DYSPEPSIA. -This is a very distressing COM
plant and gives the patient more suffering
than almost any other disease; in fat, it is II
combination OF many complaints in one. The
symptoms are numerous, and are of the nature
of almost all other complaints combined.
From this fact arise the very many cases where
this disease is mistaken for some other, and SO
Improperly treated. The first symptoms-in-
digestion, tlatulency, loss of appetite heart
burn. headache, etc, if neglected, almost al
ways awaken some dormant disease, and send
the poor sufferer to a premature grave. What
you must first do is cleanse the blood and reg
ulate the bowels do this with the "Moun-
tain Herb Pills." and you can bid defiance to
dyspepsia.

From Washington.

Mr.. Wendell's testimony before the
Covodc Committee, established the
fact that he expended between $50, 900
and sac, 900 on the English bill, part
of which has been traced and the rest
in fair way of discovery.
The evidence of Simeon johnson
furnishes another link to- the chain,
proving that the Lecompton Constitu-
ton was made in Washington and
sent to Kansas by an Administration
agent.
Mr.. Sherman made an able speech
on the tariff question. He said the
act of 1857 was crude and illdigcstcd,
and ought never to have been passed.
Three years ago, when it went into et.
feet there was a surplus of SIT, 100000
in the Treasury. while now the coun-
ty is sos 100000 in debt. He APP
pealcd to facts and figures to show
that the ordinary receipts are far be.
low the expectations of the govern
mcnt, and pointed to several sources
of expenditures where large reduc'
tons could be made in appropriations
but he had very little hopes of mate
rial reductions when party spirit and
sectionalism are rampant in the coun
try, nor was anything in the way o.
revenue in the future to be expected
from the public land. For these and
other considerations he urged the in
crease of the revenue duties.
