pulmonary diseases, affording prompt relief
and rapid cures, and is adapted to patients Of
any age or either sex. Being very palatable,
the youngest children take IL readily. In
Bronchitis, influenza, Clergyman's
Sore Throat, Asthma, Group, and Ca
tarrh, the effects OF AYERS CHERRY PBc-
ToRAL are magical and multitudes are an
nually preserved from serious illness by Its
timely and faithful use. II should be kept
at hand in every household for the pro-
lection It affords in sudden attacks. In
Whooping cough and Consumption
there Is no other remedy so efficaci0us,
soothing, and helpful.
Low prices are inducements TO try some OF
the many mixtures, or syrups, made OF cheap
and ineffective ingredients, now offered,
which: as they contain no curative qualities,
can afford only temporary relief, and are
sure to deceive and disappoint the patient.
Diseases Of the throat and lungs demand
active and effective treatment; and it is dan
gerous experimenting with unknown and
cheap medicines, from the great liability that
these diseases may, while SO trified with,
become deeply seated or incurable. Use
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL, and you may
confidently expect the best results. 1t is a
standard medical preparation, OF known and
acknowledged curative power, and is as
ingredients will allow. Eminent physicians,
knowing its composition, prescribe 1t In their
practice. The test Of half a century has
proven its absolute certainty TO cure all pull
monary complaints not already beyond the
reach OF human aid.

THE ASSASSIN SENTENCED

The closing act in the long trial Of
President Garfeld's murderer was per-
formed on Saturday, when Judge Cox
overruled the motion for new trial
and sentenced the assassin to be hanged
in the Washington jail on Friday, June
Both. III passing sentence, Judge Cox
expressed his approval of the verdict
and added that no prisoner had ever
had a fairer trial. Guiteau was abu-
sive to the last, and when the final
words of the sentence-''and may the
Lord have mercy on your sOul''-fell
from the Judges lips the prisoner cried
out in a voice Of passionate hatred !:
And may God have mercy on your
soul. / had rather stand where [ am
than where the jury does or where
Your Honor does. am here as Gods
man, and don't you forget it." The
Court in bane is now the assassin IS last
hope, but there is not the slightest
probability that the decision announced
on Saturday by Judge Cox will be re-
versed. 1t is to be regretted that under
the laws of the District Of Columbia
an earlier day could not have been
fixed upon for the execution of this
vilest of murderers whose name ever
polluted the history of this fair country.

large cities. A few of them have been
known to ask country publishers for
several insertions Of column pros
pectus and a half column Of reading
notices for an exchange with their
wood-pulp sheets. Of course weekly
paper cannot expect an even exchange
with daily published in distant city
and deriving little or no benefit from
the exchange. The difference the
country publisher should be and doubt
less is always willing to make up by the
publication of the annual prospectus,
if it be of reasonable length but when
mighty poor, sleepy, old lop-sided
daily that values itself at six dollars a
wear asks a country weekly for fifteen
or twenty dollars worth of advertising
space for the difference between the
subscription rates Of the two papers, it
seems to be about time for those who
are thus annually imposed upon to
make up their minds TO REFORM Ghe
prospectus imposition by giving the
prospectus one insertion in the waste
basket. That is the course the TRAN
SCRIPT is pursuing, and we find that it
works to our satisfaction. In this
connection, we will say that the pub
fishers of the New York Herald,
Philadelphia Times and Philadelphia
Ledger are among those who have been
entirely reasonable in their demands of
country weeklies, the two first named
never asking more than the actual diff
ference in subscription price, and the
latter asking nothing but an even ex-
change with such weeklies as it fayors
with a place on its list.

morning, puts the kettle on, feeds the
stock, cuts off the days fire wood,
does his own farm work, helps his wife
get dinner, hangs out the weeks wash

an agricultural paper, vaccinates a
whistling son with a shingle twice a
day, teaches a Sunday school class,
leads prayer meeting, churns twice a
week, reads the agricultural reports
sent by the member of Congress from
his district, sings in the choir, plays in
the village brass band and has spent
his leisure moments these winter even

already turned out four pairs Of double
mittens, quilt containing 968 pieces,
another one containing 1925 pieces, and

