beneficial to children, and yet so searching
as to effectually purge out the great cor
ruptions of the blood, such as the.sopflilotis.
and gyfilillitic contamination. Impurities,
or diseases that have lurked in the system
for years, soon yield to this powerful anti

It is an excellent restorer of health and
strength in the Spring. By renewing the
appetite and vigor of the digestive organs,
it dissipates the depression and listless lan

appears, people feel better, and live longer,
for cleansing the blood. The system moves
on with renewed vigor and a new lease of

Long experience has proved th Pills willse saf
est, surest, and best of all the which
the market abounds. By their occasional use,
the blood is purified, the corruptions of the aye
tem expelled, obstructions removed and the
whole machinery of life restored to Its healthy
activity. Internal organs which become clogged
and sluggish are' cleansed by dyer's Nil., and
stimulated, into action. Thus Incipient disease
is changed into health, the value of which chaT i o,
when reckoned on the vast multitudes who enjoy
It, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coat g
makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their
virtues unimpaired for any length of time, so
that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching, they are mild, and operate
without disturbance to the constitution , or Wet, or

A CURIOUS COMEDY.
. The Detroit Free Press of the 23cl prints the
following history :
It le a fact probably better known to the
custom house officers than to outsiders that at
least every tenth women who crosses the De—
troit river carries 'smuggled goods. These
goods may be ten, coffee, socks, thread, rib
bons, or something else of co great value ; but
the intent to smuggle is there, and the success
in bringing over a small lot is nearly always
an inducement for the smuggler to try the
game on a larger scale. Men may and do
smuggle clothing now and then, but then it is
the female sex which carries the burden of
guilt. The custom-house official§ nt the ferry
dock in this city are as vigilant as officer§ can
be, but what chances have they against mon
strous hoopekirts and gigantic bustles-? They
cannot stop to peep under shawls, examine
pockets, look Into baby carts and hold a crowd
on:the boat, and so they must continue their
work with the knowledge that goods are be
ing smuggled, and that only one grand and
sudden haul of their nets can trap the guilty
and frighten the Innocent so that they shall
never dare to pursue the business.
The net was drawn yesterday. The officers
commenced about 2 o'clock, walked fifteen
or twenty women up stairs into the custom
rooms and handed them over to a woman to
be searched. Every boat-load which landed
for about three hours was treated in the same
manner—that is, all the female portion. Some
were indignant and appealed to the custom
officers. Others wanted to faint away, but
after looking at the planks and dust concluded
not to. Others wept, laughed or turned pale,
but none of them were permitted to i. escape.
During the afternoon about one hundred and
fifty women were confronted by Uncle Sam,
and the old man had a good deal of fun and
made some wonderful' discoveries,
For instance, a modest little woman, win
was in a great hurry to go home to her sick
child, pulled out a few pins, and ten yards of
English flannel fell to the floor. A tall wo
man, with tears in her eyes, who asserted that
she would sooner chop her head off than to
think of smuggling, unfastened a pound of tea
from her skeleton, and asserted that it must
have been . placed there by some designing
person. Another one indignantly denied
"the right of search," but, after remaining a
pilsoner for an hour or two, told the searcher
to " take It, and go to grass," throwing a pack
age of ribbons,and laces on the floor. A lot
of calico was found on - another, some velvet
on another, and at least ten per cent. of the
whole number were found to be engaged in
smuggling. The officials were satisfied with
confiscating the goods.
Sketches of the Life of a noted Pianist
and Composer.
Anton Rubinstein, pianist and composer,
was born November 12, 1820, (according to
the Russian calendar, or 30th of same month
according to the Roman calendar,) at %Yeah
wotynez, a village in Moldavia on the fron
tiers of Russia and Bessarabia. As Moldavia
Is one of those so called Danubian principali
ties so frequently mentioned in modern dip
lomacy and ancient Turkish wars, and whose
population Is a compound of so many and
different races, dating from Trojan's Roman
colonists, and Dacians, the original popula
tion, and being modified by Grecian, Gothic,
Slavic, Turkish, Jewish and Gipsey elements,
it might be difficult, without his family gene
alogy, to decide the race whence is descended
the great pianist ; but, as wo shall shortly see,
he is Russian by adoption, and German by his
musical education, for, shortly after his birth,
the family moved to Moscow, where his father
established a pencil factory, and lie received
much-of his musical Instruction in Berlin.
His mother was a good musician, and played
the piano ; she frequently observed her son's
fondness for music by his perseveringly re
maining near the instrument when she prac
tised. She taught him the elements of music,
and his progress was so rapid that she com
mitted him to the cure of Villoing, the tint
Professor of the piano in Moscow, who was
Rubinstein's only master for this instrument.
Villoing being obliged to go to Paris in 1839,
took the boy Rubinstein with him, being un
willing to trust him to another master. In
1840, the child gave a concert in Paris be
fore the most renowned artists, and performed
the music of , Bach, Beethoven, Hammel,
Chopin and Liszt. Tile latter congratulated
the infant prodigy, (now different from some
of our now-a-day critics, who sneer at talented
children), urged him to work seriously, and
advised his master to take him to Germany.
After long travels and many concerts, the
youthful executrant returned to Russia, where
he remained nearly a year. A younger brother
Nicholas, gave evidence of a rare disposition
for composition, and the two boys were taken
by their mother to Germany to study the art
of writing music.
When Madame Bubinstein'arrived in Ber
lin, she consulted Meyerbeer on the choice of
a master of composition, and was recommend
ed by him to Dehn, whose pupils they became,
and studied under him the theory of counter
point and harmony. Rubinstein one day said
to M. Fetis, the distinguished Musical critic
and literateur, that there was no sign of talent'
in him ; he had the desire to write big things,
and undertook, in fact, to compose concertos
for the piano, operas, cantatas and symphon
ies; but all this was but bedaubed paper. "My
brother," added he, "on the contrary,shnwed
a most remarkable aptitude for his studies."
The latter, on account of the deelib ing health
and' subsequent death of the father, was forced
to return to Russia and attend to the buslnese."
Music was necessarily neglected, and his hap
py instinct for art had no further favorable
opportunity to be developed. He. was quite
recently practising medicine in Moscow. An
ton went to Vienna, where he lived by giving
lessons on the piano. After staying a year in
this interesting capital, he undertook a series
of concerts-in Hungary, with the celebrated
flutist virtuoso Heindl. They had formed the
project to go to America, but when they had
arrived in Berlin with the design of going to
Hamburg, whence to embark, Rubinatein's
friends dissuaded him from making the voy
age. Bad they then come to America proba
ble Heindl would still be living. In 1840, ho
attended a schuetzenfest in Nuremberg, whore
he was shot accidentally, through the care
lessness of a thoughtless follow, while sitting
in hiacarrisgo. He is spoken of as the most
remarkable performer on the flute ever known.
Rubinstein remained.in Berlin, and it is said
that there end then be had the revelation of
his talent for composition, this higher stratum
1 of the musical art. From this moment he re
solved to give himself up to it 'without reser•
vation, to the neglect of ids studies of teed
nlque.

