Mrs. Rebecca Jackson, living at &c Congress

ial neuralgia for seven years. 1t would at times
extend down the right side to the leg. This dis
ease is known as Tic Donloureux and is the hard

ing these seven years of torture what Mrs. jack
son suffered is beyond the pen to describe. Every
thing in the world was done for her that could be
thought of, the best physicians employed and ey-
cry remedy used for such diseases tried but to no
avail Mrs. Jackson got no relief Some months
ago she read an advertisement in one Of the daily
papers of the many being cured by Doctors
Smith and McMullen, the magnetic physicians at
the U. 3. Hotel. AS many of these cures were of
quite miraculous nature, she thought she
would as very last resort, try again. Mrs. Jack
sons recovery was wonderful to say the least.
She commenced to feel better from the first, and
in a very short time was entirely well and has
remained the same every since. Mrs. Jackson
is an old lady of IL Still she now does all OF her
own work about the house and is in every way
well and strong This cure was made some
months ago, and is given again, as many were
skeptical as to its lasting. Doctors Smith and

Northern and Southern Democrats in

perhaps embitter them against the bill
to such an extent as to jeopardize or
defeat its ena ctment. Yet, conscious OF
this-and ho must have been conscious
Of 1t, inasmuch as he is not fool-he
deliberately pursued course calcu-
lated to accomplish the very thing he
professcd to desire to avoid. Why did
Mr.. Ingalls, do thisp Simply because
he wished to create an issue which he
hoped would be helpful to the Repub-
lican party. He fancied that II
by insulting and angering them
he could only goad the DEM
ocrats into defeating the bill,
the Republicans would then have a
basis on which to ground an appeal
for the support Of all those who fought
in the Union army. He would subject
the helpless veterans to indefinite inn
poverishmcnt and suffering for the
sake of an advantage to the political
organization to which he owes his
present official position and upon
which he depends for still higher hon-
ors. Is it any exaggeration to say
that this man is the enemy and not the
friend OF the soldierp He pretends to
favor the bill. yet hopes for its defeat.
He pleads for the veteran, yet adopts a
policy which he must know will in
sure denial of the veterans demand.

The OLD FLAGS.

Sickening Mennness Of the Latter.Day
Bloody Shirt Saints.
From the reply of the Secretary of
War to the Boutelle resolution re-
specting the return of Confederate
flags, it appears that in 1867 Secretary
Stanton issued an order permitting
the return of number of them. This
will be news to the Republican Shrek
ers who were so loud in their denun-
ci alton of President Cleveland for Civ
ing his consent to the order of the
Secretary Of War proposing the return
of all flags, Union and Confederate, to
the capitols Of the proper States Sec
retary Stanton having been "trooly
loil" even during the days of recon-
struction, it will be rather difficult for
the Republicans to find fault with
President Cleveland for doing just
what Secretary Stanton did two years
after the close of the war.
When the "great war Secretary F"
returned the Confederate flags, Thad-
deus Stevens was the leader of the Re-
publican party in Congress. He was
the bosom friend of Secretary Stanton
and each had the others confidence.
The return of the flags in 1867 was not
made without the knowledge of Thad-
deus Stevens, but the "great COM
moner" did not rise in his place to Of
fer resolution condemning the action
of Secretary Stanton OF even to pro-
pose an inquiry into his conduct. Bit
terly as Thaddeus Stevens hated the
South he was incapable of the ineffable
meanness Of censuring the Secretary of
War for performing an act calculated
to restore good feeling between the es-
tranged sections of the country.
1t remained for the latter-day Re-
publican saints to hold up their hands
in holy horror at the proposition of the
war office to return the captured flags
of both armies to the States to which
they properly belong What Edwin
M. Stanton did and Thaddeus Stevens

COOPERATIVE MINING.
A Peculiar Chinese Society Which Is 6ver
Two Centurles Old,

IA friend gives me most interest

"of a Chinese community which he
visited in 1862, in the interior of Borneo.
There were some six hundred of them
engaged in working gold mine on the

coolie had one. Other members of the
community had more shares. according
to their relative usefulness and duties.
For instance, the schoolmaster had
three shares. the engineer who SUPER

the most systematic way; the members
submitted to the most strict discipline

this, he said that he went to see the
workings, and, as he was the second
