The most astonishing cures of ner-
yous debility, exhausted vitality, semi
nal weakness, paralysis, impurities of
the blood, impaired memory, noises in
the head and general debility, are con-
stantly being made with the great Eng
lish remedy, Sir Ashley Cooper's Vital
Restorative, by DIR. Mintie 367, Holli-
day street, Denver. The doctor claims
that any case, no matter how bad, nor
of how long standing, can be cured if
properly managed. Excitant and irri-
tant medicines should never be given
in these troubles for they only exhaust
the already impaired nerve force. The
VITAL RESTORATIVE will not
EXCITE nor IRRITATE, but being
PURE NERVE FOOD will supply
new nerve force and build up the whole
system. Price, So bottle or four times
the quantity for $40, sent to any ad-
dress free from observation. All dis
eases of delicate or private nature
treated in the most scientific manner.
Charges reasonable. Office hours 10 to

Large Surplus of wheat,

New York, Feb. THE Commercial
Bulletin says: Private and better in
formation than the newspapers afford,
places the surplus of wheat this season
in Australia and New Zealand at
375, 200 tons.
Mercantile letters from Victoria and
New Zealand estimate the surplus OF
those colonies at 10000 tons respec-
lively. So great has been the pressure
for vessels to carry the Australia sup
ply that freights from that country to
England have risen from 35s. to Cos.
per ton. From these sources England
apparently expects to draw 20. 200, ,000
bushels.
Reports from India also warrant the
expectation of an unusually large crop.
but no definite estimates are given.
Chill also stands among the tropical
countries that have an unusual surplus
of wheat for export No definite esti-
mates of the Chilian crop have yet ap,
peared.
Putting together the exportable sur
plus from all the aforementioned coun.
tries, the aggregate may perhaps be
taken at 275,000 bushels above the
average of late years, and beyond what
was expected when the estimates of the
result of the harvestsI of 1879 were
made up.

EX-DIVsDEND.
The Question of Central Pacific DIvI-
dends Settled.

New York, Feb. THE 1ribun,
says, Immediately after the recent sale
on the stock exchange, of fifty thous
and shares of the Central Pacific stock.
some of the buyers claimed that they
were entitled to the declared dividend
of three per cent. which was payable on
February l. The stock of the Central
Pacific is peculiar in this respect, that
shares bear dividend coupon warrants,
numbered consecutively. on which divi.
dends are paid when declared, the
ninth dividend was payable last Mon
day, but the coupon had been cut from
the stock dividend last week by the
syndicate. The claim to this dividend
was referred to an arbitration commit
tee of the stock exchange which yester-
day held protracted meeting, all OF
the members of the committee, of which
Salem t. Russell, of S. L. Russell g. Co.,
is chairman, were present. The syndi-
cate was represented by its executive
committee, consisting of R. z. Flower,
j. d. Prince and j. d. Probat.
c. P. Huntington, vice-president of
the Central Pacific railroad company,
through whom the stock was sold to
the syndicate, appeared as a..witness be-
fore the committee, and Isadore Worm
ser, w. B. Lockwood and Louis Marx
were also witnesses. 1t was shown in
behalf of the syndicate, that it had
bought tho dividends, and that the
buyers of more than four hundred
thousand shares of the stock sold on
exchange, were aware that the stock
was then offered by the syndicate with
out dividend coupons. After a long
discussion, in which j. ID. Prince made
the closing argument on the part of the
syndicate, the committee decided that
the stock was sold properly, ex-divi-
dend. The opinion, which is final, was
unanimous. This is said to be the first
case of this kind in this country, al
though stock with dividend coupons is
said to be not uncommon.
The arbitration committee of the
stock exchange has decided that the
fifty thousand shares of the Central
Pacific stock sold January 20, by five
brokers, representing the syndicate in
stock, was sold rs "ex-dividend," that
is, without dividend of three per cent.

New stock Exchange.

