JOHN HANNAS, being Blacksmith by
IL trade, had often felt the want OF some means
whereby could soften iron at the forge, so that
could work it at q better advantage. This induced
nae to make many experiments with different SUB
stances which offered the best prospect OF success
1t was one of these Occasions that discovered
the wonderful effects of Electro Silicon on the
Human System. -3& q J41

bottle of Electro Silicon Liniment, and told him TO

It had worked just as 1t did in my case producing
perfect cure. gave it to Others of my neigh bore
and friends, for miles around who were suffering
from Swelled Limbs, rheumatism, Neuralgia, Stiff
Joints, Burns, ETC., all of which it cured without
any trouble. Finding that the Electro Silicon Lin

POLITICAL POINTS.
The political campaign has beo

The political campaign has begun
in earnest. The Ku-klux are committing
awful Outrages-ip the New York Times.
Chicago Tribune and New York Tribune
offices.
General Garfield came out of
Chicago as dark horse. He grows
daily darker and bids fair to disapp pc ar
entirely from the public eye before the
race is run.
1t must be painful to the average
Republican, who fights the war over
every year so valiantly, to see how limp
the bloody shirt hangs as a banner since
tue nomination of General Hancock at
Observation-Disclosures Sentinel.
"A clerk in one of the depart
ments at Washington, receiving one
hundred dollars per month, found only
eighty dollars in his envelope on July 1.
There was a note, however, stating
that as he had not responded to the in
campaign fund, an assessment had been
made on him.
The Southern Republicans are
making most emphatic demand for
the barrel to be rolled down their way,
but they will call in vain. The Radical
managers will not put their money
where it can do them no good. They
understand that the South is solidly
Democratic. and that the old system Of
carrying Southern States by negro
and carpet-bag alliance, resting on a
background of bayonets, can't be
revived. ~ Washington Post.
There is some reason for believ-
ing that the Republicans mediate sur
render of the Presidency in order to Sc
cure Congress. Their apathy toward
Garfield and Arthur is too plain fact
to be disputed; but to suppose that they
are ready to yield every hold on the
power they have welded for nineteen
years would be an ineXcusable mistake.
They are not so hopeless as that. If
they are to be routed from the Execu-
tive Office they will attempt to secure a
compensation for the loss by Iegaining
their authority in Congress. Louis
Republican.
The irrefutable charges against
Hancock are accommodating ominously.
The last awful allegation is that his
wife, when a mere girl, actually attend
ed Catholic school for several months.
1t is true that General Hancock was not
then responsible for the young lady's
acts, but the Radical logicians solemnly
argue that, by subsequently marrying
her, he assumed such respons bility.
Now, if Mr.. Hayes would write the
venerable DR.. Woolsey and ask his
opinion on this matter, the country
might be spared peril Washington

fact. I repeat, if the fact be so, it is a pro-
found mystery, utterly surprising my COM
believe you are in very great error as to
facts. On careful examination at the proper
source, find that at the date of yuor letter
fOnr cases only of homicides had been report
ed to these headquarters as having occurred
since November %, 1857, the date of Order 40,
and these ci,seS were ordered TO be tried or
investigated as soon as the reports were re-
ceIved. However, the fact of the one hundred
homicides may still be correct, as stated by
you. The Freedman'S Bureau in Texas re-
ported one hundred and sixty. How many of
these were by Indians and Mexcans, and how
the remainder were classified, is not known,
nor IS it known whether these data are ac-
curate.
The report of the commanding officer of the
District of Texas shows that since assumed
command no applications have been made to
MIN Dy you Tor the arrest of criminals in the
State of Texas.
TO this date eighteen cases of homicides
have been reported to me as having occurred
since November %, 1861, although special in
structions had been given to report such cases
as they occur. OF these, five were committed
man, three by colored IN IN, two OF women by
their husbands, and of the remainder some by
parties I'm SNOWFALL of which could scarcely
be attributable to Order No. 70. LIE the reports
received since the issuing of Order No. = are
correct, they exhibit no increase of homicides

Cured in the past twelve months.

That three has been no such wanton disre-
gard of duty on the part of officials as you al
lege, am well satisfied. A very little while
ago you regarded the present officials in Texas
the only ones who could be safely trusted with
power. Now you pronounce them worthless,
and would cast them aside.
l have found little else in your letter but in
d1cationS OF temper, lashed into excitement
by causes which deem mostly imaginary-a
great confidence in the accuracy of your own
opinions and an intolerance of the opinions of
others, a desire to punish the thoughts and
feelings of those who differ from You, and an
1mpatience which magnities the shortcomings
OF officials who are perhaps as earnest and con-
scientious in the discharge of their duties as

tipathy would call at certain hour,
stationed himself in the hallway to re-
ceive him. The first to ring the bell
was his own father, but he struck before
he looked, and knocked the astounded
old man off the steps. Resuming his
watch, he hit the next conner with equal
precipitancy, and down went the post

The Czar, the author says, "is a man who lacks the iron will and energy of his great progenitor, Peter, or even of his own father, Nicholas, but he is endowed with greatness and tenderness of heart which few autocratic rulers have possessed he be- gan his reign with an act of justice, the great ness of which as the individual act of one man IS equalled by but one other-the eman- cipation by Abraham Lincoln. He is closing 1t by another act of justice only less great, the effort to free his co-religionists from the intolerable oppression of the Turk'' In this chapter the author gives also a description of dinner with the emperor at his headquar- ters, and of personal interview afterwards, Ill which the coveted permission to join the army and take part in it's active operations Is given. In pursuance of this object he soon joined the headquarters of the Grand Duke Nicholas in Bulgaria. and almost immediately took part in the battle of Shipka Pass Then comes vivid description of the fall of ''Plevna," and the scene in the town just after the surrender. An account of the win ter campaign follows, then a description of the generals of the army. The position of ''war correspondents is reviewed, descrip- tion of the work, the life during the cam paign, and the death of J. A.

NEW HAVEN. Ju1J

NEW HAVEN, July 9. It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Lighthill and the successful results of his treatment For the past thirty-six years had been troubled with catarrhal complaint, which was very annoying and often interfered with my swal- lowing and breathing Of late years it at tackled my hearing, impairing it to g consid- erable extent, and as it kept constantly in creasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience. One of Dr. Lighthill's pa- tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me to place myself un- der his care, and happily did so. Dr. Light hill effectually removed the catarrhal com plaint and all it's attendant troubles, and re- stored my hearing to it's former perfection and acuteness. know Dr. Lighthi1l's repu- tation is so well known that any recommen- dation on my part is scarcely necessary, but feel like discharging duty to the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity to make this pub lie statement of my case, so that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief
 My happy experience of the results of Dr. Lighthills efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and feel assured that few min utes' conversation with Dr. Lighthin will con- vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is a master of his profession.
