About two years ago a small sore came on my leg; it soon became 8 large Ulcer, so troublesome that consulted the doctor, but got relief growing worse from day to day. I suffered: could not rest day night; was so reduced my friends thought would never recover. I consulted a doctor at Columbus. followed his advice; tt did no good. can truly say was discouraged. At this time was looking over my newspaper; saw your advertisement of Vegetine. the Great blood Purifer for cleansing the blood from all impurities, curing Humors, Ulcers, &c. said to my family, will try some of the Vegetine. Before had used the flst b. tile began to feel better. made up my mind had got the right medicine at last. could sleep we'll nights. I continued taking the Vegetine. I took thirteen bottles. My health is good, The Ulcer is gone, and am able to attend % business. paid about four hundred dollars for medicine and doctors before bought the Vegetine. I have recommended Vegetne to others with good success. I always keep bottle of it in.the house now It is excellent medicine Very respectfully yours,

The following question is one which Collec- tor Beard of Boston says that he has never has never seen answered, namely: When the un- limited currency party get into power and pre- sent delighted people with five hundred mil lion paper ''dollars," how is this sum to he put into circulation We have reason to he ieve that the plans of the greenback crowd will be as follows: The government will buy up private mortgages to the extent of thai amount. For instance, suppose that a mans house IS mortgaged to the nearest bank for one thousand dollars, on which sum he nays inc bank sixty dollars year interest. The govern ment steps forward with its five hundred mil
 lions and says to him: 'Let me became tbe holder of that mortgage. Here are one thou sand dollars; pay off the bank with it and tnrn the mortgage over to me. will only ask vo,, for four and a half per centum interest which IS about what get for my bonds. In this wav you will save fifteen dollars year and shall get one thousand dollars of my five hundred millions into circulation" If such a nlan could be carried..Out how many days would it take to circulate the five hundred millions or twice that sum? After Peter had thus been robbed to the extent of five hundred millions to pay Paul, and it is found that the firm of Peter & Paul-the country-is no richer, but great deal poorer, another dose will be tried: and what greenback "dollar" will be worth the1, only the man in the moon, who in all probabilitysn those days will be Secretary off the Treasury, is able to tell a.-lE

QUIoK WORK IN THE GRAIN F1ELp.-The Carroiton, Mo-, Democrat of July 5 says {:
 The last sensation occurred last Thursday when about fifty men were present by invita-. ton to see Jim Lawton beat his own time of two years ago, when his wife had bread baked in eight and quarter minutes after the wheat was anding in the field At 10 o'clock the Buckeye reaper, drawn by Cy. Burnett's duu mules, stood at the corner of the growino wheat, machine in gear ready for a start Men were stationed every few feet alang the line of grain ready to seize an armful as 1t fell from the reaper and rush with it to the thresh- CT close by which was, under way fer business. At the mill, just sixteen rods away, Lawton stood at the window watching the moment when Mc-Caw, on the swiftest horse in the county, should start from the thresher with tne grain, while Mrs. Lawton and her niece. MISS Allce, had all the preparations made to make grlddle cakes and biscuits nthe shortest possible time. At the drop of the hat the dun mules sprang to the work, and in I'm. 15s. the threshed wheat, about peck. WAS in inc sack and on the horse and the race commenced Tor the mill. There were two bridges to cross and the excited spectators could onIy see 2 column or dust, hear couple of taps on the plank bridges as the horses flew over them at lightning speed, and the wheat was delivered to Lawton in the mill. In I'm. 17s the fiour was delivered to Mrs. Lawton, and in 3m, sos from the starting of the reaper. the first grlddle cake came from the handsof Mis- Alice was gobbled by a dozen eager hands and---tbat was the last of it. In 4m 37s. from the start. ing of the reaper, according to the best donble- Il ncr stOp-watch in the country. pan of hus. cults was delivered to the hungry crowd by Ers. LaWt0n.

