FIRST MORTGAGE ROADS. i

Issue only $18,500 per mile. 1 THE LINE COMPLETED AND L

I SUCCESSFUL OPERATION.

| j The Leading Points in relation to thes

Bonds abk as follows :

21st-. The Stockholders have built a first class roac

and equipped it in a first-class manner, mainly wit their own money.

2d. They have built their road through one of tl

richest portions of the State, where all the old road

i into Chicago are earning over $10,000 per mile pe

annum, and are paying large and regular dividend! 3d. They have built the shortest road to the cele

brated Block Coal Mines, whose products have

large and increasing market in Chicago, in the rnanu

facture of iron, as well as for domestic uses.

4th. The road is done, well equipped, and carain,

money, and no argument is required, as in most ne\

enterprises, to show that the Company is able t

j build it.

5th. The portion of the road opened for busiucs last year, earned more than 50 percent, above its in

tereBt liabilities.

6th. The amount of the mortgage is very moderate

being onlj about $18,500 per mile.

7th. While Railroad Bonds may be plenty, those

I ul,on finished lines, so certain to pay and for so smal

an amount, are seldom in the market.

8th. That as the amount remaining unsold is onl; $1,018,000, parties who want them should make im

mediate nnnlicatiAn

The Bonds are for $1,000 each, have forty years tc

| run, and bear interest at the rate of 7 per cent, pe:

annum, payable on the first of April and October both principal and interest being payable in gold ii

! New York.

We do not hesitate to recommend these Bonds ai

unusually safe. They are attended with none of tin

uncertainties of projected enterprises, and the promp

payment of the interest, and the final payment o

the principal, are as certain as any future financia

event can well be.

The amount above named is all that remains of ai issue of $5,400,000 Bonds; and in view of the smal amount unsold the Company has raised the pric from 90 to 92£ ana interest, henceforth.

The mortgage deed authorizes the issue of $6,600.00 Bonds; a mollification of the plan of constructioi will confine the issue however to $20,000 per mile making the total as above stated.The remainder of tli Bonds will be cancelled by the Trustees.

Construction is now stopped on the road. The en tire equipment will be hereafter devoted to increas ing the earnings.

The receipts for the last five months from lota traffic, over a portion only of the line, and whil much of the equipment was in use for construe tion purposes, were as follows:

August receipts.$67,244 82 September 95,622 53 October 73,602 58 November 69,393 69 December 62,650 97

The net earnings out of this amount were more thai 10 per cent, on the amount of the mortgage indebted ness of the road applying against the portion in op oration. The figures above given represent actua cash receipts, no charges being made for eoustructioi account.

FACES ON THE WALL. BY HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.

[ Author of Uncle Tom's Cabin," “M,j Wife and I,' etc.

I

Once there was a very good little girl, who, by rea son of her goodness, knew where to find strawberrie in the winter. In the same way less perfect people blessed by the generous fairies of memory and imagi nation, may sit, as I do now, in the midst of fallinj

r leaves and whistling winds, and call back the greei grasses and summer sun. I see yonder in the glen

J the darling of our house, the gold gleam in her browi I hair, a chain of dailies in her hand,and in her eyes tin jjToughish meditation of a kitten, weary for an instan

hs play, and thinking slyly of anotner spring <jr Thrown back upon the velvet grass, she is not resting

| only pausing; from her bright glances to the tips o;

j her tiny fingers she is wide awake. But now the merry play is over, and our pet nestles

! yotmder on the sofa-cushion, tired at last in earnest. | Slowly the lids tall, and the lingering smile dies out; 1 but the flush in cheek and lip remains, like the glow j after sunset. The gathered buttercups ami daisies |

are loosely held by the fair little hand; no shadows, j even of dream laud, disturb the sweet brow’s perfect : i»eace. She is fast asleep.

In other words, two chromos hang upon the wall, i bewitching child-heads, in w hich every mother sees

j 8omething of her own dear ones, never grown old, and j never lost to her, however time or death may have

dealt with them.

Nothing pleases more at first sight or gives pleasure longer than poetical pictures of children. “The little child whom Jesus sets in the midst of every family is a joy that grows not old and fades not.

“Age cannot wither, custom cannot stale Its infinite variety.”

For this reason a happy picture of a child brings an enjoyment more lasting than any other, because it is a subject of which no one ever tires.

But these pictures, besides their constant charm for grown folks, are such an children can understand and

I vui mutf -mue AwaKO" aim “rast Asleep” would give many a pleasant hour of companionable amusement and intercourse to the little people akin

j to them in age. The pictures that children’s eyes rest oil as they are dropping off to sleep, or as they awake

I in the morning, seem to them like living friends. All sorts of childish dreams and fancies make of tho pict- ured face a real companion. Not only in the parlor Or the sitting room would they be an attractive and fitting embellishment, but they are a charming pair for the adornment of a nursery.

Undoubtedly these two pictures are portraits There is a realistic faithfulness and truth about them that forbids the idea of their being fancy heads.

; They will remind many parents of little ones either

| here or in heaven. Dickens says somewhere of his

| portraiture of little Nell that lie has had letters from j the farthest regions of the earth speaking of children

who resemble her—so dear, and so early taken! He | who paints one child well, paints thonsamls, and

j speaks to the tenderest feelings of innumerable hearts. Of course there is a pleasure In possessing an origi-

nal paintiug; but when the question lies between an

j original at five hundred dollars and a cliromo which can scarcely bo distinguished from it, at ten dollars— particularly when one has not five hundred to spare— the choice is not very difficult. As to these two ex-

quisite chromes, only a critical examination can dis- tinguish between the copies and the originals, which sold for many hundreds—which is certainly more

j than can be said of the best copies of most pictures painted by hand.

Blessings upon chromo-lithography, by which the succesful painting of a master can be reproduced inde- finitely, and can enter thousands of homes with its ed- ucating, quickening, reforming influences!

It is not alone into the dwellings of tho great and wealthy that we follow this pretty pair with anticipa- tions of delight. We see them in the cottages of the poor, in the log cabin of the back woodsman .brightening the toil of the hard-worked wife and mother, and receiving the almost adoring wonder of children who have never seen pictures before.

God bless the darling*—send the little comforters fast and far!

The charming pair of chroms„“Wide Awake” and •*Fast Asjpcp” of whose real beauty and attractiveness Mrs. Stowe’s graceful sketch can give but an

I imperfect idear-so pleasing are they to all who love art or children—have always sold in the picture stores for §10, and the original publisher has never been able to supply the great demand for them even at that price. And yet, although thousands of them have been sold in America at that high rate, they are now within the reach of all, for they are

GIVEN AWAY

to every subscriber to The Christian Union an un-

sectarian, literary, religious, and domestic weeklv newspaper, edited by Henry Ward Beecher.

The pair by a fortunate arrangement which one of the partners of this house waa able to make in Paris during the last siege, with the proprietors of the pictures, arc furnished to Mr. Beecher’s publishers at a rate entirely exceptional. The subjects are Life-Size.

As to the Christian Union, the great success of that paper has been a marvel in the history of jounal- ism, and the scholarly, and critical New York Nation call it not only the ablest ajid best, but also the most popular of American religious periodicals.”

This pai>er, hereafter will l>e printed on a still larger sheet, folded in twenty-four pages, pasted at the back and trimmed at the egdes, a decided advantage possessed by no other religious weekly published. It contains contributions from eminent writers of all denominations, and has matter of interest for every member of the household, young and old. For the year 1872, Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe will write exclsively for the Christian Union.

It has something for every member of the household —father,mother, hoys, and girls, young men and young women, all find something of interest. Ad- mirable contributed and editorial articles discussing all the great topics of the day; fresh information on

unhackneyed subjects; much matter of a high and pure religious tone; a Domestic Department, choice Poems, Household Stories, and Chat for the little ones, one of the chief attractions being Mrs. H. B. Stowe’s fascinating Tales.

The terms of subscription to this paper are: For one year, only $3,00. This will entitle the subscriber to the paper and to the above pair of beautiful Oil ChromoB. The Christian Union, Illustrated Holi-

day Number, (28 pp.), will be be sent free to all who now subscribe for the year 1872.

WHY P What is the reason that the Literary, Ee

| that makes all newspaper men wonder ?

REASONS WHY!

i su ssu.1, “Probably no man on this continent sways so many minds, or is doing so much, to shape religious thought for the next half century.” His vigorous pen in Editorials and Star Papers, and Mr. Ellinwood’a famed verbatim rei«rts of bis helpful Lecture-ltomn 1 alts in Plymouth Church, are an attraction to thousands of readers, who always want to know what he thinks on religious themes and the topics of the times. He is also assisted by an able editorial staff.

A MOSAIC. WHAT THE PKE&M SAYS:

Two very good chromos are “Wide Awake” and “Fast Asleep,” [1] w'liich have few rivals in the market for attractiveness [2]—fresh, sweet and blooming child faces, [3] executed with true French skill [4] We have rarely seen anything prettier than the two pictures, which, [5] both in color aud sentiment are

really beautiful [G]—worthy of a place in costly homes [7] Unlike nine pictures out of ten that cost a good deal more, one Can look at them day after day and not tire of them [5]. We have often stopped amid the bustle of Broadway to look at them, and never without feeling happier and better [7]. They cannot fail to please all who love art or children [8]. [11 Independent, N.

From l’aleuque to I’eten. Some" years ago, M. Arthur Morelet, a

French gentleman of extensive scientific ac-

quirements, made up his mind to explore one of the most secluded and unknown portions of the earth; that vast region which lies between Chiapas, Tabasco, Yucatan, and the republic Guatemala, comprises a considerable portion of each of those States, and marked on the map of Central America either by a

blank, or by conjectural mountains, lakes, and rivers.

