Let every colored man who favors the elevation of his race subscribe for tks Leader; and lei every white man who believes that slavery was a crme against humanity and that it is the duty of the ruling race to aid the Negro in his struggle for mwral, social and intellectual elevation do likewise. The Attorney General of Virginia ha3 decided that the law which disfranchises a man convicted of a fellony is not operative against colored men convicted before enfranchisement. For, the Attorney General very logically argues, it would be absurd to talk about taking from a man a right he had never enjoyed. The bill to prohibit the Chinese emmigration which passed the Senate last week was properly styled by General Hawley the "bill of iniquities." In the discussion of the bill Senator Hoar and General IIawley nobly vindicated the principles of govern ment which prohibit discriminations against any man on account of race or color. It 13 a source of congratulation that but five Republican Senators voted for the measure. Of the Democratic Senators, .drown, ol ueorjna, was tne only one who had the independence to vote against. The measure will undoubtedly be de feated in the House as Congressmen cannot afford to ask Republican constit uencies to endorse a vote for a measure which is in direct violation of the con stitution and every principle of right and fair dealing. We have no right to shut out any man who will labor for an honest living and obey the laws of the land. Mr. Haskell of Kansas has gone a step beyond Mr. Murch, and introduced a bill which strikes at the very root of the matter, by making its provisions appliÄible to the entire country. Mr. Haskell's bill is essentially the same as Senator Sumner's famous Civil Rights bill. The colored people throughout the country should bring every influence possible to bear to secure the passage of these measures. Of course the adoption of Mr. Haskell's bill would obviate the neccsity for Mr. Murciie's. Both gentlemen deserve and will receive the greatful acknowledgement of the colored people of the country. MR. HASKFIA's EQUAL RIGHTS BILL - The following is the full text of Mr. Haskell's bill to declare the equal rights of citizens of the United States, without reference to race or colon He it enacted, etc-, That from and after the passage of this act all distinctions on account of race or color, so far as relates to any privilege, right or immunity exercised or enjoyed by one class of citizens in contravention of or predjudicial to the rights, privileges, or immunities of any other class, or to the exclusion of ony other class, shall be, and the same are hereby, set aside and made null and void, and the same provisions of law shall extend, and are hereby extended, to all citizens of the United States. Sec. 2. That all laws and parts of laws in conflict with the provisions of this act are hereby repealed. Last week we had occasion to call the attention of our readers to the disgraceful exhibition of ignorance and brutish sentiments made in the United States Senate by one George, who fraudulently occupies one of Mississippi's seats in the Senate. George prated about this being a white man's government, made by white men, for white men and their posterity, and like the pusillanimous cur that he is, begged that the white people of the South be permitted to "regulate" the Negroes according to their own sweet will. We character ized these infamous sentiments and their infamous author in such terms as we thought appropriate, but we expressed no surprise that such sentiments came from such a source. We should have sought a fragrant odor in a sewer or cesspool of filth rather than decent sentiments in the heart of this foul fraud. But we were surprised to find, before our strictures on George were in print, that a prominent Republican Senator had followed him up and reiterated and endorsed his sentiments. If newspaper reports are correct there is no essential difference between the sentiments of Senator Jones, of Nevada, and those of the fraudulent Senator from Mississippi. In discussing the Chinese question Senator Jones went out of his way to make an uncalled for and brutal attack upon the colored people. He declared

