A Manual of Health.

An edition of between nine and ten millions
of copies of very useful work is now ready
for gratuitous distribution, and can be had for
the asking at any drug store in the United
States, the British Colonies, Spanish America
or Brazil. The work referred to is Hostetter's
Almanac for 1874. The medical portion of it
treats OF the various ailments to which the hu-
man system is subject, and sets forth the pecu-
liar properties of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
the purest and best tonic at present known
as preventative of health and strength, and
as remedy for debiliR and disease. The AL
manac is printed in al the principal languages
of the civilized world. and reaches a larger
number of families and individuals than any
other medical treatise that ever issued from the
press. No man or wolnAn who has due re-
gard for that choicest of heavens blessings,
bodily vigor, sheald fail to read the plain, SIM
pie and convincing articles which this truly
practical publication contains. The mscella-
neOus matter is varied, instructive and anus
ing, and the calendar department copious and
comprehensive. Hostetter's Almanac is, in
short, household convenience, adapted TO the
use Of all classes and callings. The farmer,
the planter, the miner, the merchant, the me
chanic, the laborer, the professional man, all
need it; and to invalids of both sexes it is lit
orally an article of prime necessity. The med
ical technicalities which render so many med
zeal treatises intended for popular use unintel
ligible to the general reader, have been care
fully avoided in this pamphlet. All is clear,
explicit, torcible, and reconcilable with reason
and common sense
The proprietors, Messrs. Hostetter Smith,
Pittsburg, Pa, on receipt of two cent stamp,
will forward copy by mail to any person who
cannot procure one in his neighborhood.

Franking privilege, has been introduced into
both Houses of Congress, and will become q
law at an early day. The time has not yet ar
rived when raid on newspapers as a means
of popular education can be long tolerated. -
The sudden passage of this rider on the bill re
pealing the Franking law is an evidence of the
wisdom of the Presidents recommendation that
the constitution be altered so that the Pres-
dent can veto any part OF a bill that is objec-
tionable, without vetoing the entire bill, and
that the last twenty-four hours OF each session
shall be devoted solely to the consideration OF
vetoes.
Mr.. Maynard has introduced bill removing
all political disabilities, repeating the test oath
and declaring general amnesty. 1t passed by
vote of 14l to 20 and was sent to the Senate.
Ii it were not that such measure would open
the doors of Congress to such as Jefferson Davis
it would be likely to pass the Senate without
opposition, as it stands, the chances are that it
will become law during the present session.
The world has moved on so far since the war,
that these idols of the past would be likely to
lose most of their idolators, should they be
again thrown into contrast on q common level
with the progressive spirits of the day. The
quisa martyrdom of their disabilities gives tn EN-
the strongest hold on the Southern section of
the country
On motion of Mr.. Myers of Pa, the Execu-
tive Department were directed to report the
expenses consequent on the repeal of the Frank
ing privilege. This is intended no doubt to
show that the Franking privilege ought to be
retained by these Departments so as to avoid
the expense of stamps, weighing and other
vexatlons required in paying the Government
postage by the Government. 1t certainly is
merely taking money out of one pocket of the
Government and putting it in the other, with
the cost thereof added A large clerical force
is required in addition to that under the old
plan OF Franking official matter. LIFE.

