The crowd Of big men who stood on
the sidewalk and looked on while Jailer
Haz. Martin was tusseling with the fellow,
Smith, telling them that he was the jail
er, trying to recaptare an escaping prisoner
and calling upon them to come and assist
him, must certainly be nice brave set of
fellows. They are the material out
Of which great armies are made
"Pnafore" armies we mean, Of course.
With Cairo's small police force it is diff
cult enough to keep at bay the army Of
thdgs which, at this season of the year,
marches over the country. But by dint of
continual watchfulness and energetic &C.
ton on the part of our little force, lead on
by the chief, the city has been kept COM
paratively free from transient criminals,
and home criminals have been systematic
ally punished. But it is obligatory upon
every citizen to assist an officer who is
struggling with an obstreperous prisoner,
especially is this his duty when he sees the
prisoner getting the advantage of the Off
Ger. The plea that citizen may endangcr
his own life by such interference will not
hold good In one case out of hundred.
But when It is the case, the officer who is
attempting to make the arrest is certainly
in more imminent danger than the citizen
would be, and the man who would, without
q blush Of shame, acknowledge that he was
one Of an idle crowd which looked on
while faithful officer was risking his life
in vain cndeavor to overcome burly
thug, Is not an admirable specimen Of
manhood, to say the least.

The Opinion Of a PhysIcIaD.

A physician writing of Dr.. Guysott's Yellow
Dock and sarsaparlla, having carefully ana
lyzed its ingredients, says: ~ feel enthusi-
astic over this great health remover. There
can be no other remedy so harmless and yet
so effective. No other possible combination
OF drugs will more rapidly assist nature in
fastening the cure of general ill-health. In
neys and nervous system it is specially bene-
fetal. In its composition l was especially
pleased to find Iron, Celery and Juniper com
bine1 with the Sarsaparila and Yellow Dock.
Iron of itself is seldom beneficial, but in con-
nection with such valuable vegeteble tonics its
effects will at all times have tendency to
promote health and strength"

though it has remained on the books,
has long been imperative, has at last

give instructions that suicides shall be
inferred in chur chyard or other burial

been success but for the extraordinary
kittenish prank of Mr.. Ichabod Smiley,
who ought to have known better The
relatives of the family were all invited,
and Hannah sent her good man out to
notify each one what to carry. SO that
there might be a goodly variety. Icha-
bod had such an opportunity to play a
good joke that he couldn't help it. and
at the spreading OF the table this is the
way it came out:

said one of the ladies, " they re too sa t.,

Ichabod said l was to bring beans.'
''Did he? Why he must have made
a mistake. No two were to bring any
thing alike

beans in all my life" said another lady.

And so it went on until each basket
had been opened. Every blessed wom-
an in the party deposited pot of baked
bears on the table, loaf of brown
bread and nothing else. Hannah's
chaerin was terrible to see. She clied.

awhile and every one of those women
went for him. 1t was no use in his
making excuses, and laughing till his
sides ached. They didn't like it, and it
was not until he went hobbling off into
the woods to find some checkerberry
leaves that there was any peace at the
picnic.

AN OPEN LETTER
From the Hon. VIM. Taylor, late
Senator Of Mass,
OF GENERAL PUBLIC INTEREST JUST
AT THIS SEASON.
A GRAPHIC PRESENTATION OF
HIS OWN CASE.

Gentienaen,- TO say that am grateful, is only
poor expression of my feelings, but 1t is the best
word can use, for feel it in every sense of the
word. / have been great sufferer with skin dis
cases for the last twelve 2 years. My head and face
being covered with sores, could not rest with the
burning heat and itching of the parts affected, and
was confined to my house for weeks at a time. My
disease has been called scrofulous Eczema, of most
aggravated type, by many physicians, but 1 doubt
if ever fully understood by any of them. It was
more like a combination of several skin humors.
have spent much money seeking cure and in 1867
went to Europe and consulted some of the best
physicians in London. ] received temporary relief
only, for in the spring it would break out again
bad as ever. When came back to Boston, I was
told by many friends that DR. - (whose reputation
for tho cure of those diseases was of the highest
order) could cure me. ! waited ON the doctor he
prescribed for me. I followed his advice for six
months and I can safely say without any improve
ment. l tried other physicians, and among them
East DR.. - of Boston, and Dr. of city proper,
but all to no purpose. They did me good; their
remedies were so Intellectual that at time did
feel that cure would result from them. Now,
about three months ago, Mr.. Meehan, gentleman
well known to Boston people, called my attention TO
your CUTICURA REMEDIES and promised wonder
iui results II Woulu only MAKE IL tflai. lie lold
me of his own experience with it, and perseyered
on me that went with him to n drug store and
bought them, and commenced 10 use them accord
Ing to the directions There much humor
lodged within the skin, that soon as commenced
the use of CUTICURA it came TO the surface and
festered, until vast quantities had come out and
greatly intensified my sufferings for about two
weeks. But did not mind this, as felt that was
going TO get rid of the humor when saw it coming
to the surface in such large quantities. After the
first two or three weeks use of these remedies, |
was greatly encouraged by gradual lessening of
the inflammationof n number of painful sores.
carefully, faithfully and cheerfuly followed the
directions to the letter. feeling each week
cure, until at the present moment, after three
months use of CUTIcUEA REMEDIES and twelve
years of as constant suffering was ever endured,
/ can say that am cured and pronounce my case
the most remarkable record. | have been SO
elated with my success that have stopped men on
the street who were afflicted and told them to get
the CUT1cUIA REMEDIES, and they would cure
them. This Is why am grateful to you, for
believe them to be the best and greatest discovery
of the age, and that they will cure all who suf-
fering with these diseases. may add that l took
no internal medicine but the CUTIcURA REsoLvENT,
the New Blood Purifier. WILLIAM TAYLOR.
