BROOKS. Me. Sci

BROOKs, ME, sept. Z, IoiU.
Dear Sir-From early youth 1 was in feeble
health, troubled with bumor in my blood, weak
ness and debility of the system generally; wa
unable to labor much and only at some light bust
ness. and then only with great caution.
Seven years ago the past spring, had severe
attack or Diphtheria, which left my limbs para
lied and useless so was unable to walk or ever
sit up. Noticing the advertisement of Peruvian
Syrup, concluded to give it a trial, and to my
great joy soon found my health improving. con
tnued the use of the Syrup until three bottles
had been used, and was restored to complete
health and have remained so to this day.
attribute my present health entirely to the us'
of Peruvian Syrup, and hold it in high estimation
/ cannot speak too highly in its praise. have il
several cases recommended it in cases very simila
to my own, with the same good results.
Yours truly CHARLES E. PEARCY.

Our readers are well aware of the esrnestness
of the Maine delegation in the support of Mr..
Blaine at Cincinnati, and no one can doubt but
that their whole hearts were in the work. They
certainly appreciated the labors of all who sup
ported Mr.. Blaine, but none more than Col. Inger-
soils, who so eloquently presented the name Of
Names candidate to the convention. Immediate
ly after the nomination of Governor Hayes the
Maine Blaine Club proceeded in a body to the
headquarters of the Illinois delegation at the Bur-
nett House, where the Hon. j. A. Peters, of this
city, in behalf Of the Club, presented Mr.. Inger.
soil with very elegant and costly gold-mounted
cane upon which was an appropriate inscription
Judge Peters remarks were brief but pertinent
and exceedingly felicitous, stating that the test
monial was only slight token of the appreciation
of the Club for the able and very eloquent manner
in which be presented the name of Names hon.
ored statesman. Col. Ingersoll replied in his hap
piest vein. closing with the remark that the can c
would help him bear up under Mr.. Blaine's de-
feat. The Club then retired to their headquarters

ascertain whether it could damage the po-

In merely parliamentary struggles, it has
been at the mercy from the commence

could not bear the strain, and the Speaker

An important legal decision has just
been given on the New York canal frauds,
against the State for recovery for frauds
perpetrated with the full knowledge of the
same by the State. The democratic idol.
Sam. Tilden, seems to be badly damaged
by the decision. The Express says, in
reference to the decision: That the canal
frauds were committed there is no doubt.
But the blame lies not with the canal
board, as Governor Tilden's commission
assumed, but with the legislature, which
granted extra compensation and changed
the form of the contract after the canal
board had let the same. A large amount
of such appropriation was made in the
winter of 1872, when Gov. Tilden was a
member of the assembly, and there is no
record or tradition that he ever voted
against such appropriation or made the
faintest protest"

E .I.
A despatch was received yesterday al
tsrnoon. bringing the intelligence that
Hon. Lor M. MORRILL,, one of our distin-
gushed and honored Senators, had re-
ceived the appointment OF Secretary OF
the Treasury, 10 place of Mr.. Bristow, re-
signed. Mr.. Morrill, was confirmed by the
Senate yesterday noon, and will undoubt-
eddy accept the position. Mr.. Morrill, has
once declined position in the cabinet,
aud this renewal of the offer of an hon.
ored aud responsible place there. is a mark
of the esteem in which he is held by those
in power. Had President Grant the same
discrimination in the selection Of the 9TH
er members of his cabinet, there would
have been less complaints and fewer mis-
takes. The people of Maine are honored
in this deserved promotion Of Senator
Morrill,, who has been so true to their in
terests in the various positions to which he
has been called during his long public
By his purity Of character his greaI
Knowledge of business, and faithfulness

The Boston Daily Advertiser says that
the Transcript intimates that the opposi-
ton in Massachusetts to Mr.. Blaine arose
from the refusal Of that gentleman to par
licipate in the fall campaign In that State
q year ago. 1t says: ''In the emergency
the ex-speaker was invited to render his
'.valuable services on the stump. The
necessities of the case were pressed up
ION him, but he persistently declined, aud
ION being personally importuned, replied
''that he was too busy in the preparation
"of speech upon the currency. The re-
"publicans of Massachusetts got along
"without his aid. aud achieved triumph,
mo part of which belonged to Mr.. Blaine.
perhaps if he had actively participated
.fn that canvass, the Commonwealth
might not have been SO unequivOcally
against him at the Cincinnati conven-
.'tion." II such was the motive of the OPP
position the leaders succeeded admirably
in concealing it; but, of course, there is
nothing whatever in the notion that it was
the motive. In 1874, Mr.. Blaine made
many speeches in Massachusetts, and it
may not be generally known that he gave
the State central committee authority to
send him anywhere in the State, but not
in the Essex district. Last year he met
with a railroad accident, and was forbid
den to speak by his ply stefan, and he took
no part even in the Maine canvass.