that the Negro had been an injury to

the country, that if he were not here he ought to be kept out of the coun try, that if left to himself the Negro would lapse into barbarism. He asserted the inferiority of the Negro in the most odious forms, and uttered the threat that the colored people would never be permitted to control the affairs of any State, thus giving a quasi en dorsement to the violence and fraudulent methods by which his companion in shame, George, obtained a seat in the Senate. We shall not attempt to answer these assaults. They have been anwercd and repudiated a thousand times over by the Negro's own achievements from the commencement of the colonization of this country down to the pres ent. The Negro has shown that he is capable of the highest culture and the best civilization. On the battle fields of every war he has shown his bravery and love of country. Half the wealth of this Nation is the product of the Negro's unrequited toil. Representatives of the Negro race have won distinction in science, literature and art. The testimony of white men of every shade of political opinion in the South and of Northern men who have visited the South, is uniform in the assertion that the progress of the Negro since emancipation is absolutely wonderful. "Virginia," says General Maiione, "tenders the colored man the complete justice which his conduct as a citizen challenges and exacts. We are equally gratified with what we are doing for the colored man and what he is doing for himself. Tie vindicates himself and justifies us in our determined efforts tor his moral and intellectual advancement. Conscious of the settlement in his favor of the question of his right to pursue the duties and. privileges of citizenship, his conduct commands the approval of even his severest critics." "Our purK)se is to make the colored man feel his identification with us, and to stimulate in him the feeling of contentment by wise and generous care and consideration that there may be prevented the calamity to the South of a heavy emigration of the colored people. The spirit of- Caste, of race predjudice, of intolerance, of proscription for opinions sake, has as little respectable recognition in Massachusetts as in Virginia." Contrast these manlv, noble senties ' ments of Virginia's distinguished Sen ator with those of Nevada's hot-house politician. So delighted are the grandsons of John C. Calhoun with the progress of the colored people that they declare, "If our grandfather and his associates had known as much about the colored man as we do, there would have been neither slavery nor war." But we will not pursue the subject further. The simple fact is, Senator Jones has not only disgraced himself in the eyes of the American people, and dishonored the State which sent him, and the party to which he professes to Ixdong, but he has betrayed an ignorance and Btupidity which had not been generally ascribed to him. The most plausible and probably the correct explanation of his conduct is that Mr. Jones having suddenly, by some queer freak of fortune sprung from' poverty to great wealth, has chosen this method of trying to make people believe he is an arristocrat. Mr. Murch, of Maine, has introduced a bill in the House of Represen tatives for the abolition of Color Caste in the public schools of the District of Columbia. Mr. Murch deserves, and will receive, the thanks of the colored people throughout the land for his manly stand on this question. It is to be hoped that Mr. Murcii's bill will become a law before the close of the present session of Congress, and that the capital of the Nation may no longer present the disgraceful spectacle of little children compelled to tramp squares out of their way, through sun and storm, to find a school house when there is one at their door, the childs only offense being a dark complexion. The following is the text of the bill. We commend it not only to the school authorities of this city, but to those of every, community in which the outrageous discrimination against children on account of their color is made. MB. MUKCll'd BILL "TO SQUAltE EQUAL SCnOOL RIGHTS.'' Be it enacted, &c.y That hereafter it shall be unlawful for any school trustee, super intendent or teacher of the public schools of the District of Columbia to make any distinction whatever on account of the race or color of any pupil or scholar who may be in attendance upon or seeking admission to any public or common school in the District of Columbia that is maintained wholly or in part by moneys raised by taxation of the people of the District of Columbia or of the United States. Sec. 2. That all laws or parts of laws inconsistent with the provisions of this act be, and the same is hereby, repealed. The boys were being examined in astronomy. When it came the visitors' turn to put questions, somebody asked what the constellation in which the pointers are located is called. The infant phenomenon of the class promptly answered: '.The groat dipper." "Why is it called the great dipper?' asked another visitor. "Because the gods use it to take a drink on t of the milky way," responded the phenomenon. Brooklyn Eagle.

