My wife has been laboring under chronic affes-
tions including eatarrh, for IS years and has been
treated for the most of that time, without
terial benefit until she applied at the Office of Mrs
Dr. Keck. in Peoria, last fall. She had not then
spoken a loud word for nearly five months lost her
voice while under other treatment: was threatened
with paralysis entire left side being very weak and
nnmb; nervous system was completely shattered: ::
her lungs in serious condition and her health fail
ing rapidly. Her hands and feet were always cold
showing very poor circulation and condition Of the
blood
About Oct. /, 1881, she applied at the Office Of Mrs.
DR. Kecl for advice and treatment which continued
faithfully at home until December She made
several visits TO Mrs Kecks Office In Peoria, ia the
meantime, to obtain necessary directions and medi-
cines, and improved very much. Her voice was still
gone, however, and still doubling. l took my wife
TO several physicians Of eminencP for examination
and opinion. They agreed with Mrs. Keck as TO
what the trouble was. Some CT them said there is
very little hope; others said there none for re-
covery.
So Mrs Watson went with Mrs. Keck and remain
ed at her inhEmary five weeks In two weeks her
voice restored to its original strength and tone
met her IN Peoria on her return home, Jan. 25th
and heard her speak loud for the first time in eight
monthsi her health Is very much better IN every
way 1t has paid us well TO follow Mrs. Keckss ad-
vice, although we had very little hopes first. II
any one doubts the above they may correspond with
me at GIasford, I'LL

ARMY BILL.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-In the case oil
discussion in the senate this afternoon, the
question OF printing the report of the Sec
retary of war showing how 50 much money
was used for travelling and similar pur.
poses in the army, Senator Plum said this
thing of ordering army officers from one
place to another that they might visit their
families or sweehearts, had become an out
rage and should be stopped. He said it
was very nice for an officer to have an or
der to visit place he wanted to visit be-
cause that order provided for all his ex-
penses. There was no necessity for so
many officers here in Washington He
thought when the department exceeded the
amount allowed by Congress for such ex-
penses. it ought to be a subject of Con
gressional investigation.
IRIsH-AMERIcANs.
The Washington state department fur
nishes letter from Earl Granville to Min
lister West, concerning the imprisonment
of American citizent in Ireland, in which
he details at considerable length, the view
taken by the English government on the
subject, and heretofore published, to the
effect that Observation-Disclosures in Ireland
must submit like other Irishmen to the
laws. He quotes at some length from Sew
ards dispatches during the rebellion, to
show that the position taken by the British
government now is the same as that held
by the United States government in 1850

Gen. Hazen. chief officer, has addressed

would most respectfully ask all proper
and efficient means be taken to re-arrest
Capt Howgate and bring him to trial. 1t
seems so well nigh impossible to bring
criminals in high places to answer square
ly like other citizens for crimes, that this
is proper occasion for putting in effect all
the power of the government to e-arrest
this man and bring him to trial

Women who love their husbands
are happy and at rest. Those who
do not are disturbed and restless
they are always seeking for some
means of killing time they are ready
to f1irt at any moment; their children
are, according to their means, either
hidden in nurseries under the care
of French bOnnes or handed over to
Sally, the slatternly nurse, to shake
and slap, and stuff with sugar, as her
wisdom dictates, while society and
amusement of all sorts occupied
their mothers time. Home is not
happy to the poor woman, because
she has chosen her mate foolishly-
because she trusted to that glove az
ter marriage" which mercenary old
people promise those who make what
they call sensible match. Sad az
a neglected wife, who loves her hus-
band well must be, l believe she is
happier than this poor restless crea-
ture though she be worshiped. The
love of one we do not love becom Is
simply a bore, especially IN the close
intercourse Of home life, and she
who does not give her heart to her
husband is not likely to care much,
for his children. So, girls, if you do.
not love your lover, don't marry him.
