i s ‘\ : i i White, for the Human Family. @ S : : Yellow, for Hoerses and Animals. These Liniments are simply the wonder, of the world. Their effects are little less. than marvelous, yet there are some things whieh they will noy de. They :will not cure cancer or mend broke | bones, but they will always allay pain, L'al‘iie;vl have straightened fingers, cured chronic. rhenmatism of many years standing, and taken the pain from terrible burns and scalds,! which: has never been done by any other article, . - .

. The White Liniment is for the human family. It will drive Rheumatism, Sciatica and Neuralgia from the system; cure Lumbago, Chilblains, Palsy, Itch,/and most Cutaneoas Eruptions: it extracts frost from frozen hands and feet, and the poison _ol‘ bites and stings ~of venomous reptiles; it subdues swellings, and i alleviates pain of every kind. ‘ For'sprains or bruiges it isthe most potent rem'edy ever discovered. The Centaur Liniment.is used with great efficacy for Sore Throat, ‘Foothache, Caked Breasts, Earache, and Weak Back. The following is but a sample of numerous testimonijals: . - : “{npiana HoMEg, Jerr. Co., Inp., May 28,773. “I think it my duty to inform you that I have suffered much with swollen feet and chords.

LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1876.

Boggs Conildes Hissßusiness Aflairs (‘Fat pontribut'« innati Saturday Night.) '~ Boggs read@ pagagraph in the newspaper, the othéF day, advising husbands to confidé¥heir business to their wives. : It said a great mistake was frequently made by not doing so and that many a man might have saved himself from ruin by adopting the plan suggested. *“lt is: to yéur wife that you must look for true sympathy when you are in the midst of business perplexities, and she is the one that you should confide in.” - Boggs laid down the paper and pondered over the matter. =He hadn’t been inthe habit of confiding his business to Mrs. Boggs to any great extent; but he gegan to think he had made a mistake.. But it was a mistake he would rectify.. He would - go home at unce and pour the story of his business troubles into Mis, Boggs’ sympathizing ear. ~ He went directly to his domestic abode and found Mrs. Boggs mopping‘the floor. It was wash day, she had got the clothes out on the line and was cleaning things up. Bhe looked hot_and tired. and was vexed, too.. withal, because the hired girl had left that very morning without warning, and she was obliged to do the work alone. g 7 |

- “There you go, Boggs, tracking the floor,” cried Mrs. B. testily; “take that -chair on ihe' hearth there, and I will fetch you your lunch. Precious little you'll get this day, and I all the work te do’ o oa 3 !

Boggs hastened to perch himself on the chair, with his feet on the round to keep them off the wet hearth, and with a plate on his knee he proceeded to partake of a frugal meal. He was thinking all the time how to begin the story of his business troublgs.. He gave two or three preliminary sighs which attracted Mr. B.s attention, causing her to ejaculate: * “What’s the matter with you? Don’t that cdld mutton agree with you? ‘lt’s all yow’ll get this noon, I'll promise you: ' Boggs said the cold muitton was delicious. "~ In fact, he liked his cold~ mutton better than hot—that is, toe hot: It wasn’t that that made him sigh; he had something 'else on his mind. . S

Mrs. Boggs’ curiosity ‘was excited, and she asked him to tell her all about

“Fact' is,” said Boggs, “I’ve been thinking that I haven’t "done quite right in not telling you more -about my business, It is to the wife,” eried Boggs, flourishing the mutton bone in a highly dramatic way, suggestive of deep feeling, “that a man must go for sympathy when the cares of the world are too many for him.” ! Mrs. Boggs, who had resumed her mopping, said he was right; she had always told him so. She could sympathize with him in all his troubles if he would only let her know. e

“I know it, dear,” said Boggs tenderly, ‘“and that is the resaon I want to tell you about those bonds of your dear mother’s that you gave me to put in the bank.” L ) “Yes, dear,” said Mrs. Boggs quickly, pausing in. her labor ‘and leaning in' an-attitude of intense interest on the mop handle. : -+ “Well, you see, love,” continued Mr, Boggs, “I was going to keep this from you;- but- 1 am-satisfied that a man ought.to tell his business to his wife, and— . % ‘ h

“Go on,” said Mrs. Boggs rather sharply, an eager light coming into her eye, “go on and tell all about the bonds.”