WASHINGTON LETTER,

The Chinese Question Death of Henry Highland Garnett The Zuni's The Panama Schemes Elopement Personal Notes. Washington, D. C, March 11. The debate incidental to the passage of the anti-Chinese Bill in the Senate gave opportunity to a good many light weight, short distance, smooth bore, small caliber statesmen, to project into the Senatorial forum a large quantity of stale, cheap and second hand wind, by courtesy called "remarks," on that ever present and irrepressible question, The speeches of Messrs Dawes and Hoar were the most prominent against the bill, and those of George, of Mississippi, and Jones, of Nevada, most prominent in favor, by reason of their II 1 Tl 1 illogical isourbomsm ana vaporing about this government and continent being devoted exclusively to the Aryan race. George is violently in favor of the measure because he desires to give the Pacific Slope ieople, as he says, the right to regulate their own affairs, and thus establish a precedent which would enable the SouthernBourbous to legislate On the Negro question according to their own peculiar views. , George is the representative of the Mississippi shot-gun brijrands in Congress, and views coming from such a source, is of course not peculiar. But with Senator Jones, it is Differ ent, and his talk about the dedication of this government and continent to the Aryan race alone, coming as it does from a Republican Senator, and one reputed to be very near the head of the administration, sounds queer. Considering the previous record of the Senator, it is no wonder that he held his speech out of the Record for revision before publication. It requires very little reasoning to show the fallacy of this "Ayran" talk. The Hindoos of British India are rec ognized as perhaps the purest type of this much vaunted race. 2s ow suppose these people take a notion to emigrate to California in search of employment, as they are liable to do, would they be welcomed by Senator Jones and the pro-Aryans of that State? These Hindoos can work and live as cheaply as the Chinese, and if they were to attempt to find homes on the Pacific Slope, they would meet with as much violent opposition as do the latter, and this notwithstanding their unadulterated Aryan origin. If these anti-Chinees statesmen would confine their opposition to the Mongols to the cheap labor, cheap living, and generally anti-Amer-ican instincts and characteristics of these people, which is the real ground of opposition to them they would appear more consistent. 1 here doubtless is a real danger to this country from unlimited Chinees immigration, arising from the immense population oi the Empire from which they come. With their four . hundred million of people, they could spare any number of millions up to fifty without scarcely missing them. However much we may deprecate legislating against a certain class or race of people, still we must be practical, and the best way to meet dangers is to prepare for them be fore they are at hand. The very nature, habits, instincts, etc., of the Chinees people are against them here. Of all old races they are probably the most fixed and determined in their adherence to the traditions of other and far off centuries. In their own opinion their civilization and peo ple aio perfect. Excepting what little of the " estern civilization they have of late y:ars got through sheer force, they are said to be about the same people they were two thousand years ago. lo them Chinr. is the world of civilization, and culture, all outside is barbarian heathen dom. This peculiar infatuation of race perfection and exclusiveness, follows them wherever they go, and their only object, aside from the gratification of their lowest passions, seems to be to accumulate sufficient money to enable them to return to China and live at ease, and to the attainment of this purpose all their energies are bent. . In a country so populous as China and governed as it is, it is but natural that low wages should be the rule rather than the exception; and the Chinaman being a man of simple habits, can live on very little; and is thus enabled in foreign lands to work at much cheaper rates than the competitors around him and here his troubles begin. The men whom he displaces being much more powerful and influential in every way than he, will not peaceably submit to being superseded, and therefore trouble ensues. It seems that the policy marked out in the bill is about the only just course that canbepursned at present to put this vexed question in proper shape for solution, hence it is best that it should become a law. There is a general impression throughout the country that to see Indians one must go West. This is not entirely correct, however, as one may see a good many Indians by going East. Washington is rarely without a delegation from some tribe who are here sight seeing and logrolling, to carry some point just like white or black men. A delegation of Zuni's a New Mexican tribe are now before the Washington footlights. They are said to be here in the interest of ethnological science at the instance of a Mr. Cushing, of the Smithsonian Institute, who has spent two and a half years among them. He claims for t hem descent from prehistoric civilized people, and says they are possessed of a religion of various forms and important historical traditions which have been handed down among them from time immemorial. Their religion consists of various degrees, of which the Order of the Bow is the highest, and, Mr. Cushing says, resembles modern spiritualism more nearly than anything else. They are (juite exclusive and conservative in their habits, and believe in and practice monogramic

marriages. Either the man or woman j may "pop the question." Cushing since his joining the tribe has received many flattering offers from Zuni maidens, but has thus far successfully resisted their prehistoric charms; but as he expects to spend several years yet among them he may yet succomb to Zuni love making. A proposition has been made in Congress to settle the Indian question in a very sensible and practical shape. It proposes to give to the head of each Indian family on a reservation ICO acres of land in severalty, and to every orphan and single person 80 acres, the same to be inalienable for a period of twenty five years. This is the proper thing to do. It will start the road to work out his own destiny; and if he is capable of surviving and becoming an American citizen, he will do so; and if not he will go to the happy hunting grounds. Instead of being supported they shouid be made self-supporting, and thus they will learn the true principles that underlie citizenship in a free country. The State department, Friday, received news of the death Feb. 13th at

