Within the past year, among the thou
sands of hearty testimonials to the Won
derful curative powers of Paine's Celery
Compound that have been received by
Wells, Richardson & Company-among
the thousands of grateful letters receiv-
ed from every state and town in the
country, there have come no less than
six hearty Endorsements from members
of the national house of representa- tives.
An were willing that their experience
should be published, believing rightly
that they might thus do good to others.
In these columns have already been
published the letters received from Con-
gressmen Meredith, Bell, Grout and Pow
ers.
Now comes letter from Congressman
Robert Neill, of Arkansas. as follows;
MY home is at Batesville, Ark. Dur
ing the last spring and summer my eld-
est daughter, then II years of age, was
in very poor health, suffering from gen
eral debility, nervous prostration and
frequent slight fevers. She had the best
medical attention, bat apparently with
little benefit. In the after part of Sep
TENDER last, while still feeble, she be-
gan the use of Paines Celery Compound
and improved in health continuously.
In three months she had fully recovered,
and is now in perfect health. am bound

CONSOLIDATED BANKS STATEMENT.

New York, March 23.-The New York
Financier says this week,
The statement of the associated banks
of New York city for the week ending
March 20 shows marked reduction in
reserve the cash holdings having de-
creased not less than $5.7S5,900. The
surplus reserve shows a similar con-
traction, the loss for the week, 1864, SIS,
bringing the excess cash in the banks
to SIS 1886, which is over S9.000,000 less
than was reported three weeks ago. In
this period loans have increased about
the same amount, while deposits are
only $500 900 heavier. The loss of nearly
Sc 600 900 in cash during the last week is
easily accounted for, The banks paid
about Sc, 900 900 to the treasury on account
of the custom house Withdrawals on
bonded goods. and as this money involved
q transfer of funds out of bank, rather
than the opening of credits, which would
swell the deposits account, the loss was
actual and reduced the net cash hold
ings
The movement which resulted in these
sudden payments into the custom house
on the part of importers has appare ntly
run it's course. AS 1t necessi;ated bor-
rowings in nearly the same amount as
the payment of duties, corresponding
increase was looked for in the loan total,
but the increase as shown by the state
ment was only $457 800. The only infer
ence, therefore, is that there has been
considerable liquidation in other loans.
Since the first of March the loan expan-
sion has been $S,759,000, but as $4,000, 900

BACK IN THE MINES.
The Escaped Pratt Mines Convict Is Re
captured in the Capital
City.

Sam Burke, this negro convict who
escaped from the Pratt mines last Sat
urday, was captured in Montgomery and
returned to this city yesterday. Deputy
Sheriff r. G. Waldrop went to Montgom-
cry and brought him back and Mr. p. j.
Rogers, superintendent of the MINIS, took
him away yesterday afternoon.
. When Burke escaped from the trestle
upon which he was working, he made
his way towards the south and finally
landed in Montgom=r trusted negro
attache of the sheriff's department To-
Gated Burke and followed him continual
ly until they both landed at what is
known as Red Bridge. Here the negro
managed to secure a rop= and bound
one of Burke's arms when the latter
showed fight. He was about to again
escape when a white man and another
sgro came up and securely held him.
A telephone message brought Officers
Reeves and Taylor, the mounted men of
the Capital City force. to the scene and
Burke was safely landed in prison.
Yesterday afternoon he was returned
to tn mines to complete his original sem
tence for burglary committed in Mont
gOmery.

to think the remedy is an excellent one,
and do not hesitate to recommend it to
the suffering"
To postpone at such vital time as
this regulating the nerves and purifying
the blood Is a serious mistake. Men and
women distressed by nervous troubles or
the effects of impure blood cannot afford
now to lose a day before taking advan-
tage of Paine's Celery Compound
In order to avoid disappointment ac-
cept nothing but Paine's Celery Com
pound. A clerk who tries to sell some
thing else than what people ask for is
evidently not disintarested. He has an
eye to profits more than to the good of
customers.
There can be no substitute for Paine's
Celery Compound.
This has been shown time and time
again in cases where persons too easily
led, have carried home something be-
sides Paine's Celery Compound, and
have failed to get the decided benefit
they had hoped for.
The strongest Endorsement ever receiv-
ed for this great spring remedy-and no
remedy ever compared with Paine's Gel
cry Compound in the character and the
number of the witnesses to its efficiency
the strongest Endorsement it ever re-
ceived did not overestimate or exagger-
ate in the least its unrivaled power of
making people well.

In short time tho answer came back

How the Grizzly Eats Peanuts.


A man who stood in front of the bear
pit at the menagerio in Central park was
greatly Interested in observing just how
the big grizzly bear took the peanuts that
one Of the visitors was handing to him.
Tho bear stood UP at en- angle Of about 40
degrees, hind fest on the floor of the pit,
one fore foot resting on the stone ledge in
which the bars of the cage are imbedded,
the other extended through the bars to
take the peanuts. Ho did not clutch them
under his claws and then turn the claws
inward upon the ball Of his foot, but when
he reached out through the bars he spread
his claws apart sideways, as one might
spread the fingers Of his hand apart. Tho
visitor would place peanut between two
of the claws, and then the bear would
close the claws together, as one would
close the fingers of his outstrotchcd hand.
He would hold tho peanut between two
claws in the same manner that man
sometimes holds cigar between two fin
gers. Holding it thus, the bear would
carry the peanut to his mouth then,
thrusting his raw out between the bars
again, he would open his claw out side
ways cs before, waiting for another.
II suppose it must lie an acquired taste, +"
said G solemn faced bystandcr, referring to
the bears apparent fondness for peanuts.
II don't know" said another man.
"I'm not SO sure bit what there arc Some
places where grizzlies live that peanuts
grow.
"That may be, said the solemn faced
man, "but m sure there's no place where
they grow baked. Now York Sun.
