vHGETINE.
Three Points for Consideration.

During the past FIVE years the VEGETiNE
has been steadily working itself INTO Pubic
favor, and those who were at first uiost increa-
ulous in regard to Its merits are now les hfoss
ardent friends and supporters.
There are three essential causes for those
having such horror OF patent meaicines,
changing their opinion and lending t9eiE IN
fiuence toward the advancement OF vEGE-
TINE 1st. 1t is an honestly prepared medi-
cine from barks, roots and herbs. "a. II non
estly accomplishes all that is claimed for IL,
without leaving any bad effects In the system.
3d. 1t presents honest vouchers IN testlmohiais
from honest, well-known citizens, whose sig
natures are sufficient guarantee Oh their
earnestness in the matter. Taking into con-
sideration the vast quantity OF meolclne
brought conspicuously before the pubic
through the flaming advertisements IN tne
newspaper columns, with no proof OF merit or
genuine vouchers of what it has done. we
should be pardoned for manifesting small
degree OF pride in presenting 3 the following tes-
timonlal from Rev. j. =. DICKERSVNs ID. d.,
the popular and ever genial pastor OF the south
Baptist Church, Boston:
The Tired Body Sues for sleep.
BOSTON, March 16, 1874.
H. R. STEVENS, ESQ.,: Dear Sir-I5 is as
much from sense Of duty as OF gratitude that
l write to say that your VEGETlNE-even II
1t is patent medicine-has been OF great help
to me when nothing else seemed to avail when
could safely use. Either excessive mental
work or unusual care brings upon me nerv-
GUS exhaustion that desperately needs sleep,
but as desperately defies it. Night after night
the poor tired body sues for sleep until the day
dawn Is welcomed back, and we begin ouI
work tired out with an almost fruitless chase
after rest. Now have found that little VEG
ETINE taken just before l retire gives me
sweet and immediate sleep, and without any
Of the evil effects Of the usual narcotics.
think two things would tend to make brain
workers sleep. lst. A little less work. I'd. A
little more VEGETINE. This prescription haf
helped me.
Now 1 have a particular horror Of "patent
medicine" but l naye greater horror OF be-
ing afraid to tell the straight out truth. The
VEGETINE has helped me, and own it up.

The Color of Rifiemen's Eyes.
[From New York SUM-

There has not been better opportuni-
ty to observe the peculiarities of marks
men, for there have not been five such
teams together before. A marked pc
culiarity is the eye. 1t has been said
that the best shots are blue-eyed. OBJ
servations at Creedmoor show that this
is true in great measure, and show
that it may be put down as an axiom
that the best shots have light eyes. The
Irishmen have two men, Ward and
Dyas. whose eyes are rather dark, but
Wards are hazel, good color among
rihemen, and Dyas' dark gray. The rest
of the team have blue or gray eyes,
Lieut.. Fenton, who, yesterday, made a
total Of 211 out of 225, has eyes of
'Irish blue" that can see wonderfully
we'll. There is not dark-eyed man in
the Stotch team, if Boyd be excepted,
and his are dark gray. DR.. Mitchell, of
the team, gives it as his experience that
ehC oc'1 sAoto AdNo IiSis eyes. JuuSc
Gildersleeve has light hazel eyes. "They
are as good as telescope" said one OF
the rihemen. Fulton's eyes are as blue
as the sky, and .Farwell's are little
lighter. Dakin has blue eyes, and Col.
onel Bodine splendid gray eyes. Allen
who shoots remarkably we'll, has blue
eyes. Rathbone's are gray, as are Web.
er's. The Australians all have light
eyes, blue, gray, and light hazel. The
Canadians are darked-eyed as a team
but there are no black eyes there.
The "far away" steady look of tbs
best marksman is noticeable. Wher
they look at an object they "look at it,
no "glance OF it," And they are al
quiet, reserved, self-contained gentlemen
Rif1e-sheoting seems to be one of tn,
"gentle arts" judging from the quie
gentlemen who excel in it.