A week’s journey through the lagoons of Campeacliy, with their strange reptile population and pest of insects, a slowp-oling canoe

voyage, in which the wonderful forests pass dreamily by the traveler, brought M. Morelet to Palcnque. Such wonders of vegetation had already been disclosed, that he prepared for his tramp through the forest to the ruins with composure, which, however, was occa-

sionally disturbed by what he saw, for instance, an arum, whose leaves he measured. Each was two yards in length by one anti a half in breadth, and capable of affording shade to three persons. '1 he density of the forest concealed the ruins until M. Morelet and his companion were close upon them; and on ascending, a steep elevation, they found themselves at the portal of a vast edi* fice, until that instant hidden. There is more mystic solemnity attached to the’abso- lutely obscure antiquity of these records of the past, in the New World, than to even the most venerable records of the Old. The latter have an unbroken sequence of tradition and hiitory; they are links ill the great progress of the evolution of time and events; we

understand, or think we understand them. But these New World mysteries baffle us, ex-

rating in au tne unfathomable antiquity side by side with ait that is most modern, and most full of change, evidences of extinct races which existed, unconscious of one half the planet, as one half the planet was of them. The travelers found themselves in front of the building called the Palace, of which they took possession, and where they made their abode for a fortnight. From the platform crowned by the vast, silent ruins, a great ocean of tropical forest, the study of only a

few of whose fqrms would absorb a lifetime, stretches out illimitably, and the awful soli- tudes are peopled with the rarest and most beautiful of creature.

They resumed their river-journey after a detour to San Geronimo and its neighbor- hood, where the population seems to he letting itself sink out of existence through sheer laziness. The hacienda life of the region closely approaches absolute stagnation; the stillness of the logwood forests of Carapeachy broods over the scene. Men content themselves with the barest necessities of life, and the one recreation of the women is thus described : “At sunset, groups of women with

j bronzed complextions and floating hair, half-

| ncked, but glittering with tinsel, throng the

j paths leading from hacienda, to bathe in the [ stiil waters of the lagoons. They chant mel-

ancholy and drowsy songs, the melody of which is doubtless inspired by the gloom of everything around though the words seem to

'■ belong to some more fortunate clime. San Geronimo is exceedingly fertile, yet

there is not a fruit tree or a useful vegetable in the whole district. The lagoons swarm with fish, but all that are eaten are imported. In the midst of herds of cattle, the inhabitants dine on beef salted in.tlie United States, and drink the nauseous water of the swamps,

j And yet, these Creole Spaniards are the de- i scendants of the Conquistadores, and a Bal-

| boa, who knows his origin too, is a simple herdsman.

Wonderful natural beauty, extraordinary profusion of animal and vegetable life, ex-

treme simplicity of manners, and entire iso- lation, physical and mental, from all the rest of the world, on the part of the inhabitants— these are the chief characters of the romantic

j place which the traveler had reached with

| such difficulty, and where he had a long and dangerons illness. Here he made valuable additions to his collection, for all the children in the place were employed in finding “speci-

j mens” for him. Lizzards, birds, serpents, insects, they brought them in large numbers; their parents dispensed them from going to school, that they might devote themselves to the remunerative task. The schoolmaster vainly remonstrated; the men actually took to the pursuit of specimens; the women

brought the produce of their poultry-yards, and encumbered M. Morelet’s dwelling with their indiscriminate contributions. During the whole ot his sojourn the only branch of’ industry ever successfully introduced into Florer flourished. The town is irregularly built; the dwellings, for the most part, are

simple huts thatched with palm leaves. The j use of chimneys and windows is unknown.

xu me Diicna, mcie iuc linuifi suups nur

workmen, nor is there a public market. Ev- ery one depends on his own production, or on

exchanges with his neighbors, for food. If any one has need of money, he prepares

some article of domestic consumption—such as bread, chocolate, or candles and sends his children about with them from hut to hut in search of a purchaser. Very little suffices for a population whose only ambition is to

j live without labor. No one ever thinks of

The Dakk Spirit of Sectakinaism.—It I was before the war. Dinah was “a free nig- j ger.” She had bought and paid for herself,

and having come North, and being [employed as cook in a family living not a thousand

I miles from Broadway, and making money, j concluded she would buy Sambo, her hus- I band, whom she had left at “Ole Massa’s in

j Virginny.” With the help of her generous employer

| Dinah succeeded, and Sambo came on and set

| up business. For a time Dinah was happy; but, as in

j other cases, clouds came after a while over | her matrimonial sky. Sambo was going his

own road. Dinah went to the “Abyssinian I Baptist’( meeting, and Sambo attended the ! “Ethiopian Baptist”—two rival churches of | the colored folk. | “Massa Charly,” said Dinah, one day, “I | ain’t goin’ to invest in no more niggers. I j bought that Sambo feller, and he’s got too j stuck up to live. He’s too big feelin’ to go to j my meetin’ wid me. He says it’s not ’risto- ! cratic etiuff.

The astonished prosecutor looked at the jury, and exclaimed:

THE PBE8S. MONDAY MORNING. JAN. 29, 1872.

Is It a Movement Against Portland I

It will not be surprising if there is developed a strong spirit of opposition to the Lewis- ton anil Auburn charter when it comes up

again, Wednesday, for consideration in the Senate. When it was first introduced in that

body there seemed no reasonable ground for

opposing it. The desire of the people of Lew- iston and the adjoining towns for a second line to this city, which would enable them in

some measure to escape the extortions of the

Maine Central monopoly, was natural and

proper. Their wish to obtain a better West-

em connection by a union with the Grand

Trunk, no disinterested person could con-

scientiously oppose. While these just purposes alone were disclosed, the sole opposition to the scheme arose from the disinclination of the Maine Central partizans to see that road forced to endure the presence of a competitor. For our part we promptly gave the scheme

such support as its merits seemed to deserve.

Subsequently, however, a suspicion has arisen

that the petititioners for the charter have cer-

tain ulterior purposes that are in deadly hos- tility to the interests of this city. These sus-

picions did not receive such confirmation as

to demand serious attention till Thursday, when Senator Morris offered certain amendments calculated to make the bill conform ex-

actly to the ostensible purposes of its friends.

By providing that the road should be built on

the broad gauge, and by striking out the sec-

tion that permits the new corporation to con-

nect with any other road and to lease its line,at the same time offering to agree to permit it to be leased to the Grand Trunk, Mr. Morris applied what seems to us to be a genuine touch- stone to the measure. The friends of the bill opposed these amendments and they were

both finally rejected. The inference then be- came unavoidable that the Lewiston and Auburn bill is a part of the plan for building a road from Danville to Gorham which ohafl turn away from this city the business that would naturally and legitimately come to it. The Lewiston Journal says that the report connecting the Lewiston and Auburn bil] with the obnoxious Danville and Gorham scheme has been started by the Maine Cen- tral for the purpose of defeating the former measure. It declares that the story is “made out of whole cloth.” The friends of the Lewiston and Auburn road could easily have proved that the Journal is right, and that the Grand Trunk connexion is all that they want, by accepting the amendments of Mr. Morris.

They may prove it in some way even now.—

But if it prove otherwise Portland and Port- land’s representatives can never give their as-

sent to a scheme which is calculated to ren-

der the city’s generous pecuniary assistance to the Portland and Rochester road worse than a loss. The managers of the latter road have

promptly disclaimed through the columns of the Advertiser all complicity with the Danville and Gorham project, and if their sense of honor and their gratitude to the city forbid them to engage in it, outside parties ought not to be allowed to strike so undeserved a blow at the metropolis of Araine. Let the projectors of the Lewis- ton and Auburn road show by their action that they want a connection with the Grand Trunk only, as they at first professed, and it will be extremely difficult to defeat them unless the Mains Central has already become supreme.

The Last Degree of Presumption. Nothing that we have ever written touch-

ing the usurpations of the Maine Central railroad is calculated to give so vivid an impression of them as the confessions of Judge Rice in his argument before the railroad committee. These confessions have been laid before our readers. Nothing that we have ever

predicted as to the extent of the arrogance and disregard of law that would mark the conduct of the corporation after it has been permitted to carry its present purposes into effect, is calculated to create so much alarm as the foilowine extract from a defense made

by the Maine Central in its Portland organ: Certain railway corporations in this State,

desiring to issue bonds secured by a mortgage on their property for the purpose of raising funds to pay their outstanding liabilities, and to more thoroughly finish and equip their roads, and thus contribute to the safety of the travelliug public and afford additional facilities for the transportation of freight and passengers, have applied to the legislature for an act giving them authority to make the requisite mortgages. They can do this without any special legislation. It does not require an act of the legislature to authorize an individual or a corporation to borrow money and mortgage individual or corporate property for the security of the loan. Hut as capitalists are timid and cautious and require to be convinced of the legal validity of bonds and mortgages issued by corporations, it is usual to apply, as in this case, for a special act, applicable to the particular loan, to save the necessity of satisfying investors, by the opinions of persons learned in the law, as to the authority under the general legislation of the State. The person who drafted this act for the Maine Central directors assitred them that it confer- red upon them no powers or rights additional to those they now possess, but only saved to a

person desirous of investing in the bonds the necessity of consulting counsel to ascertain if there was anything in the general legislation of the State which would impair the validity of the mortgage.

It is extremely difficult for any unprejudic- ed or unbiased mind to perceive airy reasonable objection to granting the request.

To say that the above is loose reasoning is to state the case most inadequately. It is de- liberately false reasoning. There can be no

objection to giving authority to the owners of property to execute a mortgage thereof. But there are very serious objections to giving a

thief the power to raise money on the goods he has stolen, or a railroad corporation power to pledge property that it is forbidden by the laws of the State and by the express denial of the Legislature to possess. The coolness with which the writer we have quoted ignores the fact that the Maine Central is illegally in possession of a large part of its route, and that it seeks a ratification of its law-defying acts in the bill now before the Legislature, is in harmony with the astonishing impudence displayed by the monopolists from the begin- ning.

But the point to which we wish more particularly to call attention, is the persistence with which the Maine Central plutocracy ad- heres to its traditional policy of treating the decisions of the Legislature with contempt. The Legislature of 1870 said, “You shall not consolidate.” Said Judge Rice in his ingen- uous remarks at Augusta, “We practically consolidated.” Now the company declares through its Portland organ that even if the -o—ouvuiu iuaumu tuc UCUO"

ion of that of 1870, by refusing to permit the monopoly to do acts founded on the illegal transaction of May 12th, the company will go defiantly on its way as before, ignoring a second time the will of the people. It says in un- mistakable language: “Deny the legality of consolidation, like your predecessors, if you will; we shall then act on our own higher law scorning to observe your futile protests.

Our New Law-Makers.—The following extract from the Sunday Star’s Augusta letter may throw some light on the conversion of so many staunch anti-consolidation members of the Legislature to the amalgamation side. It will account for the statesmanlike reveries of these gentlemen, in the privacy of their own rooms, "‘Without anybody saying anything to them:”

Such a lobby was never seen here before. It throws itseli from one point to another,as a reserved force operates around the main army It sticks at nothing, it uses everything in ali the wide scope of temporizing, it listens, it al- lures, it betrays. Hotel corridors are throng- ed with it, the order and business of the Leg- islative Halls are interrupted by it, and at night the long rows of parlor cots make pleasant places into hospitals that exhale a poison- ed breath.