“Well, said Boggs, drumming on the empty plate with the muttonbone, “Tripem told me of a good speculation he knew of if he only. had the money; and there was ‘millions in it,’ but hae hadn’t the cash to try it on. He offered to give any man two thirds of the profits who would furnish him the capital.” =+ : “Yes,” said Mrs. Boggs, breathing harder through her set teéth (both upper and lower set on rubber,) and her fingers playing nervously around the mop-handle, “and you recollected the bonds.” : : :

“Recollected, eh? Had ’em in my pocket, going to the bank just that minute. Now, my dear, I never wo'd have told you this if I ‘hadn’t read an article in a newspaper about confiding—" : - S “Go on, Boggs,” said Mrs. B. in a voice preternaturally: ealm, “Tripem told you what his scheme was and you=t : “Yes, Tripem.told me all about it, dnd he wouldn’t have told any one but me, neither. He said it was the Centennial year, and everybody would be just crazy for some relic or another of the Reévolution.:. He knew where there was a lot of Continental money that eould be bought cheap and it would sell for almost any price we were a mind to ask for it. - He would do'all the business, buy the Continental money himself and go to the Centennial Exhibition and sell it; and T thought it was a great chance—never happen again in'a life time—at. least, not in a hundred years., Such an opportunity, too, to invest your dear mother’s bonds; for as Tpripem said, United States bonds must bust up,but Continental money' is good at any time. Bless me, what a relief it is to tell one’s business to ome’s wife! What—" : . L ‘

" «But, dear, you didn’t trust all of mother’s bonds to Tripem ?” said Mrs. Boggs in low, soft tones, creeping a littlo closor to theo old man, Wwhose back was towards her, and softly spitting lon' her hands asshe trailed the mop along on the floor with the handle under her arm. ; “Oh, ves, I did,” cried the unsqé—pecting Boggs. “Tripem’s all right. He’s off hunting up that Continental money, and wlien he sells it—" - “Bojggs!’ .- | ;

There was a cry like the combined yell of a dozen' infuriated wild cats, accompanied by ' the quick, damp: whisk.of a mop through the air, and* Boggs caught it ‘'on the top of his bald head, sprawling him outon the domestie liearth. Thick and fast rained the ‘blows delivered by that enraged female, mingled 'with such ‘cries as: “Villian! wretch] defaulter! robber of the widder! embezzler! confide your rascality to me, will you? OBh, you } vile eonfidence man! = Continental money tor mother’s bonds; I'H pay you in another eeoin,” ete., etc. The uproar brought Boggs’ mother-in-law ‘ueg:m the scene, and when she was taken ‘into confidence too, as it were, and learned what had become’ “of her bonds, she concluded the mati‘nee by tipping a tub full of hot suds’ over on ‘him, which nearly washed:® hiwi into the back yard. Boggs hasn’t been - §éen outside of the house since,: but® the dector thinks he can get' enough new skin' on hith'so that he can go to Philadelphia about the 4th of July and see how Tti m_‘i,%gém::gg along Wwith thé'sale of eg}:p_ ContinenP Ry el AR o eet s ) nitice Qispiayed in the bedroome: Tt il please tuks the canter of the. roohe e R Uta Atutnihi thi s bed 1 on,.

How Joe Fink Rode the Buil.

