THE evil of publishing the exagger.
ated and untruthful stories about the
war in China are; that they may delay
the despatch of an army to relieve the
besieged foreigners at Pekin; that they
may unnecessarily increase the cost Of
war preparations by the several powers
that they will beget an undue feeling
Of enmity and hatred toward China
and that it might result in q massacre
of Chinese in this country.

Ii HUNG CHANG, who visited Europe
and America several years since, who
was great friend of Gen. Grant, and
who is recognized as friend of foreign
ers and the greatest statesman In China,
has been ordered from Marking to
Peking by the Imperial Government to
take charge of Chilli, the Province in
which Peking is situated. He was 10th
to go, as he felt that his influence in
Southern China would enable him to
prevent an uprising of the Southern
Provinces in favor Of the Boxers. But
becoming convinced that he could do
more to serve China and prevent her
destruction, and more to bring about
peace and save the foreigners at Pc
king, by going there, on the order OF
the Imperial Government, he has taken
ship at Hong Kong for Taku, enroute
to Peking. He will doubtless exert a
considerable influence toward restoring
peace, but he does not stand as high
among the Chinese as he did before
his trip to Europe and America. BE
there saw so much of the enterprise,
intelligence, progress and power of the
Western Nations, that he became q
greater friend of foreigners than ever,
and turned the anti-foreign Chinese
against himself, and he was deposed
from his high position, as the leading
man of the nation, and made ruler o
only a district. His experience wa
much like that of Spotted Tail, th'
noted Indian chief, some twenty-five
years ago. The delegations of Indian
that went to Washington all came bacl
to the tribes with such Ito them) fabu
Ious stories about the great number o
white men, their cities, railroads
bridges, etc., that it was past belief
and they sent old Spotted Tail, thei
head chief, to learn the truth abou
the matter. When he came back AM
told them that the wlite men wer
more numerous than the leaves Of
the trees, they told him he was q big
ger liar than all the rest! So doubtless
when Ii returned to China, his storie
about the countries of the foreigner
only made the Chinese think that b
had turned in favor of the foreigners
and he at once lost influence with them
He is however recognized as q maj
of much wisdom and power, and he ma
vet exert great influence for good.

A lazy liver may be only tired liver, or a
starved liver. A stick is all right for the back
Of a lazy man. But it would be a savage as
we'll as stupid thing to beat weary man or
a starving man because he Jagged in his work.
So in treating the tagging liver it is great
mistake to lash it with drastic drugs. In
ninety mine cases out OF a hundred a torpid
or sluggish liver Is but symptom of an ILL
| nourished body, whose organs are weary with
| overwork. Let your liver alone. Start with
| the stomach and its allied organs of digestion
| and nutrition. Put them in proper working
order, and eee how quickly your liver will be-
come active and energetic. DR.. Pierce's Col
| den Medi"al Discovery has made many mar
velous cures Of ''liver trouble by its wonder

triton. 1t restores the normal activity OF
the stomach, increases the secretions of the
blood making glands, cleanses the system
| from poisonous accumulations and so relieve:
the liver of the burdens imposed upon it by
the detection Of other organs.
