EIGHT DOLLARS A YEARV; THE MARCH OF DESPOTISM. ARBITRARY ARRESTS OF DEMOCRATS TE NEW TOBE. Kr. Heinrich'? Case-The Spirit ot '76 Dead In New Tork-A Can vasa of the Umpire State-Encour? aging Reports at tne Democratic Headquarters-afr. Greeley and His Dying Wife-The Horse Disease.

OUR OWN NEW YORK, October 24. I am glad to Bay there ls some genuine In? dignation byer the atrocities ol the Federal election supervisors in this city. It is true that the feeling ought to be universal; but the American people bave become BO familiar with the encroachments of the general gov? ernment since 1860, that their sense of injury has become blunted. There are some left tbongh who have not yielded up the spirit which our forefathers sought to transmit to us, and the outrages perpetrated by Commis? sioner Davenport and his crew have fired their souls. The people have become very craven, Indeed, If in violation of an express provision of the constitution, they submit to the Intrusion of the government spies, and arrest and Incarceration, without due process of 1 Instance of outrage over which this indignation ls expressed, ls the af? fair of Mr.

Heinrich, a respectable German gentleman residing in the Seventeenth Ward. A government spy, under orders from Daven? port, the United Stales commissioner, forced his way Into Mr. Heinrich's house, Insulted his daughter and other ladles of his household, and finally encountering Mr. Heinrich himself, proceeded to ply him with Impertinent ques? tions. His bearing and queries were such aa gave the impression thai he suspected Mr.

Heinrich, who ls an old and well-known citi? zen ol the ward, (and a Democrat, of course,) of fraudulent registration. The prooeedlng waa too much for Teuionlo the spy was shown to tbe door. He went back to the Sett; despot at the commhsloner's office with hi tale, and the consequences were that shortly afterwards Mr. Heinrich's house waa surrounded by a posse of Federal police from the marshal's office, ail meana ol egress. In front, rear and on top ol the house secured, and Mr.

Heinrich thus cornered, seized and dragged to poison. The villains arrested thia citizen without a warrant, and solely upon the command of Commissioner Davenport. It was Saturday night, and though Mr. Heinrich offered to give ball in a million of dollars If he could be permitted to search for bis friends, Daven? port peremptorily refused the request, and or? dered him to be locked up. He lay in prison until Monday, when his friends effected his re? lease on bali.

The charge against him waa that he had "Interfered" and an officer In the performance of bis duties. Dav? enport said he was "Just the man he wanted to make an example of," and that he was "glad he bad got him." To a reporter he said "ne did not care what the press said or the people thought of him, and if any persons Interfered wi th his man in any way, shape or manner, they would get Into trouble." Two Journals, the World and Sun, have taken the matter up, and are making some r'rited com menta on lt; but, strange to say, Tribune treats lt with comparative indif terence, and the Herald ls edi corelly silent. It seems to me that auoh an outrage twenty veera ago In any city, North or South, would havetaought the people Into the streets with muskets their hands. It ls only by such events that we eau measure the decay of pub- lie spirit. I have heard, though In a private way, ol Individuals who bad not intended to or who Inclined towarda Grant, who have resolved since the Heinrich Infamy to get their ballots in for Horace Greeley.

The Herald has a correspondent travelling through the interior of this State taking ob? servations upon the political situation. He has been through twenty counties, and the result may be summed up aa follows Tbe Bourbon are difficult to dud. They will not Influence the result in tbe State to any appreciable extent The stay at home Democrats, however, are numerous, as much as five per cent, and li some effort ls not made to bring them to the pol the State ls in danger of oelng lost to Greeley nd Eernan. 'Wherever Senator Fentoo'a Influence pre? dominates liberalism 8mong the Republicans ls strong. ID some con ut les there are as manyas 1,000 Liberal Republicans; la others there are very few.