_ Joe took a notion fo go in, swimming, and had just got his. clothes off when he saw Deagon Smith’s bull making at him. Thg bull was a vicious animal, and camé pear killing several persons, conseguently Joe felt rather “juberous.” He didn’t want to call for help, for he was naked, and the nearest place ffom where assistance ‘could arrive was the meeting‘house, which ‘was at the time' filled ‘with worshipers; among them was the “gal Joe®was paying his devoirs to.”” So he dodged e};‘e bull as the an~ imal came at him, and managed' to catch him by the tail. He . was dragged around until mearly dead, and when he thonght helcould stand it no longer, he made up his mind he had better halloo, and now we will let himtell his own story: ¢ s “So, looking at theimatter in all its bearings, 1 cum to the conclusion that I’d.better let some one know where I. was. So I gin a yell, louder than a locomotive whistle, and i¢ warn’t long before I seen the Dedcon’s two dogs coming down like as If they war a geein’,wmmz&&be%ﬁm- * 1. knowed who they were arter; they’d jine the bull agin me. So, sez I, old brindle, as rigin’ is as cheap as walkin’ on this route,:if you’ve no objections I’ll jest take a deck -passage, on that ar’ ‘back o” yourn. So I warn’t long gittin’ astridé of himr. Then if you’d been thar you'd have sworn that thar warn’s anything human in that ar’ mix the sile flew so orfully, as the critter and I rolled around the field—one dog on one side and one t'other, tryin’ to clinch my feet. I prayedand cussed and cussed and prayed until I «couldn’t tell what I did last—and neither waren't of no use, they were so orfully mixed up. : : ‘ “Well, I reeckon I had rid about half an hour this way, when the old -brindle thotight it'time to stop to take a ‘ supply of wind and cool off a little. So when we got round to a tree that stood thar, he naturally halted; so,sez 1, old Doy, -vou will lose one passenger sartin. So L just clam up a branch, ‘ kalkerlating to roost till I starved, afore I'd ride around that ar’ way any longer. I war making tracks for the top of the tree, when I heard somethin’ a makin’ aptawful buzzin’ overhead. I kinder’looked up, and if thar wasn’t—well, thar’s no no use Swearin’—but ‘it war the biggest hornets” nest ever huilt. You'll gin“in now, 1 reckon, J., cause there’s no help for you. But anidea struck me then that I stood a hedp better chance a ridin’ that bull than whar I was. Sez I,old " feller, if youw’ll hold on I’ll ride to the next station, let that be whar it will.

ol = . Changing the Political Programme sSlightly. - {Washington Correspondence, N. ¥, Herald.] The result of the Ohio Convention may make trouble here, as it has undoultedly encouraged the soft money Democrats, who had of late given up their hopes and appeared contented to fall into ranks. - Some of them now talk of a split in the party unless they are allowed to rule, This spirit will probably make itself felt in the House and cause there renewed: attéempts to repeal the Resumption act, and" .to bring forward legislation looking toward inflation. But the hard meney Democrats are not sliscouraged. they mean to stand by their prineiples, and say that to give in to the'inflation sentiment would be to give the election to the Republicans overwhelmingly, and that, if they are to be beaten, they prefer to die with honor, and not to be dragged at the heels of Mr. Allen and the inflation crowd. They admit that the Allen movement will lose Indiana to the democratic party, and. that it narrows the chances of success; but the Eastern Democrats count on the whole South, New York, New Jersdy, and ‘enough other States to éarry the eleetion.® :Among Western hard money men the reckoning is somewhat different, ‘and the Davis movement gains with them, as they assert that ‘Judge- Davis' *o#n carry’ .some Western and North-Western States which Tilden could not, they say, look for.

A Girl with Presence of Mind. .| {Wew York San Interview:)

“One night about four years ago, and just about this month,” the engineer. continued, “I was coming down this hill with (considering the season) a préftty heavy train. At Wilkesbarre, over in the valley,—which you’ll soon see—a young lady had got aboard of my engine. %he wanted a night ride, and was puton by the superintendent. She was a perfect lady, and her mother was in' one of the ‘cars back. To tell the honest truth, (as I have often said to my wife) I never saw a more beautiful or game-looking girl. =She was very small sized, dressed in what my- wife called complete taste, and her figure was so good and her hands so small-and her ways so artless that I almost wished she was my daughter.Her face, though, it was what I can’t give an idea of. It was! the most beautiful face I ever saw. It had,” proceeded the engineer, warming, “all the intelligenee of a woman’s and the simplicity of a child’s. ! And she was 'BO sprightly and loveable altogether, ‘and asked so.many questions, that, although "I had never had a woman on ‘the engine but omnce before, I invited her over ilere to my seat, and explained to her all about how a locomotive is run. I ,showed her how to manipulate, the lever, which admits more or less steam to the cylinders; how the tests of water and steam aré made, T showed. her how to blow the whistle and ring the bell, and explained how the brakes were blown down, and how warnings were given on the approach to crossings. - She took it all in, and,” said the engineer, stretching his arm across the boiler and clutehing' my sleeve, “it was the best lesson I ever gave. : Right up around yonder,, about two miles from here, as I was handling the reverse lever, we struck. a stone or something on the track at 9 o'clock atnight,- 1 was a-bending down at the same time (the girl was sitting where you are, on my cushion) and quicker than lightning the lever flew back and struck me on the eye,

