- There never has been a time when the healing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. Itis an undisputed fuct that over half of the entire population of the giobe resort to the ure of ordinary Uplastersi o o riie A De. Mzuvin's; Carstoum Porous PrasTErs are acknowlcdged By all who have msed them to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind, All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely differetit: the instant one is. applied the patient will feel its effect.. : Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Cagsxcum; and ithas always been more or tess used 4s.a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that jts advantages in & porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures eflected by Dr. MeLvin's Capsicum Porous PrAasTERg, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actu‘ally -prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the gide and back, and all such cases as have required t}xe use of plas-. ters or liniment. After you have tried other plas-. ters and liniments, and they have failed, and yon want a certain cure, ask your d-uggist for Dr, MEL vin's Carsioum Porous PLASTER., You can hardly beli¢ve your own convictions of its wonderful éffects: Althonglt %)o\vertfnl and quick in its action, you canrely onits safety for the most delicate person to wear; as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture of ord'mar_y. 'plustc-.rs. One trial is a sufficient gnarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends. : Ask 'your druggist for Dr. MeLvin’g CApsioum Porous Praster. and take no other ; or, on receipt of 25 cents.for one, §! for five, or §2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post-paid, to any address in’ the United States or Canadas. i MARUFAOTURED BY THE ~ ° Lowell, Mass,, U, 5.

Iread yonr advertisement in the ‘‘Louigville Courier-Journal,” that Vegetime was a great Blood Purifier and Blood Food: 1 tried one bot-tie,-which was a great benefit, IHe kept on with the medicine, gradnally gaining, He has taken eighteen bottles.in all, and he is completely restored to health, walks without crutches or cane.He #twenty years of age. I have a younger son, fifteen years of age, who is subject to Chills.— Whenever he feels one coming ou, ‘he comes in, takes a dose of Vegetine and that is thelast of the Chill. Vegetine legves no bad eflect mpon tho system like most of the medicines recomménded for Challs. 1 cheerfully recommend Vegetine for such complaints, I think itis the greatest medicine inthe world.” Respectfafly; = =-wsuge: = ¢ YO MRS.J.

STRANGER THAN FIOTION, A Tragie Tale and Its Singular Termin S oo ation, 00l /{Sedalia (Mo.)Bazood . ' ¥ A Bazoo reporter yesterday met & gentleman from Joplin who gave him the particulars of one of the most reémarkable divorce cases of which tg have heard. The tollowing-is the story: e o A lady sued for a divoree in J oplkg recently, and when it came up the startling developments of which we write were brought to light, and upon their strength it was granted. bl In 1863 the lady, then a young and handsome maiden, a resident of Stone county, South-west Missouri, married a worthy young man to whom she had long been engaged. Their union was a happy ene, and, as botlr had been reared. in the vicinity and were beloved and respected by all, they received the kindest benisouns of all who knew them. . 3 { .

- But the war was raging around them; and their locality was alternately oge cupied by each of -the "cﬁtmm'dfﬁ armies. A draft was about to be made, and the young husband, a month after his marriage, concluded to take advantage of the Government’s liberal officers and enlist, rather than run. the risk of being forced into its ranks without any emolument save the meager pay of a private.- . So he voluntarily enlisted -and became a private in the ranks of the Union army. His courage and intelligénce soon gained the respect of his officers and fellow-men, and in several hard-fought battles he distinguished himself to such an extent that his name was forwarded to the Department Head-quar-ters in St. I.ouwis; and in short time returned emblazoned in S

A SECOND LIEUTENANT’S COMMISSION.

. 'The regiment was then stationed in Northern Arkansas, and at this opportune moment, when he was so near to'all he held dear (for a son wasborn to him in his absence), he could not resist the temptation to obtain a short leavg of absence and visit his wife and child. L i :

This to him high-prized’ boon was easily obtained, and with his commission. in his pocket he- mounted his horse and started for home. With eager haste he pursued his journey, his mind being filled with bright visions of a happy meeting with his heart’s idols. At length the wellremembered land-marks came to view. - He was close to home. ,

- A few hundred yards of the leafy forest, and he wounld be in the opening where he could'see the smoke from the cot that contained his {reasures. How he wbuld surprise them! How his wife would ery for joy! How his bright-eyed babe would ——-

“Halt!” came a fierce order, in stentorian tones, from the bush that surwunded the road. Ere he could rein in his horse in obedience to the dread. summouns he was, as if by magic, sarrounded by twenty or thirty fierce and heavily-armed men,; whom his practiced eye told him were’ the most unrelenting fces that the uniform he wore ever had. ITisheart sank within him, brave as he was, for he knew there was no metcy in the breast of a. bushwhacker, for suehtliey wera, =™

A few questions were put toc him by the leader of the band, but they were more for form’s sake than any thing else. His uniform was a mute answer for all they wished: to know, while from his pockets, which . were rapidly turved ipgside out, wis a commission drawn-forth, which made them more eager for ‘his blood.

