These feeling which so sadden us, frequently
arise irom annoyances or trouble, from obstructed

Never let the bowels be confined or unduly act

Pills should be recommended lor a run upon the
bowen. many roas ruigiosing that 'hey would
increase relaxation. This Is a great mistake, how
ever ; for these Pill will lmmetllaiely correct the
liver and stop every kind ol bowel complaint. In
warm climates thousands of lives have been saved
by ths use l this medicine, which in all ease
give tone and vigor to tbe whole organic svvtcm,

IB HEW YORK LETTER.
Niw York, Xo. 3, 1876.
A LIYELT WEEK.
Tbe past week has been full enough
of excitement to satiefr tbe haorri-
eit boDter after sensational topics.
We bad in tbe first place oar chronic
excitement tbe impending; Presiden
tial election, and the arious ele
ments at work to enlist oar feelings
ia tne contest. 1 ben came tbe news
of Vanderbilt's death, at tbe first
whisper of which everr oue turned
tbeir eyes upon the Stock Board ex
pecting toseecbaos come again there.
Tbe denial of the rumor followed
with desperate haste, for there are
too many millions cf property de
pendent upon tbat one life, to prevent
any negligence in attending to very
cause which can effect it. An boar
and a half after tbe rumor cf tbe
death was sent flying e'er the wires
to every part of tbe Union, tbe As
sociaieed Press sent an aothoritive
contradiction after it Swift as this
was, it is said tbat it was still too
slow to cava tboosands of dollars to
holders of Vanderbilt stocks, who
were overtaken with a panic at tbe
first intimidation, and hastened to
dispose ot tbeir shares at a sacrifice,
This seems hardlv possible. Van-
derbilt's death has so long been a
matter likelv to hsppen at anr hour,
tbat it would seem tbat its effect must
long sgo have been largely discount
ed bv tbe dealers in stocks. Further
it is well known that Vanderbilt baa
carefully trained op a boo as his suc
cessor, who has now reached tbe ma
ture age of 40 rears, and is known
to be thoroughly imbued with his
father's ideas and practices, and
wbile not having probably all of tbe
Commodore's wonderful executive
ability has ability enongb, at least to
carry on in tbe same manner tbe great
organization that bis father has
built up, and in doing which he will
have tbe aid of all tbe able men gath
ered about him, and disciplined into
harmonious working together. Tbe
Stock Exchange and some other in
terests, are making a very vigorous
hunt after tbe author of the bogus
dispatch, announcing tbe old gen
tleman's death, and some persons
pretty bigb up in business circles are
likely to see the penitentiary loom op
unpleasantly propinqaoas and dis
tinct in tbe vista of tbeir future.
Tbe next sensation in order was
MRS. IRENE BOISE'S TRIAL,
for tbe murder ot her husband, Or
son A. House, the notorious divorce
lawyer. In less stirring times this
would have made a sensation as pro
found as tbat wbicb aroused tbe
country at the time of tbe Cuonig
ham-Durdell murder a score of years
ago. It baa an unusual number of
elements to arouse tbe keepest inter
est. Tbe murderess is rarely beauti
ful, a blonde of tbat perfect, pure
type tbat men especially dark hair
ed ones- idealize into angels ana in
vest with all the attributes tbat eratic
poets endow tbeir queens, of song
and beauty witb, but who are likely
to be very far from etberal saints. The
fair Irene is now thirty-two, with
every womanly charm in full maturi
ty. Sbe is the child of wealth
and cultivation, has done everything
possible to suppliment tbe lavish
gifts of nature. But sbe has a tem
per, and ber past life does not appear
entirely spotless. She was married
at sixteen to a mass who proved to
be uncongenial. Sbe sought House
to procure a divorce. They ibund
themselves to be affinities at first
meeting ; be rid her of ber distaste
ful companion, and some years after
bis own wife bad the good taste to
die committed suicide oa account of
jealousy of Irene, it is said aBd
House and Irene were married.
House made great aoms of money by
bis tefarioujS business, aad tbey lived
iH &M atyle at Trenton, X. 4. Tbeir
oonjogal bf was ciiaracterized by al
teraatioc of the most ardent affec
tion for eacb other, oaa day, to bitter
quarrel the aex.V which frequently
ended by Hoose beating his wife sav
agely. Jan 29, House beat her ern
eUy, and then turned oa her son by
ber first husband, n boy of sixteen.
She snatched n revolver which, she
bad always near bar, and snot ber
husband thronga 'Ike head. As he
fell dead she was aeiaed wtih remorse,

