Natures method of puriticatiOn and
consequent cure is founded on the rational
principle of judcious gation;and when
it is considered that the best physicians
pursue the practice of attention to the
stomach and bowels as preliminary land
often the only treatment Of disease, it is
not difficult to perceive that q remedy
possessing all the requisites Of a purgatiye
and Alternative, in addition to other and
valuable remedial influence, must obtain
for itself more than ordinary reconsideration
and favor. Our remedy combines every
quality required for the treatment of dis
ease on the abOye-named rational princi-
pie. 1t is a pleasant Cathartic, active
or gentle, according to the dose; it is a
Blood purifier, toning and enriching this
fluid by its Alternative property; its action
on the Liver is soothing and certain, pro-
noting the Biliary secretions; ii is safe
andreliable Emmenagogue, acting specif-
cally upon the uterine system; it affords
the greatestattainable relief in Dyspepsia,
and cures whenever used as directed;
and in conjunction with hygicnic means
is the best preventive Of Constipation
that can be suggested.


From the above it would then appear
that the simplest method to cure sickness
Is that tone which combines judicious pur-
CATION with physical sustenance, and the
observance Of hygienic measures; the
head should be kept cool, the feet warm,
and the bowels open; and when treating

The New York Tribune publishes
the following.


John w. Garrett, president of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, stated
to reporter yesterday that, as far
as his road was concerned, he was
thoroughly satisfied with the railway
apportiOnment scheme, and if there
was ANY dissatisfaction among the
managers OF any of the trunk lines,
he had not been informed of it. Re
ferring to the recent heavy loan
negotiated in London by the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company,
he stated that the amount was 81 ,6G0,-
00e, and the bonds bore interest at
five per cent. Thus far, he said, the
company had paid off almost the
entire floating debt, and the balance
would be used in extending the road
and largely increasing its equip
ments. When asked whether the
company had been negotiating for a
partly graded air line from Chicago
Junction, through illinois and Ohio,
to ii point thirty miles from Pitts
burg, he gave reply to the effect
that the business of the road had in
creased so greatly that it was found
necessary to make several eXten-
sions. He denied that the object of
the company in erecting mammoth
elevators at Baltimore was to draw
trade from New York, and SAID:
"Baltimore has interests which at
tract to her certain portions of the
surrounding territory, and it has be-
come a fixed principle that the
shorter the distance the more econ
omical the management. New York
has and always will have great ad-
vantage by reason of her fine harbor,
easy access to the ocean and immense
stocks of all classes of goods, and
the competition Of Baltimore, Bos-
ton or Philadelphia will not greatly
injure her."

The New York Herald thinks that
we shall have a lively time at the
meeting of the extra session, and
that Congress will sit continuously
from the 10Th of October, until the
Christmas holidays. 1t says there
will not be much delay over the
army appropriation, but there is a
general belief in Republican circles
that the appointments of the presi-
dent will be the occasion ofan organ
lied wal on the Administration in
the Senate, and that many ofthe
Presidents nominations will be re.
jected.


If this expectation should he real

B The Bulletin wants it distinctly understood
that it is in favor of Christianity. This will be
cheering news to Christianity. But the Chief
wishes it distinctly understood that its columns
are open for the defence of all men who are

franchised for opinions sake, whether they be
orthodox or skeptic. The Bulletin may sound its
trumpet for Christianity, and violate eight of

IT is not clear how the:interests of the
working men are furthered by movements
like that at Buffalo. There men who were
never in the employ of railroads drove the
workmen of the New York Central from
their posts, workmen who cherished no
grievance and had no disposition to strike.
This course, it seems to the observer, will in
crease instead of diminishing the distress in
the families of workingmen. The tyranny
which forbids the laborer to work, to earn
money with which to support his family is
far worse than the tyranny which compels
him to choose between insufficient wages and
no wages at all.

Those who sre familiar with society
in Washington can not avoid observing
that all the girls have attenuated forms.
We who are accustomed to the fine de-
velopments of western and southern
women, look with astonishment at the
thin arms and scraggy necks that are
exposed to view. To render the atten-
uation more apparent, young ladies
have adopted the close-cling skirts and
corset-waists laced down the back.
Thus attired our girls can re likened to
nothing but an exclamation point.
There Is as much symmetry of form in
one as the other. When these girls
dance the German, humane persons
are inclined to petition the gentlemen
to handle them with care, lest they
break in two at the fifteen-inch waist.
Handsonely-trimmed basques would
be far more becoming to these girls
than the corsetwaist, which, with
them, scarcely requires any expansion
from the waist to the hips. Such
style of dress was only intended for
embonpoint and not for the fragile.

