No Subterfuges
(Tlic Ta'rtot, Hnrrlsniirg, Feb. IMth, 1HU,
JWIlurliU)
The stupendous anil unlawful rail
road "deal" can only be properly and
effectually assailed by the State author
ities and in the name of the State.
It is a mockery and false pretense
to say that a piivate litigant should in
stitute legal proceedings against the
"combine." A private person would
not have the legal status, the wealth,
nor the legal facilities for making an
efficient contest. The State has a stand
ing and priority in her tribunals that
the citizen has not. Besides, the issue
should not be cmbarassed nor obscured
by the injection of any private interests
in the controversy.
The State may well say and ought
to say that it has no concern with the
conflicting interests, ambitions or riv
alries of corporations, syndicates,' or
individuals. Its concern ought only
to be to uphold the laws, enforce the
Constitution, protect the rights of all
the people, and to compel the corpoi
ations that hold the franchises of the
Commonwealth to obey and conform
to its fundamental law.
There need be and should be no
subterfuges nor false pretenses in the
matter. If the State authorities do
not act, nobody else can act efficiently
and the monopoly will be given immu
nity There can be no shifting of re
sponsibility. - The executive authori
ties, as all the world can see, are either
with the Constitution or with the mon
opoly. There is no middle ground and
the people will not be deceived.-

JACK A! J
There are various
i accounts as to how
the man got into the moon. A com
mon one with us is that he was banished
foi having been detected by Moses in
the act of gathering sticks on the Sab
bath. In German legend he commit
ted the same offence, and was given
the alternative of being scorched in
the sun or frozen in the moon. In Ice
landic myth the man becomes the two
children fami'iarly known as Jack and
Jill, who were kidnapped by the moon.
There we see them stand with bucket
or pole across their shoulders, falling
away, one after the other, as the moon
wanes. And so it is that
"Jack fell down and broke his crown,
, And Jill came tumbling after."
Now, just as sure as the moon wanes,
just so sure does disease wane under
the influence of S. S. S. The differ
ence being, however, that Jack and
Jill never go up the hill any more in
the latter case, the eradication of dis
ease by this medicine being complete
and permanent.

r Twisting the Lion's Tail ...
From Harper's Weekly . i ' .5 . ,
It is a cheap bid for an Irish' cheer
to twist the tail of the English 1'on,
and when domestic politics darken, it
is an old trick to cry havoc against
England. But, as Goldwin South
showed us during the war, and still re
minds us from time to time, there are
two Englands, and one of them was
with us in the most threatening days
or the great struggle, and is with us
still. The London Clubs and drawing
rooms and society were hostile in feel
ing, but the workmen even the cotton-factory
operatives and the great
republican sentiment were ': friendly.
The vulgar appeal to the old prejudice
a prejudice which began with the
Revolution, was confirmed by the war
of 18 1 2, and renewed by the civil war
is one which intelligent and patriot
ic Englishmen as well as Americans
will carefully discountenance. v Amer
icans who feel that the late British
newspaper outbreak about the Chilian
affair was wholly uncalled-for must re
member that English, like American
newspapers have an instinct for a sen
sation, and the same willingness to stir
the passions of a mob. It will, more
over occur to them that our tone in
speaking of English institutions and
society and manners and customs is
not soothing to English pride.
Consumption Cured.
An old physician, retired from prac
tice, having had placed in his hands by
an East India missionary the formula
of a simple vegetable remedy for the
speedy and permanent cure of Con
sumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma
and all throat and Lung Affections, al
so a positive and radical cure for Ner
vous Debility and all Nervous Com
plaints, after having tested its wonder-
luj curative powers in thousands of
cases, has felt it his duty to make it
known to his suffering fellows. Actu
ated by this motive and a desire to re
lieve human suffering, I will send
free of charge to all who desire, this
recipe, in German, French or English,

