nouenn;“‘
\ .
This instrument is especially designed for the per-
fect application of
on. SAGE'S CATARRH Renew. J
It is the only form of instrument yet invented
with which fluid medicine can be carried high up
and perfectly applied to all parts of the affected nasal
' assages, and the chambers or cavities communicat-
uv therewith, in which sores and ulcers frequently
exIst, and from which the catarrhal discharge gene-
rally roceeds. The want of success in treating
(:3er heretofore has arisen largely from the impos~
- sibility of applying remedies to these cavities and
chambers by any of the ordinary methods. This
Obstacle in the way of effecting cures is entirely
Overcome by the invention of the Douche. In usia
this instrument. the Fluid Is carried 'by Its own weighE
n nulfln torcln or umplu belng ulred,) u one
Ingram lug; full ggntlypfiowingg strearlfio the h ghest
portion of the nasal passages, asses into and thor-
oughly cleanses all the tubes an chambers connected
therewith, and flows out of the opposite nostril. Its use
is pleasant, and so simple that a child can under-
stand it. Full and explicit directions
accompany each instrument. When used With this
Instrument, Dr. Sawe‘s Catarrh Remedy cures recent
attacks of “Cold“ in the Read. I by a few ap-
plications. .
Symptoms of Cntarrh. Frequent head-
ache, discharge falling into throat, sometimes pro:
fuse, watery, thick mucus, purulent, ofi‘ensrve, &c.
In others a dryness, dry, watery, weak or inflamed
eyes, stopping u or obstruction of nasal passages,
nugin" in cars euihess, hawking and coughing to_
clear I roat, u cerations, scabs mm ulcers, voice
altered, nasal twang, offensive breath, impaired or
total deprivation 0 sense of smell and taste, dizzi~
ness, mental depression, loss of up tite,ind1gestion,
enlarged tonsils, tickling cough, c. Onlys few of
these symptoms are likely to be present In any case
at one time. - ‘
Dnsage’s Cnturrh Remedy, when used
with Dr. Plerce’s Nasal Douche, and ac-
companied with the constitutional treatment which
is recommended in the pamphlet that wraps each
bottle of the Remedy. is a perfect specific for this
loathsome disease, and the proprietor offers, In ,
faith, $500 reward for a case he can not cure.
The Remedy is mild nd pleasant to use. containing
no strong or caustic rugs or poisons. The Catarr
Remedy Is sold at 50 cents, Douche at 60 cents, by
all Dragging, or 'either will be mailed by pro-
prietor on receipt of60 cents. , .

INDIAN sunnnsn.
J a'st after the death of the flowers,
And before they are buried in snow,
There comes a festival sfiason
When nature is all aglow—
Aglow with a mystical splendor
That rivals the brightness of spring-'—
Agiow with a beautymore tender
Than ought which fair summer could bring.
Some spirit akin to the rainbow
Then borrows its magical dyes,
And mantles the far-spreading landscape
In hues that bewilder the eyes.
The sun from his cloud-pillowed chamber
Smiles oft on a vision so gay,
And dreams that his favorite children,
The flowers, have not yet passed away.
There’s luminous mist on the mountains.
A light, azure haze in the air,
As if angels, while heavenwsrd soaring
Had left their bright robes fioating there;
The breeze is so soft. so caressing,
It seems a mute token of love,
And floats to the heart like a blessing
From some happy spirit above.
These days so serene and so charming,
Awaken a dreamy delight—-
A tremulous, tearful enlpyment,
Like soft strains of music at night;
We know they are fading and fleeting,
That quickly, too quickly. they’d end,
And we watch them with yearning afi‘ection,
As at parting we watch a dear friend.
Oh, beautiful Indian Summer!
Thou favorite child of the year, _
Thou darling, whom Nature enriches,
With gifts and adornment so dear!
How fain would we woo thee to linger
0a mountain and meadow awhile,
For our hearts. like the sweet haunts of Nature,
Rejoice and grow young in thy smile.

