Railroad Strikers.

Tho employees Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad have inaguratcd a worry
formidable strike, and refused to al
low now mon to tako !heir place
Tho movement commenced at Mar.
tinsburg, West Va, and soon spread
tho entiro length ef tho Road. Gov.
Andrews, of Wost Va, called out the
militia, but finding that ho was pow-
oriess to suppress the strikers, made u
formal call on tho President for troops.
The call was complied with, and tho
troops bavo boon scattered along tho
route, but thus far have failod to re-
store order. Tho strikors rofi,se to
permit any freight train to pass. Tho
Governors of Maryland, Pennsylvania
and Ohio have also issued proclama.
tlons against tho strikers. AS tho
9th Rogimont was marching from it's
&rmory in Baltimore to proceed to
Cumberland, thoy wero stoned and
tirod into by crowd on the street,
Tho regiment frod into tho crowd
and'a number woro killed and wound
cd. Much excitement prevails along
the line, and great deal Of trouble
is anticipated. Tho strike was inau,
gurated on account Of reduction OF
wages. Tho brakcmon and firomcn
on tho Now York and Brio Railroad
have struck also. Tho employees on
all tho Railroads between tho East
and West arc. threatening a strike,
and say they will stop tho passage of

VEGETINE

It's medical properties are Alternative, Tonic,
Solvent, and Diuretio. There is no disease
of the human system for which the VEGETINE
cannot be used with perfect safety, as it does
not contain any metallic or poisonous COM
pound. II is composed exclusively of barks,
roots, and herbs; it is very pleasant to take;
every child likes it. It is safe and reliable,
as the following evidence will show:

The following unsolicited testimonial from
Rev. o. T. Walker, ID, formerly pastor of
Bowdoin-square church, Boston, and at pre-

fail to observe that this testimonial is the re-

Vogetine in the Rev. Mr.. Walkers family,

What the Billions Rannire.

Since torpidity of the liver is the chief cause
OF its disorder, it is evident that what the
bilious require is an Alternative stimulant
which will arouse it to activity, an effect that
is followed by the disappearance of the va
rlous symptoms indicative of its arrangement.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters invariably achieve
the primary result mentioned, besides remov.
ing the constipation, fatulenoc, heartburn

pain in the right side and under the right
shoulder, nausea, vertigo and sick headache,
t" which bilious invalids are peculiarly SUBJ
ject' AS o remedy for chronic indigestion,

s .ers are equally eticaoious, and as a renovant
of lost vigor, means of arrestinp premature
decay. and a source of relief from the infirmi-
ties to which the gentler sex is peculiarly
subject, they may be thoroughly relied upon.

they arc only receivable from those

such bad coughing spells that it would seem
rs though | could never breathe any more,

Liberia Fever.

The negroes about Charleston have
taken the Liberia fover and arc Or
ganizipg for the purpose of going to
that country. Several meetings have.
been hold, and we believe it was re-
solved to send a committee over there
who arc to report back tho advan-
tagos in that country, if any, ovor this
before tho hogira sots in. Daddy
Cain is said to DO at tho head Of the
movement, which in our opinion is
evidence that thoro is job in it, of
some sort. and that thoro is not likely
to bo any emmigration to Liberia of
any consequence. We arc satisfied
that it would bo much bettor for tho
negro to romain in this country and
mako torms with the native whito
people, but if thoy want to ommigrato
TO Liberia, thoy arc free people and
can do SO, and we shall not make any
serious objections to their going. But
whom they 20 wo want them to be
suro TO tako with them Daddy Cain,
II. b. Elliott, and n host of othcr un-
scrupulous leaders Of thoir own color,
who have already brought much
trouble upon thom. Then there is
another class OF pooplo who wo would
not havo them forgot. 4 their whito
leaders, carpet baggor and scalawag,
who have dono so much for tho poor
colorcd people, in the way Of holding
all tho Offices within their gift, should
bc carried along to assist them in Or
ganizing government, on tho great
moral idoa principle, and ''provcnt the
whites from romanding thom back to
| slavery" If thoy will talko this class
along with thom, VIC say by all means
let them go, and if necessary, will
contribute something to that purpose.

The Seattle Dispatch" is credited
with the following which is about as
near the mark as anything discovered
lately; A newspaper is curious
species Of property. 1t is difficult
to establish, and almost as difficult to
injure by rivalry. Az old newspaper
is like an old bank or a long -estab-
lished business house. The COM
munity patronize from the force Of
habit, and cannot be induced, save
under exceptional circumstances, to
forego their patronage, Sometimes
they get down on it, and once in a
long while it passes through spell
OF unpopulari,y on account of its
position on some local or political
question, but its old patrons continue
to read it, and advertise in it, and to
send in their jobs, and the paper goes
on its way through the storm out into
the sunshine again.

leaving its ghastly contribution OF dead and
wounded. Only at the close Of day, when
the Russian line staggered before the
Turkish fire, did Osman Pasha give word
to attack, and from the firm and steady
defense the Turks assumed the offensive,
rushing upon their foes with overwhelm-
ing force and audacity, and at night Os-
man Pasha was victorious along the en-
tire line of battle. Losses on both sides
were heavy, but heaviest on the Russian
side from the Openness, boldness and per-
sistency Of their attacks and the compara-
lively sheltered position of the Turks.

The following picture of struggle
between Russia and Turkey, drawn
by Voltarie, is about as true now as
in in the lifetime of the celebrated
philosopher of Ferney: A hundred
thousand mad animals, whose heads
are covered with hats, advance to kill
or to be killed by their fellow mortals
covered with turbans. BY this strange
procedure they want to know whe.
ther tract Of land to which none of
them has any claim should belong to
a certain man whom they call the Sui
tan, or another whom they call czar
neither of whom ever saw or ever
will see the spot so furiously conten-
ded for; and very few of those crea-
lures who thus mutually butcher
each other ever beheld the animal
for whom they cut each others
throats.
