MANY persons in this county, and
especially in the town of Jackson, are
acquainted with Elder Mofett, the
lame preacher, of the Christian Church.
He wrote strong article on the tenn
perance question, which appeared in
the Christian Standard short time
ago. We copy it:
THE POND LAW AND ITS LESSONS.
The Commercial of last Wednesday
asks what the Pond Law has accom-
plished for temperance. We can not
hope to convince that sheet that it has
accomplished anything. Neverthe-
less, [ believe the Pond Law has not
been failure. We have, at least,
found out some things which will be
valuable to us in the future. We
have learned that all the organs of one
party, and also some independent
journals, are in league with the liquor
league. We have learned that all the
leaders of one great political party are
opposed to any law which will seri-
ously cripple the liquor interests. We
have found out that some of the lead
ers of another great political party are
too cowardly to take a stand unequiv-
ocally for temperance We have as
certained that the rank and file of one
great party is almost unit for strin-
gent legislation regulating traffic in
liquors, and that the rank and file of
another great party are almost a unit
for free whisky every day in the week.
We have ascertained where and how
strong the enemy is, and how strong
the forces are which may be marshaled
to meet him. The first battle of Bull
Run taught these very lessons con-
cerning the rebellion. The Appomat-
tox was some years later. So now,
this is only a Bull Run defeat for
temperance. The enemy shouts,
dances, parades, boasts, defes, mocks,
just as it did in the dark day of the
rebellion. Union men had simply to
shut their teeth and weep, and wait
for the end, hardly daring to prophesy
what that end would be. So now we
can hardly hear our voices amid the
demoniac shouts of the devotees of
King Alcohol and King Gambrinus.
We can only bow our heads IN shame
for our common humanity. And yet
[ believe there will be for us an APP
pomattox, where all these hellish
forces will be compelled to stack their
arms in inglorious surrender. We can
afford to wait. The Pond Law has
given us confidence in our. strength,
and assured us Of the final victory.
We have no confidence in the hair
splitting discussions of Lawmakers
and law-breakers, and not much more
in the flimsy technicalities of great
judges. The people are getting ready
for great battle, the greatest in the
history of our State. The sovereigns
of Ohio are getting ready to speak
with no uncertain sound. The great
rock of truth and right is getting in
position to fall, and men who deridt
temperance had better get ready tt
stand from under; for ON whomsoeve,
it shall fall, he will be ground to pow
der. The pulpit and the rostrum, tn
churches and the firesides, the high
ways and the byways, will yet rim!

Scientific Advancement.

Scientific advancement, it has been
remarked, has been slower and less
noticeable in the care Of the sick and
the treatment of disease than in any
other department. of human knowl-
edge. The life or death of patient
is too frequently mere matter Of ac-
cident or chance. Some great discov-
cries, however, have been made and
certain remedies are known and used
with almost infallible curative results.
Such remedy is Taraxine where de-
ranged liver is involved, or where dis
eases of the Bowels, Kidneys or Spleen
prevail. For sale by E. d. Lewis.

A Blessing.

The pain in all his joints became
intense; fever, with its deteriorating
effects, was now added, and he became
rapidly reduced to the semblance of
a skeleton, while vitality reached its
lowest possible condition, and his suf-
ferings were OF such indiscribable
character that those who most loved
him sometimes thought it would be
better if he were called away. At
this time, physicians, well-known in
this city Pittsburg), informed his
parents that he was in imminent dan
ger of total Paralysis, and directly
afterward they announced to his sor-
rowful mother that they could give
no hopes of his recovery. At this
juncture the use Of Peru,aa was COM
menced, and in six weeks VIM Lin
coin Curtis was well and at work.

jealousy.

