were in the interest of Major Lewis Mer-
rill. After the passage of the bill, Cham
berlaiH came TO me and requested that
the entire amount should be awarded to
Merrill, and that / would receive @ GER
tain sum If would do so. I replied
that, under the provisions OF the act, the
distribution of the fund was placed in
my hands exclusively, and that in that
matter intended to DO very careful, and
would not accede to his proposition.
Then Mackey came to mo and made the
came request and proposition, and to him
gave The same reply as had given to
Chamberlain. Chamberlain then came
again and suggested that should ap-
point commission, who should recon-
mend the distribution of the fund, and
that If would appoint him on the COM
mission he would induce them TO award
the whoio amount 10 Merrill. and that he
would SEQ that Ishouid be paid certain

REMEDY FOR HARD TIMES.

Stop spending SO much on fine clothes,
rich food and style. Buy good healthy
food, cheaper and better clothing; get
more real and substantial things of life
every way, and especially stop the foolish
habit Of running after expensive and quack
doctors or using so much of the vile hum
bug medicine that does you only harm,
and makes the proprietors rich, but put
your trust IN the greatest of all simple,
pure remedies, Flop Bitters, that cures
always at trifing cost, and you will see
better times and good health. Try it once.
