BUFFALO, Aug. IS. - Vice President
Webb of the Central road last even
ing focused the situation, from
the etandpoint of his road, thus "Wo
intend to run our road and move all trains
as usunl. There will DO no Pinkertons elm
ploycd We shall attend strictly TO bust
ness. and we shall look to the State of New
York to do the same, and protect our men
from assault. This cannot be done with a
few miliatiamen, nor thousand militia
mon. We have run the Now York Central
as non-unon road for two years and
we like it. Our mon are higher paid than
those of any road, and IRE well satisfied. We,
on the other hand, have been spared the
constant firing OF committeeman aud griev
ances at US, which was almost continual
when the union was trying to hel US in the
road.
"The situation resolves itself into this.
We can run this road now. this minute,
with the men we have at our disposal, il we
can guarantee them sure protection in the
discharge of their duties. The State Of New
York must do that at once. We ere in no
trouble, whatever, for men. All we want
is soldiers to prevent the men being killed
or in .urcd ct their posts.

father there were two rival black
smiths living across the road from
each other. Each kept tally Of the
number and condition of the others
patrons. 1t CHANGED one day that
Frederick William l., who was very
fond of going about the country
disguised to feel the pulse of the
people, rode up to one of the black
smiths to have his horses shoe
frightened
The daughter of the blacksmith
opposite, seeing the exceedingly
plain little parsonage on horseback,
considered him beneath her envy,
and to show her contempt for him,
made horrible face, thrusting her
tongue as far as she could. Unfor-
tunately, for what was to be shown to
future generations, the damsel was
no longer in the springtime of
youth. That day the king called
together the woodcarvers Of Berlin
and offered a premium for the most
hideous fury's head and bust, giving
a few necessary points suggestive
of the farrier lass.
A few days later the blacksmith's
daughter thought they had eternal
ly and totally eclipsed their neigh
Dor, for the kings state chariot
drove up and stopped at her fathers
door; but what was her horror when
she beheld the same plain little per-
son who had stopped at the rivals
but few days before, and behind
him a man bearing a fury's head,
showing pitilessly the ravages of
time, the face horribly distorted and
the tongae, long and sharp, thrust
out so far that it seemed to be only
another one Of the many serpents
that writhed about the head.
The woman stood petrifed with
CONSERVATION; but the petri6cation
was soon changed to active fits when
she heard the little man, in whom
by that time she had recognized the
king, give orders that the fury should
be nailed over the door, to remain
there as long as wind and weather
should spare the wood. And there
it remains to this day, lesson to ri
walls and warning to petty spite.

What He Would Have.

Now, boys" said the teacher, II

Suppose / had a piece Of beefsteak
and cut it in two pieces, what would
those pieces be called?'
Halves" shouted the class.
Correct; and if cut each half
in two pieces?"
Quarters.
That's right; and if the quart
ers are each cut in half?"
"Eighths."
Quite so; and if those were each
chopped in two?"
"Sixteenths.'
Very good; and when the SIN
teenth were cut what were those
pieces called?'
Here there was some hesitation,
but in moment two boys said:
"Thirty-seconds."
Just right, just right said the
teacher; land now we will chop
those in half. What have we now?"
Silence followed this question,
while the boys shifted uneasiIy and
the audience held its breath.
''Do none of you know?" asked
the teacher. 'Come, I'm sure that
someone can tell me.
There was a moments pause and
then hand was raised and the
smallest boy in the class piped out;
"Please, sir, | think know"
swell, Johnnie, what?"

there was a burst of applause. 49,

SWINT0N'S SPECIFIC
For DYSPEPSIA.

This unfaing remedy for Dyspepsia of the most
chronic type, IL the result of many years medical
research OF one OF the most noted and eminent
medical scholars of the period, DIR. La Verne
Swinton. Patent and proprietary nostrums have
had no more bitter opponent than this most emf
nent physician, for the simple reason that the
same dose IS invariably prescribed to the sufferer,
no matter what the temperament of the patient,
and no matter what the peculiarities of the dis
ease, and this, too, in the face of the claims that
such remedies will cure majority of known dis
eases.
DIR. Swinton realized fully TO what extent Dys-
pepsa, whether mild or chronic by impoverishing
and poisoning the blood, became the progenitor OF
numerous diseases, and therefore sought dligent-
ly for years to discover its true specific. In this
he successful, but in prescribing his wonderful
discovery, he never overlooked the great medical
truth that the symptoms in each case. tho temper
amental differences, and even the habits and occu-
patton of the sufferer, required not only differ
cnce in the prescription of his remedy but also de-
manded supplemental treatment and dietary direc-
tions, varying widely in different cases. THE
SWINTON MEDICAL co. send in connection
with this celebrated Specific for Dyspepsia, COM
plete treatise by the Doctor, which gives explicit
directions TO the sufferer, so that he may not only
intclligenty the remedy but also properly reg
ulate the dict, and properly self-admnster the
supplemental prescriptions suited TO the case.
This is Medical treatment and not
quackery.
Do not be robbed of your money and your hopes
for restored health by alleged panaceas, which
while comparatively harmless will cure nothing.
SWINTON'S SPECIFIC is sold by all druggists
in this territory, before placing IL on sale with
your leading pharmacists and will send single
packages to any address upon receipt of so cents.
Each package contains the medical treatise of DIR,
SwiDton, giving dietary directions and supple
mental prescriptions. Address,

They come In night and silence
Each chill, reproschful wrath
When hope is faint and tagging,
And blight has dropped on faith.

To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late.