A FORTUNATE DRUG CLERK.
,
hrinnr,9li°
000,000—She is il, tmonse.
Another of those little romances in real life
has just come to light in Washington. The
bon ton is in ecstacies over it. A dopper look
ing apothecary's clerk has succeeded In marry
ing a fortune of $9,000,000, and now he has
gone NV( st to spend It. The facts in the case,
as related to me this morning, arc as follows :
Six months ago a charming young lady,
dressed elegantly and in the height of fashion
and representing herself to be the relict of a
late prominent New York oil speculator, ap-•
peared in Washington and took up her resi
dence at the Arlington Hotel. While at the
Arlington she one day had occasion to procure
an assortment of perfumery, and in quest of
that deOirable acquisition of the toilet, called
at the extreme upper crust drug store of the
city, known as Thompson's, which Is situated
opposite the Treasury Department. -
Behind the showy counter of Thompson's
red bottle establishment waited an attractivb
clerk, a young gentleman of twenty•nine,who
was no sooner seen than he had conquered.
The next day the relict of the Now York oil
speculator invited the elegant drug clerk to a
tete a tete at the Arlington.
Thereafter occurs a blank, until the time of
the Baltimore Convention, when Mr. Drug
Clerk received a mysterious note from New
York. Ile went to Baltimore, there met the
lady, was married, remained through the Con
vention, and quietly returned to Washington
to resign his clerkship and exist without visi
ble means of support. The lady soon followed
him here, and again went to the Arlington,
where she resided some time, occasionally re
ceiving the fortunate husband,ancl loading him
with presents of diamonds, rings,gold watches,
&c., winding up by transferring to him a
whole business lot In Sou Francisco, with the
buildings thereon—a very valuable piece of
property, of which slue herself holds a com•
panion in New York. '
Next they started to Philadelphia,where the
lady took a sudden notion logo West, the only
notification the ex-drug clerk's friends received
of his intention being a telegram couched In
these words :
" Shan't return. Can't avoid it. Am going
to San Francisco."
On Friday a letter was received from the
Pacific slope, containing the information that
the young man had started a magnificent
wholesale drug store at the Golden Gate. The
immense wealth which has fallen to his lot,
together with the extraordinary manner of the
match-making awl the beauty and high stand
ing of the wife, are the n lee days' wonder of
the court circles of NVashington, and coming
on the skirts of the romantic Aulick wedding;
has set everybody to asking : " \V hat next ?"

