when we come at last to believe that
the true mission of nations as of men is
to promote righteousness on earth; that
ccrferring liberty IS wiser than making
gain: that new friends are better for us
than new markets; that love is more ele-
waiting than hatred; that peace Is nobler
than war; that the humblest human life
Is sacred: that the humblest human right
should be respected-then our own beloved
country can worthily discharge the sacred
mission confided to her and by her true
dignity and grandeur, setting her feet
Ercn the shining pathway which 'eads TO
the Sunlit SUBMITS OF the olive oun-
tains and taking abundant care that
every human creature beneath her starry

THE first difficulty / meet with In tn =
proper tres tment of nervous prUstrat: :on
IL to get my patients rid of the many
nerVines, stlInulants and sedatives to
which they have usually become accus-
toned before consulting me. II would be
difficult to over-estimate the damage
these drugs do in such cases. Brotnldes,
yalerinates, chloral, opium in every foim
caffeine, cocaine and many others are
all alike Of great injury and Of no possible
good.
ITO get all these and many other slmi.

In their stead IS the first thing to be ae-
complished. Shortly after Peruna Is be-
etin the appetite becomes regular, the
sleep natural, and every disasreeable
sym ptom improved. 1eruha Is perfect
specific for these cases and Is absolutely
invincibe. There are no failures where
these directions are faithfully followed.
The Improvement Is prompt and the pa
tient can rest assured that q. perfect cure
will follow a persistent use Of It,.
"Peruna contains no PHOSPHORUS,
strychnina, or quinine to temporarily ex-
alt the nervous system. but acts perma-
ncntly by restoring the normal conditions.
II contains no narcotic or sedative, and
does not derange the action of any bodily
function during its use"

How eager the Commissioner OF PEN
sious is to catch at every pretext TO deny
veteran pension is forcibly illustrated
by the case of John ". Payne. n Union
man Of Arkansas, which we give else
where, in Assistant Secretary Campbell's
decision, oyerruling the Commissioner.
1t appears from the evidence that Payne
was one Of those brave, determined Loyal
lists of the South to whom the Nation
owes such peculiar debt of gratitude. 1t
was easy enough to be loyal north of the
Ohio River. But to be loyal in Virginia,
Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, and other
rebel States, required the greatest hero
ism and devotion to the Flag. Nowhere
were loyal men subjected to greater trials
OF their faith than in Arkansas, where
the Union men were surrounded by a
horde OF Border RufIlans, ready to com
NIT any outrage upon those who were
true to their country.
John w. Payne and number of other
devoted Union men lived in the heart OF
the State, and for nearly two years after
the war broke out the Union armies did
not approach nease2 than 140 miles Of
them.
In the meanwhile the rebels were strain
ing every nerve TO force all the men in
the country into the army Payne and
his companions evaded them for more
than year. by abandoning their homes.
and lying out in the mountains. At last
/ the measures of the rebels became too
stringent, and in 1868 Payne and his com
panions decided to enlist in a rebel com

| There is no evidence that this company

the rebel army, except a roll which has
| been found for December, 1863. which,
/ however, does not bear Payne's name. At
! the very most he could not have been
mere than six weeks in the company, when
he escaped, enlisted in the Union army,
and served to the end of his term, when
he was honorabIy discharged. There is
not shred of written evidence on file
showing that he served in the rebel army,
by the claimants own frank statement
that he was compelled to enlist in the
rebel army in order to make his way to
the Union lines.
Ignoring all Of the claimants more than
two years Of service for the Union, the
Commissioner denies him his pension be-
cause of this few weeks of alleged serv-
ice for the rebellion, for which the De
partment has not particle of document
ary proof.
As we have said before, this illustrates
how the Commissioner will jump at any
pretext for denying a veteran a pension.
he claims that he is merely obeying
the law, but the real lawyer of the De-
partment OF the Interior, the Assistant
Secretary, points out that he is violating
the law and outraging the ordinary rules
