mittee on Commerce provides for the estab
 Iishment of board of commissioners of inter
 state commerce as bureau of the Interior
 department. The bill clothes the commis
 sioners with power to summon wit
 nesses, to administer oaths, and
 to take such testimony as will
 enable it to arrive at the exact truth in every transaction under investigation. Upon the important bearing of the proposed legisla- ton the report says: The interests to be af- fected by this proposed legislation are enor- nous. We find that the railroad system alone comprises a mileage of about one hun dred thousand miles, that it covers an invest ment of $4, GOO, ,0OO, 900. that in 1880 it car ried 250, ,O00,O 900 tons of freight, besides pas sengers, mails, baggage and express goods, and that it gave employment (according to the census of 188O) to 40, 255 persons This system is interlocked with every business in- terest in the country and permeates almos' every portion of the Union; is an important factor in conducting foreign commerce, and its different parts are so interwoven that the system cannot be materially interfered with or impaired in one part of the country with out its being affected, and often in a serious degree, at the most distant parts. The bill herewith reported contemplates the accumu- lation of information drawn from actual transactions and from complaints that are made and brought before the commission for investigation, and the codifcation of such information from day to day under the scru- tiny of the public eye, all of which shall be annually reported, through the Secretary of the Interior, to Congress with such recom- mendations as in the judgment of the con- mission will aid in the solution of this great and important problem, to the end that Con- gress may be enabled to enact just and intel ligent laws upon the subject for the benefit of the shipping interests of the country and for the securing of harmony of action upon a plane of fair and just dealing to the railroad lines throughout the land.

The blood is the foundation of life, it circulates through every part of the body, and unless it is pure and rich, good health is impossible. If disease has entered the system the O1zLy sure and quick way to drive it out is to purify and enrich the blood.
 These simple facts are well known, and the highest medical authorities agree that n0tAing but iron will restore the blood to its natural condition; and also that all the iron preparations hitherto made blacken the teeth, cause head ache, and are otherwise injurious.
 BROWN's IRON BITTERs will thor oughly and quickly assimilate with the blood, purifying and strengthen ing it, and thus drive disease from any part of the system, and it will H0f blacken the teeth, cause head ache or constipation, and is posi- lively n0t injurious.

 Gents Upon the recommenda- ton of friend I tried BRowN's IRON BITTERs as a tonic and re- storative for my daughter, whom I was thoroughly convinced was wasting away with Consumption. Having lost three daughters by the terrible disease, under the care of eminent physicians, I was 10th to believe that anything could arrest the progress of the disease, but, to my great surprise, before my daugh- ter had taken one bottle of BROWNS IRON BITTERs, she began to mend and now is quite restored to former health. A fifth daughter began to show signs of Consumption, and when the physician was consulted he quickly said "Tonics were re- quired ;'' and when informed that the elder sister was taking BRowN's IRON BIrTERs, responded "that is good tonic, take it.

The statistics of the colony of Victoria, in Australia, prepared by Mir. Hayter, the gov ernment statistician, show how completely the business of gold digging has subsided into a regular pursuit, offering what in the colo nies must be considered very humble remu- neration. The value of the gold obtained in 1880 per miner was trife under $41O rep resenting only about twenty ounces. The number of men who are content to follow this branch of industry amountf to 3S, 56e, which though much less than the 63 787 who were at work in 1869, is still a large number in a population of only about 500, 900.

The sale of Il, ,OOO, 900 acres of land by the Canadian Pacific railroad to company of capitalists does not meet with universal ap- proval in Canada. Thus the Toronto Globe says ''The fact remains that 5000, GOO acres, which should have been open to the settler at $1 per acre, have been handed over to monopoly which is not bound to sell them at all, and will certainly hold them at 5 or 10 times the original government valua tion. And whether they are sold or leased or farmed by the syndicate, the money com ing from the settlers and to be paid by yet unborn generations of their descendants in one shape or other, will be sent, for the most part, to proprietors in England. This is ter ritorial aggrandizement in it's worst form of absenteeism, draining the money from the country to be spent abroad to contribute to the luxury and pamper the pride of those who have done absolutely nothing to entifle them to levy taxes on Canadian industry"

A GENEROUS ACT
That VIII Be Appreciated by All Who
Care for Their Complexion
and Skin.

IF il not generally known thatythe nervous
but this is a fact known to medical men who
have given much of their time to the study OF
diseases of the skin. No one can have clear
and fair complexion unmixed with blotches OF
plmples who is very nervous.
Whatever tends to a healthful condition OF the
nervous system always beauties the complexion
and removes roughness and dryness of the skin
Some skin diseases are noi attendcd by visible
sgus on the surface, but al intolerable Itching
that renders life miserable al.s.aza.
We copy the following deserving and interest
ing compliment from TIE Tribune, which says {:
"Dr, c. W. Benson's New Remedy, Skin CURE,
is received by the public with great confidence
and 1t is regarded as a very generous act on the
Doctors part to make known and prepare LOT
general use his valuable and fayorite prescrip-
tion for the treatment of skin diseases, after
having devoted almost his entire life to the
study and treatment OF nervous and skin dis
eases, in which he took great delight. lie was,
ia, a number of years, Physician Ia charge OF
the MARYLAND Inirmary on Dermatology and
ANYTHING from his hands is at once accepted as
authority and valuable. The remedy is fully he
article to attack the disease both lnte nally,
through the blood, and externally, through The
abSorbs nts and is the only reliable and rational
mode of treagment. These prepa auohs are on!

GENTs-Whoever you are, I don't know;
but I thank the Lord and feel grateful to
you to know that in this world of adulterated
medicines there is one compound that
proves and does all it advertises to do, and
more. -Four years ago had slight shock
of palsy, which unnerved me to such an ex-
tent that the least excitement would make
me shake like the ague. Last May 1 was
induced to try Hop Bitters. l used one
bottle, but did not see any change another
did SO change my nerves that they are now
as steady as they ever were. 1t used to
take both hands to write, but now my good
right hand writes this Now, if you con-
tinue to manufacture as honest and good an
article as you do, you will accumulate an
honest fortune, and confer the greatest
blessing on your fellow-men that was ever
conferred on mankind. TIM BURoH.
