The iihoat that Jim Saw.

I HAN9A9 PACIFIC BAII.WAY, 1873.

" Why, as to that," said the engineer," Ghosts ain't things we are apt to fear,Spirits don't fool with levers' much*And throttle valves don't take to such ;

And as for Jim —What happened to him

Was ono half fact and t'other half whim!

Bunning one night on the line, he sawA house—us plain as the moral law—Just by the moonlit bank, and thenceCame a diunken man with no more sense

Than to drop on the rail,Flat as a flail,

As Jim drove by with the midnight mail.

Down went the patents. Steam reversed,Too late ! for thero came a • thud,' Jim cursed,As his fireman, there in the cab with him,Kinder stared in the face of Jim,

And says, " What now?"Says Jim, ' What now f

I've just run over a man—that's how!"

Tho fireman stared at Jim. They ranBack, but they never found house nor man,—Nary a shadow within a mile,Jim turned pale, but he tried to smile—

Then on he tore,Ten mile or more,

In quicker time than he'd made afore.

Would you believe it!—the very noit nightUp rose that house in the moonlight white ;Out comes the chap and drops as befoie.Down goes the brakeB, and the rest encore— •

And so in fact,Each night that act

Occurred, till folks swore Jim was cracked.

Humph ! Let me see; It's a year now, most,That I met Jim east aud saya, 'How's your

ghost?' . g- _ w- _. .' Gone,' says Jim; ' and more, it's plainThat ghost don't trouble me again-:

I thought I shook, That ghost when I took*A place on an eastern line—but look:

What should I meet the first trip out,But that very house that we talked about,And the self-same man ! " Well," says I, " I

guessIt's time to stop this yer foolishness."

So I crammed on steam,When there came a scream

From my fireman—and it broke my dream -

You've killed somebody I'1' Says I, "Not much!I've been thar otten and thar ain't no such,And now I'll prove it." Back we ran,And—darn my skin ! —but thar MM a man

On the rail, dead,Smashed in the head—

The Cohausey Tea-Fight.

BY IXCY ELLEX GUERNSEY.

One night,—it was the 20th of No-vember and a fine moonlight, thoughrather foggy,—I went to the backdoor tora breath of air, and I saw a fine largebrig coming up with the tide. She seem-ed to find her way without any trouble,and presently came to anchor over thorewhere you see that pine stump—it was afine tree then—not far from our house. Istood watching, and presently 1 saw Abi-ram and two other men come ashore fromthe brig. They came up the path towardthe. house, but I didn't stay to meet them.I went back to Aunt Betsy, and whenAbiram called me to see to supper, hetold ine the strange men would stay, andasked me if I wouldn't sit down and maketea. For you see I hadn't sat down to asingle meal with him since he came home.

" ' Tea !' said I, ' where did you getany tea'("' I knew ours had been outsome time, and you couldn't buy an ouncefor love nor money.

"'Nevermind,' said Abiram, lookingas pleased as could be. ' I've got it, andplenty more of nice things. Now be agood girl and see to the supper, and Ipromise not to say a word thee won't liketo hear.' . , , _

"Well, I didn't want to make a fussbefore the strangers, so I said I would;and I made some nico hot cakes and frieda chicken, and turned out the tea, but Iwouldu't touch a drop, more than if itweie poison. The two men were English,as I made out by their talk, and one ofthem was captain of the brig. He hadbeen drinking a little, and he kept throw-ing out hints which made me open myears, and caused the other1 man to swearat him for a fool. *

" Well, I did up the work, and was justgoing up-stairs to bed, wheu Abiramstopped rue.

" ' What is it ?' I asked sharply enough.' " I only wanted to say that thee

needn't be scared if the hears a noise inthe night;' said he meekly. ' I have gotsome goods aboard the brig, and I amgoing to have them unloaded, becausethe captain wants to get away.'

" Somehow it flashed across me all in aminute what the goods were. So insteadof going to bed, I blew out the candle andsat down behind the curtain to watch.—Presently I saw the men from the brigbringing up the goods all covered withtarpaulins and stowing them in the cellar.They had nearly finished when one of themen let fall a square box, and I knew bythe sound that something had broken.The captain cursed him for a clumsy fool.Abiram brought out a broom, and I couldsee them sweeping and brushing some-thing. Finally the business w»s finished,the men went away, and Abiram cameup-stairs and went to bed. He was gen-erally the first one up in the morning,but this time I stole a march on him, andwas down before six o'clock, I took thelantern and began searching where I hadseen them sweeping the night before, andsure enough, in a little hollow by the sideof the path I found about half a handfulof nice green tea !

*' I gathered up the tea in my hands,rl wranned it in a paper I had in my

Betsy and go against her wishes, but thereseemed no other way.

" I was busy getting breakfast whenAbiram came down. I thought it best tobo civil to him, and easily put him into agood humor. That day everybody no-ticed that thorn was a good deal of ridinground, and going in and out of DoctorElinor's and Mr. Philip Fithian's. Hewas a minister, and a great patriot. Iwas on thorns, expecting I didn't knowwhat, and ready to start at every noise,but I kept about my work, and waited onAunt Betsy, and wns so pleasant to Abi-ram that he really thought I was cominground.

" The next evening about ten o'clockthere came a great knocking at our door.I was up in a minute, and looking out, 1saw by the moonlight about thirty Indiansin war-paint and feathers standing roundthe house. My heart was in my mouthfor a minute, and then it came over mewhat they had come.for.

" ' What do you want:' called Abiramfrom his window.

" ' We have como for a cup of tea !"said a voice which I knew right well.—' Get up and give it to us like a good fel-low, or we shall have to take it where wecan find it.'

" Abiram blustered and talked big, butit was no use. They told him if ho didn'topen the doors, they would break themdown, and at last, rather than have hishouse attacked, he gave up the keys.They touched nothing else in the house,but they carried all the tea out into themeadow yonder., piled it up, and, set it onfire. It burned splendidly, and perfumedthe air for half a mile round. There wereat least two hundred people looking on,but nobody said a word, or offered to in-terfere. It was all as solemn as a yearlymeeting, and it had a right to be, whentwo at least of the Indians were ministersWhen the tea was all burned, everybodywent quietly home.—From tho April At-lantic.

Deacon Barnes' Sunday."Beautiful! beautiful!" mentally

ejaculated Deacon Barnes at the close ofa sermon about Heaven. " Those arc myideas exactly."

And so exhilerated was he with histhoughts as he passed out of the churchthat he forgot to ask lame old Mrs Howeto ride home with him, as was his usualcustom.

" Perhaps it is just as well," hethought, " for she is a, wordly old wom-an and would probably have drawn mythoughts away from heaven.

At the dinner table his son exclaimed :" Oh father, I have got a situation atlast!"

"Have you forgotten that it is Sunday,John f Don't let me hear any more suchtalk," said the father sternly.

John ate his dinner in silence. Howcould his situation.be a wrong thiug tospeak of on Sunday f1 He was so thank-ful, for it seemed to come from tho handof God. God knew all about the restlessmonths in which he had. answered anadvertisement every week.

When the minister gave thanks for allthe mercies of tho past week, John'sheart gave a grateful throb, and he de-termined anew that he would acknowl-edge God in all his ways.

John ato his dinner, iu silence whilehis father thought of Heaven.

In the afternoon Mr. Barnes' nfpheiv,who was a stranger in town, eainb fromhis boarding place opposite . and sat onthe piazza talking with John.

" I can't allow this Tom," said Mr.Barnes, coming to the door with his Bi-ble in hand, " vou musn't sit here break-ing the Sabbath. Go to your boardinghouse and read some good book."

" Tom started up angrily and spent thoafternoon fishing and bathing with anold colored man, his only acquaintancein the place, while Mr. Barnes sat in alarge rocker on the piazzn with a handkerchief spread over his face and thoughtabout Heaven.

Presently his two littlo grand daughterscame out on the piazza with a largepicture book and sat down near theirgrand father. There was a flutter ofleaves, and a great deal of buzzing as thelittle yellow heads bent over the bookand finally laughed outright.

"Children where is your "mother'?sternly demanded Deacon Barnes spring-ing to his foet.

Deacon Barnes strode into the hall." Ellen ! Ellen !" he shouted, " I should

think yon might keep those children qui-et on the Sabbath. They won't allowme to think."

"Please send them up stairs," she saidwearily.

And all the sultry afternoon she amus-ed the three children in a close, upperroom, while her father rocked and fannedhimself and thought of Heaven.

and wrapped it in a paperpocket, and then I stole down to the creek,to tho place where I knew Abiram's littleskiff was tied up. I t was no sudden move.I had been thinking all night, and I madeup my mind that I must see Lewis andtell him the whole story. For, absurd asit may seem, I was really afraid AuntBetsy would contrive gome way to marrymo to Abiram even against my will.

"The tide was running out and helpedme, and I was soon at James Whitecar'slanding, for I knew how to handle a boat.I found Lewis at the barn, told him thewhole story, and showed him the tea.—You ought to have seen how hiB eyesflashed.

" ' So that is what he has been up to!'said he; 'we have been watching him fora -week, and suspected as much.' Thenhe called Stephen Whitecar, James' broth-er, a great friend of his, and showed himthe tea.

" ' We'll take care of him !' said Stephen.1 Only thee keep quiet, Sybilla, and don'tlet on that thee knows anything.'"

" Was Stephen a friend ?" I asked." Well, yes, ho belonged to Meeting,

and his mother was a preacher, as I toldyou. So we talked it over, and Stephenwas for calling his mother, and havingmo stay, but I said I thought I had bet-ter go right baek.

