A CROSS-EYED EXAMINATION has 10 terrors for Mrs. Jenks. That is the rea son she was not afraid of Butler. WILY are the Democrats so much afraid of the army of the United States ? They were never afraid of the rebel army. OWING to the extreme length of the article from onr correspondent "Justice" we are compelled to let it go over until next week. THE Potter committee has resumed. We are not in favor of that kind of "resump tion," unless there is to be a large "con traction" of the testimony. SEVERAL of the counties in this dis trict, besides our own, are anxious for Senator Fisher's nomination for Congress. He can walk over the course without trou ble. OH ! that the members of Congress who voted for the "army bill" could be caught on the Western plains ! Let us have some cases of Sioux-icide or another Bannack burn. THE tramps in some of the western States are destroying agricultural imple ments, and writing threatening letters against the farmers using such such im plements. MRS. JENKS, the witness, has been "dis charged." She went off with a bang. The explosion scared Butler. If they would only discharge the Potter committee now, it would make a report. COL. QUAY, Chairman Republican State Committee, has gone for a ten days' trip to the sun set side of the Alleghenies, and Secretary Rogers is looking after a new oil well on his farm in McKean county. ANY injury that Congress fails to inflict on the country in the passage of bills, the clerks can accomplish in transcribing them. What skillful legislators the clerks are ! Can't we dispense with Congressmen and let the clerks do it all after this ? THE Dill men threaten to never attend another centennial celebration at Wyo ming. It looked too mach like a Hoyt demonstration. That then you can't re press the people during a political cam paign. They will express their preferences. THE occasional "hotel grumbler" is not a rarity, bat there are few hotels that give the almost universal satisfaction both in rates and accommodation that characterises the Grand Central Hotel, New York. It is concededly the best kept and most popular among all its rivals. The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph demands that the Southern people shall be paid for the emancipated slaves. Next they will probably want pay at hotel rates, for the entertainment of Union prisoners during the war.—Floating hem. And when they send in the bills they will include the funeral expenses of the Union soldiers they starved to death.— They are only waiting for Congress to is. sue an order on the paymaster, in other words, to make an appropriation. THE number of Congressmen who voted at the last session of Congress . in favor of the payment of rebel claims out of the United States Treasury was sixty-one. It will require but a slight increase of this number to make a majority of the Demo cratic members and to give them control of the matter in the Democratic caucus . And then, if the Democrats are still in power in Congress, look out for a bill that would very suddenly and largely increase the national debt. MRS. ELIZA HEBER is another Louisi ana woman. During the war, she owned forty acres of land, one-half of which was under water. Two thousand infantry were encamped about two weeks in the vicinity. Now Mrs. Heber alleges that these troops used 800 barrels of her corn, 1500 cords of wood, 30 hogs, 20 head of cattle, and other property, which she estimates at $47,975. We wonder what the land was worth. Hadn't the Government better buy the whole South than to pay the "war claims ?" Tu Greenbackers of Cambria held their county convention at Ebensburg on Monday last, and nominated a full county ticket, as follows : Assembly, John W. Leigh and David Tobin ; register and recorder, W. W. Saapp ; treasurer, George M. Hay ; commissioners, Charles Weak. land and Samuel Hoffman; director of the poor, Andrew Bargoon ; surveyor, W. T. McConnell ; auditors Lewis Rogers and J. H. Dimond. Congressional conferees were appointed without instructions. The con vention was a tolerably full one, only nine districts failing to have representatives. A LABOR LEADER'S OPINION OF MASON. Editor. Indications of the Disintergation of the National Party. It is well known, and we. think will not be denied by the Nationalists themselves, that there are two elements in their party, antagonistic and difficult to harmonize, the labor-reformers and greenbackers. In our own county, it will be remembered that the movement was commenced by the workingmen, who called meetings for the advancement of their own interests, and that after they had met a few times they were joined by their present local leaders, and were led into financial folly, not in pursuance of their original intention, but, perhaps, contrary to it. We have re peatedly said that Mr. Mason is not such a candidate as laboring men could con sistently support, but we did not anticipate such a sudden and complete breaking away from him as now seems probable.