• DEATH OF A PROMINENT POLITICIAN.—Jonah D.
Hoover has just died at Washington, aged forty-eight
years. He was Marshal for the District of Columbia
under President Pierce, and previous to the late war was
well known in political circles throughout the country,
both as President of the Jackson Democratic Association
and as a member of the national committees and delega-
tions. He had been in bad health for the last ten years,
and was personally highly esteemed by men of all shades
of politics.

MONOPOLIES.—The House is evidently in earnest.
Not content with reducing taxes, it recently aimed a heavy
blow at the Pennsylvania monopolists. The tariff sections
which Mr. Schenck proposes to add to the pending Tax
Bill included anthracite in its additions to the free list.
Practically that amounts to nothing. The House, how-
ever, by a vote of 113 to 79, has declared in favour of
free coal generally, and has instructed the Ways and
Means Committee to bring in a bill repealing the present
duty. The relief thus provided will be of great impor-
tance to the Atlantic States ; and in providing it the
House strikes down one of the worst abominations of the
tariff as it now is. We are not without hope that the
salt monopoly will next receive its quietus. —New York

[ADVERTISEMENT. I—Holloway's Pills.—Unusually hot
weather in the summer months is often productive of un-
pleasant consequences to many. The liver, the stomach,
and bowels, in such cases are more or less seriously
affected, so that the natives of England are, at certain
seasons, liable to some of the disorders which rage in warm
climates. People cannot have a more powerful curative
than Holloway's justly celebrated Pills. They cool and
purify the blood, and render the system less liable to any
sort of irregularity, or when disease is present they abate
its force, and at last totally destroy it. Dysentery,
biliousness, acidity of the stomach, sick headache, and
debillsility, soon disappear before a course of these admirable
