DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.

''The life of the flesh is In the Blood" is a
Scriptural maxim that science proves to be true
The people talk Of bad blood, as the cause Of many
diseases, and like many popular opinions this Of
bad blood is founded in truth
The symptoms Of bad blood are usually quite
plain-bad Digestion causes imperfect nutrition,
and consequently the circulation is Feeble the soft
tissues lose their tone and elasticity, and the
tongue becomes pale, broad, and frequently COW
cred with pasty, white coat. This condition soon
shows itself in rOtsghess 0fthe skin, then in ERUP
TIVE and LUCRATIVE diseases, and when long con-
tiRued results in serious LESSONS Of the Brain, Liv
er, Lungs, or urinary apparatus. Much, very
estimated by some that one-ffth Of the human
family are affected with scrofula in some form
When the blood is pure, you are not so liable to
any disease. Many impurities of the Blood arise
from impure diseases of large cities. Eradicate
every impurity from the fountain of life, and good
spirits, fair skin and vital strength win return to
you.

DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS AND BLADDER
Persons unacquainted with the structure and
functions Of the Kidneys cannot estimate the inI-
pOTtdnee Of their healthy action.
Regular and sufficient SETON OF the Kidneys Is
as important, nay, even more so, than regularity
OF the bowels. The Kidneys remove from the
Blood those effete matters which, if permitted to
remain, would speedily destroy life. A total sus-
pension Of Ito urinary discharges will occasion
death from thirty-six TO fOrty-eight hours.
When the Urine is voided in small quantities at
the time, when there is disposition to Urinate
more frequently than natural, or when the Urine
is high cOlored or scalding with weakness in the
small Of the back, it should not be trifed with or
delayed, but KoskOo should be taken at once to
remedy the difficulty, before lesion Of the organs
takes place. Most of the diseases of the Bladder
originate from those OF the Kidneys, the Urine
being imperfectly secreted in the Kidneys, prove
irritating to the Bladder and Urinary passages.
When we recOllect that medicine never reaches the
Kidneys except through the general circulation of
the Blood, we see how necessary it is to keep the
Fountain of Life Pure.

Under the fifteenth amend
ment, we suppose Congress will
at once attend to the little Rad,
ical State of Rhode Island In
that State, at present, the right
to vote of citizens of the Uni
ted States is abridged on ac-
count Of race; namely, those
who are not native, but natur-
allied Americans, are still sub
ject to a property qualification,
which, before the Constitution
of 1914, under the old royal
charter, was exacted of all
alike. This is an unlawful dis
tinction between o well to do
darkey and a poor German
John Sherman should have
thought of it, the other day,
when he presented q petition
of one hundred and thirty-sev-
en- colored men of Circleville,
all in one hand writing, COM
planning that they were de-
prived Of "ekal rights by Oh.
stinate election officials TEx.

The Odious Income Tax.

The last proposition in Con-
gress respecting the income tax,
Is that Of Senator Sherman
He designs that the tax shall
be continued but reduced, in
stead of five per cent, as at
present, his plan is to make 1T
three per cent. :,
The people will object to
this for two reasons. In the
first place, it is a violation of
the public faith. When the
income tax was originally lev
led amid the EXTREMIST pressure
of the war, Congress solemnly
pledged the faith of the Coy
ernment that it should end in
1870. This is as binding q
promise as that on the face of
the government bonds. 1t is
q contract with the people, and
cannot be repudiated without
dishonor. Another vital OBJ
lection to this tax is that is un'
constitutional.
1t is q direct tax, and the
Constitution provides that di-
rect taxes shall not be laid "un-
less in proportion..to the cen
sus." We are aware that the
pretense is set up that it is an
excise law, like that on carrla'
ges, watches, or billiard tables;
but this pretense will not bear
an examination. A tax on in
come tax, S from the taxpayer
directly every year a certain
portion Of his property. This
gives to the income tax the
character of a direct tax, sucl
as cannot rightfully be laid ex
cept in proportion to the cen
sus, or collected except from
the States, as was the tax i'm
posed by Congress in the frs
year of the rebellion. If th'
ruling party in Congress art
wise, they will let the income
tax die out at the appointed
time. They will keep the prom
ise not to exact it after the yeal
1870.
They will not attempt to per
petuate an unconstitutional I'M
position, the most hateful tc
the people of all forms of taxa
ton that we have ever had tC
endure IN. Y. Sun. /