— Judge Stanton, of Luzerne county, was elected to the bench last year by a majority of more than 3,000 votes over both the Republican and Democratic candidates by the labor party, and it would seem that he ought to adhere to the Nationalists if there is any concurrence of sentiment be tween him and them. But he is now as anxious to divide the National party as he was a year ago to defeat his own. An in terview with him upon political matters has recently been published in the Scran ton Sunday Free Press, in which he freely gives his views in regard to Mr. Mason. He warmly advocates the election of Mr. Dill, a fact which has no other political significance than that he desires to lead a large portion of the Nationalists into the Democratic party. We would ask the careful perusal and consideration of some things he says, and of an editorial from the Free Press, the organ of the labor men of Luzerne county. It is well for them to be warned as to whither they are drift ing. We do not propose to give here all that Judge Stanton said, but only a few extracts. In regard to the result of the coming election he said : The indications point to the election of either Dill or Hoyt. I see no possible chance for Mason. Be is simply a money issue can didate. He was put in the convention as Frank Hughes' man, and nominated against the labor delegates protest, and with the dis tinct understanding that he would not favor the political views of the laboring masses ; for the platform presented by the element in the contention representing the pure Labor party was set aside for a platform expressing the views of Hughes and Dewees. For such a candidate there is no abiding or middle place. When asked whether he approved of the laboring men making nominations for the Legislature, he replied : Most certainly I do. They should nominate here in Luzerne and wherever they have a chance to win, candidates for the Senate and House of Representatives. The Labor party is the only necessary third party in this State its policy is as distinct from the men who call themselves Greenbackers as it is from the policy of the Democratic party. His views of the Greenback leaders and their policy is as follows : I am opposed to the policy of the II ughes- Dewees school of politicians, who say if we do not win this year we will next. It is this namby-pamby policy that has brought labor to its present pitiable condition, and that will forever keep the laboring man on starvation wages. lam for practical and immediate relief; and such relief will not arise by throw ing away our votes on Mason. He presents Mr. Mason in rather an un favorable light to the opponents of corpo rations : It is a fact that a certain element of the Democracy of Luzerne, composed of what I call the Know-Nothing Democracy, is opposed to Senator Dill on account of his liberal, non sectarian views and tendencies, and they will vote either for Mason or Hoyt. These Demo crats who so propose to vote are mostly men of large capital, and are connected with the banks and coal and railway corporations.— Mason is not seriously objectionable to them, for it is an allegation not denied, and, as I am positively assured, undeniable, that he has figured throughout most of his professional life as a corporation attorney. Frank Hughes, to whom Mason is altogether indebted for his nomination, is one of Frank Gowen's most trusted counsellors. These extracts are sufficient to introduce the editorial we have mentioned, which is the strongest arraingment of the National candidate by a labor organ that could be possibly made : The interview with Judge Stanton, which we publish elsewhere to day, contains matter worthy the consideration of the readers of the Ira Press. The Judge has been for many years in the front rank of labor in its conflict with the monopolies of Pennsylvania, and if there be one other man whom the corporations and shoddy fear and hate more than they do him, we have yet to learn his name. With him at the head of their ticket last fall, the labor men of Luzerne county achieved a victory which stunned monopolists throughout the land. That was a fight fairly won by the La bor party without the co-operation or assist. ance of the Hughes-Dewees Greenback-corpo ration clique which now proposes to steal the Luzerne county laboring men's thunder for their own aggrandizement. We do not believe that Hughes is friendly to labor, while we know that Judge Stanton is. Hughes is, as the Judge says, Franklin B. Gowen's trusted counsellor, and as the attorney of Gowen's giant