The most astonishing cures of ner-
vous debility, exhausted vitality, semi
nal weakness, paralysis, impurities of
the blood, impaired memory, noises i'll
the head and general debility, are con-
stantly being made with the great Eng
lish remedy, Sir Ashley Cooper's Vital
Restorative, by DR.. Mintie 367, Iolli-
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
a PURE NERVE FOOD will supply
new nerve force and build up the whole
system. Price, SO a bottle or four times

eases of delicate or private nature

THE GRAZING LANDS.
A Deliverance Upon the Subject by Il
NebraAkn Ronrd.


Lincoln, Jan. 24.-The Nebraska
board of horticulture is now in session
at Lincoln. Among other subjects
which have been considered is that of
the preliminary report of the congress
sional committee in favor of withdraw
ing all the public land west of the Tooth
meridian, amounting in the aggregate
to one hundred million acres from en-
try by homestead and preemption and
giving them upon long leases to the
cattle kings. The reason for this pro-
posed change of the policy is that the
land west of the Tooth meridian will
never be fit for farms, not even with
irrigation. The board considered this
allegation in the light of Nebraska IS
experience, the continual westward
extension of the cultivated country and
successful farming without irri cation
being opened 100 miles west of Tooth
meridian, and decided the report to be
entirely untrue in the result.
On the motion of Prof. Wilbur it
was resolved that the Nebraska state
horticultural society repudiate the
congressional report as untrue, and in
furious to the state and nation, and
orders that statistics be forwarded ia
Washington in disproof of the allega-
tion and with the view to save this
great body of western lands to the peo-

A French View of parnelrs success

Paris, Jan. 24.-The Temps, COM
menting on the sympathy shown to
Parnell by American dignitaries and
legislatures says:
''Parnell has evidently been adroit in
selecting the time for his American
campaign. The presidential election
will be held in the course of the year
and the vote of seven millions of Irish
is very important. There is no wish to
estrange the Irish, and this is why
Parnell is supported. He will return
to ireland with the prestige of great
success and the strength given by a
respectable sum of money. His party
will therefore approach the coming
elections in especially favorable
circumstances with their organization
all prepared and with plenty of money.

house then voted to send the questions
to the Justices court.
The senate voted to concur with the

A communication was received from

SHARP PRACTICE.
THE ExoDUs INVESTIGATION.
A smart Railroad Passenger Agent
Interesting Testimony Brought
to the Front-Other Items
of Interest.

Washington, January 24-The SEN
ate committee on colored exodus to-day
examined ]. p. Dukehart, southern pas
senger agent for the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad company. He testified
that he has made several visits TO North
to secure as large share as possible of
the exodus travel, and that he effected
arrangements with the local promoters
of the movement, by which the b. s. o.
railroad obtained the transportation of
all the colored people who have up to
this time, since last October, emigrated
from North Carolina to Indiana. The
through rate from Goldboro to In
dianapolis for these emigrants was
S16.65 for each person above the age of
II years, half-fare for children from 5
to u, younger children free. In all
these arrangements the company agreed
to pay 2. Taylor Evans of Goldsboro
(colored mani, who worked up'' the
emigration drawback of one dollar
per head for each full fare passenger,
and fifty cents for each half ticket sold.
This was well known standing in
ducement held out by himself and
agents of companion roads to men like
Evans and Perry, and Williams to get
up as large an emigration as possible.
Evans told witness that he commenced
working up the exodus sixteen months
ago by means of mass meetings, secret
societies, etc. Witness while in North
Carolina had seen many of the circu.
lars asserting that the colored people
would find plenty of work in Indiana,
wages 81 to s1.50. Perry and Williams
also circulated report that the emf
grants, upon reaching Washington
would be provided with new clothes
and transportation to Indiana or Kan
sas. The circulars were largely made
up of editorials from the Greencastle,
Ind, Banner, and also included what
purported to be certificates from num-
Der of the North Carolina colored peo-
pie who had already gone to Indiana,
that they had found work and advised
their friends to follow. In the opinion
of the witness the exodus would con-
tinue just as long as the colored people
could raise money to pay their fare or
until checked by unfavorable reports
from their friends at the other end of
the line. In this event, he would go
out to Indiana and try and secure them
as passengers back over the Baltimore
and Ohio lines.

