Th Sun Cholera lOztar.
More than forty years ago, when It was
found that prevention for the Asiatic cholera
was easier than cure, he leaned dootots
of both hemispheres drew np a prescrip
tion, which was published (for working
people) in the New York Sua, and Uok tbe
name of "The Sun Cholera Mixture." Our
contemporary never lent its name to a bet
ter article. We have seen It In constant
use for nearly two score years, and found
It to be the best remedy for loseness of the
bowels ever yet devised. It is to be com
mended for . several reasons. It is not to
be mixed with liquor, and therefore will
not be used as an alocholio beverage. Its
ingredients are well-known among all the
common people, and it will have no preju
dice to combat, each of the materials is in
squat proportion to the others, and it may
therfore be compouuded without profess
ional skill; and as the dose Is so very small,
it may oe carried in a tiny phial in the
walstooat pocket, and be always at hand.
It is:
Tinot. opil.
Capsicl.
Rhel oo.
Menth pip.
Campho.
Mix the above in aqual parts, dose, ten
to thirty drops In plain terms, take
equal parts tinoture of opium, red pepper,
rheubarb, peppermint and camphor, and
mix them for use. In case of diarrhoea
take a dose of tea to twenty drops in three
or four teaspoonfula of water. No one
who has this by him and takes it in time
will ever have the cholera. We commend
it to our Western friends, and hope that
the receipt wilt be widely published.
Even when no cholera is anticipated it is
an excellent remedy for ordinary summer
complaint. Ex.
Tbe following we clip from the Ratf
man's Journal. On Monday morning
about 7 o'clock, a tall guant and villainous
looking speoimen of humanity passed
through town driving a large ox ahead of
him. He warned to sell it to landlord
Dougherty for sixty dollars, and In fun, Mr
D. told bin he would give forty dollars.
He had no sooner made the ofier than it
was accepted, but be passed (he fellow by,
and we next hear of him above town try
ing to sell the ox to F. M. Cardon for
twenty-five dollars It was evidently be
ginning to burn his fingers. Fred refused
to take the ox and at the same time in
formed the stranger that he supposed he
had stolen it. He drove on, A few min
utes later a man on horseback comes alonj
inquiring for a man driving an oz, and
overtakes the pair just accross the bridge,
two miles above town.
The driver of the ox proved to be one
Lorenxo Height, he having stolen it on
Sunday morning, from James Bennett,
who lives in Elk county, near L'.ttle Toby.
Lorenio was invited to retrace his footsteps
as far as the Justice's office, in this place,
but he refused to do so and his captor had
to get down and walk and allow Lorenio
to occupy the saddle.
He was given a hearing before Justice
Porter and handed over to his captor to be
taken to Elk county. . He remarked, "Well
all right: it you have a horse and buggy
hnudy." Just at that moment two fellows
stepped into the office, each having a rifle
on his shoulder, one of them remarking,
"I guess you will walk." Lorenzo cowed a
little at seeing these two pursuers and had
little more to say. Ho vaDctd peaceably to
the jail there to await tbe pleasute of his
guardian angels and on Tuesday morning
they started with him for Ridgway. They
didn't compel him to walk, however but
loaded him into a wajon.
Height has already served out two sen
tences in the penitentiary, having been
sent there by the courts of Elk county, we
believe, and is now on a fair way for a
third.
Mr. Bennett, the man from whom he
stole the ox, says that there is a whole
gang of these petty thieves out there, who
live by robbing spring houses, stealing
cattle and butchering them and selling the
meat, and following other like mean and
sneaking occupations. They live in shan
ties in the woods and Mr. B. says it is the
intention of the cititens to either kill or
drive them off. We certainly wish the
cititens success in either one or the other.
The Bone Slseast.
This disease, resembling tbe epizootio
but milder in its nature, appeared some
weeks ago in Buffalo, and last Monday
manifested itself in New York city. All
horses in the neighborhood of Central
Park, both io public and private stables,
ate affected. It is obvious irom the
way the disease has spread over the
city, that there is an infection in the
air. The epidemic is thought by maoy
to have proceeded from the Western
cities. The Superintendent of the
Broadway Railway stables said that out
of 1,200 horses, about 900 had had the
disease since last Thursday. He con
sidered the distemper epidemio, but
feared no serious consequences from it.
