TATE SPRINGS, TENN, July 4, 1888.
The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ca:
Gentlemen-Seven years ago contracted
an exceedingly bad case of blood poison /
tried a physician, the best at command, but
secured no benefit. My throat began to
get sore, and my body covered with sores
and ulcers. Going from bad to worse, 1
felt that my grave must be reached in the
near future. | gave up the doctors treat
ment, and with a despairing hope l COM
menced taking your medicine. L began to
improve from the first bottle, and in short
time the ulcers healed, ald my skin cleared
off and was entirely well.
One year ago a case of catarrh developed
in my system. The physician did his best,
but could not cure me; but two bottles of
Swift's Specific gave me permanent relief.

Net Third Party Men.

Chaplain McCabe, general secreta-
ny of the Methodist Episcopal church
missionary society, contradicts the
assertion that the resolution passed
by the last general conference was in
tended in any sense as an endorse
ment of the Prohibition third party.
He says:
We believe in Prohibition, but large ma
jority also believe in the Republican party and
think at this time the urgent need is to get
this government out of Democratic control.
As Mr.. Lincoln put it, Zone war at q time -
Some of us may favor local option, and some
oppose it, but there are few of us who are
IN favor of a third party a temperance aid
at this juncture- OF our eighteen bishops
hve-sixths probably are opposed to such
tlon ticket, but the majority, think, may be
counted squarely against it.
For himself he said his influence
would go for the Republican ticket.
''What better exampler," asked he,
''of the temperance cause can be
found than General Harrison? Has
anybody ever insinuated that his
whole life has not been pure and tenn
perate? think that the great major
ity of our people in the northern states
feel as l do about it, and that their
vote will go that way.

VERMONT's CENTENNIAL.-Ver
was admitted into the union of states
March 4, 1871. 1t is proposed to cele-
brate the occasion in fitting manner at
the capital. If so, the Legislature soon
to convene should inaugurate measures
to that end. The time for making suit
able arrangements would be too short
between the assembling of the IegisIa
ture in 1890 and the 4th of March follow

Such drain of capital from the state
is one of the large factors of the farm
depreciation. 1t is a difficult thing to
remedy because it has gone so far, to-
gether with the steady outflow of indi-
Vidual money, that it is no doubt diff
cult. as the banks claim, to make safe
investments at home, and every year
that the foreign investment continues
will make the home investment still
more difficult and risky. Mr.. Pages
idea is to place a limit against its going
any further, by fOrbidding more than 40
per cent. to be invested in western mort
cages. As a whole, this would prevent
the banks going further in this direc-
ton, while it would compel some of
them, in some portions of the state, to
take backward steps, much to the bene-
fit of their localities.
Mr.. Page well summarizes the argu-
ment from the bank side when he says:
Now, whatever may be claimed in behalf of
western mortgages, the time has certainly
come when we should apply to this matter
the homely maxim which teaches that we
should not put too many eggs in one basket.
We should not lose sight of the well
known principle which should always govern
savings banks, that large dividends are of sec

wise is to invite a run upon the weaker insti-
buttons upon the slightest indication of
approaching financial disturbance.
He makes several other recommends
lions worthy of the legislatures atten-
ton, the most important of which is to
restrict dividends to per cent. until a
net reserve is accumulated of at least
6 per cent. without counting furniture,
fixtures. premiums or uncOllected inter

cent. dividends until the reserve reaches
10 per cent. He advises that invest
ments in county and city bonds in New
York, Ohio, Minnesota and Michigan as
permitted under careful limitations,
where the debt does not exceed 5 per
cent. of the valuation, was not raised in
aid of railroads &C., SC.

The States Savings Banks.

