A BOYS Luck.

The NOrristown Pa.) Herald in a
recent issue referred among others, to
the following cases of special interest.
They are their own commentary. Mr.
Samuel G. Nyce, resides at 30S Mar
shall street, and holds the responsible
position of journal clerk in the Penn
sylvania Legislature, at Harrisburg.
While Mr.. Nyce and family were in the
country recently, his boy, aged three
years fell and broke his leg. He re.
covered, but a very troublesome stiff
ness set in and he could scarcely use
his leg. The injured limb was rubbed
several times with st. Jacobs Oil, and
the stiffness was so much reduced that
the boy was able to use his leg freely.
DR., Knipe said it was the use of st.
Jacobs Oil that cured the stiffness.
Mr.. Nyce himself used the Great Ger
man Remedy for toothache with good
effect, and also for sprain and pains
of rheumatic nature, and always with
good effect. Mrs. Nyce also says she
thinks the Oil is a splendid thing, and
she always keeps it on hand.

A correspondent Of the Santa Fe
New Mexican writing from Ell Paso
says: 81 went down to see Gov. An
thony the other day, a i'd found that
gentleman surrounded by an army OF
clerks and deeply engaged in his execu'
tive duties as superintendent of the
Mexican Central railroad. He found
time however TO show me the place
and to explain the various departments.
In one room | was shown the plans for
the Mexican Central depot. the erection
of which is to commence shortly. III e
main depot building is to be built af-
ter the style of Mexican houses, being
of adobe placitas and only one story
high. The architect has succeeded in
drawing the plans for very con-
veniently arranged and at the same
time handsome building, 16Ox12S feet,
with thirty rooms. The governor IL
vited me to go down to the front With
him in the afternoon, which l did, and
which, by the way delayed this letter
another day. The road extends down
into Mexico to point just twenty.four
miles fro n Paso del Norte. A ride
over it proved that SO far the Mexican
Central road has ole of the smoothes
and most substantial tracks in the
country. Gov. Anthony says the bed
will be equally as good the entire dis
tance, which will make a trip over ii
a luxury to those accustomed to the
ordinary railroad travel. At the front
we found an army of men at work.
They were laying track at the rate of a
mile day, and very frequently this
distance is exceeded. The front is now
within few miles of the famous Sand
Hills and nearly at the foot of the
Candaleria mountains. The distance
from Paso del Norte to Chihuahua by
the M. G. route is just 272 miles, so
that there are still 100 odd miles yet to
be laid. The road will be very straight
and will have a maximum grade OF
] only thirty-seven feet to the mile, a
very remarkable fact considering the
mountainous country through which il
! passes"

he saw an unknown person of some
European nationality demanding his
Celestial maiesty's crown, and that he
was compelled by sense of danger to
promise to surrender the crown within
the present year. This dream has so
worked upon the Chinese mind that
the year 1881 is regarded as an
unlucky one, and unfavorable for the
undertaking of any serious enterprise.
In order to verify these rumors of de.
lay on the part of the Chinese, Lieu.
Col. Maiefsky has been sent to Shiho
to make inquiries. Upon rein tating
themselves in the Iii province, the Chi
nese intend to build four different for
tiIica.ions. One is to be in Talka, one
on the ruins of Baian, one on the
south side of the city of Kuldia, on
the banks of the river Iii, and the
fourth at spot called Turgun Sur
noun, on the left bank of the III. Be-
sides these, three other special forts
are to be erected on the River KhOrgOs.
The Chinese believe that the seat of
authority will be established at some
place on the banks of the Iii, thus re-
moving it much closer TO the future
frontier with Russia. According to
report, the Chinese intend to fill up the
gaps which the extensive emigration
of the Tarantchis to Russian territory
will leave in the restored province by
promoting the movement thither of
eight thousand families from Kashgar
and other towns of eastern Turkestan.
In order to insure the subsistence of
the Chinese troops until the arrival of
these emigrants, the Chinese command
er is endeavoring to purchase 100000
pOOds of flour from the Tarantchis,
and at the same time number Of Chi
nese are trying their best to buy up
grain from among the people of the
hi valley near Kuldia, but the latter
are outstanding their resources in view
of removing to Russian soil, and, there
fore, refuse to sell.

