The Republican Credit MObilier.

BY means of the Credit MObilier
S50,000,000 were stolen in the
construction of the Pacific Railroad.
Under the acts of 1862 and 1864 the
Union Pacific Road obtained 12,000,-
600 acres of land, and guaranteed bonds
amounting to S27 100000. Its assets,
independent of the land, amounted to
Sill, 100000. The total cost of the
railroad company of the three con-
struction contracts-Hoxie's, Ames'
and Davis-was 500, DAG, 2S7; the total
cost to the contractors was $50, 100. 95S,
making Il total profit to contractors of
So, S25 1928. Shares of this enOr-
nous profitable stock were distributed
among prominent members of the
House and Senate to aid legislation.
Among those who had transactions in
it were Dawes, Wilson, Scofeld, Gar
field Logan, Harlan, Patterson, Col
fax, all Republicans. The Republican
House whitewashed them all, making
scapegoats of Oaks Ames Republican
and James Brooks, the only Democrat
involved.

q Farmers Song.

We envy not a princcly man,
Ia city or in town,
Who wonders whether pumpkin vines
Run up the hill or down:
We care not for his marble halls,
Nor vet bic heaps Of gold
We would not own his sordid heart
For all his wealth thrice tod.
We are the favored ones of earth,
We breathe pure air each morn;
We SOW: We reap the golden grain:
We gather ~ the corn:
We toll We live on what W" earn,
Aud More than this We do
We hear OF starving millions round,
Aud gladly feed them too.
The LAWYER lives on princely fees,
Yet ira.s a weary life;
lie never knows peaceful hour
His atmosphere IL strife
The merchants thumbs his yard stick o'el
Grows rugged ut his toll
| Hes not the man God meant him for
Why don't you ill the soil E?
The doctor plols thro' storm and cold,
Plods at his IaticnI's will;
When dead and gone he plods again
To yet his lengthy Hill.
The printer (hlcss his noble suulD

And stamps it ON our daily sheet,

We sing the honor OF the pIow,
And honor TO the press
| Two ollc instruments of toll,
With each power TO bless.
The bone, the nerve, of this fart age,
True wealth Of human kind
One tills the ever generous Garth,
The other tills the mind.
| I'm thankful that the sun and moon
Are both hung up so high,
That no prOsun. Piuous hand can strctcl

The third of a series of lectures before
the Young Mems Christian Association
of the Church of the Disciples, at Madison
avenue and Forty fifth street, was deliv-
cred last evening, by William A. Ham
mond, M. D., (who is famous for his study
and treatment of nervous and brain dis
eases), to an audience exclusively of gen.
tlemen. The subject was The Use and
Abuse of our Minds.''
DR.. Hammond, after speaking of the
different kinds of nervous tissue, and the
brains of animals, said that the faculties
of the mind were Invisible into perception,
intellect, emotion and will. 1t was dan
CerOus to health to Over-eXert the mind bV
the use of any of these faculties to a con-
siderable extent. However, he had never
seen man who was injured by too much
perception, and very few were injured by
too much intellectual labor. A majority
of the cases of brain troubles were caused
by emotion. Severe intellectual labor
was less injurious than strong emotions.
More injury was produced by the anxiety
of man who anticipated possible trouble,
than by the real trouble. Every expert
ment showed that the brain was the organ
of the mind. There was continual con-
sumption of brain substance going on.
When persons thought, they burned the
brain, and the ashes, phosphate, of ammo
MIA, were taken up by the blood and
given off through the excretions. By
carefully estimating the amount of these
ashes, one could tell approximately the
amount of intellectual labor There was
nothing more injurious than too much
anxiety. In such cases the appetite failed
and the brain was consumed faster than
the tissue could be supplied from the food
Some try to get relief by drinking whisky,
but it was very bad way it simply
postponed the trouble. No organ in the
body was as strong as the Drain. If q man
slept six to eight hours, he could work as
hard as he wished to, within reason, the
rest of the twenty-four. The mind should
never. BE concentrated too long ON one sub
ject. Persons should always have we'll
selected intellectual amusements.-N. Y.

DIR. schenck,s standard Remedies.

THE standard remedies for all diseases of the
lungs are SoHENCK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SCHENcK's
SEA WEED Tonic and ScHENCK's MANDRAKE
PILLS, and, if taken before the lungs destroyed,
q speedy cure is effected
To these three medicines DR.. j. II. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter
in the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy ex-
pectoration. for when the phlegm matter is ripe
slight cough will throw it of, the patient has rest
and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schencks Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act
on the liver removing all distractions, relax the
galbladder the bile starts freely and the liver is
soon relieved. eH
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alka of which it is composed,
mixes with the food and prevents souring. 1t as
sists the digestion by toning up the stomach to a
healthy condition, so that the food and the Pull
monte Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs
heal and the patient will surely get well if care is
taken to prevent fresh cold.
! All who wish to consult DR.. Schenck, either per-
sonally by letter. can do so at his principal Of
fee, corner of Sixth and ARCH STs., Philadelphia,
every Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country.

