In all new countries we hear of fatal diseas-
es among Fowls, styled Chicken Cholera,
Gapes, Blindness, Chambers, Megrims or Giddi-
mes, &c. LEIS' POWDER will eradicate the
above named diseases. In severe attacks, mix
a small quantity with corn meal, moistened,
and feed twice u day. While these diseases
prevail, use little in their feed once or twice
week, and your poultry viii be kept free from
all disease. In severe attacks oftentimes they
do not eat; it will then be necessary to admin
lister the Powder by means of quill, blowing
the Powder down their throat, or mixing Pow
der with dough to form Pills.

SUNDAY, March u, 1904
The gold market was dull and heavy during TIE
past week, and the transactions were nom l4oT

Coin was in superabundant supply, and from ax
per cent per annum TO S32ds per cent per diem was
paid for having 1t carried. The shipments Of specie
ana bullion from the port aggregated $l,09oslo.
The customs receipts were $2,64s475, and the SUB
Treasury disbursed about 900 in payment OF
interest on the public debt. is evident rom the
course OF the premium Of late that confidence In the
public credit has not been shaken either by the I'm
peachment Of the President or the Sherman funding
bill and similar mischlevous schemes introduced III
Congress. The sober common sense Of the people
tells them that such financial tnkering as Senator'S
Sherman and Henderson propose viii not be enter
tained by any but a small minority in either
House, and that nothing win be done, during the
present session at least to damage the financial in
terests of the country. Neither currency imitation
nor contraction is required, and the former would be
as hurtful as the latter while new funding scheme
is called for in view OF the large amount Of seven
thirty notes which still remain to be redeemed or
converted into bonds
Government securities were depressed, however,
by the financial bills referred to, but without good
reason; and hence since Thursday there has been
quick recovery from the previous decline under an
Improved investment ana speculative ueinaHu. liic
prices OF vetwenties Of the various issues are con-
siderably lower than they ought to be in view
OF the interest they bear, and in comparison
with railway shares they are remarkably cheap
as, for instance, New York Central, q
six per cent in currency stock, which.
is selling at about twentyseven per cent above par
while United States bonds bearing six per cent in
gold quoted at less than six per cent above par

during the last two days OF the week was IN sevcn
thirty notes, and these are now relatively higher
than the later issues of 1ve-twenes and especially
those of 1885, both new and cid. The bonds Of 1862
still remain nearly two per cent higher than the first
issue Of 1885, but for other than that the
former are held more largely than the latter abroad
There is no sufficient foundation in this preference
however, to permanently support the 1852 bonds at
q higher point than those of 1865. The Treasury
has not been buyer Of seven-thirty notes for

certain that 1t will soon resume its purchases,

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.

The market for domestic cotton goods has been
somewhat irregular during the past week, and prices
have uctuated considerably. During ME first Of the
week there was greater buoyancy and irmness under
the cable cotton news, but when the cotton market
became dull and prices fell OF about 1c. per pound
the goods market became somewhat unsettled by
the desire TO sell which was manifest on the part q
the smaller spectators. The large dealers resisted
the movement az long as possible having full conf
denco in the future, but were finally compelled to
work down certain fabrics or be undersold. In view
Of this fact we ind some Of the leading goods selling
lower. New York Mills muslins for instance, which
and are by NO means active at that. And certain
other goods are correspondingly lower though no

FoRTIETH CONGRESS,

mand reflected upon the subject OF the Declaration OF
Independence, and finally have come 10 the sincere
conclusion that universal suffrage was one OF the In
aenable rights Intended TO be embraced In that in
etrument by fathers at the time VI the decar2Qn,
and that they were prevented from Inserting Ii In the
constitution by slavery alone. They had no intention
20 abandon IL as one OF the finally enuncatcd rights,
but simply TO postpone 10. The Committee on Recon-
Etructon have inserted that provision with great
unanmity In the bill admitting the state Of Alabama
into the Union. They have finally resolved That no
State shall be admitted into the Union unless under
that condition
have deemed this notice necessary that the States

"For loan oft loses both itaolf anil fricni.

II tho above Lines were true, remarks q CON.
temporary, in tho days Of Shakespeare, they arc

not however, kindness to lend to a lazy, or
shifiess person, and It is seldom necessity to
borrow on thepart OF ono who is industrious and
proyidont. Persons who lend trihes whenever
called upon arc either srperluously good IA.
turcd orculpably careless, and what thoy loso in
this way they would probably lose in some other
way. Persons who borrow without reasonable
