HIS DISCOVERY

prove in the case of many we'll
known men, that it began also to be
used by ladies, and to-day, thous-
'ands of women, in all parts of the
land, owe their restored health and
continued happiness to the wonder
full power of Warmers Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure. Mr.. Warner has
the written testimony of hundreds
of the best ladies in the land, enthu-
siastically praising the remedy, and
thankfully expressing their graft
tude for health. These. letters are
sacred, and cannot be given to the
public, but they overwhelmingly
verify all the facts above stated.
Nature has given woman delicate,
watchful, alert instinct and she has
found this remedy TO be what her
sex for years has needed, to restore
and maintain the perfection of ma
ture. She resents the imputation
that she is bound to suffer all the
ills that attack her. She recognizes
taht suffering is but an incident of
her existence, and that this incident
is wholly within her control, if she
can find the necessary helps which
nature provides. The changeable
character of our climate, the often
times eXacting and enervating GUS
toms of society, of fashion and of
necessity, all cOnspire to impair the
vitality of women. If we add to
these the exhausting duties of
motherhood, and the mental ankle
ty for the success of her husband i'm
all his laudable ambitions, which
play upon her energies, it is surpris-
ing that thus burdened she should
break down under the physical
strain? By no means-on the con-
trary the wonder is that she has
maintained her physical strength
as she has.
| have not the time to elaborate
this point: You yourselves very
well know what the circumstances
are which have rendered her life a
burden. You also know that the
PRIMARY CAUSE
of physical degeneration is impure
blood. The performance Of the nat
uFal functions of womanhood and
motherhood is not a disease, nor
should it be so treated. Disease is
the result of the transgressions of

1t is positively comfort, in its way, to read
MIR. Carlyle's ferocious judgments of men we
know to have been kind, humorous and wise
Ii he maligns them, the world, too, may be
less black than he paints it. He runs amuck
friends and Indifferent people with his swash-
ing blow, or kicks them out with word of
contemptuous praise. About some of the
kindest and most blameless people, still sur
viving, Mr.. Carlyle wrote, in his moody old
age, words which we are sure he never meant
to be published. Charles Lamb is the greatest
sufferer Mill fares but badly, Coleridge is
still worse and De Quincey's unkind review
of Schiller is amply avenged by this blow of
the dead hand. "He was pretty little Great
ure full of wire drawn ingenuities, bankrupt
enthusiasms, bankrupt pride, with the finest
silver-toned low voice, and most elaborate
gentle-winding courtesies and ingenui;ies in
conversation" All these men, Coleridge,
Lamb, DeQuincey, were more heavily handi-
capped by health and constitution than Mr.
Carlyle himself and they had not his strength
to bear the burden. He judged men hardly
and the world harshly neither they nor it de-
serve his petulant contempt, nor need we
take to shrieking and lamenting because Mr..
Gladstone is not Ireton, "nor inspired young
Goschen," Cromwell The constitution of
things is averse to the secular triumph of Pu-
rtanism, other ways OF conceiving of life must
have their innings, and whatever the piece
that IS mounted on the worlds boards, it is
not so bad as to deserve the ceaSeless boots and
catcalls of Mr.. CARLYLE

The Old Gentleman and the Bar
Maid


Maid.
An old gentleman of rank very indiscreetly
stopped to chat with pretty girl behind
counter. Bar-maids are often silly set, and
do not care to talk with old gentlemen. They
reserve their conversation for young men, who
are the horror of bar proprietors, who will spend
few coppers in beer, and consume whole hours
of time The girl had the sense to recognize
sensible man, aud she had some rational talk
with him. When he got home he discovered
that he had lost his purse, containing con-
siderable sum in notes and gold. He was en-
tirely unable to recolect where he had lost
the purse. But going some days after to the
refreshment countBr the young lady handed
him back the money, saying that she had been
anxlously looking out for an opportunity of
restoring it. The old gentleman was Bar
onet of good estate, and became so captiyated
with the young person that he proposed to her,
and was accepted and, after an interval Of
time to allow her to see something of the
world aud Of good society, they were happily
married. The other case is still moro extraor-

INQUIRIES among Senators by Washing
ton Star reporter as to their opinions of the
letter of Senator Davis of Illinois on the DO
litical situation revealed the fact that COM
paratively few of them had read it. Those
who had, both Republicans and Democrats,
held that it was ridiculous to talk of dis
banding the existing parties, Democrats be-
lieving that their party is yet to come ''into
its inheritance and Republicans believing
that the prosperity of the country depends
upon the continuance of their organization
The only criticism upon it was that the let
ter was just what might have been expected
from an independent, and especially the
most prominent independent of the land
who, if new party could be formed out of
the old ones, would very probably be the
Presidential candidate of the new party.

The Secretary and the Maturing
Debt.
The Democrats are vainly trying to find
some reasonable fault with Secretary Win
dom for his method of dealing with the ma
turing skies. They acknowledge that his
plan is ingenious, that it results in very
considerable saving of interest, and that it
does no injustice to either debtor or creditor.
But one complaint is left to them. They
say he has no authority in law for his do
ings.
Why not? By an act of Congress approved
March 8, 1865, the Secretary of the Treasury
was authorized to issue bonds or treasury
notes I'm such form as he mag preScribe''
to be made payable sat any period not more
than 40 years from date of ISSUE" and 'snot
toexceed 6 per cent. interest" The amount of
bonds authorized by this act was fixed at
S60o,OO0,OOO. The concluding paragraph of
the first section of this act read as follows:
And any treasury note or other obligations
bearing interest, issued under an act of Con-
gress, may, at the discretion of the Secretary
OF the Treasury, and with the consent of the
holder, be converted into any description of
bonds authorized by this act; and no bonds
so authorized shall be considered part of
the 5000, ZOO. 900 heretofore authorized"
That act has never been repealed 1t has
only been limited by an additional act pro-
viding that it shall not be used to increase
the public debt. 1t is not used for that
purpose by Secretary Window. He is
moving according to law as well as wisdom
and righteousness.

lon jug was brought to light to the handle of
which was attached mouldy card bearing the
following inscription: "The Hon. Howell
Cobb, Secretary of the Treasury, with the COM
pliments of Lewis Wigfall" Upon removing
the dirt-encrusted cork it was found that there
still fingered within q drop or two of "Old
Hermitage Bourbon" whose fragrant bouquet,
like the long.buried Falernian exhumed in
Pompeiian excavations, perfumed the air and
bewildered the senses of the finders of the pre-
cious relic. What flood of memories this an
cient amphora recalled of the days when "Old
Buck" occupied the White House, and the
warm Southern blood gave tropical impetus
to the society of the capital.