of business with a rush. Its Euro
pean effects would not be altogeter
deplorable either ; it would without
doubt, wipe out many grievous abus
es and wrongs, and set tbe whole
continent much farther ahead on tbe
road of progress.
HOME POLITICS.
There has been less of showy dem-
onstrtaions than in tbe earlier part of
tbe campaign, bat there is more real
effective wrk being done. The Dem
ocrats, under the personal manage
ment of Mr. Tilden and his astute
coadjutors, are carrying out tbe still
hunt tactics witb unflagging energy
and thoroughness. Never, certainly in
tbe history of ' the State has there
been as careful, all-embracing, all
considering canvass been made as
tbe Democrats are now making. You
do not hear so much of it but yon
cannot mingle with tbe people any
without feeling it Tbe reason is
that it is absolutely vital to Mr. Til
den to carry tbe State ; he muW do
it to stand any snow to be elected,
while Hayes can get along without it.
The Republicans are little, if any, be
hind tbeir opponents in tbe thorough
ness of their canvass. They ere em
p oying tbeir immense preponderance
in tbe . press hoth in ' ability and
numbers-of the Jbarnal's to- great
effect and tbe people are being thor
oughly aroused. This is being aided
by careful organization everywhere.
Tbe "ompleteoesa with wbicb both
partien are being organized, is shown
by the rf:f ation in New York citv
wbicb is 116,893 against 68,638 lhs't
year. This may mean unusual interest
jn'tbe election, or stupendous fraud
probably does mean both. Tbe Re
publicans are tborougly aroused to
tbe necessity of compelling their op
ponents to poll an honest vote, and
will make every effort to secure that
end. Tbey feel that the country ex
pects much of them and tboy will
not prove recreant to tbeir duty.
The defiant, threatening attitude of
THE SOLID 801 TH
is proving of great assistance to tbem,
as it briogs forcibly before tbe coun
try tbe danger of Democratic victory,
and will call out to tbe polls what
has been termed tbe reserve of the
Republican party tbe quiet, thought
ful men, who usually take so little in
terest in politics tbat tbey frequently
forget to vote but who make them
selves felt vigorously when sucb an
emergency as te present one de
mands tbeir action.
TAMMANT'8 VICTORY.
The leading topic among local pol
iticians has been the efforts made to
bring about a reunion of. tbe two
wings of Tammany. There was not
a particle of principal involved in tbe
matter, it was simply an arrange
ment for tbe satisfactory distribution
of the spoils. Conference Commit
tees were appointed, and a conven
tion was held last Sunday. Tbe
anti-Tammany wing presented a list
of tbe offices it wanted for its share;
Tammany was disposed to allow
oearly all, but would not all ; anti-
Tammany insisted on the whole list ;
both were firm : the whole reconcili
ation fell through, and both parties
are flying at each other's throats with
tbeir old time vigor. Tammany feels
herself strong enough, however, to
carry ber candidates through without
tbe help of anti-Tammany. Tbe last
act is the withdrawal of Jobn Mor
rissey from Anti-Tammany, to unite
himself with tbe other wing. Tbe
latter do not claim as much of an
acquisition, however, as be has lost
much of his following, and did not
take anybody out of anti-Timmany
witb him. .
THREE BACHELORS
The New York Democracy seems
to run to bachelors. Tilden, their
Governor, is a dried up . weasened
old celibate. A H. Green, candidate
for Comptroller, has nevor loved, or if
he has, bas lost the object of bis affec
tions, and now tbey have nominated
for Mayor of the city, Smith Ely a
gerufenan who has reached his fifty
scaoufi year without finding a lady
sufficiently attractive to beguile hint
of bia Libert j. This Latter gent!enan,
whose Domination has given him
noma prominenca, is n well-to do
leather merchant in the city, n de
scendant of tb old Knickerbockers, n
dapper, a pleasant little gentleman,
who haa served n terns in Congress,
and in which be bever made a speech
or proposed n measure, bat simply
followed tbe programme laid down
by his party leaders. . Personally

