It happened on the Lehigh Valley Rail road. The train had jnst left Easton, and the conductor was making his first round, when he observed a small white dog, with a bushy tail and bright black eyes sitting cosily on the seat beside a young lady so handsome that it made his heart roll over like a lop-sided pumpkin. But duty was duty, and he remarked, in his most depre catory manner. ‘•I’m very sorry, madam, but it’s against the rutes to have dogs in the passenger cars.” “Oh, my is that so and she turned up two lovely brown eyes at him, beseech ingly. “What in the world will I do? I can’t throw him away. He’s a present from my aunt.” “By no means, miss. We'll put him in a baggage car, and he’ll be just as happy as a robin in spring.” “What! put my nice white dog in a nas ty, stuffy, dusty baggage car?” “I’m awfully sorry miss, I do assure you, but the rules of this company are as inflexible as the laws of the Medes and them other fellows, you know. He shall have my overcoat to lie on, add the brake man shall give him grub and water every time he opens his mouth.” “I just think it's awful mean, so I do; and I know somebody will steal it, so they will,” and she showed a half notion tocry that nearly broke the conductors heart; but he was firm, and sang out to the brake man, who was playing a solo on the stove: “Here, Andy, take this dog over into the baggage car, and tell ’em to take just the best kind of care of him.” The young lady pouted, but the brake man reached over and picked the canine up as tenderly as though it was a two weeks’-old baby, but as he did so a strange expression came over his face, like a wave of cramp colic, and he said hastily to the conductor: “Here, you just hold him a minute till I put this poker away,’’ and he trotted out at the car door and held on to the brake wheel, shaking like a man in an ague. The conductor no sooner had his hands on the dog than he looked around for a hole to fall through. “VVh-why, this is a worsted dog.” “Yes, sir,” said the little miss, demure ly, “didn’t you know that?” “No, I'm awful sorry to say I didn’t know that;” and he laid the Christmas dog down on the owner’s lap, and walked out on the platform, where he stood half an hour in the cold, trying to think of a hymn tune to Buit the worst sold man on the Lehigh Valley road. ■Some live weeks since the mare of Ur. 8. A. Nile* of Ibis city, was badly cut and bruised, by running away and Jumping down an embankment. Several very bad flesh wounds were made. The Horse Liniment, prepared by L. H. Titeomb of this city, was applied, and It has been used during the disa bility of the runaway. Now the wounds are all healed, and If the animal could speak It would give iu its testimony tor Tltcomb’s Liniment.—[Erses btc Journal, Jan, Wth. Please Read the following Unso licited Testimony!

The next Ccon Republican National Conven tion fo? the nomination of candidates for Presi dent’ ,nd Vice President of the United States, will be held in the city of Cincinnati, on ednesday, June 14tb, 1876, at 12 o’clock noon, and will con aist of delegates from each State equal to twice the number or iU Senators and Representatives in Congress and of two delegates from each organ ized Territory and the District of Columbia. In calling the convention for the election ot delegates the committees of the scveial States are recommended to invite all republican electors and nil other voters, without regard to past political difference or previous party affiliation, who are oppoted to reviving sectional issues, and desire to promote friendly feelings and permanent harmony throughout the country by maintaining and en forcing all the constitutional rights of every citi zen, including the full and free exercise of the rizht of zuffrage without intimidation and wuti out fraud, and who are in favor of continued pro locution and fuller punishment of all officia. di= honesty and an economical administiatian of the government by honest, faithful and capable officer* who are in favor of making such informs in the government as experience may ii ora time to time suggest, who are opposed to impairing the credit of the nation by depreciating any oi its ob ligations. and in favor of sustaining in every way the national faith and financial honor; who hold thst the common school system is the nursery of American liberty, end should be maintained ab solutely free from sectarian control; who be lieve that for the promotion of these ends the direction of the government should continue to be conhded to those who adhere to the principles of 1776, support them as incorporated in the con stitution and laws, and who are in favor of recog nizing and ztrengthening the fundamental princi ple of national unity in this centennial anuivers sary of the birth of the republic.