The conclusion of the correspondent ls that mattera are very much mixed, and that no one eau tell who ls going to be President until after election. The gentlemen at the Democratic National Haadquarlers proteas to have encouraging news, from all quarters, and believe Mr. Gree? ley will be elected. They count of course, on the South (excepting South Carolina aud Mis? sissippi, and add to ita electoral vote that of Kew Tock, New Jersey, Indiana, Connecticut and New Hampshire. If their expectations are Justified, these States will give more than enough to elect Greeley.

The Grant men, on ti? other hand, boast confidently that the ad? ministration will carry every Northern State, and more than two-thirds of the South. They claim North Alabama, Florida, Ar? kansas, Virginia, and even Delaware. iur. Greeley ia at the bedside of his dying wife. The vile caricatures of Harper's Week? ly seem particularly cruel at such a time.

Nest's last cartoon represents Mr. Greeley's dead body borne to Its final resting place by Whitelaw Reid and Senator Fenton, the allu-1 aloa being to his supposed political deatb, of course. The laughter of the Radicals over the grates on the feelings of Mr. Greeley's rienda Just- now. Mrs.

Greeley's disease ls consumption. She may linger several weeks, but the probabilities are that she will last but a few days longer. Mr. Greeley ls, therefore, prevented from taking any personal part lu the remainder of the campaign. Tne horse disease, blppozymosls, as some ol the papers call lt ls the liveliest sensation of the day.

The papers are foll of it and every? body ls talking about it It was spread over the country with amazing rapidity. A week ago lt was In Canada. It crossed the borders, appeared lu Rochester, next In Troy, and dav yesterday lt reached this city. Fully a third ot the horses ot this city and Brooklyn are afflicted, and I should think almost that number are drawn off from laber. Where I write this I have been accustomed to see from my window in the day time a never ending of horse-cars, trucks and carriages, ls only occasionally now that I bear the tinkle of the ear bells, and looking out tbe street bas almost a Sunday aspect.

A change so sudden and complete has never before come upon our every day life. If tbe disease continues to spread so that aa at Rochester, all the horses are laid up, the effect will be very embarrassing. Wholesale busi? ness will be entirely stopped; we shall be re? duced to pedestrianism as the means of get? ting- over this city of magnificent distances; and more appalling still, lt we die, how shall we be taken to Greenwood It ls very lucky for us that "hlppozymosls" Is not fatal to the poor beasts. It ls simply a catarrh and cough, accompanied with incapacity for work. I no? ticed some of the animals to-day BtaorUog in their vehiclea with streaming eyea noses.

The cough, short and backing, resembles that of a consumptive human animal. The disease runs its course in from three to ten days. I gresume yon may expect it In Charleston, if lt as not reached you already. NTH. ABBES! OF A SWINDLES.

IInteresting Reminiscences of the Coimes of Two Centuries. Mrs. Petlgru Carson contributes to the tait issue ef Appleton's Journal the following pleasant sketch of old SL Michael's and Its chime of bells Very dear to the people ot Charleston, South Carolina, ls St. Michael's Church in that city, which Is said to have been built after a model furnished by Slr Christopher Wren, and copied from Loudon. The likeness to St.

Marlin's is so strong that no CharleBtonlan on coming to London needs have that ohurcb pointed out. The spire ol Sr. Michael's, however, ls much the more beautiful. Any one who had seen lt would remember the church, with Its old-fash? ioned mahogany pulpit, and great brass chandeliers, and hlgh-olack mabogany pe vs, (where the devout might pray, and the careless sleep unseen. But chiefly were the people proud ol their bells.

There waa no such chime in the colony when they were hung, and, after they bad changed their lune of God save the Sing tor Yankee Doodle, there never were any bells In New York or Boston that came up to them in their Fourth of July performances. Of all the works of man's bands there is none which seems lo have such a life or tis own as How they sympathize with the people. I giving voice to their Joys and their Borrows How, with prophets' voices, they speak lo each man In bis own tongue And how, sometimes, like mocking spirits, they urge the mad fury of the mob with peels ot vengeance I and triumph, which In the ears cf the wiser lew are a knell of despair When the British took Charleston in 1780 they stabled their horses In the church, and, unhanging the bells, sent them off lo London, where they were dumped on the Tower wharf, and left unnoticed for many years. At last I the vestry of St. Michael's received a letter bidding them (expect their bells by a certain ship sailing from London.

