Treating the WrOngDiseasc

Many times women Lcall upon their
tam lily physicians, one with dyspepsia
another with palpitation, another with
trouble OF the breast, another with pain
here and there, and in this way they all
present alike to themselves and their
easy-going and indifferent doctors, sepa-
rate and distinct diseases, for which he
prescribes his pills and potions, assum-
ing them to be such, when, in reality,
they are all symptoms caused by some
uterine disorder; and while they are
thus only able perhaps to palate for q
time, they are ignorant OF the cause, and
encourage their practice until large bills
are made, when the suffering patients
are no better in the end, but probably
worse for the delay, treatment and other
complications made, and, which q
proper medicine directed TO the cause
would have entirely removed, thereby
instituting health and comfort instead
of prolonged misery.

The National Centennial.

When the proposition to celebrate the first centennial anniversary of American Independence by a grand international Exposition of arts, industry, and science, pressed, in view of the general ill success which previous undertakings of this char acter have met with, that, instead of draw ing the attention of the world to the won derful progress which has attended our hundred years life as a nation. we shOuId make ourselves ridiculous by adding more to the list of failures in this line. Whether or not such fears have now vanished, they ought, at least, not to cause us to divide our energies in the work which has now proceeded so far that to abandon it would be itself a disgrace. There is no inherent reason why this kind of enterprise should not be successful. In every instance of failure which has heretofore occurred, the result can be traced to defective or dishon- est management.
 The integrity and ability of the men to whom has been confined the management Of our great Exposition furnish powerful assurance that the utmost care and dil- igence will be used to guard against dis honest or unW1se practices. General J. R. HaWley, the Chairman of the Centennial Commission, is known all over the coun- try as one Of the most incOrruptible men in public life-a thoroughly patriotic and public spirited citizen. The names of the gentlemen comprising the Centennial DOelII Ol T IldIlCe, JuOUSn some or them are not widely known, are household words among their fellow-citizens, and are VOuched for as men of the highest integ- rity and capacity. Several of them are able to give nearly the whole of their time to the great task they have undertaken, and will not be sparing of their own re- sources to insure success. PennSylvania has herself advanced three and half mill lions of dollars Of the fund necessary, and promises to increase her share to at least four millions. It deserves to be said in favor of this enterprise that, unlike so many other great schemes formed nOwa- days, it has no savor of jObbery about it. All who contribute towards carrying it for ward have a voice in the management of the funds in proportion to the amount of their contribution. It is not proposed to impose taxes upon the people to further the project, but to let each man say for himself whether he believes it to be feasi- ble and is willing to aid in carrying it out.
 A State Committee has been appointed to secure the cooperation of California. The names Of the gentlemen on this com mittee are we'll chosen. They will do their work faithfully and honestly. California has @ strong interest in doing her share, for the Exposition will afford her rare op- pOrtunity of displaying to the world her marvellous capacities and resources. We bespeak a generous response to the appeal of the Committee for subscriptions.

Gen. Crooks Brigadiership.
From The Washington Star.l

In accordance with the desire of the peo- pie of the Pacific States and Territories, and as recognition of long, valuable and l successful service in Indian warfare. the President has appointed Lieut.. Col. Geo. Crook, of the 23d U. $. Infantry, to be a brigadier general, in place of Gen. St. Geo. Cooke, retired. Gen. Crooks campaigns in Oregon and Arizona have shown high order of ability, and it will be conceded that he has well earned his promotion. He has long been serving on his brevet rank as major general.
 From Mining Life, Silver City, N. MI
 To the people of Arizona and New Mex icO, especially of Grant county, this is the best news heard for a long time The pro- motion of Gen. Crook is just tribute to the ability and general success of this de- servedly popular officer He now occupies that position which his services have so long entitled him to hold. If The is retain ed in command of Arizona, our country will hencetorth suffer but very little from the Apaches of that Territory.
 We rejoice with our neighbors of AriZO- ma, and like them, return thanks to the President for this practical recognition of the interests of the western people.
 From The Rocky Mountain News.I
 General Crooks promotion will meet with the unanimous approval of the west A truer soldier, or a more Skillful officer never drew a sword. It is especially un- IOTJuudIS GndG ue IS to De removed rom the west. The cOnquerOr of the Apaches is too experienced an Indian campaigner to be sent to the peaceful shores of the lakes. Let Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico be made into department, and its command given to Brigadier-General George Crook.
 The News is informed that the appoint ment assures and strengthens the General in command of the Department of Ari- zona. The suggestion about the new de- partment is of course complimentary, if not desirable or likely to be adopted.-ED. CITIZEN.
 From The Arizona Miner.l
 Last mail brought us the pleasing intel igence of the promotion of Lieutenant Colonel George Crook to the rank of Brig adier-General; vacancy having occur red by the placing of General Philip St. George Cooke upon the retired list. This meritOriOus promotion will be source of pleasure to every AriZOnan. In no one in- stance in the history of our country's h. dian wars has any officer been attended with such a succession of successes The campaigns of General Crook have invari- ably resulted in much good, have been de- cisive, and in due time he has cComplish- ed all that could be done. His great abili- ty needs no comment from us. He has been judged by those best qualified to de- termine upon the worth of an officer and their verdict comes to us in his prordctiiors@ We extend to General Crook the hand of reorganization.

 And that brings me down to another question the late or pending financial disturbance. Col. Scott came home to find further npleaSantnesS, l think I told you what he told me about the Texas Pa ciic bonds? That he had ten millions ne- gOtiated at good price, but before the pa- pers were signed the Cooke, < Co. collapse came along by cable, and Scott said to wait day or twO," Well, at last ac- counts, that day or two was still too much The day was set to meet in Paris for the fn2l act, but hence these tears" Scott took the case philOsOphically, playing eu- chre with his usual spirit, luck and skill, apparently feeling that he would do some thing to get even as soon aS ashore. He de- velOped into the good graces of all on board-1s most worthy man among men, and 1t was only characteristic of human nature perhaps that while he was gone and during the crash, half @ dozen persons whom he took out of the gutter and help ed to wealth and position, did all they could to stab him in the back. So he must have felt sort Of wolfish the beginning of the present week. How things are or will be, remains to be learned. Pennsylvania Central stock shrunk about fifteen per cent, and on Monday greenbacks were so scarce that I had to take checks on the best bank in Philadelphia for the little balance due on my letter of credit. I do not understand the great question of finance, but something is evidently more or less rotten outside of Denmark Had my letter been on Jay Cooke x Co.,, as I was recommended at first, I would now be in the little republic of Switzerland wait ing for something to turn up; perhaps in Byron's prison of Chiffon. If ever I get a corner on Byron I'll bust his spirit vault if h-l pops. That's all. w.
