DR.. J. J. Lawrence: Dear Sir-My youngest
daughter, aged five years. has been dreadfully af-
hicted with srrofula nearly all her life. tried
great many physicians, but without relieving her
much; in fact most of them said there was no hope
of cure. During the last prir she worse than
ever; her body and limbs being covered with sores
and blotches-with face and eyes badly ulce ated
and swollen. While in this condition 1 was ad
vised by DIR. l.. A. Stith to try your Rosadals. at
once procured three bottles. and commenced giving
it to her. The effect was magical In less than u
month, to my great astonishment, she entirely
well.

UNEQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF BANKING

The powerful speeches of Gov. Seymour
through the west, just before the late cleo

tribution Of banking capital, and It IS to be
hoped that the remedy will be applied. The
radicals closed their ears to his unanswera'

now. The Chicago Port (radical) on Thurs.

From the Dubuque Gowa) Times Nov. IS.
Among the many foolish, weak and wick.
ed customs which are still permitted to dis
grace the nineteenth century, is that Of treat
ing a new married couple to nocturnal
serenade with pans, tin horns, kettles, and
other indescribabe instruments of uncouth
sound, on their wedding night, which diver
sion is denominated chariysri, but which
is about as appropriate, and as much called
for, as an Indian war dance would be on the
assembling ofthe United States senate. On
these occasions it is customary for all the
young men and boys in the neighborhood to
collect themselves together and at a given
signal strike up a din of unearthly music,
more dscordant, if possible, than modern
opera, which performance is continued until
the atfrighted bridegroom comes forth and
signifies his willingness to stand treat for the
whole crowd. To such an extent has this
practice been INDUCED, in many of our
western counties, that youthful hearts, yearn-
ing to be made one, have often flown to
other states where they could enjoy their
welded bliss without interruption. Many
promising matches that we wot of, have
been broken off through dread of the chart

been committed, calculated to shock the
nerves of all sensitive people, and put a

The logic Of the Rim Union is something
wonderful. 1t insists that, when a bishop is
invited to preach political sermon, and re,
fuses to do so, he is making use Of his church
for political purposes The Rim asks, as
there any less politics in refusing such re.
quest than in making nv There is really
something peculiar to the Rim, in this mud
headitiveness. If bishop is requested to
use his church for political purposes and re.
fuses to do so, he therefore uses it for politi.
cal purposes, says the Rim. The logic OF
the Rim is most mysterious, untathomabIe,
and metaphysical. We doubt if the people
can comprehend it.

piece of logic the Rim proceeds to eject q

men who we're executed in Manchester, for
