System Bonds is Unpaid.

PuLApELrnTA, May IA sensation

of the semi-anuual interest upon the four
and five per cent. bonds Of the Philadelphia,
Reading and New England road, Plough
keepsie system, of which 50 500, 900 are
outstanding.
The bonds were guaranteed for both
principal and interest by the Reading Com
pany. and the default based upon the
ground that the interest has not been earned.
This is in direct reputation Of ex-President
McLeod's last annual report, in which he
said the Bridge system was already earning
more than the changes guaranteed.
1t was later announced that the non pay
ment might not prove complete default,
since the subject has been under considera-
ton by the receivers, who are undecided as
to the relative position of the Bridge prop
erty to the railroad company. 1t may prove
instead of IL default that the interest may
only be deferred.
1t is also announced that the Reading
Company defaulted on the interest of it,
improvement skies. The amount of the is
sue was 80 .@6t zoe. Today the coupon
are being purchased at reduced rates by the
Reading Banking House. 1t is rumored
that action upon both bond issus will be
taken to force acceptance of a new plan OF
reorganization.

A., next 10 peace, We profit most from pain"
The best, however. is considered none
too good for free born American citizens :;
and the pursuit of joy and peace, as tn
constituent of happiness, is one of the in
alenable rights claimed for all men in the
immortal Declaration of Independence.
Mr.. Henry L. Weed of Belfast, Me-, has
had exceptional success in the pursuit Of
that without which, in general, neither en-
jovment nor happiness is possible,-goo
health. He is young man who. for thr
teen years, had been afflicted with rheuma-
tism, Indigestion, and cough, which last
was so constant and troublesome, particu-
larly since a severe attack of La Grippe,
that he was apprehensive of con-
sumption,-two members of his
family having died of that disease
He suffered almost constantly from rheu-
matism, which particularly affected his rigb.
foot, TO such an extent that he was fire.
qnently uBable to work for days and even
weeks at a time. He had been treated By
many regular physicians and had expended
a large amount of money for various popu-
lar patent medicines without receiving any
benefit from either. He says:
Saturday evening, Jan. IS, last, my
right foot was so swollen and painful tia.
could harlly stand upon it; and, on the
recommendation of Mr.. Il. II. Moody.
druggist, of Belfast, bought of him one
bottle each of R0doIfs Discovery aad

ed and the pain ceased, and l have not