Grant as a Deadhead.
To the Editor Of the Sun:

To the Editor Of the Sun:
SIR: In your article copied
from the Poughkeepsie News,
/ perceive the editors are not
aware that President Grant has
long had a penchant for dead
heading, as the following Incl
dent will show:
Just before the Inauguration
of Mr.. Grant, having occasion
to pass over the New Jersey
Railroad, | was witness to a
scene which for sublime cheek
rather exceeded anything /
had ever known. Conductor
P, in passing through the
cars, came to the President
elect and demanded his ticket.
Having neither ticket or pass,
and refusing to pay his fare,
P threatened to eject him
from the train. Mr.. Grant,
however, maintained that he
was entitled to free passage
over any road in the United
States; that the conductor had
no right to demand fare of him,
and stated it should be the
last and only time, as he would
report the case and have p
discharged.
Whether P gained his
point or not / am unable to
say, as l had to leave the cars
at that interesting junction.
Mr.. Grant, however, was as
good as his word, did report
P, but so far from having
him discharged P still con-
tinues one of the most gentle
manly officials of the New Jer-
sey Road, no doubt much to
the disgust of Mr.. Grant, who
was his honored passenger last
Thursday night.
Yours, &c, VERITAs,

Presidential Deadheading
---Grant as a "Beat."
From the New York Sun, (RNdical)

From the New York Sun, (Radical)
President Grant, it seems,
not content with his salary of
a year, free house rent,
garden stuff, and perquisites
innumerable, to say nothing of
the liberal "presents" he has re-
ceived from office seekers,
claims the privileges of free
transportation over the rail
roads of the country, whether
their officers concede it or not.
At least we find in the Pough--
keepsie News the following ac-
count of what occurred Oh the
Hudson River Railroad last
Thursday, when the President
and his party We're on their
way to attend the funeral of
General Thomas at Troy:
"President Grant and Secre-
taries Robson, Belknap and
Cox, and Postmaster General
Creswell, took the midnight
train from New York. Short,
ly after leaving the city they
were called upon, in company
with other passengers, for their
tickets. The stated they had
none. They were then asked
to pay their fare, This they
peremtorily refused to do, Civ,
ing the conductor, Harry Stew
ems, to understand that their
exalted positions should insure
them free conveyance. The
conductor told them that his
instructions were to pass no
dead heads over the road, and
that if they did not comply
with the rules, he should be
obliged to stop the train and
put them off. Thus things re-
NAMED until the arrival Of the
train at Poughkeepsie, when
the conductor threatened to
disconnect the car that con-
tained the discontinued party.
But before proceeding any
further, Superintendent Tou-
cey was made acquainted with
the case, and that gentlemen
took the responsibility to trust
them for their fare as far as
Albany"
Another Poughkeepsie pa
per, the Press, tells substantial
ly the same story; and it is so
in accordance with the Presi-
dents alleged practices, that
there will be among the people
a strong disposition to believe
that it is true. We trust, how
ever, for the sake of public de,
cency, that it will be promptly
and perfectly disprQged. The
country sternly condemns much
that General Grant has done
since he became President; but
it does not wish to become ut.
terly ashamed Of him.

A New Kind of Paper.

A new kind of paper, espe.
cially adapted for various kinds
of clothing, has been invented
in England. Both animal and
vegetable materials are EN-.
ployed in its production, the
former being a New Zealand
flax, jute, hemp, and cotton,
and the latter, wool, silk, skins,
etc. These matters are reduced
to a pulp and bleached, and
then felted in appropriate ma
chinery. The mixture of these
materials gives a paper of ex-
traordinary pliancy, fexibility
and strength, which may be
sewn together as easily as wo.
ven fabrics,a and make as strong
a seam. Among the articles
made of the paper are quilts
and table cloths, stamped with
patterns of great beauty, cur
tains, shirts, and various other
articles of dress, a very good
imitation ofleather is made of
it, of which furniture coverings
and even shoes may be made.
The last may be rendered wa
ter proof by the introduction
of oils and India rubber.

weight dropping four feet is to

that to subject The rail to some
thousand of blows from this

The weight is so arranged as to