corpora tion, how, we ask, can he be other than hos tile to labor ? Hughes belongs to Gowen, Ma son is the candidate of Hughes, and only on the principle that "Birds of a feather, flock to gether," can their affiliation be explained. What Hughes could not obtain for himself, be has secured for one who will be his tool, and through this tool be hopes to ride into the United States Senate. Mason and Hughes are animated by selfish motives, and this the la boring classes will learn to their cost. The laboring men of Pennsylvania would smile with great loudness if they should see a lech erous man presented as the representative of morality, a drunken man as the representative of sobriety, a corrupt man as the representa tive of honesty, the Devil as the representative of innocence or a king as the representative of democracy, yet they apparently regard with serious consideration what, in our eyes, is equally, if not more, absurd than any of the instances mentioned, to wit : The nomination of a corporation attorney as their candidate for Governor. If this nomination had happen s - ed a few years ago, when prosperity sat en throned in the houses of labor, it might be passed over as a political accident, but that it should happen at a moment when labor is most jealous and watchful of her rights, seems inexplicable. A leopard can sooner change his spots than Mason should change his pro. corporation sentiments, and they who dream that if lifted by labor votes to the executive chair, he will change his sentiments, have yet to learn by bitter experience how callous this species of humanity is. The laboring men of Pennsylvania are not bound blindly to vote for a man because he is on their ticket, es pecially when he is placed there by the basest political intrigue and manipulation. They, of all classes, should realize by this time that in these degenerate days men mean everything and . platforms nothing. "Principles, not men," is now a tradition of the past. The Devil with the ten commandments emblazoned on his banner, would be, notwithstanding, the Devil. Yet let it not be inferred from our similitudes that we wish it to be understood that Mr. Ma son is the Devil, others beside the Devil are entitled to, and frequently get their dues. Mr. Mason, if elected, will indisputably be one of our most "Christian statesmen." He is one of the elect In the church, which numbers among its members such Christian lights as Minister Logan and F. S. Pauli,—and it is said he is somewhat conceited on his church standing. Now, while we do not take much stock in these "Christian statesmen,"—be. cause we can never class them otherwise than as "wolves in sheep's clothing,"—we do not wish others to imbibe our prejudices. In the absence of sympathy with labor, Mr. Mason's religious susceptibilities will come into play for somebol,y's benefit. It is consoling to think that in the event of Mr. Mason's elec tion, although he will have little bowels of compassion for the hard-fisted toiler, that the freedom of the executive mansion will be guar anteed to the Scranton Battalion and other Christian organizations. It is consoling for the laboring men to reflect that as Governor, Mr. Mason will in the zeal of religious sym pathy, be a grand auxiliary for Pauli when he goes to Ilarrisloirg to have Judge Stanton impeached for being so imprudent as to sen tence him to prison for the trifling crime of forgery. We believe in the rause of labor, and we will aid the laboring men all we can in our humble way this fall to obtain the mastery, wherever success in the fight promises to be beneficial to themselves, but since the election of Mr. Mason would, in our judgment, be only a victory for one of the greatest enemies of labor, we will record our vote for plain, hon est, Andy Dill, who, without any pretentions, will do his whole duty by all classes, poor and rich alike. We would ask the working men of Huntingdon county whether they will sup- P portsuch a man as Mr. Mason is shown to be by their own party friends. If not, will they allow themselves to be transfer red bodily to the Democratic party ? These are the only questions they have to con• sider in this campaign. IT is said that through the courtesy of the railroad companies, the delegates to the Greenback State Convention which nominated Mason, traveled to Philadelphia on free tickets, and that the Chairman of the National State Committee expects to have a large number of passes to use in the campaign. And this is the anti•cor poration party ! They ought to be too independent to travel on a railroad at all, and especially to place themselves under obligations to the companies by accepting their favors. How can a red•hot Nation alist, or even an imported communist, cry out against the monopolies while enjoying a free ride in a monopolist's car, over a monopolist's railroad, and drawn by a mo nopolist's locomotive ? It may have been the accommodating spirit of the corpora tions that made Mason the candidate. They certainly would not have done so much to secure the nomieation of one opposed to them. Truly, passes are the great danger that is besetting this political Sansom in its very youth. When we have obtained the upper hand we propose to undo what has been done by the Radicals since 1861, so far as lies in our power. We propose to tear the negro amend ments out of the Constitution. We propose to restore the Planter Republic of our fathers in all . its purity and simplicity.