Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Threat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronohitis, Asthma,
and Collsumption.
. .
surely and effectually
control them. The testimony of our best citi
zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that
CHERRY PECTORAL will and does relieve and
cure the afflicting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any ether medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consump.
tion, cured by this preparation, are public
ly known, so remarkable ns h ardly to be be
lieved, were they not proven beyond dispute.
As a remedy it is adequate, oil which the public
mayrely for full protection. By curing Coughs,
thet'orerunners of more serious disease, it saves
unnumbered lives, and an amount of suffering
not to be computed. It chnllonges trial, and con
vinces the most sceptical. Every fatuity should
keep it on lined as a protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affections,
which are easily met at first, but which become
incurable, and too often fatal, If neglected. Ten
der lungs need this defence; and it Is unwise to
be without it. As a safeguard to children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset the Throat
and Chest of childhood, CHERRY PECTORAL
is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multi
tudes aro rescued from premature graves, and
saved to the love and affection centred on them.
. -
It acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds,
securing sound end health-restoring sleep. No
ono will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain
ful Bronchitis, when they know how easuy
thai Can be cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical Investigation, no cost or toll
Is spared in making everybottle In the utmost
possible perfection. It may be'' confidently re.
lied upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited, and capable of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

Hair Vigor,
For restoring to Gray Hair its
natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing'
which is at
once agreeable,
healthy, an d
effectual f o
preserving the
hair. It soon
restores faded
or gray hair
to its original
_ color, with the
gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and baldnesS often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where tho follicles are de
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can he
saved by this application, and stimu
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
Inca, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests„ and prevents the forma
tion of dandruff, which is often so un
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and injn 7
riot's co the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
. .
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glo.
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

Heavy and dark like eerements ;
Silent, but round bar the air
Plaintively walls "Mlserara I"
Proud, like a beautiful maiden,
Art—like from forehead to feet,
Was she still pressed like a lemon
Close to the breast of the demon,
Lusting for one so sweet ;
Bo were her shoulders laden.
Friend she had, rich In her treasures :
So all the old taunt be true—
Fallen they turn their cold faces,
Beddow now wealth-gilded places,
Saying, we never knew
Aught of her smiles or her pleasures ?

Wrapped in her lire•seathed sheet ;
Around her, thank God I Is the Nation,
Weeping for her desolation,
Pouring its gold at her feet ;
Answering her "A:hearer° I"
O broad-breasted Queen among Nations I

To tear the strong heart from oar city,

An occasional contributor to the Indepen
dent, who has access to the literary circles of I
Great Britain, sends some interesting gossip
anent a few•liferary notabilities of the Old I
World, where he is at'present sojourning. He I
thus writes of some English authors:
Carlyle, now nearly four-score years of age,
has entirely abandoned writing, but appears
occasionally in society, and talks as vigorous- I
ly as over. He is often to be seen in the Ken- I
sington district of London walking with Wit- I
liamAllingham, the poet, who is one of the
editors of Fraser's Magazine, the other editor
being James Anthony Fronde, the historian,
now on the eve of his departure for New York.
John Ruskin has been absent from Engle. d ,
all the summer. Tennyson was so eveirun
with lion-hunters, chiefly American, that he
rented his beautiful place on the Isle of Wight
for the summer, to escape the periodical of
fiction which continues during the months of
June, July, August and September, and took
refuge in a hilly and inaccessible district of
Surrey, where he is perfectly safe from the
moat determined hunters. Professor Blank.,
of Ediburgh, and Robert Buchanan, the poet.
have summer residences at Obau, on the west
coast of Scotland. The latter is the owner of
a handsome yacht, in which he spends a great
port'on of the summer days. Philip James
Batley, the author of "Foetus," had a narrow
escape from drowning at Whitby a few days
since. Hie great poem passed through seven
editions in England, and probably as many
more in the United States, S. C. Hall, the
veteran author and editor,has made his friend,