The London Poor-
SOME STARTLING STATISTICS.
M"I7,I'mf'c "I' klnson, In llnrpor's Bazar.
The latest statistics tells us that out
of London's four to five millions of
people, more than three hundred thous
and earn less than three shillings a
lay per family. Between forty and
forty five thousand ch:ldr;n in the
Board Schools alone go to school hun
gry every morning, and rarely know at
any time what it is to have sufficient
food.
They tell us also that one week's in
come of the owners of London's ground,
the value of which increases at the rate
of four millions annually, would pro
vide a dinner every day inthe year for
each one of the forty thousand ill-fed
children, and that London's poor could
be decently housed on the unearned
increment of a year.'
Facts like these, pictures like this
one before us, naturally make us ques
tion whether the time is not ripe for
the favored and happy to stop and
"consider" the problem of the poor.
The same pitiless statistician, who
goes on building a pyramid of proof
by piling convincing fact on fact, states
that Ixmdon has over thirty thousand
people who have no home and no
shelter but that afforded by the four
penny Dors House and the Casual

The Passenger Department of The
Reading Railroad, announces that on
and after March 1st, clerical tickets
will be cold to ministers of the gospel
at half rates, upon presentation of
"clerical orders." These latter can be
obtained by clergymen, not engaged in
other paying occupations, upon appli
cation in writing to the ticket agent at
the station nearest their homes.
In extending this recognition to a
class of gentlemen whose beneficient
labors do not usually meet with ade
quate recompense, the Reading Rail
road furnishes another evidence of the
liberal policy which characterizes its
management.
Deafness Can't be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional re
medies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have a rumb
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con
dition of the mucous.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking
Hall's Catarrh Cure". ' Send for cir

Our lady friends who wish to be
properly and fashionably dressed would
do well to glance over the Fashion
Letter in " La Mode de Paris," "Al
bum des Modes "or " La Mode," the
favorite fashion journals. 'This letter
is one cf the best on the subject with
which it deals, explaining particularly
the styles prevailing or coming in

ronize these journals, which are not
only reliable, but are now considered
the Standards of Fashion wherever
they . are . known. The Practical

Drafting Machine, which has proved
such a boon to thousands of dress
makers, and has made the cutting and
perfect fitting of ladies' garments an
easy task to all. " La 1 Mode" is a

