PERMANENT CURE EoR CANCER. Mrs.
NJ. A. V. gives in the Country Gen
tleman' this process for curing cancer
A sticking plaster is put over the cam
Ger. with a circular piece cut out of the
centre little larger~than the cancer,
and q small circular rim o. healthy skin
next to it is exposed. Then a plaster
made of chloride of zinc, blood root
and wheat -four is spread on a piece Of
muslin of the size of the circular OPEN
ing, and is applied to the cancer for
twenty-four hours. On removing it the
cancer will be found as though burned
into, appearing of the color and hard,
ness of an old shoe, and the circular
rim outside Of it will appear white ana
parboiled as if scalded by hot steam.
The wound is now dressed. and the
outside rim soon suppurates. and the
cancer comes out hard lump. and the
place heals up.
The plaster kills the cancer, so that
it sloushs out like dead flesh, and never
grows again. The application is pain
ful, but the pain is of comparatively
brief duration which any one so affected
cheerfully endures. Not a case has
been known Of the re-appearance Of tho
cancer where this remedy has been ap-
piled. This cure for cancer was pub
lished in 1866. Perhaps there are many
who can tell more about it.

l TIED-BAcK CREATURE IN VrN,f

A TIED-BACK CREATURE IN VENICE.
She wore round hat put upon the
back of her head, like the aureole of a
saint, to which her sweet face gave her
an appearance Of kindred. Her bodice
was close fitting indeed, drawn tight
about the waist like the bark of a Young
slender tree. Her scant skirt pulled
tight in front so as to show her form.
and "tied-back," terminated in a shot
fan>like tail, like the tail of the mer-
maid. She was mounted on shoes sew.
en- sizes too small for her feet-indeed.
only her toes appeared to have accom-
modations in them, and the high heels
coming under the instep tilted her for
ward and completed the grace of her
carriage. When she walked she put
down one little foot after the other as if
each foot was as elastic as an iron rod.
1t was great pleasure to see her peg
gng along, thing of perfect beauty,
like one the drawings of chimera by
an old master. 1t is not by any means
every woman who looks well in this sin
gular costume, or who can put it on
with just that last touch of art that con-
ceals art. 1t needs certain p:quancy
in the wearer, and may say archness
and prettiness that all women-Heaven
forgive me-do not have. Everybody
knows that there is in the woman painted
by Ghirlandajo, notwithstanding a ri
diculous rigidity of outline and scanti-
ness of apparel, certain sweetness Of
face and purity of form which enchant
even tLis faithless generation. Let no
one suppose that am ridiculing this
costume or the woman who wears it
worthily. On the contrary, am trying
to discover. upon principles of art, in
what its quaint beauty consists. sup
pose that it is pre-Raphaelite. I only
know that j: attracts one in the street a.
the quaint figures of Giotto do in the
frescoes. and that one is tempted to fol-
low it and see the wearer of it in nc otion
"a new sort of angel, drawn in angular
lines, astray in the world. Few, very
few, attain to the high art of tying
themselves back in an artistic and at
the same time striking manner. Il
would be well if it were taught in our
schools of design.-Charles D. Warner

THE END.
jobs.

The Forty-fourth Congress closed it's first
session this week, adjourning sine die, on
Tuesday evening last. The work of the
entire session has been done with an eve
to the Presidential campaign, and this con-
sideration may be seen in nearly all its
legislative acts. Few bills of Importance
have been left over, though much has been
done in the matter of appropriations, to
cripple the Government, in hopes of max
ing political capital for the majority side
thereby, while innumerable private jobs
have been smuggled through tackled to
these bills. We hail the departure of this
body of wiseacres from the national Capt.
tai. Not that we fear that their claptrap
tricks would have the desired effect upon
the intelligent people Of the country, for
to use vulgarism, they were too thin :"
altogether. But we gladly bid them bon
voyage to their homes, because under the
cloak of economy and reform they have
rashly squandered the peoples money in
private jobs, and subsidies granted to in
dividual Congressman to advance their in
terests in their districts. Under the name
of public works, appropriations have been
made to improve water powers, or, in
other words, to build mill dams in certain
districts, so that by the outlay of five
or ten thousand dollars, the member from
those districts by the claim thus given
them upon the individuals benefited, might
secure their reelection. This virtuous
House refused to pass the appropriation
bills without these parasites, so that the
Senate was compelled to acquiesce in many
of them, to secure the appropriations for
work on the harbors of the leading ports
and the great highways Of commerce which

could not be neglected without very serious

could not be neglected without very serious
consequences.
Seldom, if ever, has the country beheld
partizan legislation by the Nationa, Con-
gress carried to the extent that the present
Congress has carried it. Upon nearly every
measure presented, tho party lines have
been drawn very tightly, and it has only
been through the medium of compromise
and clog rolling" that necessary legisla-
ton could be obtained. Little else, how
ever, was to be expected. For the first
time in many years, the Democratic party
found itself in a majority in the Lower
House, and it at once proclaimtd "war to
the knife F" against the Republican Senate
and Administration. Whatever could be
done to bring either or both into disrepute
was to be done at all hazards; not beca use
the Democratic party had any desire to cor
rect abuses, but because they were anxious
to attain to positions where they could per-
petrate still greater ones.
Their sole object was to make capital for
themselves by blackening their opponents
in hopes that they might thereby succeed
in the Presidential campaign, and regain
that control of the Government which they
lost when they inaugurated the war of the
rebellion. Partisanship has had full sway
to the neglect of pressing public business
and utter and complete failure is conceded.
None of that "rottenness or "corrup
tion," which they declared was adherent
in the Republican party, has been exposed
or discovered, and those who have been
conducting these Investigations are obliged
to report their discontinue to their disap-
pointed party friends. "They went for
wool and came back shorn." These facts
should have weight with the people and
lead them to distrust that party which
seeks only to displace the one now in power
that it may give us another installment of
such government as made the Treasury
bankrupt and inaugurated war.
The House repeal of the resumption act
practically amounts to nothing. The Sen
ate did not even compliment it by voting it
down, hence if the Republicans carry the
election this Fall, they are bound to pro-
vide for resumption in 1879

National Government. Gen. Hayes has
been three times elected Governor of the
great State of Ohio, and has during his
entire service compelled the admiration
even of his opponents who could not lay
their fingers on a dishonest or weak act
in his official conduct. Gov Tilden has
been elected Governor of his State, and
was recently pronounced humbug by a
large majority of his own party friends.
Previous to his election to the post, Mr..
Tilden was conspicuous solely as the figure
head of the Tammany Party, of which
Tweed was the actual manager. Gen.
Hayes, is a clear headed, sensible, straight
forward man, whose word is as good as
his bond, and who never was accused of
double-dealing or was guilty of false pre-.
lenses.

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE Almost every
day the papers chronicle the suicide of
some poor unfortunate whose mind has
been enieebled by dyspepsia, over whose
earthly horizon heavy gloom has gathered
from the untold and unreliable agonies of
this cruel complaint. Dyspepsia is one of
the most depressing diseases affecting
humanity. 1t is cosmopolitan in its nature
no country is exempt f, ON its visita,ions,
no family free from Its attacks. There is
a balm in Gilead; it comes in the shape of
the PERUVIAN SYRUP. For years it has
been scattering its blessings abroad. There
is, probably, no disease which experience
has so amply proved to be remediable by
the PERUVIAN SYRUP as Dyspepsia. The
most inveterate forms of this disease have
been completely cured by this medicine. as
ample testimony of many of our first
citizens prove.
