so the paragraph now stands IN the bill in
this form:

Mr.. Morgan gave notice that when tho bill
should be open to amendment generally, he
would move to add a provision that all books
designed for instruction in schools shall be
admitted duty free"
Mr. Salisbury announced that no would
offer an amendment providing for the free ad-
mission Of books not published in this country.
Tho amendment made in committee of
whole raising the duty on bituminous coal
from so to IS cents ton, being reached Mr..
Vance asked for n separate vote upon agree
ing to it. This amendment gave rise to de-
bate which lasted until 9 o'clock.
Mr. Farley said that the chief burden of the
tax on coal fell upon California, and that this
increase would add $l50,O00 year to the tax
there levied upon them.
Mr. Davis, Of West Virginia, advocated the
amendment.
Mr.. Morgan said that this bill ought to he

portions Of the country, and appropriate the
money to certain other people. 1t had all the
worst characteristics of the river and harbor
bill of last session, and it had produced tho
same kind Of combinations Both bills were
framed and pushed forward upon tho same
principle, ''you tickle me and I'll tickle YOU"
and the negotiations had been conducted, not
only in tho lobby, but openly on the floor of
the senate. In this matter of coal, large
bodies of coal land in West Virginia belonged
TO certain gentlemen, and the representatives
of those interests were in the senate voting
money out of the pockets of the people of
California into their own.

THE MORAL OF TT.

We may moralize as much as we
please about pain; but the fact is,
that we don't like it while it lasts,
and that we want to get rid of it as
soon as we can. Whether caused by
rheumatism, gout, disordered liver,
weak nerves, irregular kidneys, bad
blood, or anything else that is Just
the reverse of what it should be, the
sooner it is out of the system the
happier we are. Whether pain is
the result of imprudence or Of acci-
dent, or is sent as punishment for
our sins, may be a nice question for
the philosophers TO argue; but peo-
pie who are suffering want first to be
rid of the pain, after which those
who are fond of argument may argue
the matter to their hearts content.
Above all theory, argument, and
philosophy, comes the delightful fact
that Browns IRON BITTERs drives
pain away. Sufferers run no risk in
trying this medicine, the only COM
pound containing iron which carries
no mischief with it. Those who have
used it will tell you so; and you can
try for yourself by buying a bottle

ExPREssMEN LIABLE.

Mr.. A. >, MERRILL, the popular expressman
Of Brunswick, Me, writes us on May Is, 1883 as
follows: "Having been severely afflicted for
about two years with Inflammation of the kid
neys and bladder, so called by my physicians,
suffered with distressing pains In my back and
retention Of urine, caused by q stoppage of the
neck Of the bladder and complication of
other diseases. 1 was hardly able to attend to
my business, and at times would be completely
prostrated. was also affected with inconti-
nence of urine to an alarming degree; indeed
1t dem anded my attention fifteen or twenty
times per night and at times 1t would seem i'm
possible for me to ride down to the depot on my
wagon, for every jar from the wagon would al
most seem to take my life. Having failed to
obtain relief from my doctor, finally consulted
our druggist DIR, Merryman, of Brunswick, and
requested him to furnish me with the most re
liable and speedy cure for such sickness, for
was suffering too much for human nature TO en-
dure long The doctor recommended me to
use Hunts Remedy, as 1t had been used with
remarkable success In a good many cases in
Brunswick and vicinity. ] purchased bottle,
and received such great relief that continued,
and had not used two bottles before began to
improve beyond my expectations The pains
in my Kidneys and lOins disappeared, l re-
gained strength and my water began to pass
naturally. and was able to sleep soundly, and
obtain the greatly needed rest which for
long time l could not. l am fully
restored to health, and can attend to my bust
ness. Thanks to Hunts Remedy for my restor-
alton, and highly recommend it to all who
are troubled with kidney complaints. )"

was mixed with manure, or was used
as it originally came from the saw,
which would make considerable differ
ence Neither was it stated how much
was used in the hill, nor whether the
sawdust was from hard or soft wood,
all of which are very important con-
siderations. But it is hardly probable
that this article in it's native state will
be used very extensively as fertilizer
until more is known about it, although
if as stated, the yield of potatoes can
be doubled by its use, at the present
time, when there are so many portable
mills at work in the general destruc-
-tion of the forests of New England,
and sawdust is accommodating in guam
titles, if it can be utilized as profita-
bly,, it certainly should be done.
Within a few years farmers in
Columbia, Ct, have been in the
habit of carting from permanent
saw-mill the sawdust that accumu-
lated, using it as an absorbent and for
bedding purposes, but no claim has
ever been made, nor has it been sug-
gested, that of itself it possessed any
agricultural value further than it's
absorptive power, but that it exerted
remarkably beneficial mechanical
effect upon the manure with which it
was Incorporated, so that it very much
aided its disintegration or pulveriza-
ton, a thing that is always desirable.
Sawdust is substance that is useful
to the farmer in the office it performs
as an absorbent and disintegrator, and
also in the use that is so satisfactorily
made of it for packing around the ice
of an ice house. but its further use has
not yet been satisfactory proved.
