Remedies is to like them, and to make
renewed calls for them whenever
their need is felt. There are seven
different kinds, and no one is recon-
mendcd as II 'cure ALL" Each has its
place and in that case will work
wonders. For instance, the Blood
and Liver Remedy and Nerve Tonic
will cure all blood diseases and re-
store and build up the nerves the
Capitol Bitters will at once bring on
the appetite and increase the strength;
the Catarrah Remedy readily heals
catarrah the Improved Cough Honey
breaks up colds and cures coughs 4; the
Golden Relief cures any pain or in
flammation, and the st. Nitus Dance
Specific readily cures st. Vitus Dance.
So each has it's place. They are all
special remedies except the Blood and
Liver Remedy and Nerve Tonic,
which is remedy for regulating the
general system. They all act better
and quicker when the system is under
the healing and regulating influence
of the Blood and Liver Remedy and
Nerve Topic. For instance, Catarrah
is readily cured by the Catarrah
Remedy, when the system is at the
same time placed in II healing condi.
ton by the Blood and Liver Remedy
and Nerve Tonic.

Washington, June 1.-THE issue of
one and two-dollar grGenbacks was
discontinued at the Treasury in this
city mainly to induce banks and indi-
viduals to take and put in circulation
silver-coin. Silver is now going out of
the Treasury so rapidly, about mil
lion dollars a month, and the full green
back fund of ten million dollars au-
thorized by law is so well assured that
the Treasury will probably soon re-
sumo the shipment of ones and twos
in moderate amounts. 1t is impossi-
bic on account of the smallness of the
appropriation for transporting Gov
ernment funds to supply Assistant
Treasurers with notes for exchange,
and some of the local inconvenience
arising from lack of small notes must
be laid to the comparatively small
amount appropriated. A notice has
been posted at one of the windows on
the counter in the cash room of the
Treasury here as follows: "The issue
of ones and twos is discontinued" 1t
is very well understood here, as q
prominent officer of the Treasury to-
day said, "that the notice applied
only to that window and not to the
United States of America"

bricks, a wealthy farmer of this vicinity,
80 years old, in a fit of drunken rage, last
night, shot his wife, to whom he has been
married twenty-five years. 1t appears
that he had long been an unfaithful
husband, and last night returned home
from Bloomington about dusk, bringing
with him girl whom he told his wife was
to supply her place in the house. To re-
mark which she made he kicked her, then
drew revolver and commenced shooting
at Mrs. Hendricks, who ran toward the
gate and there fell weltering in blood. A
hired man, named Daley, witnessed the
whole affair, but was deferred by fear from
stopping it. He communicated with the

There is nothing encouraging in the
lumber trade. The report of the ship:
ments for the month of May, printed
elsewhere, show q total of 13, ,4S2, ,311
feet, decline of 1915, 7l2 feet, as COM
pared with April. With the class n
May the shipments from Williamsport
foot up total of "a, ,280, ,5s4 feet, a great
decline as compared with the trade OF
former years. The total shipments,
including points on the Northern
Central railroad, and between Remove
and Lock Haven, and Pine creek,
Jersey Shore and Larry's creek,
amount to s2,439,3 ,30S feet. The pres
ent month will probably put the
quantity over one hundred millions.
The recent flood in the river has been
the means of restocking the boom,
which was nearly empty. Two OF
three "drives," are yet to arrive which
will add several millions more to the
quantity foated down. The flood
will probably be the means of bring
ing fifty millions into the boom,
which will keep the mills running for
some time and give employment to q
large number of men, About forty
millions have been RATED out of the
boom for the season.-Gdzctte g. Bule-

purpose to pardon these men II convicted Is
untrue, and the Commercial Is In error when
| 1t says 1t has not been contradicted. The
| story gained currency almost as soon as the
information against the rascals was filed, and
1t was contradieted by every paper In New
Orleans-by the DEMOCRAT upon several oe-
Casions.
Very properly Gov. Nichols has taken no
part in this case. The prosecution of crimi-
nails and the execution of the criminal laws
are In the hands of the law officers and the
courts, and we cannot see with whatpropriety
the Governor of the State or the other public
officials could attempt TO influence this or any
other trial. The rascals who perpetrated the
returning Board crime are indicted; they are
under adequate bonds for their appearance in
court and they will be promptly tried and Wig
orously prosecuted. That it will be q great
triumph for fraud and rascality and vindi-
cation of all the Radical villainy that has
cursed this State for years, if these men are
acquitted, is recognized by everybody in
Louisiana. The Attorney General compre-
hends this fact, and he will no doubt, pro-
coed upon it.
LII our Vtcksburg contemporary will turn
TO the debates and proceedings in the Senate
ON and over the contested seats, he will dis
cover how Kellogg was seated. The policy of
our State administration toward the Return
ing Board had nothing In the world to do
with 1t. The partisan and INSCRIPTIONS spirit
OF the Republican majority prompted that
most shameful and darnnable act. If every
member OF the Returning Board had been In
the Penitsntary and with them those crni |
nent Republican Senators who came down
here to instigate and engineer the fraud, Kel- |
logg would still have been seated. |

be empowered to confer degrees that would
be worth having.
The inequality In the scholarship neces-
sary for degrees In this country has often
been noticed. The University Of Virginia
seldom graduates over three Masters OF Arts
each year; whereas some Northern or West
ern colleges, with the same number Of stu
DENTS will turn out hundred graduates
with the same degrees at one session; that Is,
the scholarship necessary to obtain this de-
gree at Charlottesville is thirty times as great
as that necessary to become an A. M. at
Dartmouth; yet the graduates Of both col
leges bear the same degrees and great ma
iority Of the people are unable to distinguish
between them.
II the President desires TO carry out some
plan by which degrees will be made more
equal, he will, says Prof. Webb, meet with
cordial approval; but, as for this monster
scheme he might as well give it
up as it is altogether impracticable.

