SOME OF the Columbus politiciase
who are aspiring for appointments are
demanding that the salary of Railroad
Commissioner, which was reduced by
the last Legislature to s., 600 a year, be
restored to the old figures, 81 600 per
annum. OF course, the new Legisla-

THERE seems to be an immense flow
of gold to this country from Europe.
A dispatch from Washington dated
the 3Oth ult., estimates that from that
to the first of January the receipts of
gold from abroad will be S25,OO0,OOO
and possibly s3O,OOO,OOO. This looks
little like imitation, which the Radical
politicians hsve howlcd so loudly
against. Of course it is all the result
of John Sherman's financial policy.
Short crops in the old world and
abundant harvests here have nothing
to do with it.

PEELED to notice. Now is the time for

principles or men change.

THIRTY thousand people are actually
starving to death in Hungary. The
heavy rains and generally inclement
weather of the past season has caused
almost an entire failure of the crops
in that country, and great suffering is
the consequence. The surplus grain

be insufficient, great as it is, to supply
the wants of the people of Europe.

Catarrh al
$50 n

Wei De Meyers Treatise on Ca
tarrh, explains the following important facts ::
l. That Catarrhal Colds become a
poisonous Infection, at first local, and
finally constitutional. :.
2 That, being Constitutional, the infection
is beyond the reach of mere local
remedies
3. That impurities in the nostrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach
and inhaled into the lungs, thus poison
ing the Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-
urinary organs.
4. That Catarrhal virus follows the
mucous membrane and causes Deafness,
Dyspepsia. Chronic Diarrhoea, Bronchitis,
Leucorrhoes. and Consumption.
s. That Smokes, Douches, Inhalations,
and Insoluble Snuffs, cannot possibly
remove infectious Inflammation from the Or
gans named.
6. That an antidote for Catarrh must
possess IN inoculative affinity for, and the
quality of being absorbed by, the purulent
mucous wherever located.
Based upon these plain theories,