New York, Feb. IA new mining
stock board will be, ready to, begin oper-
ations in few days. Behind it are
some of the largest .miners and mining
operators in the country, and on the
committee of organization are such
names as Senator Jones, ex-senator
Mcdonald, Stephen B. Eikins, ex-Gov-
ernor Stafford, George d. Roberts and
Henry Havemyer. Handsome rooms
have been opened and. furnished on the
ground floor of tae Boreel building at
ll5 Broadway, and the offices connect
ing with the mining trust company's
interest are on the floor above. 1t is
proposed to combine, under q special
charter three organizations:
First, A mining exchange for tia
purpose similar to that already in exis-
tence, confined entirely to mining
stocks.
second, A clearing house for min
ing stock operators.
Third, A mining trust company,
whose loans are to be made on mining
stocks and securities.
The originators of the scheme do not
intend to interfere in any way with the
regtlar business of either the present
stock or mining exchanges, and it is
tnought that circumstances may ulti-
mately lead to an amalgamation with
Tue latter. 1t is understood that the

master general, at the request of the
attorney of the Russian consul general,
ordered the letters to be detained.
1t appears that two men fraudulently
obtained an amount of money from an
old naval officer in Belgium and for
warded it to friends in Brooklyn. 1t is
supposed that these are the letters. AS
the law requires such letters to be de-
livered only to the persons to whom
they are addressed, an official applica-
tion is expected for the return of the
letters to Belgium. In anticipation of
this, the post master general has refer
red the subject to the attorney general
for decision.

away by the statement that Liverpool
is essentially of a conservative constit-
uency. That may be its bias, but since
the passage Of the reform bill it seven
times returned liberal member, either
first or second in voting, and since there
has been three members, the. third has
always been liberal
In conclusion it says that the coun-
try does not believe that the govern
ment does not deserve the denuncia-
tions which have been heaped upon
them, but rather thinks they should
have fair chance of completing their
work.

GRANTS CANVASS.
Pros and Cons of the situation-some
Political Talk.

New York, Feb. THE Times, a
strong Grant organ. says: When
the Grant movement loses the charac-
ter of spontaneous and emphatic man.
Hesitation of the republican sentiment,
it will have lost all title to the public
confidence. Grants self respect is not
likely to permit the presentation of his
name to the convention as the result of
persistent course of political trickery,
and if it did, most of the elements of a
successful canvass in his favor would be
eleminated in advance.
Chicago, Feb. IA Washington
dispatch says fact of some Importance
connected with the Harrisburg conven-
tion has not yet been reported. Five
seats were contested. The holders of
these seats were all Blaine men. The
contests were referred to the machine
committee and all contestants were
seated. They were, without exception,
Cameron men. This made difference
of ten votes on the test ballot, and but
for this arbitrary action of the Came
ron managers Grant would have had
only ten instead of twenty majority.
Washington, Feb. 7.-Gen. Grants
friends at Washington are so confident
of his nomination at Chicago that they
are discussing the advisability of sound
R1n N NJ, hn ctt1.tnaf Of
second place on the the ticket. The
theory entertained in some quarters
that the general will not enter the con-
test unless his nomination is secured
without opposition is ridiculed ut the
capital.
Meanwhile opinions differ greatly
about the position of Sherman and
Blaine. One old politician says it was
very shrewd of Sherman to put up
Blaine to antagonize Grant; said he,
"Blaine has begun to fight Grant, and
it is now impossible for him to come in
as an heir to the Grant strength in case
Grant is withdrawn. These votes
would much more naturally go to John
Sherman
A friend of Blaine said to-day that
Blaine was not organizing, as he had
the last time, and that he did not intend
to raise his hand; all that is done must
be done by his friends. He does not in