HUNTING A FEATHER.
When I was‘fourteen years of age my
father one day remarked mime, “As soon
as you are old enough to marry I will select
a nice little wife for you, Charley."
.“I’ll select one myself, if I wish to marry,”
I answered, rather curtly.
“You’ll do nothing of the sort,” tarily in-
terposed my mother. “Your father and my-
self are better able to judge what is best for
your welfare in life”. - .
“Aroyou f” 1 inquired.
“Yes, we are, Mr. Imp'ertinencc,” she re-
plied. “When I was a girl my parents
selected your father as my mime husband:
and I never presumed to question either
their authority or judgment ; but children
noviadays set their parents {wishes and
cemmands at defiance. Oh! those truly are
degenerate times.” '
“But I’m not a girl,” I answered.
“ That’s. true,” continued my mother,
warming uplo the theme, “andjit has been
the only source of regret that I have known
in my marriage life. I hoped for a daughter,
but Providence ordered it otherwise.”
“And Providence knew what was best,” I
replied, quoting a phrase that was daily on
my mother’s tongue if not in her practice.
“Charley,” said my father, :w-ilh more
than his usual gravity, “your mother and I
would like to see you well settled in life,
and it is with this view that we hope to see
you one day united with Grace Brantley.
She is an Only child, and her father and my-
self have been friends since boyhood. Mr.
and Grace will inherit all he possesses.
They are coining to pay us a visit in a
couple of weeks, and I wish you to be man-
ly and polite during their stay, for I wish
them to carry away a good impression con-
cerning yOu. Your: mother and myself
talked the matter over with them on their»
last visit.” . '
“Grace Brantley l” I exclaimed ; “that
little snubbed nose thing with red hair, that
was here, the summer before last, and you all
said ball the manners of a full grown lady ?
Look here, father, I‘m nothing but a boy
yet, and don’t know what I may think about
marrying, but one thing I do know, I won’t
marry Grace" Brantley. I’d sooner' run
away as Elavel Brown did, and go to school
with the Brothers and become a priest, and
then I think there will be an end of marry.-
ing.” ‘
My mother uttered a scream and appealed
to my father. ‘.
“Mr. Carter,” she said, “did you bear that ?
Do you know from whence these things
come ? I've begged you long ago to take
that boy away fl'om Mr. Rubnc’s school ;
he may be a very good and devout man for
all I know, but people say he is tainted with
heterodoxy, and Heaven forbid a child of
mine should imbibe such teaching. My an-
cestors were steady ,goiug Puritans,-and I
can’t endure the thought of Charles’s mind
being crammed with pernicious doctrines."
“The Puritans were a set of scamps,” I
exclaimed; “I heard Dr. Rand say so to Mr.
Rubric ' the other day, and the doctor
wouldn’t tell a lie.”
My father chuckled. Hecften had these
bouts with my mother, for theywidely. dif-
fered on religious topics, though I believe
they were in accord on every other subject.
Mr. Brantley, wife and daughter'arrived
in due season. A succession of lucky opera-
tions in the iron business had enabled Titus
Brantley to accumulate a heavy fer-tune,
which he was now enjoying in an ,éasy and
unobtrusive style. His wife was a little
dumpy woman, with something eternally
wrong with her organization. She had tried
every physician of repute within reach of
her, and notwithstanding their unanimous
opinion that her ailments were purely im-
aginary, she still persisted in declaring her-
self ill, and at last found some good natured
physician who humored her whim, and was
successfully treating her with bread pills.
Grace Brantley was twelve years of age,
but so precocious that she would certainly
have been taken to be much older. She
was neither snub nosed or red headed. Her
eyes were a blush gray and her hair a deep
chestnut. She was that style of girl that
people involuntarily call a woman. At
schoOl she had far outstripped those of her
own age, and was already in the higher
branches of her education. Had she guessed
at the remark of Charley Carter concerning
her, she was just the one to have caused him
to feel the temeriiy of his speech. Charley,
for his part, determined not to like her, and
paid her as little attention as was consistent
with common civility. He was of . that age
when boys are most consequential, and con-
sidered Grace too much of a child-to merit
attention. He scarcely ever offered to share
her solitary amusements, and when he did
take a stroll with the little lady he consider-
ed himself bored with the infliction. But
Grace was not without resources, and was
in nognanner dependent upon Charley Car-
ter for either amusement or society. She
was a great reader and a good musician.
The piano of Mrs. Carter was rarely opened
by that lady, and it was only when visitors
came that its keys, yellow from disuse, were
exposed to sight.
My father and Titus Brantley frequently
held long and no doubt interesting conver-
sations, the subject ‘of which I could only
guess; but once when they were walking
together they passed. near where I was
seated unobserved, and I heard Mr. Brant-
ley say : ' ,
“Then you think he admires my little
Grace f” . - , '
“Beyond a doubt," replied my fond parent,
“but he is a peculiar boy in some respects,
and if heimagined we were carving out his
future- I think he would become stubborn.
Trust everything to me, I will manage that
iers satisfactorily. They are young an
there is plenty of time.” _ ~
I was shocked at my father’s hypocrisy,
or be well knew my feelings concerning
Grace Brantley, and. I was almost ready to
cry out a contradiction on the spot, but
thought I had better listen, as they hailed for
a few moments. ,
“Those fifty acres ofyours,” Mr. Brantley
continued, “will be immensely valuable by-
and-by, and as they join mine we will be
able to leave our children a fine inheritance,
to say nothing of ready cash ;" and Titus
Brantley laughed. '
“Humph i” thought I, “that’s generous, at
all events.” - ‘ .
The Brantleys staid a fortnight and then
departed.
Soon after they had gone I one day said
to my mother, “Does father own any proper-
ty near Mr. Brantley’s ?”
“Yes, ~I believe so,” she replied, rather
vaguely. I
“What does it consist in i?” I asked.
“Coal lands,I believe, don’t bother me,”
and she turned away.
Matters went on pretty much as usual
with me until I was fifteen, when I went to
Columbia College. My mother, with ances-
tral pride, was anxious for me to go to Har-
vard, but by advice of Mr. Rubric my father
deter-mi ed to send me to Columbia.
I had ade up my mind to study medi-
cine. My mother was averse to it, but my
father thought it better to allow me to follow
my inclination, on that point at least.
“He may be all hislife in getting a prac-
tice,” suggested my mother, rather iii no.-
turedly. .
“If I were to marry Grace Brantley, I’d
have a patient in her mother right off," I
replied. .
My father laughed outright.

