New York, April 27.-At the annual
meeting of the Silk Association Of Amer
lea, F. W. Cheney was chosen President.
Reports were received which show that
the American silk manufacturers are
prospecting and rapidly meeting the de-
mands of home consumption. The total
value of American silk goods manufac-
tured in 1875 was $27, l5S,O7l. Ameri'
can silk ribbons manufactured were
valued at $4,S07, 985, and the value oil

silks and twist are stated TO be COM
peting successfully with English manu-
~facturers in the Canadian markets.
Steps were takento establish a conditions
ing bureau in this city to determine the
amount of moisture in raw silk, which is
sold by the pound, and is very sensitive
to moisture. A marked feature of the
increased activity in the silk trade at
Paterson the past year has been the i'm
migration Of a number of so-called mas

RemovIng Lies HeavIest Burder

Removing Life's Heaviest Burden.
To remove the burden Of disease, the heavi-
est that poor humanity is compelled to bear,
is certainly a grand object, a glorious mission.
Assuredly the discOverer Of a remedy which
accomplishes this result is entitled 10 the
gratitude and respect Of mankind. Such a
remedy is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, whose
great success is attributable to the fact that it,
restorative action upon the debilitated and
| disordered system Is in accordance with the
principles of common sense. 1t invigorates
the sick, and, as their strength increases, the
burden Of disease grows lighter, II reforms
those physical irregularities which render
weakness chronic, and thus eradicates the
/ evil at its very source. Liver complaint. ma
Iarious levers, constipation, urinary troubles,
uterine weakness, and many 0ther causes o.
general debility and III health, are completely
removed by the combined tonic and Alternative
operation Of the Bitters.

Hot springs, Arkansas.

The Little Rock Gazette of the 25th
says:
We have private dispatches from
Washington to the effect that the United
States Supreme Court has in all things
affirmed the judgment of tie Court OF
Claims in the Hot Springs case. Thus
the title of the property is 10 the United
States. This decision sets aside all the
private claims to title and vests it in the
United States. The reservation will
10 be subject to disposition in such
manner as Congress shall provide By
law. The individuals who have made
improvements on these lands certainly
ought to have equities in the premises,
but, at the present writing, we do not
recollect to what extent these equities
are determined by this decision.
There is one advantage, at least, that
will result from the decision, and that is
that it will quiet the title and open the
way for permanent and handsome i'm.
provements to be erected-those that
have previously been built having been
constructed with reference to the uncer-
tainty on this question, have been built
on a cheap scale, and only to meet i'm.
mediate demands.

THE CINCINNATI Commercial
seems to be going a little ahead o.
the Independent course chalked out
by the Harper's Weekly. A long
article in that paper of the 25th
begins with this paragraph: =
We are disposed to assist the Cincin.
natl Times in making known, so far as it
may be interesting, the fact that the
Cincinnati Commercial must not be
counted among the unconditional sup
porters of the nominations and the plat
form to be made by the Cincinnati Con-
vention. We shall be governed ia our
decision BY the character of the chief
candidate. II, however, a choice OF evils
is to be made, we will wait, before decid-
ing upon our course, to see what may be
done at st. Louis.
And concludes with the follow
ing:
And il the machine politicians OF the
Republican organization dare to assert
their strength in the Cincinnati Conven.
ton and nominate one Of their own sort,
then Democratic rule will be preferred
to their rule, and the Republican ma
chine will be smashed in Ohio and in
the nation. We have all along been Of
the opinion that Of the two great parties
the necessity of reformation was that the
Democratic party should die FIRST. We
feel a liability to a change Of conviction
as to the most appropriate precedence in
the march to death.