1t is curious to see the antics the Democrats
are cutting about the 'back pay" ''salary grab
ofthelast Congress Seventy-seven the ninety
five Democratic members in Congress on the day
of its meeting voted for Fernando Wood, of N. Y,
for Speaker, while Sunset Cox of the same city re-
ceived two votes Mr.. Cox voted against the
sback pay" bill and refused the extra money.
Fernando Wood, when the bill was defeated by
a tie vote, changed his vote and thus made him.
self the author of its passage and then demon
strated his devotion TO il by putting the extra
five thousand dollars in his pocket. Aud thirty
FIVE of these seVenty-seven had followed Mr.
Woods ilustrious example of making themselves
FIVE thousand dollars better off by taking the
money. large portion of the remaining forty
two did not have the opportunity o. doing it,.
Now this vote is very unpalitable to numbers of
honest Democrats, as Fernando Wood is known
to be one of Tweed's-the Democratic High
Priest IN stripes-staff 1t is exceedingly redic-
ulous in the eyes of all honest men when we re-
member the Immaculate howl the Democrats set
up about the "back pay" and attempting to sad
die it on the Republicans
Now Tammany-the pure birds of Tammany
that uBstained cotorie that sent John Morris
sey and Fernando Wood to Congress as its rep
resentatives; that sent ''Boss Tweed" TO the
State Senate as its representative, when his VIII
lainies had been laid bare to the public gaze,
when il was apparent TO all intelligent men that
he had leeced the city out of thirty millions Of
money By his gigantic frauds-or 'chieh he is norc
acearing suit furnished By the Sdte-this self
righteous Tammany assemblies in its sacred Hall
and passes resolutions endorsing the conduct OF
Sunset Cox and Holman Of Indiana in leaving
the Democratic caucus when they saw that it de-
termined to wore for Wood. How CONSTANT
Tammany is 1t is a wonder it did not pay the
same sort of compliment TO Judge Davis for
convictiug and sentencing Tweed to twelve years
confinement.
When the Democracy is obliged 10 lock 10
Tammany for morals in politics il can afford to
make Fernando Wood the leader of the party in
the United States, and the party that can afford
to do that can afford to denounce frauds and
swindes and pocket all the money they can get
out of them.

Remedies for the West.

The President in his message suggested how
the Changers might have some relief eventually
by having the government assume control of
the Erie canal and the canal joining the waters
OF Lake Michigan with those Of the Mississippi.
This of course must be done, as pointed out, by
having the States interested turn the manage
meat of th5 Sc works over to the general govern
ment. This involves the principles that we re-
ferred to in an article last week that was in type
before we read the Presidents message, that is
that there can be no adequate relief to the west
ern farmers except through Congress. But we
do not propose to stop to discuss this subject now.
There are one or two other policies that may
bring remedy in time.
The first is that the farmers of the west shall
turn their attention 10 feeding their grain to
hogs, cattle and sheep and thus put their
produce into bulk that is smaller in size and
more valuable than their grain. The cost of
transporting their crops will be much smaller in
this way than in any other. There will be more
money value in the hog the pork or bacon, the
cattle beef than there will be in the grain that
it will require TO make them fit to butcher and
the freight will be much less. Those interested
directly should form organizations for the pur-
pose of turning the peoples occupations in this
direction.
The rearing of hogs and INDEPENDENTLY
hogs-for home consumption in the Atlantic
States does not prove at all profitable. great
many farmers are discussing with themselves
the question of whether they can afford to raise
their own pork. There are many who consider
it best to have nothing TO do with hogs and to
purchase pork and bacon for home use. If the
west can make the right kind of pork at reason
able rates, let her go at it and they will soon
have the business of furnishing pork for the en-
tire east. A part of her remedy lies in this.
The second is that the west can furnish home
market that will bring better prices to farmers
for their produce and at the same time create
more business for the railroad companies. This
must come through the establishment of manu-
factories in their midst on more extensive scale.
This must be done by the combination of capt.
talists 1t must be entered into cautiously. The
work must be thoroughly appreciated and IN
derstood before it is put into practical working.
We do not desire to intimate that there are no
manufactures in the west, but we do say that
there are nothing like so many as the exigences

:. .. the west to a very lar,


-. 1t will require less enterprise to do for
the west what has been done for New England
in this way. The agricultural wealth OF the
west is unexcelled on this continent. But ac-
cording to the complaints that come up from her
vast prairies her resources of this character are
not profitable to those engaged in the pursuit of
agriculture, because too much of the price of
produce in consumed in paying transportation
to a market The establishment of manufacto-
ries in the west must be a matter of growth. 1t
must be done with prudence, but when once
firmly ixed there will be home market for that
vast region. The formation of these will make
work for railroads that will far exceed that
which is given them for the transportation of
grain.

Sunset Cox endeavored on Tuesday last
to get resolution passed by the House of Rep
resentatives, according belligerent rights to
the Cubans. The House would not suspend
the rules for the purpose. The resolution just
now is certainly ill-timed.
"A bill has been introduced in the Senate
looking to the construction of national rail-
way from New York to Chicago and utltimaely
to Omaha for the purpose of giving cheap
means of transportation to the farmers of the
west. The bill provides for the issue of one
million shares of one hundred dollars each. 1t
also provides that, if il is considered more ex-
pedent, different railway lines between the
points named can be purchased and organized
into one road for this purpose.

