Dysentery had tried the most noted physicians in
this state and also in Canada without relief At your
recommendation she commenced the use of the Syr-

but while taking the fth she began to improve rap
idly, and now, after using six of the dollar bottles
she regained her strength, and is able to do most Of
the work about the house; and feel that 1 cannot
speak too highly in praise of PERUVIAN SYRUP.

From Rev. John Gregory.

Pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist Church at Pitts
ton, Luzerne County, Pa.
My Dear Sir-Having at various times, personally,
and in my own and other families, tested the great
value of the medicine called PERUVIAN SYRUP,
or PROTECTED SOLUTION OF PROTOXIDE OF
IRON, most cheerfuly recommend it, especially to
those who are suffering from dyspeptic and nervous
disorders. AS reliable and powerful alternative, it
is think, unsurpassed; and as a tonic, free from
all the Objectionable features of alcoholic remedies,
it is a most efficient auxiliary to the temperance
cause. One of the greatest hindrances to the tenn
perance reform at present is as think, the medical
use of alcoholic stimulants. Whatever may be ar
gued as to their necessity in certain cases, have
in the PERUVIAN SYRUP, a safe and efficient sub
stitute for those dangerous remedies This testimo
ny given unsolicited, with the hope that some who
are not yet acquainted with the valuable properties
of the medicine may be induced to give it a trial.
Yours truly,
John GREGORy

IN CONGRESS-.

Wednesday, the 9th inst, was
distinguished by two of the most
important events in the present ses-
sion, the passage of the sinking fund
bill of the Judiciary Committee of
the Senate by an Unexpectedly high
majority and the introduction of the
tariff bill into the House by Mr..
Wood, of New York, as Chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee.
The first of these two events is not
more fortunate as securing the ma
ton from being swindled and bullied
by the railroad than it was when
looked upon as defeat of the lobby.
The large majority (forty to nine
teen) we verify believe to be partly
due to the brazen audacity of the
lobby members, Huntington and
Jay Gould, in cajoling and bullying
Senators. This lobbying assumed
such shameless prominence andthere
was so much talk of judiciOusly
placed stock, that Senators were
afraid of the scandal attached to
anything like intimacy with the
railroad magnates. The correspond
ent of the Courier-Journal gives the
palm of ability in argument to Sen
ators Bailey and Johnston.
Mr.. Wood in introducing the tariff
bill warned its opponents that a de
feat of it in the present Congress
would bring it before the people at
the next election, and that would be
followed by a demand for a much
more sweeping measure, which
would be irresistible. He said that
the bill "has not undertaken to re-
form all the abuses of the present
tariff, though the committee were
fully conscious of the necessity of
etfecting radical changes sooner or
LATER" and he added afterwards that
"the changes proposed are designed
to be the foundation for a perma-
nent measure, comprehending new
principles and looping off of COM
plicatiOns and contradictions now
existing in the present laws"

LOSING HER GRIP.
Decline of philadelphia Southern
Trade.
Philadelphia Record. !

"While we are looking out for
new markets abroad we should not
neglect our own marts at hOme,"
said a prominent merchant yester-
day; ''yet it is fact that our South
ern trade is gradually slipping away
from us. A comparison with form
er years will show that New York
and Baltimore are beginning to
monOpOlize the lions share of the
Southern trade, and unless our
business men awake to the import
ance of the situation, they will
speedily find that their trade is ire
trivably ruined. Even now the
Baltimoreans are offering extraor-
binary advantages over all other
cities to the Southern buyers"
AS to the actual cause of this de-
cline of trade there is considerable
difference of opinion among business
men. Some contend that it has its
origin in the lower prices quoted by
New York and Baltimore houses,
as well as to the fact that thefreight
charges from the latter points are
necessarily smaller. Others say that
the real reason may be found in the
poor steamer facilities between this
port and the South; but this is de-
MED by the shipping men who de-
clare that if additional vessels were
added to the service sufficient
freight could not be had to cover the
increased expense.

THE PROPOSED NEW TARIFF
DRUGS.

The House Committee of Ways
and Means was engaged during a
large portion of last month in draw
ing up a bill for the modification
and reconstruction of our present
system of imports on imported COM
mOdities, and the measure agreed
upon by them after a very laboriOus
Investigation of the subject, includ-
ing the examination of a multiple
ity of experts, was introduced in the
House of Representatives on March
26th, read twice, referred to the
Committee of the whole House on
the State of the Union, ordered to
be printed and made the special or
der in said committee for Thursday,
April 4th, after the morning hour
and from day to day thereafter until
disposed of.
We consider no measure of such
Importance as this. Even the acts
affecting the currency in our esti-
nation are inferior to this in the
commanding influence it is destined
10 exert upon our now paralyzed
commercial activity, and we have
accordingly looked with much anx-
iety for the printed copy of the bill
reported by the Ways and Means
Committee. We looked for thiswesay
with considerable anxiety, knowing

TnE clncinnati CommercIaI SAYS

THE Cincinnati Commercial says
one beauty Of the MOffett system is
that it is not compulsory. If a man
owns lands and houses, and has val
liable personal effects, he must pay
the assessment upon them or see his
property sacrificed to satisfy the de-
mands of the law. But he is not
compelled to pay taxes under the
MOffett system unless he drinks,
and it is optional with him to do so
or not. There is no compnlsion. If
he drinks, he must pay, but if he
chooses to join the noble army of
cold-water men and women, he
avoids the tax, and will probably
be physically, as he surely will be
financially, better off. The Moffett
register is, then, a powerful per-
suader to habits of Temperance, if
not total abstinence. 1t is a recruit
for the Murphy men, and will prob
ably do as much in the way of tenn
perance reform as the Sons of Tenn
perance or any other organization
| intended to promote sobriety in the
continuity. Then there is a gain
all round. The State is benefited,
the liquor dealers suffer no loss. The
consumers are given the option of
drinking and paying, or abstaining
and not paying, and the tendency is
to restrain excessive indulgence,
even when it does not work total
observation-disclosures Appeal.

Russia any longer than is absolutely
necessary; that its limits will be
subject to revision. AS regards the
Eastern acquisitions he says that
Russia desires to retain Kars and
Batoum for defensive purposes, add
ing (what sounds rather offensive
than defensiVe) that Russia does not
want to hdce to 6esiege them at the
commencement OF each ardr. Mean
time the dispositions of the Russian
army look to war with Austria as
well as England, positions in front
of all the passes in the Carpathian
Mountains being occupied and forti-
fed. The Turks have moreover
withdrawn from the fortified places
on the Danube, which are occupied
by Russian troops, which gives Rus
STA the control of that river from the
Servian frontiers to its mouth. i
there be any indication looking to
wards peace it is that Germany is
apparently making renewed exer
tions to bring about a meeting o.
the conference.
