cart-oad Of dispositions and at the further trial OF that
case yesterday Mr. Hoar informed the defense that he
should increase the bulk OF documentary evidence
by several dispositions designed TO explain the

THE PRESIDENTS REPORT.

The students are divided into three classes-intro

three years of study and these are subdvded
into six grades the first being the lowest and the sixth

A DEATHS HEAD AND CRossBoNEs

A DEATHS HEAD AND CRossBoNEs ought. to be the trade mark of every dealer in Rum Bitters. But no to proclaim their real mission would ruin them, 80 theygsa under false eolors, and do their adly work sure eptitiotls- 1y. Fortunately their triumphs over credulity are nearly at an end. Ever since the introduction of DR. WALKER's CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BTrTERs the sale of all the burning fluids advertised as " tonics" has been rapidly declining. They are still the unwholesome solace of individuals who wish to satisfy morbid appetite for strong drink, with out conafromising their responsibility ]; but the sick are everywhere discarding them, and adopting the VINEGAR BiT- TIERS. The success of this wonderful vegetable remedy astonishes Dr. Wal ker himself. He believed, when he gave it to- the world, that it was an unequalle led tonic, free from the objec- tions urged against the medicated fire waters and di1utions of strychnine, quinine and other powerful alkaloids employed in modern practice ; but he scarcely expected that it would prove a specific for chronic dyspepsia, liver complaint, incipient consumption, con frnea rheumatism, gout, scrofula, nervous affections, general debility, and all diseases that disorders, without destroying, the vital machinery. Yet this, unless thousands of witnesses have conspireds to deceive the public, is actually the case.-Cona.

Rich Men for the Senate.

Commenting on the prevailing opin- ion that only rich men can get into the United States Senate, nowadays, The Sd1e Fraecisco Bulletin goes over the list of" wealthy" Senators
 It has come to this that, as elections are now managed in large number of the States, the candidate must either have wealth or he must be the friend of some powerful corporation. No mat ter how much ability one may have or how superior he may be in all that would make good legislator, there is small chance for him without money. If he is poor and honest, there is less hope for ninn. The Senate is filing up with inferior men, who, having reached office corruptly, will thereafter legislate corruptly. If they were the tools of corporations before election, they will be nothing less afterward. The remedy is with the people, just where the evil has originated. If they are willing to perpetuate this reign of fraud, then there is no hope of reform. The worst men in the community will have far better chance of going to the Senate than the best. The recent exposures of bribery will not mend matters. Nor can, any reform touching the purity of elections be expected to originate in the Senate when so large a number of that body are more or less tainted by election tricks. The popular anathemas go for nothing unless in some way a re- form can be initiated right down among the people. s~ s5+5 FAksEs 5s7
