PUBLIC REPORT
POEECEEHA N

have not enjoyed good health for several years
past, yet have not allowed it to interfere with my la
Dor. Every one belonging TO the laboring class
knows the inconvenience of being obliged to labor
when the body from debility, almost refuses to per-
form its daily task. never a believer in dosing
with medicines; but having heard the VEGETINE
spoken of so highly, was determined to try it, and
shall never regret that determination. AS a tonic
(Which every one needs at same time) it surpasses
everything ever heard of. 1t invgorates the whole
system; it is great cleanser and purifier of the
blood There are many of my acquaintance who
have taken it, and all unite in praise OF it's satisac
tory effect.
Especially among the aged class of people, it i'm
parts to them the thing most needful in old age
nights of calm, sweet repose thereby Strengthening
the mind as well as the body. One aged lady, who
has been suffering thr ough life from scrofuia and
has become blind through its effects, having tried
many remedies with no favorable result was induced
by friends to try the VEGETINE. After taking few
bottles she obtained such great relief that she
pressed wish for her sight, that she might be able
to look upon the mau who had sent her such bles-
sing. Yours respectfully,
O.P. H. HODGE, Police Officer, Station 6.

The centennial appropriation meets with
opposition in an unexpected quarter. 1t has
been generally believed that the appropria-
ton is a sure thing, but there is reason TO ex-
pect formidable if not dangerous opposition
from the south unless an amnesty bill is
passed. There are practically two amnesty
bills before the House, Mr.. Randalps intro
duced December Is, and Mr.. Blaine's intro
duced Friday. Neither ofthese bills is entire
ly satisfactory to southern members; that of
Mr.. Randall is Objectionable because offering
pardon gratuitously to everybody. 1t places
such men as Gordon, Lamar and others at a
disadvantage beside Toombs and men of
that stamp, who, though making no sign Of
repentance, are fully reestablished in this po-
ltical privilege. This objection would be re-
moved by Mr.. Blaine's proposed substitute,
but to pass an amnesty bill coming from the
other side would be almost too much for the
Democrats. 1t is understood that Mr.. Blaine
is strenuous on the point of making an ex-
ception against Davis, and if opportunity Of
fers will deliver a speech in which he will
prove that he was responsible for the cruel
treatment cf the Union soldiers at Anderson
vile and elsewhere, and therefore justly to be
denied pardon forever. Two courses are open
to Mr.. Randall, to accept Mr.. Blaine's amend
ment and pass the bill, or TO reject it and risk
defeat. If the bill is defeated, the Democrats
will be in the position of shutting out all the
other southern men because JEFF Davis con-
not get in.

r. II. STEVENS, ESQ.
Dear Sir-I have heard from very many sources of
the great success of VEGETINE in cases of Scroiula
Rheumatism, Kidney Complaint, Catarrh, and other
diseases of kindred nature make no hesitation in
saying that kfo,c VEGETINE to be the most reliable
remedy for Catarrh and General Debility.
My wife has been troubled with Catarrh for many
years, and at times very badly. She has thoroughly
tried every supposed remedy that we could hear of,
and with all this she has for several years been grad
ualy growing and the discharge from the head
was excessive and very offensive.
She was in this condition when she commenced to
take VEGETINE; could see that she was improving
on the second bottle. She continued taking the VEG
ETINE until she had used from twelve to fifteen bot
ties. am now happy in informing you and the pub
lie f you choose to make it public that she is en-
tirely cured, and VEGETINE accomplished the cure
after nothing else would. Hence feel justified in
saying that VEGETINE is the most reliable remedy,
and would advise all suffering humanity try it, for
believe it to be ood, honest, vegetable medicine,
and shall not hesitate to recommend it. am, &C.,
respectfully L. G. CARDELL,

THE eagerness of the Democratic House to
cut down the national expenditures is ac.
counted for by the fact that of the $50 bills on
its files 80 per cent. are claims upon the trea
ury for remuneration for damages sustained
by the South during the war. There has goi
to be great retrenchment somewhere in or.
der to pay these claims.

