THE oRTANT QUEsTIoN.-Of all
loathsome diseases Catarrh stands pre- emf
nent. 1t renders its victim as disgusting
to himself as to others. And the most
humiliating of all is the consciousness that
his presence is offensive to those around
him. If any disease deserves the name of
universal, it is this. Dietetc errors and
the follies which Fashion imposes upon us
tend to foster and disseminate it. To the
pitiful cry of its Victims is there any cure
for Catarrh' there is but one answer con
sistent with Christian reason. God has
never sent one evil into the world for which
he has not sent the remedy. For the great
est of all spiritual aud moral evils, the
Great Physician has prescribed potent
and neveI-failing remedy. He has given
explicit rules for the treatment and preser-
vation of the spiritual and moral man, but
He is silent in all matters relating to the
physical man. 1t would be an unwarranta .
BILE Distraction from His beneficent charac-
ter to suppose that He has afflicted the
greater portion of humanity with an incur
able disease. The day of plaques is past.
The God of Christianity is a God of Love,
of Mercy, His message is "good will to all
men, The earth and all contained therein
was intended by the great Designer to sup
ply mans wants; and surely he has on
greater wants than remedies for his inlirmi-
ties. Science is rapidly proving that the
earth is fitted to supply mans uttermost
need. New medicinal plants are constantly
being discovered and new properties devel
oped from those already known. For Ca
tarrh the most potent remedy yet discov-
cred is DR.. Sage's Catarrh remedy. Its
efficacy has been tested in many thousand
cases with uniform success. Cases that
had been repeatedly pronounced incurable,
readily yielded to it. In confirmed or OBJ
stinate cases, Dr. Pierces Golden Discov
cry should be taken in connection with the
use of the Catarrh remedy. Full particu-
lars in Pierce's Memorandum Books. They
are given away by druggists.

GRANT IN EUROPE.

Last week, when General Grant took
his leave of this country, at Philadel-
phia, the people of that city We'd with
each other in doing honor to their part
ing guest As the head of the nation,
General Grant has been assailed with
that wholesale abuse and denunciation
which Americans delight in heaping
upon their public men; but underneath
all this abuse there is, and ever has
been, genuine admiration of and re-
spect for Gen. Grant among all classes,
even among those who are politically
opposed to him, the Democratic Office
seeker alone excepted. When he has
more fully dropped out of the political
arena, the American people will come
to value his services as President as
highly as they do his career as soldier.
The leading men of Europe, not be-
ing prejudiced or swayed by the drift
Of our politics, already appreciate him,
both as soldier and executive and are
prepared to honor him accordingly.
Already the British Cabinet are dis
cussing the ceremony of reception to
be accorded him. The decision arrived
at is, that he shall be received with all
the honors which are usually bestowed
upon those who have held the first posi-
tion in a nation. 1t is natural that he
should be received in foreign countries
with much enthusiasm and distinguish
ed honors. He is recognized, first, as
one of the greatest generals Of the age,
whose exploits in command of our
armies commanded the attention of all
people and elected their admiration.
Then, having been twice chosen Presi-
dent he so directed our foreign inter-
course as to prevent all discord and
misunderstanding, and to command the
respect of all governments Honor to
Gen. Grant in Europe is honor to the
American nation, and the people Of
this country cannot fail to be gratiied
thereby

A NATIONAL DISGRACE.

The history of the scurvy treatment
of the officers of the army and navy at
the hands Of the last Congress, forms
one of the disgraceful chapters of Amer-
can partisan politics. \ cotorie of ac-
cidental political leaders, the most of
whom would not hesitate to encourage
any species of political dishonesty that
would result in their personal profit,
under the popular cry of reform, perpe-
trated an unmitigated fraud upon the
people, by refusing the necessary appro-
priations for the army and navy, with
a full knowledge of the fact that they
were creating deficiency which sooner
or later the Government must meet,
and for refusing which there was no
earthly pretext other than a clap-trap
Democratic demand for Governmental
retrenchment.
Notice the case of the appropriation
for the navy. The actual and specific
sum required to maintain this branch of
the service, can be and was accurately
ascertained, and asked for by the Sec
retary. The pay rolls of that depart
ment are made up, and the amount
required to meet its expenses is as
definitely ascertained, as the monthly
or quarterly estimates of expenses of
any civil branch of the public service,
private corporation or business estab-
lishment. But, unfortunately, when the
Secretary Of the Navy sent his estimate
to the Lower House, it was not legis-
lating in behalf of the Government or
public interests. 1t was simply arrang-
ing the Democratic programme for the
Presidential canvass. They held the
National purse strings. Recklessly dis
honest though the act was, they appro-
priated nearl y two millions of dollars
less than the actual expenses of the
service required.
The economical hit was d palpablv
Democratic one 1t was directed against
Republican Administration, as a pre-
tended rebuke of supposed or assumed
extravaganza ofexpenditure The fraud
was heralded the country over Hol-
man, Randall, Cox, and the rest of this
kidney of political economists congrat-
ulated the people of the Nation upon
the sincerity of the act Democrats
applauded the fraud, and repeated the
story of false pretences, as an excellent
electioneering argument in hard times.
The election being over, and knowing
well that the Government had the de-
ficiency to meet, the House grindinglv
increases the appropriation one million,
but finally adjourns, leaving deficiency
of nearly one million of dollars, and the
officers of the service without pay
The American people now witness the
gratifying spectacle Of the representa-
tive men of our army and navy nego-
tiating their vouchers upon the streets,
to raise necessary funds to meet current
expenses. The proceeding throughout
was in every sense contemplate, and
as has been truly remarked, if Mr. Ran
dali and his associates had deliberately
conspired to make every man in his

TINE HONoRED SPECIFIC.-The long

PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL, as contrasted
with the speedy collapse of nostrums de-
void of efficacy which have from time to
time been puffed into a brief notoriety dur
ing the twenty odd years that this cele-
brated medicine has been sold, affords a
proof that the American public continues
to repose its confidence in deserving anti
cles only. The PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL
has long been recognized as the leading
specific for Consumption, Bronchitis, Dip
iberia, Coughs, Colds, Asthma, and all
other diseases of the breathing organs. 1t
is, moreover, a certain, speedy, and safe
botanic remedy for Dyspepsia, Liver Dis
orders, Urinary Troubles, Scrofulous Atfec-
tions, Gravel Dropsy. Debility, Constlpa
ton, and Female Complaints. Constantly
accumulating evidence of an unimpeacha-
BILE character establishes the fact that it
not only entirely eradicates the diseases to
which it is adapted, but also that its action
is remarkably prompt and thorough. The
crucial test of experience has demonstrated
its reliability in every particular. Sold by

ANOTHER cold-blooded murder is re.
ported from the South, this time in
Louisiana, the cause being only that
the victim was a Republican, and one
of the witnesses before the Senate Com
mittee He was shot down in cold
blood, at his own door, by crowd of
bull-dozers, in the presence of his wife
and family. Ex-Gov Packard says that
James Laws had told him his life was
in danger, as he had testified before the
Howe Senate Committee, giving the
names of prominent citizens who had
threatened his life, and, as he believed,
had caused his store to be fired Pack
ard further asserts that Laws was one
of the best and most conservative col
ored men of the whole of the Felciana
district, and had previously held sew
eral influential positions with the full
acquiescence of the people, and was a
taxpayer owning thirty or forty thou
sand dollars worth Of property. Thus
the work of determination progresses.