A National Convention.
HEADQUARTERS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, J
NATIONAL GEEENHACK LABOR PARTY,
DNNyiLLE ILL December l. ls5i }


This committee has received many
suggestions from earnest workers in
the cause of human rights, that a con.
ference or convention should be called
to unity and organize the people pre-.
paratOry to the political campaign of
1882, upon which we are about to en-
ter. In response to these suggestions,
the committee has determined upon
this line of action:
1t will prepare and distribute broad
cast throughout the country blank
forms for signature by the people, call
ing for a national convention consisting
of representatives of those who ad-
here to the principles for which we are
struggling. When half.million sig
natures to this call have been secured,
this committee will designate the time
and place for holding the convention.
Inasmuch as this method of calling
a national convention is an innovation
upon established methods in our own
party, as well as in all Others, the com
mittee will assert the grounds for its
action:
|. That a new and accurate enroll
ment of our strength may be made.
2. That a new system of work and
propagandism may be put in action
puring this winter season, taking ad-
vantage of the apathy in the ranks of
the o.d parties and the absence of any
issue between these dominant and war
ring factions to engage the attention
Of intelligent and earnest men.
3. 70 offer a basis of union for po-
litical action, to be formulated by the
proposed convention, to all the various
organizations outside of our own RANKS
land leagues, farmers alliances,
trades unions, anti-mOnopOly leagues,
producers movements and associations
Of working men-and to all liberal
minded people of every vocation and
class, who are aroused by the growth
of the predatory corporations, by the
development of IA corrupt governing
class, and by the subtitle forms of des-
pOtism which threaten to destroy the
liberties and the dearest rights Of the
people.
Believing that the people have
reached Il crisis not alone in govern
mental affairs, but in civilization it.
self, the committee would invite and
urge the cooperation in this plan of
action of all men and women who are
willing in the impending conflict to
make a stand for the rights of man
and the dignity of human nature.
The committee would recommend in
this connection that, as soon as ten or
more signatures have been secured to
the appended paper in any Locality, a
club shall be formed to advance the
work of enrolment and organization.
BY order of the executive committee.

HOUK'S LYING CAMPAIGN.

Those who have read the CHRoAl-
GLE during the last two months will
bear testimony to the fact that we
have made no charges against L. G.
Houk, the truth of which we do not
stand ready to prove, whenever the
proof is demanded. We have charg
ed that during the last session of the
Forty-sixth Congress-, he was absent
from his post of duty when the roll
was called, mo than six-sevenths
of the time. The Congressional
Record shows this to be true, and
he does not deny it.
In replying to this charge, his
Knoxville organ said, IN substance,
that there was nothing IN this that
the hardest working and most in
dustrious Congressman were :" the
least often IN their seats" We
knew this to be false, and every IN
telligent man in the district knew it
was false. Having made the charge
of absenteeism, and this excuse hay
ing been given, we felt it to be our
duty to ourselves and to the people.
to give the real reason, and we did
it. We showed that his absence
grew out of his dissipation !;
that, instead of faithfully attend
ing to his official duties, he
was drunk in Washington, drunk in
Nashville, drunk at home. These
charges we have made, and we have
the proof. Whenever it is demanded
it will be presented.
1t has been charged that he was
at Maryville on the day after the
recent county elections, where he
attempted to make public speech,
but failed because he was too drunk
to get his ideas together or to ex>
press them if he had any There
are three hundred living witnesses
To that fact who reside in that
county.
We have made other charges
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1882-08-20

of which the above are spec
cimens. We are ready to
prove each and every one of them.
We will make none except they are
well founded.
Now, how have they been met?
Not denied? No attempt has been
made to prove them false. Houk
has lodged some of them, some of
them have been laughed off, others
he has paid no attention to- But he
has tried to break their force by ly-
ing counter charges. He has fabri
Gated accusations against his cons
petitor which he knows to be false
and the people know to'be false. His
campaign is campaign of lies The
fact that he is drunkard is bad
enough, and the fact that he neglects
his official duties is worse. But
worse than all this, is the fact
that he will not speak the
truth when his interests are best
served by falsehood He knows
that he does not stand a ghost of a
chance before the voters of this
district on his official and personal
record, and his policy is to lie his
way through, He believes that a
majority of the voters are ignorant
and degraded, and that they are con
trolled by passion and prejudice
that they are destitute of reason and
principle. But he misjudges them.
1t is more than two months until
the election and the people will have
time to consider this matter and the
mist that may be temporarily raised
by Houk's lies will clear away in
time to leave hiIn fully exposed
in all his rottenness and deformity
And the result can be easily foretold

EVERY deceng man who heard
Houk, Friday night, was Disguised
with his coarse abuse of the Meth
adist Churc b. The attempt to show
that large and influential branch OF
the Christian church has been dab
bling in party politics is mean, and
could proceed only from a mean
source. 1t is part OF the duty of
all Christian churches to discourage
and denounce vice in high places,
and we suspect that the adoption of
temperance resolution in some con
ference has impressed Houk with
the belief that the church is making
war upon him.
