port on the headst0ne contract that the award
was in disregard of official duty and prejudi-
cial to the interests of the government. That

tract is now in the hands of honest persons for
completion, under transfer made at the in

mttee do not deem it necessary to offer any

With respect to whatever surplus of legal

in use, and which in order to save interest will
be returned for redemption, they can either be
paid Or they can be funded whether they con-
tnue as currency or be absorbed into the vast
mass of securities held as investment, is mere
" a question of the rate of interest they draw.
Even if they were to remain in their present
form and the government were to agree to pay
on them a rate of interest making them desira-

Promise and Performance.

The proprietors of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
promise nothing in behalf of this famous tonic and
regulating elixir which it will not perform. No pre-
tensions irreconcilable with common sense are made
in reference to it, bnt evidence of the most positive
nature has been accumulating for over quarter of
century in its behalf which proves it to be reliable
preventive and curative of malaral diseases, eff
Gent and genial tonic and general corrective, and
specially valuable in cases where the bowels, liver,
stomach urinary organs are affected. Debility the
from whence so many bodily evils spring. is
entirely remedied by the invgorative action of the
Bitters which arrests premature decay and repairs
losses of nervous and muscular power while improv-
ing the appetite and rendering digestion easy.
