No other medicine in the world was ever
given such test of its curative qualities as
Boschee's German Syrup. In three years
two million four hundred thousand small
bottles of this medicine were distributed
free Of charge by Druggists in this country
to those afflicted with Consum ption, Asth-
ma, Group, severe Coughs, Pneumonia and
othr diseases of the Throat and Lungs, CIV
ing the American people undeniable proof
that German Syrup will cure them. The
result has been that Druggists in every
town and village in the United States are
recommending it to their customers. Go to
your Druggist, and ask what they know
about it. Sample Bottles 10 cents. Regu-
lar size 10 cents. Three doses will relieve
any case.

FOOTPRINTS OF AGEs.-We had the
pleasure OF examining new publication
lust issued from the press, entitled the
" Foot prints Of Ages 1t contains ihfor-
nation of interest for every citizen. One OF
the most valuable features we note is the
Analysis of the Government" giving each
department in detail. Ii is unsurpassed as
a book of reference, and should be in the
hands of every professional man in the coun-
try It also contains other matter of great
interest relative to the Government, Sc
curing the highest encOniums from
the press throughout the land. 1t has also
received the Endorsement of the officials of
of this State and leading men, as we notice
from the large list which was shown us by
Mr.. c r. Brodix, General Agent. We can
not too highly commend it as a work of
history and e neral reference.

AN oRDINANCE, or regulation of our
city, prohibiting the sale Of fresh meats
within the corporation limits, except by liz
censed butchers, is being Complained Of,
and very Justly, we think, by our farming
friends in the vicinity of Jackson, who have
been accustomed to bring fresh pork, with
their other products, to the city for sale.
With as much propriety might our local
merchants object to the sale OF butter, eggs,
poultry, vegetables, ETC., as the butchers 10
complain because fresh meat il sold Occa-
sionally from country wagons. Such ordi-
nances operate oppressively against the
farmer who raises meet to sell, and are
calculated to get up prejudces against the
city generally. We trust the newly elected
CITY Council will e-establish free trade"
in this particular.

Chancery Court Districts.

The resolution introduced by Senator Bills
on Saturday last, looking to reduction in
the number of Chancery Districts should
read as follows:
WHEREAS, A vacancy has occurred in the
office OF Chancellor for the Fourth District
by the death of Chancellor Clark and
WHEREAS, The judiciary Department of
the Government might be as efficient by re-
ducing the number of Chancellors to ten,
and thus reduce the expe nses of that de-
partment; therefore.
RESOLVED, That Joint Committee of five
on part of the Senate, and on part of
the House, be appointed to re- district the
State into Chancery Districts so as to en-
brace the whole State in ten Dist lets.

| ing gold as single standard of value, and
against the repeal of the sp, Gle resumption
act He spoke of the high standing OF the

ton of that city. He also presented the
proceedings of meeting held at Blooming
ton, H., his place of residence, in favor OF
the reconciliation of the silver dollar, and
in presenting them, said he had no agency
in getting up this meeting, but he believed
its proceedings expressed the opinion of the
people of the whole county, which was thf
fourth in population in that State. Referred
TO the Committee on Finance.
Mr.. Edmunds of Vermont, submitted a
lengthy amendment to the preamble of the
resolution introduced by Mr.. Matthews OF
Ohio, before the recess, declaring the right
of the Cove rnment to pay its bonds in Sill
yer, etc. The amendment sets forth that
the silver dollar of the United States had
been long obSoltte when the existing loans
OF the United States were authorized. and
that the gold coin has been the only lawful
coin: that Congress should not legislate
to make money at the expense of its credi-
tors; that it was the highest obligation OF
the United States TO pay its debts in such
coin as its creditors eS pected would be paid /;
and that it would be unjust to compel then ,
or lahoring men, either, TO receive silver
dollars or any deb ised money. Laid on III
table and ordered To be printed.
The resolution to which it is proposed a.
an amendment is now being read before the
Senate.