What is it that causes the mind of the monopolist organ to dwell on “speculators” and speculation just now ? There are many people whom we have heard give a prompt and emphatic answer to the question. It is obvious that such warmth in the cause of a

thirteen million dollar corporation is calculated to cast suspicion on the good faith of the organ’s conduct.

It is lucky for “Nox” that he is already knighted. It is plain that he can hope for no new honors under the Empire. Indeed he may thank his stars if he is merely condemn- ed to penai servitude, like Rochefort instead of being shot like Rossel.

Savings Banks. I have been a careful reader of everything

that hag appeared in our Portland papers about

savings banks, having had a general interest in

them for many years, and for a few years hat e

been a manager of one. They are, in my opinion, very important to the public interest in

many ways, Everybody knows as much as

this of them—that their effect is to induce

habits of saving in a very numerous class of

people, who, without them, would spend as

they go. I know that persons who have invested a

few dollars in a savings bank, are induced

thereby to be more industrious and more sav-

ing, so as to increase their little store laid by against a rainy day. I have many men in my

employment, working regularly at good wages, who have been doing so for years, some of them

for as much as twenty years, without losing a

day, except by sickness. I always use my influence with all these, to induce them to lay by in the savings bank, every dollar they can

spare in their years of health and strength; and I have reason to know that the accumu- lated savings of these men amount to a large sum.

Sometimes, when sickness has visited their families, so that their weekly pay was insuffi- cient I have heard them express grateful thanks that they had been persuaded to change their old habit of spending everything as they went, for the better one of saving against a

day of need. These men know little or nothing of modes

of safely and profitably investing money; they could not do this, week by week or month by month, with their weekly or monthly savings. Without these banks, .they would have no re-

source but to put away their little hoards, in some trunk or drawer, or closet, exposed to risk from thieves, or fire, or the greater one

perhaps, of the temptation to spend what would be so near at hand. Even if safely kept in that way, they would be'earning nothing for them, nor doing any any useful work in society; but in the savings bank they are doing both.

The managers of these banks have no pecuniary interest in them whatever; they spend their time and assume the great responsibility in- volved in this work, only as a matter of public duty, in helping on a great public good. They ought to huuw something about the place these institutions occupy in our monetary and fiscal SVfitPTYl. and about t.hwr inflnpnpp linnn t.bo crrxn-

eral business prosperity of the community, in which all the managers of the savings banks among us are personally and deeply interested.

Their first duty is to their depositors; to see that whatever is confided to them, shall be safely kept and profitably employed. Beyond that, their duty as well as their personal interests are bound up in the general welfare of the community, and they may be relied upon, I think, to do nothing and to consent to nothing inconsistent with this. I am not aware that any of the writers in the papers, who have been proposing many and various restrictions upon these banks, have had any conference with their managers, or have made any inquir- ies of them, as to the actual effect upon the use- fulness of these institutions, of these proposed measuresi

One man proposes to tax them; another to compel the managers to make returns to some official body, either State or municipal, of the names of all depositors and of the sums held by them. Others propose that the amount of each deposit shall be limited by law; and others that savings banks shall be stock banks, and the managers held personally liable for all losses that shall occur in the course of business. Oth- ers propose that no savings bank funds shall he loaned on any securities but those originating in the State; others that loans may be made on

names without collateral; others that no dividend shall be paid of more than six per cent, a

year—but that all accrued surplus shall be divided among the depositors at long intervals— say every three, four or five years.

To all these propositions and many others, made by honest men no doubt, with honest in- tentions, and desiring only the best thing—and very intelligent men, no doubt, in all matters that they understand—to all of them I have only one remark to make, and it is this, that before meddling with a matter so delicate as these great fiscal operations have now become, and so intimately interwoven as they now are with the interests of a very large number of people, and with those of the business community, the experimenters would do well to inquire of some

of the managers, who have made the study of their affairs a speciality—what would be-the possible, probable or certain effect, if these

Farmington, Jau. 27, 1872. Mr. Thomas H. Adams, of this village, con-

templates putting in a steam engine and will enter largely into the manufacture of furniture. Mr. Adams’ business for the past year has been constantly increasing, and he says he is obliged to greatly enlarge in order to meet the demand.

A. H. Fletcher commenced operations in his factory Tuesday. He Is running a grist mill now—his plaster mill not being in readiness. He has two run of stones, one capable of grind- ing fifty bushels of com per hour, and the other sixty-five. His mill is provided with an

elevator, so that he can unload a car of com, take it to any part of the building in a very few moments.

The Spring term of the Normal School, which opens Feb. 13th, according to present indica- tions, will be largely attended. A new department—Music—has been added, and Miss Curtis, formerly teacher of the Model School, appointed teacher.

Our worthy Representative, F. C. Perkins, is pushing forward the work of incorporation of the Wendell Institute and May School—known as the Farmington Girl’s School. It is expected that Mr. Wendell, formerly a resident of Farmington, now living in South America, will endow it handsomely. The school now num-

bers thirty-seven, and applications for admission are being received both from different parts of this State and other States. At the earnest solicitation of friends, a separate department for boys will be added, requiring an

additional building, which will be at once put up.

Miss Rose A. Young, of Stark, met with a

serious accident one day last week. She was to have a spelling school, where she was teaching, one evening, and in order, perhaps, to “make an impression,” she crimped a jute switch which she wore, making a wavy mass about her shoulders. During the evening she happened to [swing her “hair” over a light, when the mass caught like tinder. Several rushed to her assistance, but not until she had been badly burned about the neck and shoulders was the fire subdued. She is now doing well.

Mr. J. D. B. Young, of Starks, informs us

that he has five aunts now living in this State aged respectively 86, 84, 79, 72 and 69 years. Who can do better? Also, that Henry Leeman, of Starks, has now living two grandfathers, one

grandmother, three great grandmothers. There is a family of six persons living in

Strong whose total height is 36 feet 8 inches and total weight 1129 pounds; average height, 0 ieet l l-j inches; average weight, 188 1-6 pounds.

Apples, per barrel, $3 to 84; apples, dried, 9 to 12c; beaus, pea, 83 to 83.50; yellow eyes, 83.73 to 83.50; butter, 25 to 28c; eggs, 36c; oats, 65c; bay, 838; beef steak, 15c; round hog, 8c; chickens, 15c; turkeys, 18c; potatoes, 38c per bush; wool, 67c; wood, 84.25 to 85; drv, 85 a

85.50. Mr. George H. Morrill, formerly 0. S. Con-

sular Agent at London, Canada West, arrived in town Wednesday. He has been in a very critical condition from lung trouble, being obliged to resign his position. It is hoped that by good nursing he may once more regain his

health-__ Jack. Kent’s Bill Correspondence.

The first of a series of lectures under the management of the Calliopean Society of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary and Female Col- lege, was given last Friday night by Rev. Mr. Collins of Gorham. He delivered his popular lecture on Romanism and its relations to the institutions of our country, the same that has heretofore been mentioned in your columns.

The school is unusually large for a winter term, there being upwards of one hundred and forty students. The spring term will commence March 11, and the early applications for rooms

indicate a very large term.

During the present term, as well as the last, there has been an earnest though quiet revival of religion in the school, and to the improvement of the mind not a few have added the blessings of a Christian life. W-

The “Manly Part.”—There is something so

tocliing in the following personal explanation made by Mr. Burleigh of York county, Friday, that the heart must be adamant that is not moved by it:

MrSpeaker: In the report of the debate in this House yesterday, I was made to say that I came here an anti-consolidationist, and from the remarks that I had heard here and outside 1 was induced to change my mind. That is different from what I said. What I did say was that I came here an anti-consolidationist—that in my own room I thought over the arguments in favor of anti-consolidation, and also the arguments in fovor of letting them have this loan, and 1 came to the conclusion in my own room, without anyliody saying anything to me, that

manly part for me to act was to favor the ting of this bill, and allow this road to e a loan.

[Reported for the PirlaSi:] The Annual Session of the ftoard of Agri*

culture and Farmers Convention at Paris.

FRIDAY—FOURTH DAY. The fourth day of the session was well at-

tended. The leading business in the morning was the report of Farmers’ Clubs and their workings. From the various reports it is in- ferred that there are several of these in each county that are doing a great deal of good by stimulating farmers and by the introduction of new ideas and the exchange of opinions. Sev- eral sustain a regular course of lectures and have very respectable libraries. The member-

ship of some reaches 200. Iu connection with these reports it was ascertained that the cheese

factory at Strong used the milk of 200 cows

and make excellent cheese, and its results were

most favorable. The stock paid eight per cent. The afternoon session was devoted to the sub-

joct of orcharding. Major Adams, of Frank- lin county, first spoke. He prefers home grown to other trees; believes that every farmer should learn to do his own grafting, which should be done in April or the first of May; he practices cleft grafting, and says if the soions are healthy, stock sound and the operation well per.armed they will be pretty sure to grow; would be two

or three years in grafting the top. Various gentlemen recommended as amoug

the best varieties the Northern Spy, Nodliead, Rhode Island Greening, Nine Ounce or Dean Apple.

A long debate followed, after which a vote of thanks to the people of Paris for their generous entertainment was passed and the meeting adjourned.

The Rebel General Ewell.—Gen. Ewell whose death was announced in Friday’s issue, was born in the District of Columbia, about the

year 1820. He entered West Point as a cadet in 1830, and graduated in 1840, thirteenth in his class. He was assigned to the Dragoons as

Brevet Second Lieutenant, the full rank of which grade he attained the 1st of November, in the same year. In September, 1845, he was

promoted First Lieutenant, and served in Mex- ico as Senior Lieutenant of Colonel Mason’s

Dragoons. During the contest at Churubusco he commanded a squadron of cavalry, and obtained a Captain’s brevet for braveryjto the full rank of which grade he succeeded two years later, when he commanded Company G, First United States Dragoons, In 1847he great- lv flistillf^nittTiPfl liimsulf in a nnnflint. with tliA

Indians of New Mexico. In 1858, he took com-

mand of the troops garrisoning Fort Buchanan, in New Mexico, where he remained about a

year. At the commencement of the war, in May, 1861, he resigned liis connection with the United States army, and immediately joined the rebel armies in Virginia, where he was appointed Brigadier General of the provisional forces. He commanded the Second Brigade of Beauregard's army corps at Bull Bun, on the 21st of July, 1861. He was afterward detailed for operations in the Shenandoah Valley, and occupied Front EoyaL He participated in the battle of Cedar Mountain, in August of that year; in the subsequent operations against Gen. Pope, and in the Maryland campaign. At the battle of Chancellorsville, then (May, 1863) a

Major General, he commanded a division of Stonewall Jackson's corps, and on the death of Jackson was promoted to the command of the corps, with the rank of Lieutenant General.— He led this corps in Pennsylvania during June, 1863, and fought it at Gettysburg in July of that year. General Ewell, during one of the battles in which he was engaged, lost one of his legs above the knee, and afterward had to be strapped on the horse when in the field. On one occasion his horse was killed under him, and the iajuries he received caused him to be relieved from active service during the latter part of 1863.