Monrovia, of the Rev. H. II. Gamett, our Minister to Liberia. I am not ad vised as to the cause of his death; but it was doubtless the result of acclimating fever, for which the Doctor's advanced aire and enfeebled constitution Sculiarly fitted him for a victim, enrv Higland Garnett was born in Mayrland, in 1817. In early life he went to xSew lork City and began lite as a cabin boy on board of a ship. lie afterwards entered Canaan Academy, Connecticut, but was forced to leave by the intolerant spirit of the day. He afterwards entered and graduated from Oneida Institute, N. Y. He afterwards became celebrated as a public speaker, Presbyterian divine and anti-slavery worker. By special request of the House of Represntatives, he delivered a sermon before that body shortly after the close af the war. Among the closing official acts of the late President Garfield was the appointment of Dr. Garnett minister to Liberia, to which country he sailed November 12th last. In his special field, Dr. Garnett was a man of peculiar fitness, and only those who are well acquainted with the antislavery struggle can justly estimate the value of the services of himself and men of his stamp in his day and time. He would doubtless been of much value to the struggling Republic of Liberia, had his life been spared. One of our naval officers has reported to the government, that much more progress has been made in the Panama Canal construction than is generally known. This officer says that through out the entire length, fifty six miles of what is to be the canal, the ground has been cleared of under-brush, preparatory to the work of excavation which has already begun. A narrow gauge railroad will be built along the entire line to facilitate the work of construction; so it may be accepted as a fixed fact that the Isthmus will at an early date be pierced by an artery that will bisect the American Continent, and greatly facilitate the commercial traffic of the world. It is probable too, that both Eads' Ship Railway scheme and the Nicarauguan Canal will also eventually be carried to successful completion. The former is a plan to catch up ocean craft on steam trucks, carry tnem overland across the Isthmus and dump them into the Pacific. The plan is adjudged feasible by competent engineers, and our Congress, it is thought, will charter and aid the undertaking. It will then be seen that the Isthmian waters are certainly destined at an early date to be crowded by the merchant marine of all nations. Quite a sensation was created here last week by the discovery of the elojHjment of J. M. llawkswortu, a lreasury clerk, and a Mrs. Hunter, also a Treasury employe. The parties are colored and both were married, though at the time of elopement Mrs. Hunter was a grass-widow. Hawkes worth, however, was living, as it was thought, on the best of terms with his wife ud to the very day of the elopement. He is of West Indian birth, and it is thought he and his inamorata have returned to his island home. The action of Hawkesworth is peculiarly brutal, in that besides his wife he also deserts four helpless little children who were entirely dependant on him for support. Both parties borrowed all the money and went into debt wherever they could, so that there are many aching hearts behind be sides the deserted family. Hawksworth was formerly a student at Howard University, afterwards in the Freedmans Bank at Natchez, Miss, and latterly a government clerk here. A large party of colored laborers from this city and Virginia left last week to work on Pennsylvania railroads. The anti-polygamy, anti-Chinese, and Grant retirement bills, are all pending in the House, and will doubtless be passed at an early date. Mr. Robinson. Democrat, Mr. Murch, Greenbacker; and Mr. Hascall, Republican, have all introduced bills in the House looking to the abolishment of the District caete laws. . Dr. James Still, a somewhat remarkable colored man, died last Saturday near Bordentown, New Jersey, at the advanced age of seventy years. Dr. Still was a cancer physician, and is said to have had remarkable success in his specialty. He had amassed a large fortune, and recently built a hotel to accomodate the large number of patients under his charge. The graduating exercises of the medical department of Howard Univetsity occurred Tuesday evening, the 7th. Following are the names of the graduates: Harrison Bennett, G. II. Brown, E. G. Chapman, R.