How did he make it He entered Congress a poor man in 186:1.” Such is the tenor of a refrain now going the rounds of the democratic press with sundry mollifica tions and variations. In answer thereto it may be well to say authoritatively thal Mr. Blaine is not a very rich man and thal he was not a poor man when he entered Congress in 180:5. lie lives here amon; his friends and neighbors in the same houst he occupied before he entered Congress and our assessors’ list effectually contra diets the silly stories of his large wealth At the same time Mr. Blaine is very com fortably supplied with this world's goods and no man in any community has eve used his resources more wisely, more gen erously, more charitably. At his homi these stories pass as the Idle wind. It ii onl^ in distant States where the facts art unknown that mischief may arise Iron this circulation of untruths. As a ver; good answer to these stories we requoti the subjoined paragraph from the l’itts burgh (Pa.) Commercial, near which cit; Mr. Blaine’s estate is located. The Com mercial says: “One of the frequent charges made by democratic papers is that Mr. Blaine en tered Congress a poor man in 1863, am is now a 'millionaire.’ As to his being a millionaire, it is to be presumed the as sertion is merely one ol those extravagani statements which belong to the literature of political campaigns. But as to his be ing a ‘poor man in 1863,’ every one fa miliar with the coal trade and the value ol coal properties in our immediate vicinage on the Monongahela river, knows the as sertion to be completely at variance wit! the fact. Long before 1863, indeed, a: far back as the democratic administration of President Buchanan, it was known thal Mr. Blaine owned one of the finest coal properties on the Monongahela, which re turned a much larger income than a Con gressional salary, many years before he was a candidate for Congress. This fact the Alleghany County Registry of Deeds establishes in the most indisputable man ner, and we refer to it simply to show how wild and reckless certain papers have grown to be in their charges against con spicuous and influential republicans. It should be stated, moreover, that the busi ness reputation of Mr. Blaine in circles where he is well known, stands very high. Those who are familiar with his attention to details, his industry, his energy, his en terprise, and his integrity, find no cause for wonder in the fact that he has become, not a millionaire, but a man of independ ent fortune, destined probably, in the de velopment and advance of his coal prop erty, ultimately to attain to the possession of large wealth.” From the Washington Republican. SEES A TIONA L STORIES. There can be no doubt that many of the statements sent from this city by the “As soclated Press dispatches” and the cor respondents of the Eastern papers, art either absolute fabrications, or grossly ex aggerated. These statements are gener ally with reference to the testimony ol witnesses before the investigating com mittees of the House, and are the conse quence of an attempt on the part of these committees to keep their proceedings se cret. This course enables the member! to drop hints as to the character of the de velopments before them, magnifies theli importance in the eyes of the news-gath ering fraternity, who are ever on tin lookout for something sensational, and en ables Ibis class to manufacture the 1110s startling stories of those who have been or are now. In public life. Thus the floot of defamation grows In volume, and in justice is being constantly perpetrated. A case In point is that ot Mr. Sim Cha ney, who was a witness before the Com mittee on the War Department, with ref erence to post traderships, who now de nies that he gave any such testimony as iom I’edro desires to come to this country as a private citizen, and does not wish to have any pub lic or pi ivate receptions. The United States government will demand Winslow’s extradition tinder the Ashburton treaty of 1842, regardless of the act of Parliament of 1870. Some