TARIFF REFORM.
The Hewitt Bill Under Consideration.

WASHINGTON, May 23-The Commit
tee on Ways and Means having COM
menced the consideration of the Hewitt
tariff bill, there is no telling where it will
end. 1t is thought that the discussion
may be confined to the provisions amend
atory of the tariff act. There will doubt
less be somewhat OF a contest over the
tariff and internal revenue provisions, but
whether it will be permitted to extend
beyond the jurisdiction of the committee
remains to be seen.
Carlisle and Tariff Reform.
Speaker Carlisle is in somewhat Of a
pickle about the tariff reform meeting to
be held under the auspices of Tammany.
He has been put down to speak, but it
looks as if public duty" that convent
ent cloak, would interpose as a sufficient
reason for not being present The Ken
lucky tariff reform dodge has had such
rough treatment by the House and peo-
pie that its champions have had no dis
position to go at it again. X.

WITHIN the last six months the rail-

was to accommodate the commercial in

good evidence of the material progress
of those regions, and in a measure ac-
counts for the fact that there has been
less complaint of dullness Of business
there than in any other part of the

A Hero of the Vent Hole.
rFrom the Boston Herald


Erastus Proctor, of Appleton, Me-,
sill suffers from wound received at
Gettysburg. He was standing by his
cannon thumbing the vent, when he was
struck In the abdomen, the ball passing
through the intestines and the left hip
bone. Whether the rebel sharpshooter
selected his man and his time with
"malice prepense" cannot be known,
but to remove "No. 3 while the gun is
being loaded brings danger to the gun
and the entire detachment of men, for,
if the vent be uncovered as the charge
enters the hot gun, premature dis
charge results, which may rend the gun,
and will surely take off the arms of sENo.
l." Proctor knew the responsibility
and did not finch, but kept his thumb
firmly to the vent until the shot was
rammed home and the "ready" given.
He then found himself unable to walk
or crawl, and was placed in the shelter
of a rock which protected him from lead,
iron and hoofs. Here he lay five days,
being occasionally seen by surgeon
who would say he could do nothing for
him except to give him something to
make him easy. On the fifth day a
wounded rebel sergeant lying near told
him that he could hear some one q lit
tie way off calling the roll of the Maine
wounded. Johnny" answered for
Proctor, who was nearly speechless, and
he was removed to hospital.

AS in the most delicate process Of the laborato-
ry it is essential that the Reagents employed to
produce chemical changes in matter should be IN
contaminated, SO also it is imperatvcy necessary
that the fluids of the stomach, which act chemically
upon the food, should be perfectly pure. When the
stomach is acid it is because these fluids are viated
or diluted. Similarly, other forus Ga ind gestion
arise from deficiency of the chemical properties OF
the gastric Juices. The most direct and agreeable
way restore their purity and improve their quail
ty, is to take before each meal wineglassfull Of

come the constipation which it produces. The
