Mr.. s. o. DuNBAR,-Dear Sir; am happy to
hear that your preparation Of fgid Magnesa is
coming into general use. While it Is more econo-

have found ii vastly more eficien'. and not only
an antieeptic and anti-acid upon the stomach, but
a very considerable tonic. 1t is beautiful med-

An extensive water famine threatens
east Pennsylvania. The long drought OF
tho autumn, closely followed by intensely
severe weather, closing all streams and
springs, is the cause. The Philadelphia
and Reading rolling mill in Reading and
many other iron Industrial establfshme nts
are closed IN consequence. Farmers are
driving stock for miles to water, andiwater
for household needs is hauled in barrels.
Wells are dry for the first time In fifty
years. and streams which were very low
are ice bound. threatening to remaip so
all winter unless there is a thaw. The
earth IS very dry and freezing hard. The
anthracite coal country is suffering, and
the extensive iron ore washeries must be
shut down. The SchuyIkill valley is also
suffering more or less Water costs fifty
cents barrel in many localities, counting
the cost of labor to haul it. All grist
mills. WOODEN mills. and FORCES dependent
upon water for power must shut down.
throwing hundreds out Of employment.
The supply pipes furnishing tho city from
the leading sources are running no
water, and the citizens are alarmed at
what may prove the worst famine they
have get experienced.

The report now comes thai the portfolio
of the treasury has been rendered to Sec
rotary Sherman and that the Office has
been declined; that he intends to make a
6ght for the position of Z. s. Senator
from Ohio. and will have that or nothing.
The idea of John Sherman declining an
Office is absurd.-is is not in keeping with
his record. Hs will probably try to be U /.
8, Senator, and failing. will take any Office
in the gift of the new administration which
may be offered him.

The sole mission of the Republican
papers Of Chicago at present. seems to be
to devise ways and means to defeat Hon.
Garter Harrison's re- election for mayor.
This is bigger job than the Republicans
care to admit, and though number have
been named in connection with the kspub-
lican nomination, not one whose success
would be likely, has signi6ed willingness
to make the race. Hon. Carter Harrison
will give the Republican nominee lively
tussle.

1t was stated during the recent canvass
that, if Hancock should be elected. the
solid south would dominate; Shat there
would likely be another war and many
other equally absurd propositions. The
election is over, Hancock is not elected
and now that lying will not avail, the
actual figures show that Hancock's vote in
the north was 2.849, 587, while in the south
the vote was l .5S6. 427, or 8 total OF
1858, 100 more votes in the north nearly
two to one in the north than in the south
The idea of nearly 5000. 900 persons IN the
north being controlled by little over half
that number in the south is absurd on its
face, and yet the Republicans in the mex
campaign will continue the same story.

tariff would be beaten badly in the ives
