VALUABLE INFO KM A 7 ION Boston, Dee, 12, 1869. Gentlemen— My only object in giving you this testimonial is to spread valuable informa tion. Having been badly afflicted with Salt Kheum, aud the whole surface of my skin be ing covered with pimples and eruptions, many of which caused me great pain and annoyance and knowing it to be a blood, disease, I took many of the advertised blood preparations, among which was any quantity of Sarsaparilla, without obtaining any benefit until l eommen oed taking the Vegetine, and before I had completed the first bottle I saw that I h.vd got the right medicine. Oonsequertly, I followed on with it until I had taken seven bottles, when I was pronounced a well man, and my skin is smooth and entirely free from pimples aud eruptions. I have never enjoyed so eood health before, and i attribute it to the use of Vegetine. To benefit those afflicted with Hhemnatism, I will make mention also of the Vegetine’s wonderful power of curing me of this acute complaint, of which I have suffered so intensely C. H. TUCKER, Pa*.

Custer’s Chivalry. 1 lie fate Of Gen Custer lias brought, vividly t*3 Blind a circumstance contuvt ed with that weary and severe campaign, which) commencing on the upper Rapi dan m the spring of 1864, stretched out in one long, sweeping battlefield around through the jungles ot the Wilderness, the slashes of Hanover, the pines of the Peninsular and the Dinwiddle forests, up to Amelia, Parmville and Appomat to.v. When active movements common, ced in May, 18G4, and Grant had com menced his swing fo the left, Lee facing him iii a parallel are, with Richmond as the object ot uncovering to one, and ot protecting to the other, the first few days were signalized by some ot the closest fights of the war. Grant’s cavalry had been thoroughly reorganized, and under Sheridan, with such lieutenants as Cus ter, Torbert and Wilson, was a tonuida ble body. The Confederate cavalry, too, was in the flower of its strength and confidence. Each feeling tor the enemy’s lines in the dense forests of Spotsylvania, aud frequently sadden en counters were the result,’ In one of these a regiment of Rosser’s command became suddenly engaged with a portion of that of Custer at very close quarters, necessitating a charge through a narro a' open space, up to the edge of the wood in which Custer’s men were posted, aud from which, being partly protected by a fence, they delivered a destructive tire, which, with their knowledge ot the enemy’ssuperiorposition and strength made tne Virginians falter. Rosser, as was bis wont, dashed into the open field to rally them. Of commanding and striking figure, lie did not dream that over that line of foes, directing and con trolling their fire, flashed an eye like Mars to command, but impressive as a woman’s to the claims of friendship, and which, even in the moment of bloody strife, recognizing him as an old Inend of West Point, was beaming upon him in kindness and love. There was a horseman that day m who wondered why the enemy’s fire so suddenly ceased, when Rosser, recognizing the us 'lessees* of a further attack, withdrew his men Rut the next day, as they kept moving by the line of the ,swing,’ a farmer lit hose bouse they passed handed a Con federate trooper a note addressed to General T. L. Ro.ser, which had been left with him by a Federal officer. The note was delivered as addressed, and read somewhat thus: Dear (The name used was the old familiar nickname of West Point, and not now remembered by this writer.) You expose yourself too niuoh on the field old fellow. I recognized you yes terday, and with difficulty saved your life by stopping my fire. Don't do so again, but h\e to laugh over old times, after the war, with you friend, G. A. Custer. P. S.— I whipped Fitz Lee on Wednesday, and intend to give you a good dressing the first chance I get iu a fair fit Id. As Kosser rode along at the head of his column of bold riders in gray, his dark face lighted with a pleasant smile as he read the letter, and he broke into a hearty laugh when he reached the postscript, remarking that ‘Fanny,’ (the nickname given Custer by his comrades for his fair complexion and waving blonde hair) always was a good fellow, but a little too fond ot bragging. Yet he came near making good his intention a short time rfter, when ho made a gal lant dash through Rosser's line at Tre villian's station, and impressed the Con federate boys with the belief that he was the most spirited leader of their enemies. —Alexandria ( Va.) Sentinel. Tomato Beer. A correspondent tells how to make to mato beer, lie says : GaMier the fruit once a week, stem, wash and mash it; strain through a coarse linen bag, and to every gallon of the juice add a pound of good moist brown sugar. Let it stand nine days, and then pour it off from the pulp, Which will settle in the bottom of the jar. Bottle it closely, and the long er you keep it the belter it is. When you want to use it, take a pitcher that will hold hs much as you want to use— for my family I use a gallon pitcher—fill it nearly full of fresh sweetened water, add some of the preparation already de scribed, and a tew drops of the essence of lemon, and you will find it equal to the best lemonade, costing almost noth ing.