In presenting an appropriation bill in the House the other day, Mr. Garfield analyzed the statement of the Secretary of the Treasury with respect to the nature and origin of the expenses for the purpose of showing to what extent we feel the burden of the civil war yet and the prospect of getting back to what may be called the normal rate of expenditures. Setting in one group all the amounts paid during the year on account of the late war, he found them to amount to $175,543,140 27. Making a second group of the expenditures for the military and naval establishments, he found these amounted to$45,114,551 46. A third group includes all the items of the civil service, and all the remaining items of expenditure for the year, except payment of the public debt. These amount to

$70,906,749 70, the total being $291,564,441 43. It will thus be sf.en that last year over sixty per cent, of the amount expended by the country was directly for the late war. fourteen

per cent, was for the support of the fcrmy and navy, and twenty-five per cent for the other departments- of the government.

Judging from the effect of wars upon the ex-

penditures of our own and other countries in the past, Mr. Garfield thinks the American can look for a steady reduction of the government expenses until 1876, when he thinks we

shall reach $125,000,000 for ordinary purposes and $95,000,000 for interest on the public debt

It is now stated that evidence has been found showing that Jeff, Davis, instead of being born in Christian county, Kentucky, in 1808, was

bom in Stockbridge, Mass. Persons who claim to be well informed say that “Jeff” was bom in old Stockbridge, Mass., in 1808, and removed to Kentucky with his father, when a small child. His father is said to have been a wheel- wright by trade, and the house where he lived on one side of the road, and the shop where he worked on the other side, are well remember- ed by living witnesses. After all, the illustri- ous rebel comes from plebeian stock.

Compulsory Attendance.—The following is the full text of the bill providing for com-

pulsory attendance on the public schools reported from the committee on education:

Sec. 1. Every parent, guardian, or other personin the State of Maine having control of any child or children between the ages of eight and fourteen years inclusive, shall be required to send any such child or children to a public school for a period of at least twelve weeks in a year, at least six weeks of which shall be con- secutive, unless such child or children are excused from such attendance by the school officers of the town in which such parent or guardian resides, upon its being shown to their satisfaction that the bodily or mental condition has been such as to prevent the attendance at school or application to studv for the period required, or that such child or children are taught at a private school or at home in such branches as are usually taught in primary schools, or to have accquired the ordinary branches of learning taught in the public schools ■,provided in case a public school shall not be taught for three months in the year within one ana one half miles by the nearest trav- elled road of the residence of any person within this state, he shall not be liable to the provisions of this act.

Sect. 2. In any case, any parent, guardian, or other person shall fail to comply with the provisions of this act, said parent, guardian, or other person, shall be liable to a tine not exceeding five dollars, for the first and each offence, to be prosecuted in any court competent to try the same. Said fine shall be collected by the school officers of said city, town or plantation, in the name of the same, in an action of debt or on the case, and when collected, shall be paid to the treasurer of the town in which the defendant resided when the offence was committed, and by him accounted for the same as money raised for school purposes.

Sect. 3. It shall be the duty of the school nf nvorv oi'Hr fnu>n .... a;_•

State, to cause to be posted three notices of this law, in public and conspicuous places in said city, town or plantation, or published in one newspaper in the town for three weeks during the month of March in each year, the cost of each publication to be provided for as a current expense of said municipality.

Sec. 4 It shall be the duty of the superin- tending school committee or town supervisor to enforce the several provisions of this act’ and such school officer or officers neglecting to prosecute the fine within ten days after a written notice has been served on him by any tax- payer in said town, unless the person so com- plained of shall be excused by the selectmen of towns or the mayor and aldermen of cities, shall be liable to a fine of not less than five nor more than twenty dollars, which fine shall be prosecuted for in the name of the treasurer of said city or town, and the fine when collected shall be paid to the treasurer, to be accounted for as in section two of this act.

Lucky Fellows.—This is from the Maine Standard:

As many of our readers are aware, some twenty suits brought in the name of Hon. Lot M. Morrill of this city, as trustee of the Gala- tin Land, Coal and Oil Company of West Vir-

ginia, have been pending in the United States ourts of West Virginia for many years, in-

volving the title to about one hundred thousand acres of laud in that State. A test case was tried at Charleston, in the Circuit Court in April, 186!), and a verdict rendered in favor of the plaintiff. Exceptions were filed and the case carried to the Supreme Court of the United States, where a decision has just been rendered overruling the exceptions and affirming the company's title. It is an important decision, as it settles points of law long in controversy and affecting the title to a great deal of laud aside from that owned by the Galatin Company. Hon. L. M. Morrill, Hon. R. If. Rice, Hon. F. A. Pike, Col. Darius Alden, Col. A. B. Farwell, Gen. Geo. F. Shepley, andErastus Bartlett Esq. are some of the largest owners in the Galatin Com- pany. E. F. Pillsbury Esq. has acted as attorney for the company for several years. The property is considered valuable.

Hekald Gossip.—The Herald’s Washington despatch says that a convention of discontented Republicans will be held at Cincinnati immediately after the Philadelphia convention, and it will prepare both ticket and platform for the Democratic party. The Democratic Conven- tion will not lie held until late in the summer, then only to ratify the work of the discontented Republicans. An effort will l>e made to nomi- nate Trumbull by the recalcitrants. The faction-fights of the Republicans are expected to lie a strong element in earning the doubtful States. J

So long as the House of Representatives follows the lead of the member front Whitefield, we do not see how they can complain of his being called a '‘leader” among them. Let him have the name so long as he has the game. We wonder if some of his followers will not fall out of line whenhe hangs in his bill against the use of “white handkerchiefs!” These harmless bits of linen seem to affect Mr. Carleton very much as a red rag affects a wild bull. He goes for them with amusing vehemence, evidently considering every one who carries them to be a friend of educatton, and therefore his natural enemy. By his persistence he has forced the Senate as well as the House to follow his lead in the matter of petitions for the repeal of the county supervisorship.—Transcript.

Collector Arthur of New York, has been informed by the Secretary of the Treasury that the time when the use of the D locks of the American Seal Lock Company will be required, has been extended from February 1st to April 1st, 1872.

STATE NEWS. AROOSTOOK COUNTY.

The Sunrise say the horses, sleds and apparatus which were seized by Sheriff Johnson under the order of the Governor and Council for cuttinglumber on No. 11, 3d range, and brought out to Presque Isle, have been receipted for by Mr. C. F. A. Johnson. Several of the teams have gone home into the Provinces. Others are owned in tliis vicinity and have been taken to their owners, and others have gone into the woods on other townships drawing in lumber.

ANDROSCOGGIN COUNTY. The Journal says the Auburn shoe factories

ate very busy, making oyer 1000 pairs of shoes per hour. It takes about 500 barrels of flour to make the paste used by these shoe factories annually.

The Journal says the shop occupied at Liver- more Falls by Larkin & Bumpus, for manufac- ing clothing, caught fire last Friday morning. It got well under way before it was discovered, but by free use of snow and water it was arrested. In ten minutes more it would have been beyond control, and it must have destroyed the circular saw mill of D. B. Doyen and Record’s leather board factory, as the wind was blowing hard from the northwest and would have driven the fire directly on to the above mills.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY. The Bath Times says a company for the man-

ufacture of paper fibre was organized in Bruns-

000, to be called the “Gilmore Paper Fibre Com- pany.” Their mills are to be at East Turner, on the Twenty Kile river. The officers of the new company are Sanford A. Perkins, Presi- dent; J. W. Crawford, Secretary and Treasur- er; A. K. Gilmore, Samuel Jackson and Frank- lin Huzzy, Directors.

KENNEBEC COUNTY. The Journal says the house of a Mr. Rankin,

of Monmouth, was burned Friday. The fire originated from a defect in the stove pipe.

The Journal\s unable to report any change for the better in the condition of Mr. Burton, the Register of Deeds, who was run down by a lad coasting. He appears to be gradually sinking.

The “Reform Club,” a new temperance organization in Gardiner, appears to be doing a good work. At the meeting last Friday evening a bottle of liquor, said to have been obtained at the State Agency in this city, which had been analyzed by Dr. M. F. Marble, was exhib- ited and comments were made upon the impurities of the liquor.

The town of Waterville has voted to autho- lze and instruct the Selectmen to raise a sum of money sufficient to pay the liabilities of the town for building bridge over the Kennebec river near Ticonic Falls, not exceeding $26,000, by a temporary loan at the earliest practicable day. It also voted, with great unanimity, “that any property invested in the town of Water- ville, in the manufacture of wool or cotton, be exempt from taxation for the term of ten years,” as we learn from the Mail.

WALDO COUNTY. Friday forenoon a man named Daniel Mc-

Cormick, in the employ of L & C. H. Treat, at Winterport, fell from a pile of boards to the ground, breaking his thighbone and three of his fingers.

An elderly man named Thomas Morrison, re- siding in Winterport, was chopping wood in his yard riday, when his axe caught on a clothes line and came down on his forehead with great force, felling him to the ground and rendering him insensible for some time. He was resusci- tated with great difficulty, but is now doing well. 6

WASHINGTON COUNTY. The Sentinel says that Mr. James Murray of

Trescot, is confined to his house by a neglected wound of the foot. He cut his foot badly some four weeks since; the wound was not properly dressed at first, and it was thought he would lose his foot, but he seems to be gaining.

The Sentinel savs a shark was driven ashore at Lubec last week, which will make, probably, forty gallons of oil.

The store of Hiram Huckins, in North Lu- bec, was broken into a short time since bv a burglar aud a small amount of monev and some goods stolen.

