Dear Strive have good reason fof regarding your

assured that 1t has been the means of saving sons
life. He Is seventeen years of for the last two
years he has suffered from necrosis Of his Leg caused by
scrofulous affection and was so far reduced that nearly
all who him thought his recovery impossible. A
council of able physicians could give but the aintest
hope of his raying, two of the number declaring
that he beyond the reach Of human REMEDIES that
amputation could not save him. as he had not vgor
enough to endure the operation just then COM
menced giving him yEGETINTs, and from that time to
the present he has been continuously improving He
has lately resumed his STABLES, thrown away crutches
and cane, aud walks about cheerfully and strong.
Though there Is still discharge from the opening
where the limb ianccd. we have the fullest conf
dence that in little time he will be perfectly cured
He has taken about three dozen bottles Of VEGE-
TINE but lately but little he declares that hc is
too well to he taking medicine.

Three Points for Consideration.

During the past five years the vEGETINE has been
steadily working itself into public favor and those who
at first most ncredulous in regard its merits
now its most ardent friends and supporters.
There three essential for those having such
horror OF patent medicines changing their opinion
YEGETINE. 1st-It is an honestly-prepared medicine
from barks, roots and herbs 2d-It honestly accom-
fishes all that acclaimed for it, without leaving any bad
effects in the system 3dIt presents honest vouchers
In Testimonials from honest well-knswn citizens whose
signatures sufficient guarantee of their earnest
in the matter Taking into consideration the
quantity of medicine brought conspcuousy before the
public through the flaming advertisements In the news
paper columns, with proof of merit genuine
vouchers of what 1t has DONE should be pardoned
manifestng small degree Of pride in presenting the
following testimonial from Rev. j. s. DICKERSON, d.
D., the popular and eyor-genial pastor of the South
Baptist Church, Boston:

just before retire gives sweet and immediate sleep
and without any Of evil effects Of the usual narcotics

"But, sir, said the clergyman, "weare

HAY OR STRAW.

Good clean straw, carefully stack
ed, is supposed to represent a value,
in comparison with the best meadow
hay, ofthree to one. That's an animal
must eat three pounds Of straw to get
the same subsistence as would be af.
forded by one pound Of hay. Now.
siuce it is required that cattle must
consume all the hay they can eat to
bring them through the winter in the
same condition they were in at its
commencement, it is evident that, if
wintered largely on straw, they must
subsist largely upon the fat and flesh
previously stored " if fed with corn
or other concentrated food, the case
becomes widely different, since it acts
a. . divisor to the other food, aud at
tho same time furnishes whatever
nutrimeDt it may possess to the ami.

MRS. FITCH,s DIAMONDS.
Gems that arc Useless to the Owner, aud
Prolltless to the Government. -

The revenue authorities are puzzled
to know VIII = to do with the Khedive
of Egypt's famous gift to Gen. sher.
mans daughter. The diamonds are
locked up in the big vault in the Sub
Treasury. They were placed there in
June last, and unless they are taken
away before next June, they will be
classified as unclaimed goods, and
sold by auction to pay the duties and
storage. If this should happen, the
money, after the deduction Of The
official charges, would b Paid q
Drexel, Morgan & Co., in whose
name the diamonds are conagned.
The trouble is that Congress in au-
thoriz,ng Lieut. Fitch to receive the
present to his wife, neglected to 70
lieve him from the payment Of the
duties. The necklace and .earringl
which compose the gift were first SAID
to be worth $35O,OOO, but experts
have since appraised them at $50 900,
The duty on this amount would be
about $4,000. Gen. Sherman feels
that he is too poor to pay this, and
is unwilling to appeal to Congress for
an exemption Of the payment Of the
duties. Neither the Secretary Of the
Treasury, the Collector. nor any ofhis
deputies are disposed to exercise their
power of granting . free permit for
the diamonds, and the Turkish Am.
bassador. who has the official pre-
rogative of receiving them in his name,
will not ask for their release, be-
cause the Khedive is only recognized
by his Government as a vassal.-

A COLLEGE EDUCATION FOR
GIRLS.

Chancellor Eliot Of W ashington Un-
iversity, St. Louis, says concerning
the education of women "To speak
from our own very limited experience,
1 can most confidently say that it has
thus far developed no insuperable
difficulty to the admission of young
women, when pronerly prepared, to
the regular classes either Of college,
or scientific or law school. We have
observed no indications of intellectual
inferiority, Of divided attention, of
careless habits of study, of inability to
meet all reasonable requiremnts of a
strict curriculum. I sincerely wish
that we could have more of them in
every class from this time forward,
with this one condition, that the cour-
ses Of study should not be lowered
in any respect, but held to the full
standard Of scholarly. education, so
that young women graduates should
stand upon the same level Of schloar-
ship with the young men. There was
time when l should have hesitated
to say this, but my skepticism has de-
parted, and my only fear now is that
very few young women can be inspired
with the love Of learning as to desire
the highest education, or who are so
1ortunate] y situated as to have the
opportunity and choice given to them"
The St. Cloud journal. [volume] (St. Cloud, Minn.) 1866-1876, 1876-04-06

They were sitting together, he
and she, and he was arduously think

sighed and he sighed, side by side.
