long
as ireland is in state of anarchy. In fact
it is only too clear that nothing can pos
sibly be gained by these disturbances.
They are sure to be put down. Those who
take prominent parts in them are certain to
be betrayed and punished. And when the
excitement is over it will be perceived that
no step OF progress has been made.
