A remedy that can destroy the germs ol scrofula, and when once settled has the power to root it out, must be appreciated by those afflicted. The remarkable cures ol young children and the more wonderful cures ol those ot middle age and late in life, as illustrated by our printed testimonials, prove Hood's Sarsapahiixa to be a reliable remedy, containing remedial agents which do positively cure scrofula and eradicate It from the blood. Wahxer, N. H., Jan. 21, 1879. Messrs. C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: Gentlemen For ten years previous to the. early part of 1877 1 had been a constant sufferer from scrofulous ulcers or sores, which had finally reduced me to a helpless condition, as described in my letter to von in iSep-temberof that year. The continued excellent health which enables me to keep house for my aged father and to enjoy life, keeps alive my intense personal interest in Hood's SAiiSAPAitiLLA.and 1 cannot refrain from expressing my gratitude for the permanent cure this wonderful medicine eff-'cted in my case nearly two years a;;o, while living in Lowell, wlion all my physicians gave me up as being in an incurable condition. One thing before I close. I have recommended your Sarsaparilla to hundreds, and I think more than a thousand cases, and my faith in its invincibility in curing scrofula has become absolute by the wonderful cures it has etrected aside from my own. I trust you will not be slow in making the merits o Hood's Sarsaparilla known everywhere, for it is a duty you owe to mankind. Witb best wishes 1 remain Tery truly yours, sabau c. 'Whither.

Dsmocrat i WatGbman Ex-Gov. St. John, of Kansas, says that the Republican party must accept Prohibition or death. Gov. Butler, of Massachusetts, has nominated Calvin G. Walker, a colored lawyer, justice of the Charleston dis trict court. The Republican campaign text book for 1884 should contain the Dprsey rev elations, also the speeches made at the Dorsey banquet. The official vote for Governor of Ken tucky, is as follows : J. Proctor Knott (Dem.), 133.615; T. Z. Morrow, (Rep.) ,181. Knott's majority, 44,434. The vitalizing essence of the Repub lican party, of to-day is plunder. The objective point of the Republican politician is spoils, says tha Crawfordsville (Ind.) Review. The quarter-centenary of Martin Luther was commemorated at Wit tenberg, Prussia, 13th inst. Over one thousand clergymen, from all parts of Germany were present. The Prohibitionists and Women Suff ragists are having a good time out in Dakota in the endeavor to get their peculiar ideas incorporated Into the proposed State Constitution. The Steubenville Gazette says: The temptation of large sums ot money lying around loose in banks has ruined many a Sunday School Superintendent. Therefore the banks must go. Another good man gone w rong Lee You, an honest and industrious Phila-delphiaChiuaman.hasbeen naturalized, joined a Republican club, and announces his intention to vote the "stlait lepublican ticket.'' The Mt. Vernon Banner says: If the Republicans are honest and sincere in their love for Prohibition, why don't they abandon the corrupt, rickety, Republican party, and go over body and breeches to the Prohibitionists? Turn the Rascals Out. From a Speech at Cincinnati, by Hon. W. S. Groesbeck. The fable goes that the Augean stables were continually occupied for thirty years without being once cleansed, and so became very foul. The Executive Department of the Government has been continuously occupied by the Republican party for nearly a quarter of a century. We know something of the foul accumulations dur. ing that time, of Whisky -Rings, of Credit Motiliers, and Star Route plunderings. What other hidden impurities may be festering within it we now know not. There is a feeling of distrust, and a fear that there are more. But these are enough, and the time has fully come when there should be a thorough house cleaning of the en tire political structure. The Republicans have refused to do this work and insist that the present occupants shall not be disturbed. In order, therefore, that it may be done there must be a change of administration.

He only wants you to throw away your vote, while he will vote the straight Republican ticket. That's one ot their old tricks. The Baltimore Day has a clear impression of a growing design by the Republican party to curtail suffrage where it cannot control it, and make itself the tool and slave of corporate wealth, to which it now almost openly looks to furnish the money with which it is. to buy power, and which did buy power for it in 1S80 by the purchase of Garfield's election to the presidency. Gov. Foster is straining every nerve j to capture the Legislature of Ohio and the United State Senatorship, and is leaving nothing undone that can be done in his behalf. The Republican campaign is his. He has the machinery of the party and is using its public men.

