PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight IN the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighbor-
ing organs. At times. symptoms of
indigestion are present, as fatuency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture, like perspiration, producing
very disagreable itching. particularly
at night after getting warm in bed, is
a very common attendant. Internal,
external and itching Piles yield at
once to the application Of DR.. Bosan-
kos Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts affected, absorbing the
Tumors, alleaving- the intense itching,
and effecting permanent cure where
all other remedies have failed. Do
not delay until the drain on the system
produces permanent disability, but try
it and be cured. Price, so cents. Ask
your druggist for it, and when you can
not obtain it of him, we will send it,
prepaid, on receipt of price. Address

There is no compromise between in

greatly exercised over the frightful
extravaganza of the German govern
ment in paying $5,474,000 in army
pensions the current year. In the
German-French war the armies of
Germany reached 1.125,000 men.
The total enlistmsnts of the union
army in the war of the rebellion fell
short of that number by 1875 900 men.

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS IN 1883.
From the new edition of Messrs, Geo.
2. Rowell & Co.'S American Newspa-
per Directory, which is now in press,
it appears that the newspapers and
periodicals of all kinds issued in the
United States and Territories now
reach the imposing total of II, 196
This is an increase of 5S5 in twelve
months. Taking the States one by
one, the newspaper growth in some is
very considerable. The present total
in New York State, for instance, is L.
399-a gain of eighty the past year.
The increase in Pennsylvania is As,
the existing number being 943. Ne
braska's total grew from IT'S to 201,
and Illinois from 800 to 9O4. A year
ago Massachusetts had 420 papers
now the number is 438. In Texas
the new papers outnumbered the
suspensions by s, and Ohio now has
1873 papers instead of 692. The most
remarkable change has occurred in the
Territories. in which the daily papers
have grown from 43 to 63. and the
weeklies from 100 to 243-Dakota
being the chief area of activity. The
number of menthlies throughout the
country grew from 976 to l, O34, while
the dailies leaped from 996 to 1862
The figures given above are exclusive
of Canada, which possesses total of
SOC. 1t is interesting to note that
the newly settled regions of the Can
adam North West are productive of
newspapers as we'll as of wheat, for
the number of journals issued in Man
itoba was nearly doubled during the
year.

The HLgher Lnw OF Judge Lyneh.

Those who are getting up statistics
of crime against the South should
take notice that there is great SINH
larity in human nature all over the
civilized world. Williams committed an
outrage in Tel.ersburg, ind day before
yesterday. The citizens caught him
in the woods and hung him near the
scene of, his crime 10 the most APP
proved southern fashion, CT rather, we
should say, in fashion not generally
approved in the South, but occasion
ally rendered absolutely indispensable.
If four millions Of emancipated slaves,
most of them ignorant and full Of ami
NAL instincts, could have been precip-
itated upon any eight or nine States
north of the Ohio just after the war
and given the encouragement and the
license they had in the South,
the mob law record would have
far exceeded that Of this section in
the subsequent years. There are &C.
casions for mob law when postpone
ment would be mockery Of justice,
and of human endurance. II the
white population of the South could
have been lifted up in 1865 and ex
changed for like number Of white
people selected at random in the
Northern States, it is very questiona-
Bile whether there would have been an
increase of violence in the North or
decrease at the South We are human
beings with common impulses after
all. and with traditions and ideas that
are not so far apart as some people
would have the world believe. So
ciety undertakes to protect itself the
world over. Law is the highest ex-
preston Of the State or community.
All are supposed to abide by
it. But when the methods
of execution are tlrdy or
defective, aud crimes of highly az
gravating character are committed, the
people near at hand and familiar with
the circumstances beyond doubt may
inaict summary punishment without
being liable to censure or self re
preach. The people are the source
of power and oflaS, yet il is only in
extreme cases that they are justified
in setting aside or anticipating the
regular and formal processes that
have come down from the ages. Any
thing like mob law is to be depre.
Gated and repressed, yet there are
outbuIsts of popular indignation and
justice that no constabulary can re-
strain-and this is oftener the case
in new or thinly settled communities
than in the older and more densely
populated States