Church, of this city, located on M St. between 15th and 16th is' up to the second story. The structure is large, is to have a pressed brick front, and will be quite handsome, architecturally considered. Rev. Dr. Stevenson is pastor, and I am informed he has made an ar

rangement by which every member of

the A. M. L. Church, throughout the country is to contribute twenty five cents toward the work. Should he receive this aid the church will doubtless be completed at an early date. E. R.

A druggist made a mistake in putting up a prescription, selling oxalic acid, a deadly poison, for German salts. Discover ing his error, he rushed out in pursuit of his patron.

The performance of "Hamlet," which was announced for February 11, at the Imperial Theater in London, was abandoned on ac count of the fog.

Near Winslow, in the Sunset Mountains, a cave has been discovered which is one of the greatest wonders of Arizona Herritory.

The cart was consumed with the two children inside, and the oxen were burned to death. The woman attempted to escape with her infant, but her clothing ca'ight tire, and she and the other child were so badly burned that they have since died. A German painter once obtained permission to paint some great court ceremony in which the Emperor and his son Fritz were the central figures.

He at once asked a bystander for a pencil and altered the sketch, which was returned to the audacious artist with the significant words "not yet" written under the figure of the Prince. The new house which Mr. Samuel J. Tilden is building on the site of his former mansion, 15 Gramercy Park, will be one of the costliest on Manhattan Island, the estimates running all the way from $100,000 to $600,000. The materials used are Scotch red sandstone, Belleville brownstone and Maine granite. The whole front of the house is one mass of elaborate carving, wherever the Carlisle stone is used, and upon this part of the work no fewer than forty men have been employed for several months. The style is mixed Gothic and Kenaissance. What the Surveyor Missed. Detrot Free Press. A surveyor who was running Township lines in a new County in this State last fall was engaged by a farmer to survey the line between his farm and that of a neighbor. They had a line fence, but engaged in several disputes as to whether it was on the divide. The surveyor was making preparations when the owner of the other farm approached and inquired: "What are you going to do now?" "Find the exact line," was the reply. At this the man wheeled and went off on the gallop, and he was seen no more until the line had been run. The surveyor and the first named farmer had just completed the work when the other came up to within about ten feet of them and asked: "Well, have you got through?" "Yes; all through." "And is the fence a foot on his farm?" "No; he has two feet of yours, and the fence must be moved so that you can have it." The man sprang upon a stump, faced a thicket about live rodsaway, and yelled out: "You there Reuben and James and Samuel! The survev is made and we are all right! You kin shoulder them shotguns and go back to the sawmill, and if you meet the old woman coming with the pitch fork, you kin tell her to tun back and git up a squar' dinner for the surveyor!" Attention has been called to some new facts in relation to color-blindness. Cartful investigations have 6hown tbe Chinese and the Nubians to be practically freo from the defect. Dr. Koborts has observed that color-blindness is meet common among persons of reddish or red hair, and it is very prevalent among the Jews, who are the most decidedly red-haired of all known races. It is 'thought probable, therefore, that there may bo sc mo correlation of colorblindness with pigmentation, andindirectly, with facial peculiarities. 'The Roman Catholic bishop of B. is a most energetic leric. He received the other day the confession of a little boy. At the close, eaid his right reverence, 4Well, have you anything mre to tell mo?"

THAT RICH EXPERIENCE. A Free Press Interview Sustained ' and Its Source Revealed.