Durbin Ward, in his speech, at Marion, impressed most earnestly up on the minds of Democrats the great importance of energetic work this fall for every man on the State and county ticket. That no Democrat should he lacking in duty this fall; that all per sonal feelings should be laid aside and a straight vote given for the straight Democratic ticket, then all can come together and rejoice over a complete victory. For- The New York Sun says : 'Mr aker is a more pawn on the political chessboard, played by Foster, who cares little about the question who shall be Governor. All his ell'orts are concen trated on securing a Kepublican Legis- ture, which would give him Pendle-ton's place in the Senate in March 1S85 The Kepublican nomination j for mem bers of the Legislature slio v Foster's hand in many counties, and they also show that he has been liberal in the use of persuasive influences." The St. Louis Republican says, such a campaign as that made by the Republi cans in Ohio, "must be the outgrowth of desperation. It is such as reckless men make when they feel like better methods are not available. Experience has not shown that this character of campaign is wise, but juat as a drowning man will clutch at the air above him, knowing if he still has his senses, that the struggle only sinks him deeper, a political party fearing defeat will do-crease its chances of success by the use of the weapons of weakness." The Stark County Democrat says : A united front on the part of Democrats is important. It is the way to success ; and success this year will lead to success next, which is the Presidential year. For these reasons we must have har mony and united work. Every Demo crat should do his duty now and on ward. .Let there be no laggards, no guerrillas, no boltars. Ohio is a battle field, and our opponents understand this and are vigilant. Let us meet them with vigilance ana energy; ana so, once again, secure victory. Let every Democrat vote the full ticket, and we will not only astonish our opponents, but astonish ourselves. The Tnlgar Rich. There are many cultivated people in America. Once they were chiefly in the old towns by the Atlantic seaboard, or in country villages formerly settled by persons who belonged to the old colonial families, but now they are scattered in separate homes all over the country. They do not make an aristocracy, not even an educated aristocracy of letters, but in their positive character, in their ability to make centers of refinement in new quarters they constitute a class by themselves, and in earlier days made a aeep impression upon the commu nity, even as they make an impression now that is perhaps even more real than ever before. The moneyed aris tocracy grew up during and since the war, and is now vulgarizing every thing with which it comes in contact The people inflated by sudden wealth and placed in positions which they are too ignorant to appreciate and understand command altogether too much attention -from the public. They are the fruit of democracy and equality, and represent nothing but the wealth they have suddenly acquired. They are largely in excess of the educated class, and, by the necessity of the case, make much more noise and give too much present tone to public manners and morals. They abound in our cities and larger towns, and vulgarize everything they come m contact with. So far. as money can obtain things they have what money can obtain. They ransack Europe and America for coarse sensations, and ape the foibles j of an aristocracy whose hands they are quite too plebeian to touch. Uur distinctions, which are as real in democratic society as in any olher, are based quite as much upon sudden wealth and the purchasing power of money as upon the selective principle wmcn always places the best in the position where what is best influence both public and private life. Our problem to-day, in Mr. Arnold's phrase, is "secondary instruction." It is the problem of educating our moneyed people into some idea of what is befitting their positions. To day society is full of the rich vulgar. People who have wealth, however, sooner or later discover, or their chil dren discover, the value of educated intelligence, and it is largely through our American institutions of education that our social life is to be uplifted and improved. It may seem that this is a slow and scattered way of accomplishing a specific object, but whoever will study our American home life will soon perceive that where the prime factor is equality of political and, very largely, social condition, and persons are constantly changing places in life, the only means by which social conditions are to be improved is the general education of the people Our class distinctions are well enough if we do not cause our really best people to be set aside or put out of their proper place. It may be that the domineering of wealth will by and by pale away before the true aristoc racy of the worthiest people, which is the only aristocracy that America is ever likely to tolerate, as the false or the pretentious gradually yields to the true and the real, but thers is no way in which the class distinctions among us may be so truly accommodated to the spirit of our institutions as to make them depend upon the substan tial things disclosed to young and growing minds in the best secondary instruction which can be obtained Our moneyed people are, often, inefficient to-day, because the common school has not done its work for them, but with a properly educated intelligence, as expansive as it is honest and generous, what is now worst in Amer ican society will as surely disappear as the dew hastens out of sight before the rays of the rising sun. Boston Herald. The regular local editor having been temporarily called away, he asked the religious editor to "sub" for him. Ihis he did, and the following is his report of the game : "A very refreshing season of base ball was experienced in the Capitoline Vineyard, yesterday afternoon, affording exceeding unction to a congregation of fully 2,000 souls. Brother Murphy, of the Brooklyn class, first wielded the rod, even as did Moses at the Rock of waters, and smitiDg the ball with a prodigious smite, was richly blessed with two bases. It then became the privilege of Brother Fitzgerald to-stand forth, but despite his most fervent efforts, Divine Providence interfered with a foul tip, and the brother harvested naught. During this season Brother Murphy had experienced a change of bases, garnering unto himself the third thereof, whereat there was great rejoicing, mingled with lamentation and rending of garments among the disciples of the conflicting tribes. At this critical point in the salvation of the class Brother Maloney came among them as a physician of souls, but the sheaves of great rejoicing Were not for him. Like Jacob he wrestled and like Nathan he fell, for his adversaries were plenteous and their wisdom that of the serpent, forasmuch when he smote the ball so that it soared, they that were as Philistines unto him did congregate around about that the ball might not escape them, and did hold forth each man his hands, until their fingers, in number were like unto the lilies of the valley, and they seized the ball and bore it thence in triumph. "In this, the eleventh hour, Brother Gillhooley essayed through ineffectual smiting to turn back the host that be set his brethren, and save unto Brother Murphy the rich harvest of his frequent exertions by welcoming him to the haven of the home plate. But his enemies prevailed against him, so that when the ball was driven from him by a mighty cast of the bat, they threw it with marvelous directness un to one of their number, yea, even un to him who was upon the first of the bases, and he smote Brother Gillhooly hip and thigh, so that he fell, and the great nign priest cried aloud in a great voice, saying "All out !" Carljie arid Circumstances. Carlyle owed everything to his power of will and to his unflinching adhe rence to principle. He was in no sense a lucky man, had no good for tune, was borne by no current, was favored and helped by no circumstance whatever. His life from the first was a steady pull against both wind and tide. He confronted all the cherished thoughts, beliefs, tendencies of his time ; he spurned and in sulted his age and country. No man ever before poured out such withering scorn upon his contemporaries. The opinions and practices of his times in politics, religion and literature were as a stubbly, brambly field, to which he would fain apply the match and clean the ground for a nobler crop." He would purge and fertilize the soil by fire. His attitude was at once like that of the old prophets, one of warning and rebuking. He was refused every public place he ever aspired to every college and editorial chair. Every man s hand was against him. He was hated by the Whigs and feared by the Tories. He was poor, proud, uncompromising, sarcastic ; he was morose, dyspeptic, despondent, compassed about by dragons and all manner ot evil menacing forms j in fact, the odds were fearfully against him, and yet he succeeded, and succeeded on his own terms. He fairly conquered the world yes, and the flesh and the devil. Century.