For some days past an unknown
female has been III the habit of max
ing an afternoon trip on the Woodward
avenae cars, generally getting aboard at
Jefferson avenue and riding to Brady
street. The first two or three times she
paid her fare promptly enough but the
next trip she wrote something on
card, handed it to a gentleman, and he
paid her fare. The next trip she waited
till the driver rang the fare-bell, and
when she saw him looking through the
door she advanced and held up a card
on which WAS written:


al am deaf and dumb"


The driver didn't want to create r.
scene, and she rode as a dead-head.
Next day she went through the same
performance, but when she boarded the
car the third afternoon he was ready
for her. He had every reason to be-
lieve her fraud, as she had been heard
to speak in a car coming down. When
she entered the car she took a seat and
began reading, seeming to have no
earthly interest in the fare question.
There are no conductors ON the route,
and the driver controls both doors. Be-
fore Brady street WAS reached the un-
known female was the only passenger.
She rose and rang the bell at the street,
but the driver paid not the least heed.
She rang again, and he hurried up the
horse. Then she tried to pull the bell
off the car, but the man never turned
his head The woman rushed to the
door and pushed and tugged till she
was red in the face, but not an inch
would it bulge. Rushing 10 the front
door, she pounded the glass in a furious
manner, and by and by the driver "ac-
cidentally" looked around. She ges-
tured wildly, and as he shook his head
| in stupid way, she held up her card,
which said: | am deaf and dumb"
The driver fumbled around for two or
three minutes and brought out small
placard on which was printed:


$50 am / %


They were then about half a mile
above Brady street, making excellent
time, and the woman's indignation
was 80 great that she shook her fist at
the driver, and screamed out:


"Tll have you shot for this !"
He held up his card, shook his head,
and paid no further attention to her
blood curdling threats. At the turn
table, mile and a half above Brady
street, the door slid back, and the
woman jumped into the mud. She
blessed that man from crown to sole,
and blessed all his relatives back to tie
Revolution, but ne did not seem to
hear her. AS he started off, she called
out:

card from his pocket, and she was not
too far away to read the answer:

The Tribune on Sunday informed the
country that Grant never lost battle. AS
Grant was licked at Belmont, and again at
Shiloh, and suffered two disastrous repulses
in his assaults in May, 1868, before Ficks-
burg, it is seen that the Iribune'S assertion
ia somewhat ut variance with the facts.
The strategist OF that sheet also asserts that
Grants "theory was that battle should
always cost the enemy more that 1t cost him."
and vet it is the fact that just the reverse is
the truth. Grant was always willing to lose
three men in order to kill one OF the enemy,
basing his Willingness upon his celebrated
utterance that his "cat's tail" was the
.Hongest." Had Grant not been possessed OF
mere than twice as many men rs Lee the
latter might have taken Washington in place
OF the former taking Richmond. 1t was
four to one that drove Lee back; and even
then Richmond would scarcely have been
taken had not Sherman commenced moving
from the South. Grant was not strateglst
in any sense of the word. All he knew OF
war was to keep "hammering" away, con-
scious only OF the fact that in the emu SUI
periority in numbers and in supplies must
give success. In truth, our late war, out
Side of Shcrman's Atlanta campaign, had
very little strategy in if. In nearly all other
instances it was simply case OF give and
take, in which not gameness but weight
had the best OF it.


Won Moltke is credited with saying that
our war was simply the mad contact OF two
armed mobs. Always except Sherman's
movements, that is pretty much all there


was Of it. The soldiers OF Europe VIII
certainly look on Grant with much curiosity
as man who lost more lives and accom-
plished less for the sacrifice than in any war
known to history. They certainly cannot


have any admiration for his military genius,
for the reason that they will not be apt to


regard mere stoldity, mere willingness TO
lose three men to kill one OF the enemy,
as any evidence of ability. He will
undoubtedly attract much attention;


but, as said, it will be rather curiosity than
anything else. Grant, as shown by history,


lacks in all the purely intellectual qualities


OF 6rst-class soldier. He has no culture
to recommend him in other respects. 1t Is
very wel-known fact that the men with
whom he has associated since the war, who
have been his friends and intimates, have
not been men noted either for their social,
moral, or intellectual worth. Hence, Grant


has not had that opportunity which is at.
forded by contact with the more rehned
elements to acquire polish. Ee IS yet as
uncouth, or nearly so, as when he left bis


tanuery at Galena to take charge OF an Lii
