mended to try Hunts Remedy, as il has been
used in several such cases here in Portland

drug store here, and found after using the
first bottle that it relieved mo greatly, and
after using several bottles found that il did
me more good than all other medicines and
treatments have received combined. And
to add TO my good opinion of Hunts Remedy,
/ beg to state in closing that my wife has
been for long time troubled with weak
ness and inflammation of the bladder, with o
complication of other diseases peculiar to
women. Alter using only two bottles she
has been completely cured and l can say
that my wife is loud in praise of this Won
dcrful medicine and would highly recon-
mend it to all who are suffering from kidney
diseases or diseases of the bladder"

district court, which was received yesterday,
stating that man travelingas Thomas O,Neill
had been arrested by him. The man had
with him certificate of admission to tho bar

was William NJ. Leslie. He wished to know
whether either of the men had ever been ad-
mitted to practice in this court, and says that
O'Neill is evidently rascal, and had hood
winked many people into paying large sums of
money Upon consulting the records of attor-
ncys' oaths the clerk fthe court found that on
June 26, 1868 William NJ. Leslie of Illinois,

THE DErENsEs OF WASHINGTON.
Maj. IIHinss Report Upon the Condition of
Forts Washington and Foote.


Maj. H"ins's Report Upon the Condition Of
Forts Washington and Foote.
The annual report of Maj. Peter c. Hams
pertaining to the dcfenses Of Washington has
been submitted to the chief of engineers. In
speaking of Fort Washington, at the junction
of Piscataway creek and the Potomac river, he
says there has been no specific appropriation for
this fort since 1873, and it is consequently fast
going to ruin. lie thinks there can be no
question as to tho paramount necessity of
putting this work in thorough condition.
without IL there is nothing to stop n hostile
fleet from approaching within easy range of
the capitol lie thinks that the earthcrn
batteries should be completed as soon as pos
sible. He recommends an appropriation of
$4,000 for the next fiscal year.
There are fourteen serviceuble guns at Fort
Washington, some of them, however, with no
carriages thirteen unserviceable, and three
unserviCGablo mortars.
Fort Foote, an earthwork commanding the
water approach to Alexandria and Washing
ton by way of the Potomac river, was COM
mcncel in 1859. 1t was never completed,
owing 20 the failure of appropriation, and, as
with Fort Washington, everything is going to
ruin. He strongly recommends that it bo
finished in suhStan ial accordance with the
plans of notification adopted some years ago
by the board of engineers for fortitications,
and asks $50 O,0O0appropriation for the next tis-
cal year.
There are six guns at this fort, all of them
without carriages, and nine mortars.
He says of the material pertaining to the
obstruct ions of the Potomac, that it has con-
tinued on shore mt Fort Foote in charge of
q wat Gilman. The timber portion has be-
come entirely worthless from decay. The
irons are in good condition, and have re-

Is Your Blood Pure 7

Now this is an important question, for
without pure and wholesome blood there can
be no perfect health, and without good health
life is mere burden and waste. For inn
pure blood the best medicine known is SEQ
Wills Sasparilla or Blood and Liver Syrup
may be implicitly relied on when every thing
else fails Take it in the spring time es-
pecially, for the impure secretions of the blood
incident to that season of the year; and take
it at all times for Cancer, Scrofula, Liver Com
plants, Weakness, Boils, Tumors, Swellings,
Skin Diseases, Malaria, and the thousand ills
that come from impure blood.
Talking about the liver, we presume that
i'll temper is more often caused by a disordered
liver than anything else. To insure q cheer
ful disposition take Scovill's Blood and Liver
Syrup which will remove the prime cause,
and restore the mind to its natural equilib-
rum,
