saving the most needy, is to be seen
in the work which the reverend
PREACHER invited lis hearers to take
a part in. That work is on associa-
tion composed not only OF clergymen,
but only Of sisters, of laymen, and
women who unite together in the
determination to reclaim the masses
who are perishing, and to preach the
gospel to the foreign race who are
dependent upon them for the truths
of Christianity.


St. Joseph's Society has not long
been founded. The first missionaries
whom it had educated have been
sent by the Sovereign Pontiff to the
colored people Of the United States.
As the society has received this mis-
sion, it may we'll look to the charita-
bic and Jealous Catholics Of this
country to assist by every means in
their power. It is a society for
gathering into itself and applying
the charity which must be widely
entertained among the Catholics OF
America to the millions Of Africans
who have been cast helpless upon So
ciety, and who need education and
religious care.


The preacher appealed to the gen
crosity and nobility Of the American
youth to come and enroll themselves
under the apostolic banner which
Christ entrusted to his apostles. No
life could be more nohly spent, none
would deserve brighter crown than
that which they might consecrate to
the salvation Of the poor colored peo-
pie. He asked Of the generous men
and women who are free from ties
to come forward and give themselves
to the work, and he begged OF all to
contribute literally toward the edu-
cation of missionaries, and toward
providing all those things which are
necessary for carrying on the mission
successfully. Many come from ELL
rope and give themselves to it, but
Americans are doubly bound to give
every help they can, and to make
even great sacrifices for tho sake OF
the millions who are their fellow
subjects and an internal part of their
population.

has been the Most Corrupt


After the terrible Andrew johnson
had swung round the circle it was held
by the virtuous Radicals that Office cor
ruption was at its height, and 10 offices
were supposed to be more corrupt and
expensive than those of the Internal
Revenue establishment in 1867. This
great abuse was to be reformed by the
Grant Administration. The following
table will show how unblushingly the
swindle was not only not reformed but
actually increased by the present Ad-
ministration. In 1861 there were
about LOO small and large articles
subject to internal revenue tax, which
brought 1866, ,92O. .474.65 revenue. In

SECRETARY BOUTwELL'S REPORT.


The Treasurysfeport says that necessity
exists for new issue of national bank
notes.


The Secretary eXonerates Assistant
| Treasurer HillhOuse from neglect of duty
in the stamp division defalcation i'm the
Assistant Treasury AZ New York.
The Secretary again recommends the
passoge of bill to amend and consolidate
the navigation and customs collection laws
of the United States. AS the leading pur-
suits of the country are now stronger than
ever before, in the possession of adequate
capital and supply of intelligent laborers
therd may be a moderate reduction from
time to time i'm the rate of duties as the
diminishing expenses of the Government
shall permit without either alarming at
that or injuring labor.


He says the circulation of the banks
should be fixed and limited and that DOW
er TO change the volume of paper in circu
lation within the limits established by law
should remain in the Treasury Depart
ment. A degree of fleXibility in the volume
of currency is essential for two reasons.
First, the business of the Department can
not be transacted properly if limit is
made and the power to raise the circula-
ton above or reduce it below that limit is
denied. Secondly, there is a necessity
every autumn for moving the crops with
out delay from the South and West to the
seaboard that they may be in hand for eX-
port and consumption as wanted. The
problem is TO find way of increasing the
currency for moving the crop and dimin-
iShing il at once when that work is done.
This is necessary work and inaSmuch
as it. can not be confided to the banks the
power should be retained in the Treasury
Department.


Believing that the country is not pre-
pared to sustain the policy of contraction
the Secretary considers the means by
which the value of our currency may be
improved. The basis of u policy of inn
provementsmust be found in a steady re-
fusal to add to the paper in circulation un-
til il is of the same value essentially as
coin, this being accepted as the settled pur
pose of the country, there can be no per-
manent increase of the difference between
paper and coin, and an opportunity will
be given for the influence of natural
causes, tending upOu the whole to better
financial condition. All legislation limit
ed in its operation to the paper issues of
the Government, whether bearing interest
or not, and which in its effects shall tend
to diminish the market value of coin, will
be found upon analysis to contain plan
for contracting the volume of paper curren-
cy, and all legislation so limited which
does not contain such plan will prove in
ettectual.


The Secretary, without proceeding to the
discussion of the general subject of resum-
ing specie payments, thinks all will have
been gained thai is Of value, when the
| treasury shall be repaired to pay the de-
mand notes of the Government in coin,
and the banks shall be prepared to pay
their notes either in coin or sal tender
notes, and then our good fortune will clear
| ly appear in this, that our paper currency
is not exclusively of National Bank notes
nor exclusively of United States notes.

Such is dyspepsia. The stomach and
the brain are too intimately allied for the
one to suffer without the other, so that
dyspepsia and dependency are insepa-
rable. 1t may be added, too, that irrita-
tion of the stomach is almost invariably
accompanied by irritation of the temper.