—Missiazippi l'aper. "The upper-hand." Well, let us see. Can they undo their own bad work—Fort Sumter, and Andersonville, and Libby, and Fort Pillow ? We will be as glad as they, if they can. Will they be permitted to "undo" Antietam, and Fort Donelson, and Gettysburg, and Vicksburg, and Ap pomattox ? Impossible. Can they "tear" the emancipation proclamation from his tory, the amendment prohibiting payment for the emancipated slaves from the Con stitution ? Can they "restore" slavery, or the purity of the negro blood ? In their undoing, and tearing, and restoring, they will find impediments and difficulties, inter posed by which is the great Republican party. SOME very indiscreet Greenbacker or Democrat, in this place, writes a letter to the Altoona Globe, in which he tells some secrets not intended to be known outside the inner circle, and fur which Mr. Speer will be likely to call his political skirmish ers to account. The writer is desirous that the Democrats "give the Nationals a little help to bring about the defeat of the Republicans," and Mr. Speer is desirous that the Nationals "give the Democracy a little help" fur the same purpose. Mr. Speer can "set his trap," but we can as sure the writer of the Globe letter that Republicans will not "readily fall into it," for they "know" she trapper "thoroughly," and will tread carefully where they see immense piles of coffee grounds. AFTER a trial of twenty days duration, in the Camden, N. J., courts, Benjamin Hunter was convicted of the murder of James M. Armstrong. The murderer and his victim were both Philadelphians, and under pretence of assisting him, to collect some money due him from parties in Camden, he enticed Armstrong over the river and murdered him. Hunter had insurance policies to the amount of $26,000 on the life of his victim. HON. M. S. QUAY, Chairman of the Republican State Committee, is on a fly ing visit to the western part of the State• He will return in a few days, strengthen ed and recuperated for the fight before him. He is equal to the emergency, and will make it red hot for the coffee pot De mocracy before the ides of November. THE Grand Army of the Republic pro pose to hold an encampment at Gettysburg, commencing on the 20th inst. The tents, capable of holding one thousand persons, will be pitched on a vacant piece of ground just opposite the National Cemetery in that place. The encampment promises to be largely attended. THE Indian uprising in Oregon is crea ting the greatest consternation among the people, who are willing to volunteer for their own defence, but their cervices can not be accepted on account of the scarcity of arms and means. It is high time the Government would lay a heavy hand upon these red demons. THE Altoona Globe, after a suspension of a few days, has again made its appear ance, as dingy and dauby looking as it did before it got its new type. With new ma terial there is no excuse for a paper looking like it does ; some new printers would be an improvement. The Recording Angel probably took a holi day on the Fourth; the Potter committee did not meet.—Phila. Press. It may have given the Recording Angel a rest, but wasn't encouraging for the fire works business of another angel—the fal len one. IN 1873, the "war claim" of Mrs. Eliza Heber, of Louisiana, was $22,500. It is now $47,975. Nothing grows faster than a "war-claim." Slaves will be up to $5OOO each if we don't soon pay for them. RUMOR has it that Chairman Boring will call the Greenback county convention for the 30th inst. VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. TO THE WORKINGMEN OF HUNT INGDON COLNTY• EDITOR JOURNAL—Sir :—In using the term workingmen, it is not because of any special sig nificance we desire to attach to the name, but be cause it is used by others. In its restricted sense it means those who are employed at fixed wages, but in a more general way it includes everybody and is equivalent to the people; for there are but few, very few, who may be excluded from the work mg class. When the term is used it requires a great round of