N\ The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era. Thére never has been a time when the healing of 50 many. different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fiact that over half of the entire population ‘of the globe resort to the ure of ordinary plasters. : Dr. MeLvin's Carsioum Porous PLASTERE are acknowledged by all who have used them to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continua]l{ to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely different: the instant one is applied the patient will feel] its effect. lghysicianu in all s‘ges have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum ; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an:outward a?plication; but it is only of very recent date that its advantaﬁes in‘a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dxz. MzrLvin’s Carsioum Porovs Prasrers, and their anlperiority over all other plasters, they now actually ‘g;escnbe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rhenmatisgm, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have re?luired the use of plag= ters or liniment.

- STARYED TO DEATH. A Story of False and True Charity. The simple facts recorded in tlis story occurredin a city not many miles from here. It would be impossible for such a case to happen in New York. We are the personifications of charity. We are the angels and this is paradise! Therefore, I wish it distinetly understood that I write of a “pitiful case,” as the papers call it, which came under my notice in a distant city, years ago. : As a rule, physicians are the most charitable of men. = They may not give fortunes: away in ‘alms: but their time, which to them is money, is freely given to the suffering in more cases than one might suppose without money and without price. It was on a freezing cold night that a young physician steppedinto the warm, welllighted office of a meérchant prince. The doctor was poor and needy; his coat . was worn and threadbare, and furnished but little protection against the cold of’ the season, because he labored among the poor, and gave his time to those who ‘were unable to pay for it. ; G The merchant was a pious, “eminently respectable” member of society. He was the mainstay of a chureh, the promoter of charitable schemes, ‘and a subscriber to all charities—-which were backed by influence, or conferred distinction on the giver. The world at large honored his name, but the men in his employ were wont to smile mysteriously when his charities were mentioned in their hearing. Oue of them was heard to remark that he “never knowed a man so well named.” Now strange to say, this model man’s name was Cantter.

80, into Mr.Cantter’s office the young physician walked with some trepidation; but, being one of the world at large, was confident that he would be heard, . for he was on a begging expedition; not for himself—he would rather have died than beg—but for a poor bggr who lay in a tenement house in Pead Man’s row—lay dying of starvation. It was tco latle to save his life —that the doctor knew ; but he hoped to raise sufficient money to make ‘the boy comfortable the remnant of His life left him. As he opened the door of the counting-room he saw Mr. Cantter standing before the glowing grate fire, declaiming nobly on the beauties of true charity to his bookkeeper, who being hard ptshed tolive upon the pittance paid him by his employer, was hardly likely to profit by “the homily. g

“————and has not charity, 1t profiteth him nothing,” said Mr. Cantter, in a loud tone of voice ‘as the door opened, and the truth tlashed through his mind that perhaps it was the pastor of his church. 'The doctor entered, and suddenly the flood of eloguence which Mr. Cantter was pouring upon the unresisting clerk hushed, for he knew the doctor, and knew also, that he Was about to ask for money, and his hands came from behind his back, went into his ‘pockets ‘and remained there. The doctor, by the way of beginning, remarked upon the severity of the weather. : :

“Yes,” said Mr. Cantter, “God help the poor!”

The book-keeper, bending over the ledger, smiled to himself, but said pothing, - o i ;

The doctor hardly liked the expres- | sion on the merchant’s face, and the oily unction with which those words rolled out of his mouth, but resolutely dashed at the subjeét, He depicted the sufferings of his dwellers in Dead Man’s row; the tumble down-houses admitting the wind and snow at every corper, the famine which reigned in them; and then excited by thetrouble he had witnessed, he appealed to the merchant to help those who could not help themselves, | Env Warmth usually begets warmth, and it is therefore singular, but not less true, that as the doctor warmed Mr. Cantter cooled, and when he had finished speaking that gentleman said:- - *L can do nothing for you. lam a subscriber to the Magdalens’ Home, Zisculapius Hospital, the Seaman’s g,‘efuge. the North ll.’ulli,’-ﬁ missions, Qe " s e o ‘7 Zgﬁ&th";;? :ieq,» e . “Tract.societies,” continued Mr. “and many other charities. T find my

