there is no remedy like MISHLER'S HERB

sedentary habits. II has long been claimed
and is now an established fact that a combi-
nation Of certain herbs, roots and banks will
cure their ills. Such preparation Is

never failed, and II still continues on It's tri-
umphant career. For all diseases arising
from any impurity ofthe blood, or derange-

entice the sportive cod
About fifty years ago, the fisheries
were the bane Of the American people.
There was more time consumed and
eloauence wasted over the matter than
all the cod fish in the Atlantic ocean
are worth. They came near bringing
about war then, but a treaty was
finally agreed upon, and the people de-
voutly hoped they had reached the end
of the business. Those who have read
the history Of those times or glanced
over the yoluminous mass of debates
in Congress" relating to the fisheries,
will view with dismay the resurrection
Of the buried controversy. II it be
found that some of the fishermen haze
lost their little smacks by tres
passing in Canadian waters, let
a national subscription be taken
up to pay them off, and let
us get rid of the matter as quickly as
possible. If we could only pay the
Canadians enough to induce them to
capture and keep BUTLER we would
save money by the operation, and we
wouldn't mind paying few cents extra
if they would also take charge OF
GRANT. The organization, equipment
and transportation Of ten thousand
soldiers, or one day Of war, or one
week of non intercourse with Canada,
would cost the United States more than
the value of all the fishing boats de-
stroyed, and more than would atone tor
any insult to our national honor which
has vet been received.

General Amnesty.

We have looked in vain through the
Presidents message to Congress for
that recommendation of universal am
nestv which was so confidently predict
ed by the Washington correspondents.
The removal of political disabilities
from thousands of the people Is not
once alluded to, and he even fails to
congratulate the nation upon the fact
that, in West Virginia and Missouri,
the people have decided against pro-
scription and are about to inaugurate
peace. Possibly the recollection Of
some little interference of his own in
Missouri may not be very pleasant, and
he has not had time to see Senator
ScHrRz and get the intended recon-
mendation Of amnesty properly fixed.
up.
But, !, matters little what the Presi-
dent NAV or may not recommend, or
what the Congress may do or omit 10
DO in relation to political amnesty and
the return of harmony and good feeling
between those estranged by the war,
There is a mightier power than the
President or the Congress at work for
pacifcation. The people are tired of
dissensions and divisions which cripple
their prosperity and embitter their lives
and they are moving together of their
own accord. The sober second thought
of all sensible men is averse to proscrip-
ton, persecution and eternal hate; and
it matters not how anxious politicians
may be to perpetuate discord, for selfish
ends and the qualification OF private pun
poses, the people will not approve it any
longer. Notwithstanding it has not
been recommended by the President an
act of Congress relieving all persons
from political disabilities incurred dur
ing the war would cause almost uni
versal qualification.

Important TO Pulmonary Pa
tients.

To give reliefto Pulmonary Consumption
is oftentimes all that 1t sought for ia the adj
ministration Of remedies. We know of ex-
treme cases that have been cured-cures are
not common, however, and perhaps for the
reason that few persons believe in It's cura-
bility, and allow their lungs to be consumed
in fatal misrepresentation. That far gone
cases of consumption have been cured by
DIR. KEYsER's LUNG CURE is hardly to be
questioned, especially when persons who
have been cured can be pointed out to any
who choose to make the inquiry Of them.
These cases arenear at hand in this city and

cure every case; nor does he claim that the

sonal direction Ia many cases it will. In
every case II will relieve, and II will surely

The EiSherieS.

We hardly know whether to thank
Mr.. BUTLER or Mr.. GRANT for the in.
formation given in the Presidents mes
sage concerning the wretched state and
miserable condition to which the Ameri-
can people have been reduced by the
bloody-minded inhabitants Of the Do
minion Of Canada. Our people never
knew before the delivery Of Mr.. But
LER's speech at Boston and the publ
cation ofth Presidents message, how
sadly they have been abused by these
same Cannucks and how atrociously
we have been deprived of our cod fish.
We never had realizing sense Of our
misery and were utterly unacquainted
with the depths of wretchedness into
which we had been plunged by the
"blue noses" on our northern border.
The newspapers failed TO inform us
from time to time how our coattails
had been trodden upon, and how indig-
nant we ought to be- We have heard
something of "the Oyster War which
has recently ragged between Maryland
and Virginia, and have seen a few para
graphs about "a Duck War" between
the same high contending parties, but
never, until BUTLER and GRANT informed
us, did we hear of "the Goldfish War"
which is to summon the nation to arms
We wonder if it is not just barely
possible that there may be two sides to
the fishery question, to which President
GRANT deyotes so much OF his message
to Congress and concerning which his
language is rather more tart than is
usually employed in State papers. Is
there not some possibility that the
Yankee shippers of those fishing smacks
that have been seized by the Canadian
Government may have shrewdly 'lost
their. reckoning" and gone-toe close to
the Canadian shore, thus violating the
treaty and becoming trespassers them
selves. Knowing, as thu, people Of the
United States generally do, how prone
the average New England man is to re-
gard everything as fish that comes into

hardy fishermen" of whom the Presi-
dent speaks, may not have been quite

Habitual Constipation.

Some occupations Of life predispose to
Costiyeness, especially those which allow
but little exercise. Persons who contract
this unfortunate habit Of body, under such
circumstances, might possibly be relieved
by changing their sedentary employments
for Others Of more active kind; but this is
by no means certain. Habitual constipa-
ton Is very obstinate disorder. All the
ordinary so-called remedies invariably ag-
gravateit. Nothing can be more injurious
than the continued use Of strong aperients.
They at flrst irritate and finally almost

some idea of the dreadful carnage Of

the fact stated officially that the bodies

thousands whose bodies were taken