".'Don't tell me anything:' said I ;' and then I can answer no questions.'

" Lewis said I was right and he wouldrow me back himself. On the way it wassettled between us that he should comefor me the next day but two, and thenwe would go and get married. The rea-son we waited was that I should be of agein two days, and then nobody would haveanything to say. I hated to leave Aunt

Manners." You will never learn manners without

We shall never learn to be man-nerly and courteous in tho street until welearn to be so in the home circle, and weshall never learn to be outwarely court-eous until our hearts have been imbuedwith that kind of unselfishness which isthe principal element of true courtesy.—Books of behavior—rules as to the carry-rying of the hands or of tho head—are ofvery little value, so long as we are inwardly wanting in generous regard forthe feelings, convenience, or comfort ofothers. For rest assured that the obser-vation of external propriety has no little

Homn Interests.The power of habit is something of

which we are every day conscious. Tho'so much has been said and written con-cerning it, we need still ''lino upon line,precept upon precept, here a little andthere a great deal" to keep in our mindsthe importance of forming in our childrenand strengthening in ourselves good hab-its. I t is so difficult to break up long-established modes of action, and turn thechannels of one's activities in now direc-tions, that it is not surprising the maturein life, who have suffered from not beingstarted right in tho first place, should layas they are inclined to, great stress on thoimportance of making in all things a goodbeginning.

Thero are a few habits which form apretty good foundation for success in lifoand insure the friendship of the discern-ing and virtuous. First among these wewould place the habit of self-help. Thismay and should be formed in a child, be-fore it can walk or talk, by providing re-sources for its amusement and leaving it,within due bounds, to depend upon thoseresources. Then as it grows older itshould bs taught and gently compelledto perform in its own behalf all that itcan do. Few of us but know young menand .young women perfectly helpless forall the ordinary uses of lifo. If theyalone were tho sufferers, it wouldn't mat-ter much, but they are social leeches, al-ways demanding service and never rend-ering it. Good husbands, good wives,good, parents rarely, if over, are found inthis class of people.

Next in importance to the habit of self-help we would place that of personal ti-diness. We do not care to guess howmany American men and womon setdown to breakfast every morning withtheir toilets half made, the men withoutcollar and cravat, the women with un-kempt hair, and the children resemblingthe parents in dress as much as in feature." But you see there are so many things todo in ttte morning—stock to feed, cows tomilk, fires to make, milk to skim, child-ren to dress, breakfast to get—that onecan't spend much time fixing themselvesup." All very true ; but one doesn't goround barefooted in the morning, or with-out washing face and hands, because ahabit the reverse of all that has beenformed. " My hair is combed in themorning for all day before I leave mychamber," said an elegant housekeeperthe other day, and she keeps no girl, andwe couldn't help thinking the happinessher husband must have had just in theono particular of seeing her every morn-ing for twenty years with smoothly comb-ed hair, and neat linen collar, oppositehim at the breakfast table, and of the or-der and cleanliness in tho household ofwhich that one little item was an index.That "cleanliness is next to godliness."should be early and deeply impressed onevery child, and it should be taught toshrink from uncleanliness and untidinessas it shrinks from vice.

Another habit of great value is that ofcourtesy. If a child is properly trainedto ask for what he wants aud make meetacknowledgments for favors received, torecognize tho rights aud respect tho feel-ings of others, he will be able to winfriends no matter what other faults hemay have. This habit ho will acquire, orabsorb, rather, from those around him.—Courteous children are but the reflectionof courteous parents. Genuine courtesyflows out from the heart and can neverbe put on as an oustide garment.

Another excellent habit is that of help-ing others. In fact we are in the worldfor the express purpose of doing that verything, and if we fail in this, it matters lit-tle to any but ourselves how long we re-main here. It is natural for the lovingparent to do everything for his child andrequire nothing in return, but the soonerthe child is taught to deny himself in or-der to serve others, bis parents, his broth-ors and sisters, the more certainly willwhatever is noble in him be developed.We are all selfish enough, and there arevery few who are not improved by hav-ing their impulses of benevolence stimu-lated.

The habit of improving one's time is ofimportance that can hardly be over-esti-mated. Not that children should workall the time, but that they should spendvery few hours in mere idleness and time-killing. Ono occupation should succeedanother, so as to give due variety and ex-ercise the mental and bodily powers inharmony. Idle children are apt to makeidle grown folks, and there are too manydrones in society for its good, as we allknow.

The last habit we will mention is thatof perseverance. Life, from beginning toend, is full of obstacles to be overcome,of problems to be solved, of mountains tobe tunneled and valleys to bo filled up,and we can hardly begin too soon our en-deavors to master destiny. He that over-comes in little will overcome in much.A child should not be given a task be-yond its powers, but within that limit heshould be required to do what is assignedhim. The stimulus of praise or rewardwill often be sufficient to secure the per-formance of a given labor, though thepain of censure may sometimes be neces-sary. •

With those habits of self-help, personaltidiness, courtesy, helping others, improv-ing one's time, and perseverance, it mat-ters little how poor in puise an individualmay be left, he or she will possess a bouy-ant power that will raise them above ad-versity and pluck victory from tho armsof defeat.—New York Tribune.

The Inebriate.

Not a sous had ho got, not a guinea or nott:,Aud ho lookod confoundedly flurried

As ho bolted away without paying his shot;And the# landlady after him hurried.

We saw him a<ain at dead of night,When home from the C!ub returning;

We twigged tho Doctor beneath tho lightOf the gas-lamp brilliantly burning.

All bare aud exposed to the midnight dews,Reclined in tho gutter n'o found him,

And he looked like a gentleman taking asnoozo,With his Marshal cloak around him.

" The Doctor's as drunk as the d—," wo said,And we managed a shutter to borrow ;

Wo raised him, and sighed at the thought thathis head

Would "consumedly ache" on the morrow.

Wo bore him home, and put him to bed,And we told his wife and his daughter

To give him next morning, a couple of redHerrings, with soda-water.

Loudly they talked of his money that's gone,And his lady begau to upbraid him;

But. little he recked, BO they let him snore on'Neath the counterpane just aa we laid him.

part in heart cultivation. It is impossiblefor a person to observe with strictness allthe outward form of courtesy, without be-ing outwardly bettered thereby, since theobservation of the outward form soon be-comes a habit of action, of thought andfeeling.

The truth of the matter is, there is a

A Hungry Carpet-Bag-.The Buffalo Express relates an amus-

ing incident which occurred at Erie afew days since. A gentleman left Cleve-land for New York at an early hour inthe morning, without his breakfast, and

great deal of cant abroad about frankness—which is mistaken for sound philosophy;and this is particularly true concerningthe subject in hand. People are vory aptto say, " I must act as'I feel, or I shall behypocritical," which means, being inter-preted, " If I am in the mood of being ill-mannered I must be so, or cease to seemwhat I am." Very well; be hypocriticalto that extent—tho extent of trying to beagreeable when you feel inclined to bootherwise—and you will feel the betterfor i t ; for it is better to observe the form-of goodness without the soul of it, than,rejecting both form and soul, to he rudebecause it happens to accord with thenatural impulses of the heart to be so.—Let us bo decent for decency's sake; andif wo cannot bo courteous, let us bo cour-teous for courtesy's sake—which, of otherreasons having none, is sufficient reasonwhy we sho\ild bo so.

A Chicago poet, upon hearing thatNilsson was about to erect cow shedsupon her Peoria lots, has burst forth inthe following verse : Christine, Chris-tino, thy milking do tho morn and evebetween, and not by the dim, religiouslight of tho fitful kerosene. For thecow. may plunge and the lamp explodeand the fire fiend ride the gale, andshriek tho knell of the burning town inthe glow of the molten pail !"

being very hungry, upon the arrival ofthe train at Erie, entered the dining-room, and, placing his carpet-bag upon achair, sat down beside it and commenceda valorous attack upon the viands placedbefore him. By-and-by the proprietor ofthe establishment came around to collectfares, and, upon reaching our friend, heejaculated :

" Dollar, sir!"" A dollar !" responded the eating man ;

a dollar—thought you only charged fif-ty cents a meal for one—eh V"

" That'B true," said Meanness, " but Icount your carpet-bag one, since it occu-pies a seat."

The table was far from being crowded.Our friend expostulated, but the land-lord insisted, and the dollar was reluct-antly brought forth. The landlord pass-ed on. ' Our friend deliberately arose,and opening his carpet-bag full in itswide mouth, discoursed unto it, saying," Carpet-bag it seems you're an individ-ual—a human individual, since you eat:at least I've paid for you, and now youmust eat," upon which he siezed every-thing eatable within his reach, nuts,raisins, apples* cakes, and pies, andamid the roars of the bystanders, thedelight of his brother passengers anddiscomfiture of tho landlord, phleg-matically went and took his seat in thecars. He said he had provisions enoughto last him to Now York, after a bounti-ful supply had been served out in thecars. There was at least eight dollarsworth in the bag—upon which the land-lord realized nothrng in the way of prof-it. So much for meanness.

How to Save tiie Men from Saloons.

MAKE HOME TLEASAXT.

From Appleton's Journal.I t is offered as an excuse for the recent

very extraordinary proceedings againstliquor-sellers, that women are peculiarlysufferers from intemperance among men.The drinking shop, it is alleged, seduceshusbands and sons from their homes,tempts them to the spending of wagesneeded in their households, and is thofruitful cause of vast domestic misery,which falls heavily upon the women ofthe family.

