tinued to decline, and my flesh and strength
wasted away, until was unable TO work,
or even go up stairs without great exhaus-

food distressed me, causing acidity and
pain In the stomach; and suffered from
extreme nervousness, constipation and de-

lation. and was for years suffering all the
tortures OF a confirmed dyspeptic. About
six months since concluded would try a
bottle OF PERUVIAN SYRUP, and receiy-
ed SO much benefit from 1t that purchased
nve bottles more, and have continued the
use of the SYRUP until quite recently. 1t
has restored my health TO such an extent
that feel myself as good as new. NV di-
gestion is good and my weight has increas-
ed In the past four months from 100 TO 1888
pounds; my strength has returned, and my
general health is thus wonderfully improv-

about the fact that railroads require the

Glow WAGBs."-No one should des-
Use low wages in time like the pres
ent. On the contrary, those who have
employment should be careful to hold on
to it, although the remuneration may be
small. 1t is far better to be employed at
Glow wages" than to be idle. Idleness
is injurious in many respects. 1t is ex-
pensive, since man indulges more free
ly in useless luxuries, He goes on more
excursions; smokes more segars; drinks
oftener of beer, and wears more rapidly
his best coats, hats, boots, SC. These
are small matters, but they count very
rapidly when man has no income, and
but small amount "laid up for rainy
day" "Low wages do not benefit com.
munities, but they are better than no
wages at all. They do not help to build
up rapidly they do not guarantee full
rents; they do not leave much to expend
with the merchants; or to pay for small
jobs of mechanism; or buy furniture,
But they do help to feed, clothe and edu-
cate the little ones; to keep up the hum

But any one can readily see how il

and the people must suffer immensel,
compared with the town where usefu
labor is performed. The men are KEEP
at their homes in the one case, makinl
something, and in the other they ar,
compelled to go away, decrease the pop

they do make and at last return will

about it, ''good wages" are better fol

Dear Sir-It gives me very great pleasure
TO inform you of the benefit received from
the use of PERUVIAN SYRUP in my
own family. My wife, for the past ten
years, has been in feeble health-very
much debllitated generally. Last Spring
she concluded to try bottle of PERU
WAN SYRUP, and was so we'll pleased
with the result, continued its use until three
or four bottles had been used, and she is
now in better health than at any time for
ten years, and has increased in weight from
ITO pounds 10 126k. have employed phy-
slcians, and used great variety of pal ent
medicines, to the extent of hundreds of dol
lars, and know she received more benefit
from the PERUVIAN SYRUP than all the
rest together.
Ny sales of the Syrup are very large
and constantly increasing. and do not hes.
ltate 70 recommend and even warrant it To
give satisfaction. II you desire you are at
liberty to use this communication as YOU

THE RAILROAD EMPLOYEES AND THE
GOVERNMENT EMPLoYEEs.-We cannot
for the life OF us see why government
employee should receive so much more
pay than the employee on the railroads.
The work done for the first is far more
easy than that for the latter, and surely
much more safe. A dozen brakemen on
the trains are killed to one engaged as
mail agent, letter-carrier or post-office
clerk, and intelligent men are required
IN both positions. The brakeman haz-
yards his life nearly every day and it is
doubtful whether he can perform his duty
faithfully for twenty years consecutively
without being manned or losing his life.
He is much of his time away from his
family and his home, and has to leave his
children too frequently without proper
and careful restraint. He should receive
''good wages" but what the sum should
De we cannot say. Certainly it should
be better for the railroads to increase the
rate of travel sufficient to enable them to
pay their hands 'good wages )" to enable
them to keep competent and careful men,
men who are trained to their work, than
keep about their roads incompetent men.
The lives of the passengers entrusted to
their care demand this much. We are
utterly opposed to the strikers, and be-
lieve the men who have run trains off the
track with passengers aboard should be
tried, and if guilty of "murder" accord
ing to law, should be hung. Nor do we
believe in succumbing,,to the outrageous
course pursuedby the strikers-they form
dangerous monopoly-with money
hoarded to put down, conquer or stop a
useful and necessary corporation, without
whose service all trade must cease, and

Widows who Burned.

