PUBLIC REPORT
OF A POLICEMAN,

have not enjoyed good health for several years
past, yet have not allowed 1t to interfere with my
labor. Every one belonging to the laboring class
knows the Inconvenience Of being obliged to labor
when the body from debility, almost refuses to per-
form It's daily task. never was believer in dos
Ing with medicines; but having heard the vEGKrTNE
spoken of 30 highly, was determined to try it, and
shall never regret that determination. As tonic
(Which every one needs at some tinH) 1t surpases
anything ever heard Of. 1t invlgorates the whole
system It IL great cleanser and purifier OF the
blood. There are many OF my acqualntances who
have taken It, and all unite in praise OF It's sasfac
tory effect.
Especially among the aged class OF people, 1t i'm
parts to them the one thing most needful in old
age-niRhts Of calm, sweet repose, thereby
strengthening the mind as well as the body. One
aged lady, who has been suffering through life from
scrofula, and has become blind from Its effects,
having tried many remedies with no favorable re-
suit, was induced by friends to try the vEdRrISE.
After taking few bottles, she obtained such great
relief that she expressed wish for her sight, that
she might be able to look upon the man who had
sent her such a blessing.
Yours respectfully.

Mr.. Charles Francis Adams, Jr., has
a knack for working up statistics that
make his lectures ON railroads o. en-
shows by the oflicia! tables that II q
person travelled as q passenger on
Massachusetts, railroads eight hun
dred miles day every day of his life,
he would, by doctrine of chances, be
seventy years old before he would re-
ceive an injury in railroad accident.
French statistics showed that STAGE
coach travelling was at least fifty
times as dangerous rs travelling by
rail. The danger Of being murdered
in Massachusetts, was greater by far
than that Of being killed in q railroad
accident. In 1873 the railroads car.
ried 100000 passengers without
killing one; in the same year in Bos-
ton alone five persons were killed by
:umbling down straira, seven by fall
ing out of windows. In fact, Mr..
Adams figures seem to prove that
there is not much safer place of ref.
uge in the world than Massachusetts,

To know that my name was forgotten

And wish they could see me again?

Where NO longer I'm seen upon Change?
And do those who were wont to assist me
Say, "IIis conducts internally etrangc?'
Does the Shylock who loaned me his money
To bear me to regions unknown,
Look in vain for occasions to dun me,
And wish again were at home?

general Democratic success of last fall
has filled them with new venom and

General Government, and then -!
There is no Disgusting the iact---
the country is approaching very
grave crisis. The calmest and most
impassivned men here are profoun-
dly impressed with the magnitude Of
the danger. They understand tho
spirit and purposes of the rebel ele-
ment as the country does not and
the success Of that party portends per-
il to tho blacks, peril to al Union men
in the South and peril to the country.
The absolute domination of that force
in the Democratic party is even now
perceptible. Every prominent Demo-
crat here is already bowling TO the
South. When John Young Brown
spit out his rebel venom the other day
no Democrat had the courage to con
denim him. The South will rule the
caucus and command the party. It
cannot be controlled. And when
these facts fully appear, and these dis.
plays are made, as they certainly will
be, then, If not before, the country will
wake up to the danger before 1t, and
will stretch forth its hand to rescue
itself.
have the strongest confidenco--so
said to-day one of the least. .excitable
and best judging statesmen we have,
who has just been through the South
that the Republican party will carry
tho election in 1876. His confidence
is based upon the belief that when the
unrepentant rebels show out their
spirit, as they are doing now and will
do in still greater degree in the next
Congress, the patriotic sentiment of
the land will be inspired and consoli-
dated as it was during the war. The
Republican party needs to rouse to the
grand work before it. An object i'm
measurably greater than mere partisan
success appeals to its best energies
aud it's noblest efforts. The preserva.
ton of the blood bought fruits of the
war and the security of the Union
men of the South are staked upon its
labors and to this commanding duty
it should address itself with all its
courage, wisdom and unity. c. E. 8.
