Rather Enthusiastic.

The Wilmington (Del. Daily Repub-
lican lately contained the following
item of popular interest: DR.. j. f.
Speck, who Is connected with the Will
mington Every Evening, speaks rather
enthusiastically Of st. Jacobs Oil. DR..
Speck states that he uses the Oil In his
family as a household remedy, a sort of
universal panacea for all aches and
pains, and has always found it to act
most happily. His attention was called
to 1t by the many testimonials in its
favor, and he one day used it upon him
self or sore throat. Two applications
were sufficient to effect a cure. He
also used 1t on his little girl for sore
throat with gratifying success. The
same child had scarlet fever this win
ter which left the tendons of one leg
much contracted. The little prattler
couldn't walk without assistance and
suffered much Inconvenience and pain.
Several applications Of st. Jacobs Oil
restored her limb to its normal con-
dition and she has not experienced any
trouble since. DR.. Speck states that he
has also seen the Oil act charmingly III
toothache. He thinks st. Jacobs Oil is
a sterling remedy, and does not hest
tate to recommend it for rheumatism,

DRovER's JOURNAL, March 10 =
Swan Bros. & Frank had in seven cars
of far west cattle, slop-fed at Des
Moines. A lot of 7Sssteers, 1854 lbs.
sold at $500; and Al bulls, 1864 to
1916 lbs, sold at S4.T0.
THE WYOMING CATTLE.-The arriv-
al yesterday Of eight carloads Of very
fat cattle from Wyoming, of which men
ton was made in our market reports,
is q matter that deserves more than
passing notice. That these cattle
should come here at this season of the
year in a condition just as fat as any of
the corn-fed cattle that we are receiving
of the same average weight when they
have had nothing but hay with some
light ranging on buffalo Oh gramma
grass, certainly makes a matter that
every cattle man in the country
should make a special note Of. The
hay that these cattle were chiefly fed
or during the winter was made of a GER
tain kind of mountain grass that grows
in great abundance on the level land of
the valleys and parks through all the
eastern side of the Rocky Mountain
country north of the Union Pacific r.
r. This kind of grass attains a height
equal to that of common timothy, and
will yield from Two to four tons per acre
according to locality and other condi-
tions. The climate is the best in the
world for cutting and curing hay and
this grass in curing retains all its nutri-
tious quality, it bears a kind of seed that
is exceedingly rich, and. altogether
makes for cattle, horses or sheep the
richest hay feed that can be found in the
world, and we see it stated that it can
be harvested and put up at an expense
of about S1.50 per ton, as the weather
in that country is always reliable for
harvesting operations. This mountain
grass sometimes yields two crops a year.
1t is not in the making of fat cattle
alone that interest in this matter will
be felt in our market. We hear upon
reliable authority that sheep are now
being slaughtered for common use out
in that country, that are Just as fat in
proportion as are the cattle referred to,
so that it is now a well settled matter
that cattle or sheep with proper cart
can regularly be made just as fat for oul
spring markets through all the country
named, on grass and hay alone, as we cal
make them in Illinois or Iowa on corn

Memphis, March 20.-The river fell

outlook there Ia much brighter. As
o as the water ceases running
through the crevssse below that city
the overflow can easily be drained of
from the city.
There is scarcely anything to be seen
as yet but water, and what few spots of
land visible are covered with dead or
starving cattle and hogs, or families
who have not been able to cur better
positions.
A number Of refugees at Friars Point
are still living in the upper story Of
their houses or on the roofs, not being
able to get away. Most of them are
suffering for food.
Between seven and eight thousand
people are in need of assistance and
will have to be fed till the waters sub

Washington, March 2O.-The Post
to-day has the following: The debate
on the Chinese bill will probably extend
well into the week. An amendment
limiting the ~prohibitory immigration
clause for coolie or seryile laborers will
be offered, and will doubtless be SIREN
uously opposed by the advocates Of the
bill. 1t is reported that the Chinese
minister has expressed the opinion that
the Celestial government have no OBJ
lection to a suppression Of immigration
for ten years, but that twenty years
prohibition is stretching the treaty pro-
visions a little too far. The rumor
that President Arthur will veto the bill
on account Of the twenty year clause is
not credited by influential senators and
representatives.

The Political Assessments Question.
THE THOMAS LETTER-HON. JAY HUBBELL SAID TO
BE THE AUTHOR OR INsTIGAToR OF 1T IN ORDER
TO GET AN OFFICIAL OPINION.
1t will be remembered that the consideration by
the President and his Cabinet OF the question Of
assessing government employees for campaign pur-
poses was brought about by q letter to the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury from A.Thomas, clerk in the
Treasury department, asking whether it was un-
lawful for him to pay the assessment OF two per
cent OF his salary to be made by Jay Hubbell
The question was referred to the Attorney General
for On opinion, which resulted in the decision that
member OF Congress is not an officer of the gov
ernment in the sense contemplated by the law,
and consequently Is not prevented from receiving
contributions for political purposes It now turns
out that MT. Thomas was not the author OF the
rather under his direction, for the purpose OF
having the vexed question settled. OF course It
was necessary to have 1t appear as coming from
government employe, and several efforts were
made TO have some one employed III one OF the
departments sign 1t, and make 1t appear as II he
was the man who was anxious to contribute to the
success OF the party which would keep him in
Office II he could lawfully do So Mr.. Thomas ex-
pressed willingness to shoulder the author
ship, and so the desired end was gained. Mr.
Thomas is not now SO willing and anxious, how
ever to contribute the two per cent OF his salary
as he Is represented In the letter to be; but he
viii have to stand by the intention expressed over
his signature, and hand over his share unless he
should be passed by In consideration OF the special
service he has rendered.