TiltOn Again-A Sleeping Car
Episode.

NEW YORK, September 18.-The
sleeping car Plattsburg was attached to
the Atlantic express train which was
due in the Grand Union depot at 6:45
o'clock Saturday morning. At Albany,
at about two o'clock in the night, man
of about middle age entered, as though
expecting to meet somebody.
His entrance disturbed no one. Ev-
identity he had not been looked for at
Albany. He seemed pleased by that
thought, as though anticipating the sur
prise of a person whom he sought. He
advanced down the aisle between the
closed curtains, and then returned to the
end of the car, and, addressing Charles
Bell, the negro porter, said: "Can You
tell me in which berth Mrs. Wood, my
wife, is?" "Yes, sir; No. 2, top berth,
sir" replied the porter. Mr.. Wood
went eagerly to No. and drew aside
the curtains. His eyes met a mans
startled gaze, and by the mans side was
woman. whose face he could not see.
He returned to the porter, whose account
of the event is as follows:
Mr.. Wood came to me, and he said:
"There must be some mistake; there is
man in that BERTH" eyes, sir" /
said, "there's a man in that berth-Mr.
Theodore Tilton; but the lady-Mrs.
| Wood, che said her name was when she
bought her berth-is in the top berth"
Mr.. Wood went back to No. and look
ed into the top berth, but the lady was
not there. Some of Der clothes were.-
Then Mr.. Wood looked in the bottom
berth, and saw Mrs. Wood there with
Mr.. TiltoD. Mr.. Wood jumped back, as
if he could not believe his eyes. Then
he said something very mad-like to Mr..
Tilton, and struck him. 1 did not ex-
actly see where, but 1 think it was on
the nose. Then there was a sort of
scramble, and l heard the lady tell
Wood to be quiet. Mr.. Tilton came out
from behind the curtain and went into
the smoking car. Mr.. Wood tried to
follow him, but Mrs. Wood, I think,
held on to him. Some of the passengers
must have been woke up, but did not
notice in the excitement whether any of
them looked out. Soon the brakeman
came in and asked for Mr.. Tilton g
things, and picked them up and sent
them to him. Mr.. Wood sat up all the
rest of the way, and as soon as it got in
to the depot here, Mr.. and Mrs. Wood
hurried off together. Mr.. Tilton then
came into the sleeping car and washed
combed his hair and brushed his cloth
, es, and made himself neat. When be
"as going out of the cars he asked my
name and where l lived, and said, "Bell,

MOUNTAIN MEADOWS MASSACRE

Lee-HOw. He Plotted the Massa-
ere of Another Company Of Emf
grants.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, September 1S.-
In the Beaver Court evidence, McMurdy
on Friday afternoon and Saturday last,
was very clear and positive as to Lee
having shot and killed four or FIVE
wounded men and women lying helpless
in the wagon that witness was driving,
and his heartlessness in the slaughter
Witness drove the lead team, and testif-
ed that as soon as Lee fired the first shot,
preceded by the word halt" the Indl-
ans rushed out of their ambush, appar-
emily on ali sides, surrounding the emf
grants completely, and the work of de-
struction only lasted few minutes; that
from his best judgment there was not to
exceed twenty-five men on the ground,
who had been deceived as to what was
wanted Of them there; and Knight testi-
fes that not more than one-third of this
number took part in the massacre. 1t
can be proven that several even of these
shed no blood, firing in the air; that the
Indians were armed, come with bows
and arrows, but mostly with guns, and
soon completed the destruction.
Nephi johnson testified that he lived
at Johnson's Fort, Iron County, in 1857.
He was on the Mountain Meadows at
the time of the massacre. He affirmed
that he did not know Lees intention as
to the destruction of the emigrants. He
was on a hill near by when Lee fred the
gun. He saw Lee shooting and kill two
or three. He saw an Indian interpreter,
and engaged to conduct the Jukes comp

him some, but could not affect much the

acts and guilt.
