Should be Repealed.

The Illinois Press Association act
ed wisely in passing the following
resolution, and it is to be hoped the
matter viii not be allowed to rest till
a repeal is effected:
Resolved, That the recent action of
Congress, in doubling the rate of
postage on such third class matter
las includes books, transient papers,
magazines and other printed matter)
merits condemnation, and whether
such action was the result of the un-
due influence of a monopoly, or mere
ly the legitimate fruit of hasty and i'll
advised Legislation, it is nevertheless
open to the same objection, namely,
that it is in the interest of money
ed corporation and against the peo-
pie who pay the bills, and, in our
opinion, one of the first duties of the
next Congress will be to repeal that
obnoxious portion of the law.

MAssACHUsETTs.-Less than half the
full vote of Massachusetts, was polled
at the recent election, which accounts
for the small Republican majority, of
about 5000 on Governor, and $4,000
for other State officers. The reason
assigned for the light vote is the en-
tire absence of definite issues; the
platforms of both parties were alike,
in all essential pc ints; and both can
didates for Governor were unexcep-
tionable as gentlemen and as public
men.
Next year the Republicans will
turn out, under the excitement of the
Presidential contest, and we may
look for an old-fashioned majority.

Bro. Leeds, of the Brown County

Congress in this district, but the

making such suggestion, and the

Highland county have fair chance
in the race. She has several Demo
cratic statesmen who would like to
go to Congress, and who have as
strong claims as any other gentle
men in the District.

II. R. STEVENS, ESQ:
Dear Sir-When about six months old was vac
cinated. The parties who were vaccinated from the
virus died from the humor. The humor
spread over me to such extent that was rolled in
bran to prevent me from scratching my person. The
disease finally settled in my head. | remained in
this condition about 30 years, troubled all the time
with sores breaking in my head and discharging
corruption from my ear. At this time ANAL
kernel appeared on my neck, gradually increasing
in size until tumor formed of such immense size
| could see it by turning my eyes downward. All
this time | was taking various remedies for my
blood without any substantial benefit
then went TO prominent physician in Boston
who, during his treatment of six months lanced
the tumOr eight times, which cost me nearly S400.
This left me with rough aggravated sore, with
out at all diminishing the size of the tumor and in
a sickly, feeble condition. l consulted another
physician in Natick, who, after considerable time,
succeeded in healing the sore without reducing the
size. AT this point commenced to use VEGETINE,
through the earnest persuasion of a friend. After
had taken this medicine about one week expe-
rie1ced wonderful sensations. My whole body
seemed to undergoing radical change, until final
ly. the tumor broke and discharged frightfu guam
titles. From this time it decreased in size until the
bunch disappeared, but my neck still bears the
ugly scars of the sore and lance. l am now
healthy and strong and able to work every day.
will also mention that have been an acute suf-
ferer from infiammatory rheumatism ever since
can remember, until commencing the use of VEGE-
ceased. This statement Ivolunteer for the purpose
of benefting other suffering humanity, and you
will confer favor by giving it much publicity
as thought proper.
Very gratefully,

THE MEDICINE THiT CURES
Is
VEGETINE.

Taking into consideration the character of its
vouchers, the history of its cures and the immense
increasing demand, VEGBTINE may be fairly enti-
tied the leading medicine of the age.
For scrofua in the blood, VEGETINE is an infal-
lible remedy, and no person need suffer from tum-
ors. ulcers, and all diseases arising from impure
blood, if VEGETINE is used according to directions.
There is not case of scrofuls in existence that
VEGETINE will not cure, provided, however, the
vital functions have not lost their power of artoD,
all that may be said to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. A a = ti
VEGETISE is pleasant to the taste, mild in its in
fuence, and absolute in its action on disease, as
the following unquestionable evidence will show.

timony of our best citizens, of all classes, es-
tablishes the fact, that CHERRY PICTORIAL
will and does relieve and cure the affecting
disorders of the Throat and Lungs beyond any
other medicine. The most dangerous affec-
tons of the Pulmonary Organs yield to its
power; and cases of Consumption, cured
by this preparation, are publicly known, so
remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
edy it is adequate, on which the public may
rely for full protection. By curing Coughs,
the forerunners of more serious disease, it
saves unnumbered lives, and an amount of
suffering not to be computed. 1t challenges
trial, and convinces the most sceptical.
Every family should keep it on hand as
protection against the early and unperceived
attacks Of Pulmonary Affections, which are
easily met at first, but which become incura-
bic, and too often fatal, if neglected. Tender
lungs need this defence; and it is unwise to
be without it. As . safeguard to children,
amid the distressing diseases which beset the
Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely
use, multitudes are rescued from premature
graves. and saved to the love and affection
centred on them. Il acts speedily and surely
against ordinary colds, securing sound and

troublesome Influenza and painful Bron-
chitis, when they know how easily they can
be cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious,
and successful chemical investigation, no cost

tues it has ever exhibited, and capable of
producing cures as memorable as the greatest

as firm as her temper was mild and gen.

sorrow was silent. She was acquainted
with grief, but it was deposited in her
own bosom. She was the real personifi-
cation of female virtue, of piety, Of
charity, of ever active and never inter.
mitting benevolence. Oh, God could

Kindly Reminders of Death.

There was a heather king once, named
Philip of Macedon, and very wise
king he was, though he was heather,
and one of the wisest of his plans was
this He had slave, whom he ordered
to come to him every morning of his life,
whatever he was doing, and say to him,
in loud voice, "Philip, remember that
thou must die /" He was heather,
but a great many who call themselves
Christians are not half so wise as he, for
they take all possible care not to remem-
Der that they must die, but to forget that
they must die; and yetevery living man
has a servant who, like King Philips,
puts him in mind, whether he likes it OF
not, that his day will run out at last and
his twelve hours of life will be over and
| then die he must. And who is that ser.
want? A mans own body. Happy fol
him, though, if his body is his servant
not his master and histyrant. But still
be that as it may, every inger-ache that
ones body has, every congh and cold
ones body catches, ought to be to us a
warning. kindly hint from our Father
in heaven, that we are doomed to death
that we have but twelve hours in thi.
short day of life, and that we must ge
our work done and our accounts settled
and be ready for our long journey.