Miss Nancv Black of West T.nW fail two pails in her hands one day last week, frac- turing her left arm at the shoulder, and otherwise injuring herself. Her injuries are severe.

The Sentinel says the schooner E. H. Pray Wl‘s kadly damaged by fire while lying at a wharf in Pembroke, on Saturday, 20th inst. The damage is estimated at $1000.

The Calais Advertiser savs on Sunday, 21st inst., a fire at Moore’s Mills destroyed*a carriage shop and contents, owned by a Mr. Fisk. The fire was caused in some way by the machinery. In his efforts to save his gristmill and blacksmith shop, Mr. Fisk was severely burned in the face and head. His loss is about $1500; no insurance.

SPECIAL NOTICES. An Appeal to Reason.

Health would be much more carefully guarded than it is at present, and the average of human life length- ened by many years, if common sense and the light of experience were accepted by the universal public as their medical monitor and guide. The true philos- ophy of health is simple. It consists in refraining from indulgences and impru<jgnces which impair the vital forces, and in supplying any dellciency of vital power and constitutional vigor that may exist, by in. vigorating and alterative treatment. To reinforce and regulate a feeble system, and to prevent a more vigorous physique from yielding to unhealthy and de- bilitating Influences,-Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is unquestionably the most potent of all vegetable puri- fiers. As a stimulant, it is the purest ever administer- ed in medical practice; as a tonic and stomachic, the most infallible; as an anti-billions agent, the safest and surest, and as an aperient and regulating medicine, mild and painless, yet irresistible. It is a protection against disease of every kind, and all seasons, and is particularly efficacious as ameanBofforearming the system against the ailments generated by a raw, damp, ungenial atmosphere. Hence its great value as a winter tonic and lnvigorant. No one predispos- ed to indigestion, biliousness, constipation, rheumatism or nervous headache, should ever be without this Vital Elixir. Ab a certain class of country dealers are very anxious to dose their customers with “local bitters,” of a worthless or pernicious character, which they represent to be equal or superior to the great national tonic, the public is hereby fortwarntd against their “tricks of trade.”

Brief Jottings. The merchants of this city occupy two col-

umns Of the Rochester (N. H.) Courier this week with their business announcements. The trade between the two places is increasing quite rapidly.

An adjourned meeting of the Portland and

Ogdensburg railroad company will be held to-

day. The subject of Mrs. Woodhull’s lecture at

City Hall next Wednesday evening, is “The

Impeding Revolution,” and it Is said to be of the boldest revolutionary character.

In mentioning the great difference between the passages of the Cunard steamer Siberia and the Allan steamer Sarmatian in Saturday’s is-

sue, our compositor stated the arrival of the former at Boston on the 20th. We wrote it

26th, which was the day of her arrival. It may further be mentioned that all the passages of the Allan steamers at this port this season have been shorter than those of the Cunarders to

Boston. Rev. E. P. Thwing of this city delivered his

lecture, the Circean Cup at the Newbury street church last evening, for the benefit of that so-

ciety. This is strong and effective argument for total abstinence as the only means of safety from the evils of intemperance. It is inter- vovan with thrilling facts from real life, gathered from the speaker’s own observation.

Rev. Mr. Byington of Brunswick, preached yesterday at the State street church.

There will be a full dress rehearsal of the Landing of the Pilgrims at City Hall this even-

ing. The piano to be used at the public repre- sentation has been kindly furnished by Mr. E. B. Robinson, dealer in pianos, on Myrtle street.

Temperance.—Mr. Francis Murphy delivered one of his powerful and effective lectures on

temperance to a large audience at City Hall

last evening. There is no argument upon the affirmative of this question so irresistible as

the plain simple narrative of the personal ex-

perience of a man who, through the sale and use of rum, has been led through poverty, mise-

ry and crime. Mr. Murphy told the story of his own life to his hearers—and its main incidents are fresh in all our memories. It was

not embellished by rhetoric or fine phrasing; it could not be; but from the fullness of his heart, with voice broken by emotion, he spread out the sad story, and it went home to the conscien- ces and sympathy of his hearers, and there WCIC rett cjCO m taai nuuicuvc vuau »-»v »»v»

moistened at the recital. At the conclusion of the address Mayor Kingsbury spoke of his personal acquaintance with Mr. Murphy since his

arrest, and the good work that he is doing in the temperance reformation in this and other New England States, and his confidence in his

thorough reformation; and suggested a liberal contribution for his benefit, and the support of his six young motherless children. Music was

furnished by a select choir.

Sunday School Concert.—The children of the India Street Universalist Sunday School

gave a very interesting concert in the new

church, corner of Congress and India streets, last evening. The church was crowded to over-

flowing, many being obliged to stand throughout the entire exercises. The programme in- cluded an excellent variety of songs, recitations and dialogues, and as a whole the concert was

a model of its kind. Among the best features were the beautiful duett, “Over the River,” by Misses Fickett and Gardiner, the select read-

ings by Misses Mary C. Harris and Mary C.

Pennell, and the dialogue of “The Evergreen Shore.” A collection amounting to the sum of $41 was received for the benefit of the school, to be used in the completion of the vestry.

Mysterious Affair.—The remains of Al- bert Webber of this city, who was found a few

days since in a dying condition in a lime kiln in Dorchester, Mass., arrived in this city Fri-

day evening. It seems he left Biddeford, where he had been at work, last Saturday week, in-

tending to visit some friends in Gloucester. He also had a friend in Dorchester whom he con-

templated visiting. He was a strictly temper- ate man, and the whole affair is a mystery, but there are evidences of his having been drugged and carried to where he was found. A good suit of clothes which he had on when he left home had been removed, and old ones put on

instead. He was unconscious when found, and remained so till .he died. Detectives are at work endeavoring to clear up the matter.

Stoicism.—Riley and Kennedy, the men who wounded each other so badly with knives in flip ibaIpp on hnAril thp hriir Fftspatplli nn Fri-

day were fellows of great nerve. When the surgeon was sewing up the deep gashes on

Biley’s face and neck the fellow lay upon his back with his arms folded “shantying” a sea

refrain with apparently perfect indifference to

the pain. It was necessary to trim off the rim of Kennedy’s ear to give it decent shape, and it was done with the surgeon’s shears, Kennedy all the time bearing the pain without the move-

ment of a muscle. “Cut it away, doctor; let *er rip; I’ll pay the bills for tailoring,” he said to the doctor; “make a good neat job of it.”

Very few men can show so much nerve under like circumstances.

Entertainment.—There will be a grand dramatic and musical entertainment at Grand

Army Hall, Mechanic Association Building, on

Wednesday evening. The matter is in competent hands, under whose management an en-

tertainment of a superior class may be expected. The drama of “The Lust Loaf,” and the

comedy of “Rascal Pat” will be performed, and there will be some special musical enter-

tainments, for which arrangements are now be-

ing made.__ Miss Annie Louise Cary is making a great

success in opera if we may judge by the tone of our exchanges. From every city visited by the

Nilsson troupe we receive favorable, and in

many cases highly flattering criticisms. We

find the following notice in an account of the

rendering of Trovatori at St. Louis, where Miss

Cary sang Azucena to Nilsson’s Leonora and

Brignoli’s Manrico, in the Missouri Democrat, one of the best of Western authorities:

Miss Cary, whom we had only seen in the light characters of Siebel and Lady Allcash, astonished all by the depth of her Azucena It was full and complete in its dramatic aspect, the little Maine girl receiving the most decided evidence of appreciation. In the scene in which she is brought a prisoner to the camp of the Count, the audience was unable to wait for the end of the scene, but came out with a hearty encore. Her charming voice was never display ed to better advantage than in the Ritomer eino in the last act.

The Travelers’ Insurance Company makes an exhibit in another column, which is worthy the notice of thoughtful people,

The Portland and Ogdeuaburg. The following is a brief abstract of tlie bill

First Parish Church.—Rev. B. H. Bailey, the pastor of the First Parish Church, yesterday morning preached an able and impressive extemporaneous discourse upon “Christ the chief corner stone.” Text, Ephesians, 2d chapter, 20th verse, “And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Clirist himself being the chief corner stone.”

The discourse was a complete and, as before remarked, an able affirmation of Unitarianism, its satisfying consolations, its glorious truths and its beneficent promises to every soul. The recent departure of Rev. G. H. Hepworth from the Unitarian ranks and the consequent repeat- ed criticisms concerning the Unitarian body were the immediate considerations that suggested this sermon.

The preacher at first defined the text, as

showing God to be the foundation and Christ the chief corner stone of religion, which idea it was claimed, exalts Christ as a Saviour far above those of the popular church. All men

being mortal, and receiving the inspiration of God’s religion through the understanding, it is only necessary to.acknowledge God as the loving Father, the Author of us all, the merciful Judge of the universe, and desiring the salvation of every soul, and Christ as the Son of God, sent by God to show us the way to the Father through belief in His mission and faith, love, mercy, charity and good works. No sect

or body of believers, composed as they are of human individuals, have any right to stigma- tise others as not Christians who disagree with them as to tlie peculiar character ot tne comer stone. The Unitarians believe in Christ as the Saviour, who came to live and die to save us

from our sins and also maintain the union of faith and works. The essence of God is love and not vengeance, and the human heart an-

swers that in the promulgation of this belief and its application to the practical wants of the pleading soul, Unitarianism offers the fullest consolation. The cry against Unitarians by the so-called evangelical churches as not being Christians is assumption and the result of bigotry and intolerance.

Such men as Channine. Peabodv. Norton. Greenwood, and our own sainted Nichols and thousands of others less famed, men and women, are noble attestations that Unitarians, if they believe in Christ as a Saviour and.live go6d and worthy lives, are as truly Christians as any of the other denominations. The ancient church made no such unrighteous distinctions as have been made since. Unitarianism, however, has liberalized the other denominations as

the progress from the fearful doctrines of Jonathan Edwards of a century ago to the more progressive and Christ-like and loving be- liefs of the present prove. Although much bigotry remains, the progress of liberality and Christian charity among denominations is quite marked. Christ does not glory in the sufferings of the sinful and solely rejoice in the salvation of the elect. He loves every man, woman and child, and would bring them all to God, the Father.

