Mr.. EDIToR--I am q man in the prime of life,
and with the single exception about to be men,
toned, have always enjoyed good health. For
over two years have had a very disagreeable
twitching of the fingers and hand, and some
times of the muscles of my whole right arm.
and other nervous arrangements, until about
six months ago, when, after more severe at
tack than usual, my arm, hand and fingers lost
their power, and Two Of my fingers seemed ac-
tually dead, having almost entirely lost their
sense of perception and voluntary motion. My
hand was so DO werless that could not use 1t to
lift glass OF water or cup of coffee TO my
lips, and because of pain and "catch" in my
shoulder, was obliged almost entirely to dis
pense with the use OF the arm The whole
limb wasted and became smaller than the
other, and had about given up all hopes OF
ever having full use OF 1t again. In this con-
dition was persuaded (for L needed persuad-
ing to try what had always thought to be a
''humbug, " to call upon Drs. Darrin & Merrill,
at 271< Circle street, who said to cure by the
''laying on OF hands," 1t has now been three
weeks since commenced treatment with them,
and i find all pain and other obstacles to the
movements of arm, hand and fingers removed,
and my fingers feel as natural as ever before.
Of the agent used ! know little; of the theories
concerning 1t I care less: but this do know,
that, whereas my arm was nearly useless, now
its .efulness is restored Let no one who is suf-
fering permit pride or prejudice TO keep them
from seeing these doctors, Thew may not help
them, but their magnetic treatment can do no
harm. they do not pretend that they can heal
all diseases; say they not always tell
whether they can afford relief or not, but in no
case are they accused OF doing an injury. They
maze no pretension to any supernatural OF
mysterious power, only that they have mag
netic power in their touch which they have as.
cert aimed by repeated trials upon those in dis
iress. Now hope 1t will be worth your while
to see for yourself what these doctors can do
and call the attention of your numerous readers
to their wonderful works. A. 3. JONES,

ner in their rsscslities, he has to
partake in their shame. Hundreds
of the leading Republicans in the
state will rot sympathise In
Mr.. Morton's backsst. They are
in no way responsible for it, and they Go
not wish the party to share the opprobrium
of the disgrsceful acts of his relations.
Whichever way he turns heis involved in
painful embarrassment. He well knows
what would be the effect upon the party, If
he interferes to secure the entering Of a
nolle prosequi, as was done before when
another of tho officials OF the same Office
was detected in defalcation, and with the
facts in the case as already made public, it
will be dangerous to let matters take their
course. Conviction, scquittsl, and nom
prosecution are all alike for Mr.. Morton.
The public disgrace already attached 10 him.
and nothing short of his asking the resig-
nation of all his relations connected With
the postofice, would, In any degree, enable
him to regain what he has lost In this post
Office trouble, If even that would. The
public will watch with interest this whole
affair, and it will be seen whether Mr..
Morton does favor a civil service ofhonesty,
or If he strives to cover up wrong doing.

Morton and his Relatives.

The departure for Washington of promi-
nent government official the night after the
indictments against the HollowaYs were
freely spoken of, that Senator Morton will
interfere to save his brothers-in-lsw from
the consequences that seem impending, and
that measures will be taken to prevent con-
viction under the indictments.
1t would be asking more than human
nature could be expected to yield, to require
of Senator Morton that he should make no
effort TO save those related to him. Yet he
occupies position before the country at the
present time, and before this community in
particular, that renders interference upon
his part very dangerous to his future influ-
enee. he occupies such position that
either course of action will compromise him.
Mr.. Morton has bestowed this, the highest,
gift OF federal offices at his command upon
his own household. He has done this
against the protest of many OF the
best and leading members of his
own party. They have stood by him
in times past; they have bsttled for his pro-
motion; they have yielded to his dictation;
buoy 4hFo DocOm6 BdDSorVl0nL To his
wishes 30 long that he has at length
ignored them. They have, while
adhering still to their party, been
forced into silent and gloomy acquies-
cence in his full sway. Now, that this dis
grace bss oyertaken him, they will very
carefully watch bis movements, and
at the proper time they will doubtless
strike blow that will break his power and
free them from his domination. There
seems to be sort OF poetic justice in these
misfortunes that have overtsken Mr.. Grant
and Mr.. Morton just at the time when they
were seeking the favor and confidence OF
the American people. But they have no
body to blame but themselves. Their own
acts have brought them this disgrace,
Grant has turned away better men to be-
stow favors upon the Csseys, the Cofbins,
the Babcocks, the McDonslds relations and
bosom friends, and II he has not been part

Indiana, but who, before he left, was COM
PEELED to disgorge some seventeen thousand
dollars of money stolen from the people.
It was in such school as this that our
postmaster received his education in political
morals, and the wonder Is that no greater
cloud has rested upon his Office than the
one now overs5adowing 1t. To have
couple of his brothers indicted-one for
purloining letters and the other for cor
ruptly sharing the profits of government
contract, is bad enough, but not so bad but
that 1t might be worse. Yet he must reflect
upon the many sins he has committed under
the inspiration of the bad man who sits in
the Senate chamber at Washington, and
conclude that his present troubles have
come across his pathway as reminder that
justice though slow is sure. As be has made
his bed so he must lie in it.

as is usual with prisoners.

Evansville Journal: A very sad affair &C.
CURED at Princeton on last Friday. A man
by the name of James Williams, living a
few miles In the country, came to town
with axe handles to sell. He drank too
freely and became intoxicated, and about B
o. clock in the afternoon got into fight with
young man whose name is David Williams,
and lives IN that place. In the encounter
the young man took an axe handle from the
other and struck him such furious
blow that the injury was fatal, aud he died
at 10 O'Clock the same night from the effects
of the wound. The parties were both of
the same name but not related. The de-
ceased was q man in middle life, while the
perpetrator of the deed is only abou, 81
years of age. This is another one of the sad,
yet legitimate, fruits of the liquor traffic,
unpleasant to hear bat true to tell, and very
notifying TO our better class of citizens.
The deceased leaves q wife and several help

The Auditors Report.

In another column of the Sentinel this
morning will be found abstract of the
report just presented to Gov. Hendricks by
State Auditor Henderson. The features
of 1t, so far as matters looking to
reform are concerned, is very SINH
lar TO the suggestions submitted by
Treasurer Shaw. The various funds are
so classified that their present condition is
made plain by an exhibition of the receipts
and disbursements of each fund, the total of
balances making the amount of cash in the
treasury. Previously the cash in the
treasury has been treated as a
whole, without any reference to the
different funds to which it belonged. This
report exhibits clearly the amount
in each and the books opened in 1876 will
be so kept that at the close OF each month
the published transactions of the month
will show the conditions of the various
trust funds of the state, so that errors
heretofore fallen into by former
officers can be detected at the
close of any month and corrected
This is great step toward reform and will
receive the hearty Endorsement of every
tax payer of Indiana. Another interesting
feature OF the report is the chapter on the
origin and history of the various trust
funds, pointing out how these have suffered
losses In the past, which have caused grea {
labor and research among the records Of the
tate Offices.

slight exposure in bad weather, whe n
the system is out of order, often brings on
a stubborn cold; the attending cough irri-
tates the lungs, and ifnot promptly treated,
frequently developes tendency to tuber-
culous condition. To avoid this danger,
those troubled with colds should resort at
once to DIR. Jayne's Expectorant, which
soon loosens and eradicates coughs, soothes
and heals inflamed parts, and removes all
anxiety oy setting the patient on the way
to good health once more.
