The eyes are always in sympathy win
the body, and afford an excellent indie,
Of its condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids inAamed ana sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by scrofula,> for
which ayers Salsapa-iila is the best
known remedy.
Gcrofula, which produced PAINFUL in
nanlfnation IN 1ly eyes, caused me much
suffering for G number OF years. By the
advice OF q physician commenced taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine short time was completely

MY eyes are now in Q splendid condi-
ton, and lam as well and strong as ever.
Mrs. William Gage, Concord, n. II.
For number of years was troubled
with q humor in my eyes, and was unable
to obtain any relief until I commenced
using Ayers Sarsapariila. This medi-
cine has effected a complete cure. and
believe it to be the best of blood puri-
fers.-C. b. Upton, Nashua, n. II.
From childhood, and until with a few
months, Rave been afflicted with Weak
and Sore Eyes. I have used for these
complaints, with beneficial results,
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and consider it q
great blood purifier. = Mrs. c. Phillips,
Glover, Vt.
I suffered for q year with infamma-
ticn in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the ball, depriving NE Of sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, TO no purpose, was final
j. induced to use Ayers Sarsaparilla.
BY 7 aking
three bottles OF this medicine I have been
entirely cured. NY sight has been re-
stored, and there is 10 sign OF intlamma-
ton, sore, or ulcer in my eye. = Kendall
y Bowen, Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio.
Ny daughter, ten years old. was afflict-
cd With Serofulous Sore Eyes. During
the last two years she never saw light of
any kiLd. Physicians Of the highest
standing exerted their skill, but with no
permanent specess. On the recOmmen-
t!ation OF q friend purchased a bottle of
Ayers SarsapariIla, which my daughter
commenced taking. Before she had used
the third bottle her sight was restored.

Mr.. Reed, after showing that the country
was running on the education given by the
Republican party to the Democrats and the
impetus given to our government by the
twenty years Of Republican rule, closed his
letter thus
Some real force, born of sound sense, has got

must come from the party which supported
Abraham Lincoln while he lived, and carried

probable,
The city of Richmond has the longest
line OF electric railway In successful opera
tion In the United States. The line is about
seven miles long, and was opened to the
public this week, and has been we'll patron
lied by the people.
The Richmond locomotive and machine
works are now giving employment to
about 400 men, and II the government con-
tract which they are expecting is obtained

Richmond has the finest monument OF
bronze and granite in the world, 1t has the
Oldest American capitol, aud the Oldest
state records, and 1t has the famous church
where Patrick Henry made his speech,
"Give me liberty or give me death"
An investigation into the affairs of the
Virginia Military Institute is to be made.
There has been some trouble between Gen.
I. 7. Munford, president OF the board OF
visitors, and Gen. F. IL. Smith, superin.
tendent OF the institute. Heace the inyes-
tgation.
The receipts OF the Norfolk and Western
Railroad Company during the week OF cheap
round-trip rates were largely in excess OF
any other week during the year. On the
western division alone the receipts in one
day from passenger fare amounted to
$4,000.
The work OF renovating the venerable
old brick church at Smithneld, Isle OF
Wight county, are nearly completed. The
church is the Oldest IN Virginia. II was
built OF brick brought from England In
1888, and has been In constant use for more
than two centuries.
The safe burglars that lately robbed the
safe OF Chapman & Gale, Norfolk, of all

The second annual banquet Of the Young
Mems Republican Club of New York was

The memorial meeting of the Republican

The memorial meeting OF the Republican
National League yesterday In honor of
Ltncoln's birthday was an occasion of great
interest. The fact that the Republicans OF
the country are holding such meetings In
remembrance Of the great martyr President
shows that the party is rousing up for the
work of the campaign which is to place
Republican in the white house, and no
longer permit II &C be held hy a repre-
sentative OF the party when Abraham Lin
coin did so much to drive from power.
The addresses on the occasion were
able and eloquent. The opening prayer
OF the Rev, John p, Newman was
q splendid invocation. Senator Gull
lon gave a concise history of the public
and private life of President Lincoln, to
whom he lived many years neighbor.
The Hon. Frederick Douglass made most
eloquent address upon the character OF the
man who gave freedom to the race OF which
the speaker is the most honored representa-
tive. The Hon, Simon Wolf delivered a
most brilliant and eloquent speech, giving
many interesting "reminiscences of Presi-
dent Lincoln never before made public.
Ills speech was listened to with marked at
tention and intense interest. Capt. Patrick
O'Ferrall made the closing speech. The
meeting was largely attended by the men,
bers OF the League, their families, and
friends.