THE GRAND UNION, OF New York
Attention is directed to the card Of Grand
Union Hotel, opposite Grand Contra
Depot, New York. This hotel is one OF
the largest aud most popular of the New
York city first class hotels. 1t is 50 con-
venien1y located to the Grand Central
Depot, that all expense of carriage and
baggage expressage is saved its guests.
An indisputable Recommendation Of this
house is the fact that guests who stop
there once become regular patrons there,
after. Persons CONCENTRATING visiting or
passing through New York, or to attend
the centennial, will d. well TO give the
Grand Union trial. The Grand Union
supplies every advantage afforded by a
first class hotel, while the rates Of charges
are moderate, being suited to the strin-
gency of the times.

T, J. Henderson.

This gentleman is the present member
of congress from this district, though very
few people would know the fact from any
thing he has done while a member. He
is Just now engaged in holding school house
meetings all over this district, trying to
persuade the people to give him another
election. The Union, one of his ablest
four line advocates, says
Gen Henderson is a much stronger candidate for
congress than he was two years ago. The more
people learn of him the better they like him.
Personally there is nothing to say against
Henderson. We have known him for 90
years ard always esteemed him as high
ly respectable, fair and we'll meaning man.
But is he the man the people of this
district want for their representative in
congress? Can he accomplish as much
good for the district as Hon. Charles Dun
ham ? Both of these questions, it seems te
us, must be answered in the negative
Gen. Henderson has literally accomplished
nothing for the benefit of the people
True he has turned Mr.. jackson out Of
the post Office in this city because he was
friend of Mr.. Hawley, and has removed
several other friends of Mr.. Hawley from
office. But what has he done for the PEG
pie? viii some friend of his set forth
what public act of his has been for tn,
benefit OF the mass of the people or fol
the general prosperity of the district
His achievement for the Rock Island Ar,
senal and accompanying improvements are
nothing. He failed to secure none,
enough to accomplish anything this year
But he voted against the repeal of th,
date of the resumption of specie payment
"a vote in the interest Of bankers ant
spectators and against the interests O
the people.
The next congress is certain to be Dem
ocratic and it seems to US the hcighth Q
folly for the people of this district to sen
man to congress who will be in minor
ty aud utterly unable to accomplish any
thing fol our local interests. In days gon
by the Republicans based their stronges
arguments for Hawley on the ground tina
he would be in sympathy with the I'd ajorit
and could get larger appropriations for tn
Arsenal than if he was in the minority
The people acted on that theory and elect
ed Mr.. Hawley three times. They shout
now act on the same theory and elect MI
Durham, who will be in sympathy with tn
next congress and can do more for the Il
cal interests of the district and state tina
Henderson for the very reason the Repub
licans formerly assigned when Hawley wa
a candidate. Durham, in his private life
is every way Heuderson's equal, and as
lawyer, advocate, man Of brains and abilit
he is much the superior man. The peopl
will make a great mistake if they fail t
elect Durham.

The LIvER's SECRETION OF SUGAR
Thousands are unaware of the fact that
the liver is a producer of SUGAR. 1t is first
formed in the hepatic tissue, and is known
by Psychologists as glycogenic matter, and
then by process of transformation ere it
leaves the liver becomes sugar. Irrespec-
tive of the food on which mum anity lives is
sugar always to be found in the liver. Now
as the manufacture of sugar is necessary to
perfect the blood, it follows that unless
food be taken in proper quantities, the re-
quired quantity of sugar cannot be produc-
ed; hence those who have poor appetites,
require their digestive organs improved by
tonic so as to eat and digest that amount
of food so necessary to the production Of
sugar in the liver in its required natural
quantity; we have great pleasure there
tore in calling attention to that splendid
elixir tonic known as the HOME STOMACH
BITTERs.