No doubt this is true. But we accusewomen of being especially responsibilefor this condition of things. We chargethat men; especially young men, are se-duged to the drinkiug-shop because it pos-sesses superior attractions to their homes.We indict women, both as mothers andwives, for such neglect of their duties thattheir husbands and sons have been driv-en abroad in pursuit of those pleasuresand felicities that women are under moralobligation to provide in the household.

There are some men so depraved by na-ture that no influence is powerful enoughto keep them from evil. These exception-al cases wo exclude from present consid-eration. They are morally diseased, andthe physician alone can adequately dealwith them.

But the average man is entirely suscep-tible to influences. His conduct is oer-tain to prove a definite result of trainingand eduoation. It is a matter of pure dy-namics. If the good influences that sur-round him are greater than the evil ones,he will yield to-the former; if the evil influences are greater than th..« good ones,he will surrender to the latter. Of course,this is just as true of women as it is ofmen. But the question now before us isthis: How far are women responsiblefor the dissipated course of. men f Howis it that the society of tho dram-shop isa greater social power than that of, thehearthstone'{

When we hear a woman complain thather sons have drifted away from the do-minion of her influence ; that, while edu-cated at her side, they have oome to pre-fer the companionship of the vicious tothat of her, then we know this motherhas been unequal to tho duty imposedupon her. Where there are no distinctlyinherited depravities, there has been somefatal neglect iu the homo training thathas permitted this deplorable result tocome about.

When we hear of tho husband whoceaselessly seeks for his felicities abroad,who prefers the public-house, the club, orboon companions, to tho society of hisfamily, then we are assured that in someway the home, which ought to bo first inhis affections, has failed to assert that do-minion over his heart, which if rightlyconducted it would havo been sure to do.

The average American interior is op-pressively dreary. Men eat and sleep intheir houses because it is more convenientto sleep and eat there than elsowhere ;but, beyond this, the ordinary "roof-tree"is utterly without attractions. I t is with-out attractions, not so much from neglectas from a perverse determination that itswhole economy shall be of the most pinch-ed, stinted, narrow, and cheerless char-acter, such as only dull imagination, falseeconomy, cold sympathies, and selfishtastes, can make it.

Go into our towns and villages, and seothe so-i ailed homes. Watch and discov-er the theory under which so many ofthem are conducted. A window is neveropened ; a door never stands ajar. Dur-ing tho day the glorious sun is never per-mitted to enter their darkened chambers ;at night a feeble light through a windowshows how tho family dismally burrow ina corner. Enter, and you will discoverthat tho house is inhospitable to thestranger, and gives no indication that itis meant to bo enjoyed by its inmates.—•The parlors are chill with an atmospherethat rarely knows a human presence.The passages echo the sound of your foot-fall as if startled by the unusual intrus-in. The women aro gathered in the kitch-en, where tho stove-heated air and theodors of the cuisine are sickening and un-wholesome ; and the men are anywhereout of the house,—anywhere to escape thethe appalling deadness that settles uponthe place.

Iu these homes, tho women would rath-

are associated with the repression of thesenatural instincts, you will be sure tothrow them into the society that in anymeasure can supply the need of theirhearts. They will not go to tho public-house at first, for lovo of liquor,—veryfew people ever really like tho taste of li-quor,—they will go for the animated andhilarious companionship they find there,which, they discover, does so much to re-press the disturbing restlessness in theirbreasts. See to it, then, that their homescompete with public places in attractive-ness. Open your blinds by day, and lightbright fires at night. Illuminato yourrooms. Hang pictures on the walls. Putbooks and newspapers on your tables.—Havo music and entertaining games.—Banish those demons of dullness and apa-thy that have so long ruled in your house-hold, and bring in mirth and good cheer.Invent occupations for your sons. Stim-ulate their ambitions in worthy direct-ions. While you make home their de-light, fill them with higher purposes thanmere pleasure. Whether they shall passhappy boyhoods, and enter upon man-hood with refined tastes and noble ambi-tions, depends upon you. Do not blamemiserable bar-keepers if your sons mis-carry. Believe it possible that, with ex-ertion and right means, a mother mayhave more control over the destiny of herboys than any other influence whatsoev-er.

The influence of the wife is alwaysabridged by the facts of the early train-ing of her husband. He comes to her aman with his habits formed. A womanshould be sure not to marry a man withdepraved tastes: and, with good inclina-tions and correct habits at the beginningof married life, a wife must have a veryweak hold upon her husband if she sufferhim to slip away into dissipation. Inthese cases, we can suspect either cooledaffection, bad temper, dreary companion-ship, or something in the administrationof the domestic life whereby the man cea-ses to find pleasure in his home.

It will bo asked if men, too, are not re-sponsible for the felicities of home. As-suredly. They must bring to it generousspirit, affectionate regard; kindly temper,sympathetic appreciation. But, in alarge majority of instances, the torpor ofthe wife: her pinched economies; herfondness for negative life, rest and quiet:her distaste for all topics outside of do-mestic ones ; her inability to feel interestin the doings of the world ; her generallack of intellectual activity—she may beas intellectual, strictly speaking, as her

'husband, but sho will be interested in amuch narrower range of subjects—it isthese things that give to the average fam-ily circle its deadness and dullness. Wo-men are content with a calm, colorlesslife, vvhilo men want stimulating society,'and, unless, women can comprehend thismasculine need, they will fail.to exercisethat influence which, rightfully under-stood, might be made supremo.-

So we say to these crusading women:Return to your homes! Scorn the thoughtthat you cannot make your householdsmore delightful than bar-rooms. Banishyour narrow asceticism, • Make your reli-gion a source of cheerfulness, and not ofgloom. Convert your houses into tem-ples of innocent pleasure Be bright andstimulating companions for your husbands and sons. Understand at oncethat badly-kept homos have driven moremen into irregularities than anythingelse,—and upou you mainly rests the re-sponsibility for the evils thus arising.

We are not asserting that intemperancewould cud with the change in the policyof women that we have proposed. Intem-perance often comes of causes too subtlefor human analysis. Bat it is assert-ed that intemperance is promoted bydram-shops; and it is this influence, thiscause of intemperance, that women areentirely competent to remove, by seeingthat the hearthstone sViall be more seduc-tive than the ale-house.

Tempernirce and the Pope.Pius IX. has sent the following on the

subject of temperance, to tha CatholicUnion Temperance Societies in Massachu-setts, in answer to an address they direct-ed to him:Beloved Children.

er their sons should idle the day at thepostoffice, tho village store, or the ale-house, than let the sunbeams enter theirparlors and fade the carpets ! They wouldrather theii sons aud husbands should atnight enjoy the good cheer of tho public-house, than light an extra Candle, build aglowing fire, orpermit social hilarity with-in the awful shadows of their shut-upapartments. In these homes the wholeart is the art of not to live. To keep allthings neat, aud orderly, and circumspect;to present no flaw for the edification ofMrs. Grundy; to suppress all impulses,all tastes, all pleasures, all heartiness, alllife,—theso tilings seem to be the groatpurpose of the ascetic women who con-trol them. It is no wonder that men es-cape from them, and prefer even thecoarse amusements of the public house;for to lice is the necessity of tho mascu-line nature, and any form of life is bet-ter than apathy and chill.

The slovenly homo is no less potent indriving men into evil than the apathetichome,— an experience common among thelower classes, where.the squalor and dis-order of the small apartments renderhome about tho last place in the worldthe man can tolerate.

Women who have sons to rear, anddread tho demoralizing influences of badassociates, ought to understand the na-ture of young manhood. It is excessivelyrestless. It is disturbed by vague ambi-tions, by thirst for action, by longings forexcitement, by irrepressiblo desires totouch life in manifold ways. If you, mo-thers, »ear your sons so that their homes

We havo heard, beloved children, withgreat joy, not only that ycur State Un-ion had mei in convention, but that yoursister Unions had taken oounsol togetheras to the most effectual means of prevent-ing the ovila that flow from intemperance.Drunkenness, it is certain, fosters andstimulates every species of strife aud wick-edness, as the inspired word teaches.—" Wine is a luxurious thing and drunken-ness riotous." Wherefore St. Augustinewrites, " Drunkenness is the mother ofcrime, the root of vice, tho wreck of chas-tity, the spring of evil, the overthrow ofreason, the ruin of the body and a loath-some disease of the soul."

By drunkenness, therefore, morality isvitiated; a neglect and contempt of Divine things, is gradually superinduced,and when theso pillars of social order areshaken public tranquillity is jeopardized,the family is reduced to want and itsmembers toi'n asunder; at last health it-self gives way, for he who loves wine andfeasting will be poor, and they who ffke them-selves to drinking will be consumed.

In your zeal, consequently, to abolishtho disreputable and promiscuous customyou not only struggle against one vicebut, in your efforts to stem tho number-less evils flowing from this source, you al- (so advance the interests of your religion,promote the welfare of your fellow man,and the prosperity of your country. Andshould you, with God's grace, prosecutethe movement to success you will calldown manifold blessings on your ownpeople. For the same St. Augustine ob-serves, " Sobriety is the mother of all vir-tues. * * * It puts to flight sin andcrime, shuns the danger, is faithful to du-ty, and rules over the home and the fami-ly with care and moderation.

