HYDE PARK, .IAss., Feb. l5, 1876.
Mr.. IL Il. STEvENs:
Dear Sir-A3out ten years ago my lrealth
failed through the depicting effects Of
dyspepsia; ncarlya year later / was at
acIlcd by typhoid fever in its worst form,
settled in my back and took the form of
: large dccp~Seatcd absccss, which was
iifsccn months i'll gathcring. l had two
surgical operations, by The best skill IL
the State hut received no permanent
cure. | suffered great pain at times and
was constantly weakened by Il proiusc
| discharge. also lost small pieces ofbonc
| at different times.
Matters ran on thus abou. seven ycars1
| till May, 1874, when n friend rccum-
M"nacd me to go to YOU Office and talk
with y",l otthc virtue OF Ncgctinc. 7 did
SO. and by your Kindness PASSED through
your manrfactory, noting the ingredient
ctc., by which your remedy is produced.
By what saw and heard gained some
confidence in Ncgctnc.
| commenced taking it soon after, but
felt worse froII its effects; still | per-
severed and soon felt it was bcnciitting me
in other respects. Yet I did no} see tho
results desired, till had taken it faith
fully for little more than year. when
the difficulty III the back was cured, and
for nine months | have enjoyed the best
thcnlth.
1 have in that time gained twenty y-fivc
pounds Of flesh. being heavier than ever
lcforc III my life, and i was never moae
able to perform labor than now.
During tho past few weeks / have n
scrofulous swelling rs large as my fist
gather on another part of my body.
II | took Negctine faithfully and it re-
moved it level with TIC surface in q
month. l think l should have been
cured ofmy main trouble sooner if had
taken larger doses, after having become
accustomed to its effects.
Let your patrons troubled with scrofula
1 orkidnoy disease understand that it takes

THE PRESIDENTS POLICY.

"iou arc, of course, aware thai +
did not approve of the action which
President Hayes took with refer,
oncc to South Carolina. 1t was an
experiment, and timo alono can
vindicate his judgment. [ think
that as prime result he will find
that tho Democratic party will de-
rive all tho profit and that the
Republicans in South Carolina ut
least will remain in permanent
minority, having little or no influ-
cncc on public affairs in that iStatc.
SO far as the material and financial
interests arc concerned, the Demo.
cratic party brings moro wisdom,
moro experience and moro repre-
sentative character to tho discharge
Of the duties of the administration,
and [ can readily believe that undor
these conditions Of General Hamp-
tons administration the people will
bo satisfied. Ho is only doing what
L could and should havo done with
the samo influences around me, and
therefore [ shall heartily r2joice in
his success.

How q Merchant Was Done For,

A very ingenious swindle, says the
Boston Globe, was prcpetratei on a
prominent dry goods house by finely
dressed lady who appeared III the
shawl department., and, after a care.
full examination, selected a camcl's-
hair shawl costing about 500, for
which, SHE rendered In payment a
1000 bill, which was carefully scru~
tinized 10y the cashier, who, doubling
his own power Of discriminating, dis
patched a messenger to the bank to
ascertain the genuiuencss of the bill.
In a short time tic messenger retrun.

that the cashier of tic bank said the
bill was good. The lady upon hear
ing this waxcd exceeding wroth, and
demanded to know "whethef lie
thought that she would attempt to
pass y counterfeit bill." OF course
apologies and explanations were of
on avail She refused to purchase tho
shawl, demanded her money, and
departed from the store tho very en-.
bodimeut of righteous Indignation.
A. couple of hours aftcrward she re-
turned considerably Modified, and
confessed that She was pleased Will,
the shawl, and that her inability to
find one which she liked Us well was
the only reason she returned, conclud-
oil to take it. The ob|iyiug salesman
de|ightedly wrapped up tho s1iawl,
while the courteous, cashier, dis
daininy to entertain q suspicion a.

out the 5000 change, with which and

REpuBL1CAN Governors have hal
little or nothing to say of the politi;
cal situation in their recent annual

Illustrates the Significance of their re-

who have been expecting some of that

great anxiety for peace and quietncss
that tho Republican organs display Of
late. But the pork-stcaling in Florida
seems to have come to u sudden pause,
and even in lo"isianq there is so MUCH
noise and onfrls'rn IS General Cass r..

A Strange Amiction.

Conrad Weber, of Baltimore, young
man of German parentage, lately mar
rled, was soldier during the late war,
aud while in service acquired q fondness
for sleeping in the moonlight. Since the
war, from the LIST to the 4th of every
month: always at night, he has had fits
of the deepest melancholy. He would
remain up all night gazing at the sky,
the moon and its changes having special
fascination for him. A day or two since
he was attacked by melancholy for the
first time in the daytime, and being left
alone, he was soon afterwards found
dead, his head leaning against the wall.
He had twisted several pieces of blue
ribbon into cord, made a moose around
his neck, and fastened the other end of
the ribbon to a picture hook, drawing up
his lower limbs SO as to throw the full
weight of his body upon the moose.

The Toledo produce exchange at its session
on the 10Th inst, adopted a preamble and
resolutions referring to the depressed con-
dition of the transportation interests on lines
of business with the Erie canal, and called
on the Buffalo elevator combination to reduce
It's charge for transferring to one-half
cent. per bushel, the same to be charged to
the grain; inasmuch as vessels cannot afford
to pay one-eighth of cent per bushel in
competition with the southern railroad
routes. They also ask the cooperation of
western boards of trade and other parties
interested in securing the reduction, and
proposed, in case Buffalo charges cannot be
reduced, western grain-shipping interests
furnish floating elevators for the transfer of
grain at Buffalo.

The people Of Maine have a wonder
ful respect for law. While Congressman
FRYE and some friends were fishing Upon
one of the unpronounceable lakes in that
state, few days since, they caught
sight of moose swimming ut some little
distance. Chase was given and the
moose was lassoed by a dextrous throw
by one of the party; but no one would
Kill the unfortunate animal ON account
of the game laws. There happened to
be no law, however, against torturing
the moose by making him drag the boat
about five miles, so the Congressman and
his friends got that amount of amuse-
ment out of the poor beast before they
cut him loose and permitted him to es-
cape.
