In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disorder- d liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good nature. The human digestive appaiatus is one of the most complicated and wonderful .hings in existence. It is easily put out of order. Greasy food, tou h food, sloppy food, bad 3ookery, mental worry, late other thing 3 which ought not to be, have made the American pet pie a nation of dyspeptics. But Green’s August Flower has done r wonderful work in reform* ing this sad business and making the America a people so healthy that they can enjoy their meals nd be ha t y Remember:- No happiness without health. But Green’s August Flower brings health and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle. Seventy-five cents.

The Condition of the State Treasury.

Indianapolis Sentinel: Justice to the pe >ple of the State demands that a few plain words should be written about the condition of the State treasury, Eor some unexplained reason some one of the present Republican State officers or some one of their deputies, has give n out the lie that the State treasury is empty. The republican organs of this city have published the lie and it has been copied by the republican press of the State and country. The publication of the lie in the Eastern papers has given the State an unenviable reputation and is liable to injure its credit. — This is unjust to our people and is working injury to our business interes s. The lie can so easily be ' refuted that it is beyond the comprehension of all sensible peo.-le that it should have been started. Under th law the Auditor and Treasurer of the State must publish a report of the condition of the State treasury at the end of each month. Tnese reports have been regularly published and have always shown a large sum in the treasury. The statement p .Wished officially in the Sentinel and Journal on Wednesday of this week, showed that there was £403,091 50 in the treasury on the last day of August—a pretty good, round sum. At the close of July, ..bout the time the lie was started, the published balance was $503,652.60. Now, if the treasury was empty at that time, it would be interesting to know where this half million dollars was if not in the treasury. It is the duty of the State officers to sustain the credit of the State, but instead of doing this. t e present Auditor has allowed his deputy to give out the impression that the State is bankrupt, and the lie has spread like wildfire. The Journal rejoiced to see the lie come back with a hundred per cent, added in the way of comments and these extracts from + he Eastern papers were eagerly copied into its columns. This was done, doubtless, for the reason that when an unprincipled man starts a big lie, he rejoices to hear others repeating it Now the facts are that Indiana has a good financial record, and this is well known at home. The current expenses of the State for every purpose except interest on the public debt, are about $1,000,000 per year. No State, considering the population, can show such a record. The tax levy for State purposes is only twelve cents on the SIOO of valuation, and it has been that for years, until the State determined to build Ihree new Insane Hospitals, costing $1,500,000; this twelve cent levy was abundant and left a surplus, but to pay for these Hospitals, a loan had to be secured, .''he State went into the money markets and borrowed at a less rate of interest than was ever paid by any State. The papers of the country which have published the lie will only be r oingthe manty thing to retract. Justice to our State and people demands that they should.

People Demand Protection.--Pat-ent Medicines.

What are they ? As a general tiling they are preset ipticns having been used with great success by old and well-read Physicians. Thousands of invalids have been unexpectedly cured by their use, and hey are the wonder and dread of Physicians a d Medical Colleges in the U. S., so much so, that Physicians graduating at Medical Colleges are required to discountenance Proprietary Medicines, a* through them the country doctoloses his most profitable practice. As a manufacturer of Proprietary Medicines, Dr. G. C. Green of

Woodbury, N. J., advocates most cordially,—in order to prevent the risk t at the sick and afflicted are liable to almost daily by the use of Patent Medicines put out by inexperienced persons for aggrandizement only, and the employing of inexperienced and incompetent doctors by which almost every village and town is cursed; and men claiming to oe doctors who had i etter b undertakers, experimenting with their patients and robbing them of their money and health,—for the good of the afflicted that our govern tn* nt protect its people by making laws o regulate the practice of medicine by better experienced and more thoroughly educated Physicians, and thereby keep up the honor and credit of the profession, also form law’s for the recording o" recipes of Proprietary Medicines, under examin tion and decision of experienced Ch -m----ists and Physicians appointed for that purpose Ly the Government, before they are licensed for general use. He would most freely pl ce the recipe of Boschee’s German Syrup and Green’s August Flower under such laws, had he the proper protection, and thereby save the prejudice of the people, and avoid the competition and imitation of worthless medicines. - Copied from the Chicago Mail, Aug. 3, ’B7.

Grant, Sumner, and Stewart.