He said the horses began coughing the
moment they left the stable for the open
air, and thought that horsed in private
stables, which were usually weighed
down with blankets, were tbe greatest
sufferers from the disease. The change
from a warm stable and irom heavy
blankets to the open air waa apt to in
duce the worse eyintoms of epizootio.
Two or three horses have been seen af
fected to the extent suggestive of the
epizootio days of 1873. Tbe disease
bos appeared in all the stables on the
avenue.

The Secretary of the Treasury has
been for some time purchasing silver
bars, with a view to their coinage as a
substitute for the fractional currency.
The Chicago Tribune thinks he is try
ing to accomplish what is impossible at
this timo, its idea being that the at
tempt to float a silver coinage alongside
of a depreciated currency the latter
being a legal tender must fail.
He is seeking to estab'lBh a coin currency
in the face of the faot that the greenbacks
are to remain in circulation, and have not
reached a sufficiently advanced value. Our
silver coinage is worth about ninety-five
cents on the dollar in gold. Our green
backs are at present worth ten or eleven
cents less than silver coin. So long as the
paper currency has a less value than the
silver coinage, the latter will be seised and
hoarded, or will be exported, as rapidly as
it is issued. It is aa invariable rule that
where there are two forms of currency hav
ing different values, that one having the
greater value will be hoarded and tbe
other kept in circulation. For this rule
there is no exception, whether the cur
rency be in the form of metals or paper.
The inferior wilt exclude the superior. So
long as the value of the national currency
remains less than that of silver ooinage,
the latter, as rapidly as it comes from the
mint, will be seised by those who will sell
It as bullion pocketing the difference'
Nor is it necessary to induce this that dif
ference in value between paper money and
kilter coinage should be ten cents on the
dollar. So long as the silver is worth one
or even a quarter per cent, more than the
paper, it will be hoarded or be taken up
for exportation or sold as bullion.
The Tribune' idea is that the mo
ment that the greenbacks reach a
value equal to or exoeeding the value of
silver coin, then the Secretary of tbe
Treasury will be under no necessity to
purchase silver with gold, because silver
will change places with the paper cur
reocy by the act of private capitalists.
The moment a silver dollar ia worth
less than a greenback as compared with
gold, the fractional currency will be
gathered up and sent to the Treasury to
be redeemed in greebacks, and silver
will flow into circulation by effort of the
brokers and bankers, without any assist
ance from the Government Green
backs being a legal tender for all sums,
while rilver coin is legal tender for tbe
sum of five dollars, the former will have
a superior valne in the market so soon
as the paper currency is exchangeable
into gold at the same or bighsr value
than the silver coin.
THE COMING STATE FAIR.
COMPLETION OF ARRaNOKMENTS A
BRILLIANT DISPLAY IXPBCTED.
Lancaster, September 27. The an
nual fair of the State Agricultural So
ciety will open regularly in this city to
morrow, on the beautifully-located
grounds of the Lancaster Couuty So
ciety, fronting on New Holland avenue,
in the northeastern part of tbe city, and
only six squares from the Pennsylvania
Railroad depot. For some weeks past
Mr. D. VV Lister, of Harrisburg, the re
cording secretary, with a corps of assis
tants, made the most perfect arrange
ments, and the indications are to-day of
not only one of the greatest exhibitions
the kind ever witnessed io Pennsyl
vania, but also a very large attendance,
from all directions, especially from the
great central agricultural county of
Lancaster. The grounds, including a
temporary addition for the present occa
sion, contain about twenty-six acres, and
the demand seems to be for yet more .
The collection of agricultural imple
ments was never surpassed, probably
never -equaled. The collection covers
fully four aores of ground. The depart
ments for fruits and vegetables, me
chanical.mercantile.housekeeper's fancy ,
work, and fine arts are very full and at
tractive. The exhibitors are from vari
ous parts of the State, west as well
as eentral and eastern. Of course,
Lancaster is far ahead of any other
county. A well organized police foroe
is on the ground, and good order may
be expected during the week.
