An Astonishing Fact

A large proportion Of the American peo-
rle are to-day suffering from the effects of
Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result
of these diseases upon the masses of in,

alarming, making life actually burden in
stead Of pleasant existance Of enjoyment
aud usefulness as it ought to be. There
is no good reason for this, if you will only
throw aside prejudice and skepticism. take

WASHINGTON, D. C.,IFeb. 9th, 1879.
The Great custom, house battle has
been fought, and victory is on the side of
the Administration. Yesterday there was
much rejoicing, and lively exchange of
congratulations among the personal and
political friends of the Secretary of the
Treasury, but the President received the
news Of confirmation without apparent
surprise, and did not permit himself
openly to exult On the morning after
his defeat, when he came:into the Senate
chamber, all the eyes of the galleries were
fixed upon the New York Senator, but
there was nothing in his appearance to
indicate a consciousness Of subjugation. He
perhaps feels that he is young and can
bide his time-that every Senator has his
day, and that even this defeat may be
retrieved. But although his seat in the
Senate is secure for elk years, this first
great reverse may have momentous in
fueuce on his political future. There is
an ebb as well as tide in
the affairs of men, and this defeat
wrests from him immense patronage and
strips hundreds of his friends of the
sinews of political warfare. 1t is insisted

effect the fact that it is. This is victory

Dickens Dying Prisoner.

Ona recent Saturday morning an aged
man went into the Office attached to the
iron foundry of Messrs. Adams & Story,
in Philadelphia. While the attention
of the clerk Was attracted away from
him he approached the freproof, the
outer door of which was open, and I'M
locking the inner one with a false key, he
took therefrom two $5 bills and q check
for $50, together with some documents
which happened handy. Before he had
succeeded in making off with his booty,
however, one ofthe employees chancedto
gaze in his direction. "Wkat are you
doing thereP" asked the detector.
"Nothing," answed the detected, but
the employee was not to be fooled by such
a reply, and upon making an examina:
ton he found what has been related
above. The aged pilferer was then
nabbed and handed over to q policeman,
who was soon summoned, and who took
him to the Twelfth District station
house, where he gave the name Of David
Suffer. On being subsequently con.
fronted by Lieutenant Axe, he was
identified as Charles Langheimer, the
man made famous by Charles Dickens.

easiest way to stop an inclination to

any of those countries is a native known

where there were many colored persons
and I made it a point to note if they ever
sneezed. I never saw or heard one O