Mr. Bailey alluded to several instances of the Christian works of Unitarians here and else- where and the consolation of their faith to many under his personal observation in the hour of death, and closed urging the largest development of trusting faith as the accompanying requisite with good works, and eulogised UnitarianiBm, which he truly believed was

growing stronger every day and proving by its doctrine of God’s love and Christ’s mediation its faith, liberalism, charity, love, consolation and glorious works and influence as best satisfying the yearnings of the Christian soul and the requirements of all the children of God.

Rev. D. A. Easton delivered an eloquent and interesting sermon at the West Congrega- tional Chapel yesterday afternoon. The text was taken from St. John xxi., 7, “Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Pet- er, it is the Lord.” The leading theme of the discourse was the necessity of exerising the beauties of a true Christian life in the small and apparently insignificant affairs of every day’s experience. Mr. Easton is a young man

of moro than ordinary ability, a graceful ami

pleasing speaker, and will prove an earnest and effective laborer in any field of Christian work to which he may be assigned.

ABBIB HBLBN hibby.—When the young, the promising and beautiful are removed from our midst by death, it is always easy for afflicted parents or friends to bow in calm’snbmission to the decrees of Divine Providence; but when such, like the subject of this notice, are taken, and are themselves soothed and sustained by an

abiding trust, and can lie down calmly upon the couch of death, it is indeed a source of very great consolation to surviving friends. And if any power is equal to sustain the dying or the living friends of the dying, through such a

scene, it is a faith in the declarations and promises of years. The deceased, a daughter of Mr. Washington Libby, was possessed of a singularly sweet and even disposition, and free from so many of the more usual failings of youthful character. And when warned by an insidious disease that time must be very short with her on earth, she w as not discouraged, but though life looked bright before her, she cheer- fully took the hand of Jesus, as it were, and descended into the dark valley. Fortunate will it be for all, if they could meet their providen- tial fate as hopefully as she did. Beautifully she lay in death! much more so will she appear in Heaven. *

XLIId CONGRESS-SECOND SESSION.

HOUSE.

Washington, Jan. 27.—The House met for general debate, Mr. Palmer of Iowa in the chair, and a few members in their seats

Mr. Beck, ot Kentucky, Hlaae a speech against the postal-telegraph scheme.

Mr. Reck opposed the project which on the opening of Congress was not recommended b* either the President or Postmaster General, but now it was urged as a necessity. The whole scheme was an effort to still further centralize and consolidate all power in the bands of government officials at Washington, and the pres ent Postmaster General was an unfit depository of such enormous power. The scheme would cost the country $60,000,000 outlay and the annual tax of $10,000,000 to sustain it. It would add 25,000 employes to the 70,000 now salaried by the government, and all would have to be subservient political tools of the Postmaster ueuerai or ue uiscnargeu. war government might as well take charge of railroads and ex-

press companies as of the telegraph as they are squally dangerous monopolies.

Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, said he was

sorry to hear Mr. Beck say he had no remedy to propose for the alleged present mismanagement, but he regarded the Hubbard proposition as one

tending at least to furnish a remedy, although he (Dawes) considered the present management of telegraphs as not giving any canse of complaint. He did not favor the Postmaster General’s system, and had no idea of support- ing it. He did not clearly see any relief in the Hubbard plan, but it showed the dawn of some relief and he was sorry to hear Mr. Beck reflect on Hubbard.

Mr. Beck said that he had ouly intended to speak of Hubbard as the attorney of an insol- vent corporation that had been swallowed up by the Western Union Company.

Mr. Dawes—In whose arms is the gentleman from Kentucky willing to repose—as Samson in the arms of Delilah?

Mr. Beck said he had no desire to stand by the Western Union Telegraph Company, nor by the Pennsylvania Bailroaa Company, for lie thought the country was going to be the worst corporation ridden country in the world, but lie was more afraid of the great corporation known as the Government of the United States than any other.

Speeches were also made by Mr. Wells, of Missouri, in favor of the organization of the Indian Territory of Oklahama; by Mr. Town- send of Pennsylvania, on the protection of home inilnstry; by Mr. Chipman in favor of a grant of land for schools for the District of Columbia; by Mr. Coghlan, of California, in support of the policy of preserving public lands for the toiling poor, and by Mr. Duell for a system of bounty land warrants to the soldiers and sailors of the late war. Adjourned.

UTAH. VETO OF AN ACT PROVIDING FOR A STATE

CONVENTION—THE SAINTS INDIGNANT THEREAT. Salt Lake City, Jan. 27.—Gov. Wood has

vetoed the act for holding a Convention to prepare a State Constitution. He says that without special Congressional authority the Terri- torial Legislature has no right to act upon the subject of admission as a State. Good judge- ment, he says, would require that before any convention be called, Utah should place herself in harmonious relations with the general government. All violations of the laws of Congress should cease. Polygamy should be abolished and laws enacted in accord with the laws of Congress.

The veto message created much excitement and the members expressed themselves with bitter invectives.

Taylor one of the apostles, exclaimed: “Are we nonentities? Are we serfs? Have we rendered ourselves criminal by putting the power into the hands of the people to ask for admission into the Union ?’^ “The polygamy clause of this message” said lie, “I consider an open insult to us.” It is worn threadbare and has been a stench ip the nqstflls of all respectable people. What laws have we violated, and if any, arc we not punished? Even murderers are brought to testify against us and every means used to prove us guilty of polygamy. If con-

trary to the constitution and laws of the Uni- ted States, why don’t the federal judges prosecute us under the United States laws? Is this House to be insulted by such charges as are contained in the document from the Governor. I say no—I throw it back in his face and tell him it is a falsehood. (Voices hear, hear). We are American citizens am} demand the rights oi such.

Sanies W. Young did not care a snap for the veto, and asked no odds of the Governor or any other man.

Mr. Rockwood said they had been abused long enough and he would gladly die a martyi to the Mormon cause. If there was any of the blood of our forefathers of ’7fi in the Assembly they would at opoe resent the insult.

On the motion of J. W. Young, a committee to act with a similar committee from the Coun- cil was appointed to draft a joint resolution foi the purpose named in the vetoed act. The same committee was instructed to draw a resolution expressive of the sense of the Hogse in regard to the offensive charges in the Governor’s mes-

sage.

BUSINESS NOTICES.

A Melancholy Break-Down.—There are lively hreak-downs that make an audience laugh, and there are sad and sorrowful break- downs that make the kind-hearted grieve. To the latter class belongs the enervation of body and mind which is usually called “general de- bility,” or “nervous weakness,” aud which, wheu neglected, too often terminates in atropy aud death. A wholesome medioated stimulant is the one needed in cases of this description, and science and experience unite in pointing to Plantation Bitters as the true specific. The fact that it combines the properties of an in- vigorant with those of a regulator and alterative, in exactly the proportions necessary to

produce a radioal ohange in the tone of the system, and the action of the digestive and secret- ive organs, is an unanswerable argument in its favor as a general restorative.

By J. Marian Mini*, M. D. [From The Medical Gazette of June 24th, 1871.] For about 8 months I have been using Ken-

nedy's Concentrated Extract ok Finds Canadensis in affections of the rectum, vagina and cervix uteri, and I consider it a most valuable remedy. I have used it diluted with wa-

ter as a vaginal wash, with great success; but I prefer to apply it to the os tincae on cotton wool, either pure or mixed with glycerine, or

glycerine and rose-water. Thus applied, it should remain Intact for two or three days and then be renewed. In this way I have seen

chronic granular vaginitis remedies in a few days that had resisted the ordinary remedies for weeks; I have seen granular erosions, with leucorrhoe disappear very rapidly under its use.

I have not time to say all that I could about it; but I am sure that it will soon be recognized as a valuable addition to our Materia Medica Knowing Mr. Kennedy as I do,I can confident- ly commend him to my professional brethren. His method of manufacturing the extract is uch as to warfaut it of uniform strength and purity.

Having been requested to state what I know therapeutically of Kennedy's Concentrated Ex- tract of Pinus Canadensis, and furthermore being requested to send it for publication in the columns of your journal, I beg leave briefly to tax your patience and generosity.

For the past six months I have used this extract in many cases affecting the mucous mem- branes, and in almost every case it has given entire satisfaction. In abrasion of the os and cervex uteri, when applied in its full strength by means of a pledget of cotton, I have fuund it far more satisfactory than tannin or iodine. In endometritis it has proved equally satisfactory. I have used it with perfect success in acute and chronic vaginitis, by applying it in its full strength every other day. I have also used it in several cases of gonorrhea, and must say that I vastly prefer it to the vaunted remedy of claret and tannin.

It is certainly a most valuable astringent and tonic; and I doubt not that it will very soon have its place in our Materia Medica.

FREE OF OOVERNIHEXT TAX. The Centbal Railroad of Iowa, a trunk lfn

running for 203 miles through the finest agricultural region in the. world, with a heavy lumber and coal traffic already developed, has been in operation since February last, and is now fully equipped with depots, water tanks, coal sheds and machine shops. The net earnings in October, the ninth month after the road was opened for business, were $37,293, after deduct- ing all expenses for operation and repairs. The result in September, before the Chicago fire which tem- porarily deranged the movement of freights, was even better. The company owes no floating debt, and the Ainded indebtedness incurred for construction amounts to only $16,000 a mile. The earnings are sufficient to pay the interest upon this light debt and leave

A Surplus of 918,000 u Mouth.

The entire debt is limited by charter to $20,000 a

mile, and the Equipment Bonds now offered cannot accordingly exceed $4,000 to the mile, secured by the franchises, road, track, rolling stock and property of every description belonging to a company already doing

A Prosperous Business. The proceeds of the present issue of Equipment

Bonds will be used in adding to the rolling stock, which proves Inadequate to the amouut of business ottering, though the company has now 22 locomotives, 500 freight cars, 10 passenger coaches, 5 baggage, ex-

press and mail cars, and 9 way or caboose cars. The Construction bonds were marketed at 96. The

Equipment Bonds, being secured by a second mortgage, are offered at 85 iu Currency and Accrued Interest.

The facts recited above show that the security is substantial and ample. At 86 the investment pays practically Eight and u Quarter per Cent, in Geld free of taxation. The limited amount of thes bonds now ottered ($250,000) cannot remain long upon the market, and we take this occasion to recommend them to investors.

FACING THE BAYONET! When soldiers face the bayonet they take the chance

of life or death; but when private citizens, deceived by the pretences of unscrupulous dealers, apply poisons to their heads to change the color of their hair, they have no idea of the terrible risks they run. The first analytical chemists have endorsed one hair dye as “free from everything deleterious to health," viz:

Christadoro’s Excelsior Hair Dye Let the wise and prudent stick to that. It imparts

shades of color that are perfectly life-like, and is in all respects the very best.