The people went I In procession to bring up from the ship their beloved belle, which they had never boped lo I listen to again, and with prayers and thanks? givings they were replaced in the churob tower. The pious benefactor never made himself known, but be was supposed to have I been some British officer who had been at the 1 taking of Charleston. For seventy years did those bells regulate the social life of the city. For, not only did they call to worship, and celebrate all occasions of public Joy and sor? row, but nightly they rang a curlew which ruled everybody's It was intend? ed to warn the negroes borne at nine o'clock in winter, ten in sum mer; after that hour they might not no Into the Btreets without a writ ten pass. The nimble negro oiien eluded the statute, giving leg-bail to the ''guardmao," but ibe whites put themselves under the rule, of their own accord.

All visitors were expect- ed to take leave at bell-ring, and they punc? tually departed at the same moment that I Gufly was brushing along to gain his gate be fore the. tap of the drum should make bim I amenable to the law against strollers "after I hours," aa lt was called. It would not suit this sketch to recall the memories of the day when ihe Untied States flag, lowered (rom Fort Sumter, was brought up to thc cltvjamld ahtish so general, one might have thought the people repented them ol their rash act, till some one ordered the bells to ring a mad clangor, and with shouts ol ex? ultation they drowned the voice that stUl warned them to forbear. Time went on, 'and Charleston behind her defences of sand resisted all the efforia to carry ber. During the five hundred (646) days of bombardment all the lower part of ihe town had to be abandoned.

Houses and churches were shattered, the caonou-balls tore up the very graveyards, and (he boneB of the dead were scattered. Yet the spire of Sf. I Michael's was untouched. Perhaps the can- noneers tried spare lt-perhaps good angels guarded lt. But, what neither the malice of the enemy nor tbe spite of Fortune did, the people themselves effected.

For the bells were taken down and aent to Columbia, to be I cast Into cannon. General Beauregard, per haps shocked at the desecration, pronounced I them uuflt lor the purpose; and thc late, I wblcbjheaped up at Columbia for sale-keep-1 lng everything of value lo the State, there de tamed the bells also. Then Sherman's army passed through, leaving its track as of light- 11 nlog. A party of hali drunken soldiers, out 11 lor a lark and for plunder, were accosted by a negro who offered to show them the bells which had rung In secession. ''Never," said the men, ''shall they play that tune again and they smashed them into a hundred pieces.

I Sid was the return to ibe desolated homes, and the meetings in the dumb church, to which no miracle might now restore ihe voice I of the chimes they loved. But they were men of pluck sill), and as soon as they had shaken themselves up and provided for ihe drat pressing needs Ihey re solved to tax themselves lo the utmost to get a new chime. Scarcely hod the rector bread, and the vestry and congregation were all very poor, but they wrote to C. Prloleau, of London, lo Inquire the cost of a new Bet. Tbls gentleman had lived so long In England as to bave become almost an Englishman, with a fair English wife and bluff handsome English children, bul his heart stirred at the recollection ol the dear old voices lhat bad called him In childhood, and he undertook the task with a loving zeal ibat brought about the most sur prising results.

There was no record at Charleston where the bells came irom. But Mr. Prloleau searched the directory for the oldest founders of the city, and went from one to the other until, at Meares White Chapel, London, a firm which bas been In existence three hundred yean, he found, by patient examination, the record ct bells cast I tor St. Michael's Church, Charleston, S. In 1759.