Medical Times. The First Circus. Everything human has a beginning, whether of life, invention, industry, or crime. The full-grown specimen may bear little resemblance to itself in earlier years, be it a man or a locomotive, a menagerie or a murderer ; but the same spirit is there, only educated by circumstances and furnished with a bigger body. The present "greatest circus on earth', or eight in one," contrasts strangely with the first circus in the United States, which started out of Putnam county, N. Y., in 1827 or 1828. The latter had but eight or ten performers, as many horses, neither tents nor seats, and advertised only by marching through the village invested, with a man ahead calling out the place of exhibition, etc. The programme included feats of strength, leaping, etc., and riding without saddle, and the ring was pitched in yards wherever convenient. After a time an elephant was added, and from this grew the menagerie addition. In 1832 the first tent was used in New York City. MilwaukeeSen-tinel. The Price of a Wife's Dishonor.

Its pleasures are seductive, but in the end "it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder." You may be honored to-day; and to-mor row, by an unlucky venture in Chica go margins, become a pauper in a land of plentv. The holes will still be open to shelter the loxes, the nests of the swallows will hang securely to the eaves of the barn, while the man who 'bucks" the royal Chicago Bengal, on the Board of Trade, will be a wanderer on the face of the earth, with no place whereon to lay his head. Therefore heed the advice of the greyheaded prophet of Islam, and flee from the open doors of the bucket shop, and the blandishments of the option seller, even as did Joseph of old from the wicked wife of the Egyptian. If you are already in, get out as quickly as possible, It is better far to leave your coat in the hands of Mrs. Poti-phar, than your entire wardrobe, and you would appear to much better advantage in polite society. A Bird of Paradise resembles a goose very much when plucked, and after passing through the monkey's hands can't help being featherless. The day of "Go to the ant, thou sluggard, consid er her ways and be wise has passed In the light of the recent events, young man, I would point you to the man who dallied with the siren of specula tion, and brought his friends and him. self down with a tremendous crash, and say to you "go to the bursted, demoralized, fifty-cents-on-thc-dollar speculator, thou ambitious youth, consider his ways, and learn a lesson therefrom. Six thousand women, according to Mr. Dyke, a member of the Divorce Reform League, die yearly in the United States from attempts to destroy unborn children. Let's See What's Your Name? in nine cases out ot ten when a man has asked that question he would rather see his last cent roll down crack than do it, but it is asked every day in banks and other business places and printing oihces. A man who runs an account comes into the bank, or other business place, and the cash ler smiles, saying : -vell, old fellow, how are you?" and holds out his hand for a shake. The man has done business there often, and the cashier knows him like a book. But pretty soon the man asks to have something done which requires a knowledge of his name on the part of the cashier, and the latter suddenly finds that he's stuck. The cold chills begin to run down his back, and he feels as though he would like to be alone a minute so j he could kick himself. He would kriow the name if he were to see it, and he begins to go through the books in the hope of coming across it, but it eludes him every time, and finally in desperation he turns around with a sheepish look on his face, and says : Let s see What is your name? Ever afterward there is a certain de gree of coldness between those two men. But some business men are sharp. When they get stuck on a name they will ask the customer to "please spell it," at the same time remarking that they believe it is not spelled correct on the books. If the man happens to spell S-m-i-t-h the questioner feels bad, but that don't often happen. Other business men will say boldly : "Your name has slipped my memory." "Brown," comes the reply. "Oh, I know, I mean your first name," and by this subterfuge a great deal of pain and worry and bad feeling is avoided. Printers have their own times with names. They carry several thousand on their bocks, and most subscribers expect to be recognized. They know the editor, and it doesn't strike then? that it's hardly possible for him to know all of them. He does know their faces well enough, perhaps, and he tries to think of their names, but the effort is usually fruitless. The subscriber, as a rule, says "I wish to pay my subscription." If he adds "James Graham, Summerhili," the editor feels like giving him the paper free for one year. Tho Train Boy. Who is the young man yonder with the badge of authority on his brow?