| time entirely taken up, and I can nei- | ther find time nor money to aid a vagaPond who may be deceiving you—" | “There can be no deception in starfvation.” ; e . . “Well, maybe not; but I might be | placing a premium on dishonesty, and ‘1 hope to aid worthy objects.” | “All worthy, no doubt; but this is a lgase of utter wretchedness. A bey,a little child, dying for want of food,” | pleaded the doctor. amLal o ¢ “I dare say,” said Mr. Cantter, “but ‘charity, to be effective, must be well \directed. You ,must come to our church next Sunday. We have the best m%‘in the city, and as his iSermon is upon charity, you will no t’ be able to profit by his sugges‘tions.” : ; : o . “But about the boy,” said the doctor, fearing that the conversation would . wander him from the subject which dnterested him more than the sermon Which was in prospect. : o -“I can’t squander money on such Eﬁjects,”gsaid ‘the merchant, again suddenly “dropping from warmth to cold.. #I can give you a letter to the b 00r children’s home, and at the next meeting of the board—" ; “D—n the board,” said the doctor, now thoroughly indignant. : “Profanity! And in my presence!” exclaimed the merchant. “You shock me; sir.” - & -~ “Shock you!” said the doctor. “Shock you! How have youshocked me with your lying falk of charity! Is itcharity to go to a fine church, to listen to a sensational preacher? lls it charity to go to aluxurious home, to eat a grand dinner, and talk over the sermon? lls it charity to sit on a velvet sofa before a blazing fire, to look through French plate glass windows at the homeless, hungry poor as they hurry by, and say, “God help the -poor?” Shame upon such eharity—" - . : “Sir?” said Mr. Caniter. The hook-keeper smiled encouragingly upon the speaker. ' “Shame upon such charity, I say,” continued he borne away by a flood of indignation. “A true, noble charity 18 the best of things upon the earth; but a hypocritical charity should be a weight sufficient to damn any soul.” And slamming the door too, the doctor strode away. : . “I am truly shocked at that young man’s reckless use of strong terms,” said Mr. Cantter, “but,” added he, reflectively, “let 'us ‘hope that he will see the error of his ways, and repent beforeit is toolate. Ihope, Mr. Strong, that you will take warning from him, and be more regular in attendance at church. By the way, ¢to-morrow is Sunday, and you must come to our church, and hear Mr. Highfalutin on Charity.” ‘ Sk The doctor, disheartened at his rebuff and thoroughly indignantat the hypocrisy of which he had been witness, paused irresolutely upon the corner, and as he stood tr;illxere he heard a quick step behind him; then a hand hurriedly thrust a smal-roll of money into his; and turning, he was just in time to see the form of Mr. Cantter’s book-keeper disappear in the gloom. The sum was small, but it was sufficient for the purpose, and with a lighter heart the doetor went his way to Dead Man’s-Row.

A narrow,fllthypassage way between two houses leading from the fine thoroughfare into a narrow, filthy court stands Dead Man’s row, immediately in the rear. of a fine church, Mr. Cantter’s church. Why this name was ever conferred upon these tumbjedown, old rockeries I am not able to state, Suffice it to say they were so cadled, and at the first glance one was apt to acknowledge its suitableness. 'As the doctor passed down the wretched looking court he stopped one minute to shake his fist at the church looming up so grandly before, then opened the door of nne of the most wretched looking houses in the block. Up four pair of creaking, swaying stairs he went, dnd then, having arrived at the garret, stooped to -avoid the sloping roof, and entered a squalid, comfortless room. There was no furniture of any kind to be seen, and no fire. The wind blew in at the windows and in at the door,and snow had drifted in at the same places, and lay in little piles on the floor. A woman clothed in rags, sitling by a straw palletin ons corner of the room, arose as he entered, and looked at him imploringly. Ziin “Yes,” he said, “after some trouble.”

