yond that of any other box or basket yet brought
by it are perfect. and being SO, make the basket
of more real utility for the preservation OF the
fruit than is generally supposed by fruit growers.
At the horticultural Exhibition of the Amer
lean Institute. held at Cooper Union, last June,
q ., ize was offered for the best berry box or
basket, price and durability considered. This
premium was awarded to Beecher's veneer
Fruit Basket. The testimony thus given is fully
sustained by the commission dealers in our city
markets. and by all who handle fruit packed in
these baskets.
To those fruit raiae no have tried our bss-
kets, we have nothing to say. except TO thank
them for their good opinion, as espresso TO
US in their various written communications but
of that other class who have not used then' "

Life is the Gift Of God.

When we are sick this life ia obscurei, under
a cloud, oppressed with humors. Experience
has taught US certain means, which never fail
for their removal. The child receives with his
lie he seed of his death. 1t may take one, or
one hundred years, before the seeds bear their
sad ruit, but just the seeds of death
ripen, life ceases. Purging is the grand safe
guard, because then what fosters the seeds of
death are taken away, eIpeled from the body.

MILITARY AFFAIRS.

II has been stated that the Senate Militia
r. Committee had decided to materially
alter the House bill reducing the army.
This is mistake. The committee substitute
will be reported in day or two BY the
Senate, with recommendation that it pass.
1t includes the substantial features of the
bill as it came from the House, including
the pay schedule proposed by the House,
but omits the compulsory mastering out
section of the House measure. The bill
essentially reduces the army to $4,000 men,
and musters out of the service large mum
Der of officers. The salaries of Sherman
and Sheridan are reduced as provided in
the House bill The rank Of General snd
Lieutenant General are to expire with the
present holders of them, and no vacancies
occssioned BY death in the Major Generals
are to be filed until their nun Der is reduced
pe'ow SIX. This result causes a profound
SENSATION IN army circles here, as the regu-
service has been confident that the main

CONSUMPTION.

The Three Remedies. "Schenck's PuImonic
Syrup" for the cure of Coughs Colds Bronchitis
and every form Of Consumption. This peculiar
action of this medicine ripens the ulcers in the
lungs promotes the discharge of the corrupt
matter by expectoration, purites the blood, and
thus cures Consumption, when every other rem
edy fails
'.Schenck's seaweed Tonic" for the cure of
Dyspepsia or Indi gestion, and all diseases arts
ing from debility. This tonic invigorates the
digestive organs, supplies the place of the gas
trio juice when that is deficient, and then enables
the patient to diges: the most nutritious food. 1t
is n sovereign remedy for all cases of indiges-
ton.
"Schenck's Mandrake Pills" one of the most
valuable medicines ever discovered, being a veg
etabie substitute for calomel and having all the
useful properties ascribed to that mineral, with
out producing any of its injurious effects.
To these three medicines DR.. J. II. Schenck, o
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalsd success in the
treatment OF Pulmonic Consumption. The Pui-
monte Syrup ripens the morbid matter, dis
charges it, and purifes the blood. The Mandrake
Pills act upon the liver, remove all distractions
therefrom, give the organ a healthy tone, and
cure Liver Complaint, which is one of the most
prominent causes of Consumption
The Sea Weed Tonic invigorates the powers of
the stomach and by strengthening the digestion
and bringing it to a normal and healthy condi-
ton improves the quality of the blood, by which
means the formation of ulcers or tubercles in the
Iangs becomes impossible. The combined action
of these medicines, as thus explained, will cure
every of Consumption, if the remedies are
used in time and the use of them is persevered
in sufficiently to bring the case to a favorable
termination.

FREE BANKING.

How to displace our three hundred and
forty millions of greenbacks with hard money
is one of the questions that is troubling the
financial heads Of Congress, and the first
definite plan that has been proposed IS that
of Mr.. Orth, of Indiana, and his proposition
to make banking free to all with the proper
restrictions and guarantees, on condition
that legal tender notes are to be redeemed
or withdrawn. This seems to point to q
new national currency elastic enough to
answer the changing requirements of trade
and commerce, which will take the place of
greenbacks, without producing any exciting
jar in business circles. And, that finally by
this means, specie payments will be soonest
reached and with the least disastrous
results. Western members of Congress do
not try to disguise their favor for some such
new system, but as the sentiment of Congress
is at preseat, there is no likelihood of any
such measure being realized.
Free banking is urged as a feasible
method for reaching hard money without
involving a contraction which must per con-
sequence embarrass the West more than an
other section of the country. There is,
however, some good coming out Of the
agitation of the question in that. There has
been of late An appreciable improvement on
the part of banks to extend local sccommo-
dations, whereas they were before inclined
otherwise. Such a spirit governing the
existing system, there is necessarily more
elasticity which more and more answers the
the legitimate requirements Of business, and
in a measure accounts for the prevailing
sentiment of Congress. 1t is too, questioned
if an entirely novel experiment could with
prudence be introduced into financial affairs.
when the first condition of improvement is
at all possible, stability consistent with a
steady and reasonable contraction. Also
whether to compel free banks to purchase
an amount of four per cent. bonds equal to
their present securities, will tend to advance
the sales of the remainder or give general
strength to the government.