mean fellow, after saying there is one phy sician to every 800 inhabitants, adds that they be gin this way, but that after a while there arc not so many inhabitants. John Ackerman, a veteran of the war of 1812, and said to be the last suiviving witness of the Burr-Hamilton duel, died at ucipio, In i., on the 2d inst., S7 years old. A vast bed of marl, covering an area of 1,000 square miles, from twelve to thirty feet deep, and very rich in potash, soda and phosphorus, has been discovered in Kentucky. This is of vast importance to the tobacco regions. Two important manuscripts of the Hebrew Scriptures have recently been discovered; one in a cave under an old synagogue in Aleppo, the other in the Karaite synagogue in Cairo; and I)r Ginsbuty, a distinguished Orientalist, is now ir the East engaged in collating them. Articles arc cpmiug for the Centennial Exhibi tion in abundance. Twelve hundred tons addi. tional are on their way from France, while a col. lection of paiutiDgs valued at §7.50,000 is coming from England. Canado is doing her part nobly and will also be creditably represented. Shocking atrocities arc reported to have beer committed by the Bosnian insurgents on the Chris tian inhabitants for reftisi ig to participate in the revolution. In Pagnita the torch was applied tc two hundred dwellings, and more titan that num ber of innocent persons were massacred. Similar cruelties have been indicted in other localities. The Governor of Bosnia having advised the proc lamation of a holy war has been recalled. At Austin, Nevada, a few days ago some per son dropped some quick-silver on the sidewalk, and an Indian attempted to pick it up, but with out success until a happy thought occurred. The happy thought led him to lay his handkerchief on the sidewalk, and persuade the liquid metal on to it with a chip. Then he triumphantly picked up the handkerchief by four corners, and, while a look of exultation gleamed from his eagle eve, the quicksilver percolated through the fabric as though it were in a sieve, and again gleamed in the sunlight on the pavement. Thereat poor I.o was disgusted and passed on. SEW PUBLICATIOSE. Harper’s Magazine for April, with eighty-five illustrations, contains a rich variety of matter, suited to all classes of readers. The end of the Second Book of “Daniel Deronda,” George Eliot’s new novel, is given in this number. Julian Haw thorne’s “Garth” is continued. A story of con siderable length, entitled “Old Gardiston,” is con tribuied by Constance Fenimorc Woolson. It is a Southern story, and its characters are strongly drawn. Three excellent short stories arc contrib uted by Arthur llastiugs, Anna C. Swazev and Mary It. Iligham. Benson J. Bossing’s opening article on “The Romance of the Hudson,” beau tifully illustiated, is not confined to Revolutionary events, but deals also with lighter legends and matters of literary interest. Mrs. Rebecca Hard ing Davis’s exceedingly entertaining paper on “Old Philadelphia” will be lead everywhere with the greatest interest. A second paper will follow, treating of the Revolutionary period. Professor Samuel Bockwood's second paper on “The Micro acope,” amply illustrated, presents some very cu rious results of microscopic investigation. The “First Century” paper this month, devoted to "Progress of the Fine Arts,” is contributed by S. S. Conant, and is illustrated with sixteen portraits, beginning with that of Paul Revere, of Revolu tionary fame, and ending with that of John F. Kensctt. Dr. Samuel Osgood contributes an illus trated paper on “St. Johuland,” a beautiful char ity conceived years ago by the Rev. Dr. Muhlen berg, and now in successful operation. A homely article full of practical aud important sugges tions, is contributed by Dr. Robert Tomes, entitled "At, before, and after Meals.” William R. Hoop er gives in a short article, a very interesting ac count of the famous “Tulip Mania,” catly in the seventeenth century. The poetry of the Number is contributed by Rose Tetrv Cooke, Bold Hough ton, Celia Thaxtcr and A. F.