Meal and Hay for Fattenfng Stock.

An old farmer who has been accus-
toned to feed and fatten a few animals,
has recorded small item of his practice
in regard to feeding raw meal against
cooked meal. He writes:
"My practice in fattening beef and
swine, as we'll as feeding cows for milk,
has been to pour boiling water on as
much meal as would not make the ami
malls bowels move too freely, at night,
and in the morning; when the mush is
cool, give it to the COW or pig. In COW
ering the meal with boiling water in
this way, the starch of the grain is dis
solved, and the latent nutritive properties
extracted, and the animal receives the
entire nutriment of the grain. | have for
two years past fatted two ordinary sized
cows, feeding only hay, and only 300
pounds each of the former, and each
yielded upward of forty pounds ofrcughl
tallow. Salt was given once week, and
occasionally tablespoonful of wood
ashes. In my experience 100 pounds
scalded and fed as above is equal to 300
pounds fed dry"
Live stock do not, in eating dry meal F.,
receive more than one-half of the goodness
of the meal, or there would not be so many
farmers as he knows who feed from four
to eight quarts of meal day to one beef
creature, till they feed from seven to ten
cwt of meal to one animal. Those farm
ers never slaughter an ordinary sized beef
that yields upward of forty pounds of
rough tallow.-Rural Neao Yorker.

How often do we hear this question asked
by persons suffering from dizziness and pain
in the head, with dull, stupid feeling, pain
in the side, back or shoulder, heavy load
on the stomach after eating, faint, all-gone
sensation at the pit of the stomach that food
does not satisfy,a cold, clammy feeling in
the hands and feet, with hot flashes at times,
bad taste in the mouth, with foul breath,
attended with great depression of the nerv-
Gus system and evil forebodings, and with a
tired weakness that sleep don'trelieve, urine
scanty at times, with a sediment after stand
ing. One physician calls the disease liver
complaint, another kidney disease, another
dyspepsia, and still another impurity of the
blood But none succeed in effecting cure.
The fact is that these symptoms indicate
that all of these diseases are present to-
gether, and to remove these symptoms we
must take remedy that will act upon all of
these organs at once. The best article that
we know of is made by the Shakers, and is
called SHAKER EXTRACT OF Roofs, OR CURA-
TIVE SYRUP (not patent medicine). Sold

THE Buffalo Courier says: An attorney
employed by the defaulting and fugitive
treasurer of Saratoga County has made the
remarkably discovery that said official,
instead of having defrauded the county
out OF over 500, 900, is really its creditor
for over $4,000, having during the year
paid out large amount from his own
means without knowing it-enough to
cover the forged issue of bonds and leave
the handsome balance indicated" Who
knows but Winslow may have made a
similar mistake?

A CORRESPONDENT OF Land and Water
proves the fact that vultures are guided to
their feasts, not by the eye but by scent.
He shot large parish dog through the
heart one day near dark bungalow in
India, causing pool of blood. Half an
hour after he saw an approaching vulture
soaring in the air, then circle, and finally
settle upon the carcase. Ere long a Sec
ond followed, then third, till dozen
mustered. Now, all these vultures came
from one direction of the compass, that
one being the direction in which the wind
blew. All of them described circles on
approaching the region. in order to fix
the exact spot of the carrion, to which the
eye finally guided them.

The Sunday Question.

ElltosO the lntelligencer
There is 10 commandment given 10
Christians anywhere in the New Testa-
ment to keep the Sabbath or Sunday, for
the Sabbath was only type and was full
filled in Christ, as the Apostle Paul in his
epistle TO the Hebrews truly says: ave
which have believed do enter into rest"
.Othcrs could not enter because Of unbe-
lief" And in his epistle to the Galatians
he rebukes them for keeping days and
times, because the Son OF God had re-
deemed them from under the law, and
they were all children OF God by faith in
Christ, and not by the keeping Of days
aud ceremonies. And in his epistle to the
ColloSSians he tells them that they were
complete in Christ, he having blotted out
the handwriting OF ordinances that was
against us, and nailed it to his cross, 30
making peace for us. And he further
says: "Lct no man therefore Judge you
in meat or in drink, or in respect OF an
holy day, or Of the Sabbath days, which
IRE sEadow of things to come, but tho
body is Of Christ" From the above and
many similar passages in the New Testa-
mcnt we can easily see that the keeping
ol days like n great many other idolatties
in tho churches, as also our present &C.
we're Sunday laws, were later invention
OF those who seek their gain and saliva
ton in such things, and not like the Apps.
ties and first Christians through simple
faith in Christ only. "By their fruits ye
shall know them. For they bind heavy
burdens and grievances to be borne and
lay them on mems shoulders; but they
themselves will not move them with one
Of their fingers" A BELIEVER.
