Keller's Vegetable Life Drops
Liver C0NIPL- Amt,

When from any of the numerous Incl.
ting causes the Liver begins to act abnor-
mally, the bile remains in the system,
vitiating and pervorting every vital pro-
cess, and causing Boils, Carbunclcs,
Blotches, Pimples, Coughs, Bronchitis,
Asthma, Consumption, Dysentery, Kid
ney and Bladder diseases, and many other
disorders, all originating directly or indi-
rectly from the Liver. Keller's Vegetable
Life Drops induce the healthy action of
the Liver by providing for the removal of
the hillary constituents by the Bowels,
Kidneys and Skin.

A New WAY TO COLLECT WHISKY
TAxEs.-In Mississippi plan has
been proposed for collecting money
to run the State government which is
claimed to be much superior to the
Mofett whisky registers now in Vir-
GINA. Books of coupons would be
sold by the Mississippi State auditor
to all liquor dealers. When the drink
is sold the consumer receives coupon,
which entities him to receive from the
the State in payment of his taxes one
cent. If two drinks are to be paid for
he receives an orange colored coupon
good for two cents. If five drinks a
blue paper good for FIVE cents. Not
only would the State enjoy an income
from the tax on drinks, but the con-
sumer have a reasonable chance of
paying off his taxes with the orange
and blue coupons. Then might the
saloons be crowded with men making
out their taxes. Who would ever
have expected that the popularity Of
whisky could be employed to over
come the unpopularity of taxes? The
bill after passing one house has, how
ever been laid on the table in the

The SETTLEMENT IN CUBA.-The
terms of the the settlement in Cuba
are honorable both to the Spanish
Government and the insurgents.
The latter are granted complete and
unconditional amnesty as soon as they
lay down their arms and those who
desire to do SO, may leave the island
ct will, and without coming to the
towns or embarking from the
ports. This protects all deserters
from the Spanish army. All slaves
and coolies in the insurgent armies
are granted their freedom the own
ers. if loyal, are to be Unidentified.
There are other articles which are as
yet, kept secret it is said out Of defer
ence to the susceptibilities of the OBJ
obstreperous Casino Espamole. Cuba
is to have three Deputies and two Sen
ators in the Spanish Cortes; slavery
is to be abolished in FIVE years; the
volunteers of the Junta are to be dis
banded and local militia established
instead, and the people of towns are
to have the right their own Municipal
idades. If these things are carried
out as they exist on paper, Cuba will
never again be in insurection, for the
island will be practically as free Of
Spain as Canada and Australia are of
Great Britain, and much more free
than Jamaica is.-Bulletin.

HoIR1BLE--EATINa HUMAN FLESH
On the 18th of December, the Schoon-
er Sallie M. Steelman of Somer S
Point. N. j., left Charleston, S. c.,
bound for Baltimore with cargo of
phosphate rock. On the 3Oth of De-
cember, when about twenty miles to
the Southeast Of cape Hatteras, the
schooner was disabled and driven to
sea by violent storm. The last of
their provisions was eaten on the
23rd Of January, the daily rations be-
fore having been reduced. The next
day they subsisted on coffee. The
storm abated somewhat ON the 2sth
of January, but they had been driven
several hundred miles out to sea, and
had little prospect of reaching port.
The seven men on board the schooner
were suffering the pangs of starvation.
A colored man, Geo. Seaman, became
insane, and when about to shoot a col
orsd man, Walter Sampson, was shot
by Sampson and killed on the Goth Of
January.
Portions of the body of the corpse
were eaten by the survivors, Some Of
whom say it he'd the taste of beef and
others of mutton.
On the 3lst of January, these star
wing men were rescued by the schoon-
er Speedwell and arrived at the port
CT New York on the 18th inst.

The Balance Of Trade.

