A Dead DeIllsi0n.

The theory that human beings whose strength has
been exhausted by pain and sickness can be restor
ed by depicting medicines and water cruel, if not
absolutely dead deusion, is in the last agonies OF
dissolution AtleDgth it is understood that strength
cannot be purged into debilitated frame though
life may easily be plugged out of it, and that it is
about wise 10 withhold heathful stimulant from
the weak, in the expectation that they will rally
without one, as would be to deprive lamp of oil
and expect it to burn the brighter for it,
The immense and uniform success which has at.
tended the use of that wonderful combination of a
pure stmulant with the finest medicinal herbs,
known as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, has largely
assisted in dispelling the absurd chmera Frantic
attempts are made to revive it, but in vain. When
that unless invigorated they must utterly brea k
down, 1t Is in vain to tender them eculent slops in
the place ofgenuine restoratves. They may be i'm
posed upon IN this way once, but the imposition
cannot be repeated. They desire to he reire she'd

Under the operation of the Btters, on the other
hand, all the processes necessary to physical res
toration go on simultaneously. The system is slim

SIxrEEN YEARS OF SUcCEss.--In 1856 the
now famous MUSTANG LINIMESr was first
made known to the public by an extensive sys-
tenn of advertising. From that time to the
present. the demand for it has been steadily
increasing until it has taken the lead of all
embrocations, lotions, ointments, and other
external remedies, imported or domestic, ever
introduced into the American market. In the
most celebrated racing and trottng stables, in
the establishments Of stage and city car COM
panies, and in the stables of private gentle
men, it is the only recognized cure for such
diseases of the horse as require outward treat
ment. Nor is it less valuable as local APP
plica,ion for some of the most distressing
complaints to which man is subject. Rheuma-
tism, stiffness of the joints, neuralgia, sore
throat, tumors, wens, earacle. toothache,
yield to its ubduing, counter-irritant
properties; and burns, scalds and cuts are
healed with incredible rapidty undsr its opera

TEMPERANCE CONVENTION.

The State Temperance convention
which will meet this afternoon in this city
will be remarkable gathering. A few
months ago every one of the eleven sign
ers 10 the call was addicted to the mmod-
crate use of intoxicating liquors. Now
each Of them is president of club
pledged to temperance, the roll of which
bears the names of the greater part of the
men and women of the communities in
which they reside, and they have called
this meeting to "advisc and consult each
other" as to the best means of promoting
the principles OF reform and total absti-
hence. Many of the principal towns and
cities in the State will be represented,
and more would be Only that the organza-
ton of clubs is not complete
The reformatory work OF which this
convention is part commenced in an
humble manner Two or three indiyid-
uals in a neighboring town who were hard
drinkers began to reflect seriously and
talk with each other upon the evils of the
course which they were pursuing. From
talking they passed to resolutions Of re-
form, and when they found themselves
able to overcome the thraldom Of appetite,
and felt the benefits of abstinence from
strong drink in their personal condition.
they spoke to other drinkers privately and
ADVISED them to quit their cups. Their
words and example had good effect.
Many OF their former associates in intem-
pefance became their companions in the
pledge OF total abstinence. There WAS no
thought in the beginning of the move
ment that 1t would be anything more than
OF a local village character II was sim
ply the resolve of neighbors with each
other to do better. Several conversions
had been effected before the influence ia
go abroad was felt. When it began to
be mentioned that the club in Gardiner
was doing an excellent work, other com
munities said, this of Augusta among the
first, "why cannot we do likewise ?" an,
forthwith invitations were sent to the
obscure parent club for assistance and the
reformation began to spread.
At the present time there are twenty five
clubs in the State, established in the cities
and larger towns, with membership of
a number of thousands Although it may
be too early TO decide what the permanent
effect of the reform movement may be, it
is but truth to say that it has had marked
and powerful influence in the communi-
!, les where ii has prevailed, checking in

temperance as no other force has done
since the days Of Washingtonianism. 1t
has not taken hold of the weak but the
strong. 1t has gone into the professions,
into business circles, as well as among
mechanics and laborers. 1t has overturn-
ed bars and closed dram shops by tie qui-
ct but effective process of leading the usual
customers of such places to sign the
pledge and keep it. The tide of temper
ance has visibly arisen under this force.
We see its work We can name the men
whom It has reformed. They are our
ueighbors, friends and relatives. They
were dram-drinkers but a few weeks ago,
to-day they are sober men, with the pros
pect of leading temperate lives, and the
will and ability to honor themselves and
bless the communities in which they reside
1t is true that some may fail to keep the
pledge, but the probability is that the
greater part will hold fast to their resolu-
ton. In this land there are powerful aids
to him who would be temperate, in public
opinion and organized means to promote
temperance. and once his back is turned
upon the intoxicating cup, the chances are
that he does not yield to temptation again.
Whatever may be said to the contrary
there is sure gain in popular sentiment
on the temperance side. Having ad-
vanced from the stage in which ministers
and deacons took their glass openly, and
the bottle was passed around regularly at
the family table for the youngest as well
as the oldest to partake of. until we have
reached that point that liquor is driven
out of social entertainments, is never seen
at private tables or presented to guests,
and only allowed to be sold under the
sharpest restrictions, to deny progress in
abstinence from drink is to contradict the
plainest facts.
The reform movement does not conflict
with any other temperance movement. 1t
has its sphere, they have theirs. Its work
is directed to the reform of those who are
addicted to drinking; the means which il
uses are persuasive and moral. There
can and will be no rivalry between the
different agencies that are engaged in the
cause of temperance. Ways may differ
but they all lead to one center. Without
the quickened public sentiment to sustain
them, which moral agencies give, laws
would be useless. The advocates OF pro-
hibition recognize the aid of the reform
movement The reformers are content
to bring men to practise temperance, feel
ing sure that when none drink there can
be no dram shops.
| We trust the convention will set in mo-
ton wave to-day that will spread over
the State and far into other States There
seems to be manifest preparation of the
public mind for the reception of this work
Scattered efforts appear to be making sim
liar to what we have witnessed here.
Kept to its legitimate purpose the reform
will be successful. 1t will have the best
wishes OF the multitude of all sccts and
parties. 1t has started gloriously. may it
go on trinmphantly.

FINANCIAL POLICY OF THE AID
MINISTRATION.

During the debate upon the army APP.
portion bill in the House, "Wednesday, Hon.
Eugene Hale delivered a speech contain
ing careful and thorough review of the
financial policy of the present administra-
ton and showing results at once surpris-
ing and satisfactory. Mr.. Hale included
in his computations the appropriation bills
Of the present session, which are nearly
enough completed to indicate that the ex-
pendtures for the next fiscal year will be
at least $12 900, 900 less than for the year
ending on the 1st of next July. The sum-
ming-up of what has been accomplished
during the past six years is as follows -
Reduction of annual taxation. ssOs 600 600
Reduction of annual expenditures, 225,632 21s
Reduction sh of .a The principal OF the nation
Reduction Of annual interest on the ma.
tional debt 2O,iSa SOL
Among the incidents of this great result
are the reduction Of the number of articles
and occupations subject to excise tax from
2S5 to 80; the dismissal of 1884 internal
revenue officials, by which an annual say
ing OF over 81 100000 is effected, and the
collection last year of $751;, 100000 of
revenue from spirits, fermented liquors
and tobacco, in place of less than $43,-
600, 900 in 1860. While all this has been
done, States have been low ering their in
debtedness and many municipalities have
paid them to the last dollar. Mr.. Hale
concludes that in view of the record.
there is no fear that 1.-The American peo-
pie are prepared to turn their backs upon

tration of the government all these bless