A. T. Stewart, the New York merchant prince, made large sales to the Government during the war for the suppression of the rebellion, and he displayed his gratitude by making Mrs. Lincoln handsome presents. He was also a large contributor to the fund of SIOO,OOO raised by the merchants of New York for Gen. Grant as an acknowledgment of his w’ar services; and when the General was elected President, Mr. Stewart was selected by hiir as the man to reorganize the Treasury Department, prune off its excrescences and reform its abuses. Mr. Stewart was delighted with the offer, and had a suite of rooms in the Ebbitt House, with a private entrance, fitted up for his occupation until he could go to housekeeping. A few days before the 4th of March he came to Washington and occupied these rooms, with Judge Hilton as his companion and adviser. After the inauguration he was nominated by Gen. Grant; but Senator Sumner, who had been consulted as to the formation of the Cabinet, interposed his objection to the immediato consideration of Mr. Stewart’s nomination. Late in the afternoon of that day a rumor got abroad that there was a law, understood to have been re Uy written by Alexander Hamilton while Sec- etary of the Treasury, prohibiting an importer in active business from holding the position of Secretary of the Treasury. A newspaper correspondent obtained a copy of the bearing on the case and carried it to Gen. Butterfield, who conveyed it to Mr. Stewart and his legal adviser, Judge Hilton. They consulted Chief Justice Chase, and he confirmed the view which had been taken of the law by those who first brought it to Mr. Stewart’s attention. Mr. Stewart then proposed to retire from business and devote the entire profits that might accrue during the time that he should hold the office of Secretary of the Treasury to charitable objects. But this was decided to be something which would not be proper, either for him to carry out or for the Government to accept. Immediately after seeing Chief Justice Chase Mr. Stewart and Judge Hilton drove to the White House and laid the facts and opinions before the President, who, on the next day, wrote a message to the Senate, asking that the law of 1788 be set aside so as to allow the candidate to hold the office. This the Senate declined to do. It was a very natural ambition for a man of Mr. Stewart’s tastes and training to desire to be at the head of the Treasury, and it is not unlikely that the disappointment was a very severe one. This was the beginning of the “unpleasantness” between President Grant and Senator Sumner, which finally resulted in an open rupture.— Ben: Perley Poore, in Boston Budget.

Japan Tea.

* Japan tea is not a favorite in these days,” said a grocer. “Ten years ago a rage in its favor set in, and' the Japanese tea was called for on all sides. But it fell out of public favor as rapidly as it came in. Whv? It had not enough of merit to keep it in. The first lots we got from Japan were choice in quality, because the growth was email and great attention was paid to its culture, with hopes for the future. But the demand increased in a few jumps, care was abandoned by the growers, and the only object sought was to fill the orders. Consequently the Japanese tea that found its way to the American market was a sorry lot. Tea lovers soon found it out, and the Chinese stimulant was taken again and found much better. Not only were the old and tough leaves of the 'tea plant picked at all times of the year, instead of the young green ones of the spring season, but wisteria leaves were mixed in with them. When the Japan tea first came here the dried leaves had a delicate olive tint and were long and wiry. Now they are broken and range in color from black to yellow, the result of artificial colorings with various blues, gypsum, and soapstone.—Cleveland Herald.

No Cat in Wages.

The employes of a Michigan railroad had been trembling in their boots over a reduction of wages, wnen an agent, dispatched from headquarters, passed along the line and said to the various station officials: “I am happy to inform you that there will be no cut in salaries.” “Good. My salary is so small that I could hardly stand a cut of 5 per cent.” “The road is not making any money, but the President feels that every employe is earning his salary, and that, perhaps, the fall business may Bring us out all Fght. Put your name down for what you can afford.” “Oil what?” ‘ Why, o i.this paper. It is a subscription to buy th * President a silver tea-set as a token of the esteem of the employe •. Let’s see? You get S6OO per year. If you put your name down for §SO you will be giving all you tan afford. Rest easy, Mr. Bia: k, there will be no cut in sal... ,cs.” — IKNI Street News.

That Wretched Drink.

Rev. Ernest. Wiii' -rlorc-', Bishop of Newcastle, is an eloquent and persistent advocate Of total abstinence. Now and then, from a sense of duty, he arrays himself in well-worn clothes and goes a out incognito among the poor and criminal classes on tours of observation. On one such occasion he was riding in a third-class railway carriage of which the only other occupant was a pitman. The latter, viewing the Bishop’s clerical but “seedy” garment, remarked, "Pse war’nt ye’re a poor curate, noo, travel in’ ’i’ the likes o’ huz?” “I once was, my friend,” remarked the Bishop, “but ” “Oh, aye, I see!” cried the other, in all good faith, “that wretched drink! Aye, aye! Too bad!” The incident—without naming the Bishop—has since formed the topic of a cartoon in Punch.—New York Tribune.
