ago Mr.. Frisch received from his broth

eggs that were joined together. A note

; they were peacock eggs, and great
curiosity on account of their strange
form. Nhw, Mr.. Frisch has friend in
West Philadelphia who is poultry
farmer, and the idea struck him to have
the eggs Matched in an incubator. In
the course Of month the shells fell
apart, and instead of two separate
birds stepping out, the pair came forth
joined together by thick bond Of
what appeared to be gristle. By dint
Of extreme care and careful feeding tho
strange pair were nursed through
babyhood, and are now beginning to
get pin feathers Of various colors.
Their odd appearance excites no end
Of curiosity, and they are interesting
for another reason Jack, the right
hand bird, is very fond Of Mr.. Frisch,
while Ned, the other. shows an extreme
aversion to his master. When Mr..
Frisch returns home from work he
gives shrill whistle, and then fight
ensues. Jack tugs toward his master,
while Ned pulls the opposite way.
Things are only settled by one or the
other being whipped, when the victor
follows his inclination, dragging the
vanquished bird with him.

lore, those who are not their agents
and who would not submit to their tyr
ranous spOliation should strenously
oppose the allied combination of gold
and monopoly.
The only hope of the enemy is to d.
vide US. Therefore let US be more uni
ted and harmonious than ever, and
further let US organize without delay
vigorous campaign in every State
and Congressional district, county and
and precinct.
There are but two sides to this
mighty and pOrtentOus conflict. All
of those of whatever party who favor
the conspiracy of gold and monopoly,
who favor industrial slavery, wide
spread poverty, and national! destruc-
ton, should be on one side; and all of
those of whatever party who oppose
this deadly design, who love truth and
| right, who love their country, who
love their homes and firesides, and who
believe in the sacred principles de-
clared by Jefferson and reasserted by
Jackson and Lincoln, should be on the
other side. We stand solidIy on that
side. Then let us, maintaing at all
times party integrity, invite the har-
monious cooperation of all seeking
| the same end. The omnibus dangers
threatening the institutions of the Re-
public make this the highest duty. The
line of battle is clearly drawn We
cannot avoid the conflict if we would.
Therefore let US appeal to all citizens
and to all organizations and parties
that oppose this conspiracy-that op.
pose government of the trusts, by
the trusts, and for the trusts, that Op-
pose and will not submit to the despO-
tism of sOrdid wealth-to come to the
rescue. Patriotism and manhood are
not dead. A large part of the Ameri-

comprehend the dangers, and are
ready and anxious to fight this system
to the bitter death. The spirit of &c
is abroad in the land and the sons vi

patriotic call to fight a common battle

There is more Catarrah in this
section of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For u great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven
catarrah to be a constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

Conspiracy to Tax knowledge.

New York World.
The principal paper manufact-
urers of the country have formed
themselves into q trust, with $780,

There are seventeen mills in the
trust, and they propose to drive all

that they may charge what price they
please for the paper on which news

This is a conspiracy to tax knowl-
