last March, and, for a period of eight
months, was one Of the most miserable
creatures you ever beheld, not being able
either to eat drink or sleep, and was COM
PEELED to walk the floor necessarily Iwas
nearly deprived Of my reason, and hope
had entirely left me, all the efforts lade
for my recovery having proved fruitlcss
BY the first OF November, 1865, I had
become so weak and feeble that 1 coald
scarcely stand alone, and, to all appear
ance, would soon die. At this time, (hav-
ing read your advertisements my wife
prevailed upon me to try your Bitters. A
bottle was procured, and. strange to say,
soon commenced recovering I have
taken four bottles, and am ENJOYING as
good health now as could be expected for
one OF my age, (about sixty ycars.)
nave no doubt that it was your Bitters
alone, under Divine Providence, that
effected Ihis wonderful cure.

"A Cincinnati horse railroad company is
providing a new safeguard against loss by dis
honest conductors. They have introduced
small cars, which are to be run without q con-
ductor, each being provided with glass box,
placed beside the driver, into which each pas
sepger is required to drop his money or ticket
as soon as he gets aboard, the driver, or "any
other man" being able to see whether the pas
senger makes an honest deposit. If the pas
senger fails to deposit upon entering the car,
the driver stops. The contents of the box are
removed by means of q key by an officer of
tho road at the end of each trip.

Une1pended balance, aa 1893, $4,000
The sum "squandered" by Congress is
found in the report ofthe Committee appoint
ed by Secretary McCulloch to investigate the
affairs Of his department. They reported that
fourteen billions and a halt of money had
"passed through the hands" of the United
States Treasurer since the 4th of March, 1861.
That sum no more represents its actual e1-
pendit,we of the government than the sum
passing through the hands Of the treasurer OF
private corporation represents the expendi
ture. This idea needs no elaboration for it is
clear GO the mind of any man who is convers-
ant with business transactions. Yet the arti-
Gle referred to goes on to state that the aver
age yearly expenditure of the Republican par
ty has been oper two billions! Serenty-sir
times as much as 1t cost the Democrats achite
they were In poceri Where, pray, did these
prodigals get all this money? There have
been only two sources of income-from the
regular revenue and from loans. What year
have the revenue and the loans together
made up sum nearly equal to the one
named?
The statement respecting the valuation OF
the United States is equally unfair. We are
required to believe that seven-eighths OF all
the property in the country has been squan-
dered and that only a beggarly eighth re-
mains to sustain an impoverished and bank
rupt people. How near the truth is this
The present valuation of the United States
and Territories, as is well known, far erceeds
that of $780, Where do the Democratic pa
pers get subscribers that will suffer themselves
to be insulted in this way?
p We have examined the statement only with
a view to show its reckless mis-statement of
facts irrespective of those circumstances, inti-
mately connected with it, which would des-
troy its validity as an argument, even If it
were true. a.lIns -lI o. -le.ss.1'a

Under the above caption the "Nation" has
quite long and elaborate article in which the
effects which good crops have upon the busi-
ness ofthe country, are considered as follows:
The first effect of abundant crops is, of
course, to lower the price of the articles har-
vested. Within the last sixty days flour has
declined fully twenty per cent; wheat nearly
thirty, and corn nearly forty per cent, and
the fall is scarcely begun. Cheap wheat
means cheap bread; cheap corn means cheap
poultry, cheap pork, cheap eggs; cheap nay
All that the people eat declines in price, and
the decline is not only prospective, but actual
and instantaneous. The decline affects not
only the crops about to be harvested, but every
portion of former crops remaining unconsun-
ed The great profits made by dealers and
SPECTATORS were made by the rise ON the stock
on hand; the stocks on hand must be sold at
corresponding loss, and thus the profit is
taken from the pocket of the dealer and spec
ulator, and restored to him from whom 1t hrst
came-the buyer and consumer.
The Nation thinks the general anticipations
of a profitable fall trade, based upon the pros
pect of abundant crops, are not likely to be
realized. The present stocks ofgoods of most
descriptions can only be sold at loss, and
those who anticipate an early fall trade will
pre- bably be disappointed. On falling mark
ct merchants are proverbially prone to delay
purchases. And the probable abundance OF
the crops must necessarily lower the prices Of
almost everything. The spectators will not
be in hurry to obtain the farmers crops lest
they get shaved themselves instead OF shaving
others; consequently there will not be muen
competition. The Nation says, when busl-
ness is Improbable, money lenders are ayerse
to loan. The capitalist is the most timid OF
human beings" When produce dealers find
it difficult to obtain money, that fact tends to
hasten and increase the decline in the prices
of breadstuffs. ~
We hope the following remarks of this
Journal will prove true and that our city
will reap some benefit from such state of
things:
Declining wages, cheap materials, cheap
capital which seeks safe investment, induce
moneyed men to employ part Of their means
In building. Cheap new buildings lower the
value of old dear ones, and make rents lower
everywhere. RENTS one OF the heaviest items
OF expense to all classes in this country, but
proportionately far heavier to the laboring
than to any other class.

The Duke of Argyll, Sir Charles Bright, and
other eminent men in England, have founded
an Aeronautical Society, and they seriously in
tend to solve the problem of aerial navigation.
Mr.. Wenham, member of the society, has
read a paper in which he says that "man is en-
dowed with sufficient muscular power to en-
able him to take individual and extended
flights, and that success is probably only in
yolved in a question Of suitable mechanical
adaptation" The World suggests that the D@-
dalian art win afford members of Congress and
other individuals of soaring proclivities an op-
portunity to make extended flights.