Thackeray's son-in-law is the present editor
of the Cornhiil Magazine, and his daughter,

After a pleasant lunch last week with one of
the fellows of some college at Oxford,occupy
fog an oak seat two hundred years old, and
sipping my ale out of a silver tankard of the
same age, we visited the Bodleian Library,
where, on a asking for Bryant's translation of
Homer, of which I had be speaking to my
friend, we were gravely asked, "What Bry

and suggestive of the question whether we
men might not riot govern Greece better titan
its men. One of the curses of modern Hellas,
as everybody knows, is the unextlrpated guild
of brigands, who infest the land, defying the
government, suppressing cJmmerce, demora
Bring the peasantry, and robbing and murder
ing strangers or rich:natives. One of these un
hempld villains lately captured the youthful
son of.a widow woman of property, well
known upon the border.
The usual message was sent down from the
hills : the brigand chief must have one thou
sand drachmas by a certain day, or the life of
the boy—he was only twelve years old—
would pay the forfeit. As usual, too, the last
hope which a mother could cherish in such a
+frightful position was the chance of govern
ment help. The wretchedly weak admints
trattoria which play at "In'and out" in Athens
still allow these scoundrels to hold the roads
and passes of the country, and this poor wo
man had to trust to her courage an i wits.
Neither wore wanting ; there was some true
old Odyssean blood in her, and she hit upon a
plan for saving both her child and her drach
mas. She had a brother, a young fellow of
perfect pluck, though his cheeks were as
smooth as the Dalian Apollo's, and him she
dressed up carefully as a Greek girl. Havlrg
appointed to meet the robber chief in a certain
spot, she took up two hundred drachmas and
a present of cakqe and fruit, the "Greek,glrl"
going with her as a "guide." On reaching
the place they found the scoundrel waiting,
with the captive lad bound hand and foot be
side him. The woman that ascertained by
cunning questions that the man was really
alone, and then offered, with many supplica
tions, her money and the present of cakes and
fruit. The villain took the latter and munch
ed wile he counted out the drachmas; then,
with a fierce oath, he said it was far to little—
that dm must go back and send enough to
make a thousand, or the head of the lad world
be sent to her without delay. While the wo
man clung supplicating to his knees, the
"Greek girl" suddenly flung a grip of iron
round the robber's arms, and, as the fellow
was thus pinioned, the outraged mother drew
a loaded pistol and shot him dead. The pair
lost no time in liberating the lad, nor did they
forget to cut off and wrap in a cloth the head
of the "chief;" and, as a reward of three
thousand drachmas has been set upon this
precious article, they made quite an excellent
day's business of it, on arriving safe and sound
at their own village.—London Telegraph.

are as follows: Mr. Joseph McDaniel, of
North Sewickley township, this county, was
bitten by one of these polsonous,reptiles about
thirty yeays ago. The snake Struck him In

that he would die from the effect of the
wound. He lived, however, but for a greet

Ave or six times each yiar, and he would be
eonfined to his home for weeks at a time.
Then the swelling would leave the limb, and
Mr. M. would go iOnt as usual. These al