The invigorating and tranquilizing OPP
Grafton of Hostetter's Bitters is most pow
ertully developed in cases of indigestion.
The first effect of this agreeable tonic is
comforting and encouraging. a mild glow
pervades the system, the chronic uneasi-
ness i'll the region of the stomach is less
ened, and the nervous restlessness which
characterizes the disease is abated. This
improvement is not transient. 1t is not
succeeded by the return of the old symp-
toms with superadded force, as is always
the case when unmedicated stimulants
are given for the complaint. Each dose
seems to impart permanent accession
of healthfu. invigOration. But this is not
all. Tho aperient and anti-biious pro-
perties of the preparation are scarcely
secondary in importance to its tonic vir-
tues. If there is an overflow of bile, the
secretion is soon brought within proper
limits, and if the hilary organ is inert
and torpid it is toned and regulated.
The effect upon the discharging organs is
equally salutary, and in cases of consti-
patton the cathartic action is Just sufii-
cien to produce the desired result gradu-
ally and without pain. The Bitters also
promote healthy evaporation from the
surface, which is particularly desirable
at this season when sudden spells of raw,
unpleasant weather are apt to check the
natural perspiration and produce conges-
ton of the liver, coughs and colds. The
best safeguard againSt all diseases is
bodily Uigor, and this the great Vegeta-
BILE Restorative especially promotes.

BAD RoAD.-We learn that the wagon
road from this place to junction City is

A Weaverville is blessed
(?) with number of very noisy boys,
who can find no place to play and have
their fun except along the sidewalks in
front of business houses, and who seem
to find great deal of enjoymentin ''mak-
ing night hideous" with their yells and
stamping. Our citizens have always
treated these boys kindly and have eau
toned and talked to them frequently, but
their warnings seem to be Of little avail
as the annoyance continues night after
night. We have lately learned that it
is seriously contemplated taking more
forcible steps to abate this nuisance-for
it is nothing more or less-and that par
ents do not keep their children at home
and the boys do not behave themselves
properly while about town, they may ex-
pect to be dealt with in anything but
pleasant manner. Boys of from six and
seven to fifteen years of age should not
be allowed to run the streets after dark.
This, however, is the business of their
parents, but whenever the boys become
so boisteroHs as to annoy every merchant
and passer-by on the street, it is time for
the citizens to take hold of the matter and
deal with the aggressors. We hope that
our boys will be more careful and less
noisy hereafter, and by acting like little
gentlemen save themselves from disgrace.

now TO CURE Ir-wHAr do LEWIS SAYS.


DR.. Die Lewis, writing in the Philadelphia To-
Day, says


some years ago famous professor came to
a town where we were then residing, and an
nounced that he could ''oure the worst cases Of
suffering in ten minutes without a surgical OPP
eration." A friend Of ours was an inveterate
case, and we advised him to call upon the won
derful magician. He called was convinced by
the testimonials exhibited, struck up bargain,
paid the fifty dollars, and soon called at our Of
ice talking as straight as a railroad track.


We were greatly astonished, and asked our
friend by what miracle he bad been 30 strangely
and suddenly relieved of his life long trouble
he most proyokingly informed us that he had
made a solemn pledge not to reveal the process
OF the cure


We knew two other bad osses-ladies-
calling upon them, reported what had come to
pass.


They were soon at the professors rooms.
came away greatly elated, raised the hundred
dollars went the next day, paid the cash, and in
half an hour were ready, had the question been
popped, to say Yes" without jerk
We were soon made acquainted with several
other cures quite as remarkable, and resolved to
put on our sharpest wits and wait upon the ma
gician ourselves.


He seemed an honest mar, and in two days
we had made up our mind to pay him large fee
and learn the strange art with the privilege OF
using 1t to cure whomsoever we would.
Those who had been cured by the professor
were solemnly bound not to reveal the secret to
any one but our contract gave us the privilege
Of using the knowledge as we pleased.


And now we propose to give the readers OF
this journal simple art which has enabled us
to make very happy many unhappy stammerers.
In our own hands it has often failed to effect
the desired result, but in three-fourths Of the
cases which we have treated the cure has been
complete


The secret is simply this; The stammerer is
made tosmark the time in his speech just as it
is ordinarily done in singing. He is at first to
beat on every syllable. 1t is best at the first
lesson to read some simple composition, like one
of Dayid's Psalms, striking the finger on the
knee at every word, then read in a newspaper
beating each syllable.
You can beat time by striking the finger on
the knee, by simply hitting the thumb against
the forehnger or moving the large toe in the
| boot.


We doubt il the worst case Of suffering could
continue long, provided the sufferer would read
an hour or two every day, with thorough prac
tice of this simple art, observing the same in
/ his conversation.


As thousands have paid fifty and hundred
/ dollars for this secret, We take great pleasure
in imparting it to the patrons OF this journal.
