stomach aud bowels arc subject to them, as they
have not sufficient power to digest their food -
Hence large heap OF matter is lodged and
worms must be the result. A few doses of these

them out of the system.
1t should be remembered that an occasional

Florence Money.
Davenpost, Jan ., 1865.

|
The people of Rock.I.land and Da-
venport are At length getting pretty
thoroughly walked up on the subject
of the prevailing currency. They
think that they have paid from 6 to ! 2
per cent. on Florence money, in order
to make it pay debts no further East
than Chicago, about long enough to
take some steps to get better circula-
ting medium. A late number Of the
Chicago Press, contained a lengthy
article on Nebraska Shinplasters. A
copy of the Tribune, not long since,
contained An account Of a meeting of
the Merchants in Chicago, at which
the credit of merchants in this locality,
who are in the habit Of taking Flor
ence money, was called in question:
An advertisement in another column
OF this paper. announces that hereafter
all back charges on goods delivered at
this station BY the Railroad Company,
must be paid in money current at Chi
cago. The same is also true at Rock
Island. Every day the places where
Florence money, or any other not
equivalent to Illinois or Wisconsin
money, or that will not pass at par in
Chicago, are narrowing down, and the
result is not difficult to see unless
Messrs Cook g. Sargent take immedi-
ate steps to make the money of their
issue current at Chicago Some of
the Davenport papers which have all
along defended this money, have at
length come out strong against it
Had they doue this before, some Of the
evil effects Of these worthless shinplas-
tiers might perhaps have been averted.
Our merchants might with more
ease, have preserved their credit abroad
and it would have been no worse for
them, had these men who have been
SO generous in their supplies of paper
to supply the demand for currency,
foreclosed the Mortgages which they
held. What.better is it to struggle on,
paying ruinous rates to convert Flor
euce into funds with which to pay
debts abroad, and thus to die by inches
than it would have been had these
mortgages and bonds been foreclolsed
and the merchants placed in positicn
where they could at least save their soul
are their own, and have been: in condi-
ton to tcarry on their business with
good money, though, perhaps, not SO
much Of it. The time is pretty nearly
at hand when they must refuse this
money, or be entirely unable to meet
any Of the demands against them, out
Of the three towns surrounding the
Island.
We recollect Of once seeing in a
country store, which was conducted on
the cash system, posted up in con-
spicuous position, "Our Goods are bet
ter to us than credit" and that short
sentence, slightly modified, would be
good motto for our merchants, "Our
Goods are better to us than Florence"
BIT no one Of these towns can throw
out this money, unless others do. unless
they think it is better for them to keep
their goods, than to receive in exchange
Florence money, for so long as it in
circulation, those wishing to make pur-
chases will 60 where they can use it.

How THE House. OF Representatives
is LlGHrED.-It is said, that for sim
plicity and efficiency, the lighting appa-
ratus IN the Hall of Representatives is
without parallel. The number OF
burners is 1900. The pipes that con-
vey the gas along are pierced with As
600 jets. The ceiling is made of stain
ed glass richly decorated With the ar
monial bearings of each State, and a
variety of other ornaments. Over the
ceiling, and out of sight from below, is
the machinery for lighting the House.
1t is the beauty of the arrangement,
than when the gas is turned on and a
match applied to any one jet the light
runs along the whole series of burners,
and in about twenty seconds the whole
place is IN blaze of brilliancy.

SPoT on THE SUS.-A correspondents
of the Charleston Courier says:
A large spot has recently made its
appearance on the surface of the sun.
1t is 10000 miles in diamter, of rather
triangular figure, along the borders of
the penumbra, within which are four
or five large nuclei, and..several smaller
ones in the form of dots and lines.-
The diameter Of the spot being FIVE
times that of the earth, its surface must
be more than six times the whole sur
face of the earth, or fifteen times great
er than the habitable portion Of The
globe"

success of the enterprise it may be characterized
sympathetic rather than enthusiastic Here, in our
own country, now that the solution of the problem
is hourly expected, we appear to have come to the
conclusion that this second attempt to lay the ca
BILE will end as dsastrously as the first There are
those also among us who contend, that even if the
cable should be successfully deposited in its ocean
bed, with the integrity of its parts perfectly pre-
served, it will he utterly useless for all practical
purposes. These scientific skeptics assert, that the
successful transmission of the electrical current
through two thousand five hundred miles of wire,
in coils, gives no assurance, whatever, that the
same results may be obtained from the wire when
submerged in the sea, where the current, it is ar
gued, subjected to the retarding influence of the
water, will become gradually attenuated until it
loses its power altogether. Doubts have also been
flung out, as to whether it is possible to complete
the return circuit vast an expanse of ocean,
and plausible reasons have been advanced in proof
of its impractcability. But the first thing to be
done is to lay the cable. If that should be trium-
phanty accomplished, without breach of continue
ty, it will then remain for experienced electricians
to provide an adequate remedy for the tenuity of
the electrical current for any difficulty that may
be found to interrupt the completion of the circuit
Give us but perfect cable across the Atlantic, and
the rest is comparatively easy 1t is from the me-
chanical contrivances devised for laying the cable,
from ocean storms and from those manifold con-
tingencies to which so delicate an operations con-
stantly subjected, that we have most to fear When
those obstacles are overcome we may safely ntrust
to scientific men the task of providing the means
for utilizing the wires
