VALUABLE TESTIMONY. - Senator
Christiancy, on presenting the petition
of 2l7 men and 2O7 women-424 citizens
of the State of Michigan for a 10th
Amendment to the United States Sem
ate, said:
1 wish to say one word in refer
ence to the character of these petition
ers. l am informed that there is not
among them a single drunkard or gam
bier, or person of vicious life, and | be-
lieve the statement. Though person.
ally unknown to me, my observation in
the State of Michigan, where over forty
thousand votes were given in favor of
female suffrage, satisfies me that these
people are among the most intelligent,
most thoughtful, and benevolent people
we have among US. They may be mis-
taken as to the value of the measure
which they advocate, but there can be
no doubt of the sincerity and strength of
their convictions. Their petition, there
fore, insist, ought to receive a careful
consideration; and we cannot afford to
treat it with contempt or disrespect.

A sense ofWeariness

Is often felt by persons who cannot locate any
particular disease. If they WORK, it becomes
labor; If they walk, they soon tire; mental eff
forts become a burden, and even joys are
dimmed by the shadow of this weakness which
is cast over their lives. Recourse is had some
times to stimulants of a dangerous character.
The advice OF physicians to refrain from active
labor produces no happy results. Why? The
system is debilitated and needs to be built up
properly. PERUVIAN SYRUP will do this very
thing. Like the electric current, IL permeates
the entire system, and harmonizing with the
corporal functions, it raises up the enfeebled
and brings the color to the cheek again, and
hope TO the respondent. 1t does its work
promptly and well. Sold by all druggists.

The AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY is an
epitome of newspaper history. 1t is also re-
garded as an official register of clrculations.
This feature requires the closest scrutiny to
prevent it from leading TO abuses The plan
adopted by the publishers of the DIRECTORY to
secure correct and trustworthy reports is rigid
in its requirements, and is adhered TO with
impartiality. Successful publishers, who have
something to gain by comparison, are gener-
ally prompt, not only 10 send reports in con-
formity, but give Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell & Co.
such information as enables them TO weed out
unsubstantiated statements of pretenders in
journalism. The popularity of the book, and
the general confidence in its accuracy and good
faith, are attested by the immense body of ad-
vertisements it receives. 426

Miss Anna Oliver, the first girl grad
uate of the Boston Theological School,
does not find the ministerial air of Pas
sale, n. j., over congenial. The other
pastors ignored her Methodist charge in
the Thanksgiving and week-of-prayer
union meetings, but she has her revenge,
for she engaged Amanda Smith, a we'll
known colored evangelist, and the two
are carrying on a revival that is the
envy of the ungallant parsons.

shall voto directly for n candidate for Presi-