Remember the Swor<l Is not more dangerous than the lead compounds In the market, and that the Excelsior Dye contains no

lead. As a dressing after dyeing, use

ease the patient may be annoyed W ith only a slight dropping In tin" throat, as man) ex nress it the amount of discharge from the air'passages of tbo head at this stage of the disease being only slightly in excess of health. In some eases the discharge is thick, ropy and tough, requiring frequent and strong effort in me way of hawking, blowing and spitting to remove it from the throat, whore it

frequently lodges. In other eases, or in other stages of the same case, thedischarge is thin, watery, acrid, irritating ami profuse, lhe

nose may be stopped up from the swollen

and thickened condition ot the lining mu-

eous membrane, so as to necessitate respir- ation through the mouth, giving to the voice

a disagreeable nasal twang. The disease

sometimes assumes a dry form, there being very little or no discharge, lu some cases

the patient sutlers from headache a great portion of the time, or may experience a dull

heavy, disagreeable lullness or pressure in

the head, with confusion of his ideas, which renders him quite’unfit for business, es-

pecially such as requires deep thought ami

mental labor. Memory may be more or less

atfected, and the disposit ion ot those who are

otherwise amiable is often rendered irritable, or morose and despondent. Ihe mental tac-

ult ies suffer to such extent in some cases as

to result in insanity. The sense of smell is in many cases impaired, and sometimes en-

tirely lost, and the senses of taste and hearing may he more or less atfected.

The secretion which is thrown out in the more advanced stages of Chronic Catarrh becomes so acrid, unhealthy and poisonous, that it produces severe irritation and itflam- matlon, whieli are followed by excoriation and ulceration of the delicate lining membrane of the air passages in the head. As the id- eeration eats its way up among the small bones the discharge generally becomes profuse and often excessively fetid, requires the

frequent use of the handkerchief and ren-

ders the poor sufferer disagreeable both to himself and those with whom he associates. Thick, tough, brownish incrustations or bald- ened lumps, are many times formed in the head by the evaporation ot the watery portion of the discharge. These lumps are some-

times so large and tough that it is with great difficulty that they can be removed. They are usually discharged every day or two, but only to be succeeded by another crop. It is

painfully unpleasant to witness the ravages of this terrible disease, and observe the ex-

tent to which it sometimes progresses Holes are eaten through the roof of the mouth, and great cavities excavated into the solid bones of the face, and in such cases on-

ly the best and most thorough treatment, both local and constitutional, will cheek the progress and fatal termination of the disease.

Only a few of the large number of symptoms which I have described as common to tlie different stages of Catarrh will be likely to be manifested atone time in a single case.

Although they are all common to the disease 1U r>U!Ut IIO JVM V* vww

annually terminate in consumption or insanity, and end in the grave, without ever

having manifested one-half of the symptoms above enumerated.

As the disease progresses, or frequently in its earlier stages, the throat is apt to become affected. It becomes dry, sore or raw, or

studded with very small ulcers, which, as seen through the mouth, look like small pimples or “canker sores,” for which they are often mistaken. The voice may be more or

less affected, especially on exposure to cold or over-exertion, and a hacking cough is not unfrequent. Creeping along the continuous lining mucus membrane of the air passages, the disease gradually extends to the larynx, and by the same process of extension the bronchial tubes, and lastly the substance oi the lungs in their turn, are diseased, and Bronchitis and Consumption firmly established. Tightness in the chest, with dlfll- cuty of breathing, soreness, darting, sharp or dull heavy pain, or a prickly distressing sensation, accompanied with more or less cough aud expectoration, are evidence that the broncliial tubes have become affected, aud should admonish the sufferer that he is now standing upon the stepping-stone to Consumption, over which thousands annu-

ally tread in their slow, but sure, journey to the grave.

TREATMENT OF CATARRH. If you would remove an evil, strike atits

root. This is the “common-sense,” or ra-

tional way to treat Catarrh. As the predis- posing or real cause of catarrh is, in the ma-

jority of cases, some weakness, impurity or otherwise faulty condition of the system, which invites the disease, and needs only the irritation produced in the nasal passages by an attack of cold to kindle the flame and es- tablish the loathsome malady, in attempting to cure it our chief aim must be directed to the removal of that cause. The more I see of this odious disease, the more do I rec-

ognize the importance and necessity of com-

bining, with the use of a local soothing and healing application, a thorough internal use of blood-cleansing and strengthening medicine, if we would successfully treat the disease.

As a local application for healing the diseased condition in the head, HR. SAGE'S CATARRH REM-

EDY Is beyond all comparison the best prepara-

tion ever discovered. It is mild and pleasant to use, producing no smarting or pain, and contains no strong irritating or caustic drug or other poison. Its ingredients are simple and harmless, yet when scientifically and skillfully combined in just the right proportions they form a most wonderful and valuable healing medicine. Like gunpowder, which is formed by the combination of salt- petre, sulphur and charcoal, the ingredients ar<* simple, but the product of their combination is wonderful in its effects. It is a powerful antiseptic, and speedily destroys all bad smell which accompanies so many cases, thus affording great comfort to those who suffer in this way. It speedily subdues acute attacks of “cold in the head,” thus prevent- ing their resulting in Chronic Catarrh. Its cleansing antiseptic, soothing and healing properties are truly wonderful. The Catarrh Remedy fluid should be applied bv the use of IHt. PIERCE’S NASAL DOUCHE, which carries it high up and applies it to all parts of the affected nasal passages, and the chambers and cavities communicating there- with. Three or four packages of the Reme- dy used with this instrument —which is sold by druggists at sixty cents—will do more good than a dozen used in any other manner. While the Catarrh Remedy is being used lo- cally, we must not neglect to correct the constitutional fault upon which the disease generally depends, or the Catarrh, if relieved at all, is very apt to show itself again upon slight exposure. If it does not, the weakness or humor may manifest its presence by de- veloping disease of the lungs, liver, bones or

other organs or structures. For this reason, in particular, the reader must see the great importance of purifying and regulating the system and building up the strength to a

healthy standard at the same time that the disease in the head is beinghealed by the use of Dr.. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. Not only will the cure be thus more surely, speedily and permanently effected, but you thereby guard against other forms of disease breaking out as the result of humors in the blood or

constitutional derangements or weaknesses. For this purpose I have discovered a med-

icine that will, better than any other, ac- complish the object sought. To designate this wonderful medicine, I have named it DR. PIERCE’S ALT. EXT., OR

OOLDEN MEDICAL DIS- COVERT.

No other alterative or blood cleanser, and no other pectoral, or throat, bronchial or

lung medicine should ever be used with Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, as none other is so well calculated to work in harmony with, and assist it in its operations.

MyOoldcn Medical Discovery is the natural “help-mate” of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. It not only cleanses, purifies, regulates and builds up the system to a healthy standard, and con-

quers throat, bronchial and lung complica- tions when any such exist, but from its specific effects upon the lining membrane of the nasal passages it aids materially in restoring the diseased, thickened or ulcerated membrane to a healthy condition, and thus eradi- cating the disease. When a cure is effected in this manner it is permanent.

Indeed very few cases of Catarrh can be cured at all by the use of local applications only. A thorough course of alterative and tonic treatment must be used with Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, if you would derive the greatest amount of benefit. This will require the use of from six to twelve bottles of my Golden Medical Discovery.

Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy effects cures upon “common-sense,” rational and scientific principles, by its mild, soothing and healing properties, to which the disease gradually yields, when the system has been put in perfect order by the use of my Golden- Medical Discovery. This is the only perfectly safe, scientific and successful mode of act ing upon and healing it.

Scarcely a mail arrives that does not brin" me new testimony of cures effected by the treatment which I here recommend. The best evidence of what can be done in the treatment of any disease is to be found in the past success of the treatment to be employed. An old proverb says “what has been done may be done again.” In view of these facts, ami knowing that I have cured thousands of the worst cases of Catarrh, and have never failed to effect a perfect cure when I have had a reasonable chance,1 hereby offer iu good faith. SJOO Reward fora ease of Catarrh which I cannot cure. I claim that I CAN CURE ANY AND EVERY CASE OF IT ! . J'V,. oirections ARE

CONSUMPTION.

The great prevalence of this'.disease, nnd its fatal results, are well calculated to enlist our best efforts lor its cure. What is Con-

! sumption ? It is a disease ot the lungs, pro- ; duceti by an acrid and impure condition of I the blood, which, circulating through these

most delicate organs, poisons and Irritates their tissues and Invites scrofulous humors of the blood, causing the deposition of tu-

] bercles aud establishing local scrofula. Another prolific exciting cause ot the devel-

j opment of serotulous disease of the lungs, or tubercular consumption, is Chronic Nasal Catarrh, which, extending along the mucous lining membrane of the throat, trachea and bronchial lubes, finally attacks the substance of the lungs, aud here establishes such au

i irritation us lo Invite the blood to deposit its burden of impurities iu these organs. Con- sumption itself is not so often hereditary as is generally supposed. That a condition of lo* vitality may he transmitted from parents to cbiidreu is unquestionably true. It is

| this deficiency of vitality which is inherited —a weakness which makes nutrition impeiv feet, and leads to the deposit ot tubercles. But thousands of persons who inherit feeble vitality would never suffer Irorn consumption if the functions of the system were kept correct and the blood pure. When tho liver becomes torpid, and but vory imperfectly pours off the effete, poisonous materials ot the blood, the luugs, as has before been shown, become irritated, The general health becomes broken down, and the person feels languid, Weak, faint, drowsy and confused. Tain in the right Bide, in the region ot the liver, and sympathetic pain in the shoulders and spine, aud through the luugs, is generally comp ]aiued of. The patient soon has a dry, hacking cough—that liver cough ! Small minute tubaicles are developed in the lungs, and perhaps exist for months all unknown to their victim. Nothing is done to remove tubercles by tbe ordinary treatment.

Cough is only a symptom of the disease, yet this only is aimed at iu tbe usual treatment. There is no rational way to cure consumption except to purity tbe blood. Those poisonous materials in the blood which cause the tubercles must be thrown off by excit ng tbe liver to action. Vitality must be supported, the system nourished and built up,and the development of tubercles thus preveuted. Remove the blood poison by restoring the action of the liver, aud the cough, which is only a symptom of the real disease, is re-

I lleved. You thereby strike at the root of in- cipient consumption and cure the patient.