Hocal anti gtate Kctos. Regular assembly of Alpha Council at Hallo wed this evening, at G o'clock._ Yesterday was a day having all the charms and beauties of early spring lime. W e see on every hand the picmouitory signs of spring cleaning. The trial progressing at the court house envel opes a fearful statu of domestic infelicity ami want of haimony. The people seem to like to hear it, as they crowd the court house daily. '■Ilo.v lute is it, Bill '“Lock at the boss and see if he's diunk yet; if lie isn't it can't he much after eleven." Does he keep good time .'p.re did they set the town clock by his nose." Who is responsible for the report that tap Amos Baker is to take charge of the Clarion this season r—Gardiner Reporter, April Mh. We have all along understood that the Clarion will continue to be commanded by Capt. Charles McLaughlin of this city, who has served the trav elling public acceptably for several years. A gentleman walking up from Hallowed, the other motniDg, on the railroad track, found, just above Butt’s gully, the body of a large Newfound land dog, lying near the track, its head nearly severed from the body. The train of the previous night had probably run over the poor animal. Was the dog sleeping on the track, or was it a case of suicide Wo publish elsewhere a description of Hill’s Manual, a new and practical hook just issued from the press, which is adapted to the wants of every body. The work is a perfect cyelopcdia of social and business forms, used in the cvciy-day affairs of life. In all respeots the book is most attractive' and valuable, and is alike useful to old and young in every condition of life- _ Rev. Dr. Quinby of this city, visited Rage the other day at the Insane Hospital, talked with him ftcely, and the doctor came away convinced that the unfortunate man is insane. He showed a good deal of feeling when Dr. Quinby told him that an application had been made to place his daughter in the Industrial School and said he thought it would be a good place for her. Walden Rice of the State Prison, was ia the city yesterday, for the purpose of bringing to the Insane Hospital a convict from the Slate Prison, who had become insane. Ilis name is Janies il son, 2G years old, committed from Cumberland county for larceny, for the term of five years, lie had already served two years, and lias been in sane for several months. _ The Assessors are makiog their "grand rounds.' l’cople me temporarily absent from home, remem bering all at once that they had a standing en gagement with distant friends to visit them about the first of April. Those who remain at home find themselves “sc'zed and possessed” of a very small amount of taxable property. It is astonish ing how property shrinks in value about this time of the year. _ Mr. 11. C. Clement of this city, was driving down ltincs’ hill last evening, in a skeleton wag on, when his horse became frightened by an ob ject thrown from the window of Robert Doyle’s house. Mr. Clement finding that he could not control the animal, reined him up to the roadside, causing the wagon to npset. Mr. Clement was thrown out, and striking upon his back w as quite badly bruised, lie was taken to his boarding place, the Mansion House. The American Literary Union of Philadelphia iu making an exhibit of autographs, literacy cur iosities, etc., in the Centennial Exhibition, have sent for the autograph or autograph letter of the first Governor of Maine, as well as of the present Governor.

The ice having left the river, the mystery of the missing Clapp girl is again revived. It must be well remembered by all our readers that Miss Ella I,. Clapp left her father’s house one evening in October last, and has not since been heard from Theory after theory was entertained in regard to her disappearance, but all were abandoned, till a terrible state of uncertainty pervaded the minds of the people. This has since continued. There is a bare possibility that she may have thrown herself into the Kennebec. Although a thorough search was made for the body at the time, some tiacc may jet be found of her, now that the river is free of ice. Many years ago, the body of a young lady was found in the river here, after it bad remained in the water all winter. Will all humane persons, whose calling leads them to the river, please be on the lookout? by doing so, they will receive the gratitude of the parents and friends of the missing young lady.

Mr. Editor:—When a man is “very temper ance,” he can go upon the stage of a Sunday af ternoon, express himself, aud feel better. Being •a woman, I have no chance to say what I wish to the Reform Club unless you will kindl y give me space in the Journal. Everywhere and always we hear the Club returning thanks to the women of Augusta, and, never having been able to do anything for them invself, 1 am free to sav they have good reason. But there is also much for which the women have to, and do, thank the Club. I cannot say w hat 1 mean any better than to state my own case. I have a brother just at the right stage of early manhood to receive my cider-sis terly hints and warnings with a mild, considerate superiority it is woith something jnst to see. Now 1 see tbo-’e whose influence over him I had most reason to fear, because it is they who make dissi pation appear most attractive, the young men of his own age and a few* years older, banded to gether to keep him out of, instead of leading him into, mischief, and with all my heart 1 thauk God and them.

