DR.. watson's Diptheria Cure.

2 s.Frovr M OBERLIN May 9Th, 1884.
Sir-Having cured four cases Of Diptheria In my
house. and watched its wonderful success in many
neighborhoods in my travels, I call DR.. Watson's
Diptheria Cure sure cure for that eWfpl scourge.
No one dies who takes it in season; and hay ay it
cures ali who ara thorough in using it even after
the disease is called fatal by attending physicians.
I challange any one 10 show failnre where the
medicine has a reasonable chance. Who would not
have it in the house; II they knew its power. A
Celebrated Druggist here who feared to try it for
while finally tried it for every member of his family
and told me he would not take 90 dollars for the
cure jusr for his family, and don't believe he would
take II in god even at its highest premium 1t re-
minds me of tie " Brazen Serpent" q sure cure
Very Respectfully Yours, +. M. SPENCER. Il

Ey-It is the opinion of the leading financiers
of the country there is no real cause for the
recent rise in gold, but it is attributable solely
to the efforts of the Belmont politicians to push
up prices to influence the elections. Every vic
tory of our army upon the battlefield strikes a
telling blow at all such financial operations.

DRUNKEN SENAToRs.-It would be really
amusing, if it were not thoroughly disgust
ing, to witness the drunken vagaries of Sen.
ator Richardson of Illinois, as he reels about
from place to place in the capitol building;
dunk at morning, DRINK at noon, and drunk
at night; drunk in his seat, and drunk out
of his seat; drunk at assembling and drunk
at adjournment. AS he passes the street
corners, the little boys point their fingers at
his bloa,ed features and mock his unsteady
gait. 1t is said, indeed to look at him roll
ing, rather than walking to the Senate
chamber, and to think that he should have
voice in the enactment of laws to govern
a great nation. Citizens of the United
States ought to take pride enough in the
highest legislative body in the land, to see
that worthless drunkards are excluded from
IT, and when one gets in occasionally, the
press ought to write him out, or if tina. will
not do. the people ought to kick him out
McDougal of California, and Richardson of
Illinois, are the only habitual drunkards of
the Senate. McDougal is harmless in his
cups. He goes out horseback riding, falls
into the gutter, and the small boys rally
round him, and have little fun at his ex-
pense. He seldom troubles the Senate
chamber with his presence. Richardson,
however, is disgusting in his bacchanalian
revelres-always obtrudes himself upon the
Senate when scarcely able to stand erect
always unfortunately for himself and for his
State, in his seat, to be pointed at from the
galleries, and TO have his name given in re-
ply to the oftrepeated question, "Who is
that drunken fellow over there ?'-JFash.

Vermont Women and the Washington
Fair.

The great national fair for the Christian
Commission and the families of our disabled
soldiers, which for months has absorbed the
hes; energies of our mobiles: men and We
men, was opened on Washingtons birthday
in the Patent Office This fair has been to
great degree under the superintendent of
the wives Of our representatives now in
Washington. Beside giving their personal
labor, these ladies have correspondent llrgely
with the people Of their several districts,
thus the treasures of this fair are composed
Ct contributions from many states. Doubt
less other states have responded as nobly,
but 1t has been MY privilege to read many
private letters from the women of Vermont,
and with Keen pleasure l bear witness to
their self-sacrifclng patriotism. Talk Of the
women OF the revolution They were not
more eager to melt their pewter spoons, nor
more noble in sacrificing the husbands and
sons Of their love than are the true women
of this greater revolution. In those far away
hamlets among the hills where true hearts
throb. Spontaneous, clear as their own crys-
tai streams, are these rills Of benev olence
flowing down to the great river. Notwi,h-
standing the unprecedented drafts upon their
resources. for men, bounties, home fairs.
nearly every town has responded. How holy
in our eyes are these sacred mites, these
quarters, these dollars, swelling at last into
thousands, gathered from the widowed wife's
and bereaved mothers scanty stores, poured
with self-forgetting love into the soldiers
treasury. The senescent hands and fearful
eyes of women have counted them, and the
angel of God has numbered them all.
