NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-The com
missioners appointed by the President some
time since to examine and report upon the com
ple;ed road and telegraph line of the Northern
Pacihc railroad placed their report IN the hands
OF the Secretary of the Interior to-day, The
general findings of the commissioners are
favorable, and they conclude their report by re-
commenting the acceptance Of the road by the
government. The department, however. con-
sders the report merely in its custody for the
present. and will take no ON cia action in regard
to il until the profile and typographical map OF
the line required by Its gulations are furnished
by the company and placed on file with the
report. This will probably be done in the course
OF three or four weeks.

Throughout the financial world
1T is a matter of wonder and
amazement that the financial
policy Of the United States
should be so successful. We
elected General Grant, pledged
to maintain the faith OF the
nation, to make our debt sa-
cred, and what is the result?-
Why, the seven hundred
millions of currency is worth
to-day a hundred and forty
million dollars, 20 per cent.
more than it was three years
ago. The laboring man who
has earned two dollars to-day
has received forty cents in real
gold value more than he would
have received three years ago
this day. There has been add
ed 20 per cent. to every dollar
the laboring men of this coun-
try have earned, and 1t has been
added because of tie signal
fidelity and ability with which
that pledge has been kept to
the faith of the ma
ton, honestly collect the reve-
nues, reduce expenses and ex-
the national debt as
fast as he could.

Recently a $500 Five-twenty
bond of 1862 was presented for
redemption at the loan office
of the United States Treasury,
and on the back of it was
written the following under
date OF 1868:
81 risk this amount OF my
earnings with my country, hav-
ing already risked my life. The
old Ship OF State will outride
the storm. Some of my associ-
ates in arms say these bonds
will never be redeemed. /

MANY persons say they have
tried almost every remedy that
has been recommended for hu-
mors, and they are no better
now than when they COM
menced them, and they have
no confidence in anything that
is advertised to cure Salt
Rheum, Erysipelas, and all sim
liar humors. We would say to
these that there is now a rem
edy that as yet has never failed
of curing those diseases. 1t acts
upon an entirely different prin-
ciple from anything ever offer
ed for them; it throws humor
out of the blood through the
skin, which is the only chan
mel through which the system
can be entirely freed from them
If you will try it, you will not
say of this as you have by the
others, for it will cure you. We
refer to DR.. Weayer's Salt
Rheum Syrup. For sale by all
druggists.

With $4,000 postmasters, clerks

no part of the world has such
integrity been shown under
like circumstances. We have
paid out during these three
years S9O,OOO,OOO in pensions,
and we have had five defalca-

four of them shed their blood

for the agents made good their

did it for them.
This Administration came
into power with the pledge to

to know that new bolts were
put on the doors OF the houses
in which he had staid. And
now that Sbockey was gone,
and Bud had turned against him
and Aunt Matilda suspected
him, and even poor, weak ex-
quisite Walter Johnson would
not associate with him, he felt
himself an outlaw indeed. He
would have gone away to Texas
or the new gold-6elds in Cali.
fornia had it not been for one
thing. That letter on blue
foolscap paper kept a little
warmth in his heart
His course from school on the
evening that something hap
pened lay through the sugar
camp. Among the dark trunks
of the naples, solemn and lofty
pillars, he debated the case.
To stay, or to fee9 The worn
nerves could not keep their
present tension much longer.
1t was just by the brook, or,
as they say in Indiana, the
"branch, ,"lhat some thing hap
pened which brought him to
sudden decision. Ralph never
afterward could forget that
brook. 1t was a swift rdnnlng
little stream, that dldnot babble
blatantly over the stones. 1t
ran through a thicket OF will
lows, through the Sugar-camp,
and out into Means pasture
Ralph had just passed through
the thicket, had just crossed the
brook on the half-decayed log
that. Spanned it, when, as he
emerged from the water-wil-
lows on the other side, he start
ed with a sudden shock. For
there was Hannah, with a
white, white face, holding out
a little note folded like an old
fashioned thumb-paper.
$50 quick!" she stammered
as she slipped it into Ralph's
hand, inadvertently touhing bis
fingers with her own-a touch
that went tingling through the
schoolmastel's nerves to his
heart. But she had hardly SAID
the words until she was gone
down the brookside path and
over into the pasture. A lew
minutes afterward she drove
the COWS up into the lot and
meekly took her scoldiqg from
Mrs. Means for being gone sech
an awful long time, like a lazy,
good d-fer-nothin piece of goods
that she was.

