H. R. Stevens: Dear sir-In expressing my
thanks to you for benefits derived from the use
of VegetIne, and to benefit others, will state:
When eight or nine years old 1 was afflicted
with Scrofula, which made its appearance in
my eyes, face and head, and was pretty near
blind for two years. ALI kinds OF operations
were performed on my eyes, and all to no good
result FINALLY the disease principally settled
in my body, limbs and feet, and at times in an
aggravated way
Last Summer was, from some cause. weak in
my spine and kidneys, and it was at times very
hard to retain the urine. Seeing your advertise
ment in the Commercial bought bottle of tn =
VEGETINE. and commenced using according to
directions, In two or three days obtained
great relief After using four or five bottles, I
noticed it had wonderful effect the rough,
scaly blotches on my body and legs. still use
Vegetine and the numerous sores one after
other disappeared until they were all gone, and
attribute the cure OF the two diseases TO VEG
ET1NE, and nothing else.
If ever affected with anything of the
kind again, I shall try Vegetine the only reli-
able remedy. Once more accept my thanks.
and believe me to be, very respectfully,

- No prominent men of the Repub-
likan party has, as anybody knows of,
discovered President Grant to be a
candidate for a third term, and his
well.known modesty will prevent his
urging himself upon the party for such
a nomination. We think the party is
pretty well satisfied with his admins
tratioD, but it has become a settled
rule to allow a president to retire
from the presidential chair after he
has filed that high position a second
term. President Grant has filled the
Office so sRtisfactorially to the great
mass Of the American people, that the
leaders OF the Democratic party under
stand that his nomination for another
term would be fatal to their hope of
getting into power for several years
There are, however, other Republicans
who can lead their party on to victory,
and one of these will be the nominee
Of the party.

Railway Case in the Supreme
Court,

WASHINGTON, May 8. The Supreme
Court to-day decided the case of the
State of Maryland against the Balti
more and Ohio railroad. The State
claimed deferred payment of $780,
900 as due for the period between 1850
and 1870, being one fifth of the amount
of passenger fare over the Washington
and Baltimore branch of fthe road. The
company refused to pay the amount to
the State on the plea that the tax was
unconstitutional. The Maryland Court
gave Judgment against the company,
and the Supreme Court on appeal af-
firms the decision Of the State Courts.