Her aid. phia Item, but those of scorn and con tempt for the man who stands up and asks to be paid the price of his wife s frailty who seeks to coin her kisses and her smiles into dollars and dimes. If the woman who sells her charms is cast out as an unholy thing, what must the man be who makes merchandise of his wife's love ? The woman herself, fallen and debased though she be, is a white-winged angel in compari son with his Cimmerian blackness. We are not speaking of cases in which young and innocent gtrls are beguiled from the path of purity; that is a black sin and foul crime for which condign punishment is not too severe. That of which we are speaking is far other. The law which prescribes a money payment as a punishment for dishonoring a wife comes down to us from feudal times, from an age when woman was looked upon as a servant or slave ; when her person and her labor were the property of another. May blessing rest on Christian civilization that we do not live in an age of similar darkness. It is but a few weeks since a Judge of our Common Pleas held that women no more less guilty than the man, a doctrine which all the advocates of woman's equality will approve. If this be correct, and who denies it, then why should the woman or her husband be rewarded and the man punished ? Both are alike wrong-doeis. It would be just as reasonable for the honest wife to bring suit against Mrs. Potiphar for her husband's dishonor as it is now for the husband to sue the partner of his wife's infamy. This is one of those laws that have survived their age. and ought to be repealed. The untrue wife is as guilty as the false husband If the law undertakes to punish this offense it ought to do so by a criminal prosecution in which both parties should stand side by side in the dock together, and not by civil damages, which offer an inducement to design ing wives and money-loving husbands to spread nets for the unwary, a crime much more frequent than most per sons suppose. The Jumbo of Cricket. Throughout the whole Territory of Utah the cricket is one of the com mon objects of the country, but there are crickets and crickets, and it is just- as well when in search of the best article to "see that you get it." For a consideration, therefore, I will put the speculator on the track of some of the grossest locusts that ever devoured green stuff locusts, moreover, that squeak when pursued. Poets (Ameri can poets especially) are very partial to what they are pleased to call the cricket's merry chirp. But the poet's cricket is the insect of the domestic hearth, a pale-colored ghost of a thing, all voice, and with an irregular mid nieht appetite for the kitchen cloths that are hung out to dry before the stove. I he Piutes cricket is very much otherwise. It is the Jumbo o crickets and just as black. It lives on the slopes of the!Utah hills, among the sage-brush, and when alarmed tries invariably to jump down hill. But. being all stomach, and therefore top-heavy, so to speak, the lll-bal anced insect invariably rolls head over heels, and every time it turns a somer sauit it squeaks dismally. To walk down the hill-side, driving a whole herd of these corpulent crickets before me, used to amuse me immoderately, for the spectacle of so many fat things simultaneously trying to jump down hill, simultaneously rolling head over heels, and simultaneously squeaking, was mirthful enough to drive the dullest care away. Phil Robinson, in Harper's Magazine for October. Around it are scattered numerous barns, stables and other out-buildings. The land is divided into various pad- docks and pastures, in which the red dish spots of feeding colts are scattered about, by stretches of excellent white fence. A fence here, according to a saying of the section, must be "raule-high, bull -strong, and pig-tight." This place has but two hundred and forty acres, but the brood-mares are kept on another farm, of five hundred acres, elsewhere. At one side of the grounds is a commodious training track, laid out like one of. those mythical fairy circles on which the spinning of rapid feet weaves spells of enchantment and prosperity. It is visible from the li brary window, and the General may stand there, even with the curtaius closed, and see the performances of his horses, and act as check on any negligent practices of his grooms. Ihe host seats us in this comforta ble library, and explains to us his theories and shows us his books of record. Every birth, every pedigree is accurately