Southern Pacific Railroad.

(ffOnl inc Meulphis Appeul
AT the next session Of congress the friends
of this great enterprise will make the last
great effort to secure an appropriation
What the south asks is simply justice.
Millions were appropriated for the Union
Pacific road, and the south, taxed for the
benefit ofths road, insists that she be treat
ed with respect and justice. If the friends
of this great enterprise will unite, we be-
lieve they will succeed. AS rule we are
opposed to subsidies, but u grand enter
prise of the magnitude of the Southern
Pacliic--onc which would give employment
to thou an1s upon thousands of men, put
in circulation millions of money, and open
up highway through very paradise of
country and furnish cheap homes to mil
lion of idle mechanics and workmcn,
we can see no good reason why the govern
ment cannot lend the enterprise hand
upon honorable terms when not jeopardiz-
ing the treasury one mill in so doing Men
oppose the Southern Pacific only from
want of u careful investigation Of the re-

FACE TO FACE WITH DHEAsE.-llow
often it happens that although we have wit
messed the ravagcs of disease in the case of
others, we disregard his warning signals in
our own. 1t is only when we find him face
to face with us that we really perceive how
grim he is. Then, pcrchancc, when it is too
late, medicinal aid is sought. His avant
courier, his forc-runner, is physical weak
ness, Fortify the system, and you arc
armed against him. The finest tonic for
this purpose is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which renders digestion easy and complete,
nourishes the system, improves the appetite,
gives strength, yielding sleep counteracts
biliousness, and keeps the bowels in first
rate order. Leanness and unnatural wan
ness and salowness Of the face, are obvi-
atcd by it, and so genial and bcnedcent are
its effects, that not only is the body invig-
grated and regulated by its use, but des-
pondency banished from the mind

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, December 0, 1878,

Yesterday in the senate Mr.. Edmunds
gave notice that on next Monday he would
ask the senate to consider bill in relation
TO the manner Of counting for president, and
matters connected Herewith, The special
committee by which the report Ia made,
which he asks to have discussed, is an ex-
ceptionally able one. 1t is doubtful if final
action will he taken on the subject at this
session Senator Stanley Matthews on
Tuesday made an excellent speech in favor
Of the bill in aid Of the Texas Pacific Rail
road, and on yesterday, thinking, no doubt,
that the speech had settled the question,
moved TO take up the bill for final action.
The senate refused to do this because many
other senator's desired to be heard as to the
merits of the bill, 1t seems certain that
some bill recognizing this road will pass by
a large majority, Senator Blaine's resolu,
ton instructing the judiciary committee Of
the senate to inquire whether the rights Of
voters in the south had been attacked, does
not, upon further reflection give that states
man, or other radical gentlemen, unalloyed
satisfaction. 1t is partizan, and so palpaby
SO, that everybody knows It. Amendments
will be offered by Observation-Disclosures, and
Mr. Thurman will, if the Republicans in
vitc discussion, speak at length.
On Tuesday the house passed two of the
appropriation bills-tbc Fertilization bill
and the West Point bill. These the senate
referred ~ yesterday to tile proper commit
tees, and they will no doubt be finally dis
posed Of at an unprccedentedly early day
Other appropriation bills are ready for the
| house, and will receive attention at once
The consideration Of these will make up
the real business Of the session. and all OF
them will be acted upon early. With one
house in control Of each party, it does no,
seem good policy to waste time on purely
political matters, and the disposition seems
general in both parties to do nothing of the
kind. Many members, to be sure, have in.
PRODUCED bills on the finances, and few
political moves have been made, but they
do not have the countcnance Of senators OF
representatives in large numbers.
The army, through Generals Sherman
and Mcigs, has spoken in favor of the In.
dian Bureaus transfer to the War Depart.
ment. Doubtless General Sherman is con.
siderably influenced in the matter by fcal
that, unless some employment is found fol
a large and increasing mum Der Of supertlu
Gus army officers, there will be danger o.
congressional action reducing the force.
Speaker Randall, who is in the best oI
spirits since his arrival here, has no doub
of Democratic success in $780, His oppor
tunities of acquiring information in his
present place are exceptional, and his opin-
ion is therefore worthy OF attention. The
fact that Mr., Randall is believed by many
to be looking for nomination for the
presidency cannot be held to make hi.
present faith in Democratic success less
worthy of respect, for he is young and car
wait until 1884.

THE old Rough and Ready fire company
the company that has earned the cogno-
men of the "old reliable" will give New
Years Eve Ball, which they reasonably
hope everybody will encourage, and great
many attend. Like other organizations OF
its kind in Cairo, it is compelled to run
itself and that thing can't be done very
successfully without the encouragement OF
the people. The committee of managers
will, therefore, wait upon our citizens with
tickets, and as the price is only one dollar
each, they think they ought to sell at leas,
400 or 800. The ball will be grand af-
fair, and nobody who attends will regrc.

LATE TELEGRAMS.

FGHANlsTAN-THE AMEER's LETTER.
LONDON, December S.-A correspondent
at Lahore states that high officials say the
last letter CT the amcer Of Afghanistan is as
untriend.y as his former one The friendly
expressions are merely conventional The
real tone is Indicated by the romons,rance
in regard to the British tampering with
Afredcs. The messenger who brought the
letter explained that it was delayed be-
cause he reached Ali Mu;jid November q,
during the fighting and returned to Cabul.
He says the amccr was incensad at his re-
turn and ordered him to proceed. The cor
respondent says the viceroy telegraphed a
summary OF the ameers letter to London on
the 4th Of December The government con-
scquently was aware thereof when it opened
parliament As the letter expressed no
Willingness 10 comply with the viceroy'
specific demands, operations will pro-
coed, if possible, more actively in conse-
quence of the ameer's irresolution, so as to
acquire as much us possible before he sub
mits The continuation of Gen. Brownies
advance on Jelala5ad is certain. The tone
of the amcer's letter is shown by one of his
opening remarks-that if goodwill really
consists of deeds, not words only, 1t has not
been manifested by the various proposals of
British officials.

A most horrible story comes to US
from the Western part of our parish.
A lady was attacked and killed by
panther. 1t seems the unfortunate
victim had started to a neighbours
house near by, and in passing through
a skirt of woods was attacked by the
hideous and dangerous animal. Her
husband, becoming uneasy at her long
absence, went in search OF his wife and
when he reached the scene he found
the panther devouring its prey. The
husband fired at the panther but with
out effect. The body of the lady was
much mutilated.-Chtxhou Netcs.

Death 70 Cabbage Bugs.

Chicago Tribune: For the last
five years l have not lost a cucum-
Der or melon vine, or cabbage plant.
Get q barrel with a few gallons of
gas tar In it, pour water on the tar;
always have it ready when needed,
and when the bugs appear give
them a liberal drink of tar water
from a garden sprinkler, or other
wise, and, if the rain washes it
of and they return, repeat the dose.
1t will also destroy the Colorado
potato beetle, and Brighten the old
long potato bug worse than a
tbreshing with a brush Five years
ago this summer both kinds ap-
peared on my late potatoes, and l
watered with the tar water. The
next day all the Colorado bugs that
had not been well protected from
the sprinkling were dead, and the
others, their name was legion, were
all gone, and / have never seen one
OF them on the farm since. l am
aware that many will look upon
this With indifference because it is
so cheap and simple = remedy.
Such should always suffer both by
their own and their neighbours bugs
as they frequently do.