“Thank the Lord for that!” she answered, . fervently. “The poor boy can die in peace, at any rate.”) =

“I ordered the things sentup. Is he asleep ?” . o “Unconscious-like,” answered the woman. “His brain wanders a little at times.” _ ‘

A little morsel of a boy lay upon a bed—the unmistakable mark of famine in his face. : The doctor bent over him, and look‘ing in his face a moment said to the woman, standing s#ent at hisside: “His pain is overi He will probably live until morning, but he will never again be conscious.” o The long night passed, day dawned and the boy still lived. The morning wore on and church time came, Carriages rattled up to the door and discharged their loads of silks, satinsand broadcloths. The bowing ushers opened thedoors of the criinson-lined, luxurious pews, and the congregation slowly assembled. : “What do you know of charity?” thought the ‘doctor. “Here, not more than twenty feet from the pulpit of your chureh, poverty reigns supreme; yet not one of you ‘all ever took the trouble to look here for a field of usefulness. You give a little from your abundance,: and plume yourselves upon your charitable hearts; and from that poor woman by the bed you might have learned much. She cheerfully gives what she can —her time in beha}if‘ of a boy she never saw before, an L ; “

The or%anisb of the church com-. menced the voluntary, an exclamation from the woman brought the doetor to the bed. gt g, ' The little sufferer moved uneasily, then a smile came upon his wan face, a far-away look in his eyes. ~*l heard music,” he murmured. Was it the song of the angels, o 1 the. strain of the grand organ that he heard? Who cantell? “He is going fast,” whispered the doctor. /I'he woman. was silently weeping, and covered her face with ‘her hands. And the first notes of “Come ye disconsolate,” came to them from the church. Again the far-away look eame into hislips; his thin, white ‘hand stirred upon the bed, and while the last strain still lingered upon the ‘air, he furned his face toward the wall Rhdgodibd i - And as the man in his thread-bare coat and the womap in rags knelt by ‘his side and prayed silently .in the cloth, arose and gave out his text:

“Charity covereth a multitude of sins.” ~ Silks and sating rustled as their wearers -seated't}}]mselves to listen and the sermon went on, and in glowing language depicted the want and wretchedness of the poor, and the vast _congregation listened with rapt attention. Upon thespeaker, toos,the subje:t took a hold, and gy. degrees his gestures became more mnatural and less studied, his phrases more earnest and less glittering.

(Plymouth Democrat.) . The records in |the - ¢lerk’s office show a large number of judgments on transcripts from justices of the peace, ‘which are known-and believed to be fully paid, but.are not satisfied of record. Transcripts of judgments from justices jof the peace, filed and recorded in the clerk’s office, are liens against the real estate of the defendant until satisfaction is properly entered by the plairL:;iff. Nine times ouf of ten, these judgments are paid to the plaintiff in| person, or to the justice, and satisfaction entered on the Justices’ docket. Bqt this doesn’t satisfy the judgment on transcript in the clerk’s office, and as it is not made the duty of the justice to enter satisfaction, and the plainitiﬂ:‘ cares nothing about it after he gets his pay, as before stated, nine out of every ten remain unsatistied. A law should be passed making it the duty ef the plaintiff or officer .receiving the money to enter satisfaction. | <

Yes, Bob Go¢s Too Far. Indianapolis Journal; |

Col. R. G. Ingerspll, of Illinois, delivered a lecture in/ New York a few nights since, which, from beginning to end, was nothing but a scurrilous andjblasphemous a%tack on the Bible and the Christian religion. It may be none of our business, but it is nevertheless true, that Col. Ingersoll is fast earning the contempt of all good men by his open and rabid-assaults on everything sacred. Thousands and tens of thousands of men far more learned than he, far more deeply versed in science and more addicted to habits of study and investigation, have been fully convinced ofthe truth of the system which he sofreely denounces, and have found it |profitable to live and die by it. Col. Ingersoll has a perfect right to his opinion on questions of theology, but if he insists on giving public expression to them, he ought at least to try and do so without insulting the religious and moral sentiments of the country.