and knocked me—well, I'll be d—d if I know. where. Any way it didn’t make much difference for a minute-or two, for I was just-stunned. 'As we Wwere on the down grade, with no need of fuel, the fireman was back in the baggage car, and when I came to this young girl was holding on to my head and fanning me=vith her toy of a hat: It wasn’t two seconds before I knew ‘what was to pay. The engine and the whole train had started down this hill at the rate of sixty miles an hour. I tried to spring upiand reach thelever. My right arm and side and right leg were numb.: My face and even my tongue were so paralyzed by the blow I had received that I could hardly speak. -I was so desperete that (more to. attract- the girl’s attention to the danger than for anything else) I grabbed her hat with my left hand and threw .it outside of -the locomotive, and then managed to beckon her ear down close to my lips, and say: “*Train’s going too fast. We will be in hell in a minute if you don’t turn the. lever!’ S i

“She understood me in an instant; and it ‘was time. The engine was’ roeking, swaying, grinding and skurring down the track like a beast with great bounds. Every second I expect: ed it would leap the rails; it certainly was dq’sq;,endi‘ng,a&me rate of séventy miles anthour. But that little thing sprang up here, clutched the lever, motiongd which way she should shove’ or pushif, got my nod, and reversed the wheels like a little man. Then; she whistled down brakes—there was no use of that, for the boys had put. ‘oon every .brake already. Inside of a mile and- a hal{she stopped the train.” §% — i - B———— | : A New Road Law.

THE Chicago Tribune calls the late platform adopted by the Republican State Convention at Springfield, last week, “a :Monstrous : Platform.”. Its monstrosity is on account of its fraudulent character in palming oft a “rag baby,” upon the people of Illinois, as a legitimate, simon-ptire ‘hard money ‘child. It'also denounces the platformbecause it flaumks Morton’s :bloody shirt-and wishes to revive issues long since settled.

But do those who allude to it with anintentional sneer ever reflect upon the duties and missions performed by the poor, obscure country/ weekly, which is as much, nay, | more, to its few hundred readers in the country, as is the great metropolitan daily to its thousands of readers in thecity ? Oh, no; theynever think: of placing any estimation upon_the | worth of a country paper; it has none |' within the narrow limits of their superficial and contracted brains.

But the financial, commercial, agricultural, religious, and social condition of the millions of his ,fellow-citizens residing without the envirous of his mighty empire of a few miles in area is a sealed book he has never opened its pages to inquire within; he knows nothing-ef it; put -him to the test and youswill find he knows more about the condition of the Berbers of Northern Africa than: ‘he does about the people in the neighboring county. = We turn from the | contemplation of this human superfi- | ciality to the practical and commonsense man, who wishes to be informed as to the pursuits, condition, and prospects of the people of his own immediate State and county.. - He finds in |, the rural paper the information he seeks. | The country organ is to him the camere lucida. which faithfully portrays all that.occurs; itis-in aj great measure the reflex of the character of the people’ comprising the country wherein it is published. But what is the interest which even he derives from it, compared to/that which is felt-and entertained by the country people themselves? . It is everythiing tothem.

.NEw : YORK, May 28.—The funeral of Baron De Palm, according to the aneient. Egyptian rites, was the occasion’ for a gathering of nearly four. thousand: people at the Masonic Temple this affernoon. .The deceased Baron, who came: to this country fifteen - years-ago, liad expressed a wish that no christian priest.or minister be. allowed to take part in his obsequies. They were conducted by the Theo- | sophical Egociety of this: city, of whach the deceased was a member. Only. those having tickets, -about : fifteen’ hundredin all, were admitted to, the building. -~ The assemblage was well dressed, but intensely curious in regard to the nature of the funeral rites. They were of much simplet eharacter than had been expected. ~ The platform or altar wasembellished by an incense-burnér; which, according ‘to the-offices of the Society, was emblematic of the worship of fire, and a wood-’ en cross bearing a serpent who seemed engaged in‘an eéarnest but fruitless effort;&ol bite h(ils; 'pw;n ‘tail.
