The Following Approved Statement
Will Speak for Itself:

BOSTON, March %, 1874.
H. r. STEVENS, Esq:
Dear SRA few days after the 4th OF July last
1 got my leg hurt by a f5lOw-WOrkman letting a
plank fan, whick struck me on the knee. For
four months following / was under the treat
msnt Of the physicians at the DispensarV, at
the end OF which time they told me they could
do nothing more for ne, and that must 90 to
the hospital and have my leg amPutated
above the knee. was removed to the hospital,
and laid there ten weeks under the treatment
OF the best skill the hospital afforded, and no
pen can describe the great suffering endured.
My leg was swollen to nearly the size Of my
body, and all the surface Of my knee turned
black, and / was told that my knee was so dis
eased as TO render il impossible to save my leg,
and unless il was amputated soon L would
die. When hrst went 20 the hospital, raised
such an object on 70 the amputatiOn Of my leg
they consented to try one alternative, which was
TO cut out all the diseased flesh and replace IL
with sound flesh from the other leg. They did
cut six pieces from my well leg and place it
where the diseased flesh had been removed, but
the bone was 50 much diseased that this expert
ment proved failure, and was removed TO my
home in hopeless condition. Other physicians
we're then employed, until the money which
had saved from my earnings had been expend-
ed, and one thing after another disposed Of TO
pay doctors bills, until my family was in
destitute condition, with no hope for myself ex-
cept relief by death. At this time Mr.. Hill,
the police officer in my street, called in to
see me, and after rendering pecuniary assist
ance to my family, brought some VEGETIHE for
me, urging me 70 give IL a 1alLntul Ulals saying
when those two bottles were gone he would see
that had some more. After had been taking
the VEGETINE three days, the ulcers in my knee
commenced 70 discharge, and I cannot begin 70
describe the frightful quantity that was dis
charged during the following eight DAYS, and
though previously I had suffered indescribable
pain, rendering sleep impossible, after taking
the VEGETIHE three days, the pain all left me
and my whole complaint seemed to be pouring
out of me with this corrupted matter. The
VEGETINE was not only forcing disease from
me, but IL gave me strength from day TO day.
When 1 commenced on the fourth bottle Of
VEGETINE, the swelling had all left my leg, and
the sore, which covered the whole surface Of my
knee, commenced to heal next 20 the bone. am
now on the sixth bottle, the sore is entirely
healed, and nv health so improved as to enable
me to walk all over town. The VeEetfne has
saved my life. IL has cured my leg and
restored me to health: my knee bears the marks
Of my great suffering; and il win always afford
me pleasure TO show the proof Of what this good
medicine has done for me.
am dear sir, very gratefully,
a

THE GEORGIA BENEDICT ARNOLD.

The resolution recognizing Kellogg as Gov
ernor of Louisiana would not have further
dlsgraced the present expiring Congress but
for that Southern dough-face and snake in
the grass, Alexander II. Stephens. The course
of that talented but thoroughly crotchety and
unreliable individual ever since he entered
public life Will be study for future histo-
rlans who will be puzzled to decide whether
the man was an insane enthusiast or corrupt
politician. Perhaps the true explanation of
MIR. Stephenss extraordinary antics before the
war, when he prevented a settlement of the
question of slavery in the newly acquired
territories and thereby opened the Pandora's
box that ultimately led to secession; during
the war when, as Vice President of the South
ern Confederacy, he did all he could in an IN
demanded and casuis,ical way to impede the
success OF a revolution of which he was one of
the ofhcial heads or since the war, when he
has unbushingly pandered to Grants aspira-
tons for third term, and curried favor with
the Southern carpet-baggers and their black
and-tan followers true explanation of
the extraordinary conduct of that erratic
genius, is to be sought in the intense egotism
and the huge vanity of the man. .4,H Cosar
ala nlAlus seems to have been the motto mon
which this gifted son of the South has acted
throughout. Whenever he has not been ii.
lowed to lead, he has invariably used his I'M
questionably great abilities TO crush every
movement originated by his own party friends.
A chronic invalid, apparently cllnging to life by
the slenderest Of threads, he has always been
a constitutional grumbler and fault-fnder,
though he has never been able to expoundany
coherent policy for the guidance OF those he |
assumed to lead. His last ground and lofty
tumblng act and double somersault on the |
Louisiana election report should settle his
status hereafter as the Benedict Arnold of the
South, rs a man who, physically and morally
rotten, like BroWnlow, has finally succeeded
IN sinking deeper into the Radical cesspool
than even that fostering specimen of malig-
nant scalawasgery.

After having ta'.en the OATH OF Office M.

Protest.
\ The undersigned request that the following
protest be spread u9on the minutes of the
Senate.
They protest that VIM. T. Kellogg has never
been and is not the legal or de j,ue Governor
OF the State Of Louisiana, and that the exist

created by the suff:ages Of the people, but is
the result Of the illegal and unconstitutional

Some objections were made to the reading !!
of the protest: but Antoine overruled them as
being out of order-that it was the right of ,
Senator'S to enter protests, and the protest
must be properly before the Senate. 50 that
action might be taken on it.
The protest was then read by Secretary
Bechte.
Burch moved that the protest be spread
upon the minutes. lie said that he believed
that it was the constitutional right OF Sen
ators to protest.
Considerable objection was made to the
motion.
Burch explained that the mere placing of
; protes: On the Journal was quit. different
thing from. its adoption by a majority Of the ,
Senate.
Brewster moved 70 table the protest subject

oosed it. He thought tina. it was entered
merely for political capital
Burch made the point Of order that oppc-

CONSERVATIVE CAUCUS.