home, and took my seat in the stage for New
York, and on my arrival was duly matricu-
lated. My college life had no important
features that I remember, but I was con-
sidered an average student. 'I got through
creditably, I believe, read medicine, attend-
ed lectures, and received my diploma as an
M. D. With my father’s approbation I took '
an office in the city, and waited until I .was
twenty-three ' for a practice which never
came to me. I was generously supplied with
funds from home, and it was my pride only
which caused me to suffer. Eight years had
passed since I had seen Grace Brantley, and
to tell the truth I had almost forgotten how
she looked. I had plentyof acquaintances,
but had managed to keep out of. love. My
father had done his best to keep little Grace
in my mind by writing me and repeating all‘
he had heard concerning her while she was
absent with herparenis in Europe.
It was a beautiful Autumn morning, and
very warm for the season, that I was stroll-
ing down Broadway, wondering why it was
that my office bell had never received a pro-
fessional ring, when I wasjoiued by Tom
Oakes, a brother M. D., about as successful
as myself in business. We ~walked along
comforting each other, and dept-coating the
healthy season, when a young lady sudden- -

accidentally dropped her glove,a beautiful
shade of purple. ‘

Forbes. “They are allin a jolly slate at the
house, sir. I can’t remember for the last
twenty years when there’s been so muchlife
there as now. You ought to hear Miss
.Grace’s laugh ringing through the halls. It
does our hearts good, for it seems as if old
times were come back again.”
Our land skirted the roadside for nearly
three-quarters of a mile, and at the farther
extremity of a cattle field there was a large
pond, which in winter afforded excellent
skating. At the present time it was frozen.
As we neared the spot, Forbes remarked :
“There’s Mr. Stephen now on the. pond
with Grace.”
I raised my head and looked in the direc-
tion as he spoke. They had not observed
us, though we were quite near. Stephen
Hawks was pushing her across the glassy
surface on a sled. I could distinctly hear
their voices. ‘
Just then she straightened herself in her
seat, and along purple plume waved out in
the sharp breeze. The frozen surface on
which they were sporting was not colder
than my blood at that moment.
“Are you ill, Mr. Charles ?” exclaimed
Forbes, checking his horse and ‘gnziug at
me with an alarmed stare.
“Stop! stop i” I cried. “1’" jump out
here and speak to them. Go on, I’ll follow