and perhaps relishes n good dinner

political distinction.
A MARRIAGE CONTRACT.
Th raatrisnoaial infelicities which
are continually coming to tb surface
7.
n tb newspapers are certainly dis
couraging to all who contemplate
entering into that holy state. . People
generally refuse to profit by th expe
rience of others, in this sorrt of
thing, however, Tbey feel that they
and tbeir particular affinity are ex
ceptions to th general rule, aad tbey
will love and cling to each other as
long as life lasts. This is n pleasant
little egotism, bv th way, that we all
indulge in more or less, in various re
lations of life. Wa are fond of im
agining tbat we are exempt from or
superior to the ordinary exigencies of
existence, tbat other people suffer
from. More wise in their day and
generation, however, is a eouple, who
were recently united in this city in a
manner whljb bas produced aa uni
versal ripple in tbeir circle aa edu
cated highly respectable one, by
the way. Both lady and gentleman
are highly cultivated, reined people,
of attractive personal appearance.
Each is hovering on the brink or the
third decade of existeneo, nnd while
capable of the deepest and most sin
cere affection, have learned ' enough
of the world to be thoroughly pru
dent When they decided to unite
their fortunes, they wtnt at it in a
very business like way, and instruct
ed their lawyers to p.epare a mar
riage contract which would permit
the restoration of either party to the
etalu quo ante mUrimonium at aoy
day, when either shall feel that such
is desirable. Tbe contract is very
carefully drawn, and provides that all
tbe property that either is endowed
with at the time of marriage shall re
vert to bim or ber inUct at tbe same
time of dissolution of Jie anion, and
all property acquired by joint efforts
shall be equally divided. Should
any children result from the union,
the girls shall be given to the mother
and tbe boys to the father, if a sepa
ration takes place. This extraordina
ry document was read to tbe assem
bled guests at tbe wedding, who were
asked to fix tbeir signatures to it af
ter those of the bride and groom. It
is claimed by many tbat this is a
model to wbicb the marriage contrsct
of the future will conform.
POOL OAMSLINU.
I apprehend tbat ia tbe near future
there will have to be the same repres
sive legislation-brought to bear upon
the species of : gambling known as
pool-selling as their has been to de
stroy lottemes and gift
enterprises. Pool-selling bas already
reached a great development Pools
are sold everywhere, and on every
possible occurrence. At first confined
to horse-racing, it extended to boat
ing, base-ball, and now to elections,
and tbe war prospects in Europe. In
extent it is simply immense. During
tbe recent races at J erotne park tbe
amount of pools sold in three rooms
alone averaged over $150,000 making
from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 hazard
ed during th whole races in these
rooms alone. If te this is added tbe
pools sold at doxens of different plac
es tbe amount rises to many millions.
It is now a pernicious vice and bids
fair to do vast barm, unless it is dealt
with speedily and energetically by the
law.
PlETRO.
CIOTENNIAL LETTER.
Philadelphia, Nov. 6, 1876.
Edilort Herald :
I don't think there
ia anything so good as tbe California
fruits ou, at tbe Exhibition, and so
you won't . scold if I say so, even
though Pennsylvania has a large ex
hibit on show. But our fruits are so
tine, so big, and so luscious that you
cannot but remark tbe difference.
Our grapes grow in bunches so full
tbat each crowds the other until tbey
are all sorts of shapes, instead of
round as orthodox grapes ought to
be. Our apples grow until they for
get bow big tbey are, and tbey don't
know when to stop, but just keep on
growing until tbey are almost big
enoogh to make it necessary to keep
one cut to sell slices off from when
ana wants enough to make pies of
for dinner- Our plums are big as
geese eggs and as sweet as honey;
our Straw Derr ICS aim suurnca uin
to be divided to eat, like tbe oysters
here ; and our pears are more like in
verted balloons than fruit, and so on
in proportion. If anybody don't be
lieve what I say let tbem visit the
Pomological exhibit of Mr. Joseph
Newman, the great Pioneer Bilk
arower ol California, in tbe Pomo
logical Hall out at the, Ceotenuial.
Mr. Newman has also a magnificent
disDlav of raw silk, cocoons, silk
worms, aad eggs, and elegant silk
flags all of California. . He has la
bored under many aimcuiues in in
troducing the silk culture in Califor
nia, and spent tnousanas ui oouaxn,
besides several years of unrecom
pensed work, and at last has suc
ceeded in creating n demand for silk
tbat California supplies, thus intro
ducing a new industry and opening n
Lew resource in tbat state already so
rich. The worms and cocoons are
called tbe finest in the Exhibition
Mr. Newman bas expended some
$1,400 to bring on this exhibit and
arrange his cases, none of. wbicb be
can hope to receive, but, as be has
always worked just so, doing much
for California's credit and receiving
bat meagre encouragement, he expects
nothing, only the credf. of having
given the last years of his life to cre
ate n new. industry in our beloved
Stat. And now in nddition to that,
he haa had sent on this fruit, though
it costs $1,400 in freight for ea-h car
load ; an expense tbat it is impossi
ble to reimburse, even with tbe sale
ot tb fruit, as it ia so perishable.
But it is good to see real fruit aain.
All the world seems to think now
that k must visit tbe Exhibition at
once, nnd so tbe city is fan, and tbe
Centennial crowded ; and it la amus
ing, to say nothing worse, to see the
people posh ntd crowd nnd sure, but
it is no fan to be smong the crowd