A Question of ' Etiguette.

Tec the Editor of the Cincilimati Enquirer:

Will you please infoerm me; through your valuable paper, the following: In entering church, or any place whatever, doés the lady precede the man, or viee versa? - Also, in leaving or exit, does she do likewise? By answering above you will confer a favor on two subscribers, and settle a dispute.

J.H. B. AND L. S. M;

[lt is a very nice question of etiquette. A gentleman should allow a lady to precede him slightly into a chureh or any other building. On exit he should precede. He should alight from' a carriage first and the lady should enter i% first. | There is in: both cases the inference of assistance, as the opening of the church, &c. Up or down the aisle of a church or into a public dining hall or parlor the rule. is, among well-bred people, where pos--sible, for the gentleman to walk by the side of the lady.—ED.

The Real Contest in Indiana.

The real battle in Indiana next fall will be for the Legislature. The Democrats are assured of victory as far as the State ticket is concerned and but for the infamous Republican “zigzag” districting there would be no difficulty in carrying the Legislature. There are two reasons, then, why the Democrats of Indiana should exert themselves to return a majority: First, that the State may be redistricted upon a just and honorable basis; Second, that-a Democratic United States Senator may be elected to succeed Mr. 'Voorhees, or in other words, that Mr. ‘Voorhees may be elected to succeed himself. These considerations should nerve the. Democracy to put forth their utmost efforts for success.

Too Generous.

The Indianapolis Sun makes the following pithy argument against |the system now authorized by law, under which National Banks are permitted to usurp the privilege of the Government: - B ;%

- “Deposit $lOO,OOO in United States Bonds, receive interest, $6,000 in gold on the whole amount, you then get permission to issue $90,000 in curren¢y, yourentire investment being $lOO,000. Deduct $90,000 which you are permitted to issue:-in currency, you have actually only invested $lO,OOO, for which you receive $6,000 interest from the Government. Every honest citizen can see the outrage committed on the people.” :

Squander Not Your Strength. (Cincinnati Enquirer, Feb, 22.) -

But we fight our fight within the democratic party. That party is proving itself worthy of its same. Its House of Representatives passed the resumption repeal bill, passed the bill remonetizing silver’; its members of ‘Congress in both branches have, with a very few Eastern exceptions, shown their willingness to take the side of the people in any phase of: the currency question that may present itself. The Toledo convention, assembled with an eye single to this subject, has not only a splendid opportunity, but a high duty to pass a yote of con~ fidence in the democratic party. Stay up the hands of the party.. These separatists can do nothing of themselves. They should not, directly or indirect--Iy, injure their friends. 7o attempt to break up either of the old parties on this issue is folly. When parties break upon this question the republican party will. become the instrument of the money power openly, as itis already in fact, and the demoecratic party will become the organization of ‘the peeple. ' The breaking up of great parties isn’t easily accomplished. The Cincinnati convention of 1872 tried it with the national republican party.— It had great aid, and failed. The*“Allen County Movément” tried it with the democratic party in Ohio in 1873. It had illustrious assistance, and it failed. The duty of the Toledo con~ vention is to fix itself in the democratic organization, help make its plat-, forms, help elect its:'law-makers, become its law-makKers. ' The democratic party in Ohio is the most potent greenback party in theland. Let the men at Toledo join it. Within the demo-: cratic party, and not without it, the great victory is to be won upon the commanding questions of the curren-~ cy. _ e

Petrified.

