Gentl"mcn-Some three years ago I was
taken with something like asthma. Theat-
tackS nj first came al night, and whilrt
asleep. 1t would awske me, and | would
have 10 get up and 81. up ill it would wear
OF. These attacks became more and moro
frequent, and increased more and moro in
violence until tha spring OF 1876, when thay
became alarming. ! had to sit mp nest Il
the nlghts, could, no: breathe in any aaheS
position, and not in a sitting posi.,en vitA-
ont very painful difficulty. 1t WIS attended
with 4 very bad cough. The C. pectorations
were of a white frothy character and voty
tough J became very weak and feeble.
My physician did what he could, but to lit
tie purpose. IGhc knew what allied me, he
kept it concealed from me. I, however, was
satisfied that the dread disease of consnnp-
ton was fast setting in upon my lnngs,s
irovldcntia!iy | saw the recommendation
of the Hon. AleX.!fl. Stephens of the Glebe
Flower Syrup, and having known him for
years, and also Of his physical infirmities, 1
determined to make L trial Of the Syrup. T
bought n bottle and commenced taking it as
per directions. ! felt a sensation of relief
after the first dose (taken at n,ght,) but had
to set mp before day and sit up as usual. /
continued to take through the next day az
directed and at night before retiring. L
have not hld to get up since. L continued
to fake it regularly until | took three bot
ties. The cough gradually subsidized,
breathing became clear and easy, AM. for
twelve months | have been in perfect health
no cough, no asthmetic affection, and I
cheerfnlly attribute my cure to the use OF
the Globe Flower Syrup, and would recon-
mend it to all similarly afflicted. Ny
official and professional labors are partieu-
larly straining to the lungs, but I am per-
fectly sound and well, and have no symp-
toms of any lung disease: 1 keep some Of
the Syrup on hand, and perhaps oncea
month take a dose, of it, which Ithink
keeps the lungs vigorous and healthy,

won!d add my testimony to the virtues Of
the Globe Flower Syrup, and now take oc.
casion to do SO; and if you can make any

ing everywhere, you are at liberty 70 do so

The supply Bill.

Mr.. ALvoRD has introduced the Supply
BILL and the Assembly has made ii the spe-
cial order for tomorrow As reported IL
covers the snug sum Of $6,G2O,OO0. We be-
lievc this is without precedent In the his
tory Of the State. As this Is one of those
bills that never lose anything by much
handling, it is safe to assume that its hun
drcds of items will aggregate n round seven
millions by the time it reaches the Execu-
tive chamber. Unless II turns out to he
very different from its predecessors Of the
last twenty-five years, it will contain Sow
eral undisguiscd large swindles, while many
smaller rascalitics will snuggle in it, hooks
and corners.
The Supply bill Of old times was the
rogucs' refuge, a ccsspool Of corruption, and
n gricvous burden TO the State. As it always
embraced large number of appropriations
which We're necessary for carrying on the
Government the Governor was COM
PEELED to sign the bill, notwithstanding the
Objectionable items. But. thanks Ia the re-
cent constitutional amendment Gov ROBIN
SON can now wlnnow ont the stcalings and
apply his veto 10 Them while leaving the
honest portions to stand.
But glance at Old Salts bill shows
that it contains some rascally appropria-
tions which ought not TO be allowed even TO
go through the two Houses Indeed. they
should be put to death in the Assembly. and
at the first hearing in the Committee Of the
Whole. Among these are the thousands
which it is proposed TO pay 10 the lawyers
for defending LORD, BKLDEN, DENfsoN,
and the other members Of the Canal Ring.

II Is announced and is put in the form Of
q sort of threat that If Congress passes an
act giving the Supreme Court jurisdiction
In the matter OF the election Of President, to
be brought before the Court by the Attorney
General of Maryland, Mr.. HAYES will veto it,
Very well, let him veto it as soon as he
plcascs- The American people are not bound
hand and foot. and placed at the mercy Of
The man In the White House. If deprived Of
one means Of asserting their right to have
rulers of their own choosing, they will find
others. Does any one think they will be
.hwarted In their high resolve by RUTHER-
FORD Il. HAYES?
What sort of figure would Mr. HAYES. cut
vetoing bill looking TO an investigation Of
his own title 10 Office ? Sorricr even than
that which he makes now. which is sorry
enough The veto would be only form Of
aplca Of guilty. II he is afraid to have his
little lnve ,tigatcd, it Is because he knows ii
~ he vicious.
Guilty men add other folies to their
crimes HAYES may add the folly Of such a
veto to his. II he does, the man on whom it
will fall with crushing effect is none other
than himself. Ii would be a suicidal act
