Read what the editor of the Cincinnati Time
says of ALIENS LUNG BALsAM:
A REMARKABLE CURE.-Mr. Samuel Lewis, one
the old Pioneers OF CINCINNATI was very long, an
arently, in the last stages of Consumption, and
given up by physicians, when some kind friend re-
commended him to use ALIENS LUNG BALSAM.
He did so, and Immediately commenced recovering,
and now able to attend to business He saws: GIN
TRUTH may say it has saved my life. Mr., Lewis is
well known in Cincinnati, and the fullest confidence
may be placed in his statements 1t is DUE therefore,
to the community, especially those suffering under
this terrible maady, that the fullest publicity be
given to such marvellous cures, that other sufferers
may avail themselves of the remedy. With pleasure
therefore, we refer to this cure
From our knowledge of the merits of this excel
lent balsam, and what we hear of its merits, we
think it should be at once used by all persons suffer-
ing from cough, or any pulmonary complaint. We
hear that many far advanced in consumption have
been cured by its use. dc14t4w

Gen. Sickles once more occupies Il
prominent position before the people Of
thi. country, by bis absurd action rela-
tive TO the recognition of the Cuban re-

trament Of death against the one whom
he said had wronged him. He took the
law into his own hands. Shortly after
his acquittal he resumed his marital re-
lations with the woman whom lie said
had dishonored him. To save his neck
j; Is said he induced his wife to sign a
written statement that she was faith
less TO her husband. In few years
this woman died of a broken heart, and
il is said that upon her death bed she
charged that her husband had forced
her to admit faitillessness and crime to
screen him from punishment"

to wait patiently for the arrival of Cali

TAXATION Of BONDS.

Government bonds are declared to be
exempt from state, county. and municip-
III taxation, bat they arc not declared to
be exempt from taxation by the general
government.
The PROPOSE to subject them to q
federal tax i denounced as iniquitous,
and we arc told that, As the power to
tax involves the power to destroy, the
right OF the government to tax involves
the right to tax the bonds cut of exist
cnce.
Suppose all this to be true. Is e
government bond more sacred than a
mans home? The right to drive a
widow and her children from the house
in which they live, by taxation, is as
serted, and yet We are told that proper
ty in fve-twenty bond is SO holy that
the hand of the taxgathercr must not be
laid upon it.
The supposition is, that taxation of
ell kinds of property must be regulated
by due regard for justice and common
sense These place restriction upon
the right to destroy by taxation. 1t is
not true, as general proposition, that
the right to tax involves the right to
destroy. 1t gives merely the privilege
of exacting from citizens, or people,
such sums of money, apportioned ac-
cording to the value of their property,
as are required for the support of politi-
cal systems which properly, in all things.
perform the Offices and duties of govern :
ment This is what the right to tax
gives: and all it gives. The power to
destroy, and the right to destroy, are
two very different things.
Government bonds are property, just
as bonds and mortgages on real estate
are property. The holders Of each
class ofindebtedness are protected by
the government, and should be made to
bear equally, according to the proper
ton Of their wealth, the cost of protec-
tion The rule for taxation given
above will prevent the government from
exacting from the bondholdcrs more
than they ought to pay.-Chicqgo Times

Jeffe son Davis sailed for America
Saturday, in the steamer Baltimore.
The Telegraph of to-day says. the pres
ent by the Harvard crew of their boat to
the London Rowing Club, was far out
done by the spirit in which it was given,
and it is sure to be regarded less as a
trophy than token turned by skill and
grace of the vauquished, into plege Of
kindly brotherhood.
Meetings have been held at Dublin,
Roscommon and Cork, in favor of an
amnesty to the Fenians.
The Times, in an editorial on the re-
lations of England and the United
States, says "the progress and result of
the negotiations on the Puget Sound
question show that Americans and Eng
iishmen can keep sufficiently above the
mists of national prejudices and apply
the common principles of equity to the
settlement of international disputes.
The work was trying one, for the
arbitrators. Any decision would have
been satisfactory. The actual one is
not unsatisfactory. The most agreeable
feature of this negotiation is the judici-
al temper displayed by the gentlemen
conducting the inquiry. The San
Juan and the Alabama difficulties are
the only questions now left outstanding.
These, if ever brought to arbitration at
the same hands, could carcely resist the
anxiety to observe the terms of their
commission by doing justice and eqity
without fear, favor, or affection for their
own country, which has distinguished
the arbitration of this claim"

THE result of the Tennessee election
has impressed two things very strongly
upon Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts,.
First, that the Republicans "may Al
we'll and at once abandon all hopes of
that State, and cease to take any special
interest in its action" and, second, that
sit should, at least, teach Republican
politicians and presses one thing-that
nothing is to be gained by talking about
or acting upon the theory that the
Democratic party is broken, powerless
and perishing organization" He
assures Republicans that "the democrat
ic party still lives" that, Though de-
feated, it is still a power in the land"
and that lit has able, adroit, skillful
and accomplished leaders, great wealth,
and means of influencing large masses
of men,"