The leader of the band was a man near his cwn age, and to him he appealed and demanded that he be treated as a prisoner of war. His ‘request was treated with derision, and a moment more his legs were pinioned, and an ominous rope with a nocose at its end dangled from the limb of an adjacent tree. Again he appealed to lis captors, aud implored them to let him gee his wife and child but for a moment before he died. But even.as he supplicated, the leader put tlie fatal loop around his neck, gave a signal with his hand, and the unfortunate man was swung off into eternity with a prayer for his widowed wife and orphaned child upon his lips. The next day the corpse was discovered swaying in the wind by a passing soldier, who stopping at' the :next house (which happened to be the home of the officer), told the woman that there was a man hanging dead a short distance down the road, and it was better, ‘perhaps, he should receive a Christian burial. This was not unfrequent news in that locality, and nearly all thé men being in the army the sad work of interring the dead and caring for the wounded devolved upon the loneé women. And faithfully and tenderiy was 1t done, too, for they knew not but their own loved ones were being’ ¢ared for in a similar manner far off in some distant State.

So the woman procured help of others of her sex who lived in the neighborhood, and together they proceeded ‘on their sad mission. As they approached the corpse astrange foreboding passed through the mind of the woman who led them, for there was something familiar in that suspended form, even in the midst of its unnatural surroundings. The Dblood rushed back to her heart as she neared it. Suddenly the breeze swayed it round, and —oh, horror! in its distorted features she beheld the lineaments of her idolized husband, the father of her c¢hild, and she swooned away in adead faint upon the ground at the feet of him who in life was herall. -

Cruel was theblow that dashed down with one fell stroke all her earthly happiness, and in her agony she prayed for death, that she might join her murdered love inimmortality; butthe plaintive wail of her sweet babe aroused her to a sense of duty, and she felt that she bad something to live for and protect. ; : Tenderly and reverently was the' goldier-husband laid at rest in his narrow home by thefe sorrowful women, -whose sympathetic grief was his only buriul service. But the fairest flowers of the field and the forest were gathered by the grief-stricken widow and planted upon his grave. In the' sunny days of summer she would make daily pilgriniages by the lonely grave, and sit with tender memories while her' child- vrattled over the sod beneath which its father was moldering away. ; 5o ! vl Ten years passed. Aundthough time had healed the wounds in her heart, the love for him who had been the hugband of her youth was still faithful.- Her child had become a youth, and needed the sts;‘n;m&tmﬁxmgtiaﬁd ‘and experienced counsel of a father. She, too, 4 weak, lone woman, Was tired of fighting the battle of life, and yielded to the supplication of a man Wﬁi"mﬂ'iﬁ"ﬂﬂwﬁ“ﬂl&m

‘& happy, even tenor of connubial ex‘lstence. He treated her kindly and ‘affectionately, was a father to her son, ‘and an honest, industrious bread-win-g theni, all.

The Fost Valuable Gifts---Restoration - of the Health, : During the past ten years the Great Shoshonees Remedy has faithfully redeemed every promise and guarantee made to the public. Alarming and apparently hopeless cases of lung diseases, dyspepsia, liver complaints, afflictions of the kidneys and chronic complaints of every. description, including scrofula and skin diseases of life-long duration, :wp;,hsfn permanently removed and éradicated. Those who volunteered their testimony to the efhcacy of the Remedy, are not bogus people in unheard:-of localities of foreign countries bub respectable citizens of the country, easy. of access and open to questien, upon whose verbal recommséndations we are willing to rest the reputation of the Great Shoshonees Remedy. If you are afflicted, do not delay until medicine may be powerless to aid you. No injurious effects can possibly follow the use of these Indian Remedies, as they contain no minerals, by which the fate of the invalid is so often sealed under the form of some temporary sedative or stimulant. These Indian Remedies are widely known and still pessess the public confidence, after the .lapse of suflicient time to test their eflicacy. The Shoshonees Vegetable Sugar Coated Pills have won for themselves the most favorable reputation of any pill before the public. Their efficacy has been fully proved as a remedy for billiousness, sick headache and inactivities of the stomach. Price of the Remedy in pint bottles, $1; Pills, 25 cents a box. = S

