WEDNESDAY MORMNG, DECEMBER 15, 1886.
Th. Present Heston to be Changed by PosIm.Mer
Uonrral Vito*.
A new postal card Is about to be burned
by the postoffloe department, and will be
. ^® a . r ‘^ e t °I* , of tn ® card, and equidistant
* 8 t * e ®dges, is a profile Dor-
Thomas Jefferson, looking to^the
right, on a shaded background, inclosed
Wuhin several concentric circles, and rest-
■dress on this side.”
Immediately beneath the portrait and
*7° it tbe olrole8 appears the de-
nominotion, “one cent,” und on either
unshaded panels, with arabesque
f* r “‘“ at ‘ on8 - Ia , t h e title, “Postal Card,”
letters - Above the whole,
Inscribed upon a curved ribbon, are the
words “United States.” The design is
printed in black. The new cards wilUje of
the same size as those now in use, and of
the same color and quality of paper.
The old cards will continue to be valid
*nd postmasters will be expected to ex
haust their Mock of them before making
requisition for the Dew cards. Under no
circumstances are the old cards to be re
turned to the department for redemption
or exchange.
Free Trade.
The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenne stamps from Pro
prietary Medicines, no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers,as well as relieving
* , burden of home manufacturers. Es-
i> eo *mly is this the case with Green’s Au
gust Flower and Boschee’s German Syrup
as the reduction of thirty-six cents per
dozen, has been added to increase the size
of the bottles containing these remedies,
thereby giving one-fifth more medicine in
«ie 75 cents size. The August Flower for
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and the
■German Syrup for Cough and Lung trou
bles, have perhaps, the largest sale of any
medicines in the world. The advantage of
Increased size of the bottles will be greatly
Appreciated by the sick and afflicted, in
every town and village in civilized coun
tries. Sample bottles for 10 cents remain
the same size. octl2d&wly

Her eyes are hid behind a pair of glasses,
But swift she glances at him as she passes;

But if his faco intelligence expresses.

There seems to be no way of dissuading
Dormant B. Eaton from his wearisome
habit of writing weekly letters mourning
■over the untimely death of civil service re

should haul off and give the dead past a

A WONDERFUL REMEDY.
What fan be Done with an Article of Merit in the
Hand* of Progressive Men.
A whole page of this issue of the Courier
is occupied by the advertisement of the
greatest blood purifier that has ever been
known. The medicine has been made for
aver fifty years in Georgia, but has only
within the last ten years been prominently
brought to the notice of the public. The
arm which manufactures this medicine is
the largest drug establishment in the
south, and unites with an immense capital,
the most correct and successful business
methods, thoroughly protecting all who
trade with them, and giving every one,
from the smallest dealer to the largest
houses, fair profits on their goods. Their
success and the extent of their business
uan better be appreciated by a knowl
edge of the fact that their annual
sales in Evansville reach many thousands
nf dollars, and then advertise this season
only in the Courier and the Public. Such
success could only be attained with a
thoroughly reliable remedy, and this fact
almost makes it unnecessary to say a word
In its favor, further than the testimonials
which will be seen to-day on the third
page of the Courier. They are only a few
selected from thousands which have been
received. If any sufferer in Evansville
with blood trouble of any kind has not yet
tried this wonderful remedy, he should not
allow another day to pass over his head
before giving it a trial. It will certainly
do all that is claimed for it.—Evansville
(Ind.) Courier, Sept. 20, 1886.

in a supplemental sheet. News is news,
and president’s messages have long ceased

not be long before the newspapers will
give a brief synopsis of the message and
refer readers who wish the full text to the
Congressional Record.”
Weaken* on the Homestretch.
Hon. Henry L. Dawes is full of reform
ardor and can hardly restrain his im
patience to get at the tariff. There is this
Peculiarity however, to be noticed about
Mr. Dawes, that he is so much exercised
on the subject of revenue reform between
the sessions of congress that when the
time for action arrives he is too utterly ex
hausted to do anything.—Brooklyn Eagle.
O, the shaking of the ague 1
O, the tortures of Neuralgia 1
O, the misery of dyspepsia!
O, the wretchedness or headache!
O, the gripes of bilious colic 1
All of these will surely vanish
Like the snow befor the Southwind,
If you’ll only take Smith’s Bile Beans.
You can buy them at your drug store
For a quarter of a dollar;
And if you will only try them
You will never be without them.

What Should be Done.
Among others, measures should be
adopted suspending the compulsory coin
age of silver, redeeming the trade dollar,
establishing a national bankruptcy system,
regulating inter-state commerce, providing
for the rehabilitation of the navy and for
the defense of our present unguarded
coasts; but it is likely that all these things
will be postponed until a more convenient
occasion.—Philadelphia North American.
