Tho State encampment Of The
Grand Army is the leading feature
Of interest in the town at present
but to outsiders it appears a stal,
affair. The soldiers sit and discuss
old scenes and at times become very
earnest and elaborate in their argu-
ments. We overheard one conrad

tion OF tho various commands are
seen in every direction, while mum

designating the spot where heroes
fell. The only General who seems
to have been neglected is General
Reynolds, who commanded tho first

dead by n rebel sharp shooter about

Tho National Cemetery is the
principal object of interest to the cit

land sitnated on Cemetery Hill, tho
scene OF some Of tho most terrific
fighting. The grounds are semi

At the entrance to the cemetery the
visitor is confronted by magnificent
statute OF General Reynolds,a braver
man than whom never drew sword.
In the centre of the grounds is the
National Monument. 1t is of light
grey granite, sixty feet high and
twenty five feet square at the base,
and is surmounted by n white mar

The entire cemetery is lined and
spotted with evergreens, rendering
it one OF the most beautiful burial

HIGH LICENSE.

The Common Council of Chicago has just
doubled the tax for retail liquor licenses
Even then it was not raised as high as
was demanded by the people, but it was a
great step in advance. The increase Sc.
cures Chicago additional revenue to the
amount of slSS, 700. The Inter- Ocean says
if the Council aupposes the people will be
satisfied it is mistaken sadly. They de.
msnd high license, that will limit the
number of poisoning doggeries, and make
liquor contribute fair share toward the
expenses Of government. Here in Sacra-
mento, where everybody wants high Ii.
cense, where the better elements in the
liquor business favor it, where we have
need for lower water rates and more money,
and where the inequitable merchandise IL
oense is an admitted wrong, there should
be no hesitation about doing that for which
there is full authority-that which will in
crease the revenues, abolish merchandise
licenses, in no wise affect the question Of
the city Indebtedness, decrease the low
doggeries, lessen police expenses, insure
lower rates Of taxation, and generally ben.

TREATMENT AND CURE.

Having shown the widespread and pernicious in.
fluence exerted By Catarrh over the entire animal
economy and the diversity OF forms in which it may
manifest ITSELF it will be apparent to all intelligent
obseI vers that its treatment and Is matter Of
the highest consideration requiring thorough famil
iarity with the disease in all its FORMS coupled with
Judgment and skill that can only be acquired by
years of study and large practical experience. In
this connection may here be pardouei in saying
that among educated physicians | was the first in
this or any other country to devote my attention
the study and investigation of catarrhal diseases
snd the happy results which attended my labors
have been atrested by a multitude Of patients.
The method Of treatment pursued is as scientific
as it is rational and successful By the aid Of an
appropriate apparatus of my own construction the
affected cavities thoroughly Illuminated, and
their condition so clearly brought to view, that the
exact seat and nature of the disease be distinctly
seen and plainly recognized. In this manner, and
by means of variety Of ingenious appliances the
medicaments, in the shape Of liquids sprays gases
vapors powders, may be required, are conveyed
directly to every portion Of the affected surface with
the most gratifying results and without causing the
least pain distress. So effective is this plan Of
treatment that single application is often preduc
tive Of decided relief The offensive discharge
diminishes, ILLUMINATION subsidies, alterations are
made to heal, morbid growths are removed, irrita'
ton is allayed, the mucous membrane Is once
more restored to a healthy condition, and perma-
nent cure is finally effected.

ARoUr THE CoMprAINTs

Thus far every complaint examined into
before the new Board of Railroad Commits.
sioners has been shown to be trivial. In
the first case, the passenger took the advice
of hotel runner as to the time of stoppage
of train at station and was by the train
left-nevertheless, the company offers to
make good his trivial damage. In the next,
it is shown that the rates between points
in the central sections of the State and
about the bay of San Francisco are not ex.
orbitant, as was charged, but are as reas-
enable and as low as is consistent with the
present cost of operation. In the remain.
ing cases the principle is pointed out, as n
answer, which always has and always will
prevail, that the competitive rate between
terminal points is not, never was and never
can be the proper standard for the value of
services rendered between intermediate
points not in competitive relations with
other places or competitive lines. Lastly,
that there are lines on which steamer rates
between given points are lower than by rail
between the same points, for large and
small lots alike, and for the very good
reason that, under the Constitution, when
the transporter lowers his rates for small
lots to the competitive points he is com.
PEELED to afford intermediate places in the
same direction, though not enjoying CON-
petitive advantages, all the advantages &C.
cruing to the competitive points, and as
such rates are not the true measure Of
value Of the service, the railroad freighteI
is compelled to yield the through traffic to
his water competitions law, by the way,
as cruel and unjust as it is discriminating
and in violation of true business principles.