Do People Read Advertisements.
There is now and then a person so stupid
as to believe that advertisements in the news
papers ere not generally read, and that money
expended in advertising is practically wasted.
Even such will concede that if a hundred men
of polite address, of fluent speech and ready
wit were to call daily or weekly each upon a
hundred others and get the ears of each long
enough to say John Smith, or Jones or
Thompson at such a place has such and such
prices, or would sell a farm, or house and lot
or lost a horse or pocket book, or would loan
money, etc.—we say such such men will con
cede, that the services of this 100 men would
be of great value to Smith or Jones, and in
some measure advantageous to the party to
whom this statement was made. This 100
men could not be employed to go from door
and make this statement to ten thousand pert
pie at less than a cost of several hundred dol
lars each trip. All this done by a newspaper
at a cost of a few dimes, or a few dollars at
most, and the visits are made week after week
day after day. The messenger who travels
addressee himself to the ear and takes the par
ty addressed when he may have his thoughts
absorbed in business or other matters; but the
newspaper reaches the party sought through
the eye when the reader bee his thoughtssole.
fixed upon the paper before him.
But the:.,, who affect to believe that there is
little use in advertising urge as an objection
that advertisements are not read. They can
be easily convinced of their error In this re
specs by making inquiry. Let theM insert no
advertisement offering to purchase some ar
tide that is tolerably plenty in the market,
and they will be flooded with effete to sell he
fore the ink of the advertisement is dry. An
enterprising weekly that has a circulation of
one two or three thousand copies is in a po
salon to do the village merchant great good,
and for which, as a rule, the publisher does ,
not got one-fourth of what be justlydreervee.
In its sphere, the weekly is quite as much eer.