CHAP. XXvIII.-The Flight.


About ten days after Ralph's
return to Flat Creek things
came to a crisis. The master
was rather relieved at first to
have the crisis come. He had
been holding juvenile Flat
Creek under his feet by sheer
force of will. And such an
exercise of psychic power" is
very exhausting. In racing on
the Ohio the engineers some
times sends the largest OF the
firemen to hold the safety valve
down, and this he does by hang
ing himself to the lever by his
hands. Ralph felt that he had
been holding the safety-valve
down, and that he was so weary
of the operation that an ex-
plosion would be q real relief.
He was a little tired Of having

sides becoming the intimate
of Walter Johnson, SmalPs
student and Mrs. Matilda
Whites son. They made a
strange pair-Bud with his firm
jaw and silent cautious man
ner, and Walter johnson with
his. weak chin, his nice cravat
ties, and general dandy. ap-
pearalce.
To be thus deserted in his
darkest hour by his only friend
was the bitterest ingredient in
Ralph's cup. In vain he sought
an interview. Bud always elud-
ed him. While by all the faces
about him Ralph learned that
the storm was getting nearer
and nearer to himself. 1t might
delay; if it had been Pete
Jones alone, it might blow
over. But Ralph felt sure that
the relentless hand of DR..
Small was present IN all his
troubles. And he had only to
look into Small's eye to know
how inextinguishable was a
malignity that bulned so stead
lily and so quietly.
But there is no cup of un
mixed bitterness. With an In
nocent man there is no night
so dark that some star does not
shine. Besides his religious
faith Ralph had one strong
sheet-anchor. On his return
from Lewisburg on Monday
Bud had handed him a note,
written on common blue fools
cap, in round, fashioned
hand. 1t ran:
"Dear Sir: Anybody who
can do so good a thing as you
did for our Shocky, can not be
bad. 1 hope you will forgive
me. All the appearances in
the world, and all that anybody
says, can not make me think
you anything else but good
man. l hope God will reward
you. You must not answer
this, and you hadn't better see
me again, or think any more of
what you spoke about the 9TH
er night. l shall be a slave
for three years more, and then
| must work for my mother
and Shocky; but l felt so bad
to think that l had spoken so
hard to you, that 1 could not
help writing this. Respect
fully, "HANNAH THOMSON.
"To Mr.. R. HARrsooK, ESQ.,"
Ralph read it over and over.
What else he did with it l shall
not tell. You want to know If
he kissed 1t, and put 1T in his
bosom. Many a man as lntell-
igent and manly as Hartsook
has done quite as foolish a thing
as that. You have been a lit
tie silly perhaps-if it is silly |
and you have acted in a sem
timental sort of way over such |
things. But it would never do
for me to tell you what Ralph |
did. Whether he put the letter
in his bosom or not, he put the
words'in his heart, and, meta
phorically speaking, he shook
The little blue billet, written on
coarse foolscap paper-he
shook that little letter, full of
confidence, in the face and eyes
of all the calamities that haun-
ted him. If Hannah was in

in the other, of what account

be blind, but all the pictures of
blind cupids in the world can
not make Love blind. And lt1
was we'll that Ralph weighed
things in this way, For the
time was come in which he
needed all the courage the blue
billet could give him.

Wherever Poke Root grows, it has q
local reputation as Blood Purifier, and
for the cure of Rheumatism. With all
this local reputation, and the praise OF
distinguished Physicians DH. Coe, Lee,
King, Wilson NJ. Hunt, Grifiits, Copeland
and others, who have tested its medical
powers; it has been neglected by the pro-
fession at large, as much through want
of a proper appreciation ofitS merits, as
knowledge of the proper way 10 prepare
it for medicinal use. DR.. Oliver Crook,
IA physician who devotes his entire time
to the duties cf his profession has fully
tested the active medicinal qualities OF
Poke Root during the last % years, and
unhesitatingly pronounces it to have
MORE MERIT-ior diseases depending on
a depraved condition oflbe blood, than
any and all other articles named in the
Materia Medica. Under his instructions
our Chemist has combined the active
medicinal qualities of Poke Root with
the best Tonic Preparation of Iron, and
We offer this preparation to the public
