An Interesting Fact.

In France, all patent medicines
must be endorsed by an official board
of physicians before they can be sold.
In lieu of such law in America,
the people have resolved themselves
into National committee which has
endorsed Swayne's Ointment for allay-
ing the itching accompanying the
Piles, an the only reliable remedy
in the market. Its poor rule
that won't work both ways.

An aged LADY, who had buried three

An aged lady who had buried three
husbands during her lifetime finally
died at South Granville, and her last
request was that her mortal remains
might repose beside those OF her hrst
husband. An investigation showed
that No. l. who had been twice mar
ried, was peacefully resting between
his two wives, whereupon. resort was
had to No. 9. Singularly enough,
his dust was found to occupy precise
ly similar position. Only one chance
now remained, and it was with some
uneasiness that the mourners visited
the grave Of No. 3. But the last OF
the trio had been more considerate-
Upon his right lay his first wife, but
upon his left there was vacant space,
and there mound WAS. quickly raised
above the earthly ,tabernacle OF his
second and last consort..

PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
Of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the oniv sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
KNOW. @ad the highest medical
autlic .i-s agree that nothing but
iron vii restore the blood TO It's
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilatc with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
net blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.

BRowN's IRON BITTERs effectual-
ly cures Dyspepsia, Indigestion and

relief and benefit to persons suffering
from such wasting diseases as Con-
sumption, Kidney Complaints, etc.

THERE seems to be a universal acqui-
escence in the belief that the Democratic
party has come into power to stay for a
long term, provided it behaves itself
in an acceptable manner" The Repub-
licans feel confident it will blunder,
many of its members fear while they
hope it will not. 1t must be admitted
that the hungriness for office, ,whichsome
of its own people are already manifesting,
is neither to their credit nor calculated
to help the elect of the party to free
dom from embarrassment in awarding
the patronage which falls to them to
allot.
As usual people are nominating them
selves for office. This is not good start.
Men who are conspicuously fit for place
will he singled out by popular apprecia.
tion, and those who are blatant in their
own praise or in behalf of their own
"claims - only advertise their own de-
fectS.
We sincerely trust that those who have
the appointing power will take time and
will be given some freedom in the selec-
ton of their appointees-for upon this
first step of Democratic administration
depends largely the success or failure
that is to attend it.

The Corwin, with her captain and sixty
sailors and marines, was despatched to
Hochinoo. Captain Merrium demanded
the surrender of the launch and prisoners,
which was refu sed. The next morning .
Gatling gun was placed on the beach aud
a force landed and destroyed all the
canoes. The Indians fled to the woods
and the village was shelled, the huts that
remained standing after the shellns beng
looted and burned. Several warriors who
yentured out of shelter were killed. This
severe lesson was necessary, rs the tribe
has been guilty of many acts Of cruelty to
the whites. Hearing while in Alaska
that Indians had taken possession of one
of the American fur trading company's
stations and held all the employees pris-
oners, Commander Hcaly went to their
relief and found the Indians very hostile.
He shelled their village and released all
tho prisoners. The village was totally
destroyed, and two chiefs were made
prisoners

GEN. BUTLER has in times past done
a great many things for which he has
deservedly received the severe condem-
nation of the Democratic party. He
has, nevertheless, somewhat rehabilitated
himself in popular esteem and confidence
by a courageous attack upon Repub-
lican abuses, and his election as governor
of Massachusetts, has caused quite a
quaking among the dry bones there.
The Democracy certainly can put him
forward with pardonable pride in the
comparison of him with such snive!ing
hypocrites as Geo. F. Hoar, ard in But
ler's old days, rich and indepen-
dent as he is, he has no incentive
to give Massachusetts anything less
than good government. If he does
this he will. earn the confidence which
the Democracy have exhibited by elect
ing him, and the ferv0r with wliic!, he
has promised it gives reasonable hope Of
fulGilment. Nevertheless there is no
foundation in reason for the chatter
about him being presidential nominee.

To Mr.. VIM. I. Harrity, chairman of
the Democratic city executive comR!t-
tee OF Philadelphia, and his assistants,
the Democratic party of the state owes
a debt OF gratitude. The confidence
which his integrity ana capacity for or
ganization inspired had much to do
with creating the conditions Of harmony
in that batroubled city, which made Mr..
Pattison's nomination possible. At the
Harrisburg convention he was no less
potential for Philadelphia's candidate,
and when. he became the nominee for
the state. Mr.. Harrity applied himself
to the organization of the party in Phil
adelpihia with skill and faIthfnlness
that have not been felt in the politics of
that city for many years. He was able
to command for the party resources that
had hitherto failed it {; he allowed no
division of responsibility nor of authori-
ty in the city organization and he knew
every weak place in the line. The ag-
gregate vote polled attests the measure
of his fitness for his place, and, consid-
ering the desperate onset made in Phila'
delphia during the last ten days of the
campaign, the fact that Beaver came
out OF it with Il small plurality attests
most forcibly the efficiency of the Dem
Ocratic organization there.

DEATH Er A HERO OF THE WAR.
flo in Killed Upon the railroad Track by
ErC i.ilt Train.

fIo il Killed Upon the 7! abroad Track by u
Freight Train.
Charles Ii. Vansant, Of Bucks county,
around whose namc history has wrcathed
q garland for heriosm during the late " AZ,
was killed at Cornwall station on the New
York. division oi the Pennsylvania railroad
Friday night by a freight train. Vansant
WIS tho man who at the battle of Balls
Bluff displayed consumate bravery by six
times rescuing the c"lors OF his regiment
from, tho rebels. lie was a cOlcr-
bearer in Colonel Il. ID. Baker, s
California regiment, and ut Balls
Bluff, during Il charge, Colonel Baker WAS
shot. Notwithstanding the bullets fell
like hail, Nansant gallantly bore his
wounded commander from the field, and
returning rescued the cclors from the
enemy. They were captured by tho Con
ietierates and rcgained five different times
afterward by Vansant in hand to hand
combat, and the heroic Pennsylvania
finally succeeded in getting away
with them by running. He was closely
pursued by the rebels, aud rs they
gained upon him he jumped into the Po-
tomac and buried tho flag in six feet Of
water. Then swimming the river to the
opposite shore. he took refuge in the Fed
eral lines. After tho Engagement Vansant
again returned to tho spot in tho POtO-
mao where he had buried the stars and
stripes, with q company of Northern sol
dicrs, dived for the flag, brought it up and
buried it Oh the river bank under stone.
After the war Lc returned to Pennsylvania.
and has since cultivated a little strip Of
land near Cornwall station, in Bucks
county. His house Overlooks tho
railroad, and is within a short
distance of it. Hc has recently been
addicted to drink and spent great deal Of
his time about tho station convcrsing with
the employees of tho railroad company.
Last Friday night he was seen standing on
tho railroad track near a freight train, and
i few minutes after the station master
was startled by a cry. lie ran out to sec
from whence it came, and discovered that
tho train had moved uD the switch and in
it's passage il had run over Vansant and
cut him in two. The man who exhibited
such daring courage at Balls Bluff was
dead and his body was taken into tho sta
tiOn. The deputy coroner of Bristol
began an inquest into the circum-
stances surrounding his death, but in
the absence of certain witnesses the in
quiry was adjourned. Vansant was fifty
years old, and leaves a wife and several
children. His heroic conduct ut Balls
Bluffs the subject Of special reference in
the histories of the late war.