Why Governor Samuel ,1. Tildcn Will be Elceted President. Becauso the merchant and Ranker sees in him a practical man of business, wiio does nothing at loose ends, and whose financial views, full of wisdom and inoder ition, tho results ot vast ex perience, will lead nobody into the bushes. Because the granger and the fanner beholds in him tho man with a clear head and an iron nerve, who will clean out the thieves, reduce the taxes, iestore confidence to tho grain and produce mar ke s, bring up the price ot lands and give the producer a living chance to cab hi* acres, as well as his soul his own. Because tne irishman knows our ex cellent ‘Uncle Sam' of old as one whose kind and liberal hand has been streched out over and over again to the men of 48; as one who, the companion of Addis Emmett and the associate ot O'Conner, was never known to go back on the spirit of 98. Because the German recognizes him as the champion of civil and religious freedom, the irien 1 of free schools, not a meddler in their Sunday pastimes or li cense laws, and the persistent enemy ot all rings and cliques that have heretofore misused them under tho guise ot friend ship. Because the colored man observes* in him the person and Presideui who will if elected, recognizes Ins rights un der the emancipation proclamation, en force all constitutional amendments in his interest, guarantee him full rights be tore the law, and see to it that his swid lers, both in and out of the Freedmeu’s bank and bureax, will have visited upon them swift and deserved punishment, that is accored in a penitentiary to t hteves and plunderers, be they native or foreign white or b'ack. Then again, because a vast majority of Americans, native and adopted, have been easy victims, under false promises of rings and cliques composed mainly of dishonest Radical politicians, wilii here and there a corrupt Democrat .injected, to give apparent, respectability to their illegal outrages and infamous swindles of the people of all classes wjio con stitute the masses. To all such ‘Un clc Sam” will pay his respects; his hand of justice will relieve the people, and they can then once more enjoy the bless ings of a free country, the liberty guarnn teed tin m as American citizens, and that this government sha'l be once again as originally designed.—[ Washington Capital. Max Adler Runs for the Presided <•>-. I have pretty much made up my mind now to run for the presidency. What the country wants is a candidate who cannot be injured by investigation of his past history, so that the enemies ot the party will he able to vake up things that nobody ever beard of before. If you know the most about a candidate, to begin, every attempt to spring things on him will be checkmated. Now, lam going to enter the field with an open record. lam going to own up in ad vance to all the wickedness I have done, and it any congressioal committee is disposed to prowl around my biography, in the hope of finding any dark and deadly deed which I have secreted, why, let it prowl. In the first place, I admit that I did tree a rheumatic grandfather of mine in the winter of 1859. He was old and inexpert in climbing trees. But with i eartless brutality that is characteristic of me, I van him out of the front door in his night-shirt, at the point cf a-shot gun, and caused him to howl up a maple tree, where he remained all night, while I emptied shot into his legs. I did this because he snored. I will do it again if I everfiiave another grandfather. I am as inhuman now as I was in 1859. No iheumat : o shall snoie at my house. The last time I ran for the presidency* there were some unpleasant talk about my implication iu a transaction with tb? widow Pollock's ducks. The matter was hushed up; but I have no objection to admitting the truth respecting it. I haye always bad a favorite theory that roast ducks were conducive to hysterical symptoms, and as every instinct of my nature prompted me to protect the wid ow from the ravages of hysteria, I en tered the coop in the garden, and regret fully but firmly removed the ducks. The fact that she began a prosecution against nn is not a matter of consequence. It is the fate of the philanthropist to be misunderstood. But duty is rny guiding *tar, and if it leads me to the ducks or destruct on I shall follow it. I candidly ack.owledge that I ran away at the battle of Gettysburg. My 1 friends have tried to smooth over (1 is fact by asserting that I merely got be hind a tree, that I did it for the purpose of imitating Washington, who went into the woods at Valley Forge to say his prayers. It is a miserable subterfuge. I struck out in a strait line for the tropic of Cancer, simply because I was scared. I wanted my country to be saved, but 1 preferred to have somebody else save her ; I entertain that preference yet. It the bubble reputation can be obtained at the cannons mouth, I am willing to go there for it provided the cannon is emp ty. If it is loaded, my immortal and in flexible purpose is to get suddenly' over the fenc" and go home. My invariable practice in war lias been to bring out of any given fight two-thirds more men than I took in. This seems to me to be Napoleonic in its grandeur. My financial views nre of the most decided character, but they are not like ly to, pet haps, to increase my popularity with the advocates of inflation or con traction. Ido not insist upon tlie special supremacy of rag money or hard money, The great fundamental principle of my lile is to take any kind that I can get. The rumor ttiat I buried