GENERAL SHERMAN, in his annual report to Con-
gress on the Army, will renew his urgent appeal for
more men. In his opinion, the enlisted force is ut
terly inadequate to the duties imposed upon It, Gen-
era Sherman has frequently said this, and yet Con-
gress has paid no attention to his appeal. His opn-
ions on the question deserve serious consideration
-EGchange.
Congress has been asked time and
again for an increase of the standing
army, by Gen. Sherman, and "serious
consideration" has been paid his re-.
quest by Congress, and the conclusion
arrived at by that body is that the army
was sufficiently large. But as there
are thousands of Stalwarts sanding
out in the cold waiting for a crumb to
fall from the Republican table, the Re-
publican Congress will probably make
room for some of them by increasing
the standing army.

Stone n The Bladder Expelled by Using

pearance Of the disease the father advised the to
write to DIR. David Kennedy, OF ROundout, n. Y,
who, he said, would tell him what to do. DIR. Ken
nedy replied, suggesting the of "Kennedy's Fa-

in the fathers case. Mr.. Hicks, who had been as
sured by the local physicians they could do moth

ing the vexed question. The idea hith-

provision is made for imposing severe
punishment upon those who drink.
Persons guilty of drunkenness are to

Reputation.

N. I. sun
The Republican party having declared
itself in favor of the reputation Of the
State debt in Virginia, and having car.
ried the election upon that platform, it
becomes an interesting question how far
the same measure is to be applied in 9TH
er States.
Here in New York, for instance, the
State is considerably in debt. To repudi-
ate the whole would diminish the weight
of taxation to be born by every individu-
al taxpayer. Will the Republican par.
ty, fresh from their great triumph in
Virginia, now begin a movement for
reputation of the debt of N. Y? If there
is any good reason for the policy they
have adopted and fought for in that
State, the same reason is equally valid
and equally forcible in this.
Besides, if they are not quite satisfied
with their success upon the old issues.
who knows that they might not be sue
cessful if they we're to bring forward a
brand new one like the great issue OF
Reputation?
But is there any reason why such a
movement should be limited to any one
State? The Republican party control
the national Administration, and the
President of the United States has given
an earnest and an effective support to the
the Reputation movement in Virginia.
Why, then. should this potent principle
not be applied to the immense debt of
the national Government? Why should
not our two thousand millions of dollars
be wiped out entirely, or cut down by
the elimination of nine .tenths of its
whole amount, by vigorous application
of the Riddleberger and Malone scheme?

GU1TEAU is lunatic. The very
crime for which he stands arraigned
proves his insanity and proclaims it to

a crime as Guiteau is with yourself.
You cannot even imagine such posi-
bility, except by imagining the de-

The Pennsylvania company has or
dered that the word station shall be
substituted for depot, and many roads
are following this example. 1t is only
in the fitness of things, for
the universal use Of the word depot is
popular error which should be cor.
rected. A depot is more properly a
place of deposit for the safe keeping of
goods, or, in military tactics, a place
where provisions are kept and recruits
assembled and drilled. The use of the
word in application to railway stations
is blunder, and will probably come
into disfavor since the railway officials
have taken it In hand.

Ague Cure

Is a purely vegetable bitter and power
full tonic, and is warranted speedy and
certain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills
and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fe-
Yer, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all
malarial disorders. In miasmatic dis.
tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst,
lassitude, loss OF appetite, pain in the back
and loins, and GOODNESS of the spine and
severer symptoms, which terminate in the
ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever
and profuse perspiration.
1t is startling fact, that quinine, arse.
mic and other poisonous minerals, form the
basis Of most of the "Fever and Ague
Preparations" Specifics" "Syrups," and
"Tonics," in the market. The prepara-
tions made from these mineral poisons,
although they are palatable, and may
break the chill, do not cure, but leave the
malarial and their own drug poison in
the system. producing quinism, dizziness,
ringing, in the ears, headache, vertigo, and
disease they were intended to cure.
AYERS AGuE CURE thoroughly eradicates
these noxious poisons from the system,
and always cures the severest cases. It
contains no quinins, mineral, or any thing
that could injure the most delicate pa
tient; and its crowning excellence, above
its certainty to cure, is that 1t leaves the
system as free from disease as before the
attack.
For Livcr Complaints, AYERS AGuE
CURE, by direct action on the liver and
hillary apparatus, drives out the poisons
which produce these complaints, and stim-
ulates the system to vigorous, healthy
condition. ..,. ..'-'-. ...