We take from the Brattleboro Re
former of last week the following
article on Vermont's savings banks.
1t is made up from Mr.. Pages annual
report and will prove of interest to
our readers -
Finance Inspector Pages annual re-
port, of which the summary is at hand,
without the tables in detail, shows S16,
6O2, O67 76 to the credit of 81 $50 depOs
itors in the % savings banks and trust
companies of the state. Three new
banks have been organized during the
year at st. Adams, st. JOhnSbury, and
White River Junction; the number of
depOSitOrS has increased by 3,71O in the
past year, and S,067 in two years, and
the deposits 81, OILS, 0l6.S3 in the year,
and 81, 34S, 104.29 in two years. DepOS-
itors within the state have ST., SSS, 1865
to their credit, an increase of 1886, $40. SO
i'll the year and 81 ,9SS, 229 SO in two years.
The deposits from nOn-residentS amount
to 50, Us, SSH, an increase of S129, 1873.
81 in one wear and 1855, 81. 33 in two
years. The average amount to each de-
pOsitOr is S2SS.63, a decrease, but still
larger than in New York or any other
state in New England except Rhode
Island, where there is no limit on the
amount each depOSitOr may have. Two
of the banks paid five per cent. dlvl-
dends; eleven, a; two, II; and three,
per cent. One of the trust companies
has paid 10 per cent. to stockholders
two, s four, 6; one, 5; one 3; and one
has passed dividends. The guaranty or
surplus reserve, required by the act of
1884, now amounts to $500, 81.
Mr.. Page finds the management OF the
banks to be generally cOmmendable for
its conservatism and integrity, but he
still thinks the western mortgage bust
ness is in danger of being OverdOne, and
he reiterates his sensible recommended
lions of previous years on this subject.
There has been an increase of SIPS, 6S1.
05 in loans upon mortgages on vermont
real estate, but the proportion OF this
class of investments shows failing off,
as it has done steadily for several years.
The percentage of investments of all
kinds is shown at a glance by the follow
ing table:
1884. 1885. 1886. 1887. 1885,

In the genial climate of southwest Ireland, warmed by the pro1- imity of the Gulf stream, many varieties of colored ducks are seen in the farm yards of the peasantry. These ducks are cross breds ordinary white ducks with a strain of the numerous wild fowl which frequent this neighborhood, mallard, migrating ducks de- tained from crossing the channel by storm etc. The plumage of these cross breds is bril-, liant and varied; magpie wings, green heads and blue wing feathers, pheasant breasts and indefnable tints are to be obtained. An asso- ciation called the Bandon Duck Eggs com. pany has lately been formed at Bandon, the center of this favored district, with the ob ject of exporting to England the eggs and also broods of ornamental farmyard ducks Boston Transcript

The Idiotic Topical Song.

The impression that all topical songs, ' which form a prominent feature of the comic operas, so called are written in asylums for idiots is not quite correct, though the qual ity of most of the songs certainly gives color to it. The nursery rhyme is bad enough perhaps, but ill comparison with the average topical song it is a gem of purest ray serene Every time 1 attend comic opera I want tc go out when the topical song begins. In the first place the alleged singer has no more voice for melody than an old crow, and il the second place the words he pretends tc sing are either idiotic, or, in a literary sense mere rubbish.

 GALEsBURG, July 1s.-United States Mar shal Maren and two detectives brought h. former Bowles here to test the truth of his story that a dynamite cartridge had been placed on the Burlington track, northeast of here, and subsequently,, in consequence of fear of results, had been concealed in & hedge.
 The officers and railroad men went to the spot that BowleS indicated, and, after con siderable digging, found the dynamite cart ridge. It is of the Hercules kind, and has caps at both ends. It is now ill the hands of the railroad officials. The sheriff and other officers then went to the home of George Clarke, one of the leading Brotherhood en- gineers, and put him under arrest on a state warrant. Clarke made no resistance, and would say nothing save to assert his inuo- cence.
 Chief Arthur says: II am very sorry to think that any member of our order has done an overt act. I do not know yet whether the strike will be declared off or not"
 District Attorney Ewing said that there never was any reason to suppose that the Brotherhood as an organization knew any thing of the conspiracy or countenanced it in any way. All the persons who attended the conference agree in saying that no proposi tion was submitted by either party. 1t was simply an amicable discussion pf the situa tion." said Alexander Sullivan.

Might Better Have Paid the Debt.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July 1S.-President Cleveland has pardoned out of the peniten- tiary Postmaster B. Shiery, who was con- victed of arson last April and sentenced to thirteen months in the state prison. Shiery was postmaster and a leading merchant at Warner, Ark. As the evidence showed, he became involved in debt, and employed one Geo. Harrison to fire the store and postofice agreeing to pay $50 for the service. Har- rison carried out the plot. There was an in surance of s1, 800 on the stock of goods car. ried by Shiery, which he partially collected Harrison gave the plot away because Shiery paid him only $25, and saved himself by turning states evidence