We exhort you, therefore, for the truewelfare of yjur country, to rigorouslyurge onward the Total Abstinenco move-ment under tho guidance of the Church.Thus will you, beyond all contradiction,deserve well of God, of the Church, andof your follow men. We most cordiallywish you tho largest rupasuro of successand the happiest results to y5ur labors,and in token thereof, and as a pledge ofour paternal tenderness, we most loving-ly impart to you, beloved children, andall those who will engage iu the samework with you, the Apostolic Benedic-tion.

SocialThere aro some details of social usage

that are so childish, and.'withal, so incon-venient and burdensome, as to demand apublic denunciation. Nobodylikes them,everybody desires to bo relieved of them.Their burdensomeuess forms a serious barto social intercourse, and their only ten-dency is to drive some men and womenout of society altogether, and to worryand weary those who remain subject tothem.

A person is invited to an " informal "reception. Special pains may be, and often are, taken to impress him with theidea that such a reception is, indeed. " in-formal." The idoa is very good. Thoproposition is to bring together a circleof friends in a familiar way, without ex-pensive dress on the part of tho guests,or an expensive entertainment on the partof the hostess. It is an attractive sort ofinvitation, but woo to the man or womanwho accepts it according to its terms.—Tho man aud the woman who attend inanything but full evening dress will findthemselves singular, and most uncomfor-table. They have taken their hostess ather word, and find, instead of a party offamiliar friends, who can sit down andenjoy an hour of social intercourse, a high-ly dressed "jam," which comes late auddeparts late, and which finds itself treatedto an elaborate supper. Peoplohavo.atlast,learned that if there is anything thatmust be dressed for elaborately, it is an"informal reception," and that thero isreally no greater cheat than the invitationwhich called them together. The conse-quence is that wo have no really informalgatherings of men and womon in whatwe call " society."

Again, when we invite a guest to diu-uoi at six, we expect him to como at, orbefore, that hour. It is counted 'theheight of impoliteness for a guest to keepa dinner waiting a moment. This is justas it should bo; but when we invite aguest at eight o'clock, to a reception or aparty, what then V Why, we do not ex-peot him until nine, wo do not ordinarilyget him until half-past nine, and are notsurprised at his entrance at any subse-quent hour before the company breaksup. Why the rule should be good for thedinner that is not good for tho assemblydoes not appear, except that in the caseof the dinner it is a question of hot orcold soup that is to be decided. At eightthe host and hostess are in their vacantrooms, be-gloved and waiting. They arethere for an hour, wishing their guestswould come. At last ono makes his ap-pearance, and with a guilty look whipsup stairs. Then he waits until anotherjoins him, and another, and another, andso at last he descends. All have lost theonly opportunity they will havo for apleasant chat with those who havo invit-ed them—lost, indeed, tho only chancethey will have of a look at the flowers, attho pictures, and the enjoyment of an un-disturbed chat, with comfortablo-seats andsurroundings. All dread to be first, andso all wait, and thus thrust far into thenight their hour of departure. The com-pany that should be at home at eleven,and in bed at half-past eleven, do not findtheir beds until one the next morning.

To the man of business such hours asmingling in social life imposes are simplykilling. They are the same to womenwho have family duties to perform. Theywipe the bloom of youth from the cheeksof girls in from one to three seasons ; andthus sooial life in the great cities, insteadof being a blessing and a delight, as itshould be, becomes a burden and a bore.Many are driven by considerations ofhealth and comfort out of social lifo alto-gether, and those who remain rely uponthe rest of summer to restore them suf-ficiently to stand another campaign. Wesubmit that this is an unexaggerated rep-resentation of the present state of things,and protest that it demands reform.

Every hour that a man spends out ofhis bed after half-past ten at night is aviolence to nature. They have learnedthis in Germany, where, in many towns,their public amusements terminate athalf-past nine, and, in some cases, evenearlier than this. I t is in this directionthat a reform should be effected in Amer-ica, so far as every variety of public andsocial assembly is concerned. An invita-tion at eight should mean what it says,and be honored iu its terms. In this waysocial life wpuld bo possible to many towhom it is now, practically denied, andbeconio a blessing to all.

I t is not hard to institute a reform ofthis kind. All it wants is a leading ; and

A Woman on Woman's Dress.Dr. Caroline E. Hastings, a fomalo phy-

j sieian, recently lectured in Boston, on| dreus reform. In conducing hr-v rulrtressshe said :

There if. a mural side to this question otdress, which I do not propose to discuss atany great length, but only to throw outthe question and leave it for honest, con-scientious minds to ponder and decide.Is it right for us to jiuy so much worshipto dress J Is it right to make.it the crite-rion of respect and favor in tho horse car,in the church, and at the party 'i So longas richly-dressed women take precedenceeverywhere because they aro richly dress-ed, so long tho tempter finds it easier tosecure his victim. Human nature is thesame in all. Love of attention is as strongand legitimate in the girl who is obligedto earn her daily bread as in the girlwhose father pays the bills. Wo all knowthe low wages paid to the girls who waitupon us at the many storos throughoutthe city. They scarcely pay for her roomand the food she must cat. What, then,of clothes to wear? Oh, shame, shame,to some men in this city, who, when thoinnocent girl pleads that the low price of-fered will scarcely pay for her living ex-penses, and wherewithal shall she beclothed; shame, yes, and God's wrath up-on the man who answers, " Oh, you canfind some friend who will give you thesefor your company." I atn not imagininga case now, but telling you a fact. Thentho struggle grows hard, tho desire fordress for the sake of the attention, not tosay common civility, which is always giv-en to dross, becomes stronger, and thetempter, ever ready and. watching, at-tacks the poor girl at her weakest point,and too often tho temptation 13 strongerthan she is able to bear. Now, who is.toblame f The girl, certainly ; but aro notwe, who allow so much to depend upondress, somewhat, yes, greatly responsiblefor the snare which has caught her youngfeet 'i Can we not help her by adoptinga style of dress that shall not put such adifference between the appearance of thetwo? But I don't want to, says ono Doyou think I want to dress like a shop-girl?No, I suppose not; you need not; butthero is in the future of us all a day whenall these outward scornings must be laidaside, and we must give an account untoHim who has said, " Whoso causeth oneof these to offend, it were better that amill-stone were hanged about his neckand he be cast into tho sea;" and again,"inasmuch as ye did it unto one of theleast of these, ye did it unto me"

Striking with the Wrong Hand.The Hartford daily Times tells tho fol-

lowing : A couple of citizens met atGeer & Pond's store yesterday, and, whilewaiting for the New York papers to ar-rive, one of them, who had a soar on thomiddle joint of the fingers on his lefthand, was telling how the scar happenedthere. Some twelve or fifteen years ago,at the time Jack Nelson had a gymna-sium and gave lessons in boxing in Ely'sblock, on Main street, a friend of the manwith the scarred hand, by the name ofBilly M having joined Nelson's box-iug class, wanted to find some one whomhe could practice with. He went to hisfriend J., him of the scarred hand, andproposed to give him lessons. Billy arg-ued that he could impart the instructionsto his friend free gratis, besides having anopportunity to improve in skill. So assoon as he got his first lesson ho hurriedaway to show J. Ho got J. up in frontof him, and gave him some advice, placedhimself in an attitude of defense and saidto J :

" Now strike at my head with all yourmight."

"But," protested J.' "we have nogloves, and I should be sure to hurt you."

"I'll risk it," laughingly replied Billy.'• Nelson has already taught me how toparry. Strike out hard, and I'll showyou.'1

J. hesitated. It didn't appear to his un-sophisticated mind that he c6uld strike ata man with all his might without hittinghim and hurting him. Besides, he had aduo regard for his own safety. Billymight, in the enthusiasm of a handsomeparry, counter on his (J-'s) prominentproboscis. His fears were dispelled by apromise from Billy that he would actwholly on the defensive, and by furtherassurances that it was absolutely impossi-ble for an inexperienced person like J. to

half a dozen of our social queens could dothe work in a single season. I t used tobe deemed essential to a social assemblythat a huge, expensive supper be servedat its close and this at an hour when noman or woman could afford to eat a hear-ty meal. Wo have measurably outlivedthis in New York. I t is "quite thething" now to serve light and inexpen-sive refreshments. The man who dinesat six needs no heavy supper before hegoes to bed. Ho not only does not needit, but he cannot eat it without harm.Its expensiveness is a constant bar to so-cial life; and let us be thankful that thisabuse, at least, is pretty well reformed already. Other abuses and bad habits canbe reformed just as easily as this, becausereform is in the line of the common senseand the common desire. The leading, aswe havo said, is all that is wanted, andwhen wo commence another season suchleading ought to bo volunteered. Someth-ing surely ought to bo done to make sociallife a recreativo pleasure, and not a severetax upon the vital forces as it is at pres-M\t.—Dr. J. G. Holland, Scribner's foripril

Staying Away From Church iu Berlin.Correspondence of the New York Herald.

I t would be interesting to inquire intothe precise number of Christians who at-tend the 60 churches of Berlin, consid-ering that this imperial city is the head-quarters of tho Protestant army nowmustered for the final overthrow of thoRoman Catholic faith. The famous En-glish clergyman, Rowland Hill, oncetold » story in the pulpit of how he hadmet a man in an ale-house who declaim-ed furiously against the Bible. RowlandHill asked him if he had over read theBible,, and the man in the ale-house saidhe had not for he did believe in it. ABerlin professor of European reputationtold me frankly that no educated Gorman was a believer in revealed religion.Only some uneducated persons are be-lievers of a most' energetic sort.