Detroit Free Pi-esa.) 4 A ll . 1 .a icw momns ago an interview with a prominent and Meli known physician, formerly a resident of Diroit,but now living in New York, appeared' in the columns of this paper. The statements made by the doctor and the facts he divulged were of so unusual a nature as to cause no little commotion among those who read them, and many inquiries were raised as to the genuineness of the interview and the validity of the statements it contained. The name of the physician was at that time suppressed at his own request. The seal of secrecy, however, can now be removed, as the important and interesting letter which appears below will abundantly show. In order, however, that the reader may better understand this letter, a few extracts are herewith given from the interview in question. After an exchange of courtesies and a few reminiscences about the war, in which the doctor was a prominent surgeon, the reporter remarked on the doctor's improved appearance, upon which he said: "Yes, I have improved in health since vou last saw me, and I hoiie also in many other ways, one tning, nowever, l have succeeded in doing,- aud it is one of the hardest things for any one, and especialy a doctor, to do. anu inai is x nave overcome mv nreiucuces. You know there are some people who prcier to remain in tne wrong rather than acknowledge the manifest right Such prejudice leads to bigotry of the worst order. Now 1 am a physician, and of the "old school" order, too; but I have, after years of experience and observation, come lo the conclusion that truth is the highest of all things, and that if prejudice or bigotry stand in the way of truth, so much the worse for them-they are cert ain to be crushed sooner or later. Why, when I knew you in Detroit, I would no sooner have thought of violating the code of ethics laid down by the. profession, or of prescribing any thing out ot the regular or der, than 1 would of amputating my hand. Now, however, I prescribe and advise those things which 1 believe to be adapted to cure, and which my experience has proven to' be such. "How did you come io get such heretical ideas as these, doctor? ''Oh, they are the result of my experience and observation. I obtained my first ideas upon the subject, though, from having been cured alter all my care and the skill of my prok'ssioual brethern had failed to relieve me. Why, I was as badly off-as many of my pa tients, with a complication of troubles, includ ing dyspepsia, and consequently imperfect kidneys and liver, and I feared I should have to give up my practice. For months I suf itrec untoiu agonies, uu.il. inuennite pains in various parts of the body; a lack of int'jr est in everything around me; a loss of appe the; headaches; all these disagreeable sympa. . . 1 1 I . l r 1 i.i i oms were auaea to pains wnicn were both acute and constant. Sick as I was, however, I became restored to health in a most sur prising manner and in an incrdeibly 6hort space of time, aud it was this that proved a revelation to me. That was the starting point, and mv prejudices faded rapidly after that I can assure you. I went to reading exten sively, and analyzing more extensivelv, and since that time I have discovered many things of real value to humanity. Why only a lew uays ago l aaviseu a lauy who was suffering from a serious female difficulty and displacement to use the same remedy which cured me. I saw her this morniug and he is nearly well; the pain and inflamation 'are all gone and she is around as usual. We have no right m the medical fraternity to sit back and declare there is no such as improvement or advancement, or that we have a monopoly of the remedies which na ture has given to mankind. There are great changes going on in every department of lfe, and there are great developments in medicine as well. Thousands of people die every year from supposed typhoid ieever, rheumatism or other complaints, when in reality it is from trichina, caused by eating poorly cooked and diseased pork. Thousands of children are dying every year from drojwy as the apparent sequel to scarlatina, when in reality it is from diseased kidneys which have become weakened by the feever they have just had." well, doctor, you nave got some new truths here, certainly, but they sound very reasonable to me. "Well, whether they are reasonable or not, I have demonstrated to my own satisfaction that they are true, and I propose to stand by them, no matter how much opposition I may raise dy doingso. Any man, be he politician, preacher or phvsiciari, who is so considerate of his pocketbook or of his own personal ends as to stultify himself suppressing the manifest truth, is unworthy the name of man, and unworthy the confidence of the public whom he serves. The above lire some of the principal points in the interview refered to. .Now lor the sequel. The following outspoken letter from the doctor himself which lias just leen received is published in full. Editor Detroit Free Press: some time ago a reporter of your paper had an interview with me which he said he would like to publish. I consented on condition that you would not mention my name until I gave you permission. I have now accomplished the purpose I had in mind, and wibh to say to you (which you can publish or not as you 6ce fit) that I nad debated for long whether I would shake off some of the professional fetters which bound me with others for years, and tell the truth or not. When I looked back, and thought of the tortures like those descriled by Dante in his trip to the infernal regions, which I endured from dyspepsia, and recalled how much I would have given at that time for the relief which I have since obtained, I determined that I would take the step so long meditated, and thereby discharge a duty to my fellow men. If 1 thereby save one poor mortal one night of the terrible suffering I endured, I would be fully satisfied, be the other consequences what they might. My dyspeptic condition was produced by a torpid liver, which did not, as a consequence, remove the bile from the blood. This produced derangement of the stomach, inflamation of its coats, dyspepsia, constipation, headache, depression of spirits, yellow cornplexion, fat-covered eyes, chills and fever; in short, I was miserable to the last degree. I appealed in vaiu to my books, to my skill and to my fellow physicians. The mystery of my ill-health grew cWper. I traveletl everywhere exhausted all authorized expedients but to no purpose. When in this frame of mind, desperately in need of help, but expecting none, one of my professional friends called my attention to some unusual cures wrought by a prominent remedy and urged me to try it. I emphatically declined. But secretly and with firm determination that I would never let anybody know what I had done, began its use. it was only an experiment, you know, but for that matter all medical treatment is experimental, Well, to make a long and surprising story short, I experienced a sort of physical revolution. My skin got a better color. My liver resumed its functions. I no longer had to arouse the bowels with cathartics. My headaches disappeared with my dyspepsia; but still I was not convinced. "Nature did it" I reasoned, but determined to push the investigation to the extreme, while I was in active work I tried the effect of the remedy on my patieuts afflicted with kidney, liver and urinary diseases, watching every I developmen t carefully and studiously. Then ' T -11.. I WTVl fsM V A . 1 A was completely uimiuiw, mc icmeuy , stood every test imposed. I . . . 1 1 Under such convincing cirenmstances, tne matter of confessing my cure became a question of concience and of duty'to humanity, "here is a remedy" I said "that has done for me what the host medical skill of the country could not accomplish" and as an honorable man I will not suppress the facts.