A cold frosty morning was the 15th of
December. There had been no snow yet,
but from the leaden color of the sky it was
at hand. As the cars bore me along I buried
my chin in my great coal, and began calling
up the scenes of my youth. I had not visit-
ed home for three years. There must have
been‘a good. many things happened in my
absence that I had hot heard of. I
The shrill scream of the locomotive warn-
ed me that we were approaching the station
where I was ‘to ‘ alight. The brakes grated
harshly against the-wheels, the speed of .the
train slackcncd, and we presentlyislid to the
landing that was three miles distant from
my home. The stark brown trees by the
road seemed likepl'd friends.
“Glad to see, you, Mr. Charles,” said
Forbes, our coachman, coming for'Ward with
a glad smile. "BrOugbt the small carriage
down. Your father would have come along
only be sprained his ankle ycsigrday wlnle

“You don’t say he is at our house ‘2”
“Oh ! bless you sir, he’s been there more
than a week, and I don’t think he’s likely to
leave soon ;” and the man smiled meaningly.
“What makes you think so, Forbes ‘2" I
asked. ' ,
“Well, sir, you see he’s dead set after Miss
Grace, but’I don’t wonder at that ; who
wouldn’t be ? You have no idea, Mr. Charles,
what a splendid young lady Miss Grace has
grown to be. She’s too good. The servants
all say she is an angel. She’s been abroad,
and was telling me about a place in the old
country where I was raised. She remembers
eierything, sir.” '
“Ah I” I thought, “if Stephen Hawks will
keep up that game, he can remain in wel-
come." '
Then the idea shot through my mind that
my father might have taken his faithful old
coachman into his confidence,'and it was
part of the plot to preach up Grace Branile
Stephen Hawks was my second cousin,
and about“ my own age. -I heartily detested
him though I never could account for the
aversion. I don’t think he loved me better
than I did him, We always quarreled as
boys, and it seemed that .we never could get
along amicably.
“How did the accident happen to my
father 1’” I inquired. . ,
“Well, you see, sir,” replied the‘ man, with
a laugh, “Mr. Stephen was out in the field
_with his uncle when he bantered him to
jump a fence, and you know your father
has the rheumatism, so it wasn’t to be won-
dered at when he made the attempt he fell.”
“Buntered my father to jump a fence 1’” I

Then, we could only grope impotenily in the
darkness of blasted fortune and blighted
hopes, wailing gloomily for the helping hand
which we had no right to expect would be
extended to us from those over whom we
had so often foolishly Vauntcd. N ow, led
again into the golden light of thrift and
smiling fortune, we can bless the sublime
charity of our fellow-men, who were only
too eager to forget the silly boastings of our
past in their pangs at the bitter misery of
our present. And, though the glow of honest
pride may to-day fill our hearts, as we take
in the stupendous difference between the
Chicago of then and now, the eternal debt
of gratitude we owe the people of every land
will forever check the revival of old-lime
childish vanity. . .
Pray, then, good folk of everywhere, do
not believe that the hideous events of last
October are rubbed from ofi‘ our memories,
“we gaily recount the bright events of the
year that has flown. The lessons of “fire-
time”,shall never slip us, and the memory.
of your grand benevolence will twine about
our souls when even the remembrances of
friends, home, and loved ones are blurred
with age. As you were swift in your prac-
ticalsympaihy at our woe, so will you be
zealous in your joy at our prosperity.
You were anxious to help to its feet a com-
munity which even the terrible scourge of
one of the most fearful disasters in histor _
was not to crush. That community is equa -
ly anxious to place before you the fact that
it has justified your glorious charity, and
that it is now in a position, should a cruel
fate ever lay its iron hand upon you, SlSIel‘
cities, to repay some of the debt under
which you so generously placed her.
A leading Greeley paper in Texas .says:
“The supporters of the Greelev ticket In the
South do not propose to trust "5 candidate.
The electors chosen will not be compelled
{0 cast their votes for Greeley. We make
no idle assertion, but speak that which we
know to be true, when we say that no can-
didate whojs not true to the South; will
receive her electoral vote.” ’l‘heir OIIjCCt, it
frankly admits, is to elect democratic Con~
gressmen, and it has no fear of what north-
ern democrats may do. '
The Patriot, the central organ of the dem-
ocratic party, gracefully accepts the situa-
tion, and acknowledges that the November
battle has been fought and lost by its side.
It says: “It is useless to disguise that the
State elections on Tuesday have not fulfilled
our expectations. The results have disap-
pointed us iu'manvaays, but chiefly 1n
demonstrating that the liberals have'not
showmtbe strength they claimed With so
much confidence.” »