LIFE IN ABYSSINIA.
Army, Government, and Manners of Prince
Kasantte Land—Strength of the Army and Its
Constitution, ete., etc.
The London Daily Telegraph gives the fol
lowing interesting account of recent doings in
Abyssinia, and of the mode of life pursued by
the natives :
Since the time when Prince Massa{ was pro
claimed sovereign riPthe,whole kingdom of
Abyssinia under the title of King Johannes,
his NtaJesty has built palaces at Gondar, the
capital of the Amharaic provinces, and at
Adonna, in Tigre. These buildings, like all
the rest of the dwellings In Abyssinia, are con
structed of stones and mud, are but one story
high, destitute of windows, and are covered
with thatch. There, as in more highly-civil
ized regions, the residence of the court draws
round a number of settlers, and these In the
region under notice build houses for them
selves and become permanent residents.- In
this way Adnwa and Gondar have of late con•
siderably Increased In size. After occupying
his official residence for some time, the King,
when removing from the place, not unfre
quently converts his palace into a church, and
gives a fair strip of laud around for the sup
port of the priesthood. The !and is generally
let to respectable persona, who occupy a posi
tion corresponding to that of asmall farmer or
cotter, and who pay one-tenth of the produce
of their land to the support of the ecclesiastical
establishment. High priests are appointed by
the King himself; priests in ordinary are se
lected by the bishop. The people are particu
lar in their observance of Sabbaths and fast
days, and are scrupulous in their regard for the
sanctity of the sacrament.
With regard to the strength of the native
army, General Kirkham estimates that the
king could, in all probability, bring Into the
field from 120,000 to 150,000 men on an ordi
nary occasion •, but in case of a war, to secure
the integrity of the whole country as against
Mohammedan rule, he has no doubt that every
man capable of bearing arms would be ready
to join the force without any pressure on' the
king's part. Memelek, King of Shot: ; War
remah, Governor of the Raas of Amhara, and
Ali Berrou, the ruler of Goodjam, have each
and all expressed their readiness to fight under
Johannes In case of any extensive Mohamme
dan Invasion. The soldiers are argaod with the
English Tower musket, double-barreled guns
of German make, and a few English single•
barreled guns, matchlocks, flint and steel guns.
spears, swords, axes and shields. Gunpowder
is manufactured in the country, bat Is not
grained, and is about seven degrees weaker
than English powder. Percussion caps are
imported. The cavalry forms a very strong
arm of the service, and is exceedingly well
mounted on high-spirited and handy little na
tive horses, supposed to be descended from the
old stock of the barbs of the higher countries
of Egypt. The Gallas, especially are masterly
riders. _ _ -
Internal government Is conducted by the
rulers of provinces, who receive from holders
of land one fifth of the produce, and who pay
one•tenth to the King. Every man is bound
to servo In the army, If wanted, sod all from
their youth up are necessarily trained to arms,
if only for the purposes of their own defense
from local invaders. About 2,400 infantry and
5,000 cavalry are employed as the King's
Guard. Each prince of the province maintains
as many soldiers as he can. The soilof Attys.
sinia is of a most fertile nature. lied and black
. „
loam, heavy clay, chalk, sandy soil, and elate
are found In different regions. Land is culti :
voted with a rude, home-made plow of wood
tipped with iron, and draW . ll by two or four
oxen. Farms pass from father to son, the
holder paying, as already mentioned.onedenth
of the produce to the King and one fifth to the
governor of the province. Dwellings are
built to contain barn, stables, mill, kitchen, or
cooking-place, and living-mom, all under one
root. Light is admitted by apertures ludiffer
ently protected ; but as the climate is mild and
warm, little if any inconvenience is felt front
drafts. Whole families eat, drink, and sleep
to the same room, the beds of the different
members of the household being merely sepa
rated by cotton curtains. Youths of both sexes
mix freely in sports in the villages, hut care is
taken to check Immorality, aud, as a rule, the

favorably in this respect. The young women,

five feet to five feet five inches in height, and
they have remarkably small hands and feet
and well rounded limbs. Their skins are of a