TbiRcpcblic Magaziks, forOotober. is
full of valuable political material. The
article by Judge Lawrence, of Ohio. "The
People a Nation: the Union Perpetual,"
will command wide attention. It places
the States Rights heresy in a strong light,
and advanoes proof to show that it had no
respectable following in our early history.
'A Manufacturing South," and "The Free
8outh Ordeal of Emancipation," are
thoughtful articles, containing a great
amount of rich material for others to build
upon. "Democratic Bule in Georgia;"
"Finance and Politics;" "Carpet-Baggers,
North and South;" "High and and Low
Tariffs;" "What Demociacy has cost tbe
South;" are among the many able articles
which make the October number one of the
best yet issued, The Bepublio is published

Proposed Kew National Bank.
A correspondent of the Washington
Republican advocates the establishment
of a new United States Treasury Bank.
He argues that what we need is "a cen
tral financial regulator, not an institution
aiming at making money, nor to enjoy
any arbitrary powers; on the contrary
its functions to be strictly prescribed
and limited to the custody of the publio
treasure, to the issuing of the only cur
rency allowed in the Union, redeemable
in coin, and in all other respects only to
be the executive officer of such funda
mental laws as woult be laid down for
its government; and the constitution of
this financial institution should be as
unchangeable and surrounded by such
safeguards as correctly have been given
to tha Constitution of the United States
itself." In regard to the old National
Bank, be ODscrvec '
Andrew Jackson assailed and abol
ished it. He proceeded in this matter
on the same reasoning as was employed
by the man who burned down his house
as the surest means of getting rid of the
vermin in the same. Abuses and irre
gularities had, no doubt, crept into the
old National bank. This was because
it was endowed with privileges which
should have been kept carelully away
from such a powerful institution. It
became corrupt, and a corrupt political
center with a corrupt moneyed power at
its command is an abomination. Still, J
believe it would have been better for
the United States if Andrew Jackson
had limmited himself to combat the
destructive elements io the institution,
corrected the abuses and made their
repetition impossible. Thus purified
the National bank would have continued
and might have proven a bulwark in
1862 that would have saved us from
the shinplaster reign under which we
now have been panting and Wasting
away so many valuable years.
W lldeat Banking Is Wa Want Xtf
A few days ago the New York and
Erie Bank in Buffalo went up. This
was one of tbe remnants of the old state
system of banking it was not under the
national bunk system. Tbe president of
tbe bank was the bank : be carried it in
his pocket, and when he died the bank
died with him, and the depositors and
stockholders have to look out for them
selves to get their money back. If this
had been a national bank the govern
ment would nave been on band with
the bonds and securities deposited with
it, to redeem the obligations of the
bank. So we have an illustration of
tbe old order of financiering close at
borne.
The Democratic State Convention of
the great state of Pennsylvania has met
and deliberated and passed a resolution
in favor of returning to this old, rotten,
worthlees, wildcat system of bankiogand
the abolition of the present well seoured
national bank system. Tbis is state sov
erignty cone to seed. For the sake of
tbe theory of confining everything in
government to the state, and taking
tvery thing possible away from the gen
eral government, they would unsettle
trade, make the circulating medium
worthless, and precipitate the nation
into the horrible abyss of financial an
archy. Nothing could better illustrate
the utter recklessness and lack of sense
and patriotism of the Democratic party.
They would like to return to tire old
balmy days of slavery, state sovereignty,
aud wildcat bankiog. They are op
posed to whatever of good th re is in
the present order of things if it can
be shown that Republicans had any
thing to do with securing that good.
For the sake of overthrowing the Re
publican patty they would overthrow
the country; they would ruin the nation
tor the sake of party success. Buffalo
Erprets.
The United Statet Economist obser
ves "It is a significant fact that all tbe
failures which occurred from the com
mencement of the panio of 1863 to the
present time were caused by excessive
speculation; engagement in enterprises
outside the proper business of the par
ties concerned, and to waste of eapical
consequence on these injudicious opera
tions. To this statement there seems to
be absolutely no exoeption. A few
minor, and as we shall assume, innocent
firms, may have been carried away and
overborne by the failure of greater con
cerns." BARGAINS! BARGAINSl BARGAINS!

