senting a convention of distillers. which

were at the Treasury Department today
and bad g long interview with the Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue. All made
suggestions with regard to a modification of
regulations governing the trade in spirits.
and especially requested a more stringent
rule as to transfer Of gaugers and store
keepers, arguing that these officers should
be transferred from one district TO another
as often as once in thirty days instead of
sixty days. The committee also wanted a
modification Of the rule governing transpor-
tation Of old spirits. The matter Of seiz-
ures upon technical grounds was also dis
cussed, the committee averTing that very
often seizures we're made by government
officers upon purely technical grounds and
without proper examination, thus putting
distilleTS and TeCtifeTs to much unneces-
saTy annoyance. The Commissioner will
give the subject discussed careful atten-
tiOn. After the interview with Commits
sioner Pratt, the committee paid their re-
spCctS to the Secretary OF the Treasury.

HYDR0PEOBIA in FRUIT.

Poisonous Peaches in IudIa-A Won.
dsrTul Occurrence At Lucknow.
Lucknow Correspondence Of the Indian Daily
News.
Two native gardeners and a little boy
having been suddenly seized with alarm
ing spasms, accompanied by fOaming at the
mouth, after eating a quantity Of peaches,
the Englishman to whom the peach orch
ard belonged forthwith proceeded TO ana
lyze the fruit. To his horror, the Juice was
found to contain a considerable proportion
Of poisonous virus, a discovery which nat
urally led 10 a close examination Of the
tree from which the fruit had been gather
ed. After inspecting the leaves, the
branches, even the bark, with no scientific
results, one Of the examining party sug-
gesi ed that the roots should be uncovered.
This being done, the origin Of the poison
az once came to light. Being anxious TO
enrich the soil Of the orchard, the garden
ers had buried dead dogs under many Of
the trees, including the one on which the
deadly peaches had grown. Under its
roots lay the carcass Of a defunct pariah,
proved by appearances to have died Of hy-
drOphobia. After this discovery there
could be no doubt about the source from
which The fruit derived It's poisonous quail
tiles The virus Of hydrOphObia had first
lmpreghaLed the soil, next the sap Of the
tree, and subsequently transmitted itself
TO the fruit. Yet the poison appears 10
have lost some Of its power IN transit, since
it is related that the three patents "were
successfully treated and all recovered"

REnEDIEs FoR TTr RHETrArIC.

A medical correspondent Of an English
journal says that the advantages Of aspara-
gus are not sufficiently appreciated. Those
who suffer with Rheumatism are cured In
few days by feeding on this delicious escu-
lent;and more chronic cases are much reliev-
ed, especially if the patient avoids al acids,
whether in food or beverage. The Jerusa-
lem artiChOke has a similar effect i'm relisv-
ing rheumatism 1t may be well to remark
that mos plants which grow naturally
near the seacoast contain more or less
iodine, and in all rheumatic complaints
iodine has long been a favOrite remedy.
Oae who has been i'm the drug business
told the writer some years ago that many
Of the popular patent nOstrums which some
diSinterested peOple-''lO- the good Of their
fellow creatures sold at two dollars a
bottle, consisted simply Of n fsw cents
worth Of iodine in solution. Iodine IS dan
gerOus, however, in OverdOses, affecting es-
pecially the eye.

"DIsHoNoRED PROMISES We have heard so
much about dishonored promises to pay, overdue
notes, &C., connected with the greenbacks, that,
accidentally getting hold of one the other day. we
were tempted to examine it, to find ont how long
it was overdue. We found that the United
States promised to pay One Dollar at the Treas
nfy Of the United States. No time was set
when this dollar was to be paid, and not word
said about that dollar to be paid in gold. 1t is
also legal tender for all debts, public and pri-
vate, except duties on imports and interest OH
bonds. Some one who is so lucky as to possess
five dollar bill, informs us that it processes to
be exchangeable for bonds, and redeemable after
five years, at the option of the United States. viii
somebody tell us when these notes became over
due and dishoncredi As the United States has
not got sufficient gold to do the business of the
country, she may, at her option, keep these
greenbacks ahoat o Thousand years, without vio-
lating promise; and as everybody is willing
and anxious TO take them, there certainly is no
need to hurry the matter. And when they are
presented for payment at the Treasury, they
may be paid in National Bank notes-nothing
said about Gold. And there is Just where the
pinch comes. Those National Banks, that are
bursting mp every day, want to control the cur
rency; and all those fellows who are making the
country ring with their howls for resumption,
are simply barking for the National Banks.

The Harmonious Dem ocracy.

1t is not worth while for Democrats to point
to Republican divisions upon the financial ques-
ton. A worse mixed up and demoralized party
upon that very same question could not possibly
exist The Ohio Democracy are for greenbscks
The Pennsylvania Democracy are for greenbacksl
with hard money candidate for Governor. The
New York Democracy are for hard money. The
Eastern Democratic papers wishing and
working for the defeat of the Democratic ticket
in Ohio. The Western Democratic papers charge
(and with great truth) that the Democratic par
ty of New York is under the thumb of the Wall
Street money rings. A division exists among
the Democracy of New York, and the Anti-Tam-
any wing are getting up another Convention
1t is said they will favor greenbacks.
The difference between the Democratic and
Republican parties is, that no matter what is in
the Democratic platforms, the Democrats gener-
ally all vote the ticket; but if the Republicans
divide platforms, they also divide their
votes. But when the money power gets hold of
the Democracy, it may have an influence that
nothing else has in splitting the party. The
prospect now is, that neither party can usite on
the financial question in the Presidential elec-
tion; and as a consequence, that issue will either
have to be ignored, or there will be two new
parties, divided on the money question.
Whenever that issue is made, We have not the
slightest doubt that the gaeenback will triumph
antly win. The politicians who run COnven-
tions and make platforms may resolve as much
as they like in favor of return to gold and sill
yer, and the newspapers retained in the interest
of bankers and bondholders may howl about rags
and repudiatiOn until they are hOarse: when the
issue is squarely presented, and old party lines
and party discipline are broken up, the masses
of the people will rally in defence of "our excel
lent national currency" the best that has ever
been devised"

SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH.

Dull, heavy headache, obstruction of the mas
al passages, discharges falling from the head into
the throat. sometimes profuse, watery, and
acrd, at others, thick, tenacious, mucous, puru-
lent, bloody, and putrid the eyes weak,
watery, and inflamed there is ringing in the
ears, deafness, hacking or coughing to clear the
throat, expectOration of offensive matter, to-
gether with scabs from ulcers; the voice is
changed and has n nasal twang, the breath is Of
fensive, smell and taste impaired; there is a
sensation of dizziness, mental depression, hack
ing cOngh, and general debility. Only few of
the above-named symptoms are, however, likely
to be present in any one case. There is no dis
ease more common than Catarrh, and none less
understood by physicians.
DR. sAGEs CATARRH REMEDY
is, beyond all comparison, the best preparation
for Catarrh ever discovered. Under the infiu-
ence ofits mild, soothing, and healing proper
ties the disease soon yields. The Golden Medi-
cal Discovery should be taken to correct tile
blood, which is always at fault, and TO act spe-
ciically upon the diseased glands and lining
membrane of the nose. The Catarrh Remedy
should be applied ,carm with DR.. Pierce's Nasal
DoRehe-the only instrument by which fluids
can be perfectly injected to all the passages and
chambers of the nose, from which discharges pro-
ceed.
These medicines are sold by Druggists.