Tbe proportions of the metal, and sizes of the bells, were all entered in the books; and the present Meares engaged to turu out a new set which, when hung, should make the Charleatonlans themselves think they heard their veritable old bells. But Mr. Prloleau waa not content with this; he wrote back lo have all the fragments lhat could be found sent out, and this was done. Mean while, Meares found Btlll In their service an old man of seventy-six, who had been ap prentice under the very foreman wno, more I than a hundred years before, had cast these bells; and be, stimulated by Prloleau's cene-1 roalty, never rested till he brought to light the very original moulds for the castings. Into them the new metal was melted with care ful distribution of the broken fragments, so as to make the illusion a reality.

All that was wanting to make up the cast Mr. Prio- leau added, and the reward of his perse ver ance and generosity was to Bend to the vestry these new bells, which are the very old ones still. Again did the congregation with tears and thanksgiving receive the bells from this their fifth voyage across the Atlantic and hung them up In Su Michael's steeple. May they never aga)n be removed by the rough hand of War, or ever sound aught but peace on earih and good-will toward men. Mus.

The horse malady bas spread to such an ex? tent that almost all horses In the elly are said to be suffering In one form or another from symptoms ol the epidemic. There are thous? ands of horses which have not yet been put upon the sick Us', but observation goes to show that many of these have the germs of the disorder in their system. The disease has thus far been rather slow in Its development, and it ls not known yet whether all Its stages have been seen. It is estimated lhut In the city and Immediate vicinity there are from thirty to forty thousand horseg suffering from well developed symptoms of the dis? ease. It bas begun to exhibit new and alarming phases, which are looked on as highly dangerous.

The Inflammation ol throat extends to the luDgB and rapidly grows more alarming, and the coughing ls fearlully convulsive-tue animal panting for breath, becomes quite cold at the extremities. This seems to be a warning of the fatal ending of the malady, and If lt continues as widely prev? alent as lt is now, for a few days longer, there ls little doubt that ten per cent ol the horses affected will die. Ibe street car com? panies, some of the livery stable proprietors and many of the down town merchants are still working their diseased horses, and lu all these cases signs of fatality are becoming more and more alarming. In the stables, where all business ls sus? pended until the disease ls mastered, very favorable reports are made. In some Instances the convalescence ot horses Is very rapid.

The trottera and racers stabled in the city seem to nave nearly escaped the disease. American Girl has alreaoy almost recovered from ber slight attack. At. least six hundred oars h-ive been with? drawn from the city railroad lines. In this branch alone a thousand men are thrown out ot work.

The hackmen have OlmOBt tripled their tares for passengers, in utter violations ot law, and refuse to carry those reluslng to pay Illegal rates. The managers of the rail? road companies believe that at the present rate their stock cannot hold out longer than Sunday night. No stable reports as yet shows that any horse has been perfectly cured. The Express Company report the recovery of some ot their horses. Mr.

Bergh suggests as a remedy for the pre? vailing horse disease complete rest, warm blankets, no exposure to drafts ol air, disin? fectants, total absence of bleeding and pros? trating cathartics, twenty or thirty drops of tincture of iron in a gill of Jamaica rum, diluted with water, to given every lour hours, in order to preserve the strength of the horse, or tincture ot arnica will produce relief. A plaster bound round the throat, composed of one portion ol cayenne pepper and two ol flax seed mixed with vinegar, is excellent. BOSTON, October 26-Noon. In consequence of the horse disease, horse car accommodations have been almost entire? ly withdrawn In Boston and vicinity. Wagona Oiled with perishable articles are drawn by men.

There are very few borsea on the Btreets. Only a few fatal cases. The first known and authenticated case of horse malady communicated to a human being was reported here to-day. Bussell, white driver of engine No. 4, while attending the horses, was suddenly taken with ih? disease, and was conveyed to bis home.

He had all the symptoms of the malady-coughing, run? ning at tbe nose and eyes, and geueral fever? ish debility. Boc ESTER, October 26. A cold rain prevails here. Malady reports are discouraging. re fatal cases are re? ported to-day than during toe whole time since the malady appeared.