LEEDS LIGHT.
Important Evidence ReaeetIn. on an
Indian Commissioners

Indian Commissioner.
Washington, D. c., Jan. "a
William NJ. Leeds, the late chef
clerk of the Indian office, was before
senate committee to examine into
the circumstances connected with the
removal of the northern Cheyenn es
from the Sioux reservation to the Indi-
an. territory. He said the complaint
OF these Indians, that they were being
starved at their agency, was true. The
Indian office was informed by their
agent of the lack of food, and Commits
sioner Hayt failed to furnish the agent
with the supplies which the treaty
called for.
Leeds said Commissioner Hayt's
statement, in his annual report for rs,
referring to the food supply for these
Indians, is deceptive in several partic-
ulars, including the following, viz:
that it states that the quantities which
were shipped and delivered to the
agent, us amounts which were issued
to the Indians, and makes no allow
ance for loss and shrinkage, and omits
the alleged fact that for some weeks
immediately preceding the outbreak
the starvation rations upon which they
had previously existed, was further de-
creased by the non delivery of one-half
pound per diem of flour, to which they
were each entitled.

Keene's wheat Corner Will Break

New York, Jan. 24.-The Herald,
commenting on the motion in the pro-
duce exchange to hold meeting of
grain merchants, protesting against the
grain blockade, thinks such meeting
unnecessary. Keene's clique, it says,
will break down because it has miscal-
culated. 1t has failed in forecasting
the state of markets, and must suffer
the consequences. The foreign mar
ket has proved dull, when they expect
ed it to be brisk and eager. They were
misled by the wonderful activity of
the foreign grain trade in the early
autumn months. They made mis-
take in supposing.that the great amount
of wheat shipped to Europe during the
autumn months represented a demand
for immediate consumption, when in
fact it was mere precaution against a
great run in American prices, looking
to the future, and intended to secure
the profits of the winter and spring
trade for Europe, instead of American
speculators. Another great miscalcu-
lation made by the Keene syndicate was
its under estimate of the other sources
of supply than America. The Herald
thinks the Chicago ''corner' will nee
essarily break, and says that it is now
a question not of weeks but of days.

A STORY FROM PARIS.

Correspondent Philadelphia Bulletin.l
During the last year was in Paris 1
heard very pretty story. A party of
merry, bright-eycd American girls
were at window, looking out upon a
court yard. Soon seemingly old man
crossed the yard. "That's the Marquis
of *" said one of the girls. "He
lives in garret of the house, and lives
by giving French lessons" "I'll be-
gin lessons with him tom orrow, then"
said one of the youngest girls. And
she did so. She soon perceived that
her master was one of the most pol
ished men she had ever met. He was
not over thirty. Want and grief alone
had bent him into premature old age,
for he had an aged and sick mother to
keep, which his earnings could not al
ways do. What did our little Ameri-
can girl do? ? She quietly proposed TO
marry the Marquis. / need not tell
you how readily he accepted. This is
the happiest marriage between poor
French nobleman and a rich American
girl that / know of j can give the
number of the house and the street
where the first act of the comedy took
place. The Marques walks now as
as any one, and the dowager
Marchioness may frequently be seen
at the Bots sitting by the side OF her
brilliant daughter-iu-law, whom she
worships, as well she may.

asked him 10 return to the room on
important business. He climbed back
the stairs, and the lawyer asked him:,

ROMANTIC WEDDING.

Romantic weddings are frequent
enough nowadays; but years ago they
might not have been so common. An
auecdote is told of Dean Swift, who
being overtaken by thunder storm
one day, took shelter under tree
where he found a party of young girls
waiting for the rain to cease. One
young girl was weeping, and the Dean
learned that she was on the way to
church to be married to young man
who was with her. "Nevcr mind, I'll
marry you,3 said the Dean and took
up his praycr-book, and then and
there performed the ceremony; and, to
make the thing complete, he tore a
leaf from his pocket-bool, and with his
pencil wrote and signed certificate,
which he handed to the bride. 1t was
as follows:
Under troe in stormy weather,
/ married this man and woman together;
Let none but Him who rules the thunder
Sever this man and woman asunder.