I have been given to understand, upongood authority, that there are not 20,000regular worshippers in the 60 churchesof Berlin ; and perhaps if they are wor-shippers of the description above men-tioned, they are not much edified by theirdevotions. There are now, however, near-ly 1,000,000 inhabitants iu the Prussiancapital, and though tho house of God isempty, the house of Baal is full, and nocity has more drink shops of a disrepu-table kind. It is utterly ridiculous totalk of Church and State in Berlin, forit is all State and no Church there. Afew persons of tho upper 10,000, a few oftho better class of tradesmen go tochurch; nobody else goes, because thechurch is not in fashion under militarygovernment. Therefore, all the social re-lations of life aro changed. Women, forinstance, at Berlin, do not marry becausethey love a man : they merely lovo himbecause they have married him, and theyare not bound to obey tho soldier law ordiscipline.

AN INGENIOUS PRAYER.—The celebra-ted Dominican friar Rocco is said to haveonce been preaching in tho market-placeat Naples. " This day," said he, " I willsee if you truly repent your sins."Thereupon he commenced a penitentialdiscourso that made tho hair of tho hard-hearted multitudo stand upright; andwhen they were all on their knees,

gnashing their teeth, beating their breastsand putting on all imaginable signs ofcontrition, he suddenly cried, " Now, youwho truly repont of your sins hold upyour hands." .Thero was not one pres-ent who did not immediately stretch out.his arms. "Holy Archangel Michael,"then exclaimed Rocco, " Thou who withthy adamantine sword standest by thojudgment-seat of God, hew off everyhand that has been raised hypocritically."Instantly every hand dropped, and Roccopoured forth a fresh invective against thosinfulness anil perversity of his audience.

1 X1LATI0N has tUally been dotermiuedupon by the Houso, ft bill having pasaodthat body on Monday, by a voto of 168 to77, fixing the issue of greenbacks orlegal tenders at 1400,000,000 instead of$356,000,000. The bill very considerate-ly declares that tho issue " shall never ex-ceed $100,000,000," a declaration worth-less as the paper on which it is printed,if we are to judge by the way former Con-gressional pledges have been kept,another panic come, and a Secretary ofthe Treasury, who knows no law, inorthe issue beyond that limit and a pliantand crazy Congress will be glad to ratifyhis action. That this inflation is whollyunnecessary is proved by the fact that thebanks, both at the East and in the Westhave more money than they can useTheir vaults have never been so full, andthe complaint is that there are norowers, or at least no borrowers whogive the required security. And it is thislatter class who demand inflation, menwho aro floating doubtful schemes,hope to got hold of money by settingragmills at work. It ib not inflation thais wanted, but stability ; not more legfttenders but legal tendors which are noa sham and a fraud, which are not menpromises to pay, but representatives of real money and convertible into real moneyat pleasure ; and real monpy is gold amsilver.

DEMOCRATS and " Ket'ormers" hav.joined in denouncing corruption in higlplaces, and even indiscreet and courageous Republicans, having spasms of honesty, have rebuked the sins of tho Administrution,—executive and legislative. Buno more significant words have been uttered, no more scathing indictment,framed, than are found in the followingsentences extracted from the messagisent by Gov. WASHBUUN to tho Massachusetts Legislature, announcing thideath of Senator SUMXER . Of Mr. SUMNEB (iov. WASHBURN wrote : " His aims" were high, his purposes were pure. His" voice was that of an honest man, his en"deavors were those of an upright states" man. His moral integrity stands out i"sublime figure in these later years.—" While the atmosphere aiound him wai" foul with corruptions no stain of suspi" cion ever fell upon him. However oth"public servants prostituted their pooi" tions for selfish ends, we all felt sun"that CHARLES SUMNEK. would not b<" smirched by any disclosures or investi" {rations. This single fact alone ii" enough to crown him with glory." Thiplace of which Gov. WASHBURN wrote iWashington, the " atmosphere foul withcorruption" was the atmosphere of theSenate Chamber, a chamber in which Republican leaders have it all their ownway. And in such a Senate to be honesis to entitle a Senator to be " ciowno(with glory." Is other evidence necessaryto convince a long suffering public thatho money changers should be drivenfrom the temple, tho Augean stable cleaned ?

A REMARKABLE document was sent into the House just before the adjournmenof the recent extra session of the Legislature. It was a communication fromState Treasurer COLLIER, and. by courtesy called an answer to a resolution of inquiry. The document or communicationwe said is remarkable, remarkable, however, for what it. omits and refuses to sayThe Treasurer was asked in what bankthe surplus State funds were depositedthe amount of securities given by suchbanks, with the names of the bondsmenAnd the people are just as wise as beforthe questions were asked. Mr. Treasureassumes that the bondsmen are good antthe State secure ; but declines to give thnames of either banks or bondsmen. Hthinks that no public good would be subserved by naming the banks holding tipeople's money in their vaults, and thbondsmen might or would be injured iifinancial circles, by having the amount otheir liabilities as such bondsmen exposecThe plain English of this is that " theris something rotten in Denmark." Thpublic have a right to know the names othe State Treasurer's bondsmen, so that imay judge for itself of its security ; it haalso a right to know in what banks anin what sums it moneys—large balancewhich ought to be in tho people's ownpockets—are kept, and the State Treasurer's excuse for not letting the public knowthese things is too shallow to hold waterfle has a reason for withholding such information other than tho one stated.—What is it?

IN OCTOBER, 1871, Gen. BUTLER wrota long letter to Senator (now Vice-Vresident) WILSON, in answor to a " friendl;note," which has just appeared in prinilosing nothing of sharpness or tartness byage. He thanks the Senator for his goodadvice to " a weak, young, and risingman," tor the reasons : " No man haknown how to make so little go so far inpolitics as yourself. No man who had s<little to manage, I agree, could have donebetter than you." Aud again: " Buone has to till a potato patch and a prairie on euch different principles that thehusbandry of one scarcely fits the otherThat is, your little brain needs altogetherdifforent treatment from mine, and I can-not follow tho same road to popularityor in his own words : " I cannot join aa church to get the votes of the religiouspeople. I cannot profess temperance toget the support of temperance men. Iwould not join a Know-Nothing lodgeand take an oath to persecute foreignersto be elected United States Senator, how-ever exalted that elevation might seem tome. I cannot be ' all things to all mento gain some.' " Aud to conclude BUT-LER says : " There nover can be but oneHENRY WILSON."

Lucius B. KENDALL has boon appoint-ed Postmaster at Kalauiazoo, to succeedDr. J. A. B. STONE, whose term of officeis about to expire. And so one after an-other official head rolls under the tablo.Well, " every dog has his day" may aswell have a political signification as anyother. ^ ^

THE Legislature completed its Consti-;utiou tinkering and adjourned on Satur-

day. We do not think that it has im-proved .either the draft of the Commissionor the chance of its adoption by tho peo-ple. We shall discuss the document here-fter.

Resignation of Dr. Sager.We extract the following from the proceeding

if the Board of Kegents of the University at therj held on Monday evening:

County is represented in theupper branoh of the Legislature by a verywindy if not a very wise Senator ; a manof infinite egotism if not prolific in solidideas; a man capable of running a firedepartment, a police force, a regiment (?'n University or a Cabinet: and his nameit is DELAKD. In the Senate, on Tuesdaylast, this "jack at all trades," the questionbeing prohibiting Regents from holdingseats in the Legislature, said : " The Ke-gents had constantly of late years .placecthemselves in direct antagonism to thlaw-making power, They had put theState paper as near suspension as possibleduring the panic last fall." What awfucriminality on the part of tho Regents—if true. But what awful thing have theRegents done to warrant this Senator inmaking such a charge ? Why, the Treasurer of the University, in the regulaf dis-charge of his official duty, presenteddraft of the State Treasurer on a Detroidopository bank, the moneys called forbeing due from the State to the Universi-ty,' and from the University to professorsmechanics, laborers, etc., and said draftwas refused payment and allowed by thebank to go to protest. And at the samehour the same bank held nearly or overone-half million dollars of State funds sub-ject to draft. It was an ordinary and ne-cessary business transaction on the par'of tho financial officer of the Universitythe Regents were not in session, had noknowledge of it, and oould not possiblyhave had any part in putting the Statecredit in jeopardy. We had supposocthat when a bank refused to pay paperdrawn against actual deposits it Was thecredit of the bank which suffered or oughtto suffer and not that of the maker oithe paper.

No CITY CONVENTION or ward cau-cuses have yet been called by eithor par-ty, but it is not premature or out of placeto urgo our oitizens, with whatever partyaffiliating, to see to it that fit and compe-tent men are nominated for every office,from Mayor to Constable. Especiallywould we 8ay,'that no man who is habit-ually a law-breaker—we care not. whatthe law is or how much he may disap-prove it—should be placed in office to ob-struct its execution. Men iworn to executethe laws—STATE OR LOCAL—thoukl tliem-selves yield cheerful obedience to them. Thisis tho spirit if not the letter of the stat-ute, the spirit if not the letter of the offi-cial oath.

And furthor, it is not safe to confer of-ficial position—legislative, executive, or judi-cial—upon any man who is such a slaveto his appetites as to become occasional-ly or ever intoxicated, or even upon onewhose brain is muddled and disturbedby the habitual use of intoxicating bev-erageB. Sober and clear headed men—and none other—should be placed in office.These rules apply equally to town, oity,county and State officials, and when rec-ognized and observed by political partiesthere will be no occasion for, and neod beno fear of, new political organizationswith but a single plank.

