Counter,eiovoment to One Whish It 'Was Believed Southern Sympathizers Had on Foot—Confidential Disclosures Made by the Old Tobacconist. "During the first year of the war," a grizzled colonel remarked, while recall- ing incidents of the great rebellion, "business connected with the recruiting and equipping of volunteers in Pennsyl- vania took me .frequently to Washing- ton, and, as the hotels in that city soon became crowded and uncomfortable, I made it a custom to stop at Barnum's, • in, Baltimore, remain overnight there and run over to the capital early in the morning, and thus I passed many nights during 1861 in the famous old hotel of the Monumental. City. Near it was a large tobacconist's shop, where I discovered a superior grade of cigars was sold, and of this shop I .became a regular customer. Ordinarily I was served by a -young salesman, but I fre- quently saw in the shop an old gentle- man who, I presumed, was the proprie- tor. One day I was rather surprised by the old gentleman's stepping forward to wait on me himself. 'After I was served he said: " '1f you are not in a hurry, sir, I would be pleased to have you walk into my private office and have a smoke..' "I readily assented, and he -led the way to a room at the rear of the store, separated from it by a glass partition, plainly but comfortably furnished, and having the appearance of long and ha- bit -nal use. Pushing toward me a large split bottomed rocker, my host remark- ed: " 'Here, for many years, I have been accustomed to receive my friends, of whom I had many, but I am sorry to say that now the number is sadly di- miniehed ' " 'Why so?' I asked. " 'Because of differences in opinion,' he replied. 'I need not remind you of the condition the whole country is in, or tell -you how completely men vary in their .ideas of duty. Nowhere is that va- riance greater than here in Baltimore, and nowhere is there greater danger of its leading to a calamity.' " 'You surprise me,' I exclaimed. 'I knew there was considerable secession sentiment here, and that months ago it exhibited itself openly, leading to blood- shed on the streets, -but I thought all that had passed away.' " 'By no means,' he replied. 'The rebel sentiment in Baltimore is as in- tense and bitter today as it ever was. The apparent quiet is only on the sur- face. You are in the service of the Union, and it may be as well for you to be informed exactly what the situation here is.' le of Bal Has pleasure in intimating to his patrons and the public generally, that the Kippen Mills were never int better shape to give entire satisfaction in Griting and Chopping' Than they are now.

Roberts' Drug Store, to Get Free Samples of Dr. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills. Hundreds Now Testing the Remedy in this Vicinity. NOW 1?OR RESULTS. An intense interest was created in this vicinity by the announcement in last week's' issue, that a free package of Dr. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills would be given away to any person who would . call and ask for it at Roberts' Drug Store. - This interest was shown by the unexpect- edly numerous calls made at the above store. Many of the callers, who are sufferers from kidney complaints, expressed their astonish- ment at the offer to make no charge for the samples. Heretofore, the practise of med- icine proprietors is to require pay in advance, and let the afflicted take the chance of cure. The proprietors of Dr. Hobbs fSparagus Kidney Pills are reversing this practise, preferring to exercise the golden rule of `= doing to others as they would be done by." They believe, because it has been demon- strated in every instance,that if those affect- ed with kidney troubles once try these pills, they will be convinced of their great merit, and get well by their use. For; this reason they made arrangements with J. S. Roberts, to freely distribute as many sample boxes as should be called for during the last seven days. Everyone who asked for a box was given it free of charge. Some of those calling for packages, have expressed themselves as follows :— 'The science of medicine has certainly advanced when the proprietors of a remedy can stake so mush upon a free and universal teat of its merits." "The honest and straightforward manner in. which the medicine is offered for trial, gives me confidence to use. it. I hope it will prove helpful." "Dr. Hobbs announcement that he has made a great discovery which will cure and • build up the kidneys, and his offer to prove it free of charge is a novel proposition, and gives me great hope of relief." "This is certainly a fair proposition. I have everything to win and nothing to lose." - Many will be curious to know what are the results of the test of these pills now go- ing on in the -neighborhood. It is a; little too soon to look for results,probably another week will make them known. If those get- ting the samples have faithfully followed the directions, they will -•be encouraged to persever in their use. It is gratifying to learn . that wherever similar distributions have taken place, there has followed a large sale of the remedy, and many lettere of gratitude have been written by those who have regained lost health. Every person who knows or suspects that his kidneys urinary passages are affected ; every person who has any of the following symptoms, should make a test of these pills without delay, viz :—Pains in the back or sides, Headache, Nervousness, Frequent Thirst, Shortness of Breath, Puffiness of the Eyelids, Swelling of the Feet. or Ankles, Dark Colored or Scanty Urine, with album- inous or other deposits in the urine, or too frequent urination. For the benefit of interested peraons,living out of town who, from any reason, failed to get a sample,Dr. Hobbs authorizes us to say, if you will cut out the coupon below and mail it to the Hobbs Remedy Co., Chicago, Illinois, with your name and address, a sam- ple box of these pills will be sent you by mail, postpaid, and free of expense.

