jury Of inquest. The mar was found
lying on his face and side, his head rest
ing in a pool of blood that had come
from q knife wound back Of the ear,
the blade of the knife having penetrated
the bones Of the skull and severing an
artery. The wound was some two inches
in length. The blow was evidently
given from the front, as the wound
showed that the edge Of the knife was
turned toward the neck and the back
above nearer the skull. Death Unjust

The emperor, Napoleon I'LL, found civil

meet his expenses as president with a
salary of only $4,000 a year, he was often

THE SONG OF A SHIRT.


From the Baltimore Gazette.l
With face that was weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
Poor Morton sat, with look forlorn,
And dolefully scratched his head
The bottles laid about,
The returns were in the dirt,
And in voice 'twixt a howl and shout
He sang this song of a shirt:
Flap! fiapl fiapl
While even the boys do Scoh.
And tell me to wash the bloody shirt,
And take the old thing on.
It's oh. for a fight in the South,
with bucketsful Of gorei
How 1 could flourish the shirt again,
And renew its stains once more!
Work. work. work,
Till the brain begins to swim;
I've worked upon that bloody shirt
Till my eyes are heavy and dim.
seam, and gusset, ana band
I've stepped them all in gore,
And the bloodier that made that shirt
The Hoosiers jeered the more.
1 stumped the state all through
The bloody-shirt to wavei
But all my toll and great ado
Could not the grandson" save.
Despite of Chambers cash,
Flung out as free as dirt,
A tidal wave has swept the state
And washed the bloody-shirt.
It's all well enough to talk,
And say that my shirts played out,
But ifthat old standby is lost
What can we talk about?
And So though the thing don't take,
And rather seems to hurt,
For one, never shall forsake
The well-worn bloody shirt
With face that was weary and worn,
With eye-lids heavy and red,
Poor Morton sat with looks forlorn,
And dolefully scratched his head
His features oft would twitch,
As If from thoughts that hurt;
But still with q voice of dolorous pitch
He sang this song of a shirt

Now this money was all spent in 1875, and
it was az spent for the ordinary current ex-
penses Of the government, exclusive of in
terest and pensions. Why in the world Mr.
Conant, who is certainly a model table
maker limited himself to the modest de-
duction of 81, 0OO, 600, when with the same
propriety he might have relieved the coun-
try from taxation entirely, is more than
even the ingenuity of Secretary Boutwell,
and Conkling can explain. All that / know
is that you pay the taxes and they amount
10 over SO per head, instead of 81 go, as
stated by Conant, and the deluded senator
who followed in his wake

fectually eradicate from the system every

AT the Stomach, and all diseases that arise
fromIimpure blood, Sciatica, Infiammatory and

Spinal Complaints. can only be effectually
cured through the blood.
For Ulcers and Eruptive Diseases OF the
Skin, Pustules, Pimples, Blotches, Boils, Tet-
ter, Scald-head and RingworIn, Neget1ne has
never failed to effect permanent cure.
For Pains in the Back, Kidney Complaints
Dropsy, Female Weakness, Leucorrhea, arising
from internal liberation, and uterine diseases
and General Debility, Vegetine acts directly
upon the causes of these complaints. IL invig-
crates and strengthens the whole system, acts

Piles, Nervousness and General Prostitution OF
the Nervous System, no medicine has given
such perfect satisfaction as the Negetine. IL
purifies the blood, cleanses all of the organs.
and possess controlling power over the
nervous system.
The remarkable cures effected by Negetine
have induced many physicians and apothe-
carries whom we know to prescribe and use IL

In fact, Vegetine is the best remedy yet dis
covered for the above diseases, and is the only
reliable Blood Purifier yet placed before the
