tee of the committee on appropriations,
heard Postmaster General Key, Assist
ant Postmaster General Brady and
Monroe Salisbury, western mail con-
tractor. on the subject of the star mail
service deficiency. Gems. Key and
Brady argued that the amount pro-

striction provisos should be stricken
out in order to maintain the mail SER
vice at the present standard, including
all increases in the number of trips,
and the expediting of the service or
dered during the last and current fiscal
years. The amount originally asked
for by the department was $4,000. .0o0,

additional service for the remainder of
the current fiscal year, which the de-
partment no longer contemplates.

The most astonishing cures of ner-
vous 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 cnly 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
the quantity for $40, sent to any adj
dress free from observation. All dis
eases of delicate or private nature
treated in the most scientific manner.
Charges reasonable. Office hours 10 to

A strange Accident.

From the Deadwcod Pioneer.
Robert Long. a butcher employed by
Frederick Gibson at the Forest City
slaughter house, was accidently shot
and dangerously wounded yesterday af-
ternoon. He was at work at dressing
block while Gibson was in the yard
shooting cattle. Two head were killed
when the third bullet, glancing from
the horn of a steer, passed through the
thick doors of the building, hitting
Long in the right side, and lodging in
the spinal column. The wounded man
was brought to this city and attended
by DR.. McKowe, WHO found the entire
lower portion of the body paralyzed and
the patient suffering from internal hem
orrhage. Although Long was alive last
evening, his condition was pronounced
critical in the extreme.

Elizabeth, n. J., Feb. 2s.-Thirty-
four indictments in the aggregate have
been found against comptroller of the
city treasury and clerk for conspiracy
to defraud the city. The indictments
chiefly charge the officers with having
bought bonds at market prices with
their own or city money and turning
them into the city at par and interest,
and dividing the profits. The other
counts are for paying unauthorized
claims to councilmen, to the national
bank note company. and others.

PEACE POLICY.
THE UTE PROBLEM.
Douglas Quartered ut Fort Leavon-
worth-The Other Two will
Tarry Mt Fort Monroe
No Campaign.

Washington, Feb. 2s.--Two of the
Utes who participated in the Meeker
massacre arrived here to-day, and it is
understood that they will be sent i'm
mediately to Fortress Monroe.
Douglas the only other one Of the
culprits thus far surrendered is held as
prisoner at Fort Leavenworth. Cur
rent rumor, not yet verified, however,
asserts that no punishment will be in
flicted on these murderers, except i'm
prisonment, because, as it is agreed,
their crime was committed on an In
dian reservation, outside of the juris-
diction of the Colorado courts or of any
United States tribunal.
There are, nevertheless, precedents
for trying and condemning to death
the murderers by military courts, and
although the Washington authorities are
reticent as to their intention in regard
to these culprits, it does not seem pos
sible that they will be allowed to es-
cape the proper punishment.
1t is stated on good authority, how
ever, that in consequence of the sur
render of these three Utes, word has
been sent to the commanding officers in
Colorado and New Mexico that they
need not continue their arrangements
for an Indian war in the spring, it be-
ing considered certain that the Ute
question will be settled satisfactorily
within the next month or two by firm
but peaceful negotiations.

COMPULSORY RETIREMENT.
In the March number of the United
lSerrice Magazine, among many interest
ing articles on military subjects, ap-
pears one from the pen of "Bob'-
Major General Upton, U. S. A.-on
compulsory retirement in the army.
1t is an array of interesting historical
facts, and unanswerable reasons in
favor of retirement after forty-five years
service, or 62 years of age, of officers,
and has in view the object of substitut-
ing law for the present one, making
it obligatory on the part of the presi-
dent to retire officers who have reached
62 years of age, or have been 45 years
in the arms. If only congressman
would give the subject that attention
and consideration which it requires, a
material benefit would accrue to the
service, and thereby to the country.

Army Register of 1879 may be of inter-

In South Africa the curious pheno-
menon is observed of river-the Zoo
ga-which flows at one time to the east
and at another to the west. This ex-
planation is given by an eminent travel
er and explorer: When the shallow
Lake Ngama is filled up by the streams
falling into it from the west, its waters
pass through the Zooga to the salt lakes
on the east, but when these steams do
not pour in such an amount of water
the level of the lake becomes very low,
and the Zooga, often largely increased
in volume from the overfiowing salt
lakes, sends its waters into Lake Nga-

An alarm is sounded that fever and ague and other forms of malaria1 disease are marching steadily up the valleys of eastern New York and New England; and that these distressing complaints are becoming every year more prevalent among large populations, hitherto unacquainted with them. Whatever form the malady may assume, the origin is the same. It is an infection from decayed and decaying vegetation, arising from swemps and marshy places, or from soil disturbed by cultivation. Where these complaints are not known, they are difficult to treat and the apprehension of danger makes every body uneasy.
 In the South and West, where fever and ague is common every season and has been since the settlement of the country, Ayers Ague Cure is regarded as an infallible reme- dy. A faithful trial will convince sufferers that it is equally certain here and positively harmless. Patients and physicians agree that it never fails, and that the cured recover their usual spirits and resume their regular pursuits in the briefest possible time No bad effects follow it's use, and, when taken according to directions, the proprietors war 1 rant it. If taken occasionally by persons ex- posed to malaria, it will expel the poison, and protect them from attack
 Ayer's Ague Cure is a purely vegetable preparation, containing neither quinine, ar
 senic nor other mineral or injurious sub | stance. In chill sections, where it has beer
 known and used for the past quarter of z
 century, it is very popular; for people have
 found it what they want-a remedy easily procured and always sure.

CoUGHs.-Brown's Bronchial Troehes are used with advantage to alleviate coughs, sore throat, hoarseness and bronchial affections For thirty years these troches have been in use, with annually increasing favor. They are not new and untried, but having been tested by wide and constant use by nearly an entire generation, they have attained we'll merited rank among the few stable remedies of the age.
 THE THRoAT.-Brown's Bronchial Troches act directly on the organs of the voice. They have an extraordinary effect in all disorders of the throat and larynx, restoring healthy tone when relaxed, either from cold or over exertion of the voice, and produce clear and distinct enunciation. Speakers and singers l find the troches useful.