The State Treasury.Before tha adjournment of the Legisla-

;ure a communication was received from.he State Treasurer in reply to the reso-ution ot tlio Houso asking the names ofihe banks which have Nut.* money ondeposit, and tho amount of Mcnfitjr KIV~on and nanum of tho bondsmen. Tl.nCrousuior said:

'While tho publication of tha inform-ation sought could not effect this office orme personally, it might, for reasons that

ro apparent to every businoss man, beproductive of groat personal injury to in-dividuals. In ovory cuso tho security isat leiist four times, and in some cases 20

u'M, the amount of nionoy deposited,and the obligations are of the strongestnaturo, holding each bondsman individu-ally for the entiro amount. But to re-voal their names might injure their gen-eral credit, and injure, with it, the socuri-ty of the State, while it is not apparenttiow the public interest oould be inany way promoted by such publicity, anymore than the welfare of a business com-munity could be promoted by publishingthe names of every indorsor and thoamount for which ho was liublo on notesgiven to a bank."

The Treasurer states that he has no de-sire to withhold any information in rela-tion to the business of his offico, and asksthat a committee of tho Houso bo appoint-ed to look into its affairs. Ho refers totho fact that moneys only come into thetreasury in accordance with acts passedby tho Legislature, and continues :

" During my three year's service asTreasurer I have purchased $140,000 ofState bonds not yet due, being $180,000more than have been purchased of thisclass of bonds in any previous four years.I have also paid $313,000 of bonds at ma-turity and $7,157 14 of past due bonds.—More unmatured bonds would have boonpurchased but for the legal restriction onthe Treasurer that he shall not pay aprice above par and accrued interest forsuoh bonds. A large balance is necessaryto purchase boudB in lots of $133,000 aud$9b',000, as I have dono. Great labor,watchfulness, and perseverance have beenrequired to find these bonds in the handsof parties willing to sell at par, and iuthis work I have been constantly andmaterially aided by Gov. Bagley.

" With money plenty in New York oncall at one per cent., and large sums of-fered at two per cent, without borrowersfas stated by the W all Street Journal ofMarch 14), j.t is plain that the difficultyof taking up Michigan 6's and 7's is great-ly enhanced, while tho further difficultyof obtaining more than four per cent, forfunds of the State loaned on call in per-fectly secure hands is also enhanced.

" The specific taxes of the State aro be-coming more and more productive andthe Legislature is devising now sourcesfor specifio taxes, which rapidly increasethe revenue. Our people have paid theirtaxes more promptly than ever before.—No State in the West collects its taxeswith so little loss. While othe» Statesare renewing their old bonds or negotia-ting new ones, and some of them cannolsell thoir bonds at half their faoe valueMichigan stands ready to-day to redeem$500,000 of hor debt not yet due, if sheoould only find men who would accepipar and acorued interest for her obliga-tions."

The Treasurer states that, contrary tothe old practices, the appropriations toinstitutions receiving money from thetreasury for new buildings or running ex-penses are not now paid over to the offi-cers of such institutions in a lump, buare kept in the State treasury and paicout in amounts as wanted, on voucher;through the Auditor General's office.—The money thus remains where it wilbring money to the people, instead of being scattered all over the State and in thihands of parties who give no bonds. Thiiexplains a portion of the balance remain-ing in the treasury. He alao states thamany of the taxes are now paid sixmonths before tho money is needed. Althese things combine to create large balancos at certain periods. The remedifor this, if the balances aro considered totlarge, is to be found in some change olegislation.

The Treasurer gives a list of appropriations already made, due previous tojjanuary 1, 1876, amounting to $790,521 12.—Added to these appropriations duo May 1of nearly $100,000, making a total of $1,367,521 12. There are additional liabilities amounting to $490,335 64.

The Treasurer further alludes to thifact that appropriations, as soon as madebecome a debt due against the State, ancthat provisions must be made for meetingsuch demands. He oloses with renewinghis assurance of the utmost readiness t(offer to any committee of the House oRepresentatives, or any joint committeethe fullest opportunity for investigationof any matter whatsoovor pertaining totho department.

A Startling Doctrine.The novel and startling doctrine lait

down by the State Treasurer is one whichthe people of this State would do well toponder thoroughly before they accept itor indorse that official in enunciating itBriefly stated that doctrine is that oncethe tax-payer's money passes into thitreasury it is no longer his business whubecomes of it. The Treasurer may noionly do what he pleases with it, but homay do so without putting himself tinderany obligation to tell what he has beenpleased to do, The people must be satis-fied with such statement as he sees fit tomake, and not oven their Representativesiu the Legislature assembled may ask formore. His accounts the tax-payers mayexamine and his book-keeping they maycriticise to their heart's content; bu1whether the money which, aooordiug tothose accounts, should be in the treasury,is actually there, or where it is, does notconcern them iu the least.

Such a doctrine would be vicious en-ough if the surplus in the treasury weremerely nominal, though in that case thopeoplo would hardly be justified in feel-ing any serious uneasiness about the mat-ter. But with a surplus of more than amillion of dollars in tho treasury the mat-ter becomes of tho gravest importance.—There may have been heretofore no causeto suspect anything wrong with the fundsof the State ; but when the legal custodi-an of those funds takes such manifestpains to intimate that there is somethingto conceal, it oannot be wondered at iitho people suspect the worst. Were thecashier of any businoss man or privatecorporation to make suoh a response tohis omployor's request for information aswas made by tho State Treasurer to hisemployers, the cashier would not only besuspeoted, but discharged. Is it the factthat he cannot bo summarily dischargedwhich encourages tho Sta.te Treasurer totake the position ho doos V—Free lxres».

The Local Temperance Movement.At a large meeting of the ladies of the city

held on Thursday afternoon of last week, in thelecture room of the Presbyterian Church, a La-dies' Temperance Union was organized, with thefollowing officers:

President— Mrs. Seth Reed.Vice-President—Mrs. D. S. Wood.Recording Secretary—Mrs. J. M. Chase.Corresponding Secretary—Mrs. J. Austin Scott.Treasurer—Mrs. Prof. TenBrook.The following is the platform of the Union,

and which a committee was appointed to circu-late, with the aim to get not only the signaturebut the hearty indorsement and co-operation ofevery lady in the city:

" We, the undersigned, ladies'of Ann Arbor,feeling deeply the fearful evils resulting from thetraffic and use of intoxicating drinks, do herebypledge ourselves to exert our influence and uniteour prayers for discontinuing their use and forsuppressing their sale as a beverage."

At a meeting of the Union held on Tuesdayafternoon the members of the canvassing com-mittee reported encouraging progress in procur-ing signatures to the above pledge.

— A meeting of the committee of gentlemen,appointed at a public meeting as noticed hereto-fore, was also held on Thursday afternoon lastweek, at which, after lull discussion, the follow-ing resolutions were adopted:

W'HKEEAS, It is svident that the time has comefor united, earnest, and persistent work in be-half of temperance in Ann Arbor; therefore.

Resolved, first—That the city be thoroughlycanvassed for the purpose of uniting public sen-timent on this subject.

Second—That we recommend the formation ofa party previous to our coming election, the fun-damental principles of which shall be the faith-ful execution of our temperance laws.

Third—That we favor a firm remonstrancewith all liquor-sellers and the use of all expedi-ent means to induce them to discontinue theirbusiness.

Fourth—That we pledge ourselves to co-ope-rate with the ladies whenever they organize andannounce their principles.

Fifth—That we are satisfied that it is the dutyof every man to sink differences and sacrifice pri-vate prejudices, in order to secure unity andearnestness in a determined effort to free ourcity from this curse.

A resolution was also adopted authorizing thethe chairman of the committee " to appoint aspecial committee of five to call a mass meet-ing for Wednesday night, and take politic mea-sures to form a temperance party." Messrs. J. Aus-tin Scott, J. Q. A. Sessions, A. McReynolds, N.Chapin, and D. S. Wood, were also appointedto report plan of organization for a generalTemperance Union, with officers.

The ladies were also requested to circulate apaper in connection with their own work, ask-ing the electors of the city to pledge themselvesto give preference and votes to temperance can-didates in all municipal elections. The ladiesacceded to the request, but after commencingwork wisely reconsidered such action and con-cluded that the gentlemen who were so willingto " back them " ought to do some work them-selves, and that the pledge in question camemore in their line.

t A OBNKBAI. ORGANIZATION.

Pursuant to call, a mas meeting was held atthe Presbyterian Church on Wednesday even-ing, to perfect a general temperance organiza-tion. Rev. S. Reed presided. Mr. Session^from the committee named above, reported aconstitution and by-laws for the "Ann ArborTemperance Union," as follows:

We desire to call the attention of the severalaldermen constituting the Ward Boards of Reg-istration to the f act.that there is need of a carefuland thorough revision of the Ward registrylists, with a view 6f checking off the severalhundred names of dead and removed electorswhich now lumber up the lists. As printed andposted the lists show voters in the several wardsas follows: First, 470; Second, 297; Third, 476;Fourth, 354; Fifth, 176; Sixth, 206; total, 1,979,or full 400 more names than there are voters inthe city. Some names are on two, three or fourlists; some lists include the names of persons re-moved from the city years ago, and also thenames of persons who have been dead a consid-erable length of time. If the aldermen willcome together before the day for registration andcompare lists they will be able to make a generalslaughter and save canvassers hunting up (per-manent) absentees or dead electors on electionday. Such incorrect and lumbered up lists offera premium to illegal voting : that is if we haveany politicians of the Philadelphia school, adepts

in personating, or in voting on the names of otherpeople.