the regular dress 01 a woman is a sheet of
white cotton covering all the person from the
neck to the ankle. The Match, or Bilk cord.,
Is worn round the neck ns a token of Christi
anity. Ladies of higher rank wear a mantle
as well, ornamented with Jewelry ot eilver and
gold, and have shoes on their feet. ir he poor
er class go barefooted. There are in G ct, but
two classes In the country—the governers and
the governed. The men are wiry and agile,
keen in the chase, and clever in feats& horse
manship, but are lazy In po'ut of industry—
the fruitful land yielding them all that they
require with very little labor.
Marriages are arranged Ly the parents of
bride and bridegroom, the young people being
generally disposed of in matrimony about the
ages of sixteen or seventeen. A prime c,,u
sideration is that each of the contracting par
ties shall be able Wining lute, the matrimonial
engagement ant qual amount of puss salons
in cattle, horses, grain, or other property.
These little matters being settled satisfactorily
between the parents, the consent of the priests
and elders of the village Is obtained, and a
day is fixed for the ceremony. On that day
feasts are made at the houses of the parents
of the bride and bridegroom, each party giving
the best entertainment they can afford, and to
ailing as many Mende as they can. After the
feast the bridegroom goes to the house of the
bride, where the priests gives her to him, and
he takes her home. A peculiar provision,the
prudence of which in more civilized countries
might be doubtfully regarded,is made In Abys
sinian contracts of marriage. If, after living
together for some time, the husband and wife
do not agree, the husband gives back the
property the woman brought with her, and
then goes to the priest and asks for a septet a
don ; but so little is this liberty taken advan
tage of that only two cases of separation came
under the notice of Kirkham during his five
years residence In the country. When the
married pair have taken the sacrament, how
ever, as they usually do two or three years
after marriage, no legal separation can take
place between them. In cases where a family
may have come before separation, the husband
keeps the boys and the wife takes away the
girls. A child born out of wedlock, if a boy,
must be supported by the father—when he can
be found ; if a girl, the mother is burdened
with the sole charge.
The staple article of diet 18 a kind of light,
spongy bread, made from a email kind of grain
called taff. A quantity is ground Into meal
between the two atones which form the mill,
is then mixed with water, and left for about
twelve hours to ferment. More flour, water
and salt are then added, and the mass is baked
nn the fire in the same way as is pancake. A
kind of curry, made of the meal ,of a grain
called gram, mixed with beans, peas, vegeta
hies, oil, and beef, mutton, or fowls, and spiced
with red pepper, forms another and more sa
vory and substantial part of the meal. On
fast•days only one repast per diem is taken,
and the meet is omitted from the cury. The
family at meal times squat themselves on a
mat around the caldron, and each help him
self with his fingers or with rude wooden
spoons.
Wine is made from honey fermented with a,
plant called gasho, which is not unlike Eng
lish hops, and has much the same power.
These being mixed with water, cleared of the
wax, and left in an air tight jar for three or four
days, makes a sweet and palatable wine of no
great strength. In ten or twelve, days the
wine would become very good • vinegar. A
sparkling wine is made of the same juices by
a longer process; brandy of fair strength and
quality is also distilled from the wing In the
proportion of one bottle to the gallon, the
wine being worth about one shilling Inglish
per gallon. Among the higher classeetwheat
bread flavored with Braces and roasted wheat
are used• Vegetables aro but scantily cmt•
sumed, though a kind of potato grows in as
almost wild state. Fruits are abundant: The
natives invariably retire at sunset and rise
with the return of day.. -

the opinion he had farmed, yet he could try
the case strictly according to the evidence.

The main point in the ease was the alleged

would be of a very serious nature, but after
examining the affidavits upon the Court was
of opinion that they gave no ground whatever
for entering Into an investigation of the sub

A Hurried Courtship
A. Dundee gentleman, occupying a comfort
able position In society, lately resolved in a
somewhat sudden manner, that he should se
cure to himself a wife. As this gentl•man's
acquaintance among the fair sex of Dundee
was limited, his thoughts naturally reverted to
the many acqnaintances be had left some years
ago in his native valley of Strathmore when
he migrated to Dundee. From among these
be resolved to try and secure his future help
meet, and accordingly one (lay lately he betook
himeeif once again to the land of his nativity.
Having picked out some u(olf dozen blooming
maidens of the "Howe," to any one of whom
he was quite pro-pared to make a present ot his
heart and hand, he with a business like ener
gy that could only have been learned in Dun
dee, set about securing his partner. Whether
the ladies had been previously engaged, or
whether they did not approve of this eager
style of wooing, we canrot say, but certain tt
is that at first this ardent gentleman met with
but Indifferent success. He popped the mo
mentous question to five of those contrary
maidens in vain, each one declining to give
the answer ho wanted on the spot. But as his
purpose was firm,and his heart strong,he went
forward nothing daunted, and in .be course
of a few boors from the commencement of his
pursuit of a bride, ho at last overcame the coy
scruples ot one of the young ladles, from
whose lips ho obtained the much desired
"yes." He at once entered Into arrangements
for the matrimonial alliance, and returned to
his employment in the town in the evening.
Extensive preparations for the wedding are
now going on, and before long the two will

