DISEASES oE The BLOOD.

"The Blood is the Life.' When this sou rec
is corrupted, the painful and sorroW-prodncing
effects are visible in many shapes. The null
tifarious forms in which it manifesty itself,
would form subjects upon which might
write volumes. But as all the varied forms Of
disease which depend upon bad blood are
cured, or best treated, by such n Medicines as
take from this fluid and excrete from the sys-
tenn the noxious elements, it Is not Of practi-
cal Importance that / should describe each.
For instance, medical authors describe about
fifty varieties Of skin diseass but as they all
require for their cure very simiIar treatment,
it Is Of no practical utility to know lust what
name to apply to a eertaJ form Of skin dis
ease, so you know how Jest to cure it. Then
again / might go Cd and describe various
kinds OF scrofuloqs sores, fever sores, white
swellings, enlarged glands, and ulcers Of va
rying appearance; ; might describe how viru-
lent poison may show itself in various forms
of eruptions, ulcers, sore throat, bony tumors,
etc; bat aS all these various appearing mani
festationa of bad blood are cured by uniform
means, deem such a course Unnecessary.
Thoroughly cleanse the blood, which is the
great fountain Of life, and good digestion, 4
fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital strength, and
soundness of constitution, will all return to
U.s. For this purpose DIR. Pierce's Golden

pre-eminently the articles needed. They are

is the most popular monarch in
Europe to-day, and, what is better,
be deserves the respect and affection
which are felt for him.

Without an increase another an

The United States has increased

Here is an increase of 1923, ,000,O ,OO0,-
900 in 90 years, and it is a curious
fact that the increase in value was
$5,000,000,000 during the decade
which witnessed our civil war more
than the decade that Immediately
preceded it. While we are thus ex-
panding, as a nation, in population
and commerce, far more rapidly than
any other people on the globe, is it
not strange that there should be
man, in or out of Congress, who
would contract the financial repre-
sentative of our wealth and com
merce to the amount or proportion
we possessed before the war?
1t would be quite as sensible, and
no more disastrous to the interests
of the nation, to prohibit the use of
more railroads, ships, houses, farms,
bridges, or railroad cars than we had
in 1860, than it is to restrict our cur
rency to the amount then needed and
used.
England made two abortive at
tempts to resume specie payments
during her long suspension, while
the exchanges were against her and
in favor Of the Continent. So soon
as the exchanges were turned in her
favor, paper and specie Immediately
became equal in value, the same as
it will here as soon as our imports
and foreign interests are fairly and
permanently covered by our exports.
No other scheme can or ever will
bring our paper equivalent to gold.
Yet so soon as this state of ex-
change with Europe is fairly estab-
lished and there is no further for
eign demand for specie the premium
on gold will instantly cease, and our
paper and coin will be on a par. Let
all the so-called fnanciers of the
world present their plans, and in the
end they must come back to the
simple proposition of buying less
than we sell before we can get to a
sound financial condition. But if
we try to bring about specie pay
ments by contraction, we will i'm
poverish our people, overthrow the
Republican party, create rank and
blind reaction that will endanger all
sound interests and possibly endan-
ger the national debt. The Repub-
lican party, having the power,
ought to correct the evil themselves.
Having assumed the entire control
over the finances of the country the
friends Of the national debt look to
them to protect and ultimately pay
it. No greater calamity could oc
cur to this country than to to deliver
its financial interests into the hands
of the party who could elect Tweed,
reeking with robbery and theft to to
the Senate of New York. Hence the
great importance of so managing
our affairs as to retain the power
necessary to the protection of It's
great financial interests.

TEMPERANCE MASS MEET
ING.
The Women in Council.

II anything had been lacking to prove that
great interest had been awakened in the
cause of temperance in this city, the meeting
on Monday night last would have furnished
the proof. The hall was filed to its fullest
capacity, even the gallery being occupied, and
good order and decorum was generally ob-
served.
The ladies Of the League had assembled at
an early hour in the basement Of the Presby-
terian church, tor season of prayer. At a
quarter past seven they were observed leaving
the church In couples and thus two and two
they proceeded down Garrison street to Front,
along Front to State and up State to the Hall.
There were nearly one hundred in procession,
and they awakened considerable interest as
they proceeded on their way.
Arrived at the Hall, they occupied seats
near the front, and the President and Vice
Presidents occupied the stage, supported by
the ministry. The hour for commencing the
exercises having arrived, Mrs. Winters, the
President, called the meeting to order and in
vitsd the audience to join in singing "AlI
Hail the Power Of Jesus Name" after which
Rev. Bushnell offered up q fervent prayer.
Mrs. Winters then read the second chapter Of
Habakuk, and the audience then sang "Stand
up for Jesus"