seldom has.
AFFAIRS IN SPAIN.
Hostile Attitude of the Kingdom of Amadeus To
ward America—Dernandis of the United States
A letter to the N. Y. Times upon Spanish
affairs says :
I do not think it an exaggeration to say that
at len g th Spain has thrown down the gauntlet
to the United States. The new;Government,
the representatives of the revolution of 1808,
have made a public declaration of their policy,
and have refused to heed the just reclamation'
of our country. It has declared that nothing
at all will be done nor any proposition enter.
tained so long as a single Cuban remains in
arms. The Cubans are to be killed in arms,
or are to submit and be shot ; and then Spain
will govern her colony in the time-honored
way which is so shocking to our sense of right
ar.d justice. A draft copy of Senor Ruiz Zor
rifles' remarks In Saturday's session of the
Codes reached here by to-day's post, and the
telegraph will have informed you of the leading
points In the Minister's declaration. Perhaps
the caution with which Senor Zorrilla ex
preeses his conviction that portraitism demands
the extermination of all opponents, will lead
our people to reflect a little upon what we owe
to civilization and to humanity. Spain has
clearly defied us, and has refused to grant the
promised reforms.
AMERICA'S DEMANDS
For a long time our Government has not
ceased to ask a change of policy with regard
to her American' .olonlep, urging upon her
that a more humane prosecution of the war
and thaabolltion of slavery were things due
not only to humanity, but to public opinion
In the United States ; and It has also asked, as
concessions duo to the feelings of our people,
the reign of law in Cuba and the better treat
merit of our citizens and our flag. As Spain
well knew, there was a moment. when It would
have been dangerous so refuse these just and
reasonable demands. She promised to grant
the abolition of slavery and the Cuban re
forms, and then prevaricated. The replies
given were intentionally false. Owing to in
ternal troubles our Government hesitated to
push matters, and with great patience waited
for the formation of a Liberal Ministry. This
forbearance was, it seems, taken as a sign of
weakness. The Zorrilla Ministry prevaricated
also ; it allowed new outrages to be commit.
ted with impunity ; it promised to Indemnify
Mr. Peake for his Illegal arrest ; and it prom
ised to get a decree to carry the reform laws
into execution. But almost the first impor
tant act of the Ministry was to throw all of
these promises overboard and to declare flatly
against any sort of reform in Cuba,and against
the demands of the United States.
TIIE NEW GOVERNMENT AND CODA
This speech—this formal and °Metal declar-
ation 6y the most liberal Cabinet Spain has
ever had,—contains the sentiments of the new
Government, and shows the deliberate purpose
to exterminnte the Cubans before considering,
much less granting, any sort of reform, politi
cal, economical, 'or social. It is a declaration
so full and so clear that it will show our GOV
ernment the folly of trusting longer to Spanish
promises, and leave no further room for the
hope that the Cuban question can be solved,
or tor the pacification of-the Island by 'diplo
matic measures. What then remains to be
done 7 Doubtiess the President will act in
accordance with the wishes of our people, and
as our citizens are united in calling for the
abolition of slavery in Cuba, I should not be
surprised to hear that the next step would be
the withdrawal or the recall of our Minister at
Madrid. It is easy to foresee that the second
will be Indicated by the President in his Mes
sage to Congress, and I have no doubt that
one sharp paragraph:at least, will be given to
this subject. At any rate, the Cuban question
must take large proportions during the coming.
year, for we now know the purposes of Spain
and her feelings toward us in this matter.
HORRIBLE DEATH
The Pittsburgh Gazette says :
A runaway accident, of a fearful character,oc
curred In Allegheny, yesterday—the details of
which are sickening to read. The matter was
first discovered by Officer 11. Miller, of the po
lice force, who was returning to' the city along
the Perrysville road, io a wagon, with a pris
oner in charge when he observed a pair of
horses attached to a lumber wagon, coming
coming toward him. The officer drove his
buggy directly across the road, and as the
frantic team neared tho spot he succeeded In
checking the animals. There was no person
in charge of the runaway team, apparently,
but on close Inspection, Officer Miller was
horrified by the sight of a portion of a mans
body entangles in the double tree and the
front running gear of the wagon. The sight„
was sickening in the extreme. Pieces of the
body was ground into the hindhoofs of the
horses; other portions adhered to the wheels,
and the lumber on the wagon was bespattered
with blood. The roadway was marked with
pieces of clothing, pieces of flesh and lumps
of hair. Papers and other effects from the de
ceased were picked up some distance back on
the road, from which it appeared that the vie•
tim was John S. Miller, a farmer residing in
Brownsdale, Allegheny county. A. vecelpted
bill for lumber purchased of Mr. James Mc.
Brier, of Allegheny, was found in his pocket.
The exact point at which the horses started to
run, or what frightened them, of course le not
known ; but It is supposed they ran at least
three miles, as the toll•keeper says that they
passed through the tollgate under such head.
way that he could not see anything of the un
fortunate man on the wagon. Portions of the
body were scattered along the road for a cou
ple of miles, and It Is supposed that the man
in falling caught In the ew Ingle tree, and had
his brains beaten out by the heels of the fright
ened horses, while hie his body was torn and
mangled by coming in contact with the ground.