AURAL CATARRu-DEAFNEss

Catarrh is of the most frequent causes of deaf
ness This fact is fully recognized by all aurists Of
repute, and is Of itself Of sufficient importance TO
direct public and professional attention to its timely
removal. The late Dr. Ed. NJ. Curtis, who was SC
deservedy held in the highest esteem in this ccm-
munity, in paper read before the Medical Soci.
ETY. of the State of California, in 1873, entitled
" How We Become Deaf" gives as his experience
that at least nine-tenths of all the of trouble
of hearing that he had seen on this coast had been
noying disease Catarrh- which has a variety Of
causes and assumes a number Of FORMS" and
his experience is fully corroborated by my
own Scarcely any one afflicted with Ca
tarrh for any length of time has acute or alb.
solutey normal hearing. With some the hearing
suffers at first only by spells, the ears becoming OBJ
strueed with each accession of cold, but by degrees
the spells of deafness oftener and last longer
until at length the hearing remains permanently
impaired In others the deafness commences
insidiously and increases slowly but gradually
until all useful hearing is lost Occasionally the
aural Catarrh becomes aggravated through cold OF
other causes, when an acute inflammation in the
may be set up resulting in ear-ache pain and subse
queut discharge from the ear Noises in the head
of every conceivable description are also apt to
make their appearance adding materially to the ex-
isting distress.

MISPLACED SYMPATHY.


A miserable wretch in Chicago beat his
wife with the buckle end of strap until
she was dead Now that he is in the
clutches of the law, he is crying aloud for
mercy, claiming that he was "chastising
the woman for her good, and did not mean
to kill her." Strange as it may appear, a
mawkish sympathy has been manifested
for the brute, because he was under the in
fuence of liquor when he murdered the
mother of his children. The time has
gone by when there should be extended to
the drunkard sympathy for the miseries he
brings upon himself by his appetite. II
men will prime themselves with whisky,
to work diabolical deeds, let them not
shield themselves behind the beverage
they abuse. For the people who work up
sickly, sentimental sympathy for guzzling
wife heaters and murderers, society should
express its contempt and adherence.
There is nos, and can not be, such thing
as martyrdom to appetite.

NERVOUS DERANGEMENrs.

Cstarrh being located so close to the nerve center,
the brain, almost invariably exercises pernicieus
influence in that direction, and this find daily
verified in our practice Evidence to that effect
manifests itself in the impairment or loss of smell
and taste which often takes place, as well as in
defective power of attention, weakness of memory,
and general enfeeblement of the mental faculties.
The patient cannot accomplish his usual mental
tasks without pronounced and painful effort and
finds persistent attempt to concentrate his atten.
ton or to follow fixed line of thought productive
Of headache dizziness, confusion of ideas and ex-
cessive fatigue. At times he finds himself CON-
petely disqualified for any occupation requiring the
active exercise of his intellectual powers

CATARRH OF THE THROAT.

The throat is invariably more or less involved in
Catarrh producing feeling OF tullness and uneasi-
ness which exctes almost constant disposition to
swallow or to scrape the throat, accompanied, at
times, by sensation Of rawness, irritation or dis.
comfort behind and above the soft palate or in the
throat itself. Occasionally almost constant sensa-
ton of disagresable dryness is experienced giving
rise to considerable distress. Cough of variable
severity is often present, sometimes of mere hack
ing character but occasionally of very severe and
troublesome nature, accompanied by wandering
pains and other uncomfortable sensations through
the chest.
The voice is always more or less affected
becoming hoarse, weak, uneven, mufHed or
cracked, and occasionally it is SO impaired
that it degenerats into mere hoarse
whisper

