Brick Pomeroy while making a speech in
Texas was asked by listener ''What has the
Northern man done for Texas?" To which he
replied, Taken the weeds out of your fence
corners, raised vegetables, planted fruit trees.
built your largest and best houses, imported
your finest breed Of horses and cattle, erected
nearly every machine shop, foundry and mill
that you have among you. They have minded
their own business, and have not disturbed
large audience by asking foolish questions
They have striven by honest industry to keep
out of the sheriff's hands and thirty feet ahead
of the tax collector"

ALMOST EVERY CASE CURED WITH
p A I n XII e RI

DEAR Substituting a residence of some ten
years in Siam and China, as a missionary, l found
your Vegetable Pain-Killer most valuable remedy
fort bat fearful scourge. the cholera In administer
ing the medicine, found it most efectual to give a
teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a gill of hot water
sweetened with sugars then, after about fifteen min
utes begin to give abou; tablespoonful of the
mixture every minute until relief was obtained APP
ply hot applications to the extremties. Battle the
stomach with the Pain-Killer, clear and rub the
limbs briskly. OF those who had the cholera, and
took the medicine faithfully in the way stated above
eight out of ten recovered.
Rev. R. TELFoRD, Missionary in China.
DEAR Substituting a long residence in China,
have used yonr valuable Pain Killer both in my own
family and among the Chinese and have found it a
most excellent medicine. III the summer of 1862 and
1868, while residing in Shanghai / found it an
almost certain cure for cholera if used in time In
deed, using it in great many instances, do not re-
member failing in single case. For three years
have been residing in this place. that fifty miles
from physician, and have been obliged often to fall
upon my own resources in SEES of sickness. The
Chinese come to us in grelt numbers for medicine
and advice. Though without medical knowledge
ourselves, the few simple remedies we can command
are so much in advance of their physicians that
we have almost daily applications. We allow them
and opens DOR of usefulness. In drrhoea, collie,
vomiting cholera. coughs. etc. your Pain-Killer has
LAS been my chief medicine. Yours very truly,
Rev. I. P. CRAWFORD, Tungchow. China.
. Those using Pan-killer should strickly observe
the following directions At the commencement of
the disease take a teaspoonful of Pain-Kier in
sugar and water, and then battle freely across the
stomach and bowels with the Pain-killer, clear.
Should the diarrhoea and cramp continue, repeat the
dose every fifteen minutes. In this way the dreadful
sceurge may be checked and the patient relieved in
the course of few hours.
n. B.-Be sure and get the genuine article; and it
is recommended by those who have used the Pain
Killer for the cholera, that in extreme the pa
t1ent take two Tor more teaspoonfuls instead of one.
We invite the attention of the public to this well
tested and unrivalled family medicine.
The PAIN-KILLER is sold by all Druggists and

The decline of gold, and the consequent de-
cline IN the currency price of bonds, is likely to
to make demand for bonds, and particularly
the new five per cents, from new National
banks in the West during the next ten days.
According to the ruling of the Controller of the
Currency, the banks have only until the 18th
inst. to either take or decline the 100000 or
$4,000 900 of bank circulation to be taken yet
ont of the $54,000,000 allowed by the law of
1870. The manipulation of the price of gold
during the past month or two the belief on the
part of bankers that gold must decline largely
this fall and that consequently the currency
price of bonds must soon be much lower, has in
duced the new banks that had determined to
take the additional circulation to hold off as
long as possible from buying the bonds

BALTIMORE, Aug. 1.-THE rain storm which
commenced in this vicinity Tuesday night ragged
with unexampled fury last night. Streets in
various parts of the city were submerged aud
large number of cellars flooded. jones Fails

some places is four and five feet deep, but IN
no instance has it reached above the first floors
of dwellings. The utmost CONSERVATION pre-
vailed for time among the denizeus of Har-
risou and adjacent streets, but about one o'clock
this morning the water subsidized. All railroads
running to this city are more or less damaged
and the detention of mails is more general than

small land slide occurred at Red Cut and Vine
ear Hill, and wash at Elkridge landing, which
threw the Cincinnati express, bound West, OFT
the track No damage was done to the train.
The ST. LOUIS express, due here at ~ p. a.,

washes between Elkridge landing and Aunapo-
lis junction There were two land slides on
the main stems west of the Relay House be-
tween there and lllchcster, and minor breaks
between chichester and Point of Rocks. The
Washington branch is in running order at ten
