Col. Ingersoll's lecture on the Mistakes
OF Moses" has brought out a sharp retort
from the jewish Rabbi Wise, Of Cincin-
natl. He says that Ingersoll is out on a
lecturing tour, and that ut makes no dii.
florence whether 1t Is hell or gods, devil or
Moses, Pope or Presbyterian-anything to
make money" lie closes his communica-
ton on Robert with these caustic SEN
fences: ale cannot crlticise Aristotle and
Emanuel Kant and make it pay, because
he cannot read them. He cannot ridicule
Carlyle or Stuart Mill, because he cannot
understand them. So he picks up some
small stories which the children know,
and dishes them up in his own humoristic
way Tor the amusement of big babies"

vEGETHNE.
VEGETINE
pURIF1Es THE BLOOD, RENOvATEs AND
INyIGoRATES THE WHOLE SYSTEM.
ITS MEDICINAL PROPERTIES ARE
ALTERNATIVE, TONIC, SOLVENT. AND
DTURETIC.

vEGETINE Is made exclusively from the juices
of carefully barks ROOTS and herbs, and so
strongly concentrated that IL will ccctually erad-
cate from the system every faint Of SCROFULA,
SCROFULOUS HUMOR, TUMORs, CANCER,
DANGEROUS HUMOR, ERYSIPELAS, SALT
RHEUM, SYPHILITIC DISEASES, CANKER,
FAINTNESS AT THE STOMACH, and all diseases
that arise from impure blood SCIATICA, IN
FLAMMATORY and CHRONIC RHEUMATISM,
NEURALGIA, GOVT, and SPINAL COM
PLANTS can only be efectually cured through the
blood.
For ULCERS and ERUPTIyE DISEASES Of the
SKIN. PUSTULES, PIMPLES, B LO T G Fl E 8 (,
BOILs, letter, SCALDHEAD. and RING
Y ORM, yEGETlNE has never failed 10 effect q
permanent cure.
For PAINS IN THE BACK. KIDNEY CON-
PLANTS, DROPSY, FEMALE WEAKNESS,
.LEUCORRHEA, arising from Internal liberation,
and uterine diseases and GENERAL DEBILITY
VEGETINE acts directly upon the causes OF these
complaints. IL invigorates and strengthens tho
whole syste acts upon the secretive organs, ailays
Inflammation, cures liberation, and regulates the
bowels.
For CATARRH, DYSPEPSIA, HABITUAL
COSTIvENESs, PALPITATION OF THE
HEART, HEADACHE, PILES, NERVOUSNESS,
and GENERAL PROSTRATION OF THE MEX
yOUS SYSTEM, no medicine has ever given such
perfect satisfaction as the VEGETINE. 1t purides
the blood ceanses all of the organs, and possesses
controlling power over the nervous system.
The remarkable cures effected by VEGETlNE
have induced many physicians and apothecal1es
whom We know to prescribe and use 1t in their own
families.
In fact, VEG ETINE is the best remedy yet discov-
cred for the above diseases and is the only reliable
BLOOD-PURIFIER yet placed before The public.

Mr.. Willis, Of Kentucky, made an inter-
esting report to the House, on Monday, on
the Chinese question. IL asserts that the
number Of Chinese in the Pacific States Is
not less than 10000; that in the cities 100
Chinese will occupy room that would not
accommodate five workingmen with their
families. The report depicts their immo-
ralities as Ioathsome in the extreme, rem
dering them most undesirable members OF
society. Wherever they locate property
depreciates in value, and their habits are
so filthy as to render sanitary precautions
futile.
They are building tabernacle in New
Haven, Conn.,, for Moody and Sankey, who
are expected there the latter part OF March.

XLvTH CONGRESSIONAL Session.
WASHINGTON, February 26, 1878.

StNAIE.
The Senate, in Executive session, re-
jected the nomination of Wheeler as mar.
shall for Montana, and discussed the nomi-
nation df Parsons as attorney for Alabama.
Messrs. Conkling and Matthews spoke adj
yersely, and the matter went over.
The Committee on Banking and Currency
rejected the proposition to issue greenbacks
to the full original amount of four hundred
million dollars by three affirmative votes
only.
Mr. Gordon, OF Georgia, said he desired
q brief personal explanation. When the
silver bill was on its final passage he stated
that his colleague (Mr. HilD was paired with
the Senator from Tennessee (Mr. Harris),
and If his colleague had been present he
would have voted against the bill. On his
colleagues return from Georgia he stated
that he (Mr. Gordon) had misunderstood
him as to the extent of the pair, and that
his purpose to do so only extended to the
Senate amendments, and not to the bill.
Mr.. Hill, of Georgia, said he concurred
in the statement OF mis- colleague. AS he
was leaving the city for the State OF Geor-
gia, being compelled to be absent, he re-
squested his colleague (Mr. Gordon) to have
the Senator from Tennessee (Mr. Harris)
pair with him on the Senate amend
iments. He had stated to the Senate that he
would vote for the House bill with certain
amendments, and therefore could not have
said IN advance that he would vote against
that bill After he left the city an arrange
ment was made for the pair y between