All the slave - holders are so, and they are the leading citizens. Following them is the class which always toadies to what is consid- ered the aristocracy, and after these comes a large disorderly element known as the plug uglies, who are wilding and ready to do anything that looks like re- sistance to constituted authority. Now, I know beyond doubt that the leading secessionists here are thoroughly organ- ized and are determined, the first favor- able opportunity that offers, to declare openly -for the new Confederacy and car- ry Baltimore certainly, and Maryland if possible, out of the Union.' ` 'How is all this to be done?' I in- quired. "'Their plan is this: They know every man upon whom they can rely, and their strength is well understood. They have clubs organized, whish meet regularly. The leaders have oontrol of plenty of money, and supplies of arms are available. Regular communication is had with the Confederate leaders in Virginia, and they are waiting only for -a definite, tangible opportunity to strike. Such an. opportunity would come if the Confederate army made an advance to- ward Washington—a thing they expect —or should the Union army meet with another serious reverse in the east. If Beauregard had pursued McDowell after the battle of Bull Run, they would have risen then, and many were the curses heaped upon him for his failure, as they expressed it, to follow up his victory.' •- "'What,' • I asked, `do you Union mea propose to do if the movement you anticipate is made?' " 'Burn the city,' he replied. 'Just as certainly as , the Russians burned Moscow will we burn.Baltimore if the rebels here take it out of the Union.' " 'How can you,' so few comparative- ly in numbers, do this?' " 'Well, sir, we, too, are organized and for -this one purpose. In every part of the city preparations have been made, and when the time comes 100 or more fires will be started at once. Do you know what this is?' he asked, taking from a closet a ball of tow, cotton, or oakum about the size of a large cocoa- nut. 'It is a fire ball, thoroughly satu- rated with turpentine. Plenty of these are ready, and at an understood signal they will be lighted and thrown where they will certainly prove effective: Oh, we know well enough that we cannot resist the organized rebels, but you can rely upon it that only the ruins of Bal- tmore will ever become a part of the elaveholding Confederacy-' "I never saw my old 'Union loving kbacconist after that evening, for not long afterward I was sent to the army in the southwest and remained there until the end of the war. We all know that Baltimore remained in the Union and was not burned, but we know, too, that the Confederate army never made a serious advance on Washington, so that the opportunity waited for by the rebels in the Mpaumetltal City never cam.. How =oh truth, if any, there was in the old maa's story must remain unknown. I only tell the tale se it was told to me. "—Now York Bim. The Cook Company, . Windsor, Ontario.