explanation to have our readers knew just whom we regard as workingmen; and our effort would be quite as intelligible if we had said the people, and stopped. Therefore, when we use the term, workingmen, we mean the people, unless to wake sense its re stricted construing is required. It may be pre sumption on our part to ask the people to consider the views we may present. But as we have noth ing to desire but the general prosperity of every one, knowing that whatever of selfishness we may possess will be fully gratified in obtaining all we deserve, when every other person is prosperous and happy we earnestly desire this, as your care ful readers well know who have not forgotten the spirit and doctrine of many of our former articles in your paper. We have advocated measures that would benefit the nation without the necessity of dividing men into classes, which, when once adopted will en dure because they would not violate any social law. The first point to be gained in the consideration of any subject is to clearly understand it. When fault is found with the result of any process the proper course to pursue is to inquire for the origin of the wrong, and when that is discovered the evil may readily be corrected. But instead of following this wise course, opin ions are smAtered far and wide, based on the most trivial conjectures, not one of which san be supported by the least shadow of evidence. Yet many people, aho have not the time or opportu nity to investigate for themselves, are carried away with those false notions. Those onty, who have tried it, know the labor required to delineate a single truth accurately; but few there are who will endure the labor, and, consequently, their teaching is mixed with error. We would have the workingmen happy, and most gladly will we as mist in bringing about such measures as will fully assure them such a condition. But when we see them following men, who can raise the torrents of passion, but can not stay the flood of destruction, it seems the duty of every good citizen, at least, to point to the danger that is approaching. We have a good government, yet the time never was when some of the people were not complain ing of hard times, bad government, high taxes, and all other imaginable ills. It is true there have been times, as now, when real distress was felt, and invariably the party out of power iaid the source of all the trouble upon the one in pow er; and ambitious men have never failed to seize these opportunities for the promotion of their own selfish schemes, by holding up false inducements to the public. Of this nation it is said that it is an "asylum for the oppressed of all nations," and it may be true, but if it is, those enjoying its benign in fluence should conform with its laws and institu tions, instead of which, they have sown the seeds of poison, and corrupted our people, many of whom are carried sway by the false doctrines pre sented. To-day our large cities, where these corrupting influences prevail and have a majority, are but little better than the cities over which the waves of the Dead Sea roll. Were it not for the moral character of the rural districts—the farmers —for whom Satan has no mischief, because they are never idle, the country would soon fall into the clutches of that much-abused individual. From these false doctrines the National party came, and now, as workingmen, you are asked to follow its advocates, under the disguise that they alone can relieve your distress. They present to the public very little of their true intent, hoping to gather power in this manner, and afterwards, by stealth, introduce their obnoxious innovations. If this party was what it appears to be on the sur face it would not deserve notice, for if it were to day in power, the good it proposes, and by the measures indicated, would never be felt. But when the veil is lifted a little, and we get a glimpse of the animal, with "seven heads and ten horns," we are led to inquire what manner of creature it is. There has never been a movement in this na tion that required such strict and continued watch ing. If the National party was really a workingman's party we should not raise our voice against it, but when we see men, who have never given a drop of sweat to labor, proclaiming loudly and lustily for the rights of labor, while the men with hardened fists and snnbrowned faces it in the background, we cannot accept the concern as in earnest. This party starts from the assumption that the distress of the people is altogether due to the bad policy of the government, and having for a long time been under the control of the Republican party, it, alone, is responsible for all the people endure. The assumptions being false, the remedy offered must fail. Indeed the