A VALUABLE MEDICINE Buchu in
various forms has for many years been one
OF the chief articles in the Mdterid Medica
for the treatment of certain diseases,
among which are chiefly those affecting
the urinary, digestive, and circulatory or
gans. The difficulty that was long ex-
penenced in obtaining preparation of
this valuable drug that could always be
relied upon for uniformity in strength and
absolute purity led to the introduction of
Helm holds Extract Of Buchu, which for
the last quarter of a century has been ex-
tensively used both by physicians and in
house and family practice, and with very
gratifying success. This medicine, like
every other valuable thing, has been imi-
tated, and those who have use for it will
do well to see that the obtain the GENUINE
''Helmbold Buchu,n the only pure and
reliable preparation.

Grace. Mercy and Peace.

PHILADELPHIA Ledger's New York Corresponce.
There has been some whisperings OF
late over in Brooklyn that there was to be,
ere long, a grand reconciliation of all the
parties to the recent suit of Tilton VS..
Beecher. The story goes that overtures
to that effect have been made by party
authorized to act for the pastor himself,
the only motive on his part being the
Christina obligation to forgive our enemies.
The story further goes. that similar over
lures have been made by parties friendly
to Theodore Tilton. and that the uegotia-
tons have proceeded so favorably that the
reconciliation will probably be accom- plish-
ed upon Tilton's return from Europe,
whittier he goes with his two daughters on
Saturday next 1t is also understood that
Mrs. Tilton is to be participant 10 the
reconciliation, and this will lead to the
restoration of her broken.home.

there are many others, and, if any one i;
true, it is probably greatly exaggerated.

FIELD IN DISGRACE.

The new Democratic Congressman,
Field, who has made himself SO conspic-
uous since he became member of that
body, in being ready to do any dirty
work required by Tilden. has at last
gone SO far III his extreme dirtiness and
violation of all rules OF honor and do
cency, as to call forth the repriunands of,
even his associate Democrats. He is a
member of the House committee on
privileges, and he has used his position
III garbling the testimony taken before
she committee and getting the same
published, without the consent of any
-ot the committee, before the committee
had finished It's work or had authorized
any report whatever. 1t is pronounced
the dirtiest trick ever before performed
by any Congressman. Knott and
Sparks united with Lawrence in de-
,nouncing the printing of the testimony
rs described, disclaiming all knowledge
. Of how or by whom done. Being thus
deserted by his party friends, Field be-
came very much embarrassed, confessed
be was guilty OF the dirty trick, said he
was sorry, and asked tho forgiveness OF
the members of the committee. And
he was not only forgiven, but Field was
allowed the privilege Of having the evi-
dence of the contemptiblc trick stricken
from the recOrdl Had . Republican
