Inc above testimony ought to convince the
most skoptical Rheumatic that Ia sure cure
has been discovered in the
Diamond Rheumatic Cure.
The proprietor Of this medicine has walked
the aisles of the hospitals Of London, Eng,
for the past twenty years, making Rheuma.
tism speciality, and the prescription from
whici. this remedy is compounded is all he
ever used in the treatment Of this disease.
In simple cases sometimes one or two doses
suffice. Ia the most chronic cases it is sure
to give way by the use Of four Or five bottles.
by this efficient and simple remedy hundreds
OF dollars are saved to those who can least
afford to throw it away, as surely it is by the
purchase OF useless prescriptions
Let any sufferer who reads this purchase Il
small bottle and take taccording to the direc-
tons around the package, and it will not take
long to convince him that paying doctors
fees is money thrown away--Linimeuts eff all
kinds are useless
This medicine is for sale by all Druggists
throughout the United States and Canada. =
If it happens that your Druggist has not got
it in stock, ask him to send for it to the

After an absence Of about haitian,

was soon dressed, and portion Of ii

This over, we threw ourselves upon
our blankets, and, while enjoying the
cheerful light OF our camp fire, Tom
related his experience with the first
grizzly he ever saw.

this country, l didn't know much a
bout it but General Garland allowed
I was the man he wanted to scout for

When he was a-travelin' over the

I'd heerd good deal about griz-

one, I'd have tussle with him, and
he shouldn't get away from me neith-

some of 'em would measure twenty
feet round the butts, and the General
said he reckoned they was morn a

Twenty Frogs.

Twenty froggies went to school,
Down beside rushy pool;
Twenty little coats Of green,
Twenty vests all white and clean.
1--WE must DO in time" said they;
"Flrst we study, then wo play;
That is how we keep the rule
When we froggies 60 to school,"
Master Bullfrog, grave and storm,
Called the classes in their turn;
Taught them how to nobly strive,
Likewise how to leap and dive;
From his seat upon tho log,
Taught them how 10 say, "Ker.chog !"
Also how to dodge blow
From the sticks which bad boys throw.
Twenty frosgics grew up fast
Bullirogs they became at last;
Not one Ounce among the lot,
Not one lesson they forgot
Polished in high degree,
AS each froggio ought to be;
Now they sit On other logs
Teaching other little frogs.

WAsHIN GTOS, Feb. S.-The following
IS the Presidents message on Arkansas af-
fairs:
To the Senate of the United States :
Herewith have the honor to send, in &C
eOrdance with a resolution of the Senate of
the Sd inst, all the information in my
possession not heretofore furnished, relating
to affairs in the State Of Arkansas.
l will venture to express the opinion
that all the testimony shows that in the
election Of 1872 Joseph Brooks was
lawfully elected Governor Of that
State; that be has been unlawfully
deprived of tie possession Of
his office since that time; and that in 1874
the Constitution Of the STATE was by viO-
lenee, intimidation and revolutionary pro-
ceedings, oEerthrOwn and a new COnstitu=
ton adopted, and new State government
established. These proceedings, if permit
ted 20 stand, practically ignore all the
rights of min0rities in all the States.
Also, what is there to prevent each
of the States recently readmitted to
Federal relations on certain conditions,
from changing their Constitution and viO-
lating their pledges, if the action in Arkan-
sas is acquisced in? respectfully submit
whether a precedent so dangerous to the
stability Of a Stale Government, if not Of
the National Government, should be recOg-
nized BY Congress. / earnestly ask that
Congress will take definite action in this
matter, to relieve the Executive from
acting upon questions which should be
decided by the legislative branch of the
Government.
