Pain Killer a Cure for Diptheria.

All interested, please read the following
extract from letter from Mrs. Ellen B. Ma.
son, wife of Rev, Francis Mason, Toun ghoo,
Birmah
My son was taken violently sick
with diptheria, cold chills, burning fever,
and sore throat. [ counted one morning
ten little vesieles in his throat, very white,
and his tongue, towards the root, Just like a
watermelon, full of seeds; the remainder
coated as thick as a knife blade So many
children have died around here, was afraid
to call physician, and thought / would try
your Pain Killer for a gargle, with small
doses inwardly. ! did so, and found the
gargle invariably cut off the vesicles, and
he raised them up. often covered with blood.
he was taken on Sunday on Wednesday
his throat was dlear, and his tongue rapidly
clearing of / also used il as o liniment,
with castor oil and hartshorn, for his neck.
1t seemed to me a wonderful cure, and /
can but wish it could be known to the many
poor mothers in our land who are losing so
many children by this dreadful disease.
have found your Pain Killer one of the
most valuable medicines ever used in Bur-
mah:4 Once | was stung by very large
black scorpion; the pain was indescribsble.
Immediately applied the Pain Killer, (for
neyrr travel without it, again and again,
and in half an hour my foot was well.

With substantial victory in the munich
pal election at Washington, giving the de-
mocracy control Of the whole city govern
ment. it is yet gratifying to learn that full
registry and q fair ballot would give US an
actual majority of thousands ON popular
vote, The Hnteuigencer estimates that from
500 to 1000 negroes voted twice, while some
1000 whites did not register at all, appre-
hensive that the election would be only
repetition of the farce of last year. But
Notwithstanding fraud, with Gen Grants
personal presence, with the radical congress
and FIVE or six thousand radical Office holders
on hand to aid them, the schemers were
beaten. It was Grant issue, the first bat
tie of the campaign after his nomination at
Chicago. The picture of Grant headed the
radical ballots. But the soldiers of the reg
ular army, almost to man, discarded their
commander because of the company he
kept. All the enthusiasm which Greeley
and Forney insisted upon as insuring radi-
cal success, failed in this the first issue in
which Grants name as a presidential can
didate was used.

Taxes Taxes Taxes -!

The people are waking up to the fact that
there are such things as taxes, and such
nuisances as tax gatherers and tax eaters.
Dolly, under radical rule, taxes are increas-
ing, and daily the unwelcome visits of the
tax collector become more frequent Read
-mark-ponder:
To-day we are taxed about ten times on
all we have or get. The farmer is taxed
upon his land and horses. Then the United
States government collector demands few
dollars upon everything he sells. If he has
watch, or good horse and buggy, he is
taxed again. The grain is taxed in the
hands of the farmer. The purchaser has to
pay for his right to sell as often as it chan
ges hands. 1t is tax, tax and tax, all for
the glorious privilege of being radicals, hav
ing u radical congress and radical legisla-
ture. Who would be radical and pay ten
taxes on all he eats, drinks and wears
But then if you are rich radical you
can put your money into bonds and 60 free
from tax, and this is so nice. Rich men get
gold from the government, but poor soldiers
have to take greenbaeks. This is another
reason why soldiers ought all to be radicals.
This radical party, if not checked, will make
slave of every poor white man.
The people are beginning to have reali-
zlng sense of their misery and of the impo-
sitions that have been SO adroitly fastened
upon them. If the radicals eight years ago
had been honest enough to tell the people
that If they got into power they would i'm
pose such heavy taxes upon them as they
hive since done, the people would have
crushed out radicalism in It's infancy. They
will crush it out as II is-but they have suf.
fered from it more than they should ever
have submitted to. Radicalism and ras-
cality are getting to be Synonymous terms in
the estimation of the great mass of the
nanrnle y

There being no record to be found of the exis-
tsnce of democratic Senatorial or Judicial

THE PEORIA RAILROAD.

The directors of the Peoria railroad, as
we predicted, have located the road from
Peoria to Cambridge, leaving the line from
Cambridge to Rock Island for future consid-
GRAFTON. The best informed people say that
the board is in favor of the Coal Valley
route, and win probably accept Mr.. Cables
proposition.
The route from Peoria lies through the
towns of Redwood, Radnor, Princeviile,
Akron, Valley, Essex, Toulon, Goshen and
Galva to Cambridge. The board also adopt
ed the following resolution
Reso,,.3 That the engineer Of the company
nroceed 10 make definite locations between CAM
bridge and Rock Island-one location by Coal
Valley aud one by Moline, with detailed estimates
of .hs cost of such lines, including the cost of
right of way.
Also the following:
Resolced. That if the township of Rock Island,
or any other township, shall vote in favor of sub
seription to the capital stock of the Peoria and
Rock Island railway company, upon condition
that the road shall be permanently located on the
route designated in the notice pursuant to which
its election for such subscription shall have been
hold, this company expressly agrees and binds
itself to respect such condition, and win not call
for such subscription ii any ether route shall be
adopted, i
This resolution seems to US to be waste
paper for the reason that the board could
not claim the bonds unless the road should
be located as required in the vote. The
resolution seems to us to be wholly IN
necessary. 1t is just about as necessary as
it would be for creditor to tell his debtor
that he would not call for what he owed him
until it was due.
The following resolution was also adopted
Resolped, That an executive committee, con-
sisting of three directors (the president being
one,) shall be appointed, with full power and
authority to place the grading, bridging aud ties
under contract, and also to secure the right Of
way as soon as they satisfied that they car
negotiate the subscriptions to the company tc
meet the necessary expenditures.

Forney and steyens--A Pronhee,

Writing to one of bis "two papers, both
daily, on the close of the impeachment trial,
Col. Forney, clerk of the "high court" made
this prophecy:
Should the senate of the United States fail TO
convict Andrew johnson the accusations of
the house, not an electoral vote, with the excep-
ton of the vote of West Virginia, Missouri, and
Tennessee win be given to General Grant in the
southeastern states next November
And Thad Stevens said: That 'if the
President was not convicted, the radical
candidate would carry but two northern states
