Mr.. Clarence Pullen of New Mexico,
brother OF Stanley T. Pullen, Esq. .,of this city
was on Thursday nominated by the President
to be Surveyor-General of New Mexico. Mr..
Clarence Pulen's many friends in this State
will receive the news with great satisfaction.
For several years he has been engaged in
civil engineering in the territory and has been
honorably connected with some of the most
important public and private works construct
ed there. He has special qualifications for the
duties of the Office to which he is appointed,
and the appointment was asked for by a
large portion of the citizens who are inter-
ested in having the government work done
by a competent officer of high character.
Mr.. Pullen was the only candidate for the
place who was identified as acitizen with the
interests of the territory, and in this instance
the President has respected the principle of
the resolution regarding territorial officers
adopted by the last national Republican con-

Vital Questions III.

Ask the most eminent physician
Of any school, what is the best thing in
the world for quietine and allaying all irrita-
tions of the nerves, and curing all forms of
nervous complaints, giving natural, childlike
refreshing sleep always?
And they will tell you unhesitatingly
'Sone form of Hops !!r'
CHAPTER I.
Ask any or all of the most eminent physi-
clans:
'What is the best and only remedy that
can be relied on to cure all diseases of the
kidneys and urinary organs; such as Bright's
disease, diabetes, retention. or inability to
retain urine, and all the diseases and all
meDts peculiar to Women

phatically "Buchul!F'
Ask the same physicians
s'What is the most reliable and surest cure
for all liver diseases or dyspepsia, constipa-
ton, indigestion, biliousness. malaria, fever,
ague, &C." and they will tell you:
Mandrake or Dandelion !!!P'
Hence, when these remedies are combined with
others equa ly valuable.
And compounded into Hop bitters, such won
derful and mysterious curative power is developed,
which is varied in its operations that no disease

Who can gainsay the truth of the follow

"The record Of the Democratic house is now clos
ing, and how little it has done to gain the conf

most devoted adherent of the Democracy cannot
have the fac to say that the present session. of
six months Duration has furnished any reason why
an independent should vote the Democratic ticket
at the ap reaching election Wherein the record is
not barren it is bad. There is neither the promise
nor the potency of reform in the Democratic party
as representej in Congress- typed by the char
acter and tendencies of its local leaders in most of
the States"

solid and clear. But, and this is the point

on recent trip to Gardiner and back he
passed through the cars inquiring of every
body about Blaine and his prospects, and, to
his surprise, every passenger accosted re-
sponded favorably 10 the Republican

no doubt about the sentiment of the

The new prohibitory law which was
passed by the last legislature of Iowa went
into operation yesterday. The law is very

railroad companies to bring liquor into the

beer be carried on their trains. The opera

The Boston Post hears that Butler has
virtually abandoned his attempt to capture
the Democratic national convention, and is
now negotiating with view of controlling

The Democrats about here are anxious to
know who among the Maine delegates to
Chicago are secretly for Butler. There is a
suspicion that Capt. Chase has soft side
for the doughty general, but we believe
there is no foundation for it. Capt. Chase
is too well known as a reformer for the pub
lie TO give any credence to The rumor.

For city which was once half destroyed by
confagration kindled by a fire-cracker, the
people of Portland are strangely tolerant of
that pestiferous and dangerous thing. No
city in America has suffered its men and
boys to amuse themselves with firs-crackers
with less regulation and restriction than this
one. They began firing them when they
pleased fired as long as they pleased, whenever
they pleased and in any manner ther pleased.
All of which goes to prove that the burnt
child does not always dread the fire.

Mr.. Vanderbilt, in recent interview, ex-

buy stocks, perhaps he will discover that

and writes instructively. Under the title "The
Gospel of Defeat" Harriet W. Preston makes
us acquainted with one of the men who COM