whole train of allegations and propositions are based on the most flimsy opin ions, not one of which can be proven true by any respectable evidence. While we know, too well, the people are in distress, we say, without fear of successful contradiction, the Republican party is not responsible for it, nor aro the reasons gener ally given for the distress based on facts. We may say further, that parties have very lit tle to do with bringing on the business troubles that occasionally afflict us. Reasons, outside of parties, may be found for them. Indeed, it may be shown that the people themselves, and certain things over which they have no control, bring on the mischief. As we find this article will become too lengthy for one issue, we must defer its conclusion until another time, but before closing we wish to notice a couple of squibs that appeared in a recent issue of the Greenback Nationalist. It is true, the wail was not lengthy but exceedingly deep. One writer cries out "Read ! read ! read ! let ev ery greenbacker, every farmer, especially every workingman, read "Trite's" communication in the JOURNAL, remember the contumely it heaps on your class. Read it carefully, have your neigh bors read it, and let it do campaign service." Kerrect, sir. Let it be read and the truth of it discovered, and we assure you it will do campaign service, but not at your mill. Going on a little further we find the following, which seems to come from the same pen : "There are some greenback era in these parts who would be a disgrace to the Fejee Islands, on account of their innate ignorance and petty prejudices." Whew ! "slander"—"con tumely." Let's compare notes, Another gentle man, writing from the "Upper End," says some very naughty things, which shocked us serionajy. Ile tells the people we could not enter the Univer sal Brotherhood. We are at a loss to know how he learned this, but it is wonderful how some men do get information. Yet we think there is a mis take somewhere, for we have been a member of a very Universal Brotherhood for a long time. There seems to be a difference, however, in the one de scribed by this gentleman and the one we have been connected with. Whilso, he excludes some we admit everybody. Our order is very old, and broad in its views, and is based on a constitution and by-laws exceed ingly plain and simple. The first section of the first article, of our con stitution, is as follows : "Thou shalt have no ether God before me." The second is, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image," /Lc. The by-laws are of like character. The first is in these words, "whatsoever ye would that men do unto you do ye even so to them." Now, if this "Upper End" gentleman wishes to acquaint himself with the workings of our order, or desires to become a member, we shall be most happy to loan him the books containing the con stitution and by-laws, wherein everything pertain ing to it is clearly and completely explained. There is no difficulty in getting into our Lodge. Members do not have to go through a gangway, or air tunnel, nor go down a shaft, or stove-pipe, nor say, or do any funny things, but whenever the spirit moves them they enter the door and enter in. It is large enough to admit a locomotive. This gentleman says the Brotherhood is not political. Very well do we know this. Politics is too high, too noble a science to be found groping among woodchucks. We have called these societies po litical, (for which we beg pardon) not because they are political, but because they have intruded them selves where true polities alone, in its majesty, should be found. Again, this gentleman tells the people that our poor heart ached, when we saw over the door of his Lodge, the unchangeable fiat, "No professional men can enter here." This did start a pang of sorrow bard to be endured. To feel that we were shut out with Laplace, with Newton, and Leverrier, with Franklin, with Web ster, and Morse, was enough to make a stronger heart than ours "bust." Yet there is a little con solation in remembering that the hog never looks up to him who threshes down the acorns. With your permission, Mr. Editor, we will con clude our article at another time. TRITE. Death in the Whirlwind. SEVEN PERSONS KILLED AND TLIIRTEEN WOUNDED AT A PICNIC-LIST OF KILLED AND WOUNDED. PITTSBIMIGR, July s.