DICKENS AND HIS WIFE. Young Dickens ivlll not Permit His At tie r's Biographer to Blur the Name of His Mother. the Liverpool Dally Pos A Btory reaches us from London which will be read with eagerness by all who are Interest? ed-BB who ls nor'-in the Hie of the late Charles Dickens. Under ordinary circum? stances lt would be rightly deemed beyond the ken of a public Journal, but Mr. Dlokens's own deliberate choice made his separatiou from hlB wile a public topic, aud lt would be affectation lo keep out of print gossip which, though at present that of an Inner circle, ls sure to become very soon the common talk of literary society.

The rumor is that Forster's "Life ol Dickens," volume 2, which the world ls anxiously expecting, bangs Are. The biog? rapher thinks tbat be ought to tell the story ot the separation of Dickens and his wife, and of course ls disposed to throw all the blame ol the separation upon Mrs. Dickens. But young Dickens, who, it ls said, always sided with lils mother lu that matter, and thinks that but scant Justice was done to her by bis father when the matter was made public, says that if amends be not made to her by Mr. Forster, a "plain, unvar? nished tale" shall be published in "AU the Year Bound." How the maller will end lt ls Impossible to foretell.

Perhaps the best way would be to leave the late untold, If young Dickens would consent to that course. At all events, one cannot but admire this young man's affection lor his mother, and bis chival? rous determination that at all cost to the repu? tation ot' his father, her good name shall not be blurred. It will be remembered that Wal? ter Savage Landor suddenly separated from his wife, and never saw her again. Mr. Fors? ter, in bis biography ul Landor, hurries over the business swiftly, like a skater over dan? gerous Ice, but be manages to throw the blame rather upon Mrs Landor than upon his hero.

But having read this biography and got a pret? ty correct notion of this hero-bis extreme Irri? tability, bis lofty notion of himself, bis craving ambition for homage from everybody-we can easily imagine that the offence which his wife, who seems to have been a very quiet, amiable lady, committed, was Blight. Mr. Forster BO tells the story as to make the world believe that certainly Mrs. Landor was most to blame; but lt ls questionable whether Mr. Forster, in dealing with contemporary be roes, does not carry bis worship to the verge of flunk ey ls m.

Better leave the story ot Dick? ens and bis wife untold If the son would oon sent to lr. But perhaps he will not perhaps he has long felt the injustice to his mother rankling lu bis breast, aud ls now determined to have the trutb published. If so, there will at least be one advantage-the revelation will put a welcome end to the vexatious disputa? tions aud Improbable exclusive explanations which are always forthcoming at dinner tables and elsewhere when the name of Dickens ls mentioned. -TheophiluB Gautier, the celebrated French poet, novelist aud newspaper contributor, died in Paris, October 23d. He was born August 31st, 1811, at Tarbes, In the south of France, and graduated at tbe College Charle? magne, Paris.

He at first ai tempted to be? come an artist and painter, but falling In his early attempts, he turned his attention to literature. lu 1830 he published a volume of poetry, wblct was followed by more ambitious works in verse. Gautier was a most prolific author, composing with great facility novels, plays aud works of travel, aud writing essays and criticisms for the newspapers. He was for a long time a permanent contributor to La Presse, and In 1865 he transferred his ser? vices to the Moniteur. He travelled In Europe and in the East, and published pleasant and popular accounts of his Journeyings.

ASPECTS OF THE CANYASS. TEE ILLINOIS LIBERALS. All the Prominent Republicana Arrayed Against Grant. The prospect In Illinois ls thus outlined in a letter from Chicago to a New jonrnal: Here in Illinois the prospect ls good for car? rying the State lor Greeley. People living in other States think that 61,000 majority for Grant cannot be overcome, but they do not comprehend the Liberal strength here.

There are but two prominent Republicans In Illlnole, besides those renominated lor Congress on the Grant ticket, of nat ional or even State reputation who now support Grunt. They are Jobn Logan and Governor Oglesby. The la'ter ls nominated by the Gran tites for governor, while the former never was a Republican until tbe Democracy could no longer elect him to Congress. He was the author of a measure In toe Illinois Legisla? ture to sell free negroes Into slavery, li they should Bettie In tbe State of Illlnole. He ls also proved to have raised a company to go Into the rebel arm; at the beginning of the war, and to have Iben deserted them.

