Gents Upon the recommended
tion Of friendsI tried BRowN's
IRON BirTRRs as a tonic and re-
storative for my daughter, whom
/ was thoroughly convinced was
wasting away with Consumption.
Having lost three daughters by the
terrible disease, under the care Of
eminent physicians, 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 BRowN's
IRON BrTTERs, 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
a good tonic, take it.

TRUTHS

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 onH 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 nothing but
iron viii restore the blood 10 its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns 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
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.

1.-THE first annual encampment of

been other annual encampments of the

The change has been watched and the

only by soldiers, but by all the citizens
of the Keystone State. There can be
but one opinion. The change is a
success. This camp has demonstrated
the fact that the congregation of the
different regiments with other troops
created spirit of rivalry that pushes
the men and officers to greater efforts
at perfection in both drill and appear

SOUR WILD INDIANS.o
By Col. r. 1. DODGE.
Introduction by
GENERAL SHERMAN.


No white man is more widely known
among the Indians than Col. Dodge
who is always spoken of by them as
the big Chiet." His new work, "Oul
Wild Indians" on the title page ol
which Gen. Sherman's name also ap.
pears, was undertaken by him at the
urgent solicitation of many dis.
tinguished men. 1t was not, however,
until GEN. SHERMAN offered to
write an INTRODUCTION to the work
and to give the volume his official
sanction, that Col. Dodge consented to
undertake it. 1t is the first authentic
account of our wild Indians that has
been written for nearly forty years.
The author writes from the stand
point OF actual personal experience,
and it is interesting to note in this
connection the exceptional opportuni-
ties of observation he has enjoyed, as
will be seen from the following state
ment of facts Col. Dodge WIS gradu-
ated from West Point ia lS4S, and was
at once assigned to active duty on the
Texas frontier among the crafty and
cunning COmanches. From that time
until his last campaign against the
Utes, in 1880, period of Mrty-three
years. his life has been spent in direct
personal contact with the widest
Indians of the Far West" In this
third of century he has had inter-
course with thirty-four different tribes,
having fought his way foot by foot
through Indian lands over ground
never before trodden by the foot of a
white man. His position as q high
commanding officer in the U. S. army =,
and leader of many important expe-
ditions against the Indians, has given
him opportunities for study and OBJ
servation, such as no one in civil life
could command.
In this volume of $50 pages Col.
Dodge aims to give a truthful and
minute account of OUR WILD
INDIANS" of the present day; to
vlvidly describe their actions, habits,
customs, religion, manners, and
amusements as practiced by them now
in the uncivilized regions of their un-
invaded country; to give graphic ac-
counts of thrilling and exciting ad-
ventures among them; to narrate
daring exploits and hairbreadth es-
capes, not only from his own expert
ence, but from that of other white
men, and of Indians also; and to re-
cord desperate encounters, hand-to-
hand combats, sudden surprises, re-
markable defences, and heroic achieve

ments incident TO frontier life. In all
of this Col. Dodge has succeeded most
admirably, and he has produced in
comparably the most exhaustive and
Indians" ever written, and undeniably
one of the most thrilling and fascin-
ating books of personal daring and
romantic adventure ever published
His narrative is spiced with many
graphic account of famous Scouts and
Guides; of Trappers, Frontiersmen,
Squatters, Squaw-Men, Texas Cow
Boys, Miners, Gold Hunters, Border
Ruffians and Desperadoes, and their
adventures and wonderful achieve
ments are fascinating en-pictures of
life in our Indian country. "Truth is
stranger than felton," and most as
sentially so in this thrilling record
of Thirty-Three Years. Experience.
Gen. Sherman truthfully says in
his introduction :-"Yours is the first
attempt of which l have knowledge to
treat him Qhe Indian) as he exists in
fact. You have had the experience of
a third of century in absolute contact
with the various tribes of Indians from
the British line to Texas, New Mexico,
and Arizona, hunting with them in
peace and in war. 1t is by far the best
description extant of the habits, man
ners, customs, usages, ceremonies, ETC.,
of the American Indian as he now is.
You are hereby authorized to use my
name as authority for its publication
and circulation; and 1 invite all
persons to read this book carefully"
The book is both profusely and mag
nificently illustrated. Its list of steel
plates includes portraits of the author,
and of Gen. Crook, Gen. Miles, Gen.
Custer, Gen. Mckenzie, ETC., and
there are many superb full-page en-
cravings on wood. But the crowning
feature of the illustrations are the
magnificent full-page Chromo-Litho-
graph Plates. These are printed in
fifteen colors, from ninety engraved
stones, and represent weapons, orna-
ments, fac-smiles of Indian drawings,
and remarkable obj ects of interest and
curiosity too numerous to mention.
The Smithsonian Institute at Wash
ington is largely indebted to Col.
Dodge for its extensive collection of
Indian objects, collected by him in
the past thirty-three years.
After careful and critical examina-
ton of Col. Dodge's great work, we
can truthfully say that it combines in
an unusual degree great value and the
most thrilling interest; uniting both
with magnificent illustrations. 1t is
a rare treat to look at the latter. In
every respect it is a thoroughly first
class work, and as such we call the
special attention of our readers to it,
and we advise them to get ut the very
first opportunity. Once begun it will
not willingly be laid aside till the last
page is finished. 1t is sold at low
price, but is for sale only by subscrip-
tion through canvassing agents.