THE AGITATORS RELEASED.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. s.
About one o'clock this afternoon,
Nicholas Sarco, and an Italian, named
Tessaro. who were opposing parties in
a lawsuit, met at the law office of L..
s. Clark, i'm the Sherman building, at
the corner of Montgomery and Clay
streets. Some disagreement arose be-
tween them, and, after an angry con-
versation, Sarco started down stairs,
accompanied by Mr.. Splivado. Tes-
saro followed them, and, when a part
way down the stairs, drew his pistol
and fired a shot at Sarco, but, luckily,
missing him. He then put the pistol
to his own head and sent a ball through
his brain. The parties had had a pre-
vious disagreement, and Tessaro had
several times threatened Sarco's life.
A telegram was received yesterday
afternoon by one of the Jesuit fathers
from another member of the order in
Rome announcing that the Pope died
at q O'Clock, but no official notification
has as yet been received by Archbishop
Alemany. Arrangements will be made
for requiem services in all the Catho-
lie Churches next week. as the ritual
OF the Church of Rome will not admit
of their being held to morrow or Sun
day. The services will be of the most
solemn character and will be partici.
pated in by all the clergy. The ar
rangements have not yet been made,
but it is probable that all Archbishops
and Bishops will be notified to day to
proceed in making the necessary ar
rangements.

THE Mavor of Des Moines, Iowa, re.

THE Mayor of Des Moines, Iowa, re.
signed his position last week because
he found it impossible to keep sober.
Some three months ago, realizing the
hold which alcohol had on him, he de-
termined to make one final effort
to escape from its clutches.
He drew up his resignation, and
placed it in the hands of one
of the Aldermen, with instructions
to present it to the Board the mex time
that he (the Mayor was seen drunk:
A few days ago it became the painful
duty OF the Alderman TO fulfill his com
mission. That Mayor, despite his un-
fortunate weakness, is a noble man. He
realized thatthe public service demands
a clear head and an active brain, and
was unwilling to longer disgrace his
office. If all the officials given to the
worship of whisky would follow his
example, we should hear less OF mu-
nicipal, State and national mismanage-
ment.-GoLd HUI NeUS.

THE VIEW rARIFF BILL.

The subcommittee Of the Ways n
Means ComVittee, to whom was re-
ferred the subject of the revision OF The
tariff, and which consisted of Messrs.
Wood. Gibson, Banks, Tucker n
Burchard, have agreed upon a bill.
which has been reported to h full
committee. The preparation OF the bill
was assigned to Mr.. Wood, with the
exception of the part having reference
to sugar, which was prepared by Mr..
Gibson, of Louisiana. The general
principles on which the Tariff bill Is
based are reduction and simplitication,
and with sections directly looking to
an enlargement of our foreign trade
The schedules and classifications OF the
present tariff are followed. A slight
reduction is made, averaging about
twenty per cent. of the present rates in
the entire list, though in wines, bran
dies, cigars. and other articles OF like
character, there is no reduction. There
are no compound duties, the rates
being either specific or ad ralorem.
There is no free list. Every article
that is not dutiable is admitted free,
without specification or enumeration.
The present number Of articles in the
tariff laws is reduced to about five hun
dred, all told, in this bill. Changes
have been made from dd Ualorem to
specific duties wherever practicable.
1t is claimed that this bill will reduce
the cost of collection from $3.50 900 to
less than So, 0OQ, 900. The bill proposes
to raise 1854. 946, 900, estimated by
Treasury experts upon the average OF
the imports for the past six years.
Only Sl3S. O00, 900 were collected last
year.

LONDON, Feb. 8.
There Il no reason whatever for the
belief that any move will be taken in
violation of the terms of the armistice.
While the terms Of Russia, so far as
they have t~ranspired, are severe upon
the Turks, there is no truth whatever
in the repeated charges that the Rus.
slams are acting in bad faith since the
cessation of hostilities has been agreed
on. The danger in the situation lies
now, not In what Russia may do be
fore the conference. but in what maj
happen at the conference. 1t has
transpired that, at a Cabinet meeting
yesterday, a telegram was sent to the
English feet at Besika Bay, ordering
1t to the Dardanelles, but tho order was
countermanded upon the receipt OF
Gortschakoff's dispatch. Much fear
now exists that the Turks, in their