tNCLB LIPH'I PHILOSOPHY.
A ' Old Han Whs Was Wr
'Worried Afcoat Anything.
Eliplialet Duncan, or "Uncle Liph," n
lie wail familiarly called by his relatives
and frienda, poemmed what he trmil a
"philoeophixin' mind," which hUhmI him
in good stead on many occiiHiotix, miya
Youth'i Companion.
"What's the wnHe o' worritin' orcr
6tliinga that 'y' linripeneij?" hp yd to
oy. ujpnt view Vin over careful an'
you'll alius find they've got a nidi) you
kin dwell on an' take some comfort
imt'n it."
He had his share of discomfort and
tiinla, but he waa a "well to do" man,
and somo of his less fortunate neighbors
Mid that "if they were n forehanded as
Uncle Liph, 'twould come easier to bear
up under things."
He had lived in ono house ever since
liis marriage, when a very young man,
but when lie was about 60 yenre old the
old house was getting so dilapidated Unit
ho had a new one built on a lot of land
which commanded a better view of the
hills. Ife also built a new barn, which
was well stored with hay and grain.
Much flew furniture was bought, and
Undo Liph aud his wife, with their 0110
unmarried dnughW, were to move over
to the "new place" in October. '
Tho last of September the Duncan
family, together with many frieuds,
went to tho county fair, which was held
eight or nine miles away.
Late in the afternoon a boy arrived at
the fair and announced to Uncle Liph
with horrified gaops that his new barn
had caught fire, nobody know how, and
the only neighbor who had stayed at
homo had been making fruitless attempts
to put out the flames.
When tho Duncan family arrived at
tho site of what was to liavo beeu their
new home in a week or two the barn had
beeu entirely destroyed and the houso
was rapidly burning.
The next morning a farmer driving
elowly mst the scene of the conflagration
expied Uncle Liph seated on the stone
wall, in a ruminating attitude. He
turned around as he heard the sound of
wheels, and said slowly, Tinviewiu'my
ruins, ye seel"
"Well," said his friend, with some
energy, "I'm bound to sny, Uncle Liph,
cf I was iu your shoes, I sh'd find it cou
Kidiluhle of a stump to philosophize over
this mess. "
"Ye-es," drawled tho afflicted Elipha
let, "'tis more difficult 'n usu'l, but," ho
nddod, brightening a little, "it's all fer
the bent, in course; an' then, jest see
w hat a complete job 'tis; there ain't any
thin' left wuth spc.ikln' of except ashes;
an' yo know I alius was a great' hand t'
like things finished up, without any
Ehilly shallyin' or half way work. "
Tha Grotto of (tmutii,
Within a few years the Spanish gov
ernment has placed a commemorative
tablet at the entrance of the grotto where
Cervantes, the author of "Don Quixote"
rind his companions in slavery hid them
selves. It is on tho side of the hill of
Hainrua, about three miles south of Al
giers, in a picturcuque situation and sur
rounded by an impeuetralile thicket. ..
' Cervautes was tukun prisoner in 1575
by Barbary corsairs, and fell into the
bands of the renegade Albanian, Deli
MamL Cervantes and his companions
escaped from Deli Mami, but could not
escape from the country. A brother of
Cervantes was ransomed in 1377, and
promised the captives to send a frigate
from Valencia or the - Balearic Isles,
which should touch at a point of the
Shore agreed upon, and rescue them by
force or strategy.
j The place where they took refuge was
nar the seashore. A gardener named
Juan, under the direction of Cervantes,
secretly cut out a cave, in which the 15
Christian prisoners hid themselves. Juan
watched the neighborhood and allowed
no one to approach the cavern, and an
other slave brought food to the captives,
who dared leave their hidiug place only
at night. '. - -
. After eight days, during which Cer
vantes watched theses, he saw the frigate
which had come to rescue them. - That
eveniog the frigate approached the land,
but flnheruien gave the alarm, and so
many people assembled that the captain
was obliged to go to sea again. - He made
a second attempt a little later, but unfor
tunately was captured. " '
' Tho day after the frigate was taken the
captives were betrayed. Cervantes wo
scut to the convict prison, and a little
luter, just as he was about to be sent to
Constantinople, where the possibility of
rescue would be lost forover, he was ran
somed. ' '
Postage Stamps.
; One of Vienna's recent acquisitions is
n postage stamp museum. In one room
is shown chronologically alt stamps of
which specimens exist from 1840 to 1601.
Among the postal curiosities shown are
balloon letters, pigeon post and sub
marine post letters, as they wore sent
during the siege of Paris in 1870. A col
lection of forged stamps is also interesting.
Curious objects are letters of tho Au
thropophngi in the Dutch Indias, pieces
of wood covered with hieroglyphics, and
post cards which have made tho tour of
tho world. For one of theso with a
penny stamp, which took 119 days to re
turn to its starting point, an offer of 1 ,000
florins has been made. The finest object
in the collection is believed to be a Dun
dee stamp worth $2,500, and a Cape of
Good Hope stamp valued at $500.
Itruost Not a Orlglual Stat.
It is difficult for the average news
paper reader to rid himsolf of the notion
that Vermont was one of tho original 13
States. The Green Mountain hoys dis
tinguished themselves during the war for
independence, but their locality did not
lutve a distinct political existence until
after the close of that struggle. What is
now called Vermout was claimed by
both New Hampshire and New York in
those days, and it was not advanced to
the dignity of Statehood until 1781, 10
years after tho surrender of Cornwallis at
Yorktowu and two years after the organ
ization of the Government under tho
constitution. It is the 14th star of thv
National galaxy.
