they deserve far more praise than you seem in
clined to give them. Six months ago they were
scarcely known here, and yet at present there IS
no other medicine that can compare with them IN
popularity. In Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, de-
rangement of the Biliary organs, and obstinate
constipation of the bowels, | know of no apcrent
more prompt and ef1icacous; and have had con-
siderable experience in all these complaints
| would add that their mildness and certainty of
action render them a safe and efficient purgative
for weekly individuals; and that they may be civ
en- at all times without apprehension of any OF
those injurious consequences which SO frequently
attend the application of caomel, or blue Pill. On
the whole consider your Vegetable Pills an in
valuable discovery. Very respectfully,

CURING PRACTICE.

The principle of purifying the body by purg4
ing with UegetabIe phySic is becoming more and
more understood as the Only sensible method by
which sound health can be established Hun
dreds OF individuals have become convinced of
this doctrine, and are daily acknowledging the
practice to be the best ever discovered Now
is the unhealthy season when our bodies are
liable to be affected with disease; and now is
the time the state of the stomach and bowels
should be attended to- because on the healthy
state of those organs depends the healthy state
of the general system; and every one will see at
once, if the general health be bad while that re-
mains, local disease cannot be cured
All the medicine that is requisite to restore
the body to a state ofhealth is Brandreth's Veg
etable Universal Pills, which have performed
cures upon thousands of helpless and hopeless
persons, after the usual scientific skill of phy-
sicians have consoled them with the assurance
that they could do no more. The properties of
these Pills as ant-bilious and aperient medicine
are unrivalled; all who use them recommend
them, their virtues surpass all eulogy, and must
be used to be appreciated. The weak and del
icate will be strengthened by their use, not by
bracing but by removing the cause of weakness,
the gross and corrupt humors of the BODY.
They require no change in diet or care of any
kind. Plai: directions accompany each box,
SO that every one is his own competent physi-
clan. Remember, none are genuine sold by
druggists

TESTIMONIALS.

OPINIONS OF THE REGULAR FACULTY.
The following are but few taken at random,
from pile of complimentary epistles forwarded
to DR.. Peters by regular physicians, touching the
efficacy of his pills. He feels proud and CRATE

public.

Dear Sir-As an old classmate of yonrs in Yale
college, take the liberty of opening correspon-
dence.

of your pills, which trust is the case as am full
ly aware that through them you are comforting a
great blessing ON the public.

iarly benefited by their use. Since my arrival
here had been subject to severe bilious attacks,
which had nearly brought me to the grave, but

Among q nsmber of plans proposed for this pur-
pose, we find the following in the Patriot, under
The signature of "a Merchant" The writer pro-
poses that $500 900 Of the isaac be Withdrawn
from eireaIatiou; that the city authorities issue
certificates of stock, in sums Of $i00, to the amount
above stated, Cor a larger amount. if 81. 600, 600
should be found to be more than the demand and
that these certificates should be sold st $50 each
payable in Railroad notes. This, the writer says,
would Immediately enhance the value of the notes,
though it would cost the city $50 600.
Another writer proposes iha, the Mayor con-
vene the City Council Immediately. and they make
provision for redeeming $500, 900 Of The Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad orders. by funding them at the
market price, or oth-rwise. as they may in their
wisdom, devise, and the Railroad Company pledge
themselves to take in $40, 900 a month, and not re.
issue them until they have $500 600 Withdrawn
from circulation, the balance of $500. GOO left in

NATIONAL DEBT OF ENGLAND.

The Madisoniun has an article on this
subject. said to be made up from the
most approved British authorities from
which we extract u few of the most i'm.
portant stat menis.
The National Debt of that country
consists of sums borrowed TO make up
the Deficiencies ofihe revenues, and orig
mated during the wars carried on by
William Ill. against France.
All the accession Of Queen Ann, in
i702, the debt was EI6 1874, 702. AT
the commencement of the American war
in ITS, it had swelle6 to Gl2S, 5s3 ,635;
aud at the conclusion of the war in 1854,
amounted to f249,S5l,62s. In January
5, 1917, when the English ard Irish FIX.
%chequers were consolidated, it had reach.
ed the enormous sum Of ES4S, 2S2 AT.
At this last date, the annual interest u
mount, d to f33, S54,466.
Since 1917, a reduction has been made
Of about f64, 000, 900 from the principal
Of the debt, and about five and a third
millions from the interest on its ccount.
la January 5, 1888, tho total funded
and unfunded debt OF the Kingdom was
EISl,37S,5 $40, and the total annualcharge
on account Of the interest OF the funded
and unfunded debt, was f2S, 35l 1852.
A sinking fund for the extinction of
The public deb: was established by Sir
Robert Walpole, as early as l7l6, but
was virtually subveried in 1893. Having
been again instituted by Pitt in 1856, it
was for a great period supposed that by
means of the operation Of compound in
%terest, the public debt nigh, be reduced
by borrowing money to pay it of. DR..
Hamilton, OF Aberdeen, dissipated this
gross delusion, by showing that the ex.
cess of revenue over expenditure is the
only real sinking fund-the only means by
which any portion Of the public debt had
ever been, or could be, paid off. Upon
examining into the matter. it was found
that the public debt would have been de-
cidedly less, had the sinking fund never
been heard Of.

The Prince, we understand, returned To

Belle Poule struck up with a fine air, and
the doors were closed. The Saloon had
been elegantly filted up and tastefully a
dorned for the occasion. About $40 sat
down at the table-the tickets being $40
each. The yiands, fruits, wines, &c.
were of the finest description. The
Prince was dressed in bis uniform, and
wore a splendid star upon his breast.

LATEST FROM SALT RIvER.-"Up sal
Rirer."-By recent letters from this Sa-
line Elysiun," we learn the Locos have
left things in such a horribly bad condi-
ton that the Wings will scarcely be able
to inhabit il. All the gardens and i'm
provements made by the Wings during
their long %sojourn there, previous to 1887,
have been suffered to run waste, the
school houses turned into gambling shops,
and the log cabins torn down or blown
up. The Locos also have made clean
work of the "hard cider"-not a drop
left. The place will have to und rgo
considerable repairs before the Wings take
possession but, as they intend 10 stay
but one gear, it n be expected that
the improvements will be very extensive.
There have been many distinguished ar
rivals within the last two months. The
place is fast filling up from New York
and Michigan. Their voyage has been
rough, the wind carrying them much fur
Their up the rirer than they intended TO go.
Some Of the more malicious Of the re-
treating Locofocos circulated a report just
before leaving that Honest John Davis, OF
Massachusetts, would be there shortly.
THIS was not credited.