. Spend Your Money at Home. | - 3 [Delphi Journal.] ! "We certainly have no desire to interfere with any gentleman engaged in a legitimate business. The law, and every sentiment of justice, guarantees the right for every man to,engage in business wherever he sees proper. The .same justice seems to admonish people to spend their money where it may possibly, “like bread cast upon the water,” return again to bless them, and certainly it is not wise for our people to spend their money -with these traveling establishments that bring none into the city and take away, entirely out of circulation here, all thas they get. Laboring men complain that they have nothing to do; that our merchants do not give them ‘employment; merchants complain of hard times and with great justice.-— When times, like the present, overtake us, it is certainly sound policy to keep our money in circulation at home as .much as possible. Patronize home trade, home merchants, home lawyers, ‘home doectors, home printers, and thus thousands of dollars will be ‘kept in ‘eirculation at-home instead of being cairied away. Show us atown where its citizens don’t patronize home in~dustries and we will show you a spiritlles, worthless, dead town. ==

Municipal Extravagance. It is evident to the most superficial observer that there must be a change, and a speedy one, too, in the management of our large municipal corporations. The experience of New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, and other cities is really appalling. In New York things have reached such a pass that, unless there is a speedy and sweeping reform, a confiscation

of property by the tax eaters will be inevitable. The World has been comparing the budgets of Berlin and New York—two cities of about equal size —and comments as follows: «The administration of the Berlin city debts figures in the budget at 0,512,660 marks, -If we subtract this from the total of the Berlin budget, we have 1n round numbers a little more than 35,000,000 of marks, or $7,700,000, to be raised for local administration in Berlin, as againt about $16,000,000 raised for similar purpeses in New York, after deducting the city’s share of State expenses, the interest on the city debt and the provision made for redemption and sinking fund. In other words, it costs a million of people in the capitol of the greatestnilitary empire in Europe less than half as much to get the capital administered-for-a-twelve month;

Ben Buatler’s Latest Scheme. - 7 [CincinnatiStar.] '

- There is much reason in Gen. Butler’s bill for a reissue of fractional currency and small biils. 'The commendable feature is that the bill does not propose an inflation but a substitution of fractional' currency and small bills for a pagt of the couin now in cirenlation. Silver in quanti"ties is too eumbersome, and it does not mecs all the requirewnents of a fractional currency. Silver halves and quarters cannot be conveniently sent by mail, and much damage has been done by entirely withdrawing the fractional paper currency, which wus especially convenient for this purpose. Postal orders are too.expensive for the transmission of such small amounts, and without the paper halves and'quarters many business t{ansuctions which, though small in themselves, are very great in the aggregate, are entirely stopped. The curreney should be so issued as to meet the wants of the people, and one of these is that of small bills and a proportion of frac-tional-currency that can be transmitted by mail. L - 3

A Sinking City.

The silver mines under Virginia City, Nevada, have so entirely undermined the city that it has already begun to sink and slide down the mountain side on which it rests, The movement ‘has been so uniform and gradual as to have been only recently. noticed. A water-main uncovered at a street-crossing was tound to be telescoped for a foot or two, and alzo bens badly. Other pipes are found disarranged in different parts of the city. A long ecrack has been discovered on the western side of the town about eight inches wide, the ground on one side of which is three feet lower than on the other. The International lotel is found to have started on its travels to a lower level since it was completed. It is ‘supposed that the passage of the silver bill had something to do in starting the city on its downward career. U e

What the threat of the pernicious Resumption Act has done and is doing with the volume of eurrency may be learned from the published interview of the Committee on Finance of the United States Senate with Mr. John Shermab, Secretary of the Treasury, March 19, 1878. frs e When the resumphio& act was passed (January 14, 1875,) the outstanding greenbacks amounted’ to $382,000,000. March 1, 1878, they had fallen to $348,~ 618,024. Contraction in three years, $33,381,796. (Pages; Pamphlet copy.)December 31, 1875, the outstanding National® Bank "notes amounted to $346,479,156. -Eebruar')g 28, 1878, they amounted to $299,240,475. Contraction in alittle over two years, $47,239,281. (Page 6, Pamphlet) | . . " 0 Since the passage of the resumption act, the contraction of the greenbacks and bank-notes, amounted, March-19, 1878, to the sum of $80,621,227, or-an average of $26,873,752 each year. .

Mr, Sherman estimated that,dedact~ ing*thosesthat may have-been lost or destroyed,and those held for outstand"ing bank notes—of banks in process of liquidation—the aggregate of bank notes and greenbacks was at that date (March 19, 1878,) $643,000,000.
