For the Blood IS the Life ,

See Deut'y, xii: %. The blood being |
the source from which the system is bailt |
up, and from which we derive our mental |
as well as physical capabilities, how I'M
psrtant that it should be kept pure If it
contain vile, fostering poisons, all organic
functions become enteebled. Settling
upon important organs. as the lungs,
liver, and kidneys, the effect is most dis
astrous. Hence it behooves all to keep
their blood in perfectly healthy con-
dition, and more especially does this APP
ply at this particular season OF the year
than at any other. No matter what the
exciting cause may be, the real cause of
large proportion Of all diseas Is bad
blood. Now, DIR. Pierce does not wish to

WEST GROVE STATION, Iowa.
Dr.. PIERCE, Buffalo, \. Y:
Dear Sir-My wife first became lame
nine years ago. Swelling would appear
and disappear on her hip, and she was
gradually becoming reduced, and her
whole system rotten with disease. In
1871, a swelling broke on her hip, dis
charging large quantities, and since that
time there are several openings. Have
had five doctors, at an expense of s125,
who say nothing will do any good but a
surgical operation.
July l6, 1873, he writes thus My wife
has certainly received !. great benefit
from the use of your Discovery, for she
was not able to get off the bed and was
not expected to live week when she
commenced using it, year ago. She has
been doing most of her work for over six
months. Has used twenty bottles. and
still using it. Her recovery is considered
as almost a miracle, and we attribute it
all to the use of your valuable medicine.

purifier and strength restorer.

THE FIFTH AVENUE TRAGEDY.

A Richmond VA letter to the New
York Herald contributes the following
information in regard to the unforlu-
nate young girl whu, in fit Of jealousy
or anger committed suicide at No. loO
fifth avenue, New York, on Thursday
evening:
"Minnie Roane was native of King
William county, in this State, and
belonged to one Of the most noted f.
+. vs.. Her perents were related
closely to the family of Hon. William
Roane, a former Governor of Virginia.
aud her grand uncle was a Judge of the
State Court Of Appeals, and at one
time n United States Senator. Her
mother died while herself and a sister
uamedBclie wereq quite young to which
may probebly bc attributed the cause
of their misfOrtunes and terrible fates.
About six years ago these two girls
Minnie and Belle, ran away from their
home in King William County, with
the avowed purpose of beginninga a life
of shame and misery. They were pur-
sued, however, and with the aid of
some distant relatives living in this
city were captured and returned to
their home, where, for time, they
were kept under the strictest surveil-
lance. As soon as this was relaxed
they escaped again, and bent upon
leading alife OF sin they entered houses
of i'll fame in this city. Minnie left
here nearly three years ago and went
to st. Louis, and from thence to New
York, where her history since is well
known. Her sister went to Baltimore
and, am informed, threw herself
from the window of a hospital in that
city and was instantly killed. A
brother who was employed in drug
store in this city, took chloroform,
from the effects of which he died. The
family history is replete with terrible
catastrope. and misfortunes."

THE MOBILE LINE.-During the past
summer and fall the managers of this relia-
BILE route have been active in improving
their line, and it is to-day the finest and
best equipped road in the South. Messrs
Clark, Reeve g. Co., of Philadelphia, have
contracts for erecting iron bridges over the
streams between New Orleans and Mobile,
and the work is now being actively pushed
forward, the last shipment of the ironwork
having been made. A superb holel has
been built at Bay st. Louis, where passen-
gers are breakfasted and dined on excellent
fare at reasonable price. The connections
of this line, both by Louisville and Atlanta,
are in the finest order and repair, as it's
prompt arrival and departure daily proves,
the mail and express by this line always
arriving on time. The superior condition
of this line over all others must be recog-
nized by the traveller. The office of the
Mobile line is opposite the City Hotel, cor
ner of Camp and Common streets, where
reliable information can be had.

Hahnville was dedicated TO the worship of
Almighty God on Sunday, the nineteenth
instant, by the Rev. DR.. Daily, assisted by
Rev. Stephen Priestley, Rev. A. Moore and

The Western Union Monopoly,

The poverty-stricken stockholders of the
Western Union Telegraph monopoly are to
be pitied indeed. They have been receiving
for the last year and a half the pittance Of
two per cent quarterly on stock which has
marketed at an average of about seventy
five cents-giving them nearly eleven per
cent on their investment. The centennial
year is opening, however, with prospect
of an immense addition to the telegraphic
business of the country, and the poor stock
holders, in order to increase their slender
revenues, are going to cut down the wages
of the company's employees from Eve to
twenty-five per cent on all salaries over
$500. This is the correct thing. 1t will
save the poor stockholders from the neces-
sity of soliciting aims. 1t will keep down
those pampered aristocrats who now play
on telegraph keys twelve hours day lor
the munifcent salaries OF 500 per annum,
and prevent them from becoming opulent
II they are properly taxed it will rescue
the stockholders from ruin. Yet there are
per cent is too large a dividend in these
hard times, and that the public and the
employees ought to get the benefit of
some of the profits of the business.
Prices of all ordinary commodities have
fallen very much, and why great cor
porations should insist on their pound
OF flesh, while the laboring classes
mo fellow can find out" The public, as a
general thing, has very little sympathy for
the working classes who deserve the most.
There is netion among the richer classes
that the price of stocks should be kept up,
whoever suffers in consequences; and this
feeling finds expression through those news
papers which are run in their interests.
But there are some people who think it
would be more wholesome state of things
if great corporations would be content with
reasonable gains and share surplus accru-
ing benefits with their employees by paying
ducing the prices of serving it.-Nep York

yond recarpeting and painting, il would be
almost impossible to improve the appear
ance of the cabin, as it is one of the most
expensive and beautiful pieces OF work on
the river, having originally cost s75 600.
The contract for constructing the hull
and removing the cabin calls for $60,O0O,
and the machinery, painting and other
large items will swell the total cost of this
floating palace to nearly 100000. These
figures will serve to show the immensity of
the undertaking, and the nerve which it re-
