drake, Y elbow Dock-with the Iodides
Of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full Alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still so effectual as
| to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent physicians all over
the country repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stantly being received, and as many
OF these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence Of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other Alternative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
40 no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

gaeat Blood Remedy, VEGETIFE, and feel it a
duty to acknowledge the great benefit it has done
me. In the Spring of the yeaa 1862, 1 was sick

of sleep and proper rest. was very weak and
much emaciated. tried many remedies with
out receiving any benefit from any of them un-
til was persuaded to try NEGErINE. Before i
had taken this one week, my impoved condition
gave ME renewed hopeand courage. continued
to take it every day gaining more strength until
was completely restored to helath. The effect
of this remedy, in case of general debility is in
deed marvellous.

DoUBTs IN EUROPE.

diplomacy has not YET. said its last
word" This is the judgment of the
London Times on the doubtful condi-
ton Of peace in Europe. 1t is possible
that the Times is right, and that nego-
tiation may yet drag its tedious length
through q few additional days, and
supply q few more last words; for the
roads from tho Pruth are perhaps not
Yeti precisely the most desirable con-
dition. But the result will be the same,
whether it comes tomorrow or next
month, and the possibility of averting
war is not apparent. An effort is made
In England quite naturally to put upon
an act Of Russia the responsibility OF
being at last the direct cause of the
war. It is said that Russia has been
too hasty. and has unjustifiably used
the protocol as the basis Of an ulti.
matum, and demanded peremptorily an
immediate answer. But Turkey has
not objected to answering on n day
rather than another, and has objected
specifically to England's part OF the
protocol and documents. That, there
fore, does not leave the responsibility
on Russia.

SOME CURIOUS FIGURES.

We find in a Maine paper some ell.
rious figures regarding the depletion
of the population of that State. After
stating that the agency of n railroad
had sold eighty tickets in a single week
for the Black Hills and California, the
journal in question produces statistics
to show that a startling retrogression
has been going on during the last sew
enteen years. In 1910 the increase in
population from the previous decennial
census was over 100000. In 1850 the
increase was over 81, 900 and in 1860
trife more than $4,000. But coming
down to 1870 an actual loss of 1864
appears, and the estimated loss for the
five years following has been nearly
1900. Massachusetts,. is contrasted
with this and shows a ten years
increase of over 226 900 in 1870,
and an estimated increase OF
more than $4,000 in 1875. And
now the funny part of the
story. In casting about for an expla-
nation of this unprecedented stagna-
ton and decline, the authority quoted
arrives at the conclusion that the
whole disastrous business is chiefly
due to the stringent and unwise pro-
hibitory liquor laws of the Pine-tree
State. This is a novel idea, as original
as it is refreshing, but we a now see
why 1t was that the Democratic vote in
other sections Of the Union was so
largely increased at the late election.

THE REPORT OF THE GRAND
JURY.

The Grand Jury for the March term
of the District Court made its final re-
port yesterday and was discharged.
The full text of the document will be
found in our local columns. The ses-
sion of the jury was necessarily pro-
tracted, owing to difficulty in getting
at the bottom of some of the criminal
matters which came up for considera-
ton and investigation. The work of
the body, however, seems to have been
most thorough, resulting in eighteen
true bills of indictment. But n bill
was ignored. In explanation of the
indictments presented against some of
our most prominent business men, it
should be stated that they are not al
legged to be guilty of any greater Of
Tense than that of o%bstructing the pub
lie streets. This will strike the COM
mon understanding as being a rather
stilted, expensive and round about
way Of getting at petty infractions Of
the law, ever though the District At
torney should be fortified with the
necessary statutory authority to in
sure convictions, a fact concerning
which non lawyers, at least, may be
permitted to entertain grave doubts.
The books of the several county otfi-
GERS were found correct and neatly
kept. The county buildings, with the
exception of the roof of the hospital,
are reported to be in a satisfactory con-
dition. The streets, the jury informs
US, are in anything but a lovely
plight, a statement of fact, which we
presume will not be disputed by any
one who has eyes to see and a nose to
smell.

Mr.. Speaker Mighels, of the Carson
Appeal, is still gnawing a file. He
takes the medicine good naturally,
though, as is exemplitied in the fol-
lowing racy extract from a recent issue
of his paper:
President Hayes policy is received
with great satisfaction in Louisiana
by the Louisiana Tigers. Never since
the successful charge of the Black
horse cavalry at Bull Run has the
heart of the Tiger been more exultant.
The Yankees who dared to settle in
that Stale after the war are not so
well pleased, nor are the colored peo-
pie who sympathize with Eliza Pink
ston. Black Republicans who have
hoisted the bloody shirt are inclined
to murmur; but the true gentle
men Of the South sympathize with the
hitherto duwn-trodden Nichols and
Join him in singing praises to the new
President. We learn by telegraph that
Mr.. Nichols suite have preambled and
resolved that Hayes policy is the cor
rect and constitutional thing; also they
have requested the "the GOVERNOR"
meaning Mr.. Nichols. and not Mr..
Packard, to forward a copy of their
resolutions to the President. II Mr..
Morrisey had succeeded in electing
MIR. Tilden he could not have cheered
the Southern heart more thoroughly
than MIR. Stanley Matthew'S friend
Hayes is cheering it. 1t was a funny
election for Dixie, as things turn
out. 1t was ''heads l win, tails you
lose" How we Radicals did work
for this "era of good feeling" We,
better than the Southern Democrats
themselves, knew what they needed.
We gave them their faithful friend,
Rutherford. The late Confederacy
and the Lost Cause their victory
to Nevada. II we had withheld II
three electoral votes from Bishop,
Daggett and Tufly, and given them
to Currie, Hagerman and Blenner-
hassett, Mr.. Beauregard's friends
would have had to deal with Mr..
Morrisey instead of Mr.. Matthews.
A faro dealer and retired participant
in the p. r. would have been their
man instead of a barrister and a
cousin-in-law. We were a blessing in
disguise!