In THE PRIZE RING.-The long
talked-of prize fight between Paddy
Ryan. of Troy, N. Y, and John L.
Sullivan, of Boston, took place at Mis-
sissippi City, on Tuesday, and was wit
messed by an immense crowd Of people,
including an assorted congregation of
sports. gamblers, shoulder hitterS, ETC.,
from the principal cities in the country.
The officers were conveniently absent
from the scene Of conflict. Nine rounds
were fought in eleven minutes, in which
Ryan was badly punished by the Boston
boy, and finally knocked almost into a
double bow knot. Ryan's seconds then
threw up the sponge. Sullivan was
hardly scratched. Ryan after the fight
resembled Artemus Wards man who
went through a threshing machine,
got into the thingamajig, went out
with the straw and then got tramped
on by the horses" He lost all his
money OH the fight, and some thief
broke into hiSro0m and stole his clothes.
The fight was Sullivan's first with the
naked fists. He is now called " Cham
pion of America, y and we have no in
tention of disputing his right to the
title. Ryan won his reputation by
whipping old Joe Goss, an English
prize fighter, at Collier station, West
Virginia, in 1880. 1t is estimated that
at least 100000 were lost and won on
the late fight. The Bostonians came
home from the scene of conflict in pal
ace cars and the New Workers walked.

NEVER TOO OLD.

1t is refreshing for one in middle life
to read about what some Of the old
codgers Of history accomplished at
time of life when we of this day would
think of nothing but the manner in
which the heirs would get through
with what we we're going to leave be-
hind. For instance, Cato, we are told,
began to study the Greek language
when he was eighty years old. He
would probably have begun it sooner,
but he didn't think of it. Socrates, at
an extreme old age, learned to play on
the flute and thereby caused as much
profanity and wild despair among his
neigbbors as though he had been a
young man of twenty. Plutarch be-
gan to learn Latin after he had passed
his SEVENTEEN year. But Plutarch was
an extraordinary mamie had more
than one life. At least we frequently
hear of Plutarch's Lives. (Notwith-
standing this joke on Plutarch, the
TRANSCRIPT will be issued next Fri
day, as usual DIR. johnson applied
himself to the Dutch language but a
few years before his death, and mastered
enough Of it to lose all the jaw teeth
he fIad left. Eudioviico Mfondiidiesco,
1--WE do not know what his friends
called him for short), at the age Of one
hundred and fifteen wrote the memoirs
of his own times. Few of us now
adays have any taste for writing mem
oirs at that age. Franklin did not
bottle lightning nor invent stove to
smoke family out of the house and
oyer into the adjoining lot, until he
was fifty years old, PosteritY would
have thought more Of him if he had put
off inyenting that stove until he was a
hundred. Dryden, in his siXty-eigth
year, commenced the translation Of the
Eneid, his most pleasing production.
Many similar cases might I've cited to
show that man is never too old to ac-
complish things that will benefit him
self and those who will come after him,
and yet it is well for US not to put too
many great works off until we are
eighty, for fear we will not be here then
to take them up.

THE PROSPECTUS IMPOSITION.

There are many ways in which weekly
papers are imposed upon but we intend
to refer to only one of the many in this
paragraph. That is the prospectus
imposition. Annually We are told, in a
neatly printed circular from O dozen
periodicals ranging in price from two
to four dollars per year, that we will be
" favored (?) by an exchange" if we
will insert about twenty dollars worth
Of advertising, " besides the usual
monthly notices. - Every weekly news
paper in the country meets with a
similar experience, Of course, and in
very many cases the prospectus is in
serted "full length" and the favor
ed ~ country publisher gets a four
dollar magazine for a column of space,
together with a promise that he will
notice each issue of the magazine. But
as unreasonable as some of the maga-
zines are in what they ask for an ex-
change with weekly papers, they are
far oHtdone in the adamantine cheek
iness of their exchange propositions by
some Of the one-horse dailies of the

ARMED EUROPE.

full America. The article in the Herald
is accompanied by table showing the
population, effective strength Of army
in time of peace, total active army and
reserves, and total force that could be
armed and embodied, Of the five great
military powers Of Continental Europe
According to this table, France, with
population of 36,9O5, ,7S8, has an eff
fective armed strength Of 498, 483, and
in case of war could arm and bring into
service total force of 100000. Ger

has an effective peace force of Al, ,274
and could arm and embody a total force
Of 2, 100000 Russia, with population
of 90,O00,000, has an effective peace
strength of u.s. 900, and it is believed
could bring total force Of 4,OOO, 900
into service. Austria-Hungary, with
a population of IS, ,342, ,139, has a peace
strength of 252, ,535, and Italy, with a
population Of 27,769,4 ,475, a peace
strength amounting to 2O2,271. These
figures are startling to peaceful Amer
