H. Il. STEVENS, ESQ.,:
Dear Sir,-During the past FIVE years have had
ample opportunity to judge OF the merit OF VEGE-
TINE. NV wife has used 1t for complaints attending
a lady of delicate health with more beneficial results
than anything else which she ever tried q ~ have
given 1t to my children under almost every circum-
stance attending a large family, and always WIN
marked benefit I have taken 1t myself with sach
great benefit that cannot find words to express my
unqualified appreciation Of its goodness. = -. .
While performing my duties US a police ofhcer III
this city 1t has been my lot to fall In with great
deal Of sickness, L unhesitatingly recommend VEG
TINE, md never knew Of a case where 1t did not
prove all that was claimed for It. Particularly In
cases of debilitated or impoverished state OF the
blood Its effects are really wonderful; and for all
complaints arising from an impure state OF the
blood 1t appears to work like charm, and l DO not
believe there are any circumstances under which
yEGET1SE can be used with Injurious results, andit
will always afford me pleasure to give any furthef
Information as to what know about VEGETINE.

STATEMENT OF MR.. BLAINE ABOUT THAT
CALDWELL PACKAGE.
Hon. James q. Blaine made the following
statement yesterday before the sub Commit
tee OF the House Judiciary, investigating
what is known as the Blaine S64 900 bond
transactions:
II is entirely true that In the spring of ISL
and Mr.. Robinson, believe, gave the speci-
fed date from his diary-he delivered TO me
in the Speakers parlor package. should
inches long, and ABOUT inches In diameter.
I received his card while sitting in the
Speakers chair. AS soon as it became con-
ventent / went out and met him in the
Speakers parlor. He handed me the pack.
age, and said: "This is package which Mr..
Caldwell handed me for you" The package
ends tied down, and tied, / should say, al
though l cannot tell precisely at this date of
time, in very loose manner. / chatted
the Fort Smith road, and someWhat about
the coal lands In the Arkansas valley. He
then wanted TO see some member of the
House, have forgotten whom. told him
that he could have the privilege of the floor,
and he went in with me. AS passed up to
the chair threw the bundle down carelessly
1t lay there until the House adjourned, and
that had. 1t lay there for months. 1t was
a package or maps, some the descriptive
pamphlets and some of the descriptive
sketches-I mean some OF those made by In
dividuals ana not published showing the
coal fields In the Arkansas valley. II was
considered at that time, by Mr.. Caldwell and
others, that there would be quite q specula-
tiOn in buying those lands, and those allotted
off to show how much could be got in one
body. As the sections were taken alternately,
1t was very hard to get large tract together,
and very few thousand dollars would buy
q considerable quantity OF them. / think
the company offered them at five or six dol
lars an acre. This was sent to me as q pros
pectus and general setting forth Of the
merits and virtue of the speculation. did
not give great deal OF attention to 1t. had
some computations made as TO the cost of
hauling To the river; how far ii would be
nom the Arkansas river, and how much 1t
would cost by the time IL got by rail to the
mississippi. The result OF the whole thing
was that did not embark in IL. That is all
mere was In the whole story OF the package.
Ihere was nothing any more mysterious In
II than II should hand this book to the
chairman. 1t was delivered In q crowd,
carried into the House and thrown down
without care, and II lay In my room with q
miscellaneous lot of papers, probably for q
year, referring TO II every now and then.
Mr.. Robinson never delivered me q bond of
the Fort Smith and Little Rock company,
either In Washington or any other place.
desire TO make that statement as broad as II
can be made, In every shape and form, both
iDclusively and exclusively. Mr.. Chairman,
while / am here, i desire to repeat under
oath, In relation to this entire 96a 900 charge.
The statement made by me on the door of the
House, in all its parts, without mental res
ovation or purpose OF evasion, rs the IRON
clad oath says.
