From the Chicago Tribune:

November u,
Having heard the OF Mr.. Wesley Sisson, a
well known lawyer in this city, mentioned in connec
ton with wonderful cure the reporter visited him at
his office No. 1850 Washington street. The statement
which the reporter heard here wonderful that
had it from less reliable source, 1t would have
been deemed hardly credible. The gentleman stated
that during the summer months he paid visit to Mo-
bile, Ala, and that while there he must have become
effected by the NAL nis yapors which abound on the
Gull coast after his arrival home three months ago,
he took sick with the rheumatism. The malady at

much opposition his part he did not believe that
any externally applied remedy could help so stubborn

OF bottles. At this time his condition was pltable.

Mr.. Wood claims that the new en-
closed gear mower was brought out in
1873 and is already in use by more than
10000 farmers. Its popularity is so
great and the demand for it so active
that he has, for the past two seasons,
fallen largely short of filling orders.
1t combines the best qualities of the
well-tried and Justly accelerated "Walter
A. Wood Iron frame Mower" with many
new and advantageous features entirely
peculiar to itself. Its superior cutting
qualities, adaptation TO all conditions of
grass and surface, unequaled lightness
of draft and stiffness of operation have
been fully demonstrated, and it's strength
and durability subjected to unusually
severe and trying tests, with the most
gratifying results both co the farmer
and the manufacturer

They manufactured and sold in 1879
at least three times the number of these

the increase for 1880 promises to be
equally large.
We call the attention of the public
to the following points of excellence
The automatic gear for controlling the

reaper what they term the automatic

THAT TEXAS OUTRAGE.

4 week ago a dispatch, purporting to
hSve- been received from Brazoria, in
Texas, by the Chicago Inter- Ocean, was
son. to this coast by the Associated
Press. The dispatch stated that aFed-
efal official named Bissell, was threat
ened with assassinatioR by g gang of
bulldozers led by one DR.. Ascham, for
making speech at Republican meet
ing in Brazoria, and that Bisscll, fear
ing death at the hands of the assassins,
fed to Galveston. The Inser-Oeean
stated that the outrage would be dis
cussed at Cabinet meeting last Tues
day. and that measures would be adopt
cd to bring the alleged buNaozers to
justice. The Cabinet meeting was held
last Tuesday, and all the heads of the
Departments who were not off on cam
paign duty, like Thompson and Schurz,
at the expense of the public, were
present at the meeting. The telegraph
&c reports of the meeting are silent ON
the subject of the Texas outrage, and
thore has been nothing in the dispatches
20 indicate that the subject was men
toned. In fact, the Associated Press
does not confirm or deny the truth
of the report that was published
in the Inter Ocean, and which, strange
TO say, was sent to no other pa per. In
the interest of justice, this matter
ought to be investigated, that the pub
lie may know whether the freedom of
speech has been denied Federal Off
Ger in the State OF Texas. Specific
charges were made against DR. As

him to State Prison, and if untrue, will

expects to fire the Northern heart and
make political capital during the cam
paign. There seems to be class of
newspapers, as well as individuals, who
while protesting to be opposed to bull
doing and milder forms of iDtimida-
ton, rejoice over outrages on citizens in
the South, because of the opportunity
# affords then to arouse sectional pre-
iudices. If this Texas case was made
up for their special benefit, that fact
ought to be made public, and if it was
not, Ascham and his gang ought to be
punished.

Professor Wark has endeavored to
explain the motive of DR.. Tanner in
fasting forty days. He has conversed
a. great deal, with the Doctor Pro-
fessor Wark says he holds that I'M
cleanliness and impurity in the body,
from which diseases spring, and on
which it feeds, arise from two sources
excess Of food taken over the body's,
need and debris of the worn ont tissues
Of the body itself. The latter must ex-
list while life lasts; the former may be
out off by fasting, and while abstaining
from food, the processes of nature are
then more easily capable of freeing the
system. DIR. Tanner thinks the cardi-
nal error being overlooking, he means
to show by fasting forty days that it is
perfectly safe for others to fast four,
five,- six or ten days, and that they will
derive benefit from so doing.

THE CHARGES AGAINST THE MINT.

The virginia Chronicle continues 70
publish charges of dishonesty and in
competency preferred against the Off
Gals of the Carson Mint. Responsible
citizens of Storey and Lyon counties,
whose names are given, allege that
false returns have been made by the
officials, some of which have been cor
rected since the matter was made pub
lie by the Chronicle J. M. Douglass,
Of Virginia, charges that the Mint has
repeatedly allowed him less than the
market rate for bullion, thereby caus-
ing him loss Of IA to is cents an
ounce. The truth of this charge has,
been admitted by the Superintendent,
who made correction and sent Mr..
Douglass the difference Oh one lot OF
bullion. Others, however, according to
their statements, have not been so for
.anate, as their alleged losses have not
been made good by the Mint
An employee of the Mint charges that
be and others were paid a full months
wages, for less than full months
work, on condition that they contribute
a portion of the money to the Republi-
can campaign fund.- No answer has
been made to this charge by the Super
i.itendeRt of the Mint or his subordi-
mates, or newspaper organs, though the
Carson Appeal has endeavored to ex-
plain. the loss Of gold nugget by as
serting that it was pin which caught
N the bullion sack, where it was after
wards found, though the person who
deposited the bullion, Of which the mug
get was part, says it was not a PIN.
AS MINIS are supposed to be estab-
l;sked- for the convenience of the pub
lie. and run for the benefit of the whole
country, instead Of political parties
and individuals, these charges ought to-
be investigated. Complaints have been
made repeatedly that the Carson. Mint,
which 10 situated within, few miles of
the ComstDck mines, and in the center
Of the richest silver producing region
on the continent, could not purchase suf
tiicient bullion to run it steadily, though
tons of that article were being shipped
past its doors weekly to San Francisco.
This could scarcely occur if the Mint
assays were. as favorable to the bullion
owners as those made at San francisco,
or by the assayers at the mines. The
simple assertion of the Carson newspa-
pers that the Superintendent OF the
Mint is an honest man, does not salts
factorily explain this circumstance or
answer the charges published IN the
Chronicle. Every official is presumed
10 be honest until the contrary is.
proved. IF men are paid for services
they do not render, upon condition
that they divide the money, which
sightfully belongs to the public, for
the benefit of party, that ought to be
shown to the public

! at a meeting of the Demo

mIttee, held on Wednesda,
last, it was unanimously re.
solved to hold a mass meeting
in this town on Wednesda,
next. 9th inst.
The campaign in the entire
State has been exceedingly
quiet this year and the commit
tee very wisely concluded that
it would be impolitic to let the
election pass without some de-
monstratiOn and ratification
Of the ticket nominated at Gin
cinnati in the summer. It is
the supposition ola great many
voters in this parish that here
we will have no foe to combat.
but this is a dangerous pre-
sumption, for already we hear
OF men who are positively going
the district and State
and secretly and quietly organ
'ZiDg the colored voters for the
election. Could any Democrat
ever forgive himself she uld he
allow his parish return to tie
rule Of the Radical party b>

good crowd Of both colored and
white voters present on the oc-
CASTOR in question, when such