I therefore write you and most unhesitatingly assert that for all diseases of the kidneys, liver, stomach, or urinary organs which are amenable to treatment, Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure surpasses any remedy I have ever known or used, and since phy

sicians have so much ill-success in the treatment of diseases of these organs, 1 am prepared to accept all the consequences, when I say that they are, if conscientious, in duty bound to use this pure vegetable comjMjund in their practice. yours very trulp. J. AY. Smith, M. D. Statements so outspoken as the above and coming from such a reliable source are val uable beyond question, iiiey conclusively show not only the power of the remedy which has become so well knovrri'and popu lar, but the great importance of attention in time to the first indications of dtcjining health. When professional men of such high standing sink their prejudice and willingly declare their belief in that which they know to be valuable, the public may confidently follow their example. Scarcity of Money. Texas Siftiugs. Pete Freer is always hard up for mcnev. and is everlastingly trying to borrow from his friends. Colonil Andrews has got plenty of money, but he does not like to lend it to Peto, for fear he would forget all about it. On the nrst of the month, Pete met Col onel Andrews, and s&id to him; Can you lend mo half a collar for & few minuted? I want to pay my landlady." I'm eorry, te, but yesterday I let George Horner have the last half-dollar I had about mo, otherwu-o I would be proud to lend it to you." Next day Pete made another httempt to borrow half a dollar from Andrews, who said he had, on the day before, paid out the last cent lor taxct; but for that, he would ltt Pete have tho money in a minute. On the next day, Pete made another uttempt to get that half-dollar, bat Colonel Andrews said he bad, on the dav previous. been paying his pew rent, and it took the last cent he had, otherwise, ho would take Elea?ure in lending Pete as much money as o needed; that there was no man in Austin whom ho respected as much a he did Pete Freer. On the succeeding day, Pete once more tackled Andrews, who remembered that he had, on the day betöre, contributed the only half-dollar he had to tbe erection of an Almo monument, otherwise, he would be proad to advance Pete ihn cash. Pete began to lo e hope, and, yesterday, when he met Andrews oa Austin avenue. instead of asking him for tho half-dollar, he merely inquired: "I say, Colonel, what did you do yester day with that half-dollar you can't lend me to-day if" The Glasgow Times s'avs: When a roan has run with tho devil until hi? joints stiffen and his liver knots, and he runs out of wildoat seed and patrimony, and then brings his old, shrivel .ed carcass over to tho Lord's side and proposes to battle for Him on crutches and rheumatic liniment, then it is that humanity reaches iti tether compre hension and tho whelo case is given over to Him who is all love. Man's ida would be to kick him down the ttep and put the dogs after him; bat the lovo tLat is above is in finite and knows no tiring.'' BAILEOAD TIHK TAJ3LF, On and after Sauf.ar. January 22, 1K&3.