London, Feb. IA blue book on
Afghan affairs has .been issued. In it
Gen. Roberts, reports Il conversation in
October, 10, with Yakoob Khan, who
stated the British mission under Sir
Neville Chamberlain, was turned back
by the advice of the Russian envoy at
Cabul, (Stolictoff) and that when Shere
Ali quilted Afghanistan, in December,
'7S, he issued tirman to the authori-
ties at Herat declaring that Stolictoff
had writted him as follows: 1.-The
emperor's desire is that you should not
admit the English into your country,
and, like last year, you are to treat
them with deceit until the cold season
passes away, then the will of the
Almighty will be made manifest to you;
that is to say, the Russian government
will come to your assistance; either by
diplomatic action we will entirely cut
off all English communication and in
reference with Afghanistan, or events
will end in mighty and important
war;
Respecting affairs in Central Asia
the blue book shows that on the 9th of
July, '79, Lord Salisbury, minister of
foreign affairs, asked Count Schouva-
loft, ambassador to England, whether
there was any truth in the reports that
an expedition from Caspian intended
to occupy Merv. Count Schouvaloff
said the expedition was directed against
the ke-Turcomans, and that he en-
tirely disbelieved the existence, among
any Russian statesmen, of wish to
advance on Merv. On the 10th of
July last Degiers, of the foreign office,
reported these assurances to Lord Duff
ferin, British ambassador to Russia, in
most positive form.
Baron Jomini told Lord Dufferin that
the expedition would stop two hundred
versts short of Merv, but added al
though we do not intend 70 go to Merv,
or do anything which may be inter
preted as a menace to England, you
must not deceive yourself, for the re-
suit of our present proceedings will be
to furnish us with a base for operations
against England hereafter, should the
British government, by the occupation
of Herat, threaten our present position
in Central Asia"
On the 18th of August the emperor
assured Lord Dufferin that there was
no intention of the Russian troops
to advance on Meru, but on August 25
De Giers, commenting on the terms in
which Stanhope, the British under sec
retary of state for India, conveyed the
Russias assurances on this subject to
the house of commons, said he consid-
cred that Stanhope's language went
too far, and that, although an advance
on Merv formed no part of the existing
programme, Russia did not intend, by
solemn pledge given for all time, to

Attack. on Process servers-Irish Re

Dublin, Feb. IA dispatch from
Galway states that large body of ten
antry went into the town of Cheny,
headed by Father McWhilim, and beat
off number of process servers, who
were under the protection of small de-
tachment Of constabulary. Great ex-
citement prevailed among the populace
and some shots were fired, no serious
damage was done. The constabulary
acted with moderation, combining them
selves to defensive measures.
The process servers were thoroughly
frightened, and withdrew, carrying
their papers with them.
Rumors prevail here, but are not
traceable to any authoritative source
that attempts have been made to assas-
sinate the bailiffs of Dunstandle.

Testimony Before the Exodu. Com.
mittee.

Washington. Feb. Before the SEN
ate committee to-day Leonard G. A.
Hackney, prosecuting attorney for the
district of Shelbyville, Ind, testified
that 26 colored emigrants arrived at
Shelbyville on Dec. 18th. The mayor
called meeting of the council and
provision was made for the destitute.
Twenty came afterwards, and he had
heard that three other companies had
camped near there. He said there was
no doubt but that all the democrats dis
liked to see the emigrants come, and
most of the laboring classes generally
discountenance the movement.
Milton NJ. Holland, member Of the
Washington emigrant aid society, tes-
titled that its object was solely chraita-
BILE, and no political purpose was con-
nected with it. On their request about
sixty emigrants had been sent to Ohio
instead of Kansas. So far as the
movement being republican, the society
felt very hard towards republicans be-
cause they had not contributed much
money.
Samuel A. Perry (colored) said there
had been much distress among the ne
groes, and one hundred got together
and endeavored to get some northern
capitalists to help them. There was no
thought of exodus. He, and Mr..
Williams, went to Indiana to look for
locations. He did not hear word
about political intrigues while in Indi-
ana. He consorted most with republi-
cans; it was most natural for him to
do SO