The County Superintendent of Schools has1 given notice that the Spring series of Teachers'Examinations will be held as follows: At AnnArbor, in*Court House, to-morrow, March 28; atDexter, Saturday, April 4th; at Manchester,Wednesday, April 8th; at Saline, Friday, April10th; at Ypsilanti, Thursday, April 16.

Examinations will also be held at theoffice of the Superintendent, in the Court Housein this city, on the second and fourth Saturday'sof each month until June 1st.

The Superintendent says: " School officerswill please remember that a teacher has not a le-gal right to commence a school without a license;and hereafter those who commence school with-out a certificate will be regarded as having for-feited their right to an examination."

Taxation ofllH- Liquor ^

It ia difficult to see lor what reason l!ieLegislature hositates so much over thosootion proposed by tbo ConstitutionalCommission tor tho restriction and taxa-tion of the liquor traffic. There may besome question as to the advisability of in-corporating' the section in the main bodyof tho Constitution, but uny argumentsdirected against tho propriety or policyof such action possess no force when ap-plied to separate submission. Let us sup-pose, for the sake of illustration, that thesentiment of a majority of the people ofthe State is averso to any recognition oftho liquor traffic in tho Constitution savoiu the section which prohibits tho enact-ment of a license law. In that case thesection for the restriction and taxation ofthe traffic can and will bo voted down,:ind the effect of the submission will boto strengthen tho hands of those who are,U thty suy, opposed to all compromisewith tho evil. If, on tho other hand, thesection is submitted and adopted it willshow conclusively that a majority of thepeople are in favor of tho taxation of thotraffic, whether they are in favor of itslegalization or not. In neither case couldany harm result from the submission ofthe section. Tho subject involved is animportant one, and one on which it is'particularly desirable there should be atree and full expression of the p"pulnr

will.If it were proposed to substitute the re-

strictive section for the present prohibi-tory one, it would not be hard toeuumer-;vto sorno strong reasons for the change.—Chief among them is tho fact that thoughfor nearly a quarter of a century a pro-hibitory clause has had a place in theConstitution, it has practically been anullity. Iu somo localities at certain iu-torvals the sale of liquor has boon sup-pressed, but, take tho whole State through,it cannot be denied that prohibition intho Constitution has failed to achieve anyresults, or that under it the traffic in in-toxicating drinks has either been sup-pressed or diminished. The teachings ofthis experience ought to bo sufficient toconvince the most uncompromising ad-vocates of prohibition that something dif-ferent or additional is needed. This ap-pears to be afforded by the restrictivesection. Under it the liquor traffic canbe taxed out of existence in any localitywhenever the prohibitionists have a ma-iority in the Legislature and are suffic-iintly sustained by public opinion to war-rant them in imposing an excessive tix.Then, too, with tho rate of annual taxa-tion proposed in tho section as it standsat present, each locality and the State atlarge could derive great benefit. In thoCity of Detroit alone thorc uro eight hun-dred bars for tho ictail of spirituous liquorp,and an annual tax of |200 on each ofthese would bring in $ 160,000 yearly.—The section provides that tho tax " shallbo paid into tho treasury of the propertownship, city or village, and bo appliedby the proper authorities to the supportof the poor therein, so far as may be neces-sary, and the residue appropriated as thoLegislature shall provide." The sumnamed is six times as large as the amountannually expended by the City of Detroitfor tho relief of its poor, and after theywero provided for out of it, there wouldbe a largo balance remaining which couldbe devoted for purposes of the highestbeneficence. This would be the case ifonly one-half of tho saloons in the citypaid their tax. Why this large sum ofmoney should be thrown away for a merewhim or caprice is utterly inconceivable.The national government has no scruplesat deriving millions of revenue annuallyfrom tho tax of spirituous and fprinentedliquors. Without this tax heavier bur-dens would be laid . upon the people inother directions. Tn thiB State there is alarge liquor traffic. It goes on uninter-ruptedly in spite of prohibitory enact-ments. By a judicious system of taxationit could be regulated, and a largo enougnfund raised every year to mitigate manyof the results flowing from it—resultswhich an unenforced prohibitory lawdoos nothing to prevent. Wo will havethese results in greater or less degreewhether we have a prohibitory law, alicense law, or a system of restriction.—Thoy flow from and are dependent in agreat measuro upon the state of society,and until the time comes when the liquortraffic goes down before public sentiment

which can bo educated and olevatedjust as readily no matter what the law ofthe State—these results- will continue tobe manifested. Why not accept things asthey are, and at ouco make the most nndhc»t of them ?—Frze'Prm.

Ken.From the Xcw York Mail.

Duriug the war a colonel of one of thoXortbwe&tern regiments picked up inMissouri a body servant, who was proba-bly one of the ugliest looking specimens of" God's image carved in ebony" whoever stole a chicken. His faco utterly de-tied the skill of the physiognomist.—IWhether he was utterly uncorscious ofwhat was going on around him, or listen-ing attentively to every word of conver-sation, no one could tell. Sometimes hegave the impression that lie was a hard-working, faithful, joyless creature, whohad been crully treated by fate, but hadmade up his mind to take abuse, kicksand hard knocks without flinching. Butthe longer ho was known tho more of amystery ho became. His master onlyknew that somehow his mess was bettersupplied than ever beforo, and that luxu-ries of various sorts began to make theirappearance at his table, under the super-vision of a new servant. Pretty Boon thoneighboring " messes'" discovered thattheir choicest camp luxuries would occas-ionally disappear, aud it was observedthat the colonel's servant was rarely seenaround their tents but that soon after-wards somo article was missing. Still,there was no definite proof of connectionbetween tho two facts. Tho colonel's ser-vant was as glum and ugly and myste-rious as over, and the colonel had no rea-son to complain of so efficient a caterer.

Finally, two officers, who were especialfriends of tho colonel, began to suspecthis servant and came over to see about it.They had no pro«f, but thought theywould put the colonel on his guard. Be-fore they had gono further than to saythat they had missed soveral articles late-ly, and that there must be a thief in thecamp, the colonel's mysterious darkey setup a most tremendous hullabaloo and hisfurrowed and inscrutable faco was delug-ed with a flood of tears that would havedelighted Job Trotter. As soon as hocould get through his first outburst ofconvulsive sobbing and plaintive howlslie went on to complain about tho crueltyof his situation—he, tho most industriousand honest of servants, had bcon accusedof stealing und his character had been ta-ken away. He " took on " at such anextraordinary rate that one of the ofticors,who had watched tho performance withsuspicion, at once stepped out to tho tentwhere tho howler did his culinary work,and in fivo minutes discovered a bottle ofbrandy, two boxes of sardines, some piok-lnd oysters aud a fow other luxuries, allof which he recognized as his own.

That settled the fate of the too enter-prising cook, who was sent out of thecamp with the epithet of " BlubberingBob," which utuck to him so tightly thathe never could get any higher rankamong the camp followers than that ofmule-driver.

When we roud the report of tho debateIn the House yesterday over tho Sanbornsteal, and noticed how Butler howled withpain from the lashings of tho press, theexposures of tho House committee, andthe excoriation of Beck, Foster, Hawley,Dawes and Thelps—proclaiming 4iis inno-cence and whining about persecutionwe could not but recollect " blubberingBob." When the thick hide of the " war-rior-statesman " is so effectually punc-tured that he assumes the role of " Blub-bering Een," we may be sure tliat a. littlecloser examination is all that is needed toestablish by legal evidence what the

whole country believes about the " headcenter " of nil the persecutors of our mer-chants, of ml the traps to catch honesttaxpayers, of all tho informers and spiesand black-mailers und of all tho vile crea-tures who bolong to the party in power,solely because they can theroby plunderthe government and bqtter men.

Aiming (lie w ashtuiiaw Short-Horns.Tho following notes of travel among

some of the most notod herds of Durhamsin the Htato ;ire. from th» pan of W. J.Sotham :

Having visitod tho following herds, abrief description of them may bo inter-esting to your readers. The first is thatof David M. Hil, nuar Ypsilanti. Hero Ifound an old established herd well knownin Michigan as having bcon shown at thoStato Fairs and won many premiums.—Thore are some fine animals, still thisgentleman cannot claim such uniformityof character as to become a pattern tobleeders. Notwithstanding this, he, likemost of them, thinks ho has got the best,and I admit thoy are good milkers. Icannot recoucilo mysolf to praise his bull,as his size exceeds my standard of perfec-tion in a short-horn.