THE LASH
Bight Persona Flogged and YUforted at Nato
Casita—(7fadOsation Os Delaware. "
The Wilmington Commercial of the 25th
eaye
Eight men—seven colored and one white—
were pilloried and whipped, at New Castle, on
Saturday. The punishment took place in the
courtyard of the county prison, as usual. It
was Inflicted, according to law, by the Sheriff
of the county,, and as ho is just elected, and
entering on the duties of his office, there was
an unusual public curiosity to see the perform-
BOW.
The pillorying began at 10 o'clock. Previ
ous to this hour,a large crowd assembled out
side the gates the court-yard, and when
they were opened, rushed Inside. The num•
bar Of theta - spectators was, at one time, prob
ably three hundred, including men,
women,
and children. litany of them seemed to espe
cially enjoy the proceeding, and as each cul
prit was fastened up tobe whipped, the crowd
closed In around the Sheriff to get n better
view.
Sheriff Armstrong, except in the cases of
Cooley and Stottlold, the former of whom
manifested an audacious impudence,
used the
lash with moderated force, and it was said
showed greater humanity than has been usual.
Edward Green, a young mulalto,rather deli
cats, whose crime was the larceny of a band
uniform, was brought trembling to the post.
The twenty lashes of the " cat" wore laid on
rather lightly, yet prodnoing much distress.
The flesh quivered and the tears flowed freely.
He was then returned to his cell to remain six
months and wear a " convict's jacket" six
months after discharged.
The next man "posted" was Henry C. Stat
field, a colored man, for the larceny of a horse.
While In the pillory, one hour previous to the
whipping, Henry was inclined to be merry
and to make the beet of the situation laughing,
and conversing with a companion in the
" yoke." In this case the tionty lashes were
applied with more vigor than in the first case.
raising the blood, and causing the prisoner to
flinch considearbly, hilt not even a . groan or
cry escaped his lips. This man returned to
his cell to remain three years.
The next man whipped was John Houinson
colored, for charges of larceny and ono of
highway robbery. After au hour In the pil
lory, he was fastened up and received sixty
lashes, "well laid on." This punishment pro
duced no other sign of pain than a alight jerk
ing of the musalee. •
Prettyfoot Conley, a light mulatto, for the
same offence as the above, stood one hour in
the pillory and was whipped sixty lashes.
This man came from his cell apparently en
joying that part he was to act, and admitted
his guilt and expressed his willingness to take
the consequences, and to 'bear it like a man.'
In the pillory, the hour of real physical suf
fering was spent in laughing and joking with
a companion in crime, perfectly indifferent to
the punishment being inflicted. The whip
ping was borne in the same manner, although
the lashes were well laid on," causing the
blood to flow with each blow ofthe lash, the
fl eh being badly lacerated. When loosed
from the post, Cooley jumped up striking his
heels together, saying, "I told you I was the
man to stand it," and was , then returned to
his cell for three years.
Charles Williams, colored, for the same of
fence, as the two former cases, stood in the
pilory one hour, and received sixty lashes.
In this case the prisoner showed evident signs
of pain by flinching and twitching of the nuts
clef. This man, also, remains in prison for
three years.
William Benton, colored, for the larceny of•
a door mat , received twenty lashes, hearing it
firmly, withont a groan or cry. The comple
tion of hie sentence. Is six months imprison.
meat, and a convict's jacket six months there
after.
Thomas Dixon, a colored man, for larceny,
was whipped with twenty lashes. The effect
was not especially noticable. Six months
more in prison, and to wear a convict's jack•