THE difference between the soft-money and
hard-money Democrats in Congress is more
apparent than real. The softs denounce the
object sought by bills looking to resumption,
and the hards, while protesting to approve
the object, reject each particular measure.
Both courses in the end amount to the same
thing-the defeat of all measures leading up
to resumption.

State Temperance Convention

The temperance men and women of Maine, of all
religious, political and temperance organizations, and
those not connected with either are invited to meet
at Meonian Hall. in Augusta, on Wednesday, Janu-
airy 10TH 1876, at II o'clock A M for the purpose of
holding Mass Temperance Convention.
This being the centennial year Of national ex-
istence, it is highly important and fitting that we
should meet in convention and declare ourselves free
and independent Of King Alcohol, and take every
means in our power to declare against him war Of
utter determination.
Among the many questions that it may be proper
to consider, the following important:-"What
can be done to aid the reform clubs in their noble
work?' "HOw can we encourage and help those no.
BILE women who are organizing crusade movements
and women christian temperance soceties?" Sis
there not necessity that something should be done
to more rec se6ectaay suppress the sale Of Intoxicating
Gus religious denominations of the State take more
decided and active measures in this great cause?"
"Ought not the legislative judicial executive and
municipal bodies of our state to take stronger and
more decisive measures for the suppression of the
great evil of intemperauce?" ''Shoud not the vari-
GUS temperance organizations of the state receive the
encouragement of every friend of Temperament"
1t seems to us that there has not been for several
years more favorable crisis in the temperance
movement in this state than the present. The work
done by the several temperance organizations, to-
gether with the cooperation of the faithful women
engaged in this work, should encourage every friend
of the cause and prompt to renewed diligence.
The convention will probably be continued through
Thursday. While we cannot promise free aecommo-
dation to those attending the convention, yet will
make an effort to secure board at reduced rates. The
usual reduction of fare may be expected on the sew
eral railroads and steamboats,,

A Cooperative Experiment.

In ScriOner for May, Charles Barn
ard has paper on "Some Expert
ments i'll Go operation,' in which he
speaks as follows of the Springfield
(Vt.) Industrial Works, successful
Cooperative enterprise:
AT the benches are yonng men and
women in about equal numbers, dis.
tributed according to the demands Of
the work or their own ability. Pre-.
cisely as in any mandatory, there is
regular system of work and perfect
subdivision of labor. By the peculiar
method of selection, each ono has the
work that the majority think he or
she is best suited to perform consist
sntl y with the best interests of the es-
tablishment. On going through the
various departments, one cannot fail
to notice the quiet and order that pre-
vail. There is rigid adherence TO
business that is positively refreshing.
Persons familiar with working people
in mills and shops can readily recall
that calmness of manner, and ingenui-
ty in doing nothing with apparent
energy that characterize some of the
workers. Not trace of this can be
seen in the Industrial Works.
The sun goes down, the lamps are
lighted, and the work goes on with
out pause. 1t is hammer, hammer,
hammer, with all the regularity and
twice the energy OF click. The
whirling shafts spin steadily, the
shavings fly from the planners, the
paint brushes slip along quickly in
nimble girl fingers. 1t is work, work,
work with jolly persistence. The
six o'clock bell rings, and no one
seems to discover it till the reluctant
engineer turns off the water, and the
gathering machinery runs slowly and
finally stops, as if it also held shares
in the company.
We may join them at their liberal
table forty or more young men and
women in good health and the best of
spirits They are well-dressed, intel
ligent, with manners self respectful
and courteous. After supper some
amuse themselves with books, music,
and games, and some return to the
shop for extra work. All are appar-
emily contented and happy, and all,
without exception, are making money
at rate seldom equaled by people in
'heir position.

The sky is clouded the rocks are bare,
The spray Of the tempest is white in air;
The winds are out with the waves at play
And shall not tempt the sea to-day.
The trail is narrow, the wood is dim,
The panther clings to the arching limb;
And the lions whelps are abroad. at play
And | shall not join in the chase to-day.
But the ship sailed safely over the sea,
And the hunters came from the chase in
glee;
And the town that was built upon q rock
was swallowed up in the earthquake
shock.
