Facts About Rheumatism.

Mrs. Gen. Sherman says: i have frequently
purchased Durangs Rheumatic Remedy for
friends suffering with rheumatism, and in
every instance it worked like magic"
Gen. Logan, United States Senator, writes {:
" Some years ago l was troubled more or less
with rheumatism, and have been a great suf-
ferer in the last year with same disease. I be-
gan to take Durang's Rheumatic Remedy, and
am satisfied that l have been cured by its use.
/ recommend it to all sufferers"
Sam1 l.. Felker, Of Chicago, writes: "There
are few cases of rheumatism here which, like
my own, the doctors pronounce incurable; but
as Dnrangs Rheumatic Remedy made such
permanent cure in me, am determined to have
them give it a fair trial. and if it fails will
pay for the cost of the remedy. Inclosed find

Who Was Hell

To THE EDITOR: While the racket about the
recapture of De Crosses battery goes bravely
on, would like some comradc TO inform the
readers Of our great paper what has become
of the misunderstanding but brave and gallant
French boy who left his guns when every
horse he had lay dead in its harness, and the
guns themselves were covered with cur reck-
less Southern brethren and who, with the
handful of live men he had left returned with
the front line of infantry, whoever they were,
and before the last ditches- were a hundred
feet away, was standing on one of his guns.

" Out Of Meat"

To THE EDITOR: 1t might very pertinently be
asked why we 'uns, the ex-soldiers who pre-
pared the materials for the feast, are put off
with nothing but husks and crumbs. There is
just as much capacity and talent, a keener sense
of the principles of honor and justice, more
exalted courage and loftier patriotism among
those that composed the armies of the Repub-
lie than may be found in the ranks of the nom
combatants; and if the veterans aud heroes of
the grandest army that ever was marshaied in
the worlds history would unite in creating and
building up public sentiment in their favor
by extending the circulation of The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE, and follow the course outlined by the
officers of the Veterans Rights Union and the
properly delegated leaders of the GA T.. there
would then be no trouble ia securing all that
justly belongs to them.
Almost every one has heard the story of the
boys who were putting and sweating while re-
moving the earth from under a stump when a
stranger approached, and the following COLO
guy took place:
well, boys what are you digging after p"
"Grouna-hog, Sir"
"Do you think you'll get hm?"
Get him! Get bimi" exclaimed little fell
low; % if you'll just stay here a few moments
you will make up your mind that we're bound
to get him, for the minister's coming to cur
house to-day and are are out of meat
Now, comrades, many of you, l have no
doubt,-and the writer is no exception to the
class am trying to describe,-are in precisely
similar condition. It's grounding day with
us, and whether the minister comes or not it's
all the same" We are out of meat" 1t may
as well be understood, however, that we are no
less earnest than the boys TO whom have re-
ferred, and that the ground hog or a pension,
has got to come. We have dug after it long
enough.
Those politicians who flatter and cajole when
they want a vote and turn their backs after the
vote is secured; who are not willing that an
old soldier should have good Fat nd-hog
after he has been digging for it over 20 years
will find themselves far in the rear when they
again ask the suffrage of the people, unless
they speedily change their ccurse-B. Cor

the article itself. Referring to the cost OF the
institution contemplated by the bill. he said
it would be less than one cent to each individ-
ual in the State. Something had been said
about the pertinacity of the grangers in this
matter. The grangers are numerous enough
to be respected, and intelligent and wealthy
enough to be respectable. They are numer-
GUS enough to have some political power.
These farmers ask to be heard They pay
more than half of the taxes, and he would
not dare to refuse to these $4,000 men who
bear this large burden, measure of so much
Importance to them.
MIR. Marble desired brief time in which
to reply to the Senator from Piscataquis
Mr.. Lebroke1, but he found that his health
would not permit of this at present. He
therefore desired the indulgence of the Senate
in postponement of the matter until morn
ing, and on his motion the bill was laid on
the table and assigned for further considera-
ton at half past ten tomorrow. Previous to
the tabllng of the bill Mr.. Tapley moved to
amend by striking ont all except sections Z,
8, ~ and l3 communication was received
from the House through Its clerk requesting
the return of the contracts with Messrs
Sprague & Son and Smith & Reid to do the
State printing and binding for the years 1885
and 1886
The Presldent-The Chalr understands that
the papers are lodged in the office of the Sec
rotary of State. The question will be upon
receding from the vote of the Senate approx
ing the contracts. And what action will the
Senate take?
Mr.. Tapley raised the point that no action
could be- taken until the papers were in pos
| session of the Senate.
The President sustained the point and on
motion of Mr.. Weeks the Secretary of the
Senate was charged with and conveyed a
message to the Secretary of State, requesting
a return of the papers.
