Another one of Gen. Grants friends
and appointees (says the Philadelphia
Age has been indulging in little Radi-
cal financiering. George D. Orner, col.
lector Of revenue for the Fifth District
of Missouri, has only served two years,
and yet his records show that he is
500, 900 behind in paying over Govern
ment money; s5O.U00 per year in addi-
ton to his regular pay is good wages for
Orner. who is red hot supporter of
Grant for denomination, and denounces
Sumner, Trumbull and Schurz ns trai-
tors and disloyal mon. In all quarters
of the country, General Grants Office
holders are stealing the peoples money.
in sums from Sl00 to S50O,000. And
what is done to punish the guilty parties
and protect the Treasury? Nothing.
Political influences are brought to bear
upon the Government; the ability of the
culprits to elect delegates stated, aud
there the matter ends. In the case of
Orner this path will be followed, and he
will enjoy his plunder in peace.

The following appears in double
leadcd form at the head Of the editorial
columns OF the Springfield Rcpubiican:
I'm this free country of onrs, if man
don't applaud every aot OF his party he
is called n sore-head; if he don't knuckle
at each crack of the party whip he is
called disorganizer; if he dares to sug-
gest that there are rs good men out of
Office as in, and that, in some instances,
tho people could be better represented,
he is called q conspirator. And yet this
is republic in which we live! How
much further will we have to go before,
instead OF simply branding the indie
pendent thinkers and actors OF the
country with opprobrious epithets and
social and political ostracism, wo will
adopt the European course of actually
Furnishing these malcontents?"

A althy liver seGretes each day about two
and half pounds of bile, which contains a
great amount of waste material taken from
the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or
congested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount
of no1ious substance, which, therefore, re-
mains to poison the blood and be conveyed to
every part of the system. What must be the
condition of the blood when it is receiving and
retaining each day two and a half pounds of
poison? Nature tries to work off this poison
through other channels and organs--the kid
neys, lungs, skin, etc.. but these organs be-
come overtaxed in performing this labor, in adj
dition to their natural Functions, and can not
long Withstand the pressure, but become vari-
ously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical CEN
tire of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the
unhealthy blood which passes to it from the
heart, and it fails to perform its office health
fully. Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning,
which are dullness, headache, incapacity to
keep the mind on any subject, impairment of
memory, dizzy, sleepy, or nervous feelings,
gloomy forebodings and irritablity of temper
The blood itself being diseased, as it forms the
'"cat uPoH sne SURFACE OF tqe SKID, is SO lTr1-
tating and poisonous that it produces discolored
brown spots, pimples, blotches and other erup-
tions, sores, boils carbuncles and scrofulous-
tumors. The stomach, bowels and other or
gans spoken of, cannot escape becoming af-
fected, sooner or later, and costiveness, piles.
dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, female weakness,
and many other forms of chronic disease, are
among the necessary results. As a remedy for
all these various manifestations of disease DIR.
Pieree's Golden Medical Discovery is positively
unequalsd, BY it the liver and stomach are
changed to an active, healthy state, the appe-
tite regulated and restored, the blood and Sc
cretions thoroughly purified and enriched, and
abe whole system renovated and built up anew.

BUSINESS NOTICES.


The age of railroads and the telegraph gave
rise to fast living, and increases the desire for
making rapid fortunes, some wishing to out
strip, and others to be at least equal to their
neighbors. In order to keep up with this
eager and unequal contest, the brain is taxed to
its upmost power. while humanity is rendered
an easy prey to disease. The Heart, Liver,
Stomach, Lungs, or nervous system becomes
afflicted, and sickness, in the form of Heart Dis
ease, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Bronchitis, Con-
sumption, Paralysis or Mania, is the result.
The use of FELLOWS COMPOUND SYRUP OF
HYPoPHopHITEs will enable the mind to sus-
tain greater strain unfettered by conflicting
thoughts and unwearied by continued study.

fore seemed difficult of solution, becomes COM