Fort Wayne Sentinef, ~ - e About 12 years ago Mrs. Weis, an estimable lady aged about sixty, died at-bher home aear this city, and her remains were interred on the farm of a relative, Mr, Jacob Kewepf, about twe and a half miles north of Fort Wayne. As the farm was about to pass out of the hands of the family, the body was yesterday disinterred for the purpose of being removed to Lindenwood cemetery. The coffin, which had been resting in a damp place, was found to be well preserved.. When opened the remains presented a most striking appearance. The features were unchanged, having altered in no respect since death. “The body was completely petrified, every portion of it being as hard as rock.” When struck with the hand the resulting sound was as loud as if a stone wall had been hit. Mrs. W. was a very large woman ‘in her lifetime, and when she died weighed about 200 pounds. ' The wéight of the. body yesterday was so great that it taxed to the utmost the strength of six large men to move it. : The lines of the face were hardened, and the entire body was as rigid as a bronze statue. The remains were complete with the’exception of the feet, which were gone, there being only two small bones left, which were detached from the ankels. The body was brought to the city last week ‘and’ reinterred in’ Lindenwood cemetery. Mrs. Weis was the mother-in-law of John Vondermark, Esq. ' ok , 3

Plain Talk,

A large majority of the young men that are growing up are of no account. They are relying upon “fathers” to take care of them. They would starve if tossed out into the world and com‘pelled to take careof themselves. They: are lacking in self-reliance, in pluck, in perseverence, in the willingness to labor at anything to make an honest living. The troubleis, theyfeel above laboring for a livelihood~and just as long as they have such notions there is no hope for them. Any trade or calling is better than idleness, foridleness produces worthlessness. It is better to be.a shoemaker, a blacksmith, a carpenter,. a laborer on the -farm, than it is to e a loafer.- Some of our worthiest and best and greatest men have risen to their distinguished positions from these humble callings. Everybody--respects the man who is not afraid to work.- People will trust him and honor him and do a)é they can to help him. It may be starting on the lower round of the ladder, but a higher, and still higher round ean be reached 'by those possessing eneigy, pluck and industry.—Colman’s Rural World. - o P i Weak Silverites Who Must be Retired. (Correspondence N./Y: World) . = = . WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—The new ‘demand of the extreme silver men for free coinage of silver and a new issue of paper money does not seem to meet. with any favor among the more moderate men who votéd for the bill yesterday. Some of them say that they were largely inflaenced by the belief that the silver dollar was demonetized by a trick, and they have votedto restore it under ‘certain restrictions -which they do.not believe will in the end be detrimental to the public credit. Tu "addition to this they wanted .the question settled one way or the other, so that the business interests of: the country might have some guide for the immediate future. They are utterly opposed to the free coinage of silver, to the issue of certificates based cn silver bullion, and_ to an inflation of the greenback circulation. It is not believed, therefore, that the new ‘schemes of the impracticables in the "House will be adopted by anything likeamajority. .. . i G

A Usefal’ Invention.

. A German inventor has patented an apparatus designed to lessen the strain upon a horse, particularly “at starting, of a loaded vehicle. Tne traces are fastened to an iron rod running thro’ the center of a cylinder containing several rings of gutta percha. When the horse exerts himself the strain first comes upon and compresses these rings, saving his shoulders. The German war department, having made experiments and found that the saving of force, not alone at starting, but during traction, was at least a third, has resolved to employ the attachment in its artillery and nilitary trains. It might pay, from an economical as well as a humane point of view, to introduce it here. =~ = - A cough, cold, or sore throat, requires immediate attention; and the neglect oftentimes results in some incurable lung disease, Dr. Smith's Cough Syrup Wiil st invridbly give lief, nd &g&hw‘:&m% not, fully ;;ﬂml e R prepad, for 82.