At III o'clock the Conservative Caucus was
called to order By Speaker Wilt. Forty-six
| members answered to their names. No bust
ness being on hand, the Caucus, on motion Of
Gen. Young adjourned untI to-day, at III
o'clock.
: IN answer 10 Gen. ScheucG's defense of now
he came to be the author OF a treatise on
| poker playing, % london correspondent of
the Nation says Whether Gen Schenck
wrote his treatise ae the request of a lady of
high position in the London world or not is
OF no consequence. But it is within nv
knowledge that Gen. Schenck's authorship Of
the poker pamphlet was notorious, and that
copies OF it were in his possession and were
given away by him. That being the case
how is his responsibility for it to be evaded
have seen copy which had been presented
by Gen. Schenck to an English lady with her
name IN his handwriting on the cover.
Nor ~ Cen. Schenck believed to play
usually for ''pennies and siXpences" His
reputation as that OF a man who PLAYS for
more money than he can afford to lose. 50
true IS this latter statement that certain other
ugly stories about Gen. Schencks money at
fairs have been thought to be based on, or are
confirmed by, the account of his gambling
habits. Referring to other causes of Schenck's
unpopularity in public and private life the
writer says: "Iou can scarcely hear Gen.
Schencks name mentioned without an ey- !
ploson Of wrath or sheer or laugh or an !
expression of amusement that he is Still kept

upon man who was lying on the ground, |
and whom at oace supposed to be dead. On
drawing near to him, however, | perceived he

audible voice, whether | had any snuff with
me? When | gave negative answer he fell
back into his former condition. | now went
IN search OF snuff, and was fortunate enough
to meet peasant. who kindly came with me
to the faintIng man and gave him some
pinches of snuff The man soon recovered
ard then be told me that he had to travel a
certain distance as messenger, and on start
ing in the morning had forgotten to take his

came his craving for snuff that he was com

Whitewash-

Housekeepers are often obliged to
delay house~cleaning in the spring and
fall because they have no lime at hand
to whitewash with, and it is not always
convenient for men to leave their work
to go after it; neither is it always to be
had ] have found it convenient to
get more lime than I wish to use up at
once, and slack it with boiling water
the same as usual and set it away in a
jar OF other convenient vessel in the
cellar; cover it up to keep oat the dust
and let it remain until l wish it for use
again. 1t will keep any length Of time.
The only precaution to be observed it
to keep the lime covered with water to
the depth Of several inches, and look at
it occasionally to-see that the water has
not been absorbed by the lime, and put
on more if needed. If it gets dry your
labor has been in vain. 1t is very
handy to have lime thus prepared, as it
is ready TO use for anything, and is just
as nice to whitewash with as if it was
Just made.

A FIERY, MULE.-A bad little boy in
Portland Lit pack of shooting crackers
and threw them into the street to see
them $50 off" One of Ike Batman' s
mules came along and swallowed them
before they went off. The mule walk
ed about fifteen feet and stopped. Ev-
erytlniug wasn't acting right inside. He
began to taste the smoke of firescracks
ers. He laid his left ear around against
his ribs and heard something. 1t was
them crackers having fun. The mule
picked out about three and half miles
of straight road and started. A negro
met him about a mile the other side of
the almshonse, going sonth, white with
perspiration, with streams of smoke
shooting out Of his nostrels, ears and
mouth. Ike found his mule, yesterday
morning, sticking half way through a
farm house near Paddy's Run, and still
smoking. The man had got his family
out and put EN- into lot of trees. Ike
hauled his mule home when he got cool
enough, on dray. The man is going
to move his house further back off the
road, and his wife and eldest daughter
will be baptized when the weather gets
warm.

HoUsEs-The modern house is except
in few special instances, a colder place
to live in than the houses of century
ago. The reason Of this is obvious
enough. A cold house almost always
means badly built house. Either the
walls are too thin, or the woodwork
does not fit properly, or the doors and
windows are badly arranged, or the fire.
places are not constructed so as to give
out enough heat. Of these defects the
first and last are the most universal and
the most important. The last person
consulted in building house is usually
the man who has to live in it. In a
great majority Of cases, at all events in
towns, the occupier knows nothing of
construction of his house. 1t was built
before his time, and as all the houses
look pretty much alike when they have
once bean inhabited, he has no means
of informing himself upon the subject
Even when he has the means, he is not
materially better off He can, it is true,
go and examine halfbuilt house with
view of taking it when it is finished !;
but when he discovers, as he certainly
will, that the walls are not the thickness
that will enable them to resist the
extremities of the weather, he has real~
ly the option Of refusing it. If he does
not take that house, he must take ans
other in which the deficiency is equally
as great. There is, virtually no compe.
tition among builders.
Houses aye too costly things to be
built except when there is a fair certain
ty that they will be let. Take it or
leave it, is almost everywhere the alter
native proposed by the builder to the
tenant, and if the latter elects to leave 1t
he usually finds it is only to incur the
obligation OF choosing whether to take
or leave something exactly similar only
a few streets off. Consequently there
is no motive for one builder to provide
better houses than another, except such
as may be supplied by prudent desire
to make the first outlay go as far as
possible.