One of the factors of our financial
problem, which must not for moment
be lost sight Of, is the vast and in
creasing balance Of trade in favor Of
this country as against Europe.
This is an element Of calculable GER
tainty in the midst of many uncer
tainties. Our exports have for the
past three years exceeded our imports,
and the excess is greater during the
past few months than ever before.
This difference has to be made good in
money, and thus gold has been coming
into this country in large volumes, al
though it is in many respects the least
desirable form of wealth. The New
York banks had on Saturday last
larger quantities Of gold on had than
of currency. And it must continue
to be the case that gold will come
here 80 long as the balance of trade
is in our favor. This must last for
some time; for the country is in one Of
its periods Of economy. Flush times
passed away four years ago, and the
struggle since then has been to keep
out Of bankruptcy. Happy are those
who have succeeded even in this. We
do not spend SO much now in wines,
silks, carpets and jewelry. We make
our carpets last another season, and
wear the coat little while longer.
Thus our importations have decreased
and are still decreasing. But our e1-
ports have increased. The crop Of
cotton for last season was unprecedent-
eddy large; the crop for the current
season is nearly equal to it. The
corn crops of both seasons have been
enormous, and the bulk Of the last
harvest is still to be sent forward
The yield eff petroleum is immense,
and the European demand for it is in
creasing. These and other staples
will continue to go out to Europe, and
as we do not import in equal degree
European products, Europe owes us 9
balance which it must make good in
money. Since the blow to our credit
abroad our bonds have been coming
back to US instead Of gold, but this
will not last very long, for those
bonds still hold the first rank in the
European markets; and, even now
gold still continues to come along
with the bonds. This inflow Of gold
is, as we have said, an element of GER.
tainty for the present and immediate
future. Gold is now down in conse.
quence to close approximation tc
currency, and as soon as the new sill
yer comes into the market, and b..
comes available to pay customs du.
ties, the premium will fall still low
er. Every difficulty in the way Of
resumption will have disappeared. We
could resume to-day if Congress wish.
ed to do SO. The true method of in
hating the money market is by re-
sumption, for all the vast volume OF
gold that is now lying in the vaults as
a commodity would Immediately be-
come money.-Baltimore Gazette.

READING IN BED INJURIOUS
Reading while lying down is very in

the internal structure of the eye be,

fort on the part of the ciliary mus

Postal Savings Banks.

The bill to establish postal savings
banks" which will be reported by the
house committee on banking and cur
rency, is less Objectionable than the
discussions of the scheme had led us
to expect. 1t does not propose to
make the postal system a vast savings
bank: it does not propose that the
government should pay interest on de-
posits. 1t simply makes the postmas-
ter a custodian of savings, without in
terest, until the sum amounts to ten
dollars, when he may be required to
issue a bond in that sum, drawing in
terest at the rate Of 1856 per year on
the hundred dollars. The scheme
has much in its favor, but it is not free
from serious objections. 1t may be
urged in its favor, that it will offer a
secure depository for the savings OF
the people beyond the reach of the
financial disasters that have swept
away SO many savings banks during
the past two years and by thus max
ing the deposits safe offer the strong
est inducement to that thrift, industry,
self denial and economy that have
given such prosperity to France.
Another desirable result might be
that the bonded debt of the country
could be largely reduced from six
per cent interest to four per cent.
The receipts of savings would enable
the government to call in and pay OF
its six per cent. bonds as rapidly as
postal savings bonds are issued, and
thus the burden of taxation be re-
duced. There would be great gain,
too. in the stability Of our financial
policy. If a large part Of our bonded
debt were held by the poorer classes
in small bonds, there would be
a larger financial intelligence among
the people. Self-interests is great
educator; and the class interested il
sound finance would be made mucl
larger. There would be less nonsense
talked about the "bloated bondhold
err" for tradesmen and mechanic
would be "bloated" also. About sew
enteen-twentieths Of the bonded deb
of the United States are already hele
in this country. 1t would be we'll i
the other three-twentieths were here
also.
One of the most serious objections
| to the scheme is that it will be neces
sary to increase the number of officer
in the postoffice. In country postofi
ces the duties Of the postmasters will
not be seriously increased by the sys
tenn; but the small towns as we'll as
the large cities, the number of clerks
must be considerably augmented
Another objection is that it may be a
serious blow to the existing savings
banks, and that some of them that are
now working out of their difficulties
might get the final shove into bank.