The alarming tendency manifested by Catarrh to
the development of consumption is Z fact more and
more recognized by the profession, as it has long
since been noticed by myself and other physicians
devoting themselves to this speciality Indeed, all
authorities now agree that next to hereditary pre-
disposition Catarrh is one of the chief and most
frequent causes of that fatal complaint and it can
scarcely be otherwise when the nature of Catarh is
taken into consideration. Its tendency is to keep
the delicate structure Of the mucous membrane lin
ing the respiratory organs in a constant state Of
inflammation, irritation and discomfort and to
else depressing, facilitating and enervatng effect
upon the system Under these circumstances the
strongest constitution will in time break down and
Sphere changes and other unfavorable influences,
and thus one after another the vital powers give

drowsiness and sleep. The stomach becoming af-

sive secretion which is constantly conveyed to
it with the food and drink, digestion is
impaired and the appetite fails. The mucous
membrane becomes morbidly sensitive, and, in
spite of the utmost care, becomes affected from
the slightest causes, so that at last even a breath
of wind upon the lining of the nose or throat
becomes productive of a cold, and gives rise
to serious disturbance of the respiratory organs.
Thus the patient subject to frequent and repeated
colds each one aggravatng the disease by giving it
new impulse, and attacking larger extent OF sur
face than its predecessor. In this manner the
inflammation spreads from organ to organ, invad-
ing the throat, larynx and bronchial tubes, until,
encroaching further and further, it finally reaches
the lungs. Let the lesson be borne in mind
which experience teaches US daily THAT TO NEGLECT
THE PROPER TREATMENT OF cATARRH is TO RISK
DEATH FROM CONSUMPTION.

A PRANK ApMIss1og.

The showing of the shipments by rail
from Kern county has completely demon
allied the fanatical press. There is no
answer to be made to the exhibit. The
Kern county Californian, in a labored
defense admits that the stock was
shipped by rail, but attributes it TO
the fact that the rates were nearly eouiva.
lent to the cost of driving. That is the
pith of the whole defense, and certainly
the railroad company needs no better argu.
ment in It's own behalf.

OFFENSIVE BREATH.

AS natural consequence, in nearly every case of
Catarrh the breath is more or less tainted, but
der the sufferer an object of disgust to himself as
well to others. Again. cases are occasionally met
with, as already shown in which the stencil is really
overpowering, AID sufficiently fetid to poison the
atmosphere Of whole room. Thus, per1on affected
with Catarrh lives continually in an impure atmos-
phere Of his own creation, and inhales poisonous
effiuvia with every breath.

THE Bodie Free Press says: 'It strikes US
that those papers whose stock in trade is their anti
railroad sentiments do occasionally run the thing
very deep into the ground. We believe in keeping
the railroads within the control Of governmental
authority, and we believe in the exercise CT inst
authority in all proper ways. But We DO not be-

OF railroads. nor in constantly nagging and annoy
ing them with unfrendy legislation, whereby they

TEE NA1rRE OF carAnRH.

Among the list of chronic diseases which affect
the human frame, Catarrh ia the most prevalent,
most offensive most productive of discomfort, and
most liable to variety of dangerous and distress
ing complications Though popularity supposed
to be mere local complaint of the nos.
trils it is in reality deep-seated, complex
aud often malignant disease. 1t is of the most
important and frequent causes of consumption, and
so often productive of Deafness that high medical
authority recently affirmed that were it not for
Catarrh there would be but few cases of impaired
hearing. 1t iniames and weakens the eyes, i'm
pairs or destroys the senses of smell and TASTE gives
rise to the development of Bronchitis and Asthma,
affects the mind and nervous system, renders the
breath impure and offensive and thus often solate5
the sufferer and renders him an object of disgust to
himself and others. Occasionally, it spreads from
the cavities of the head and nose to every organ Of
the human body lined or enveloped by the
mucous membrane, and may thus in time affect
the stomach, liver, kidneys, bowele, bladder
and uterine organs. It was this important char
aeter of Catarrh and its alarming prevalence that
first attracted my attention and induced me to give
the subject my special attention. In 1855 first
published the result of my investigations, and ever
sinca then II has been my special object to familiar
ize the public mind, through lectures and the medi
UNI of the press, with the nature tendency and de-
sructive consequences of Catarrhal disease, and to
awaken that interest in regard to its timely and
judicious treatment which its Importance demands.