Mr. Hall has certainly reflected high
credit on the district he represents in

among the celebrated men of the State
such as few young men have ever oc-

The English wheat crop is pro-
nounced by the London Times, on the
whole. below the average. There are
counties In which it is above the
average of last year, and the elaborate
reports recently made to a Scotch
paper shows that many. if not all, the
food crops In Scotland have done well.
In Ireland all crops, and the potato
yield In particular, are failure.

The quinine firms In Philadelphia
made large fortunes by the old tax on
drugs. When their monopoly was
partly broken by the free quinine bill
of 1879, they threatened to shut up
their factories. They did not do so,
and although quinfne was reduced
from S3.40 to 81. 10 an ounce by foreign
competition, they continued their
business, apparently with profit. In
spite of the millions they have made
out OF their monopoly in the pas t,
three firms now demand restoration
of tax on quinine. The only reason
advanced il that the tax makes them
richer. They do not add that it makes
poorer all citizens who are suffering
with fever and ague.-N Y. Sun.

A Great Peach Crop.
New York Sun.


After all, this is to be great peach
year In the spring the prospects re-
garding the fruit were all evil. Only
small crop was predicted. Even at
the beginning of summer we were told
to expect little from the famous peach
growing region of Delaware and
Maryland. Better reports came i'm a
few weeks ago, but now, when the
time for the ripening Of peaches has
actually come, we are promised
the largest crop ever picked, the great
yield of 1876 alone accepted.
To-day" says the Philadelphia
Press, every peach tree on the long
stretch of land between the bay Of
Delaware and the Chesapeake, and ex.
tending from Washington to North
ampton County, Va, is bending un-
der an overload of luscious spheres
1t is estimated that that region will
yield the enormous quantity of five
million baskets of peaches. And the
qua lity OF this extraordinary crop is
said to be better than that of 1876,
when only was the abundance equal
led. Because the peaches are so ex-
ceptionally good, the growers antici-
pate comparatively high prices but
with supply so vast, there is no
reason to doubt that during the next
four weeks we shall be able to get re-
markable good peaches at low rates.
The great crop will also stimulate
the business of canning the fruit, and
making the price of preserved peaches
moderate during the winter The
industry Is now one of the most active
in the country, and helps to largely
increase our export trade. The work
is very often done near the orchards,
and improvements in the processes are
made yearly.
The great peach region is made up
of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.
More peaches are produced there than
on any other equal acreage in the
world. The number of trees aggre-
gates something like six millions,
young and old, and the orchards vary
in size from few hundred trees to
ten thousand. Three of the leading
growers of Maryland, for instance,
have one hundred thousand trees in
bearing this year. The whole region
Is given up to the business, and during
the peach season, we are told, every
inhabitant of the peninsula, male, and
female, is engaged in picking the fruit
or preparing it for market. And never
before, excepting in the single August
of 1875, has the activity been so great
as it is now.
In every direction nature Is giving
US the assurance of low price for
food. Wheat, rye, barley, potatoes,
are all promising better than ever be.
fore, or have actually been harvested
in exceptional profusion, The oat
crop will be by far the greatest ever
raised Corn alone may be little
below the average. Vegetables have
found this an exceedingly favorable
year. Most of the fruits have done
equally well, and of apples, especially,

fording plenty to make prices cheap
at home and to allow great surplus for
export.
