Mr. Sheldon is to get out tiiis week is to have a sort of rival in the Atchison Company, which during the saint' time "will be conducted as the devil would run it." This ought to be easy, especi ally il the editor is tube the printer's devil. Up along the Juniata River, -ay-the rlarrisburg "Telegraph," mud turtles are caught and sold for S"J a dozen. In Philadelphia the "red legs" are advertised as "Juniata terrapin at ?" cents each." This recalls a banquet of some years ago given by a Philadelphia newspaper man, when the Juniata "snappers" were dished up under the name of Maryland terrapin at $80 a dozen. The guests did not know the diller enoe. More recent returns from the scenes of the Indian troubles are to the efiect that the Indiana are only too glad to keep the peace. It is a singular tact that with no American army in the country at all the red nu n plod peaceably along in their iwn walks, paying no attention whatever to the whites. The fields still yield them mazie, the for'sts ' me uuti the streams all the fish t.u-y require. May it not be the quest on is asked in all seriousness t.l jt General Sheridan erred when he declared that the only good Indian was a dead Indian? Remembering Penn and the peaceful relations of the settlers of this colony the theory becomes decidedly plausible. From Philadelphia Inquirer. It begins to look as if (he Honor able Thaddeus M. Mahon would have easy sailing in the 18th district this year. The 18th tlistrict, as I evcrv student of contemporary poll-1 tios knows, is composed of several counties, Union, Snyder, Mifflin, Juniata, Huntingdon, Fulton and j Franklin. Ol these seven Ullioill and Snyder have already declared at the primaries that they are for Ma hon, and they made the vote unan imous on the Congressional issue. Franklin will be for him, of course,! so that he will not be compelled to work any harder than the law pre- scribes in order to win. Ol Hunt ington we do not yet care to say much. The insurgent barrel has already been opened there. Jtitlge Umbel, of the Fayette County court, is new to a jurist's re sponsi blilities and powers, as he w as only elected to the bench last mil. Yet it can scarcely lie gainsaid, by the better thinking public of the State, that bis instructions to the grand jury to bring about an enforce ment of the law against profanity on the Streets was a judicious interven tion. In recognition of the young jurist's remark- in os'ii court, the burgess of Cniontownat once direct ed his police to arrest all offenders in this respect without distinction. No one will question that if the proper authorities throughout Penn sylvania were to emulate the ex ample set in Fayette that there would Ire a far healthier moral sent iment accomplished. Aside from the 'liristian view of profane utterances, the habit savors of the coarse and vulgar, ami the expressions grate harshly upon the ears of a large ma jority of people. The law provides means of protection against such in trusions, but like many other statutes there arc no authorities require.) to enforce tin; mandate. Policemen feel that they are expected to pre serve the peace, and the serenity is so rarely disturbed that patrolmen have time to spare for mediation. f '1 herefore, if the mayor of the Bute's towns would instruct these officers (like in Qniootowu) to arrest all who publicly indulge in nrnfani tv, many citizens would value po licemen s service the more anil the local exchequers would be materi ally increased from fines imposed. $100 REWARD $100.

First, you think it is a little cold; nothing but a little hack ing cough ; then a little loss in weight: then a harder cough; then the fever and the night sweats. The suddenness cornea when you have a hemorrhage. Better stop the disease while it is yet creeping. You can do it with Aycr's Cherry pectoral Yoa first notice that you cough less.
