control them. The testimony of our best citi- zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and cure the afflicting disorders of the Throat and Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs yield to it's power; and cases of Consum ption, cured by this preparation, are publicly known so remarkable as hardly to be believed, were they not proven beyond dispute. As q remedy, it is adequate, OH which the public may rely for full protection. By curing Coughs, the forerunners of more serious disease, it saves un- numbered lives, and an amount of suffering not to be computed It challenges trial, and con- vinces the most sceptical. Every family should keep it on hand as protection against the early and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affec- tions, which are easily met at first, but which become incurable, and too often fatal, if neg lected. 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. It acts speedily and surely against ord- nary colds, securing sound and health-restoring enza and painful Bronchitis, when they know how easily they can be cured.
 Originally the product of long, laborious, and successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll is spared in making every bottle in the utmost possible perfection. It may be confidently relied upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever exhibited, and capable of producing cures as memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

We were riding home from the CAROLS ball,

The white flakes fluttered about our lamps,
And our wheels rolled silently through the
snow 4
Her white arms nestled along her lap,
Her hands half holding with weary grace
Herfading violets-passing sweet
Was the far-01 look on her fair young faco.
watched her, speaking never a word,
For would not waken those dreaming eyes
But the breath Of the violets hlled the air,
And my thoughts were many and far from
8. wise.
At last said to her, bending near
"Ah, Nelly Sansargent, sweet 'twould be
To ride together our whole lives long,
Alone with the violets, you and me"
Her fair face flushed, and her sweet eyes fell:
Low as the murmur Of meadow-rllls
Her answer came to me-"Yes-perhaps;
But who would settle our carriage billsT
The delicate blossoms breathed their last;
q Our wheels rolled hard on the stones just
then,
Where the snow had drifted the subject
dropped,
And has never been taken up again.

States and the stockholders of the road.
Besides this, the fact appears that while
the'net income OF the road for 1873 was
$4,000, COO, the Government has received
| nothing ON the interest account, and
there has been no dividend to stock
holders. The net income has been over
10 per cent. on the plundering cost of
the line.
Mr.. Standeford says that the evidence
before the committee affords ''more than
a grave suspicion that those allegations
are true" He, therefore, insisted that
there should be an investigation, and, if
found true, the directors should be made
to refund all that they had fraudulently
diverted from an honest destination.
The allegation that the road was built
by the Contract and Finance Company,
u majority OF which was of the same
persons who constituted majority of
the directors of the road, Is susceptible
of proof and is doubtless true. And yet
the committee refused to recommend an
inquiry into the factl
This raises some very startling suspi-
cions against the members of the Com
mittee. Mr.. Standeford says that it is
charged that one, member of Congress
sold his stock in that road at two and
one half times its par value, while its
market value was dull at 10 cents on the
dollar; and another member realized
seven and one half times the face value
OF his stock in the concernl Both these
congressman were members of the Con-
tract and Finance Company These
charges were not denied by any one ex-
cept the attorney Of the, Company. Mr..
Standeford is of the opinion that an in
vesiigation would reveal system of
fraud and peculation astounding even in
this age of embezzlement.
And yet poor Luttrell and the Califor-
mia Legislature, as well as the minority
of the Committee, were squelchedl 1t
is evident that the Democratic House
will have some wol k to do in this behalf.

GHE PACIFIC CENTRAL RASCALI-
AGAIN BROUGHT TO YIEW.

N oa <4' LAVSoHA 4 " LIZ W.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Luf-
trell, Of California, got through the
House resolution looking to an inves-
tigation of charges against the Central
Pacific Railway. A Committee took the
matter into consideration, and alter
hearing statement of the well-paid at
torney for the Company, jumped to the
conclusion that there was no foundation
for the charges, and refused to make any
report. Mr.. Luttrell seems to have sub
mitted to being squelched with altogeth-
er too much patience. Nothing more
was heard from him on that subject; al
though the Legislature of his State had
called upon Congress through him to
make an investigation.
Hon. E. d. Standeford, however, pre-
pared a minority report, and it looks as
if the majority sought to also squelch
the minority by refusing to make a re-
port. The views, as set forth by the
minority q year ago, have just been
given to the public through the press,
and they show that the majority of the
committee should rest under grave sus-
picion. Mr., standeford is. from Ken
&. tucky and can not be supposed to be in
terested either for or against the COM
pany. He says that the company should
be held to strict account to Congress,
because the road received an immense
land grant and $27, ,o39, 120 of cash subsidy
from the United States, besides large
grants and donations from California
and Nevada. He states the following as
among the undisputed facts connected
with the construction of this road.
First-It has been practically COM
pleted since 1862 and in running order
since that time, averaging, in gross earn
ings, nearly $l0,000,000 a year-increas-
ing from $500, ,882 in 1869 to $13, ,943, $50 in
1873. (rhe net earnings for the latter
year were over $4,000, ,000.)
Second-The handling of these vast
sums OF money, together with the SUBJ
sides and donations to the road, has
been intrusted to the nine directors of the
road, of whom Leland, Stanford, Charles
Crocker, G. T. Huntington, E.. b. Crock
er, Mark Hopkins and Charles Marsh
compose the majority.

paid any dividend up to July 1, 1878.
'Fourth-The United States has not been
paid any interest upon the bonds issued
by it. tt
IL is charged that these directors have
grossly misapplied the funds of the CON-
pany; have conspired to cheat the Gov
ernment and the stockholders; and that
they perpetrated the same gigantic fraud
in the construction OF the road as was
exposed in the Credit Mobilier Of the
