A PLEASANT TRIP on THE FoURTH.--
During the heated term, when every one is
trying to get away from tn hot atmosphere
OF the city, a run through the "bright Pc

The RenSOnS Why.

Some Of the reasons why DR.. ROback's Blood
Pills should be kept in every family are,
Because, they can be employed in all case,
where a family physic' is required, and ar,
perfectly safe in their administration at al
times
Because! they act promptly in removing al
distractions from the bowels, aifOrdIng imme
date relief in collie or other pains.
Because they are a Liver Pill acting direct
~ on the spleen and liver removing the bile
and assisting digestion.
Because in taking them they do not inter
fere with the regular avocatiOn of the patient
or leave the bowels COnstipated
Because they are made both with and with
out sugar coating, thus adapting them to the
use of every body.
Because they being purely vegetable are
perfectly harmless, and can 10 taken by chill
dren or adults at all stages or periods Of life.
Because! they are especially adapted to the
use of persons of sedentaTy habits, and 10 the
use of females about to become mothers.
Because, they are what their name indicates
Blood Pill, searching out diseases of the blood
leaving the system in the full vigor of health.
Because they are perfectly gentle in their
operation, causing no gripping, and are a safer,
suTer and every way better purgatiye pill than
has ever before been offered TO the public
Because when followed in their use by RO.
backs Stomach Bittcrs, they cure the very
worst cases of dyspepsia.
Because they can be purchased nj any drug
store at the extremely low price Of twenty five
cents per box.
Sold by all druggists everywhere.

HOUSE.

Florence Scannell, the witness who
had refused to answer certain questions
put by the committee on the New York
Elections Frauds, was brought before
the bar of the House in the custody of
the Sergeant-at-Arms. Mr.. Scannell
professed his readiness to answer all
questions, and he remains in custody
till he can be examined.
Henry Johnson, another witness also
summoned and who had not attended,
was brought before the House, and
stated that he had not intended to COM
nit any contempt and was ready to
testify. He remains in custody until

Mr.. Poland introduced bill provid-
ing for a uniform system of naturali-
cation. Referred to the committee on
Revision of Laws.
The bill proposes to admit aliens to
citizenship under continuous residence

six months. The proceedings for natu-
ralization are to be restricted TO Circuit
and District Courts ofthe United States,
and the Court of highest jurisdiction in
each State aud Territory which holds
stated sessions in each county for the
trial of civil causes.
1t requires a notice OF intention to be
filed and sworn to one year and six
months before naturalization: also no.
tice thirty days before application,
stating the name, age, residence and oc-
cupatlOn.
The House went into committee of
the Whole, Mr.. Wilson, of Iowa, in the
chair, on the Indian appropriation bill
and the bill appropriating $4,000 for

posing thereof the committee rose and
them to the House, which,
without action, took recess till 1880.

clusively to the internal revenue bill.