Those who Witnessed that beautiful cees-
tial phenomenon the other night, the occuta-
tion of Venus, scarcely believed that this oc-
curTence which took place millions of miles
d way from this world, could possibly affect
Its history; yet this 1t appears to have done
In an extraordinary manner. The moon, or
rather the crescent, is, as everybody knows,
\ the tutelary saint, patron and protector of
the Mahometan church. 1t figures in their
i eligion, their stories, and their traditions !;
eIs blazoned on their flags, and Is believed to
DO the embodiment of Islamism itself. Dur
Ing the waning Of the moon the Turks will
not venture out to fight, and an eclipse is re-
garded by them as presaging some terrible
religious and national catastrophe.
The Mahometan standard is crescent, one
quarter moon, with bright star just be-
tween the two horns. This was the exact
figure witnessed by every one in the heavens
last Saturday. On that night the heavens
themselves were ornamented with perfect
and magnificent emblem of the Ottoman
standard. To an oriental and superstitious
people who attach great significance to celes-
tial signs, symbols and tokens, this wonderful
heavenly display was, of course, an omen of
great Importance. It was generally predict
ia that when the rude soldiers Of Osman
Pnaha saw this symbol of their religion in the
q kies they would, like Constantine when that
historic vision Of the celestial cross appeared
10 him, regard it as signal of victory. and
break out In desperate sortie from Plevna
Such proved to be indeed the case. On the
night OF this phenomenon the last great sortie
from Pleyna was made. But alas ! the false
moon proved traitor to the cause of
Turkey; the symbol, token of defeat, not of
victory. Ten thousands Turks were left dead
on the field, their heroic commander fatally
wounded, and the hope Of Islam broken. To
the movements Of planets sixty millions of
miles away the wild sortie from Plevna, the |
fatal defeat Of the Turks, the loss of this Bull |
garian Sedan and the fall Of Turkey, are all |
undoubtedly owing.

A GROSS INJUSTICE,

The Natchez Democrat refers to and repro-
duces extracts from q very violent and unjust
attack upon Gov. Nichols and his official adj
visers in recent issue Of the Vicksburg Com
merciaL We have not seen the article of the
Vicksburg paper, but the grounds of the at
tack, as presented In the extract before us,
| are substantially these: That Gov Nichols
and his official advisers have failed to do their
duty in prosecuting the Returning Board
because of that failure Kellogg was admitted
to the Senate; months have elapsed since the
indictment of the Returning Board and as
yet no steps have been taken to bring these
scoundrels to justice; Gov. Nichols has per-
mitted the statement to GO abroad uncontra-
dicted that, If Wells, Anderson & Co. are con-
victed he would interpose the Executive
pardon.
For this the Governor is denounced In the
fiercest manner. The extracts conclude with
this choice sample of indignant and sense
less rhetoric:
We know that Kellogg is. to-day occupying
seat in the Senate of the UniteI States and we
know that II Gov Nichols and his officers had
IF the f oard w Waa pasn &
penitentiary. With these worthless safely
housed in the State prison of Louisiana. wear-
q ie1ons. no man is silly enough to believe
that Kellogg, or any body else claiming to be
chosen by legislature elected by these Re-
seat In the Senate. The thing IS preposterous.
and to Gov. Nichols ard his official advisers
the country Is indebted for this shame.
The Vicksburg Commercial is evidently ut
terly ignorant Of the subject upon which it
based its ferocious onslaught upon Gov.
Nichols and his administration. The Grand
Jury of this parish, at the last term of the
Criminal Court, filed information against the
members OF the Returning Board for forgery,
and they will, in all probability, be tried at
this term of the court. There were very many
reasons why these cases should not have been
opened before full and ample preparation. The
highest and greatest issues are at stake;
the crime itself-that of forgery--is one of the
meanest most vulgar and cowardly, but the
criminals struck at the dearest rights of the
people, and attempted to overthrow the civil
order OF the State and poison our whole
political system with fraud and illegality.
What would the country have thought OF the
law officers of the State ii they had plunged
into this great case without all the testimony
they knew existed and without the most eau
tious preparation? The continuance ofthe trial
was deemed tobe in the interest of justice, and
we have no doubt 1t was. The Attorney Gen
eral must be permitted to exercise his judg-
ment in this matter. We know that he is de-
termined that full just CO shall be done, and
that as speedily as possible But he is gov
erned by prudence and thorough knowl-
edge Of the case, and not by an incorporate
zeal. which might defeat its own aim.

President Hayes In his message suggested
the idea of q great National University.
He said, 'sthe system OF public education Ii
this country should be crowned with uni
yersity in all respects In keeping with the ma.
Z tional capital" This idea Is by no means q

The scheme; Congress leaned that way-it

of our various colleges on the subject, when

Eprove of immense injury to the cause of edu-
Ecation. The whole matter was shown up so
thoroughly In its true light that the idea