how many cases were treated each

Neither is tbe police news dissemi
nated as fully as it might be by the
all-powerful Commission, for of all
tbe robberies that take place hourly
a very small percentage is ever
brought to public notice. The French
exhibitors complain bitterly of their
losses. Tbe Swedish department,
tbe Italian, tbe Japanese. Peruvian,
Chilian, and in short every depart
ment except tbe English have suffered
more or less severely. Some of the
thefu bave amounted to considerable
sums; one was of a set of cameo
jewelry worth over a thousand dol
lars. Tbe reason wby tue fcogiisn
Section is exempt from these vexa
tious thefts is because tbe Govern
ment sent over here a very efficient
police force of men under Mr. Hagan.
Inspector, and he is on the alert
night and day to protect the interests
of the English exhibitors, and uphold
the British reputation for careful
government, and regard for her chil
dren's property. Mr. P. Cunlifle
Owen was Chief Commissioner of
the British Section in Vienna, and
Mr. Hagan beld tbe same position of
trust there tbat be does bere, witb
the addition of being tbe confidential
friend snd sdviser of tbe Chief Com
missioner ; and as he was tbe only
one wno spoke uermao, oe was re
SDonsible -in a greater measure even
than bere. I believe in always
giving a good man bis due, and I
have been at some pains to find out
tbe reason wby the English section
escaped so well, and find tbat tbe ex
hibitors nearly sll accredit it to tbe
excellent management of Mr. Hagan,
who is equally esteemed by the Brit
ish Commission, and all tbe exhibit
ors for bis probity snd faithful per
formance of bis duties.
I read in tbe English papers tbat
Mr. P. Cunliffe Owen is already ap
pointed Commissioner from Eugland
to France, and Mr. Hagan wilit
witbonl doubt, be witb him there.
I know be will do good rervice.
Many people laughed, and mtny fell
tbeir National pride wounded when
tbey found that Eaglaod was to semi
over a police force of ber own, but no
one can say now tbat sbe did not do
well, when they take the frequent
thefts and other disagreeable occur
rences in the other sections into con
sideration, knowing that none happen
in tbe English department. In
choosing Mr. Owen for that import
ant position in France, tbe English
Government has shown tbat perspi
cuity for which sbe is famous, aud
sbe may be assured of being worthily
represented there, for Mr. Owen is
in every way an honor to bis or aoy
other country. He is a profound
scholar; connoisseur of arts, and be is
deeply interested in all explorations,
and in short all good works. The
Museums of England are indebted to
bim for some of the rarest objects
there. And be is as good and geu tie
and kind bearted as any one could
be and is loved by all who bave tbe
good fortune to meet bim.