S. Whiskey Trial. «Col Brodhead of St. Louis, testified before the whiskey fraud select committee, that the circular of Pierrepont had the effect of frightening wit nesses iu St. Louis. Two of them, Fitzroy and Beauvis, came to him and told him that their wives were greatly alarmed at publications in the newspapers, explaining the effect of that circular, and they feared that their husbands would at once be.thrown into jail. Col. Brodhead had one of the treasury detectives in St. Louis watching the movements of Babcock's agents, and he re ported that two of Whiteley’s favorite burglars in St. Louis were intending to steal papers from the district attorney’s office. The detective went to the bmglars and told them their mission was kuown, and that they had better clear. Subsequently the detective reported to Brod head that Babcock paid #"200 to these burglars. Brodhead gave the name of the detective, who is now iu Washington and ready to come before the committee, and is, according to Brodhead. one of the beat men in the secret service iu the treas ury. In relation to the testimony of Gill, the letter carrier, he said Revenue Collector Parker of Col rad o, who was working in the interest of the de fence, visited Joyce at Jefferson City aud then came dowu to St. Louis, calling together all the mail carriers aud a-king them if they had not taken Joyce’s letter to Babcock, containing the $500 which was mailed by Everest, out of a box. This, in llrodbead’s opinion, show ed that the story of Gill was concocted between the defence, Par ker and Joyce. He will aKo swear that Po-tmas ter T illey of St. Louis had a dozen mail carriers ready to corioborate Gill, in case the prosecution hud ’attempted to impeach him. More Corruption. D. Lawrence Simpkins testified before the com mittee investigating the alleged corrupt sale of a naval cadetship by Representative l'uiman of Fla., corroborating the two w itnesses who swore last week that Pm man told them that he w’ould not sell the cadetship to Simpkins for #300, be cause another party had offeied him $500.

Thackeray, on sitting down to one of Dolmonico s consummate spreads, ex claimed, “Now, boys, don’t let us say a word.” This showed, undoubtedly, a nice appreciation of the good things before him, aud a general sense of the require ments for the satisfactory disposition of a choice feast. Though serious discourse of any kind, involving the wrangle of ar gument or the tediousness of long narra tive and stolid sermonizing, should be banished from the table aud be relegated to the political ball, the bar, the newspa per office, and the pulpit, whence they usually come, entire silence while eating is by no means desirable. “Chatted food,” says the old proverb, “is half di gested,” and there is no doubt that quiet and agreeable conversation at meals in crease enjoyment and facilitates digestion. The crisp remark, the brisk banter, the tart gossip, the spicy anecdote, the spark ling wit and babbling humor, when served up in the intervals between the various courses of a meal, have all the exhilaiat ing effect of wine without its dangers, prevent dull pauses, and sustain that live ly flow of the animal spirits, especially that of the stomach and its associated or gans. The intrusion, however, of serious discourse and topics of business requiring deep thought aud awakening grave reflec tion of anxious emotion is fatal to good digestion. The reputation of many a wit, humorist, and philosopher is greatly due to their say ings at the dinner or supper. From Ra belais down to Charles Lamb, eating and drinking have ever been associated with wit and humor; and they and Johnson, Barke, Sheridan. Rogers, Sydney Smith, Hook, and many others would without their table-talk lose half their fame. Ben Johnson was in bis best and merriest mood over his sack or ale, and is it not Shakes peare himself who speaks of “setting the table in a roar?” These were all, for the most part, hearty and thriving feeders, and who can doubt that the attic salt with which they seasoned their feasts stimulat ed the taste, excited desire, and strength ened the digestion which waits on appe tite ?—Dr. Robert Tomes, in Harpers Mag azine for April. journal Published Every Wednesday at Augusta, Mr ■Y 1PRAOUE, OWEN A NASH.