From here I examined the small herdof 8. Y. Deuton, of Dcnton. This gentlo-man is a beginnor, and, if I am not mis-taken, has startod rightly. I was muchpleased with Mr. Denton's cow, "Queenof Maple Bank." I have boforo prp-nounced her as good a cow as I ever putmy hand upon, and I do not diffor fromthat opinion. Her progeny is uniformlygood. She will bo fivo year3 old in June.Her first heifer, now coming two, has justdropped a fine heifer calf, is a very supe-rior animal, and if sho improves as herdam has done tho past year, will not bt«far behind hor. She is by thiid " GrandDuke of Oxford," bred by F. W. Stone,Guelph, Canada. _ Tho heifer coming ayear old is a very superior one, and in myopinion will outshow her older sister.—She is by tho second " Duke of Hillsdale"9,064, bred by Win. Curtis & Sons. Hehas six crosses of Booth blood, and someof tho best of it. Although tho Duko isin low condition, having laid out in allweather, night and day on nothing buthay and cornstalks, he plainly shows hisgood points. He inherits his siro's goodpoints and but few of the inferior ones."j'J. E. B. Stuart's" issuo was deficient inhis crops, and a high ridge at tho tail.At these points this bull is good. Ho,like his sire, is lacking one short rib, andlike his siro is inclined to a ragged shoul-der point, but this might be hid withflesh. Take this bull in size, symmetryand quality, for he has a good thick, mel-low hide, with plenty of long hair, and Ido not see how Mr. Dentou can do bettorwith so much Booth blood to mingle withthe blood of Bates and Stevenson. Thiscow has just dropped her third hoifer calf,which is as promising as either. Sho isby the Duke. Setting the " Queen of Ma-ple Banks" aside, tho roan cow " Quynno"might bo considered a capital cow. Sheis six years old, bred by Mr. John 33offat,Blenheim, Canada, running into the Ste-venson herd through Wolvis»ton. Herbull calf was sold to Mr. Hosier, of Dexter, and was a superior one. Her heifer,now coming a year old, is veiy promis-ing, althongh not equal to that of theother cow. Mr. Denton h.in some first-class Berkshire pigs.

My next visit was to the herd of Mr.Horace Hosier, of Dexter. Hero I foundthe bull coming two yeprs, bred by MrDenton. If he does not grow too largehe will prove a very profitable animal.—His quality and symmetry is good. Hehas a capital thiok, mellow hide and longhair,' denoting a strong constitution. MrRosier has a cow by " Duke Baldu." Al-though she has been highly extolled Icannot see her merit; her crops are light,her paunch heavy, and her loaded rump's,called " fool's fat," disfigures her. Adaughter is a better animal, although ofa similar character. Notwithstandingthis bull, "Duke Baldu," has been highlyflattered, I cannot indorse that opinion.Mr. Hosier has somo high-grade heifersfar better than MB full bloods, and it mustbe a better judge than myself to disting-uish them from " liuih. pedigree herd bookanimals."

My next visit was to Mr. Henry Warn-er's, about four miles from Dexter. Thisgentleman reminded mo of a substantialEnglish breeder, when profit was moro ofan object than notoriety or fancy stook.His " Duko Baldu" was purchased as acalf, with a hoifer, from Mr. Thome, andhe supposed, as he naturally might fromthe extended reputation of this gentle-man, that ho was getting a prize, but hadhe never seen oither bull or heifer hisfamewould have been much greater than it is.Tho heifer has had but one calf, and thatis a bull with a " strong head," with abody in proportion. His old cow " Gyp-sy," without a particle of Duchess blood,has brod sixteen calves, and is still[living.This cow has been the making of the herd.His present bull was bred by Wm, Curtis& Sons. He is a vecy good animal, but Icannot pronounce him perfect. He has agood head, his neck is too thick, his cropslight, his paunch extended, although fullof flesh, the root of his tail, like that ofhis sire, " J. E. Stuart," is high, and, likehim, he lacks a short rib, but his hind-quarters are superior. I should like himmuch better if he had longer hair to cov-er his thick mellow hide. Notwithstand-ing these deficiencies, he has some excel-lent calves showing uniforinity.syniinetry,quality and compactness. The two redones are superior animals, the fourth is apromising heifer. I think these far su-perior to his oldor cows. He has a supe-rior bull calf which I predict will make abetter bull than the sire.

We then crossed the field to his neigh-bor, H. B. Jones, where wo found somefull-bloods and grades. His youngerstock is quite an improvement on theirdams, which wero low in condition, andnot in a fit state to pass an opinion. Hois also a breeder of Berkshires.

SAVING POTATOES.—L. J. Colton writesfrom Bureau county, 111., to the PrairieFarmer : " Iu view of the scarcity of po-tatoes in this part of the country, I wouldsuggest that by cutting oft' the seed end,and then cutting that in two pieces, andputting one of those in for a bill, thebalance of tho potato can be used forfood. Or by a little labor, for those hav-ing a fow potatoes, they can sprout themlike sweet potatoes, and then pull off thesprouts, and set them out, and by contin-uing to do so, much more can be produc-ed from the few used up in producing thosprouts. One man in our village says heiu this way gets earlier potatoes than hocan by planting tho whole potatoes. Ifreaders will give these two ways a fairtrial and report through your paper nextfall, they may sorve their country in this

Small Mcnns.Tho power of money is on tho whole

over estimated. The greatest thingswhich have been for tho world have notbeen accomplished by rich men, or bysubscription lists, but by men generallyof Bmall pecuniary means. Tho greaterthinkers, discoverers, inventors and art-ists, have been men of moderate wealth,many of them little raised above tho con-dition of manual laborers, in point ofworldly circumstances. And it will al-ways be so. ItioheH arc ofteuer an imped-iment than a stimulus to action ; and inmany cases they aro quite as much a mis-fortune as a blessing. Tho youth who in-herits wealth is apt to have life made tooeasy for him, and ho soon grows satedwith it, becauso ho has nothing left to do-sire. Having no special object to strug-gle for, he finds timo heavy on his hands;morally and mentally asleep; and hisposition in society is often no higher thanthat of a polypus over which tho tidefloats.

A tippler who had his load on " fetch-ed up " against the side of a house whichbad boon newly painted. Shoving him-self clear by a vigorous effort, ho took aglimpse at his shoulder, another at thehouse, a third at his hand, and exclaimed," Well, that is a oareless trick in whoeverpainted that house, to leave it standingout all night for the people to run against.

\)v. J. Walker's California Via("gar Bitters nre a purely Vegetablepreparation, made chiefly from the nativeherbs found on tho lower ranges of the Sier-ra NeVada mountains of California, themedicinal properties of which are extract-ed therefrom without the use of Alcohol.The question is almost daily asked, "WhatU the cause of the unparalleled success ofVLSKGXK BITTEHS?" Our answer is, thatthey remove tho cause of disease, and thop ttient recovers his health. They are thegreat blood purifier and a life-giving prin-ciple, a perfect Renovator and Invigoratorof t he system. Never before in the historyof the world lias a medicine been com-pannded possessing the remarkable qual-ities of VIXEGAR BITTEIW in healing the sickof ever v disease man is heir to. They are agentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, reliev-ing Congestion or Inflammation of thoLiver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Dis-eases.

If men will enjoy good health,'letthem use VINEGAR BITTEKS as a medicine,and avoid the use of alcoholic stimulantsla every form.

No Person can take these Bittersaccording to directions, and remain longunwell, provided their bones are not de-stroyed by mineral poison or other means,and vital organs wasted beyond repair.

Gra teM Thousands proclaim Vr>i>OAR BITTERS the most wonderful Invigor-ant that ever sustained the sinking system.

Bilious, Remittent, and Inter-mittent Fevers, which are so prevalentin the valleys of our great rivers through-out the United States, especially those OJthe Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois,Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Bed,Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Ala-bama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James,and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country dur-ing tho Summer and Autumn, and remark-ably so during seasons of unusual heat anddryness, are invariably accompanied by ex-tensive derangements of the stomach andliver, and other abdominal visceira. In theirtreatment, a purgative, exerting a powerfulinfluence upon theso various organs, isessentially necessary. There is no cathar-tic for the purposo equal to DR. -J.WALKEB'SVINEGAR BITTEES, as they will speedily remove the dark-colored viscid matter withwhich tho bowels are loaded, at the sametime stimulating the secretions of theliver, and generally restoring the healthyfunctions of the digestiva organs.

Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Headache.Pain in tho Shoulders,Coughs/Tight-ness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructa-tions of tho Stomach, Bad Taste in theMouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of thoHeart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Painin tho region of the Kidneys, and a hun-dred other painful symptoms, are tho off-springs of Dyspepsia. One bottle willprove a better guarantee of its merits thana lengthy advertisement.

Scrofula, or King's Evil, WhiteSwellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas,' SwelledNeck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations,Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affec-tions, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin,Sore Eyes, etc, etc, In these, as in allother constitutiouul Diseases, WALKEB'SVINEGAR BITTERS have shown their greatcurative powers in the most obstinate andintractable cases.

For Inflammatory and Chroniclthcumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittentand Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of theBlood, Liver, Kidneys, and Bladder, theseBitters have no equal. Such Diseases arecaused by Vitiated Blood.

Mechanical Diseases.—Persons en-gaged in Paints and Minerals, such asPlumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, andMiners, as they advance in life, are sub-ject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guardagainst this, take a dose of \\ ALHUI-.'HVINEGAR BITTERS occasionally.

For Skin Diseases, Eruptions,Tetter,Salt Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples,Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ringworms,Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch,Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humorsand Diseases of the Skin of whatever nameor nature, are literally dug up and carriedout of the system in a short timo by theuse of these Bitters,

Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurk-ing in the system of so many thousands, aroeffectually destroyed and removed. Nosystem of medicine, no vermifuges, noanthelniinitics, will free the system fromworms like these Bitters.

For Female Complaints, in youngor old, married or single, at the dawn ofwomanhood or the turn of life, these TonioBitters display BO decided an influencethat improvement is soon perceptible.

Jaundice.—In all cases of jaundice,rest assured that your liver is not doing itawork. The only sensible treatment is topromote the secretion of the bile andfavor its removal. For this purpose ixaeVINEGAR BITTERS.

Cleanse the Vitiated Blood -when-ever you find its impurities burstingthrough the skin in Pimples, Eruptions,or Sores; cleanse it when you find it ob-structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanseit when it is foul; your feelings will tellyou when. Keep the blood pure, and thehealth of the system will follow.