entered. It is a business, as thus conducted, which calls for a high order of intelligence.Horse-breeding as at one time conducted was but an innocent form of gambling. The processes were hap-hazard and the result of ignorance. Again, much money was lost through the choice of inferior stock. Of late the theory prevails that the very best is not too expensive; a great deal of valuable certainty has been deduced from the collective wisdom of the past, and, as a rule, money is made instead of lost. The library cases are lined with books on the horse; the walls, with those of the house generally, and indeed of the blue-grass region throughout, are hung with his pictures. Over the door is the historic Kysdyk s Hambletonian, Roman-nosed, hollow-backed, and far from a model of good looks, upon a field of plain grass and sky. W. H. Bishop, in Harper's Magazine for October. Fraud in Lard. The Chicago Board of Trade has re cently reported, in a trial which came within its jurisdiction, that the lard which is in market at the present time is largely adulterated with various forms of beef product, the oil of cotton seed, and other substances which are very far from being hogs' fat. We should naturally expect to hear of this adulteration being practiced at Chicago, but we need not flatter ourselves that the fraud is confined to that city. Undoubtedly the cheat has made its way to many other cities, and, possibly, even the customers of our country groceries are sufferers. There is a loud call for stringent laws to prevent adulterations of food; and while residents of towns and tities must take their chances, the farmers may congratulate themselves that, at least in the matter of lard and butter, which they make for their own use, tbey are protected from frauds which others less favorably situated are compelled to submit to. An Iron Town. lshpeining, Alien., is also an iron town. Its population is said to be 5,000, though one wonders where they can all stay. There is iron every where. It is shoe deep in the dust of the streets. It sparkles on the side walk like frost on unspotted snow. It is in the air. It is in the kitchen, and you feel the grit of it in your dinner. It is on the people's faces the women have red hair, and the men are bald, of course. Iron is king, and it might not be out of the way to remark that iron is God. Babies are named by the ores.

There are still to be seen in certain parts of Philadelphia, at the corners of streets, pumps, the clear, cool waters ot winch, sparkling with nitrites, are much sought after by neighbors and by thirsty laborers on their way to work. There are also, in the cemeteries around the city, pumps from which infusion of dead ancestors is constantly drunk by thoughtless or reckless visitors. We are reminded that Pas teur found that the earth in which the carcass of an animal dead from splenic fever is buried becomes infested with active germs, which may be even carried to the vegetation above it, so that other animals grazing in the vicinity may thus be infected with the dise.ise. Dr. Domingos treire insists that bury ing places are hot-beds for the growth and dissemination of yellow fever germs, and demands that the bodies ot persons dead of yellow tever shall be cremated. It would undoubtedly be advisable to carry this out as a measure of public safety in all cases of infectious disease ; but as long as these bodies continue to be buried, it seems worse than blind folly to allow unsuspicious children to drink the water that percolates through ,a crowded graveyard. We hope to see every pump that is in the closely populated portion of the city at once removed, ! and on strictly scientific and sanitary A Plea for the Eagle.

From ocean to ocean, without a break of any particular consequence the sway of civilization is over it all.

Violet cultivation in Germany bids fair to rival the famous floral industry of Southern France. Most of the German violets are grown at Potsdam, where several gardeners can furnish daily during the winter some hundred dozen blossoms, while the remainder come chiefly from Berlin, Chatlotten- burg, and Leipsic. By great care the Teutonic florists have managed to produce a small violet tree about five and one-half inches high. They prevent the plant from blossoming for several years, and remove the lower leaves and shoots, so that it grows upright and assumes a palm like form. ; The New York Tribune says that any plant whi' h crowds a better one is a weed ol the worst sort.
