Health. By w. III. corfeld (New York ID.
Appleton & Co.. Portland: Hoyt, Fogg &
Donham). The author of this volume is Pro-
fessor of Hygiene and Public Health at Lon
don University and holds similar position at
Cambridge, England, together with govern
ment office in the Health Department at Lon
don, so that the lectures of which the work is
composed, come with the authority Of an ex.
pert. The notes upon sanitary arrangements
for dwellings, and the general drainage etc. of
cities will be read with interest by Portlanders
in their hand-to-hand struggle with the mala-
rial demons of Back Bay and Prof. Corfield's
theories merit careful consideration.

ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS calls the
Democratic campaign mad rush for the
hog trough"
The Portland daily press., 1880-11-20

THE Argus has finally got round to SEN
sational story which the New York World
published some weeks ago, charging that
the war department records were over
hauled a short time before election by un-
official persons for the purpose of destroying
some compromising documents. The Argus
editorially asks that The facts be inquired
into and their significance laid bare, and
goes on to suggest that the numerous at
tempts to destroy public records by fire may
have meaning deeper than anybody ven
tured to suppose" Will the Argus be kind
enough to inform us when the numerous
attempts to destroy public records by fire
were made, aud if made why the Democrat
ic Congress has not inquired into them.
Certainly the Democrats have never mani
tested any hesitation to investigate when
there was the slightest prospect of impli-
eating a Republican official in corrupt prac-
tices. Why, then, have not the alleged at
tempts to destroy evidences of guilt by fire
been inquired into. Perhaps the Argus can
tell us. AS to the New York World story,
it was answered long ago and shown TO be
utterly destitute of truth.

Gratitied with the result upon himself, he tested
his discovery upon others who suffered from nerv-
Gus pain, and in every the relief was perfect.
The cures performed by his gifts of Polyfotm be-
came so celebrated and the demand upon his time

to the solicitation of those who knew the merits of
his preparation and allowed company to be formed

The number of remarkable cures, and the suffer

OF 100 10 1a5 per cent
In the cariy part Of 1870 foreign steel rails

trnted in that country. More than half the

at which the rails could bc produced thcre
without any profit to the manufacturer, be-
Ing baro cost, Even ut Mr. Potter'a own lg-
ures, that he could not sell steel rails at less
than $40 per ton, the starvation cost at which
foreign steel rails could be put down in this

Tho price OF pig Iron In this country has

tllall protected by q duty OIL steel twice the

per ton Oh steel rails would DO more pr0-
tectlvo than the duty Of 81 por ton Is on pig

Of steel rails in tho United States during