Rev. EDWARD BEEcHER, D. D..
takes the ground, in a recent article
in the Christian UnsOH, that there is
no authority for the doctrine OF
eternal punishment-the word a5on
which has hitherto been translated
to mean eternity, means life. The
Rev. Beecher traces the word to the
authors who lived several hundred
years before the christian era, and
down to the New Testament writers
and asserts that the word never
meant eternity, but that it meant the
everything One:-God.
The Reverend Edward has only
arrived at the same conclusion that
other able authors reached years
ago, and we're, therefore, pronounced
heritical.

tent made Glorious
by the arrival of beautiful spring,
with its balmy days, warm showers,
green fields and budding trees. But
with all this beauty and brightness
comes work. The gardens must be
made, lawns cleared up, house
cleaning, painting, papering, white
washing, &c., to be done. For as
Nature awakens to new life and puts
on fresh livery, so we, naturally,
initiate her in this; and what more
fitting example could we follow than
hers ?
Now, such being the case, it is a
matter of the greatest Importance to
know how best to do this, and where
to procure the necessary materials of
the best quality, and at the same
time at the least cost. That ''the
best is the cheapest in the end" is q
fact accepted and acknowledged by
all. First it is the best at the begin
ming, lasts longer, costs no more for
the labor to apply than poor mate
rials, and lastly, there is very little
difference in the first cost.
am speaking now of paints in
particular. Do you want to paint
white? There is no better or cheap
er made than the Phoenix Brand Of
Eckstein Hills q Co., for which 1
am special agent,
1t has now been triedin this city
and county for ten years, and nsver
for once, has it failed to give entire
satisfaction. And 1 do firmly be-
lieYe and assert there is no better
lead made. For oolored paints, for
cottages, DC, we have our own
colored paints, which, for durability
and cheapness, far excel all liquid or
chemical paints. They never fade or
peel, and retain their lustre for years.
Zinc Paint, Gralning Colors, Var
nishes, and Brushes to use them, al
ways on hand, Of the best quality,
and at the lowest price. So much
for paints.
Now, after painting, the smoky
walls must be papered and decorated; /;
whitewash won't do, it rubs of, and
soon looks us bad as ever. Ihave the
largest and best variety of Wall Pa
per ever brought to this city, which
must be sold at the lowest prices.
Now this is saying good deal, but if
you think of papering, don't buy un-
til you look at my samples, and you
will be convinced that this statement
is true. But doyou ask where is this
place ? Where are such bargains to
be had ? And where only are the
best goods kept Why Where

PROCEEDINGS in Bankruptcy have
been commenced against the
Spragues, and the result will be to
throw $4,000 people out of employ
ment-and still the cry Of prOfessed
finaneiers is in favor of contraction
of the currency, and further ruin.
New Workers and other Eastern peo-
pie say it is very dull, and yet they
claim to have plenty Of money in
bank. They may have plenty OF
money In bank, but keep it there
subject to day loans or loans on call.
It does not benefit manufactures nor
does it benefit the West, where money
is scarce, and hard to get at. 1t is
the scarceness of money in the West,
and its abundance in the East, that
occasions the dullness. The East
is dependent on the West for the
sale ofits goods, but the West has
little money to buy with and hence
buys little. The East may yet learn
a lesson in finance from the dullness
forced upon it by want Of money in
the West.

CoNeREss-On the 25th the Sen
ate received memorials from iron,
coal and and other companies in
Ohio, asking for an increase of the
volume ofcurrency on account Of the
Rtagnation in business. It was
signed by 81 firms. A like memo
rial was presented from the large
business meeting at Indian 4polis.
The bill providing for resumption
and reissue of United States notes,
and for free banking, was discussed
and several votes on amendments
had. indicating disposition to yield
to the popular wish and increase the
volume of the currency somewhat.
In the House the morning hour
having expired, the bill to regulate
inter state railroad commerce was
taken up, but a vote was not reached.
On the 26th a petition from 300
business men of New York was pre-
sented to the Senate, asking for more
currency and free banking. A bill
10 enable New Mexico to form a
constitution and State Government
was presented. Senate resumed the
consideration ofthe bill free bank
ing, &c, and various amendments
were offered, but the voting still
showed tendency to increase the
volume of currency. In the House
the bill to regulate commerce by rail
road among the States, was passed
yeas 12I, nays 1l6. The bill pro-
vides for Board Of Railroad Com
missioners to be appointed by the
President, who shall be residents of
nine judicial districts of the United
States. and who shall have no inte-
rests in stocks or bonds of railroads
or transportation companies. The
board is to institute q thorough in
Yestiqation into tie rates, &C., of car
rvinG freight and passengers, and
prescribe q maximum fair rate Of
charges which shall shall govern the
charges ofthe companies. The sched-
ule thus agreed upon shall be printed
and kept posted up in all depots and
company offices, The Legislative
appropriation bill consumed the
balance Of the day.
The Senate spent the 9th in dis
cussing the currency and free bank
lug bill, but made no material pro-
-eress. Adjourned till Monday. The
House took up the bill to amend the
several acts providing a national
currency and to establish free bank
ing which was discussed till adjorn-