Special Trains.
The National Opera Company, which
gave such splendid performances at the New
National Tbeater last week, left yesterday
morning In two special trains for Richmond,
bidding not farewell, but tau revoir,n to
the musical public Of the national capital.
This great organization returns next week
to the New National Theater, where there
can be no doubt that another liberal well
come awaits 1t. Two performances OF
"Nero," two performances Of Faust and
one representation of "Lohengrin,n "The
Queen OF Sheba,n and "Tannhauser" should
serve to crowd the New National Theater
at every performance. Over 500 persons
were unable to obtain admission to the the
ater when "Nero" was given last week. II
will be the opening attraction next week,
and 1t may be expected that the capacity of
seats and standing room will again be fully
tested on the occasion. The season sale OF
seats, which. 1t should be remembered,
gives choice OF seats for all performances,
opens at Metzerotts music store, 9O3 Penn
sylvania avenue, tomorrow morning at o
q. IN. The sale Of seats for single perform.
ances will be opened on Thursday at $50 a.
IN. at the box office OF the New National
Theater. Owing TO other important en-
gagements these will positively be the last
performances OF National Opera which can
be given here until the spring OF 1850.

"a Disgrace to American Legislation" "


Mr.. Alfred Taylor, In retiring from the
editorship of the Sentinel, workingmen's
paper published at Birmingham, Alabama,
says some things that are worthy Of con-
sideration. Discussing the financial situa-
tion, he says: -
IN fact, 1t is not worthy the name OF fnan-
cial management, but trlckery, dishonesty,
and disgrace TO american legislation, and is
Just the reverse OF the policy pursued by the
French government after the French and Ger.
man war
AT the close of the rebellion there was eos
per capita in circulation and nearly every
body was out of debt, the homes OF the people
were free from mortgages, money was plenti-
tul, people were happy, and crime and pow
erty almost unknown. But to-day we have
less than sS per capita in practical use, and
business men see the ACcumulations of nte-
time swept away for want of means to cancel
small obligations the merchants goods re-
main upon the shelf, and manufactured ar
ticles are unsold and thousands of people 60
hungry and partly naked, aud crime is on the
increase.
The result Of such class legislation was pro-
nounCed by German banker as system of
fnanciering that would disoredit the money
management OF the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries, and by an English statesman who
says that were It not for the fertility of the
soil and the indomitnble Will and energy OF
the people American civilization would de-
cline by the bliRhtlng influence OF marasmus.
There is not IN overproduction, but
there is underconsumption and clog in dis
tribution. The country is full OF material
wealth and every one wsnts to buy and sell,
and yet they are prevented by the scarcity OF
money the means of transfer and association
which has been willfully Withdrawn from the
channels OF trade at the rate of sl0OO0OO0 per
month for the express purpose OF forcing debt
trade and interest, which in its train brings
bankruptcy, the harvest time Of the credit
class.

many other proposals for trades have been
made by the Mills coterie besides the one Of

Robertson, Of Louisiana. These were asked
If they would support the Mills tariff bill,
with reduction OF only 90 per cent. on
sugar. They declined the trade and re.
fused to pledge themselves to support the
bill. 1t is probably the first time in the
history Of legislation that the chairman OF
the ways and means committee went
round trying to bribe members to vote fol
bill by taking care Of their special inter

The speech Of Bismarck, which all the
papers of the country, except the NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN, declared was to have the eff
feet OF pacifying Europe, seems to have
had an effect just the other way. Warlike
preparations and warllke talk continue on
allsldes. Russia is pushing her armies to
the southwestern border. Germany is ex-
tending her strategic railway eastward
and working her arms factories to the ut
most. Austria is hurrylng her forces to
