''Take 81 as the face Of the note get
the discount and proceeds at given rate

the rate required as in simple interest

picked away at the grubs at lively
rate. The caterpillars disappeared in
three days.

Those pains so commonly
felt about the different parts
of the body without any APP
parent cause are generally due
to a rundown state of the
health. The physical forces
need toning up, and there is
nothing better for producing

SPOILED BY SCOTT.
The Plan That Was to Establish a Dicta-
torship In Mexico.


torship In Mexico.
1t may surprise many readers to learn
that overtures were made to General Scott
by many MeXicans of position, and by
many American officers, to permanently
occupy Mexico and organize n new govern
ment. The scheme proposed to General
Scott was, in substance, this: 1t was sup
posed that upon the conclusion of treaty
of peace at least throe-fourths Of the Amer
lean army would be discharged, and that
n large portion of the officers would resign
and, with many of the men, would enter
the new army of Mexico, and enough 9th
ers could be recruited in the United States
to make the American contingent $4,000
strong, and to this might boadded a like
number of Mexican soldiers. With such
mn army it was suggested that Mexico
could he held and governed in an orderly
way and prosperity might DO assured.
The plan contemplated pronuncia-
mento, in which General Scott should de.
clare himself dictator of the republic for a
term of five years or more, to give time
for agitators to acquire pacific habits and
to learn to govern themselves and to re-
spect an orderly government, where tie
rights of property We're not only respected,
but fully protected.
Already in possession of the forts, ar
senals foundries, cities, mines and ports
of entry, with nearly all the arms, 1t was
not doubted that very general acquies-
cence would follow.
Grant was invited to several conclaves
of officers, but from tho first empbatically
declined to enter into the plot. He did not
purpose to change his allegiance or his
service or his flag, but meant, he said, to
return with the Fourth regiment to the
United States.
He had several reasons for this determi-
nation. He was essentially n conservative
thinker and was endowed with a remark
ably high sense of justice, and he had gen
uine contempt for any adventure which
had any flavor of dishonesty or bad faith
about it, and he would not consider for a
moment the project Of placing an alien
government over Mexico while the nation