This Is proved by the sworn affidavits of several mom? era of the company. On the Liberal side in Illinois are found half of me Grant electors In 1668; the entire State ticket elected with Lin? coln In 1860, save poor Tates the entire ticket elected with Lincoln In 1864, save Oglesby; the present State cUlcers, save the treasurer and auditor; besides many Republican ex-Con eressmen, the Hon. Lyman Trumbull and tbe John F. Farnsworth, present members of Congress, and thirty thousand other Republi? cans now enrolled In Liberal clubs. Among the prominent supporters of Greeley ls a brother of General John A.

Rawlins. I INDIANA SAFE. The Libarais Working Hard to Secure a Gain on Vote. A telegram from Indianapolis, speaking of a conference ol the Liberal leaders there, says The testimony from all Bides ls conclusive that the tate stands secure lor a very hand? some gain on Hr. Hendrloks's vote, and even at the worst it cannot oe reduced, as the Grant people exhausted themselves lu that one su? preme effort.

Meantime the local canvasses are to be kept up vigorously, and the strong speakers put at work In the doubtful tri ot s. So far as can be learned from these rep? resentative Liberals of both parties tbe de? pression consequent upon the disheartening frauds In Philadelphia and this State baa almost wholly disappeared, and there ls a de? termination to pile up such a majority In No? vember that ute counting and fraud will be useless lo the attempt to reduce lt. General ppeech-maklog will be discontinued, though five or six districts are to be effectively worked up to aro HF a the dormant Demo? cracy. The excellent reports from the Illi? nois border are iurgefy Instrumental in strengthening the banda of (be Indiana Lib? erals; and me eflVot will be an agreeably In? creased vote lo the border counties. The leaders were quite eameu In expressing sensibly sanguine views of the result In tneee two States, and they ooly demand that olber Northern States be held well to their work In order that ludlana and Illinois will confirm the wisdom of the Liberal movement by a substantial victory.

TUE PROSPECT IN OHIO. A Democratic-Liberal Majority Itt tba State renate. The Cincinnati Enquirer ol the 2lat, remark? ing upon the fact that before 1870 the colored men did not vote, says: They were put In that year, and now cast not less tuan 16.000 votes. Without their vote the Liberals would have elected their tioket by" majority. There were nov 1-S3 thau 26,000 Democrats who did not vote at tbe late election, the largesl part of whom, we think, wld be out iud vote lor Greeley in November.

The Liberals have good reason to believe that rolly 10,000 Republicans who voted against General Democrat, In October, will vote for Greeley in November, making a change of 20,000 votes. Our chances ut carry? ing tne State are therefore first-rate. The. Democrats and Liberal Republicano will have a majority of two In the Uhlo State Senate at the coming session ol the Legislature. There are seventeen Democrats and two Liberals, viz: Senator Casement, of Lake County, and Senator Gage, of Lucas.

This makes nineteen Liberals to seventeen Grantltes. In the House tne Gran ti tee will not have over a hulf-dozen majority. Senator Sherman could hardly be re-elected this winter. POLITICAL DOTS. The voting strength of the New York Navy Yard bas been Increased by 1800 new and loyal workmen.

I Heavy bets were made In Wall street, on Wednesday morning, that Greeley would carry Ohio and Indiana In November. Letters received recently at the headquar? ters of the Liberal Republican Executive Committee Indicate that Connecticut will be carried for the Liberal candidate by from 3,000 to 6,000 majority. Liberals and Demo? crats are co-opera lng sincerely and heartily. An election will be held upon the next as? sembling ol tbe Georgia Legislature, In Jan? uary next, lo fill the place of the Hon. Joshua Hill, whose term will expire in March.

