 CoTUIT, MASS, Oct. 12, 1877. DR. KENNEDY, Rondout, N. Y.:
 Dear Sir.-This is to certify that I have been very much troubled with a diseased liver for 8 number of years and have tried various reme- dies and received little benefit frsm them; much of the time have been wholly unitted for business. Some tine since, by the advice of one of my neighbors, Capt. John M. Handy, I was induced to try Dr. D. Kennedy's "A VORITE REMEDY, and before had taken one bottle found myself getting steadily better, so much so that my friends generally remarked on my improved appearance, and have con- tinualy improved every since. have recom- mended it to number of persons who were suffering from Liyer Dtsease, Dyspepsia, Con- stp0tion, Piles etc., and it has never to relieve in every instance.

 Nevada produced in 1878, 27,725 tons of lead, or 425 tons more than any State or Ter itory.- Utah follows next behind with 19, BIO tons.
 The Congregationalist takes occasion from Charles Dudley Warmers observation, that 'the American is not so solicitous to live with in his income as he is to raise his income to the level of his extravaganza ;" to say that many are most anxious to have God lower His standard of obligation to meet our casses than they are to elevate and purify their motives and acts till they equal His standard
 A negro washerwoman in Denver gave great satisfaction to those who employed her by making their linen peculiarly white and glossy. This was the result of putting arsenic in the starch, and the secret was discovered through the almost fatal illness of girl into whose system the poison was absorbed.

PROF. TYNDALL.-Prof. Tyndall has earned well the position he occupies as scientific teacher. His life has witnessed the discovery of all the great generaliZations which have in modern times revolutionized physics and gv- en to the scientific mind of o-day an apprecia- tion of the unity of nature which would have been impossible in past times, and would only have been even suggested by the most superf- cial thinkers who owed the breadth of their views to their lack of depth and want of &C., quaintance with the difficulties of the subjects of which they treated. And during all this time he has been in the thick of the battle and has probably done more than any other man to spread the knowledge of these great physi- cal laws, and to make their nature and su- premacy part of the lore of educated man. From this has arisen in him a passionate en- thusiasm for these great fundamental truths, and strong distaste for regarding scientific subjects from any other point of view than relation to them. It is this quality, combined with his real genius for exposition, which makes him so skillfu in devising experiments to illustrate his lectures. No one is more con- scientious in refusing to shirk, or to allow his hearers to shrk, any of the real difficulties that beset the thorough comprehension of a sub 1ect 1; but, on the other hand, no one knows SO well how to distinguish between such difficult ties and questions which, if brought into prom thence, would only serve to distract the not too we'll informed nearer and divert his mind from the main principles. This leads him to choose as illustrations of his lectures experi- ments which, as it were. exemplify the princi- ples of his subject nakedly and in form which is as little complicated as possible with secenda- ry and subsidiary actions, so that the experi- ment itself is eloquent, even to the dullest brain, of the truth it is intended to tell And
 in all that hedoes it IS easy to see the effect of his training under Faraday, who to his genius for divining great laws added power pecu- liar to himself of presenting them to the mind in a. way whichseemed to give to them a physical embodiment, to clothe the naked distractions and turn them intoactual physical existences The reflex of this is seenin all Prof. Tyndall's lectures on physical subjects. There is a vividness in the pictures drawn by him which makes all his audiences recognize the facts of which he is speaking as actual living realities and thus to follow out their effects as they would never have been able to do had they received them merely as distractions deduced from observa- tion of the concomitant variations of certain natural phenomena. Hence, if any one cannot understand science as expounded by Prof.
 Tyndall, he need go to no other teacher. but had better give the matter up-7ne Saturdav ReOieao.

The Phosphate Interests.

We call attention to the report Of
tho Phosphate Commission. 1t is
signed by General BrattoD and Col.
Zimmerman Davis, ofCharleston, who
with j. D. Pope, Esq, Of Columbia,
were appointed by Governor Simp-
son. Mr.. Pope presented q minority
report. Tho report states conciscly
and clearly the points in issue, and
shows conclusive that as far as the
State is concerned tho granting of
exclusive rights to thoroughly equip
ped companies alone secures tho pay
mcnt of royalty and the exhaustive
mining of the beds. The State cannot
afford to lose much Of her valuable
deposits in order to allow individuals
to make little money. Indeed, 1t is
claimed that the thorough system Of
mining by the largo companies has
given employment to hundreds of Ia
borers, and allowed thcm to realize
moro money than they could possibly
have done under general rights.
Tho only argument used against
these exclusive rights is that they give
monopoly, and all persons unin-
formed are deceived by this. In fact
there is no monopoly about IL. Tho
State owns only those beds that lie In
the navigable streams and marshes ad-
joining. All deposits in the land or in
streams not navigable belong to pri-
vatc individuals, and it is easy to see
that these may be fifty or q hundred
times as much as the river deposits,
and permit any desired amount of
competition.
Another mistake is that tho fcrtiliz-
ers used by the farmers of South Caro-
lima are made from this river rock.
This Is not true. Heretofore, tho
river rock has been exclusively ship
ped to other ports, all the home phos-
pilates being furnished by the land
companies. The land phosphatcs arc
softer and moro easily reduced than
tho river deposits, and tho latter do
not come IN competition with them.
a great deal Of political capital has
been made out Of these phosphate
beds. From being firm believer in
tho system of general rights, we have
been induced by careful study of
the question to believe in the policy Of
granting these exclusive rights. Such,
We believe, will be the conclusion Of
every candid mind OH reading the re-
port Of ex-Attorney General Conner
and the more recent report Of tho
Phosphate Commission.
The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1879-12-13

due to tho skill and integrity he has
shown IN private life. We believe
TINT he will make an admirable officer.
The aldermen and school commission
crs are among tho stauncl,est citizens
IN Charleston. During the next four
years the city WILL mako vast strides
In material prosperity. Tuesdays
work was good thing for Charleston.
Its result is nmplc reward for oil the
work done during tho past summer
and autumn. The Democracy has
girdcd it's loins afresh for tho CAM
paign of 1880.
