A TIMELY WARNING, OR THE EXPERIENCE

Ii you suffer from general debility,
brought on by too close application to bust
ness and excessive brain work; or from in
creasing prostration and sinking spells, that
even a rest or removal of the cause will not
relieve, make haste to do as did reverend
friend Of ours. He secured from his drug
gist a bottle OF Browns Iron Bitters, hay
ing heard of It's merit from a physician,
who told him not to take any other Bitters
or Tonic, for with the exception OF Browns
Iron Bitters, they all contained alcohol,
and have failed to give his patients lasting
relief: nor should he take any other prepa-
ration of Iron, for with the exception of
Browns Iron Bitters, they all blackened
the teeth, and often gave headache, which
Browns Iron Bitter's never did, but in fact
cured headache. The effect was most salts
factory; he Immediately realized most Won
derfui results. His old energy returned,
his natural forces came back, and he felt
himself altogether a new man, full OF
health, strength and vigor, and he has con-
tinued to remain so ever since. Now he
recommends Browns Iron Bitters to all
his friends which we unhesitatingly do to
all our readers. septS-lt.

An Austrian journal reports the curious
fact that four "Titans of the German
stage have lately become insane. The
calamity was due in two cases to overwork
impelled by monetary cupidity. Herr Ma
teus of Vienna, whose wonderful memory
was the amazement of theatre-goers, has
suddenly become incapable of remembering
twenty consecutive words. Bogumil Daw-
ison, who played here OthelEo to Edwin
Booths IagO at the Winter Garden, exhib-
tied the opposite symptoms. His violence
in tragic parts increased, and one night
while playing Ot2telko he accused the Des-
demona of the evening Of having spoiled
by her conduct a pose which he had con-
templated He rushed on her with a
drawn sword behind the scenes, exclaim1ng
II win really kill you, for know you
have done it purposely." The lady, Marie
Berg, who is member of the famous Mel
ningen Company in London, was rescued
by the actors just as the Infatuated actor
had grasped her by the hair. The tenor
Alois Ander seemssto have destroyed his
intellect by the extraordinary means he
took to save his voice. One night during
the 'Prophete' he became voiceless.

ut is a rather startling assertion that
vice pays the debts of the world; yet it is
about the truth. Vice pays the revenues
of all civilized countries, while virtue is
leaning back and enjoying herself. When
a nation goes to war and incurs big debt,
she Immediately saddles the burden upon
the vices of her people, in the way of
taxing liquor, tobacco and opium. And
the consumers of these evil things pay the
national debt, while the virtues have moth
ing to do but to keep on being good. This
is a powerful inducement for all men of
sense who are devotees of vice, to stop
short and never go on again. The recent

The river convention has ELECTED a good
story from one of the railway managers
Of St, Louis, about the advice he once
gave respecting the improvement of the
Fox and Wisconsin rivers. The railway
man suggested that the best plan would be
to lath and plaster their beds, and it is a
sober fact that it would have cost less
money to do that than to do what has
actually been done. The government has
expended millions on these so-called rivers
trying to make them navigable, Ind it
would not have cost any more to put in a
lath and-plaster bed.

.GOFFTCIAL PAPER.l
Wednesday, November 2. 1881.

President Arthur was good and kind
enough to ask MacVeagh to retain his pc
sition as attorney general until the end of
the star route Investigations, implying that
then he would kick him out. Strange to
say MacVeagh did not appreciate the entire
beauty of this arrangement, preferring to
be either cabinet officer or else not; fail
ing to care to be merely one on probation.
Hence stalwarts and stalwart organs are
very bitter against him, trying to make the
point that he abandoned his office because
he was afraid of falling in the prosecution.
Their object being to create a public opin-
ion that the star route thieves cannot be
convicted, thus preparing the people for
the abandonment Of the cases. Stalwart
James thus spoke in recent interview:
II understand that President Arthur
thinks it mean in MacVeagh to leave him
while these star-route cases are pending?"
"WeH," said Mr. james, 'if President
Arthur thinks it mean toward him, has it
occurred to you that it was mean toward
me? Where am l left?"
Il think it was shabby treatment of
you"
Il should say it was"
why did MacVeagh take charge of
those cases, anyway? 1 am told by Will
am E. Chandler and others that it was the
district attorneys business to prosecute
those cases"
''Wen, that part was all right. There is
no reason to complain on that point
''Why?"
Il viii tell you. l found extravaganza
in the star route service, and I told Mac
Veagh about it. The more we looked into
it the more our suspicious were aroused
against Brady, Dorsey and others, Brady
is a very shrewd and a very able man. I
have nothing against him personally, but
had to do my duty"
F'Well?"
'MacVeagh and became rather startled
about it, and went to President Garfield
and stated the case to him. He told us to
go on with it. l told him he did not know
where it would strike; that it would hit