CENTAUR LINIMENTS. 80 nearly perfect are the recipes of these wonder fnl pain-soothing and healing Centaur Liniments that we can confidently say they will alleviate any pain arising from flesh, hone or muscle de rangement8. We do not pretend that they will mend a broken leg or exterminate boils, but even in such cases they will reduce the inflammation and stop the pain. Nor can we guarantee the prop er results w here the body is poisoned by whiskey. Temperance is as necessary to a proper physical, as mental condition. The White Centaur Liniment is particularly adapted to all cases of Rheumatism, Lumbago, Neuralgia, Erysipelas Itch, Sprains, Chillblains, Cuts, Bruises, Stings, Poisons, Scalds, Sdatica, Weak Back, Pains in the side, Wounds, Weeping Sinews, Burns, Frosted Feet, Palsy, Ear-ache, Tooth-ache, Head ache, Ulcers, Old Sores, Broken Breasts, Sore Niples, Sore Throat, Croup, Dipthe rin, etc. The most 01 these complaints the Centaur Liniment will cure; all of them it will benefit, it will extract the poison from bites and stings, and will cure burns and scalds without a scar. The fol lowing is but a sample of a thousand similar le ti monials: “Antioch, III., Dec. l, 1S74. “My w ile has for a long time, been a terrible suf ferer from Rheumatism. She has tried many phy-1 sicians and many remedies. The only tiling which i has given her relief is Centaur Liniment. 1 am re joiced to say this has cured her. W. H. RING, Postmaster.” It is an indisputable fact that the Centaur Lini ments are performing cures never before effected b)* any preparation in existence,—like Chronic Rheumatism of thirty years’ standing, straightening fingers and joints whi^h had been stifftbr six years, taking the soreness from burns, Ac. I One dollar, or even fifty cents, invested in Cen taur Liniment will be within reach when an acci dent occurs, and will do more good than any amount of money paid for medical attendance. When physicians are called they frequently use this Liniment, and of course charge several prices tor it. The Yellow Centaur Liniment is adapted to the lough Bkin, muscles ami flesh of the animat creation. Its effects upon severe eases of Spavin, Sweeny, Wind-Gall, liig Head anil Poll Evil, are little less than marvellous. Messrs. J. McClure A Co., Druggists, cor. Elm and Front Sts., Cincinnati, O., eay: “In our neighborhood a number of teamsters are using the Centaur I.iniment. They pronounce it superior to anything they have ever used. We sell as high as four to uve dozen bottles per month to owners of horses and mules.” We have volumes of testimonials describing cures of Sprains, Kicks, Galls, Poll-Evil, flig-Head and even Founders, which are little less than mar vels. No owner of an animal can afford to be with out a bottle of Centaur Liniment, which any day may prove wortli twenty times its cost. Sold everywhere, but prepared only at the Laboratory of J. B. UOSE CO., 41; Dev St., New Yoke. Castoria! I Cross, sickly bubies and children may enjoy health, anil mothers have rest, if they will use Cas toria. Worms, feverishness, teething, wind coll sour stomach anil undigested food make children cross, and produce sickness. Castoria will assimilate the food, expel worms and correct all these things. For twenty years Ur. Pitcher experimented in his private practice to pro duce an effective Cathartic and stomach regulator which would be as effective as Castor Oil, without its unpleasant taste or recoil. The reputation of his experiment extended. Phy sicians and nurses rapidly adopted hij remedy, to which he gave the name ol Castoria. Castoria is as pleasant to take as honey, regu lates the stomach and bowels, and does not gripe. It is adapted to all ages, contains no alcohol, and Is absolutely harmless to the most tender infant. Try Castoria once, and you will never be without it. Prepared at the Laboratory’ of J. B. Rose A Co, 46 Dey Street, New York. 13w5 CHENEY BROTHERS’ American Silks!

It stimulates the nutri tive organs to “healthy activity, and preserves both the hair and its beauty. Thus brushy, weak or sickly hair becomes glossy, pliable and strengthen ed; lost hair regrows with lively expression; tail ing hair is checked and stablished; thin hair thick ens; and faded or gray hair resume their original color. Its operation is sure and harmless. It cures dandruff, heals all humors, and keeps the scalp cool, clean and soft—under which conditions, dis eases of the scalp are impossible. As a dressing lor ludies’ hair, the Vigor is prais ed for its grateful aud agreeable perfume, and val ued for the soil lustre and richness of tone it im parts.-’ [PREPARED RY DR. «J. C.