The Condition of the National Debt of the
United States—Further Reduction, Oct.
1, $10,327,000. " .
The undersigned, merchants, bankers, and
business men of New York, respectfully
submit the following statements for the in-
formation of all parties interested therein:
The republican candidate for president 0f
the United States is Gen. Ulysses S. Grant,
who was unanimously named for reelection
at Philadelphia, in May last. ,
At the commencement of Gen. Grant’s
first term of office, March 4, 1860, the Na-
tional debt was $2,525,000,000. 0n the Ist
day of September, of the present year, there
had been paid and canceled of the principal
of this debt, $348,000,000, leaving a balance
of principal remaining unpaid at that date,
in accordance with the official statement of
the Secretary of the Treasury, the sum 0
$2,177,000,000. .
Of this amount $1,777,000,000.re rcprro
sealed in a funded debt, bearing interest in
gold, while $400,000,000 remain unfunded
in Treasury circulation.
Up to the close of the last session of con-
gress, the annual reduction of taxes, as
measured by the rates of 1869, had been as
follows:
Internal revenue tax. . . . . . . . . . $82,000,000
Income tax (repealed). . . .; . . . . 30,000,000
Duties on imports. . . . . ._. .. . . . . 48,000,000
Making a total of... . . . . . . $170,000,000
The reduction of. the yearly interest on
the public debt exceeds the sum of $32,000,
000, of which $21,743,000‘are saved by the
purchase and cancellation of the six per
cent. public securities. -
A careful consideration of these results of
a prudent and faithful administration of the
National Treasury, induces the undersigned
to express the confident belief that the gener-
al welfare of the country, the interests of
is commerce and trade, and the consequent
stability 0. its public securities would be
best promoted by the rte-election of Gen
Grant . to the office of president of the
United States. I

Grant, Sherman, and Hood.
Gen. William S. Hillyer, formerly of Gen
ra'nt’s staff, who has been doing good ser
ice in the late campaign in Ohio, in a re-
cent speech told an anecdote of Gen; Grant,
which illustrates his dry humor. _
“I remember when Sherman was at Al-
lanla, I was sitting one day with Gen. Grant,
at City Point, out before his “tent. A dis.
patch was handed Grant, . and I noticed
while he was Tending it, a broad smile on
his face. When he was through I asked
rim “What is the fun i’.’ He replied, “It is
letter from Sherman,” at the same time
handing it to me. I read substantially as
follows: “I deem itfuiteIIy impracticable
to hold Atlanta as my base of supplies. I
have not troops enough to defend so long a
line of communication. My plan is to des-
roy Atlanta, and, taking my army with me,
move to the sea, living off the.countr.y.
Hood will. follow me, and be kept busy
guessing what my plans are instead of my
guessing his, which is twenty-five per cent.
advantage. HaveAI your permission so to
do ?" After reading it, I said to Gen. Grant,
“ I do not see anything to laugh at, I think
it a very sensible letter.” “What I was,
laughing at,” said Grant, “ is this: If Sher»
man proposes to take his whole army w'th
him, and move to the sea, living off the
country, and expecting Hood to follow him,
what the deuce does he expect Hood to live
off of in his rear ‘9” '
The question arises, what does Grant (.2:-
pecl Greeley to line of of in his rear, as he
holds his triumphant march through the
land ? .
Ge'n. Hillyer, formerly of St. Louis,now a
lawyer in New York, is a warm friend of
Gen. Grant, and an eloquent speaker. Can't
we have him in Norwalk.’ "

Beecher says that religion that isn’t

According to the political papers every
man who dares to differ from their views is
a scoundrel and villain of deepest dye, and
unworthy of belief. And the people are ex-
pected to like such reading.

Further and more numerous returns from
different parts of Pennsylvania confirm re-
ports heretofore received of a general boiling
of the ticket on the part of the democrats.
In Erie the democratic committee sold out
its torches before noon of the day after

such other campaign material as would Sell.
The liberals in the town protested vigorous-

Mr. Eaton who is the acknowledged
leader of the democratic party in this State,
said at a democratic meeting in American
Hall irfew evenings before the October
elections that he would be frank with his
audience and say to them that if the States
of Pennsylvania. Ohio and Indiana went for
Grant, or two of them, Connecticut would
go for Grant also. Mr. Eaton never took
much stock in the Greeley movement, and
he will probably now back up his candid
statement, and concede that Greeley has no
hope in this State.
