The judgement Of the public.

Doctors disagree. Each school of medicine has
its own theories, and as these theories differ
widely, it is clear that few, if any Of them, can be
right. But if medical men cannot agree upon any
theory or system of practice, the public find no
difficulty in agreeing as to notorious matters Of
fact. For instance, they have observed for many
years that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters uniformly
cure dyspepsia, constipation rheumatism, bilious
ness, nervous debility, and many other diseases
which the prescriptions Of the pharmacop@ia do
not and cannot cure; and they know therefore that
there can be ne mistake about it. On this point
they are firm and positive. They take their stand
on incontrovertible facts, and they state to one
another verbally, and sometimes by letter, what
they know about relieving and preventing sick
ness with the standard vegetable tonic and alterR-
tive of America.
Here, then, the invalid has a guarantee of value
that can be relied upon, viz the sober Judgment
of the public. After twenty years Of observation
and reflection, the American people pronounce
Hostetter'sB itters the best invigorating and regu-
Iating medicine at their command, and give evil
dence of the faith that is in them by purchasing
more of it than of any other advertised medicine
manufactured on this continent. A large number
Of physicians too, however much they may differ
on other points in therapeutics, admit the extra
ordinary merits of the Bitters as a tonic and alter
alive, and recommend it as a preventive of mala-
tious diseases, and as a remedy in intermittent
and remittent fevers.

The Credit Mobilier.

The Wilson Credit Mobilier Committee made
their report to the House on the Goth of Feb
ruary. The Union Pacific railroad, they say,
cost $50, 000, 600. It's builders received in cash
value not less than 1913, 900, 900, or 4S per cent.
of the cost. In the opionion of the committee,
the company had no right, as against either its
creditors or the minority of its stockholders, to
distribute any portion of its capital as divi-
dends. Still more unjustifiable was it to
squander in dividends money borrowed of the
Government, or on first mortgage bonds.
There is no evidence of m-ismanagement by the
present directors of the road, and the commit
tee see no way in which those who hold stock
which they have bought in good faith can be
disturbed. The report closes with a bill direct
ing the Attorney General to begin a suit imme-
diately for the protection of the interests of
the Government in the road, and the recovery
of the sums of which both the road and the
Government have been ~plundered. Mr.. Swami,
of Maryland, agrees with the committee, so far
as they go, but thinks they fall short of their
duty in not making recommendations for the
treatment of the Congressman who had deal
ings with Cakes AmeS.

Dr.. WALKERS VINEGAR BTTTERs are the
latest result of botanical investigation
and pharmaceutical science. This ex-
traordinary medicine, composed entirely
of vegetable ingredients culled from the
soil of our Pacific territory, is pronounced
a remedy for every disease-not organic
of the stomach, the liver, the bowels,
the respiratory system, the kidneys, the
muscles, and the other organs which
make up the machinery of life. All who
have Witnessed it's effect are in favor of
it's universal adoption as the safest and
most reliable tonic known. Free from
the faint of alcohol, it is nevertheless a
stimulant, though not a dangerous ex-
citant. One thing is certain-no cura-
tive heretofore introduced to the public
through the press has ever obtained, in
so short a time, the celebrity of DIR.

Investment Bonds.

The Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany now has in full operation, with
daily trains, 321 miles of road. A dis
lance of nearly 200 miles more is con-
structed. The Minnesota Section, i'm
mediately upon its completion, entered
upon a satisfactory business, including
local traffic and the large carrying-trade
of the Northwestern British Settlements
and the Hudson Bay Company. The
recently completed section of sixty-fve
miles, on the Pacific Coast, at once COM
mands a profitable business between
Puget Sound and the Columbia River,
heretofore done by coastwise steamers.
On the opening of spring, with more
than 500 miles of Road in regular op-
GRAFTON, the Company will control the
extensive and productive trade of the
Upper Missouri, much of Montana and
the Northwest. The earnings of the
Road for 1873 will be large.
Arrangementsfor pushing construction
vigorously the present year are progress
ing satisfactorily.
OF the nearly Ten Million acres of
land accruing to the Company in con-
virtually constructed, some Two Million
acres, of excellent average quality, are
in market and their sale and settlement
progressing. The average price thus
far realized is s.. sc per acre-which is
at the rate of more than $780, 600 per
mile of road for the whole grant.
The Company has already begun the
process of redeeming and canceling its
First Mortgage Gold Bonds, as they are
now being received at Ito in payment
and exchange for the Company's lands.
With these accomplished results and
most favorable prospects, the Company
is now selling its First Mortgage 7-30
Bonds for the purpose of completing its
line of Road. We recommend them as
O well secured ard unusually profitable
investment. They have the following
elements of strength and safety: They
are a First Mortgage on the Road, It's
Right of Way, Telegraph lines, Equip
ments and Franchises, and a first lien
on its Net Earnings. In addition to
this usually sufficient security there is
pledged for the payment of principal
and interest, a Land Grant of IL, 800
acres per mile of road through the
States, and %, 600 through the Terrific
ries. The rate of interest (seven and
three-tenths per cent. gold) is equal now
to about 81 currency. Gold checks for
the senoi-0nnuGI interest on the Regis
tered Bonds are mailed to the Postoffce
address of the oa0aer.
All marketable securities are received
In exchange on most favorable terms.

A LUDIoRoUs INCIDENT Talking
about heels, rather a ludicrous incident
connected Herewith occurred at the
Illinois reception the other night. The
ball room floor at Wizards was newly
waxed, and badly done at that, so that
the fair ladies and gallant beaux found
their feet sticking to the floor. While the
weaker were held fast, the stronger and
more energetic produced a noise like
unto shooting-crackers, as they moved
about or attempted to dance. This got
to be such a nuisance that the proprietor
called in, and active measures taken
to remedy the trouble. Meal from the
kitchen was procured and sprinkled over
the floor. Young ladies had to be lifted
bodily out of their tracks, in some in
stances leaving their heels on the floor,
while others were pried up with pokers,
uttering little shrieks as if it hurt. Sew
eral enterprising Illinois beaux went to
Mi1burn's and purchased pieces of chalk,
which they rubbed on the soles of the
young ladies' shoes. It presented a
beautiful picture to see an Illinois gen
tleman with his knees stuck fast to the
floor while he whitened the soles of his
love, she balanced most gracefully on
n foot and smiling audibly to the tick
ling process. One maiden lady of a GER
tain age went into Mysteries, and from
that into a hack. She has not been
heard of since Washington Capital.

What Came of a Railroad Accident.

In the year 1854 a terrible railroad ac-
cident occurred at a junction of the
Illinois Central and Michigan Southern
railroad, near Chicago, 40 persons being
killed. The Illinois Legislature, then in
session, took the matter up, and
passed a law requiring, the stop
pingof alltrains atthatand similar places.
A sharp C~hicagoan, seeing a chance
for a speculation, concluded it would be
a good thing to invest there, and he did
SO, paying $50 per acre for one entire
section, and 81 per acre for half of an
adjoining section. The land, to-day, is
worth from s., ZOO to $1,000 per acre,
and Cornell, for so the place is called,
has grown to be one of the most valuable
of suburban villages of Chicago. The
improvements proposed for the present
year embrace a block of brick stores,
over a hundred dwellings, and one or
two factories. And all this from a rail-
road accident.

was 800 aside, each man to shave nine

the latter by just one minute, according
to the decision of the referee. The
quickest work was 3 minutes 36 seconds,
done by Hill ; the longest was 13 min
utes, achieved by the same individual.
Petitions best time was 8 minutes 373
