SPRINGFIELD, ROBERTSON Co., TENN.S
November "a, 1880.
DR.. j.. .Bradfield-Sir: My daughter
has been suffering for many years with
that dreadful affliction known as Fe-
male Disease, which has cost me many
dollars, and Notwithstanding 1 had the
best medical attendance, could not find
relief. l have used many other kinds of
medicine without effect. l had just
about given her up, was out of heart,
but happened in the store of w. w.
Ecker several weeks since, and he,
knowing of my daughters affiiction, per-
suaded me to try bottle of your Fe-
male Regulator. She began to improve
at once. was so delighted with its eff
feet that bought several more bottles.
The price, 81 80 bottle, seemed to
be very high at first, but now think it
the cheapest preparation on the globe,
and knowing what'I do about it, if to-
day one Of my family was suffering
with that awful disease would have It
il it cost $50 bottle, for can truthful
ly say it has cured my daughter sound.
and we'll, and myself and wife do most
heartily recommend your Female Reg
ulator toI be just what IL is recommend
ed to be. Respectfully,

The premium pulpit idiot preach
es i'll Philadelphia. He set forth
that the Savior was crucified on
Friday, and that zone Of the collat
eral evidences of this is that since
that time executions have been sue
cessively performed on that day."
"When," continues he, "the Cover
nor Of this commonwealth for some
reason chooses to change this order
of things, and appoints executions
on Thursday, do we not see that he
breakslthe continuity of historic ev-
idence and weakens so far the glory
of our redemption by Christ's
death?" According to this persons
reasoning, Christ might be sup
poBed to have deserved death. II
days of execution bear any relation
to each other, no criminal should
ever be put to death on the
day that Christ died. Such an ex-
ception would be just as good "col-
lateral evidence" as that which this
Philadelphia would cling to.

Hope for COnsumptives at Last.

hOpo AOE OOHSuuApOAVcSa L LaSC.
From official record, we learn that
over sixty thousand persons die annu-
ally in the United States from pulmo-
nary consumption. In each of these
cases there was first or incipient stage
of the disease, when all the life forces
and organic structures were yet unim-
paired by his entertainments. If at
this time an agent had been found which
could give to the system a higher de-
gree ofvitality, and so enable it to resist
the deadly assault, this perilous crisis
would have been safely passed. And
not this one only. In every subsequent
assault of the enemy, especially where
there existed some hereditary faint, a
prompt resort to the same re-vitalizing
agent would have given like relief and
immunity. Now, it is confidently
claimed, and the claim is substantiated
by the results of over twelve years. ex-
perience of its use, that just such an
agent has been discovered in Compound
Oxygen, the use of which is rapidly ex-
tending. If you wish to learn all abont
this new treatment, address Drs. Starkey
& Palen, Philadelphia, Pa, and they
will promptly mail you their Treatise on
Compound Oxygen. dec23-tf.

The Interstate Commerce Bill.

Special to the COurler-J Oural.
WASHINGTON, Jan. cit was a
good day for Reagan and his inter-
State commerce bill. After the
army bill had been disposed of, the
Democrats not making any attempt
to provide restrictions against the
use of troops at the polls, a motion
to GO to the House calendar was
made and carried. Then motions
were successfully made and carried
to lay aside other bills and to take
up the interstate commerce bill.
Reagan had charge of the bill and
was prepared TO demand the preVi-
vious question, although Hender-
son, of Illinois, who is really re.
sponsible for the committees bill,
objected and wanted debate. Rea-
gan, however, insisted on the con-
sideration of his substitute under
the previous question, and after
some sparring, in which he intima-
ted that Robinson and some others
of those opposing him were acting
in the interest of the railroads, he
made a remarkably strong speech in
behalf of his proposition.
Stated briefly, his substitute pro-
vides against discrimination In
freight charges by railroads for
reason oflong or short hauls against
rebates, drawbacks or other advan-
tage combinations; by charges of
schedule carriage; breaking car
loads into less than carloads. or by
any other means, with intent to pre-
vent the carriage OF such property
from being continuous from the
place of shipment to its destination,
whether carried on one or several
railroads; and against pooling
freights. The bill provides for
printing and publishing schedules
Of rates of freight.
The penalties for violating the
provisions of the bill are the for
fixture of three times the damage to
the person damaged by such viola
ton, and a fine of not less than
$1,000, to be recovered by the Uni
ted States, one-half of the penalty
to go to the informer.
The details for procuring the
books and papers of q company to
be used as evidence are very explic-
it. The officers OF offending COM
panies are to be subject to a fine OF
not less than 81, 200.
The act for which this is offered
as a substitute provides for a COM
mission of three to exercise q su-
pervision over that portion OF the
business of all railroads passing
from one State or territory to an
other. This board is to investigate
charges of determinations approved
or forwarded by any incorporated
board of trade or commerce. No
tice in writing of the violations and
of the boards disapprovsl is to be
given by the Commissioners to the
railroad ia default, and if no notice
is taken OF this, the fact is to be
mentioned in the Commissioners
annual report. Provision is made
for reasonable freight rates and
against combinations TO break car
loads, and against rebates, draw
backs or other advantages of that
kind. The subject of pooling is to
be inquired into. A violation of the
act is to be punished by q recovery
of triple damages and by fine Of
not less than 81 900, to be recov-
cred on Information by the Com
mission. Mr.. Reagan evidently IN
tends to push his bill and get vote
on il.

THE THRoUeH RAILRoAD-The struggle
in the Delaware Legislature, at Dover, over
the bill amending the charter of the Della.
ware Western Railroad, still continues. The
bill has already passed the Senate, but it is
strongly opposed in the House, and the i'm
preston seems to be that IL will not pass the
last-named body without considerable
amendment The Wilmington Ece,y Fee
ming and Nescs are both strongly in favor OF
the bill They declare their belief that an
other through railroad between Baltimore
and Philadelphia will be made, and if the
short-sightedness of the Legislature of Della
ware should prevent its passage through that
State, it will pass around it, and the State be
deprived of the advantages growing out OF
increased railroad facilities. 1t is taken for
granted that the movement for the charter is
being pressed in the interest of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, and if the charter should
be granted, it is probable that work would
be commenced at once all along the line 1t
would not be necessary for the Baltimore
and Ohio road to wait for a charter from the
Maryland Legislature They could proceed
with the work under the general incorpora.
ton laws of this State.
