Treating the Wrong Disease.

Many times women call upon their family
physicians, one with dyspepsia another with
palpitation, another with trouble of the breast
another with pain here and there and in this
way they all present alike to themselves and
their easv-gong and Indifferent doctors, sepa-
rate and distinct diseases, for which he pre-
scribes his pills and potions, assuming them to
be such, when, in reality, they are all symptoms
caused by some uterine disorder and while
they are thus only able perhaps to palate for a
time, they are ignorant of the cause. and ell
courage their practice until large bills are
made, when the suffering patients are no better
in the end, but probably worse for the delay,
treatment, and other complications made, and
which proper medicine directed to the cause
would have entirely removed thereby institut-
ing health and comfort, instead of prolonged
misery.

A srATUE TO HERMANN.

On the sixteenth instant, in Westphalia,

course Of people, there was unveiled statue
Of Germany's ancient hero, Hermann. II

years, Hermann Cor more properly Armin.
ius), became in his youth Roman citizen
of the equestrian order, and served on the
Danube us leader of an auxiliary body OF
the Cherusci. Returning to Germany and
finding his country smarting under the op-
pressions of Varus, he organized an extens-
i've conspiracy. The result of the conspir.
acy was the destruction of three Roman
legions sent to quell the rebellion, and the
suicide in grief of Varus himself. For sew
ersl days, Augustus, in his wailing would
cry, "Varusl give me back my legions n
Four years later Germanicus marched into
Gsul to avenge the fallen, but with no sue
cess. The next year and again the year
after Germanicus returned to the struggle,
with larger and larger armies, but the great
war man Of the forest, with his rude fol-
lowers, always beat back the invaders.
This was the last time that Roman armies
invaded Germany beyond the Rhine Her

Liberator of Germany. Hermann was duly
installed among the heroes Of his country,
and as ages went by, tradition and mythol-
ogy invested him with their peculiar CLAM
our, and threw q special halo over his
name. And, now, after nineteen centuries,
the Germans attest their love for their re-
united country by building statue to the
Liberator who first broke the power Of the
Roman Empire, and gave independence to
Germany. - - =

years, the unity OF Texas, and therefore adj
vocating the simpler and parer repaohcan
system approved BY jefferson and the faith

A GROSS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. COR
RECTED.


The New York Word ascribes the pros
perity OF Texas 10 the use Of SILVER and
gold by the people. Or the contrary, the
use of two descriptions of currency is sim
ply an annoyance. OF late the silver in the
country has been gradually bought up BY
Eastern people and shipped to Wall street,
where il is maze the subject Of speculation
by the government, which discredits paper
currency by ma king customs duties payable
in specie. For all ordinary purposes Of
traffic, and especially in Texan towns, pa
per currency is preferred. The World as
serts that the prosperity Of California and
Of Texas is due to the use Of specie. On
the contrary, the prosperity of Texas is due
TO the steady and rapid infax of popula-
tons driven from the Gulf States by the
terrors of negro government in towns and
Counties. These immigrants bring with
them the wreck of once rich estates con-
yerted into currency, and it's constant diffu-
sion makes Texas prosperous. Then the
sale, in Dallas, Of million bushels of wheat
distributed nearly million dollars about
that village in 3 single month, and since Tex
ans have been taught by protracted hare
times, TO live at home and buy the least posi-
BILE from abroad, the cotton crop as well as q
large share of the enormous grain crop, is o
surplus production, and immigration creates
q home market for farmers which other
states have not. The use of gold as me-
dunn of exchange has not the slightest In.
fuence upon the fortunes Of Texas. In two
thirds of the counties of Texas the people,
because blacks are few in number, can not
only make bread, but bacon for sale or fol-
domestic use. This is impossible wherever
blacks do most abound. Texas sends less
money abroad and therefore has more at
home, in proportion to the number of peo-
pie, than any state Of the South, and we are
inclined to believe that If the New York
World honestly wishes to teach the country
wisely and we'll, it will correct the error
INTO which it has fallen and recite the sim.
pie facts here presented as sufficient ex.
PLANTATION of the wonderful prosperity of q
State of resources as productive as its boun.
faries are imperial.

PAR VALUE.

State warrants are at par, and it is hoped
they will remain so. 1t will be remembered
that the Thirteenth Legislature authorized
the funding of warrants to the amount of
$500, 900 in State bonds, bearing ten per
cent. interest. At the time the Davis adj
ministration expired, capitalists had invested
to the extent of thirty or forty thousand
dollars in these bonds. They were q ''drugn
and continued to remain so until within the
last few months. Money had become so
cheap in the financial centres, being readily
loaned for from one to four per cent. year,
that capitalists have become very diligent
in seeking good interest-paying securities.
The last legislature laid aside the Interna-
tional bond question by an amicable ar
rangement with the company, and since
that time Texas securities have stead
lily increased in value. Confidence
was more universally restored, and when
it became generally understood, in New
York, short time ago, that between four
and five hundred thousand of these fund
ing bonds were still not disposed of, CAPT
talists, with money commanding there only
two or three per cent, naturally became
eager to invest in them. Agents were placed
in this market, warrants eagerly purchased,
and finally brought to par in scramble fol-
them. The result is, that over $500, 600 Of
ten per cent. bonds have lately been OK
changed at the Treasury for the same amount
Of warrants. The revenues received in the
meantime have been used to redeem cou.
pons, and to cash few warrants when pre-
sented for payment. But the debt of the
State has not been reduced. The past leg
islation upon State finances has been inju-
rious. The convention should put stop
to it. Selling bonds to pay debts is suici-
dial, and taxes suficien. to meet all de.
mands upon the State must be imposed to
obviate the necessity for such dangerous
legislation.

