The life of Gen. sherman.

The enterprising Pacific Publishing Co.,, of Portland and San Francisco, are again to the front. This time 1t is with the LIFE OF GENERAL SHERMAN" written by the deceas- ed General Howard, assisted by that most popular of all biographers, W. Fletcher Johnson, Author of 'The Johnstown Flood" and the Life of Sitting Bull and the Indian War;" also brought out on this coast by the Pacific P Iblishing Go. A greatful na- tion is at all times ready to honor the memory of her brave sons who, during life have followed the Stars and Strips upon the gory field of battle; and this is particularly the case with the last of the great War Heroes who has just been summoned by the grim call of death to throw off this mortal coil, full of years; full of honor; full of glory; full of the love, affection and gratitude of his fellow citizens; full of everything, indeed, that goes to en sure an enviable immortality to the memory of the departed.
 This beautiful work just issued by our friends, the Pacific Publishing O., will be no mean factor in keeping green for many years to come the story of the late generals early life, his great war record at Bull Run, at Shiloh, at Memphis, at Vicksburg, at Chattanooga, at Knoxville, at Mis- sionary Ridge, at Atlanta, and last but very far from the least, that glorious and immortal "March to the Sea-" the generaIship and military grandeur of which has probably never been Surpassed in the annals of Wal fare. All these matters are most graphically and vividIy dealt with by the able authors; and when it is re- membered that General Howard has. with the consent of the late generals | family, had access to all the private diaries and correspondence of General Sherman for the purpose of enabling him to do justice to the suhjact he had taken in had there can be no doubt but that the hook under notice is an authentic and reliable biography of the deceased soldier. It is illustrated by 1 portraits, battle scenes, etc, from end | to emp. The steel plate engraving of the late General, from photograph taken ust before his last illness in his | generals uniform is a very fine like ness, and a muster piece of the en- graver's art
 The book should find its way into every patriotic home in the country. See the publishers advertisement in another column.

To be cautious in the choice of medi- cines. Many are injured by trying ex- periments with compounds purporting to be blood purifiers, the principal recommendation of which would seem to be their "cheapness. Being made up of worthless, though not always harmless, ingredients, they may well be "cheap;" but, in the end, they are dear. The most reliable medicines are costly, and can be retailed at mod crate prices, only when the manufactur- ing chemist handles the raw materials in large quantities. It is economy, therefore,

During Holy Week the ceremonies in the Crtholic Church at this place were very impressive. On Holy Thursday, beautifully decorated al ter, with the Blessed Sacrament re- called the scene of the last supper, of which it is an anniversary. The sol emn prayer of Friday conveyed in their deep mean ng of devotion, the sadness of our Saviours passion. On Saturday the Church already anticipates the resurrection, which is rendered vividly in the melodious hymns of the Gregor- lan chant; also Easter holy water Is blessed according to the rights of the Catholic Church. The inside of the church has been improved of fate. The walls are decorated with fourteen beautiful pictures representing the passion of Oar Saviour. The main aisle IS covered with mating and the sanctuary has received one of the best brussells carpets that we have ever seen. The property of J. Sullivan has been bought for a parsonage, and Father Dolje has already started to improve it, and 1t will be one of the ;oSiest cottages in Flagstaff.

The report is very exhaus- tive, covering the transactions of the treasury for sixteen years, and re- veals . great many improper p,ac- tices. The report shows a shortage ei $l3S, 900. but says there are $l0l,- 900 of assets in which Woodruff may have equities. The definite shortage which must without doubt be settled by his boadsmen is $37 1000, this in addition to the s63. 3.000 paid by his hondsmen in February last. The shortages cover the entire period of Woodruf's term of office, ten years, and will have to be met by all the bondsmcn.

The sub-Treasury Scheme.

There are many remedies suggest ed for the present distress. |: is earnestly contended by large ele- msnt of our people that congress should issue sl, ,000, ,0O0. 900 of paper money and lend it on land or crops as security. This policy is founded on tho principle that the hair of the dog is good for the bite. They say that they are in debt and that it is impossible by labor to produce enough surplus to pay themselves out of debt, and the only way to get out Is to get further in. Very sensi- bic people sometimes say and do very absurd things, and can hard ly conceive of anything more absurd than the government attempting to relieve the distress of the people by issuing paper promises which it can not redeem.
 Or for the people to become pros porous by going in debt to the gov ernment ss well as to each other. II our people cannot by their labor pay existing debts, how can they pay more debts unless their labor be comes more valuable2 If borrowing money would afford to each borrow CT constant labor and increased wages. then borrowing would be & good thing. but until that fact shall be established I shall stand immova ble on the doctrine of Benjaman Franklin: "rhat he who goes Dor rowing, goes sorrowing.

About Silver.

Batesville Guard: The New York democratic platform makes this dec laration as to silver:
 "We now as then, steadfastly ad- here to principles of sound finance. We are against the coinage of any silver dollar which is not of the in trinsic value of any other dollar of the United States"
 This Is a demand that more silver be put into the silver dollar, so that it's intrinsic value shall equal that of the gold dollar. If that were done we could the sooner make the coin age of silver free and unlimited. The silver mine owner is the only person benefited by the present law, which puts only 80 cents worth of silver in to the silver dollar, and thus gives the miner an actual bonus of 20 per cent. It does the people no good whatever

Poisoned by ScrofuIa

Is sad story of many lives made
 miserable through no fault of their own. Scrofula is more especially than any other hereditary disease, and for this simple reason: Arising from impure and insufficient blood, the disease locates itself in the lynn phatics, which are composed Of white tissues; there is a period of foetal life when the whole body con- sists of white tissues, and therefore the unborn child is especially sus- ceptible to this dreadful disease. But there is remedy for scrofula, whether hereditary or acquired. It is Hoods Sarsaparilla, which by it's powerful effect on the blood, expels all trace of the disease and gives to the vital fluid the quality and color ot health If you decide to take Hoods Sarsaparilla do not accept any substitute.

VOLUME IT.
The south of the River Trade.


 The Dardsnslle Post heads it's article of last week "The North of the River trade" and following the example of tho esteemed Post, we extract the following from said ar ticle except some slight and eminent ly reasonable aud proper changes In th. names, which causes the artlcls to convey the suitable meaning, and to read thusly:
 "Now, if your merchants over at Dsrdsnelle can beat our Russsllville merchants selling goods cheap and paying high prices for cotton then thsy will get tue trade, and don't you forget to remember 1t. On the other hand there is 6 vice versa about this thing and our people have locked arms with the good people of old Yell by means of that great water Highway, the pontoon bridge, winch obiterates county lines, anBihilstes distance, obviates delay, and was built with the hearty co opera. ton of the DardsnslIe Post eff we remember correctly for the pur- pose of destroying the ferry interests of one of Pope's leading citizens. Come over and try our merchants; compare prices, and let the longest pole knock the persimmon. Then if the bulk of the trade leaves Russell. .yille it will be because 1t ought to leave her, and that's all there is to 1t. It's no use to mince matters nor to be uncandid. Our opinion is, that Russellville has serious designs on the trade of Yell county and of course Darda nells will be expected to kick"
 All ot which, Brother Davis, Is eminsntly correct, full Of common sense and breathes a spirit of far ness quite creditable to you. It is just what your citizens are saying on our streets today and every day for that matter. It is . kind of re. ciprocsl arrangement that strikes the trading public favorably. Let's have it, and lots of it.
