INDIA MooNsHrNE.-Mr. Coffin, in his
recent book, "Our New Way Round the
World" thus writes of its effect on man
within the tropics. He is in India when
he SAYS: The moon is at its full, pour
ing its rays from the zenith straight down
upon us, with power that Is almost as
unbearable as that of the sun at midday.
There is no heat in its rays, but they
have great effect upon the brain. The
blood rushes to the head, and there is
sense of fullness and pressure which,
although. not attended with pain, is ex-
ceedingly unpleasant. We find it neces-
sary to keep our umbrellas spread at
snid-nigh as well as at midday. 1t is
dangerous to sleep in the moonlight in
the tropics. In this country we can see
new beauty in the words of the Psalmist,
expressive of Gods care for those who
love him 1.-The sun shall not smite thee
by day, nor the moon by night"

CURE OF KIDNEY AND LIVER AFFECTION OF A

THANKS TO Mr.. HELMBOLD.

GERARD, Pa, March 81, 1863.
EDITOR CosMoPIITE: desire, as unsolicited
tribute to the merits of Helmbolds Buchu, and for
the benefit of those similarly afflicted myself to
say that after consulting many eminent ply scians
and trying nearly all the best advertised remedies
in the vain hope Of finding relief from aggriyate
kidney and bladder diseases, from which i have
suffered excessively for many years. good fortune
finally suggested to me Helmboid's Rnchu, which
commenced using with little faith, and apparent
beneficial results for about a month. At the expir.
alton Of that time. however, thought commenced
to experience slight relief, which encouraged me TO
perseverc in its use. and now, at the expiration OF
nearly 70 years of age and consequently medicines
cannot be expected to favorably affect me they
otherwise would, have found such unspeakable
relief and permanent benefit from Mr.. Helmbold's
valuable discovery, that feel ought to publicly
record the fact, as acknowledgment to him and
a valuable suggestion TO the public.
Yours respectfully, ID. NJ. LAREN.

TIN LABELS FOR TREES.

After many years trial, we find moth
ing so cheap, simple, convenient and
durable, as strips of sheet tin, for per-
They may be seven or eight inches long,
an inch or SO wide at the larger end,
and tapering nearly to q point at the
other. Neither the breadth or length
requires accuracy. They are cut out of
scrap tin, and may be made at the rate
of a dollar per thousand, or ut a less
cost. To write the name, lay the label
on a table or board, and make the let
tiers with the point of an awl or of q file
ground to a short point, pressing firmly
while writing. Each label is placed on
the side limb of tree, by bending the
smaller end once or once and a half
around it. The work is then done-in
less time than the reader has occupied
in reading these directions. Nothing
further is necessary for many years.
The point used for writing the letters
scrapes away the tin coating, and adj
mits the moisture of rain to the iron,
rusting it, and rendering the letters con-
spicuous. AS the limb increases in size,
the tin yields to the pressure, apd never
cuts the bark, and is at the. same time
stiff enough to hold on and prevent the
label being moved by the wind, which
so often defaces and wears out other Ia
bells. Out of some hundreds made and
put on trees about eight years ago, all
are now distinctly legible and in their
places, and most of them appear likely
to last at least eight or ten years more.

For the \
NOTES BY THE WAY.

At Clinton, Iowa, September 14th, we
crossed the father of waters and sped
away over the Northwestern at the rate
of tiiirty-five miles per hour, towards
the City of the Lakes.
It is apparent to the passing observer
that the star of empire is rapidly NOV
ing westward ; for age is rapidly being
written upon that which, but a short
time ago, did not exist.
The little hamlets and villages have
merged into crowded cities. Thrift and
enterprise is written upon the face of
nature as far as the eye can reach. The
school house dome and church spire arc
prominent along all the line of the road
in Illinois.
Chicago is one of our bustling cities,
growing with great rapidity. Twenty
years ago she had population of 49,
269, now she numbers over 100000. 1t
might not be amlss If hopeful Emporia,
as she sits queen of the two rivers, to
inquire of her elder sister if, when she
was a youth of thirteen years, she could
count her sixty stores, talk of her three
story buildings with iron columned
fronts, of her two banks, her two week
ly newspapers and her one monthly
journal.
We travelled all night through Indi-
ana; but what we saw of il in the morn
ing looked as though it had been built
in the log cabin age and then stereotyp-
ed. / believe we passed over a new
road called the Pan Handle Railroad /;
enterprise will soon clothe it with a new
livery. In Ohio the lay of the land was
very fat till we reached Columbus from
there to Bellair IL is exceedingly brok-
en-. GAINESVILLE is manufacturing town.
Harper's Ferry is still delapidated. The
scenery around the town is highly ro-
mantle.
The Baltimore and Ohio road passes
through terribly broken country. 1t
is tunnel and cut, tunnel and cut, up
and down grade, flying around the
curves with the speed of lark. 1t is
doubtful whether there is three miles OF
straight, level road on all the line.
Baltimore has q beautiful situation, a
city of about 100000 inhabitants. Its
domes and spires show to good advan-
tage. From Baltimore to Philadelphia
the lay of the country is beautiful, and
under high state of cultivation. A
variety of evergreen is spontaneous.
We greeted our friends in Philadel.
phia on the evening of the 10th.
We were told at Council Bluffs that
we would be nine hours longer on this
route than if we would go by way o.
Pittsburg.

CONGRESS is always liberal to itself. Had
that body voted to each member 1925 for
stationery in 1920 or 80 it would have
caused storm that would have swept
every man who voted for it out Of his seat
yet this has been done by the present
body. Does any one believe..that this su m,
given to each member, willcurtail his privi-
lege to use the Government paper and sta
tionery whenever it suits him to do SO!
But even If there should be some obstruc'
ton in his way to do this-either in his own
conscience Gf anybody may imagine such q
contingency, or in the sturdiness of the
officer who has charge of the Government
stationery-there is the appropriation OF
$4,000 to the principal committees, which
will keep the supplies up with the demand.
1t is another sign of the great revolution,
and that Congress is growing daily more
corrupt and less responsible.

Registration.

Tomorrow the work Of registering voters
begins at the different places appointed. 1t
can be hardly necessary to urge our people
to register their names in time. The trials
we have had should be- warning sufficient.
Much that has happened to the injury OF
the State and to the injury of every mans
business within the last three years was
caused by remissness on the part of the
people first to register and next to vote.
Assuredly nobody wants to have the repeti-
ton of the anxieties and apprehensions we
have so seriously impaired public conf
dence and delayed the restoration Of peace
and prosperity to our State.
No man properly appreciates his duty as
a citizen who fails to register.