—The Sunday school of the German Lutheran Church, of Sharpsburg, held their picnic yesterday on the Ross farm , three or four miles above Sharpsburg. The forenoon had been bright and brilliant, although somewhat sultry. By noon clouds had overspread the sky and a little later a smart shower fell. This was of short duration, and sun again broke forth bright and warm, so that the picknickers were content to remain on the ground. The clouds again gathered about half-past two o'clock, and by three o'clock the rain began to fall, and all on the grounds were driven to such shelter as could hastily be found. There was no pavillion or tent upon the ground, b.nd the means of shel ter were therefore extremely limited. The wagons present afforded an attractive place, and all that could got under them. Mr. Con rad Reithmiller, of Sharpsburg, had his cover ed grocer's wagon on the ground, and it was packed full, while as many others as could got underneath it. About three o'clock the wind blew terrifically, while the rain descend ed in torrents, mixed with hail stones fully the size of hulled walnuts. Suddenly a crash was heard and in quick succession the noble trees of the grove were leveled to the earth. The Reithmiller wagon, which was crowded to repletion inside, and had a number of per sons under it, stood beneath one of the largest trees in the grove, which yielded, and, splin tering and crashing, fell squarely upon the heavily laden wagon and crushed it to the earth. The crushing weight was soon removed. Beneath the tree, there lay, still in death, seven persons. Others crushed and bruised, but still alive, were also there. The list of the killed and injured is as follows : Killed—Mrs. Conrad Reithmiller, forty years old, Sbarpsburg; Mrs. Reithmiller's child, one year old ; William Prager, fifteen and Herman l'rager, eight years old, both sons of Mr. Peter Prager, President of the Sharpsburg and Etna Savings bank ; Ludwig Walz, eight years old, son of Rev Chas. Walz, pastor of the church at Sharpsburg; Sophia Shindleman, eighteen years old, Sbarpsburg; Mrs. Stoeptier, forty years old, Etna. Wounded—Five of Mr. Reithmiller's children one a young lady eighteen years old ; none fatally, but all seriously. Lizzie Crafts, eighteen years old ; seriously. Three children of Mr. Burgund, of Sharpsburg; one of these is fatally injured, and the two others have legs broken. John Sentz, twenty-two years old. Geo. Sentz, thirteen years old. Rev. Chas. Walz, pastor of the congregation. Mr. Walz is very seriously injured, and evidently badly hurt on the head, as he is out of his mind, and although unconscious, feels uo pain, laughing continually. Ile recogniz , :.s no one. Michael Schrumm, Sharpsburg. In addition to the killed and wounded, an eight•year old daughter of Mrs. Shroads, of Sharpsburg, is missing. It is possible that she was killed, and is lying under one of the fallen trees. Whenever and Wherever Diseases of a cholerate type prevail, or there is cause to apprehend a visit from them, the system should be toned, regulated and rein forced by a course of Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters. Perfect digestion and a regular . haleit of body are the best safeguards against such disorders. If promptly taken in billions colic, diarrhoea and cholera morbus, the disease is usually frustrated. In diarrhcea, cases, it is only necessary to restore the tone of the relax ed bowels, and this is one of the specific effects of this medicine. Wind on the stomach, heartburn, biliousness, nausea, headache and other symptoms of disturbance in the gastric and hepatic regions are also speedily relieved by this excellent remedy. As a family medi cine it is invaluable, since it promptly and completely remedies those ailments which are of most frequent occurrence. [julys-lm Natural Selection. Investigators of natural science have dem onstrated beyond controversy, that throughout the animal kingdom the "survival of the fittest" is the only law that vouchsafes thrift and perpetuity. Does not the same principle govern the commercial prosperity of man ? An inferior cannot supersede a superior arti cle. Illustrative of this principle are the family medicines of R. V. Pierce, M. D., of Buffalo, 9T. Y. By reason of superior merit, they have outrivaled all other medicines. Their sale in the United States alone exceeds one million dollars per annum, while the amount exported foots up to several hundred thousand more. No business could grow to such gigantic proportions and rest upon any other basis than that of merit. It is safe to say that no medicine or combination of medi cines yet discovered equals or can compare with Dr. Pierce's Golden Nledical Discovery, for the cure of coughs, colds, and all pulmon ary and blood affections. If the bowels be constipated and liver sluggish, his Pleasant Purgative Pellets will give prompt relief; while his Favorite Prescription will positively, perfectly, and permantly, care those weak nesses and "dragging down" sensations peculiar to females. In the People's Common Sense Medical Adviser, an illustrated work of nearly one thousand pages, the Doctor has fully discussed the principles that underlie health and sickness.
