lAn Appeal from Mason's Wife.


WASHINGTON, March 81. = The
wife of Sergent Mason, writing to a
friend in this city from Locust
Grove, Orange county, Va, appeals
for aid for herself and her distressed
family, and pleads for the interven-
ton of her friends with President
Arthur in her husbands behalf.
For eighteen years, she says, her
husband has been a brave soldier,
never having been in the guard
house before, and carries honorable
wounds. She thinks he has been
punished enough by the six months
imprisonment he has endured, and
closes with the hope thath may be
restored to his family.

WASHINGTON. Mar. 25.-It is un-
derst,od that President Arthur, in
selecting five Commissioners for
Utah Territory, will nominate only
lawyers, believing good lawyers will
be required to properly reorganize
the Territorial government. 1t is
stated several leading citizens of Utah
have already been recommended to
the President, but it is not likely
any one from Utah, Mormon or Gen.
tile will be appointed. Further,
it is reported the President has in
tim ated that he will not appoint
any one who applies directly or in
directly for the position of Commits
sioner.

At recent quarterly meeting OF
1.-THE B. 4 o. Relief Association, held
ct Relay Station, the Secretary sub
mitted a report which shows its af-
| fairs to be il q most flourishing con-
dition. This organization Is quietly
but effectively performing most
valuable service. not only smong the
employees by protecting them from
want. bur 20 the company itself and
is constantly developing new meth
ods of usefulness. Although only
started in May, 1880, the report re-
ferred to showed the issue of 22,150
insurance policies, and on December
81. 1881, an actual membership Of
1906 persons also the payment OF
5.557 claims for sick benefits, aggre-
eating S74,769.56; of benefits on ac-
count of disablement from accidents,
aggregation sS3.O47. 81, and of 12S
death policies aggregation s30,420.
81. These sums, with the payment
of 1, 1853 physicians bills, amounting
to S11,27S.4S, made total expendi-
ture of 500, ,816.22 disbursed tor the
relief of members on lines extending
from Baltimore to Pittsburg, Cincin-
natl, Columbus, Sandusky and Chi
cago. The association, through its
corps of medical inspectors, not only
superintends the hygienic and sani-
tary welfare of its members, but is
also charged with a close supervision
over the sanitary condition of the
company's shops, stations, coaches,
grounds, buildings, waters, DC, to
the manifest advantage of its service.
The measure adapted by the associa-
tion last fall to guard employees OF
the company from effects OF malarial
which was unusual prevailant every
where, and said to have been very ef-
fective in neutralizing its effects.
Pursuing the same policy immedi-
ately upon the discovery that small
pox was becoming epidemic in the
United States, the society undertook
the gratuitous vaccination of all its
members, and in special cases of
their families. Reports already show
that the medical inspectors have
vacclnated $40 persons also that
of the total number vaccinated fully
so per cent. of the operations were
successful. In other words, out of D,
10 persons, over 1000 were found
to be exposed to the full effects of
smallpox, which had been declared
by the National Board of Health to
be epidemic through the country.
The employees referred to are not
resident in any circumscribed locali-
ty, through probably half are resi-
dents in Maryland. The statistics.
therefore, furnished a sad commen-
tary upon the danger to which our
entire population is exposed through
lack of proper precautionary mea-
sures. If other benevolent societies
and corporations would recognize the
fact that prevention is of far greater
value than the cure of disease, and
would follow the worthy example
of the B. E 0. Association, they
would not only be acting humanelv,
but would also in many instances
save their own funds from heavy de-
pletion.-Bditimore american.

Rural Notes.

Mr.. Henry Quimby, of the West
ern New York Farmers Club. thinks
that a hundred acre farm would
produce more with one-fifth of it
judiciously planted to timber than
if the whole surface were kept under
the plough.
A New Jersey farmer reports that
a dressing of eight bushels per acre
of salt to land badly infested with
white grubs enabled him to raise
good crops of corn for three years
past, which was impossible previous
to this application.
In an Illinois COW that could not
be satisfactorily fattened, and was
consequently sold at a sacrifice, was
found, '-at the small entrance of the
stomach, atwelve-ounce ball of "wire,
nails and phlegm," the result of hav-
ing eaten threshed wheat straw, the
sheaves of which were bound with
wire.
At recent meeting of the War
saw. Illinois, Horticultural Society
DR.. Rulph referred to the exhaust
i've effect of the seed forming pro-
cess upon plants, and expressed his
belief that it is not yet generally
known that roses, verbenas, etc.,
bloom much longer and more pro-
fusely if the flowers are plucked as
soon as the mature.
The Hon. George Geedes men,
toned at a recent meeting of the
Onondago Farmers Club that one
of his fields to which no barnyard
manure had been applied for seven
ty years and which formerly had a
bad reputation is kept so fertile by
clover and plaster that the late John
Stanton Gould once spoke ofits crop
of timothy as the largest he eyer
saw.

BY Universal Accord,

AYERS CATuARTIc Pills are the best
Of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical Investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
lions, proves them the best and most
effectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
md curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, viii
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
effectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tons, where q mild but effectual
cathartic is required.
