and is equally as effective in banishing
cutaneous maladies, and relieving the
pangs of rhematism and govt. Redness
and roughness, tan, freckles, pimples, and
| indeed every imperfection of the cuticle is
entirely removed by it. Il is avouched,
by ladies who have used, to be the most
effective means of clarifying and softening
| the skin that they have ever employed; its
health promoting properties are widely
recognized by medical men, and evidence
In Its behalf, emenating from other and
equally respectable sources, precludes any
reasonable doubt as to the genuineness of
its claims to public confidence. Clothing
and linen from the sick room are disinfect-
ed by it, and it prevents contagion when
the danger of obnoxious disease has been
incurred by contact. Sores and ulcers,
that resist the operation of salves and To-
lions, are healed by it, and it soon relieves
the swelling and pain caused by bruises
and sprains. The opening of the pores,
resulting from the wholesome stimulation
of the superficial blood vessels that it pro-
duces, is the effect best calculated to ease
the circulation when overheated. and carry

An Important Suit.

There is suit in the circuit court of
Davenport which contains some nice and
important points which cannot but be in
teresting to every body in this vicinity.
The city assessor of Davenport in 1877,
assessed the interest in and lsasehold of
the railroad company 10 the government
bridge from the north pier on the Iowa
side to the centre of the draw channel, q
distance of 1000 feet, and also the railroad
track, assessing the value of the former at
Sl25,OOO, and of the latter at $4,000. the
amount ot the tax for that year being
81, 1870. The company very naturally
resisted the collection of this tax and in
their answer AUNT very important fact
which may hereafter be taken into account
in any discussion concerning the pro
hibition of freight over the wagon way OF
the bridge 1t is the statement 10 the
railroad compauy's petition that they have
no interest in the bridge of their own, that
it is the property solely and entirely of the
United States, and is under the jurisdic
ton of the United States, subject only to
the laws thereof. and therefore not taxable.
Further. they say that even if the right
existed to tax the bridge for the benefit Of
the city, the city has not the right to
assess for taxation more Of the bridge than
extends to the middle of the river. Here
an interesting issue arises; the city claims
that the channel of the river is that part
ofthe river used by steamers, and that as
the draw channel is the course followed b,
boats the jurisdiction of the city extends &c
that point, the company contending, how
ever, that the middle of the river form.
