La Medicine A Sciance.

As generally understood, science cons lists
in deducing facts from theory. and as the
mathematician requires knowledge of one
factor in order to determine the value of
unknown factors. so medicine. when prac
ticed as a science, demands knowledge OF
one or more facts, upon which to base its
calculations Understood and practiced in
this way, the blunders of guess work are
avoided. 10 preparing bis now popular
Family Medicines, Z. V. Pierce. NJ. D., of
Buffalo N. Y. developed much time to the
careful investigation of the several classes
of diseases for which his remedies are pre-
scribed as specifics. Their unparalled
success attest. in arrangements stronger
than words, the Doctors skill His Col
den Medical Discovery is unsurpassed in
curing diseases of the throat, lungs. liver,
and blood; while the Favorite Prescription
is sold under positive guarantee to cure
those diseases and weaknesses peculiar to
woman. No remedy yet known equals DIR.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, May l4.-The total
amount recommended in the bill reported
10 the house from the committee on
appropriations for support of the army for
the fiscal year ending June Both, 1879,
and for other purposes is $26, 929.67l, of
which amount recommended for pay and
allowance OF officers who may retire under
its provisions is 50, ,s97 900. Total regular
sum $24 4,032,67l; total amount appropri-
ated by last law $25.7l2 500: total sum
of estimates $3l, ,292, ,2S2. Estimates Of
the bill have already been published by
some papers in the Northwest.
Intimate friends of the president say he
shows no diequiet whatever in view of the
pending proceedings 10 the house. He had
not in the past the slightest knowledge OF
fra1ds by political managers 10 Florida and
Louisiana other than published accusations
on the democratic side. During the can
vass and Investigation 10 those states he
was entirely reserved and took no part
whatever concerning them, leaving the
responsibility to those who performed such
business
President Grant while the excitement
existed suggested that gentlemen whose
characters were well known to the country
| should go there and examine into all the
facts so their report or conclusions should
inspire respect. Hayes took no part il
the suggestions of his immediate pre-
decessor, and did not interfere in any way
whatever all the time the returning board:
were at work up to the latest hour
when the contest was closed He regarded
the general result uncertain as to either
party in the contest. He received no com.
municatious from any representative
visitors to those or any other states, nol
was he 10 the remotest degree complicated
by proceedings of his friends in the matters
stated. In fact his intimate friends say
that during the period of uncertainty re,
garding his election he manifested no
anxiety to occupy the presidential chair
leaving the determination of the question
to others { Mr.. Hayes said this morning
there was nothing new 10 the proposed
investigation, but while frauds, ii any
were committed, should be exposed. such
exposure would not invalidate his title tc
the presidential chair.
Vice President Wheeler having returned
from New York this morning, called upon
the president and having subsequently,
been asked what the preside1tsaid regard
ing pending proceedings in the house
replied, the president did not even allud'
to the subject. My visit was on other anG
entirely different business.

precaution by Canadians. the whole thing