New York Policeman Rewarded Fos Catching a Burglar. Hon. Theodore Roosevelt writes an Article entitled "The Roll of Honor of the New York Police" for The Century. Mr. Roosevelt says: Early in our term we promoted a pa- trolman to the grade of roundsman for activity in catching a burglar under rather peculiar circumstances, I hap- pened to note his getting a burglar one week. Apparently he had fallen into the habit, for he got another the next week. In the latter case the burglar es- caped from the house soon after mid- night and ran away toward Park ave- nue, with the policeman in hot chase. The New York Central railroad runs under Park avenue, and there is a succession of openings in the top of the tunnel. Finding that the policeman was gaining on him, the burglar took a desperate chance and leaped down one of these openings at the risk of break- ing his, neck. Now the burglar was running for his liberty, and it was the part of wisdom for him to imperil life or limb, but the policeman was merely doing his duty, and nobody could have blamed him for not taking the jump. However, he jumped, and in this par tioular case° the hand of the Lord was heavy upon the unrighteous. The bur- glar had the breath knocked out of him, and the "cop" didn't. When his victim could walk, the officer trotted him around to the station house, and a week afterward he himself was promoted, it . appearing upon careful investigation that he was sober, trustworthy and strictly attentive to his duty. Here again it seems to me that we followed the eminently common sense plan of promoting a man who had earn- ed his promotion by faithful and dis- tinguished service and by proved supe- rior capacity. We cared no more for the policeman's views on the tariff or the • currency than we did for those of the burglar. Our interest and the inter- est of citizens generally was to have the. officer catch that burglar and otherwise do his duty. If ho did his duty, we were for him ; if he did not, we were against him. In neither event did we . care whether the officer had or had not the backingofthe congressional delega- tion of the city or the central committee of the comity. Of course, as before, this exposed us to wild outcries from the local .political bosses and heelers and much sneering at "civil service reform," but all the outcries and sneers meant was that we were doing our duty as de- cent men and as publio officials, with some slight appreciation of what was implied by the words honor and up- rightness. p rightness. Political organizations are eminently necessary and useful, but when they are seized by professional spoils politicians of low morality, who run the. "machine" in their own inter- ests, who clamor against honesty and defy decency and, rail against that de- vice for obtaining clean government which is known as civil service reform, then it is time for all citizens who believe in good citizenship to rise in re- volt. MARRIAGE • My Ain Loved Country. BY D. BETHUNE, BOSTON. Oh 1 rugged isle, I loved so well ; - Oh ! towering peak and shady dell ; Oh 1 hame, where I and mine did dwell, Fare thee weel, I'm leaving thee 1 The gloamin' fa's, the breakers roar, Sad is the heart that seeks the shore : Oh 1 jet me turn to view once more My ain, my loved country.

In the loftiest tower in the city of Vienna there is a novel instrument, known as the toposcope; constantly at- tended day and night, for the purpose of locating fires. It consists -of a good tele- scope, which is solidly attached to an arrangement of levers, while graduated sections of a circle are arranged horizon- tally and vertically in such a way that the moving of the telescope sideways or up or down results in a change of posi- tion of the hands attached to the levers in reference to the graduated scales. Thus, the stability of the apparatus be - Ing assured by the firmness of the fas- tening, whenever the telescope is focus- ed upon the same object the hands will point to the same figures on the hori- zontal and on the vertical extant, and, since an index of the whole city has been made it is but a matter of a few seconds, when a glare is discovered at night, to direct upon the spot the topo- scope on the side, to read off the num- bers, to look up the object and to tele- graph to the central station the details observed. Local conditions are, of course, necessary for the successful oper- ation of such an apparatus, . but in this case they are said to be almost perfect. The tower is over 500 feet high, and an uninterrupted view of the great area of young people as we with them the well wishesof the neighbor- hood. .LICENSES --The other afternoon, while putting up some eavetroughing on the barn of ISSUED AT Mr. John Phfeifer, out in Logan, Mr. J.

" "Yes," replied the fair widow bright- ly, "but tomorrow I am going to take them out to Crow Hill and put them on poor Tom's grave." A regular "13" shiver went round the, table. SEAFORTH. ONTARIO.

I think I have taken eight or tei1 bottles in all, and I feel as if I have got a new lease of life, I feel so much better. I wade in the habit of keeping a bottle in- the houee, so when costive would take a dose dr two with instant re- lief. Now I am troubled with costive spells very often, and it was the only medicine that gave me inat nt relief. It seems as if I have lost my beak, friend. Now I would like to hear from you by return mail, as I would like to hats a bottle as soon as possible.
