DR.. CAGES Singular Success.

Last week DR.. Gage was again in Montpelier
and Burlington and still greater thronK of
patients consulted him than at any preceding
visit. His practice is among our best families
who already realizing the efficacy of the Doc
tors peculiar herbal treatment, send their
friends to him in great numbers, One well
known Montpelier resident who had spared
neither time nor money and who had travelled
thousands of miles in quest of health already
reports most remarkable results from Dr.
Cages treatment ana lady on Church St.,
Burlington, reports her cure after having been
the rounds of the local physicians of that and
other cities. Certainly DR.. Gage has abundant
reason to be proud of his achievements. He
came to Vermont an entire stranger and by
his candOr, honest dealings and skill has built
up a practice second to none in the State. 1t
is not strange that people were little slow
at first to accept his treatment, for the conn-
try has been overrun with unprincipled char
latans who have imposed upon and disguised
the community. Ii speaks well for the doctor
that he has visited the leading cities in New
Hampshire every month for years where he
publishes hundreds of sworn testimonials from
well known citizens like the following:

MASSACRE OF CATHOLICS,
Chinese Converts Destroyed and Several
Hundred Converts Reported Killed.

SAN FRANCISCO, April S.-The steamer
Oceanic brings Hong Kong advices to
March 10 and Yokohama advices to March
81. The Shanghai Mercury says the vice
roy of the Yum Nau and Kwe Chong pro-
vnces has issued decree commanding
the destruction of all Roman Catholic
converts. The decree also orders that all
Roman Catholic converts and all foreign
ers be killed. Reports have reached
Shanghai that several Roman Catholic
settlements have already been destroyed
and several hundred converts killed. The
village of Kin va Ping, two days journey
from Tall, has been destroyed and four
converts and two priests have been killed.
The only reason assigned by the Chinese
viceroy for the massacre is that the Rom
an Catholics were going to revolt against
the Chinese government.

A good many very interesting journals
continue to speak of the civil service rules
as if they prohibited removals except for
cause. They should understand that they
do not touch the question of removals, but
only that of appointments. There is no
difficulty in emptying offices of their in
cumbents; the trouble is that in the places
protected by the rules appointments
cannot be made except after competitive
examinations. Hence there is no incen-
tive to make vacancies which cannot be
filled with political nenchmen.-Bo Boston