et six months thereafter, is the penalty in
Thomas's case.
The last case on exhibition was that of John
Caldwell, a white man charged with the lar
ceny of a horse. The prisoner is rather an in
telligent and respectable looking man of about
80 years, for whom there appeared to he more
than ordinary sympathy oxpressed by the as.
sembled crowd. He stood ono hour in the
pillory, and received twenty lashes, but mod
erately applied, each blow, however, produc
ed blood. The punishment was borne without
a murmur, and Caldwell returned to his cell
for three years.
110 W BRUIN WAS CAUGHT.
O'Brien's Menagerie had gone into winter
quarters at Girard,and among the pets belong
ing to that concern is a good sized black bear,
which was chained in the yard of the Avenue
House. The house was built on a side hill ;
and to go to the her-room from the roadway it
is necessary to ascend a flight of steps set on
the slope. A day or two ago there was a jol.
ly party assembled in the bar-room, among
whom was Colonel Swan and Billy Ellison,
of North East, Jim Wadsivorth, of Girard,
and half a dozen more equally well-known
denizens of the county. During a lull in talk
about politics Col. Swan went to look at the
bear, going to close, as the bar-keeper thought
but Swan didn't heed the admonition, and the
bear made a plunge at him with such force
that he broke the chain. The gallant colonel
made the livllest time to the bar-room, dis
tancing the bear at the first jump.—Bruin
finding himself at liberty, began to put on
lordly airs, and trotted round the yard in
search of some one to hug. The place was
feneed with the exception of the stairway to
the street, and a man with a pitchfork Jumped
on that to dispute Bruin's passage, should lie
try it. The others got hold of clubs, ppokers,
hoes, and anything handy for weapons, and
'Wadsworth was SO lucky as to secure a fish
spear. The "magic touch of elbows" inspired
courage, and the men began to advance on the
bear in platoons, Bruin slowly retreating as
mong so many he didn't know which to hug
first. In this State of indecision he finally
turned round and trotted into hie kennel.
"I've got him," shouted Jim Wadsworth, a
he Jumped to the front m , and presented his fly
pronged spear at themouth of Bruin's do
The echo hadn't died away before the spec
was broken in two or three pieces, and ti
bear turned Wadsworth a back somereat
and rolled over him.
The astonishment and scare was mut
but the bear was up first, and be char
through the line, heedless of "belts" f
clubs, and made for a rear fence. Hero
unseientific construction of the fence got
better of him. At the corner where he m
ed, the bottom of the post was close to a atone
wall, bet the top leaned to the eastward co as
to leave an opening like the letter V, and in
the bear's hurry he dropped hie fist body into
the gap, wedging it flmt. His forelegs were
dangling on the side where liberty awaited
him, but his hind legs were still in the yard.
Comprehending Bruin's situation at a glance,
Wadsworth grabbed one of the hind legs and
pulled as though he meant to tear the log out.
The bear tried to turn to bite this source of
annoyance, but he could not reach far enough
and In his fury ho tore big chunks out or the
top fence Laud with hie teeth, and broke one
tooth trying to bite the top of the post off. A
cozen bed-cords, and as many trace chains as
could be found, were brought, and after Ind.
olte trouble slip nooses were got into the bears
mouth, and when he was trussed up like
mummy, flee or six man lifted him out. But
lie was not conquered ; and of this gave
dence when the party tried tried to remove
some of the ropes, an operation that was no
eemeary before he could be properly chained
again. Finally some one sent for Charles
Forepaugh, the lion tamer, and he took the
ropes off, put the chains on, add fastened the
beast to his kennel.—Pris Dispatch.