From the properties aud remedial effects of Dr. Pierce’s Uolden Medical Discovery, wh eh I have In the preceeding pages fully explained, the reader will readily understand wby it has been so successful in curing this fa'al malady.

With it I have arrested tha hacking and barrassiog cough, the night sweats and hec- tic fever of the consumptive invalid; snatched from tbe jaws of death and restored to health and happiness many who but for my Discovery, must soon have fallen victims to that relentless foe. Uod, I believe, has instilled into the roots and plants from which this wonderful medicine is ex-

tracted. the healing properties, by the use of which, Consumption, the scourge of the hu- mau family, may, iu its early stages, be promptly arrosted and permanently cured. I do not wish to delude, flatter, aud theu disappoint the afflicted by asserting that this c n be accomplished when tbe lungs aro halt consumed, as many do who, being devoid of all conscience, aim to humbug the afflicted, that they may sell their often worse than worthless compounds.

; Rut if my Alt. Ext., or Golden Medica Discovery, is employed in the first or early stages of the disease, I kuow from ample observation and actual test iu hundreds of cases, that it will jposilively arrest the disease and restore health and strength. From its wonderful power over this terrible disease I thought of calling it my Consumptive Cure; but from the tact that it is a perfect specific for tbe sore throat and hoarseness to which ministers and other public speakers and singers are subject, and also for Bron- chilis, and all severe Coughs, and is an invaluable remedy for diseases of the Liver, and also as a blood purifier, I decided not to apply to it a name which might mislead and prevent its use in other diseases for which It is so admirably adapted.

It will cure a Cougli in one-half the time necessary to-cure it with any other medicine, and it does it not by drying it up. hut by remov-

ing tiie cause, subduing the irriia. lion and liedling the affected pails.

BLOOD DISEASES.

Erysipelas, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworms, Pimples, Blotches, Eruptions, Rough Skin. Boils, Carbuncles, Scrofu- la, Fever sores, White Swellings, Tumors, Old Sores or Ulcers. “The blood is the life1” This is as true as

a mathematical or any other scientific propo- and one that should influence every physician. From the blood we derive our strength and mental capabilities. When this source is cor- rupted, the painful and sorrow producing effects are visable in many shapes. From the blood our systems are built up and kept]iD repair. The strength of our constitutions, and onr powers of endurance,and withstand-

j iug disease-producing agencies with impunity depends largely upon the condition in which our blood is kept. If it holds in suspension

! or solution vile festering poisons, all organic functions are weakened thereby. Settli> g upon vital and important organs as the brain, lungs, liver and kidneys, the effects ot these poisons in the blood is many times most dis- astrous. Hence, it behooves every one to keep their blood in a perfectly healthy condition.

For when you purity your blood to cure Salt Rheum or an Erysipelas humor, you not only cure these diseases, but you put your

.system in such an improved condition that you are not so liable to any other disease. In other words, you thereby fortify your systems against the encroachments of disease of all kinds. No matter what the external or exciting cause may be, the real direct cause of a large proportion of all chronic or lingering diseases is bad blood. The multilarious forms in which it manifests itself, would form subjects upon which 1 might write volnmes. But as all the varied forms of disease which de- pend upon bad blood are cured, or best treated, by such medicines as take up from this fluid and fxcreta from the system the nox- ious elements,it is not of practical importance that I should describe each minutely. For instance, medical authors describe about fitty »<»» icuca ui diviii uiscaae.uui as iiiey an require for their cure very similar treatment, it is of | uo practical utility to know just what name to apply to a certaio form of skin disease, so you know how best to c .re it. Theu again, I might go ou and describe various kinds of scrofulous sores, fever sores, white swellings, enlarged glands, and ulcers of varying ap- pearances; but as all these various appearing manifestations of bad blood are cured by uniform means, I deem such a course unneces- sary. Thoroughly cleanse the blood, which is the great fountain of life, and gocd digestion,a lair skin,buoyant spirits.vital strength, and soundness of constitution will all return to us.

The liver is the great depurating or blood cleansing organ of the system. Set the great housekeeper of our health at work, and the foul corruptions which geuder iu the blood, rot out, as it were, the machinery of life, are

gradually expelled from the system. For this purpose Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is pro eminently the article needed. It cures every kind of humor, from the worst scrofula to the common pimple, blotch or eruption. Great eating ulcers kindly heal under its mighty curative influence. Viru- lent poisons that lurk in the system are by it robbed of their terrors, and by a persever- ing and somewhat protracted use of it, the moBt tainted systems may be completely ren- ovated and built up auew.

Enlarged glands, tumors aud swellings dwindle away and disappear under the influence of this great resolvent. The system being put under its influence for a few weeks, the skin becomes smooth, clear, soft and vel- vety, and being illuminated with the glow of perfect health from within, true beauty staiids forth in all iu glory. The effects of all medicines which operate upon the system through the medium of the blood are neces- sarily somewhat slow, no matter how good the remedy employed. While one to three bottles will clear the skin of pimples, a dozen, or even a dozen and a half may be required to cure some cases where the system is rotten with scrofulous or other poisons. The cure of all these diseases, however, from the common pimple to the worst scrofula, is, with the use of tliis most potent agent, only a matter of time.

Although the Northern Pacific Railroad Company intend to sell the same quality of lands at prices BE-

I OW OTHER GRANTS, to induce rapid set-

tl mont; still the practical working of the above pro-

vision is aj>parent, for the sales of land up to Novem- ber 1st exceeded 200,000 acres, at an average price up-

wards of SO er acre, EQUAB TO 81,400.000, OB MORE THAN 1© PER CENT. ON

811,500,000, WHICH WAS THE TO-

TAL AMOUNT OF BONDS SOBD TO

THAT DATE; still this 200,000 acres of land is

i NOT QUITE ONE-SIXTEENTH PART OF THE BAND GRANT IN MINNESO-

TA ABONE.

Below we give the average price per acre of the

sales of the T.and Grants on different roads, that some

idea may be formed of the immense value of the GO,-

| 000,000 acres granted to the Northern Pacific

; Railroad Company, for there can be no doubt that

the average price per acre of its land sales will be

much above the general average’price of these roads:

The CHARACTER of the Land Grant of the

Northern Pacific Railroad Company, as a whole, is

readily acknowledged by all persons acquainted with

the different Grants, to be SUPERIOR TO

THAT OF ANY OTHER ROAR; but even

if the average price per acre of its land sales should

not be above the lowest average of all the land grants which is but $2.70 on the Kansas Pacific Road, still

at this low figure for the 25,000 acres held to redeem

each $50,000 of bonds, there would be a surplus of

$17,500 over the amount of bonds that can be issued

on each mile of the Northern Pacific Railroad.

During the present month the Northern Pacific

Railroad will be opened for passengers and freight to

the Red River of the North, the eastern boundary of Dakota Territory—this, with the completed road on the Pacific slope, and the St. Paul and Pacific

branches of 288 miles, will make nearly 600 miles of road in operation at the close of this year.

As the U. S. Government is now calling iu the Five-

Twenties, holders of these can convert them into

Northern Pacific Bonds, and thereby INCREASE THEIR INCOME MORE THAN 33 1-3

CENT. At the present time a good propor-

tion of the sales of N. P. Bonds are by the conversion

of Five-Twenties, and we notice that the Boston

Journal in its monetary article nf Nav 11 nn<

“Holders of Five-Twenties'(of 1862) are either real-

zing upon them, or exchanging them into other is-

sues—often into railroad bonds—the Northern Pacific

Seven-Thirties are favorites for reinvestment,”

The Chicago disaster fully demonstrated that a First Mortgage Bond on any Trunk Line of railroad is the safest and least fluctuating security known. ThiB is manifest in one quite marked instance, as seen in the fluctuation of the first Mortgage Bonds of the Michigan Central Railroad, which fell but one per cent, in the late financial panic, while U. S. Five- Twenties and Sixes of 1881 fluctuated two to three per cent, j and here the Michigan Central Railroad had met with the greatest loss it could by fire—the burning of its large terminal depot. The New Yrok Daily Bulletin, which gives the authentic reports of the Stock Exchange, in its issue of the 11th of Octo- ber, after the Chicago lire, says: “Railroad Bonds have stood the Shock better than any other class of securities,” and again, October 18tli, says: “Railroad Bonds are steadier than anyjother class of securities,”

B3P"To persons seeking permanent investments, also holders of Government Bonds wishing to increase their income, WE WOULD RECOMMEND THE NORTHERN PACIFIC SEVEN-

THIRTY GOLD BONDS AS ONE OF THE BEST AND SAFEST RAILROAD SECURITIES NOW OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC.

We recommend this bond for the reason that it is GROUNDED UPON A LANDED REAL ESTATE BASIS, WORTH DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF BONDS ISSUED PER MILE, AND ALSO UPON A FULLY EQUIPPED TRUNK LINE OF RAILROAD RUNNING THBOUGA THE SAME.

For further particulars concerning this Bond, or

purchase of the same apply to the undersigned.

OFFICE OF

THE above is an engraving of a Steam Boiler containing 1200 feet or heating surface, built upon a

new principle, namely,that of stopping the vertical circulation, accomplished by means of two horizon-

uvu//rw' «;/mo minim- UUUU^U LUC IHUICI, JUKI

forming three water compartments. By this arrangement there is maintained three temperatures of water.

The smoke and heated gases pass first through the tubes in the upper compartment, then descend, and return through the tubes in the second eompartment, thence again descending they pass through the tubes in the third comnartment. By this operation, the smoke, and heated gases from the furnace on their way to the smoke stack, or chimney come in contact with gradually decreasing temperatures of water.

While doing average work, coupled with a good engine, it will supply steam for 150 indicated horse power.

We will guarantee that this boiler will shew 50 per cent, more power with the same weight of coal than any boiler of the same heating surface in the market, and will continue to do so, as long as it is used, and we will back our guarantees with Gov- ernment Bonds,

The durability of this boiler is greater than any ather for the reason is that no cold water is allowed to come in contact with the intensely heated surfaces, the feed water being gradually heated as it ascends From the lower to the upper compartment.

We would especially call the attention of Railroad men to the following facta, that while running this boilerwith coal or wood the sparks are neutralized, and none have ever left the smoke-stack or chimney, which in itself is a most valuable advantage, nevei before realized.

Confining ourselves to practice and not. theory we Invite all parties in want of Steam Boilers to give us a call.