Some poet has said that "All tor
ments of the damned we find in only
thee, Oh Jealousy, thou tyrant of the
mind" This is grandly sweeping and
magnifcently inaccurate. Any suf-
ferer from Indigestion knows to the
contrary. Indigestion the villain Of
the tragedy played among the gastric
juices Of the stomach can, and does
double discount the horrors of jeal-
ousy. Jealousy is often an attendant
upon the latter, and when indigestion
is removed this jaundiced companion
of a deranged liver flies. Taraxine is
the best known remedy extant for i'm
paired digestion, deranged liver, and
diseases Of the bowels and kidneys.

ply to the question Of the gentleman
from New York, that when such al
uncontradicted charge as that which
have read is made against a committet
Of Congress, and when it appears that
they have used the money Of the peo.
pie to contract and pay such bill as
that submitted by the gentleman from
Indiana, Mr. COBB, it is time for the
representatives Of the people on this
floor to proclaim in the House what
everybody outside knows, and to pro-
test against it. And [ stand here to
protest in the name Of my constitu-
ents, and I believe in the name of the
people Of this country, against foist-
ing upon the taxpayers of this coun-
try the payment Of bills like this, in
Cured under the plea Of extending a
welcome to twenty. gentlemen from
France.
If this expenditure for liquors had
been simply for our foreign guests
there might be some excuse for 81
lence; but every one knows that it was
incurred mainly for others; and unless
there is protest on this floor, as well
as in the country, against the repeti-
ton Of such abuses as this we never
shall hear the last Of them. [ there
fore take the responsibility upon my
self, in connection with the gentle
man from Indiana, Mr.. COBB, to
read to the House charges published
in all parts of the country, which have
been uncontradicted, and to say that
if they are true they are disgrace tc
the country, and if they are not true
some one should rise here and now
and contradict them.
| call upon the representatives of
the people not to counsel silence when
it is proposed to pay such bills from
the public Treasury, but to speak out
words of truth; for unless they are
spoken, unless we do protest against
such proceedings as this, we shall find
the evil increasing from year to year.
| am glad the gentleman from Indiana
Mr.. COBB has brought forward the
six-thousand-dollar bills for liquor,
which go far to sustain the truth of
the transaction to which the cores
pondent Of the Cincinnati Commercial
referred.

Grand Discoveries.

The discovery of a great remedy is
frequently matter Of accident. This,
however, is not the case with TAR
AXINE, now widely known and ap-
proved as an almost infallible remedy
for Liver Complaint, and diseases Of
the Kidneys and Bowels. The best
physicians have for many years used
various preparations of dandelion root
in these diseases, but with only indif-
ferent success. After long series of
experiments, combination, with the
active principle Of the Dandelion as a
basis, and other approved remedies to
highten its potency has been effected,
and the desired specific for these dis
eases has been found in the produc-
tion-TARAXINE. For sale by E..

JACKSON, OHIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1882.

WE said last week that Mr.. Nea
had sent US portion Of the Congress.
ional Record, containing the bills pre-
sented for the Yorktown spree. We
quote a portion Of the Record, OF
June 7th. Mr.. Cobb, of Indiana
said:
The gentleman from New York
! Mr.. Hiscock alluded a moment ago
to the political aspect of this question,
and read the name Of the honorable
chairman of this commission. Sir,
that has no terror for me. IL the
gentleman expects to close my lips
from uttering what suppose it to be
my duty on this floor to say, on the
ground that it will compromise some
political friend of mine, | can tell him
that he is very much mistaken. Let
it strike where it may; | say that these
things cannot be remedied in any bet
ter way than by exposing to the pub
lie gaze the extravaganza and reckless
conduct of these things.
Hence | send to the Clerks desk
and ask to have read part of the ac-
counts that are included in this appro-
priation, or that were paid perhaps
from the appropriation already made
As | understand, these items have
been paid, but in paying them money
was used that ought to have been ex-
pended for legitimate objects in this
celebration, and thereby the credit of
the country saved. ask the Clerk to
read it, and let it 60 to the country
for what it is worth, and let it hit |
where it may.
The Clerk began the reading Of the
paper, but before concluding,
The CHAIRMAN said: The time
of the gentleman from Indiana has
expired.
Mr. ROBINSON, of Massachusetts,.
Has the list of articles expired?
Laughter
Mr.. COBB. I ask leave to print
the remainder of the document, a part
Of which l have just caused to be read.
There was no objection.

New York Mr. H1scocK remarked a

that these transactions should remain

abroad throughout the country. If
they were not already known to the
country, if every newspaper in the
land had not already trumpeted this
disgraceful affair, there might be some
point to the suggestion.
But | hold in my hand a special
dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial
which has appeared in all the promi-