SENTENCE OF THE WILMINGTON, DELAWARE,
BANK RoBBERs.--The four Wilmington Dell
bank robbers, lately convicted at New Castle
of an attempt to rob the Delaware National
Bank, in the city of Wilmington, on the night
of the 9TH of November, have been sentenced
to fine, the pillory whipping and Imprisonment.
In the court on Monday morning, when the
me ton for the new trial was called for argu-
ment, Mr.. Higgins, to the surprise of all pres
ent, withdrew the reasons previously filed,
and rested the case with the court.
In the afternoon, about $3.50 o'clock, the pris-
oners, Francis H. Carter, Joseph Lawler, James
Thomas, and Ed. II. Hurlburt, were brought
into court and each sentenced as follows: To
pay to the State of Delaware the costs of prose-
cution, and fine of $500; on Wednesday, 10th
inst, between the hours of ten o'clock A. M.
and five o'clock P. NJ, to and in the pillory
one hour be whipped with forty lashes, and be
mprisoncd for ten years, commencing Decem-
Der 10, 1878, and ending December 9, 1888.
This sentence, with the exception of the
amount of fine, i. the full penalty of the law.
The prisoners received it with their usual COM
posure, and in a nonchalant manner.

Vice President Wilson has been invited
by Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe to make visit
to Florida for his health. This distinguished
female has residence there.
Germany is determined to take very de
cided stand against the operations of our i'm
migration agents among them. Saxony has
already ordered their expulsion. This may
accomplish temporary check upon the flow
of immigrants in this direction, but the Ger
man government must do better for her sub
jects than we can for them if she desires to
keep them upon her own soil.
President Grant again demonstrated his
desire to see the last lingering vestige of the
war of the rebellion wiped out by his recon-
mendatior in his message to Congress that all
disabilities be removed from those engaged in
their nefarious attempt to destroy the Union
The Republic was assaulted by rebellion that
cost US a half million lives and four thousand
million Of dollars, yet no man is punished foi
treason. This is a magnificent and magnani-
nous example of self government controlled
by law and enforced and made powerful by the
will of the people.
Various bills have been introduced in
Congress to repeal portions of the law abolish
ing the frankiug privilege in certain particu
lars and there seems to be disposition among
number Of members to revive the privilege
in ell its uses. While we think that the abo.
lition of the privilege right we think now as
then that the restriction of certain privileges
to newspaper subscribers should be put in
force again, and we regret that our honored
and efficient Post Master General conceived il
to be his duty to promulgate an increase Of
postage on newspapers ola certain class. There
is one bill introduced in the House asking that
newspapers be allowed to circulate free in the
county where they are published. We consid-
err this justice and good policy. This cannot
become the subject of abuse, because it applies
only to actual subscribers.

THAT Costly Cow.-The recent sale at Utica,
N. Y. of the Shorthorn COW, known as the Sth
Duchess of Geneva for $4O 600, illustrates how
much dumb creature may be worth in an age
when men and women are cheap as dirt. If
money is a standard of value, and il seems to be
granted that it is, then there are many politi-
clans with high heads and fine clothes, and
many handsome women wearing garments of
light, who are worth far less, since they would
not bring this amount of money for any purpose
whatever. Indeed, whole drawing-room full
of fashionable people, put up at auction would
not bring so much. All this shows the value of
breeding for best points, and the worthlessness
of breeding without regard to points. Mr.. Ham
monds sheep, Gold Drop, under the hammer,
was richly worth $1,000, not because il was a
sheep, but because the best qualities in many
animals had by care and skill been gathered into
one animal. So of the Duchess she is a concentra-
ton of all that has been discovered valuable in
the Shorthorn stock, and being accumulated in
her body, all these good qualities are capable of
being transmitted and repeated. These choice
qualities are simply economic, for from given
amount of food more flesh and fat are produced
than from any other animal. This is low
standard certainly. That would be high stand
ard, il we had a race Of men which would be
certain to produce most honor, most industry,
most skill, most genteness.- DR.. Cross.