Jung Bahadoor, the prime minister of
Nepaul, went to battle at Bagonuttee;
he entered the river before sunrise for
that purpose in the highest spirits, and
after performing his ablutions he sat ON
the bank to say his prayers. Soon after
he was noticed to be motionless. On his
followers approaching him they found
that life was extinct. An express was
sent to the capital, and orders arrived
to postpone the funeral rites to the first
OF March. The three principal RANGES
(widows), his brother and son arrived,
and the RANGES expressed their desire to
sacrifice themselves. The brother tried
to dissuade them, but he failed, and the
funeral pyre was prepared with sandal
wood, resin and a large quantity of ghee.
When the arrangements had been made
the ladies bathed, performed poojah IAN
East India sacred rite), and made pres
cnts to the Brahmins. The next step
was they took measures for the govern
ment of the country and to maintain
peace; then general directions were
given to the brother-in-law. Their last
act was to release some prisoners. They
then entered the funeral pyre quite un-
concernedly, muttering prayers. The
corpse was then laid on its back, and the
eldest rance took its head in her lap and
the two others took the feet. They were
then surrounded by odorous combusti.
| bles, and the ranees gazed upon the fea.
lures of their husband as if forgetful OF
every other consideration. The fire was
then applied by his son, and all was
over in few minutes.

Men Who Live Long.

Hufeland, public lecturer at jena, who
published work on longevity in the last
century, thus describes the sort of man
who has the best prospect of long life :
He has a well proportioned stature,
without, however, being too tall. He is
rather of the middle size, and somewhat
thick set. His complexion is not too
tiorid-at any rate, too much ruddiness
in youth is seldom sign of longevity.
Hair approaches rather to the fair than
to the black; his skin is strong, but not
rough. His head is not too big. He has
large veins at the extremities, and his
shoulders are rather round than fiat;
his neck is not too long; his belly does
not project, and his hands are large but
not too deeply cleft. His foot is rather
thick than long, and his legs are firm
and round. He has broad chest and
strong voice, and the faculty of retain
ing his breath for long time without
difficulty. In general there is complete
harmony in all his parts. His senses
are good, but not too delicate; his pulse
is slow and regular. His appetite is
good, and his digestion easy. He has
not too much thirst, which is always a
sign of rapid self-consumption. His
passions never become too violent or de-
structive. If he gives way to anger he
experiences glow of warmth without
an overfowing of the gall. He likes
employment, particularly calm medita-
ton and agreeable speculation-is an
optimist, a friend to nature and domestic
felicity-has no thirst after either honors
or riches, and banishes all thought Of to-
morrow, 't- o.

promised, are thereby preiudiced against all
medicines. Is this right Would you condemn
all physicians because one failed in giving the
relief promised? Some go to California in search
of gold, and after working hard for months
and finding none, return home and say there
is no gold there. Does that prove it :? Many
suffering with catarrh and pulmonary affections
have used the worthless preparations that
crowd the market, and in their disappointment
say there is no cure for catarrh Does that
prove it ? Does it not rather prove that they
have failed to employ the proper remedy
There are thousands of people in the United
States who can make an affidavit that DR.. Sage'S
Catarrh Remedy and DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi

and pieces of bone hadrepeatedly been removed

GunpOwder for Europe.

While state of sluggishness prevails
among our manufacturers of gunpowder
such as has rarely if ever before been
known, they are buoyed up with expec-
tations of large orders from the bellig-
erents in Europe, should q conflict ac-
tually commence. England holds the
only natural deposits of saltpeter in the
world, the entire receipts coming from
Calcutta, but here in the United States
we have liberal supplies on hand, and
though, in case of hostilities, an order
in council prohibiting the export of salt
peter from the East Indies will follow
Immediately, our manufacturers are not
in the least concerned lest the supply
fall short. A similar order was issued
during our late war nevertheless the
country was abundantly provided with
ammunition, and the ability of manu-
facturers in that crisis to meet every de-
mand is the only criterion from which to
Judge of their capacity in the future.
That the United States will be heavily
called upon for gunpowder, in case of
war in Europe, is already shown by
numerous inquiries from abroad
Russia has already made a contract for
powder, which is in course of shipment
to Cronstadt, and as well known the
Turkish government have been quietly
receiving large quantities of arms and
ammunition from this country for the
last eighteen months. Their wants APP
parently have only been restricted by
the available quantity of piasters. Rus
sia is not likely to buy much in England
and the relations of the British govern
ment to either of the probable combat
ants are such that she cannot afford tc
hazard her neutral position. Therefore
it is reasoned, purchases of war materia
will be made largely of a neutral power
far removed from the conflict, and on
upon whom there can be entire reliance