Tbe woman who runs tbe 'Turkish

following a Whale.
a snip some time ago arrived at
Bristol afte" a successful whaling
voyage. Time was when thousands
of vessels tracked the great sea mon
sters in search of oil, but tbe discov
eries of the mineral article have made
Tbe trade no longer remunerative, or
at least much less in object of pur
suit. I he ship referred to was tbe
West Wind, commanded by Captain
Parker, wbo had a most perilous ad
venture during tbe cruise, and which
came very near costing him his life.
Under the most favorable circumstan
ces the occupation of tbe whaler s
one of great danger and physical trial
and very few ships ever return to
port without losing one or more bands
by the ordinary exigencies of tbe ser
vice.
It seem9 that Captain Parker was
out from bis ship witb a boat's crew,
cbasiDg a whale, and having fastened
bis harpoon to tbe creature, it dived,
as nsual, aod tbe line coiled in tbe
bows of tbe boat, began to run out
witb lightning speed, as the monster
sunk to tbe extreme depth of the
ocean. At this critical juncture Cap
tain Parker went to the forward prt
of tbe boat, to be sure tbat there was
no .t wist io tbe rope to prevent its
working clear. The line was running
out witb sucb rapidity as to cau-e
the smoke to arise from tbe wood
work of tbe boat, and tbe Captain
threw water as is the custom; but by
an unlucky lurch of the boat, be was
canted from bis position, and he nat
urally threw out bi left band, to pre
vent himself from falling, but in so
doing be placed it so that tbe rope
coiled around bis wrist, and be was
overboard aod out of sight in an in
stant. He was perfectly conscious wbile
he was riinhiog down, head foremost.
and witb an incredible swiftness, and
it appeared to hint that bis arm would
be torn from the socket, so great was
the resistance of the water. During
these awful moments be was well
aware of bis perilous situation, aod
tbat tbe only chance for life was to
cut tbe lines. But bow could be do
tbis? He could not move bis right bacd
from bis side, to wbicb it was closely
pressed by the force of the element
through which he was being drawn
Toe pressure on bis brain grew more
and more terrible, and a roaring as of
thunder sounded in bis ears. He
opened bis eves for a sicgle instant.
and it seemed as though a stream of
fire was passing before them; and
now came that inevitable activity of
the brain which characterizes all
socb perilous situations where one's
whole life seems to pass in review in
an instant of time. But tbe captain
was a very practical man, cool and
courageous always, consequently still
self-possessed.
He began to struggle witb all bis
muscular power to reach tbe knife
wbicb be wore in bis belt He felt
tbat be was growing weaker every
instant, and it was now or never witb
bim though we should say, paren
thetically tbat what requires so long
to describe, occurred in time tbst was
recood by sounds rather than min
ute", Ob! if he could command but
bis right band for one stroke up
oo tbat fatal line ! Now his hesrt be
gan to fail him. He did not abso
lutely despair, but bis brain reeled,
bis nerves seemed to alternate before
bis eyeballs, and bis bead felt
a though comprf s-ed in an iron vice.
Were these bis last momenta? He
tbooght, in spite of the agonizing pain
be would make one more brave ef
fort Tbe line providentially slackened
for a second; be reached his knife,
aud as quick as tboogbt itself, ss tbe
rope became taut again, the keen edge
of the knife was opon it, and by a
desperate effort of bis arm it became
severed. He was freed, sod taen