IT was the preachers in Illinois that made
most noise about Mr.. Davis's invitation to
speak in that State. They aroused the pas
sions of the ignorant mob, and the intelli-
gent people of the North condemn the con-
duct of the Winnebago Agricultural Society
in unmeasured terms. I. is fortunate that
the incident occurred. It tells Northern IN
telhgence that there are multitude of fools
on the Northern side of the Ohio, and if
Southern people, having no greater oppor-
tunities of observing the worth of citizens
of all portions of the country than the Win
nebsgoans, manifest strong prejudices
against those who have only appeared in
our midst as robbers and thieves and as
leaders Of ignorant blacks, surely our fault,
in the presence of this Winnebago crime,
may be condoaed. r

THE Ledger, we believe i. was, that said

The Ledger, we believe it was, that said
a few days ago, referring to the present
property exemption code of Texas, that it
would rather see these laws preserved and
made perpetual than any on the statute
book of Texas, and we would vote against
any constitution, however wise it might be
in other respects, that did not guarantee to
every head of family, beyond the reach
of creditors, homestead and a reasonable
amount of other property. Every bachelor
editor in the State rejecting on causes that
have prevented his becoming proper citi-
zen, promoting good morals and good gov
eminent BY marriage, declares for the
homestead law. Another of our exchanges
says that the creditor has no right to CON-
plain Of these exemptions. He knows what
they are-he is not bound to extend credit,
and If he does, it is with his eyes open, and
with full knowledge that he cannot look
to any exempt property for his debt. There
fore no wrong or injustice is done the creditor
by these laws. No, let the exemption
laws remain as they are. They are wise,
just and humane, and are the best safe
guard against appropriateness and the credit
system that we have. - 10

A HoUsToN paper justly censures the
habits Of the citizens of that city, engag-
ing In Sunday amusements. Shame on any
town that will allow any such carvings on,
says the Grange Reporter. About this men
may differ. II people amuse themselve
and interfere in nothing with the equal
rights Of others to pray Or preach or dance
or "pluck corn in the fields" it is none
OF the laws business to interpose its strong
arm. Let the church intervene with its
moral power, and this, il wisely directed
and approved by divine authority, must
triumph. But while Germans and Italians
and French populations think these amuse-
ments legitimate, when the church doors
are closed in the afternoon, and while they
interfere in nothing with our approved
modes of observing Sunday as "a day of
rest" We would give them the largest lib
erty. The conduct of those base ball clubs,
constituted Of American rorghs, was doubt
less indefensible, aud the members of these
associations should have been inearcerated
for violations Of the public peace; but be-
yond this the law can hardly 60, and
the dennnciation of the Reporter is surely

RANDALL AND SUNSET cox THE
CONGRESSIONAL SPEAK RRsBIP.

We are much inclined to believe that
Pennsylvania will win honors enough in
making the centennial celebration success
full, without arrogsting to itself the speak
ership Of the next Congress. Mr.. Randall
is an cid line Wing and high tariff exponent
Of Pennsylvania manufacturer and ;ron-
mongers' interests, and was and is the spec
ial fayorite of Mr.. Blaine for the successor
ship. Blaine always recognized Randall
and refused recognition to others, and
made Randall conspicuous IS a leader
Of the Democracy in Congress. Blaine is
the especial agent of the tariff-mongers of
New England, and, therefore, especially
anxious that Randall be elected, and then,
while Congressmen living in Texas lost In
mileage all they made and more by voting
for the back salary grab, yet in the East
this measure has made very many Radical
Congressman most odious. Randall voted
for the back salary grab and retained the
money. and Blaine wishes to make the
Democratic Congress endorse back salary
grabber, This would silence, on this ques-
ton, the press and party leaders of Democ-
rscy forever. But the Democratic party
will not be enrspped into the support of
Randall, the protectionist, and the promi-
hence he now has is due to the Radical press
and to that of Pennsylvania and to the
Radical Speaker Blaine. 1t is this Radical
Pennsylvania newspaper press that resorts
to all conceivable tricks and devices to
withdraw national attention from Congress
man Samuel s. Cox. He is a scholar, an
orator, a parliamentarian and statesman.
There is nothing hanging to his coat-tails.
In and out Of Congress he always gave
character and dignity to the Democratic
party. He has represented the party in
official life over twenty-five years, and
during all that time his character has
remained spotless and white as snow.
His worst enemy cannot utter q word
against MIN. Hts services 10 tho party
have been most valuable. While on the
stump he has the great faculty, 10y his logic,
his grace, and happy combination of wit
and gentleness, OF making converts. These
are gifts that few public men possess. In
Connecticut it is frankly conceded that the
State was carried for the Democrats by the
great services which Mr.. Cox rendered dur
ing the late campaign. Whether on the
stump or in the halls of Congress Mr.. Cox
is invincible. The Republicans know this,
sud they dread the popularity that he would
bring to the Democrat; party as Speaker
of the House of Representatives. He would
make no mistake, no blunder. We doubt
IL he ever Numbered in his life. He would
enter into no iutrigues nor be the tool OF
any combination. The popular demand is
that he be made Speaker, and he viii be I;
and all the chicanery and humbug that Re
publican leaders can use to defeat that re-
sult will be labor Inst.
