The professional swindlers of New York have acor ted a new dodge to swindle the uiiMwpcctiiig. They are Hooding the couinry with circular; addressed to those who were soldiers in the Union army. The document announces that discharged soldiers are entitled to 140 acres of land, assigned to them for services, during the war, and that to obtain this bounty from the Government, it ' sordy necessary to forward to the "lndersigned" a power of attorney, aeeimipanied by a fee for professional services. Soldiers should not pay theslightest attention to such swind ling propositions, nor submit thei -claims against the Government to any but well known ami reliable nartief.

Letter from Kansas. Topkka, Kansas, May 15, '70. Tc the Citizens of Monroe County, Indiana, and to Jiro. Gabe in particular : Leaving Bloomington at 4 P. M. on the 29th of April, we arrived at
State Line, ivas., on bnnday morning. Rested on the Christian Sabbath according to primitive usage. Left at eight and arrived in Topeka 10-30 P. M. Left for the South west. The country along the road, (23 miles) to Burlingame is undulating, rich and beautiftd,continuing about the same to Emporia, 35 miles further. Emporia is located "tween the Neosho river on the orth and the Cottonwood river on the south, in one of the most beautiful and extended valleys the eve

The census takers get two cents 'or every name taken ; ten cents fcr every farm ; fifteen cents for every onxiuetive establishment of industry ; two cents for every deceased person ; two per cent, of the whole amount for names enumerated for social statistics, and ten cents per mile, travel. Unless those they call ipon are very obtuse, and are dilatory in their modes of giving the required information, the census agents will make a good thing of it.

To the Citizens of Bloomington and Prof. Moss in particular : Leaving Emporia, and her industrious, temperance loving, anc
aiiiy inhabitants, we passed up
tha Cottonwood river to the west side of Chase county, thirty :niles. Tlievalley for twenty miles is v crime, from three to six miles wide. Ascending gradually we came 01 the table lands, or hills. These are destitute of timber, but are an immense meadow of grass. Here a reflecting mind can realize the force of that saying : "The cattle on a thousand hills." We saw one affable gentleman who had 800 head.
Cottonwood Falls the present Shire Town of Chase county, is a small place, awaiting a Railroad from
- -Emporia trrpaMMHbugh there. If they lose the Railroad the town w go backward. If they get it, it will improve. Have no Court Hous;e, only one public building, a very good school house, better than any nn Bloomington. A Methodist church and some very kind mem:bers. A few Catholics. Ten miles west of this place we found a Christian ehurch of warm hearts, whose
Jundness will not be forgotten until ?e go hence. One good brother jfertd Mrs. Short a fine Pony, worth 100, if we would, settle in that county. More than half the houses we have seen in Kansas have been built during the last twelve months. But timber and dry weather are the great drawbacks to this large and fast improving State. M. Short.

The reputation this excellent medicine enjoys. Is derived from Us cures, many of which are truly marvellous. Inveterate cases of Scroralous disease, where the system seemed saturated with corruption, have been purified and cured by it. Scrofulous affections and dUorderSjWhieh w ere aggravated by the scrofulous contaminatinn until
they wsre painfull? afflicting, have been radically cured in such great numbers in almost every section of the country, that the public scarcely need to be informed or its virtues or uses, Scro! ulouj, poUc n is one of the most destructive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfi'lt tenant of the organism undermines the constitution , an A ir. vites the attack of enfeebling or fatal dl eases, w the ut exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again, It seems to breed infection throughout ihe bor.y, and then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop into one or other of its hideous forms, eitliei on the surface or among tbe vitals. In tne latter, tubercles may be suddenly deposited in thu luosrx or heart, or tumors formed
in the liver, or It shows its presence by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcerations on some part of
the body. Hence the occasional use of a bottle of this Sariaprtrilln Is advisable, even when no active symptoms of disease appear.

The Living Machine. Injure the main spring of a watch and every portion of the" works becomes disordered. Thejhuman stomach is to the human system what that elastic piece of metal is to a chronometer. It influences tho action of the other organs, and controls, to a certain extent, the whole living machine. The comparison may be carried further; for as the weakness or other imperfections of the main spring is indicated on the face of the time-piece, so also is the weakness or other disorder of the stomach betras'cd by
the face of invalid. The complexion is sallow are faded, the eyes or deficient in lustre and intelligence, find there is a worn, anxious expression in the whole countenance which tells as plainly as words could do, that the great nourishing organ whose office it is to minister to the wants of the body, and to sustain and renew all its parts, is not performing its duty. It requires renovating and regulating, and to accomplish this end Uostetter's Stomach Bitters may be truly said to be the one thing need
ful. The broken main spring of watch
may be replaced by a new one, but the stomach can only be repaired and strengthened, and this is one of the objects of the famous vegetable restorative which for eighteen years has been waging a successful contest with dyspepsia in all climates. As a specific for indigestion it stands alone. "When the resources of the pharmacopoeia hav! been exhausted, without, at host, doing more than mitigating the complaint, a course of this wholesome an i palatable, yet powerful stomachic, effects a perfect and permanent cure. In all cases of dyspepsia the liver is more or less disordered, and upon this important gland, as well as upon the stomach and bowels, the Bitters act with singular distinctness. rGtrulatine and
