Cancers Conquered.

The Swift Specific Company have the
most indubitable evidence as to the cure
of Cancer by their famous medicine, S.
S. S. Among others, John s. Morrow
an old and highly esteemed citizen OF
Florence, Ala, makes the following state
ment as to the merits of this remedy:
II have been suffering with Cancer in
my right ear, for about three years. I
tried various remedies and was treated
with Iodide Of Potash, which produced
rheumatism. My feet and legs were
greatly swollen, SO that could not walk.
About one year ago was induced to try
Swift's Specific, which soon removed the
trouble in my limbs, and my rheumatism
is now entirely gone and my Cancer is
steadily improving, being better now than
at any time within two years. This med
icine has done me more good than any.

am on the road to q speedy cure. I'm

remedies, but without relief. almost

Thomas w. Carpenter, young man of
Richmond, Va, who recently absconded
from that city, carrying with him $36, 900
in valuable bonds belonging to his en-
ployer, Mr.. Mark Downey and fled to Can
ada, has returned and made full restitu-
ton of the value of the bonds stolen. He
turned over all the money he had in his
possession to Mr.. Downey and made a
conveyance to him of his pretty little home
in Richmond where resided his young
wife and infant children. This amounted
to a full restitution of the funds abstract
ed Carpenter had previously enjoyed the
entire confidence of his employer and the
business community of Richmond, and the
greatest surprise was created when his
crime became known. Since his return,
which was voluntary, he has shown great
signs of penitence, and hopes that the Sc
verify of the law will be mitigated in his
case. He says that his young wife pre-
ferred that he should return, even if he
bad to go to the penitentiary, rather than
to be wanderer about the world with
such charges against him. Breach of trust
is equally penal in Virginia with larceny,
and it is hardly probable that his repent
ance, though very full and practical, will
shield him from the punishment of the
aw. Carpenters case should be lesson

The Austro Hungarian Government has
finally declined to accept Mr.. A. NJ. Kelley,
of Virginia, who was appointed L. S
Minister TO that government, from this
country. No grounds for the refusal have
thus far been made public and the State
department a. Washington refuses for the
present to make any explanations in the
matter; but it is generally understood that
the action Of the Austrian government
been token through Italian influences, the
court of Italy having previously refused
to receive Mr.. Kelley on account of certain
expressions made by him In speech some
years ago, in which he arraigned the
Italian government for its prosecution of
the Catholic Church. 1t is maintained by
an influential element of the press that in
thus undertaking to refuse the credentials
of Minister, the Austrian government
has assumed to call in question our right
of free speech in this country which should
be met with dignity and that Austro-
Hungarian Mission should be left vacant
for the remainder of the present admins
tration in resentment. 1t is difficult,
however, to see wherein the Austrian gov
eminent has offered any greater insult to
the country than Italy had done before.
1t would probably be better to await an
of the course of Mr.. Keiley's
rejection before discussing the matter.
Altogether this affair of Mr.. Kelley seems
to have been an awkward business from
the start

- Unless the Georgia Legislature, which
IS said 10 have under consideration bill
to impose an annual tax Of So so on bach
elors, adds to the measure clause taxing
to like amount maiden ladies who have
refused three or more offers, serious in
justice may be committed. 1t is proper
enough, of course, to fine every man who
has reached a certain age and has not ac-
quired the means or disposition to marry
1t is not right that a paterfamilias with
half dozen daughters, each requiring an
nually eight new hats, as many dresses,
half as many ten-button gloves, &C., ought
to bear the undivided burden. Natural
equity demands partition of the respen-
sibility. But when one of his daughters
"of a certain age has repeatedly declined
to accede to bachelors ardent desire to
incur these expenses, she herself may be
said to be the blamable party, and may
fairly be expected either to pay half the
rejected suitor's tax bill or bill of her
own to an equal amount. In fact, unless
the ladies assent the bachelors are power
less, no matter at what figure the State tax
is put. AS most OF the people who don't
marry are rich, it has been suggested that
a tax ranging from 5000 to $4,000 would
create an alternative which the average
man would consider practical. Some of
the maiden ladies would not perhaps adj
NIT to the collector of taxes that they have
reached "a certain age" This may be
true, but they could not deny that they
had had three or more offers.-BaltimoreI

High License.

Prohibi,ionists will probably begin to
see soon that the enlightened sentiment OF
the country recognizes in high license a
more effec i've weapon against lntemPer-
ance than futile endeavors to egislaie away
supply where there is demand. The TRADE
which was uttered at Druid Hill Park last
Sunday by one of the most vapid OF So
call temperance men, simply because tue
people of Charles county voted against To-
cal option, is apt to disgust people OF real
common sense. 1t is not true that the
sentiment in favor of high license has It's
origin in any base or mercenary motive
1t is shared in by men and women whose
motives are certainly not exposed 10 sus
picion, because they are not professional
apitators The Christian Union, winch Is
certainly one of he most powerful and IN
flueuti \ of religious weeklies, stands OUT
firmly for high license. The Atlanta CEN
sttution, the leading paper OF the State Oh
! Georgia argues for judicious comolna-
ton of local option and high license, ana
the Milwaukee Sentinel says: The high
license law eaacted last winter meets with
general favor. 1t is the only kind OF tenn
perance legislation which is practical IN
this State, and it will prove far more
wholesome in its results than prohibi'
tory law, which would be a dead letter
and a farce" 1t looks as if we were a
bout to have a return to common sense

the Treasury of the United States, and that
the cost of collecting the internal revenue
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1885, was

amount collected, and 100000 less than
the cost for the year 1884 II am graft

the reports of internal revenue agents and
collectors indicate satisfactory condition

No combinations to defraud the govern
ment OF the revenues are known to exist,
and it does not appear that the Illicit
manufacture of either whiskey, tobacco or
cigars, is carried on in any part of the
country to such an extent as to occasion
