Dear Sir.-I take great pleasure IN sending you a
certificate in addition to the many you have re
ceived from suffering humanity. / can scarcely
find language sufficiently strong to express my
heartfelt qualification at the wonderful cure your
"Buchu" has effected. For four years I have suf-
fersd beyond description. All my friends with my
self came to the conclusion that my case was incur
able. Accident placed your advertisement in my
hands. l commenced taking your "Buchu." !
followed the directions, and, to my utter astonish-
ment, before I had taken seven bottles OF your val
liable medicine-I would give One Hundred Dol
lars a bottle If l could not get 1t at any other
price)-I am entirely cured. l most earnestly re-
commend it to all those suffering from disease. ]
have told many persons to take your valuable med
icine, and they are doing so with great success.

Gas and Perk---FaIIlng on In ReVenue.

WASHINGTON, August 29.-Great
activity prevails at all the navy yards.
At Boston, the Wabash, Ticonde-
roga and Niagara are being thorough
ly overhauled and repaired. At Ports
mouth, the Narragansett will soon
be furnished with a new set of ma
ehinery. The boilers of the Waur-
chett, Chaumutt, Minnesota and Ten
nessee will soon be put in, and other
needed repairs done. At Philadel-
phia, the Powhattan and Iroquois are
being thoroughly overhauled, while a
complete set of machinery and boilers
will be placed in the Quinneback at
that yard.
The officer of the State associations
here, whose elections come of in Oc-
tober, have made arrangements with
the railroads running from this city
whereby Government clerks may be
got home to vote by paying half fare.
WASHINGTON, August 29.-Acting
Commissioner Douglass decided that
the tax on the gas companies has not
been repealed and that they are still
entitled to charge it to consumers.
He also refuses to suspend the collec-
ton of the special tax against the
pork packers; In consequence of the
large amounts of warrants drawn on
the treasury during the current
month, on account of the quar-
terly pensions, it is very like
ly that the forthcoming public
debt statement will not show as large
decrease as for previous months by
five millions. 1t is probable that the
decrease viii amount to ten or twelve
millions.

the situation of both armies: Nc
Mahon, as told you, already Occn'

leaning on MiZier, Sedon and Wort
medy, with the Belgian boundary be-
hind. The PrusSians who were
marching on to Paris depioyed from
Stenay to Troyes, have changed their
direction. Instead of going west,
they are going north with their troops
around 1'royes. They march in the
direction Of Romilly. Those around
Chalons in that of Snippes, and those
which are between Stenay and Va
rennes in the direction of Rethel, by
Grandpre and Vauzieres, while a
strong force is at Dun, observing the
left of McMahOn at Stenay. Mean