elected in Pennsylvania at the October Bice
lion. For the Sixth District composed of the
Counties of Lehigh James S. Biery is declared
duly elected. For this election Mr. Biery can
feel himself Indebted to Hon. John D. Stiles
and others of the "Ring" at Allentown, to
William H. Witte and other secret intriguers
in Montgomery County and we believe, to
Hon. Samuel J. Randall, Chairman of the
Democratic State Committee.'
"Hon. John D. Stiles started the difficulty
in Lehigh County. Two years ago, when the
nomination belonged to Montgomery, he was
quietly a candidate for re-nomination and went
home from North Wales, mad because he did
not get the nomination. Ho gave the nominee
an indifferent support, and it has been stated
to us that he handed out tickets with stickers
of the Radical nominee pasted over that of the
Democratic Candidate. That he also stated
publicly on the night of the election when the
returns were coming In, it ho had been the
candidate ho would have polled a different vote
thus boasting of self-supposed popularity.
"At that time he made up his mind to be a
candidate again for the nomination In 1872.
Disparaging remarks were made of Dr. Acker's
course in Congress, and the latter's name was
not allowed to be mentioned in the Demo.
cratic papers—the Allentown Democrat or the
Republikaner, the Editor of the former Raines
and the principal publisher of the latter,
Weiser, being controlled by him. Dr. Acker's
vote on the Tariff question although Ito had
been greatly misrepresented on that question
previous to the election, not being published
until by special request from Dr. Acker him
self so that he might be properly plaeee before
his constituents of that county.
"Then, when Gov. Geary failed to sign the
Appointment bill, last winter and it was
settled, Lehigh and Montgomery were to. re
main together for the election of 1872, he im
mediately set to work, to create the publilk
opinion In Lehigh County, that that Counts , - ,
was entitled to the nomination, and to set the
people of that County in that opinion so that
they would not yield to Montgomery. This'
ho artfully did, that is, set up the claim of
Lehigh, that he might secure the nomination
again for himself. This undoubtedly is the
truth that ho did more than any other one
man or perhaps than all others together to act
Lehigh County in that way as It is believed
that for a long time, no other persons in that
county had any Idea of being candidates, it
being generally considered that Dr. Acker
would be conceded his second term: Stiles
however so artfully worked up this Lehigh
County tooling, for his own self aggrandize
ment and selfish purposes, yet declaring all the
time too, that he was not a candidate, though
the ballots in the Allentown and Norristown
Conferences show that he intended to be, and
tam a candidate alt the time that others fell in
with it to protect themselves and in order not
to place themselves antagonististic to their
county. It is a fact that dare not be disputed
that there were delegates, one or more, in the
Conferences at Allentown and Norristown,
who considered that the nomination should
be conceded to Dr. Acker and Who were
ready and willing to vote for him on every
ballot right from the start, but were prevented
from so doing by the county, feeling, thus first
set up by Stiles, and by the direct influence
and threats on the part of those,pho had de •
termined to defeat Dr. Acker's renomination
even at the risk of having a Radical elected
from this District.
"William H. Witte, as the story goes, had
agreed to take the nomination for Vico Presi•
dent from the "Labor Reformers" and after
ward to be endorsed by the Louisville
"Stralght-outers." To draw him off from
this, not to say to buy him from this course,
and get his support for Greeley and Brown, it
is stated Samuel J. Randall, promised to have
him put on the list of State, Speakers of course
with expenses paid, and to have him made the
compromise candidate for Congress in the
Sixth District. Then matters run so as to
keep Montgomery and Lehigh "by the care"
and apart,—and then it happened in the course
of things that the conference met at Norris.
town and broke up without making a nom illa
tion Dr. Acker remaining as the regular nom
inee of the party of the county ; Witte persist

As already said, he can thank Hon. John D.
Stiles, the (Allentown Ring) and other parties
and nobody else under Heaven. Had it not
been for the maccliniations of these parties,
a harmonious Democratic nomination would
have been made, the right would have pro

What Ix the Effect of Counterfeit Money
Among the distinguished writers of this
country upon economic subjects—trade, cur
rency and finance—Dr. Leiter wee preemi
nent.. A careful observer of facts, every dis
criminating in his judgement, just and logical
in his conclusions, his writings will always
be regarded with great respect. Only a few
days before his death, says a Massachusetts
exchange, ho sent the following proposition
to a gentleman in this State who has devoted
himself especially for many years, to the study
of the money question :
"If the mere Increase of paper money can
really augment the wealth of a nation, and if
a return to specie payment, or to paper that
really presents values, can Injure it, then it
plainly follows that, In point oftuditical econ
omy, there can be no harm In counterfeits.
The more counterfeit, the greater the wealth.
To this the pesos addressed prepared the
following reply, which In consequence of the
announcement of tho doctor's decease, was not
forwarded :
" Counterfeit notes, so far as they pass cur
rent as money, augment the wealth of the no.
lion just as much as the present parr money
of the United States. The destruction of 100
millions of dollars in counterfeits, If so many
were in circulation, would Injure the county
to the same extent as the withdrawal of 100
millions of national bank notes—no more, no
less: but of course the country could not be
benefitted by the Issue, or injured by the w It It
drawal of either.
On the other hand, the issue of the irredeem
able paper money, counterfeit or genuine
alike, expels an eqtfal amount of specie front
the country without returning an equivalent
value, and by enhancing the cost of produc.
Hon; by artificially raising the nominal rate of
wages and the normal rate of interest upon
capital (as we see at the present time), pre
vents an advantageous competition with for