NOA4S;

What A Greenbackls, . The following is an extract from a : speech made by Mr. Chase, soon after the termination of the war: = o - “What is a greenback? Why, itis ‘simply-the credit of the great American people put in the form of money, to circulate among the very people ‘whose credit it makes worth anything., When I was Secretary of the Treasury, the question arose, how should these vast.armies and navies be supplied? How should the boys in the field be fed, ‘the sailors in ships, and provisions made for their support, their clothing, their food and transportation? 1 found the banks of the country had ‘suspended specie payment. What' ‘'was Ito do? The banks wanted me to borrow their credit or pay them in- - ‘terest in gold upon their credit. They did not pay any gold or propose to pay any themselves, but they want- - ed me to borrow their notes. I ‘said, no, gentlemen, this great American .people is worth all of you put togeth~ erand I will take the credit of the _people and cut it up in Uttle tﬁé‘ot ] ,mu _Thisisthetrue ideaof a dreen- " .Tt is the credit and the property of the American people, made to serve the purpose of money in the midst af a great strife when we must - have everything we can get. And, in my bumble judgment, if out of this war this national currency becomes as is pru%ided in our platform, so thatno - ‘Western farmer or merchant will be obliged to pay tribute to the east in his exchange; so that we shall not - lose upon our industry ; so that the laborer receives his dollar, er two dollars, or dozen dollars, at the end of the day or week, and shall be perfectly -sure that it will not turn to dust'and ashes before the morning sun rises. 1 say if you can get such a sound currency as this, then this currency; at least, has not been without one of-the collateral benefits,of the war; you can take the money on the Atlantic and go to the Pacific, and pay your bills all the way, without having to change the currency at every tavern you stop at. -

Telling Sherman How to Evade the Law. ; : (New York Herald ) 2 In order to understand how the Secretary of the Treasury could practically nullify the law during the residue of this Presidential term we must < bear in mind that the Secretary can legally limit the ‘coinage of silver dollars to two millions a month. This alone would not nullify the law, but thedisposal which the Secretary might " make of so small an amoupnt of silver coin would enable him to do it. The bill gives no directions to the Secretary. of the Treasury as to the use-to which the new coin should be put. He is not required to pay out a dollar of it unless .he chooses. Assuming that ‘the annual revenue of the Gov--ernment will be sufficient for its annual expenditures, all of the silver ‘coinage of the next three years at the rate of two millions a month could be retained in the Treasury as & coin reserve by the simple process of replac- - ing the present gold reserve with the new silver dollars. i

Defects in the Silyer Bill. . (Nashwville American.) T

The provision for a commission is ‘wise and timely.* The fact that we have not ordered an immediatgdssue of an unlimited cmount may ngbe a bar and may be an aid to our efforts to induce European governments to restore an unlimited coinage. That ‘provision is, however, defective. Mr. Hayes should not be intrusted with the appointment of a commission.— Congress should at once prepare, by a supplementry bill, for a commission of conservative, clear headed silver men, and lay down as the definite, rigid and unvarying policy of this coun{try the complete restoration of bimetalism. 'On that'commiSsion, no mo-no-metalist should be allowed a place. Our policy, as a people, must be one ‘thing or the other. To find an immediate market in the world for this great product is the point all our energies should now be directed. =~

- Thomas-A. Hendricks. (From the Indianapolis Sentinel.)

Events are rising like mountain chains and moving like conquerors.— ‘lt is not for Mr. Hendricks or any other man to control them. Itis an evidence of statesmanship, however,. to comprehend them and be in sympathy with them. The people are demanding reforms in legislation that shall arrest the grinding curse of the Shylock mills. Governor Hendricks is outspoken in his views upon that subject. He.is with Indiana and in sympathy with fully 88,000,000 of the American people. His position is a compliment to his head and his heart. He was the right man in the right place, and no higher encomium can be pronounced. B

Counterfeit Trade Dollars.

A very clear (and therefore dangérous) imitation of the genuine trade dollar has made its appearance within the past few days. On comparison. with the genuine coin it willbe feund - that the bogus trade dollars are pinkish white in hue. They may be readily detected by this peculiarity in color. #l'he milling of the counterfeitsis nearly perfect, but there are slight traces of a mould, in which the coin has been run visible on the edge; itis also light in weight, .and will not rebound when sounded, However, no. begus coin larger than a dime will rebound to any extent; however hard it may be struck on a‘vyooden*mr_fhee. 50