The candidates lor tbe honor most prominent are Hon. H. Y. Johnson, Generals A. H.

Colqultt and John B. Gordon. The Cincinnati Enquirer estimates that lu each of the two thousand townships ol Ohio at least ten Republicans will vole for Greeley who recently voted for the Grant candidate for secretary of State. This alone would make a relative difference of lorty thousand votes, and, omitting the Increased vote which lt ls believed eau be brought out by the earnest Personal exertions of Pendleton, Morgan, hurman, Ewing, and others, would Insure the State in November, lt the estimates be even approximately correct. AN EPISODE OF THE RAIL.

Twins Born on a Raiiroad Train, One In Ohio and the other in West Vir? ginia. the Ohio Sentinel, October 23 The Pacific Express train on the Pan Handle Railroad lele tbe Columbus depot on Friday evening under the charge of Conductor Drury. Nothing transpired io disturb tbe monotony ol the conductor's call for tickets until the train was between Dennison and Stuebenvtlle. Then he was notified that a lady passenger desired his presence. He found the lady evidently in some trouble and embarrass? ment.

To his affirmative response to the query whether he was married, the lady stated that she was on her way lrom Cin? cinnati to meet her husband In New York, and that a crisis was impending, involving the appearance of an additional passenger. TblB startled the conductor, of course, but with a hearth gas an elephant be sat to work lo make the ltdy comfortable. All tbe passen? gers were hasily shuffled Into another car, and such female assistance as could be procured on the train was brougnt Into requisition. In a brief time the mile stranger-a fine bounc? ing til ri ls the ptira-e-put In an ap? pearance, and the conductor congratulated himself on bia bappy escape from a dilemma. With overwhelming with sympathy, he arranged an impromptu wardrobe for the very young lady Hom his own underclothing.

It was not exactly to Ihe style ol i ho ie outflis" advertised lu the New York papers, yet lt served a good purpose. But this Is not ail. The train left Stuebeuville on time, and was soon thundering and around the hills of West Virginia, when the conductor received auolher chock. Tula time it was "a fine, bouncing bo? Twins, by Jove! One a Buckeye and the ot her a Pan-Handler. The re? mainder of Drury's linen weut io start tbe lit? tle fellow on hui Journey through the world.

Then for fear ot bal might happen, the train was burned up. In du? time it reached Pitts? burg, and the Indy and the two untlckeied passengers were tenderly conveyed to com? tortable quarters at the Onion-Depot Hotel, when a telegram was forwarded to the hus? band In New York, which probably lilted bim out of his boots. At last advices mother and children were doing well. The mother ls re? presented as a moBt estimable lady, but not given to the etucly of almanacs. TBE NSW TO BK VEGETABLE AMD FRUIT MARKETS.

GUYOTS TAR CONCENTRATED PROOF LIQUEUR H' Guyot has succeeded in depriving tar of its insupportable sourness and bitternesJ, and in rendering it very soluble.

Profiting by this happy discovery, he prepares a con? centrated liqueur of tar, which in a small volume contains a large proportion of the active principle. tar possesses all the advantages of ordinary tar-water without any of ita draw? backs-. A glass of excellent tar-waler without any disagreeable taste maybe instantaneously obtained by pouring a teaspoonful into a gloss of water. Any one can thus prepare his glass of tar water at the moment ne requires it, thus economizing time, facilitating carriage and obviating the disagreeable necessity of hand? ling tar. Guyot tar replaces advantageously se? veral more or less inactive ptisans in the treatment of colds, bronchitis, coughs, and catarrhs.

Guyot'? tar is employed with the greatest success in the following diseases AS A DB AL GUT. A teasponfal in a glass of water, or two tablespoonfuls in a bottle. BRONCHITIS CATARRH OF THE BLADDER COLDS OBSTINATE COUGHS IRRITATION OF THE CHEST PULMONARY CONSUMPTION WHOOPING COUGH DISEASES OF THE THROAT AS A LOTION. Pure or diluted with a little waler.
