Reasons Why All Should Use the
Reacti0nary Health Lift.

It makes strong appeals to the common sense of
every man or woman in every walk of life 1t
furnishes an exercise which may and should be in
uoduced into every house; which may be practiced
at an seasons in all kinds of weather, by persons of
both sexes, all ages, and degrees of strength or
Weakness, alone or IN company. No one can say too
much In praise of it, and no one can afford to do
without it. All who investigate thoroughly use it,
and consider it invaluable and indispensable 1t is
tne safest, SIMPLEST cheapest and most efficient
medicine ever discovered. No claim is set up for it
which is unscientific or impractcable.
Seneral.-It Is the best of rest. 1t is perfectly
safe. NO harm ever came from its use. 1t strains
to the affected parts. By its the health is easily
maintained. The purchase of a Reactionary LITTER
is the best kind of economy. The convenience of
having one in the house is very great
Mind and Brain inyigorates and
strengthens the brain, and renders il more active
and efficient in all its operations '-''

inducing sound and refreshing sleep.

culture and developement in the safest, easiest,
most thorough and expeditions manner. 1t is
better than the gymnasium, and free from its

The Senate committee on finance oppose
the anti-resumption bill but recommend
four propositions which will, they think,
further resumption. The first of these is to
make legal-tender notes receivable after
July 1st for all dues, and payable for all ex-
cept interest on the public debt. The
second is to make these notes receivable
in payment for four per cent. bonds. The
third is to prohibit the cancellation of legal
tender notes and require tho Secretary to
reissue them. The fourth is to repeal that
section of the act Of 1875, known as the
eighty per cent clause. The Senate com.
mittee will do we'll to let the Secretary of the
Treasury alone. He is pursuing wise
course, and resumption will be an accom-.
plished fact in few months unless he is
interfered with. Congress seems to have a
mighty fear that our demand debt will be
paid.

IT is Dom Piatt who says: "The patriot
who will kill Count Johannes, Eli Perkins
and Jane Grey Swisshelm, will have erected
unto himself monument more lasting
than BRASS" If the "patriot" can be salts
fed with brass monument he has only to
acd one to the number of his victims and
cast it out of Piatt's remains.

THE House has appropriated 81, 900 for the

Jefferson by taking to heart these words ol
his: "Capital may be produced by industry
and accumulated by economy, but juggeis
will propose to create it by legerdemain tricks
with paper" Action in the spirit Of these
words is far better than heaping burden OIL

Mr.. BAKER in the House Saturday easily
showed the fallacy of Mr.. Blouut's reason

amount of business done. If the expendi-

have trebled.

GLOVER and his smelling committee have
made another mistake. In their investiga-

that the House Committee sent out to detect
Republican 'frauds" in Louisiana took $32,-
600 of the contingent fand, and that $4,000
of the sum are unaccounted fer. 1t will take
Glover all the rest of the session to explain

A VISIT TO THE CLArMANT-On Saturday,
Mr.. Gulford Onslow, Mr.. Quartermaine
East and Captain Francis Longland visited
the claimant in Portsmouth convict prison.
The claimant dwelt at great length on the
probability of his sentences being concur
rent, and if they are so considered he ex-
poets to be released next August. The
claimant has never been seen looking SO
well, and he expressed himself better than
he had ever been since his incarceration.
'Sir Roger" now weighs sixteen stone, and
since being employed at outdoor labor,
sleeps well, and enjoys altogether better
health.
Captain Longland, who lives at Yardley,
near Hastings, was captain of the Osprey
which took off three of the shipwrecked
crew and passenger of the Bella off the
Osprey when she arrived in Melbourne har-
bor and took the men to his own home,
where he lodged them for some DAYS He
gave evidence on both trials, but could not
speak positively as to he passenger being
the claimant, as he was SO stout but since
his imprisonment 'Sir Roger" has got much
thinner, and Captain Longland entertains
little or no doubt that he is the passenger
of the Bella whom he took off the Osprey

Fnce TO Face with Disease.

How often it happens that although we
have witnessed the ravages of disease in the
case of others, we disregard his warning sig
nails in our own. 1t is only when we find
him face to face with US that we really per-
ceive how grim he is. Then, perchance,
when it is too late, medicinal aid is sought.
His avant courier, his forerunner, is physi-
cal weakness. Fortify the system, and you
are armed against him. The finest tonic
for this purpose is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, which renders digestion easy and COM
plete, nourishes the system, improves the
appetite, gives strength-yielding sleep,
counteracts biliousness, and keeps the bow
els in first rate order. Leanness, and un-
natural wanness and sallowness of the face,
are obviated by it, and so genial and benefi-
cent are its effects, that not only is the
body invigora ed and regulated by its USE
but despondency banished from the mind.