The Philabelphia Letfyer money
column has a leading artiole on the sub
jeot of the future business, which is
good reading just at this time. The
Ledger says there are evidences in al
most every walk of trade that the
neoessary demand baa caught up with
production. Everybody for now nearly
two years past has been economizing
something, and manufacturing industry
has been so narrowed that there is little
over-supply. With prospective largo
crops for the current year, the point of
time would seem near at hand for a fav
orable change. And, indeed, signs of
such are not wanting. The following
faots from New England sources are
then given;
The Nashua Xtwi says the hard times
has not seriously affected either Machester
or Nashua, the two largest towns in New
Hamshire. In Manoheater the Amoskeag
Company are spending half a million of
dollars in diverting the course of a river
for building purposes, while a new mill,
ereoted last year, will soon be ready for
occupation, and will employ nearly 600
hands. The Stark Mills are ohanging
over their spinning at considerable cost
and erectiug buildings alongside the canal,
while the Manehester corporation is en
larging its mills ......Nashua also reports a
henllhy look financially, and great hopes
are entettained of a fair business for the
winier The Nashua Lock Company ie
doing more business than ever before; the
Indian Head Mills intend to run right
along; the Nashua Manufacturing Com
pany, which employs 1,100 hands, has
ample work for the winter, and no pros
pect of either reducing wages or help; the
shoe faotories report the same thing, while
e card and glased paper company, the
furniture factories, soapstone works, boiler
factory, machine shops and foundries all
tell a favorable tale. In some instances
the wages have been reduced, but not one
factory or shop anticipates a shutdown.
The tradesmen there are hopeful, but at
the same time careful and Invest their
money slowly and surely ......The Stanford,
CU, Manufacturing Companv are pushing
things, with a larger force of men than they
have ever employed at any time. The Cove
Mills fairly hum with industrious workmen
......The Bethel, Ct., comb factory is in
creasing its number of hands every day,
and an addition will soon be in demand....
At Dover Me., the woolen mills which sus
pended work a few weeks ago were to start
up again about September l......The Lewis.
ton cotton mills run lull hours and employ
all the help that can be obtained in their
weaving rooms. More cloth would be pro
duced but for the lack of help. Hand-Knit
goods manufacturers have agreed to hold
their goods for higher j rices... The manu
facture of horn jewelry and comas at
Loeminster, Mass., has taken a new im
petus, and several new firms have gone
into the business All the woollen mills
at Burrillville, R. I., are in operation, and
some of them run extra hours. Nearly all
of the small mills in tbe State are doiot
well.
All tha above are the clippings of a
single morning from one section of the
Union, and give encouraging signs of a
revival of business so long awaited.
Tbe provisions and breadstuff's of the
year promise unusual abundance, the
effeot of which will be to lessen .the
cost of living; this will warrant lower
prioes for the product of skilled work
men, and lower prices will invite to
larger consumption, so that tbe net
profits of the rewards of labor will not be
lessened, and may be io the aggregate
considerably increased. Add to all
this that the great staples, cotton, coal
and steel, are in rendy command at low
prices, there would seem to be little in
the way of an early revival of all the
industries. We say, therefore, says the
Ledger, be encouiaged; the good time
coming, there is reason to believe, is ou
its way, and may soon be here. Let
each resolve that there shall be no
croakers, and to that end do not listen
to any such.

MANN'S Williamsport Pa.
A man in Keene, N. H., owns a pickle
eighteen years old, and keeps it in a bottle
with a neck only one sixteenth as large as
the cuoumber. The seoret is that the oa
oumber went into the bottle when it was
youug, and now that it is old does not de
part from it, but has been made into a
pickle.
Bev. Cyrus Jeffries, aooording to the
Altoona Sun, is now about to bring suit
for the recovery of ooal lands at Houtzdale,
Clearfield county. The lands for whioh he
claims the title are worth $150,000. His
attorneys seem to be very sanguine of suc
cess, and say his titles are well founded.
This reveren gentleman never bothers
with small game, either in religious or
business affairs.
