VEG TIN E.
Will Cleanse Scrofula from
the System.
HONEST OPINION.


DEAR SIR-This is To show that my son
was taken sick in January, 1854, with
ScrofulR, which came out in large sores
and ulcers on his leg and hip. His leg was
swe,led more than twice its natural size.
He had several doctors OF high standing in
their profession-two from Boston and
three from CharleStOwn- without getting a
bit better. He was Obliged TO lie wherever
he was placed, for he had no Use of his
limbs whatever. When we had given up
all hopes of his living we were told To try
Vegetine, the great blood remedy and he
had taken IL but y short time before we
could see great change. The sores run so
bad that we had Ia change the cloths four
or five times day. Still, he was getting
better; for he could move his limbs and
help himself n little. He was soon able TO
sit up in bed, and. by constant use Of Ne-c-
tine, II has cured him. lie has lame leg
which he will probably have for life: but
we all honestly believe II we had used
Negetine before We had bothered with
those doctors. IL would have saved the use
OF his leg. and restored IL TO natural health.
i hope all those troubled with Scrofula
will read this testimony OF me and my son,
who is now we'll and able 10 speak for him.

The above plain bnt honest statement
conclusively shows the quick and

Mcmillan, from the committee on commerce,
presented bill 10 exempt all vessels engaged
In navigation on the Mississippi river above
New Orleans, and it's tributaries, from entrano-
es and clearances.
The Senate, on the 5th, adopted the
House resolution to adjourn from the 9th to
the l2th to attend the opening OF the Centen-
NAL exposition. After the introduction of
several unimportant bills the senate resumed
consideration Of the articles oc impeachment,
and listened TO arguments by Carpenter aud
Knott.
The House appropriated "a. GOO for
ventilating the hall, after which, adjourned.
The impeachment proceedings in
the Senate, ON the 9th, were OF more interest
than cominon, notwithstanding the contin.
ued illness ofRepresentatiye Knott. Senator
Conkling submitted two questions TO the
managers, both to the effect that private
citizen was or was not liable TO impeachment
by Congress. Senator Mitchell, Of Oregon,
also propoynded a question regarding the
same point. MIR. Hoar made am argument
maintaining the jurisdiction Of the Senate,
and in his peroration was loudly cheered.
In the House a motion to increase
in the postal bill, the item for the eompensa-
ton of postmasters $500, 900, was adopted Il
was proposed to strike out the clause abol-
shing the free delivery system in all cities OF
less than 4O, 900 inhabitants, but no vote was
taken.

LINCoLN's ASSASSINATION.

Y. Tribune.
An interesting incident which fore.
Swallowed the tragic fate of President
Lincoln, but which has never before
found its way into print, is vouched
for by number of persons, still in
Washington, and who were witnesses
of it. On the day when Mr.. Lincoln
was inaugWated the second time in
1865, and Just as he had passed from
the rotmda of the Capitol to the plat
form at the east pOrtico, where his in
augural was to be delivered. man
who was recognized by several per-
sons 10 he John Wilkes Booth, pushed
hurriedly through the passage leading
from the Senate Chamber to the TO-
tunda. and in an excited and determin-
ed manner broke through the line of
policemen which kept the crowd back
from the procession, and made des-
perate effort To reach the eastern door
of the Capitol. He was discovered by
a member of the Capitol Police-Mr. J.
W. Westfall of New York-who on
several occasions before as well
as since, has given evidences of
his faithfulness and efficiency. lie
seized the excited stranger, and after
a severe struggle during which Major
b. b. French. then Commissioner of
Public Buildings, at the suggestion OF
Mr.. Westfall, caused the door to be
closed and aid furnished, succeeded i'm
forcing him back into the crowd.
Booth had already been noticed by at
least two persons who knew him, pass
ing rapidly from the direction Of the
Senate Chamber toward the rotmda,
and some idea of his determination to
reach the inaugural platform may be
formed from the fact that he broke
away from the man who first seized
him, MIR. Westfall, and but for the
closing Of the door he would probably
have accomplished his purpose, what.
ever il WAS.

THE HARPERS' WEALTH.

In an article on Fletcher Harper,
The New York Weekly says: Upon
the death of Wesley Harper, in 1870,
a new organization was inevitable.
Each of the brothers had one son or
more, now grown to mans estate, who
had been trained In the business
each one specially in some particular
department of il, hut each with gen
eral knowledge of the whole. Each of
these had naturally become the special
assistant of the father. These were
all admitted as members of the firm,
soon no longer to be Harper 4 Broth
ers, though still retaining the old des-
ignation. The present members are
Fletcher Harper and his son, Fletcher,
Jr., was born in 1929, Philip j. a. son
of Jamee, born in 1924; John Wesley,
born in 1880, and Joseph Abner, born
in 1888, sons of John: and Joseph Wes-
ley, born in 1880, son OF Wesley.
There are also grandsons of the origi-
nal members who have important
places in the establishment.
OF the wealth of the firm no one but
themselves can speak with any GER
tainty of being even approximately
correct. There is no reason To sup
pose that it approaches III amount that
left by Aston or Stewart. or that held
by Vanderbilt, and it is, undoubtedly,
surpassed by that of several magnates
of the commercial and financial world.
But 1t is the accumulation of SO years
of marked and uninterrupted success.
Probably there has not been for half
a century single year, except that of
their great fire, when they were not
considerably richer at the close than
they had been at the commencement.
The establishment in Franklin square,
including buildings, machinery and
stereotype plates, must be worth at
least 2,000,000 Of 5000, 900, and very
probably considerably more. The an
nual profits of the three periodicals
for the last ten years can harly be less
than 400 900, and this by no means the
main source of income, for every one
of the thousands of volumes on their
list is presumed to afford a consider
able, and not few of them very
large profit year by year Making al
lowance for Il liberal, though by no
means lavish personal and household
expenditure, the annual aggregate of
of capitalized profits must be very
large; and there can he no room for
doubt that the firm, of which Fletcher
Harper is the senior member, must
stand high up in the list of American
millionaries.

Remarkable Escape from Death.

A singular accident occurred few
days since in the town of Coralville, Ia A
little boy, only FIVE years old, was playing
about the pool above the dam, from which
the water flows some hundred feet under

date search was made 10y his parents, but
they were unable TO find him. A short time
after, and when all hope had been banished

paper mill happened down by the wheel
where the water discharges under the ground