a dead aunt under one ot my grape vines is founded upon fart. The vine* needed fertilizing, my aunt had to be buried, and 1 dedi c ited her to this high purpose. Does this unfit me for the presidency 1 The constitution of our country does not say to. No other citizen was considered unworthy ot the oflice because lie enrich ed his grape vines with hi* relations. Why should I be selected as the first victim of an absurd prejudice 1 I admit also that I am not a friend to the poor man. I regard the noor man, in his present condition, as so much wasted raw material. Cut up and prop eriy canned, he might be made useful to fatten the natives of the Cannibal Is lands, and to improve our export trade with that country. I shall recommend legislation on the subject in iny first message. My campaign cry will be ‘Dessicato the poor workman ! Stuff him into sausages.’ These are about alUthe worst parts' of my record. On them I come before the country. If my country don’t want me I will go back again. Jut I recommend myself ns a safe man—a man who starts from tlie basis of total depravity, and j urposis to be fiendish to the last.—[lb lustrated Weekly. * A in Parliament. lls name is J. P. Smyth, lie comes from Ireland, and he is a member of the house of conimous There was a debate on home rule, dull snd stupid, when this Mr. Smyth stands up from a back seat aud speaks nis little ‘peace.’ Before he gets half way through the prime minis ter lias turned to him with an attention he rarely seems to bestow upon any member. The whole house is silent and astonished, and when the speaeker sits down general and prolonged cheers break forth, and Iho orator fidns himself the lion ot the season. Did he then speak as an Irishman iu favor of Eng lish rule? Far from it, he denounced homo rule, only because it did not go far enough tor him, and demanded the absa lute separation of Ireland from England. Surely it must be ad mitted that an Eng lish audience will give a man fair play when even what would be deemed a half disloyal sort of speech is received with an applause which evidently startled liie speaker, aud lifts him at once from obscurity to lame. Tie Times declaie that the speech recalls the ‘palmiest days of Irish oratory.’ Everobody .says the same thing. It is to be hoped that some of the English members of the house will now study the style of the Irish gen man, aud then perhaps it may be posri ble to understand what they say What with affectations of the present day and the drawling aid murmuring and chop ping of r’s and iug’s (to say nothing of the h’s) which go on the English lan guage as spoken in England is fast be coming umutollgible. The women are worst —they try to out-vie each other in affected pronunciation gs they do in pul ling back their dresses. Let us hope that Mr. Smyth will help to banish all this disgusting humbug from the house of commons. Of course there will bo great curiosity to hear him again. He lias beeu five years in the house, never distinguished himself before. Ilis man ner, I am I did uot have the luck to hear his speeh-—was far from good aud he was very nervous. Yet he carried everything before him, It is the old story—, a mau who has any message to deliver to the world, and can deliver it with earnestness and force, is sure to demand a hearing from all.—Londou Letter. Grasshoppers Flunked. According to the Boulder (Col.) News Mr. James Gould, living near that point has added a nugget of knowledge to our grsshopper lore. He says that plowing the land before tho eggs hutch destroys them utterly. This being tho ease, the fanner only has to guard against those that hatch outside. This ho can eftbot tnlly do. Mr. Gould lias put in 120 acres of grain, and has kept the hoppcis oft, depending mainly on dripping coal oil in the ditches, lie has used sixteen gallons and destroyed millions. Almost :ts soon as they are hatched tho myriads outside instinctively move lor the fields ol young wheat, plunging in to cross the ditch and die at the touch of the kero sene. The ditch is fixed to make eddies, and a scum ofllie oil floats on the surface. Mr. Gould says that with what the tunn els now know about fighting tho hoppers there is ..o more danger from those that hatch in tho spring. .About those that come on the wing, late in the season, he says the remedy is to sow early, and then the crops will be out of danger be fore they come. A year ago it seemed aw if the locust scourge •might destroy Col orado farming, making the ciop so un certain that none would take the risks. Now it is certaiiilyjknown how to avert all this danger. It is a w;ndcful tri umph of the thought of man. He Ins done what it seemed impossible eotild ever be done, and henceforth the wheat harvest will be gathered in all the Col otado valleys, yeai utter year, in spite of the locust, thank heaven, and thank hu man invention too. The above paper says also that at a re cent horse show men from the various sections of the county all told the same story ot unwearying diligence and tri umpb over the hoppers, and represent that the crops never looked more proui ising at the season. Banjo lieu. a TERRrar.K fau from a suspension BRIDGE. From the St. Paul Pioneer aud Tribune, July 9. Yesterday morning the following brief paragraph appeared in these columns : Banjo Ben announces that he will walk the ‘tiller rope ot the suspension bridge at 3 o’clock this afternoon.’ Ben further intimates that he would like to see a crowd present, so that the hat may be profitably passed at the close of the per formance. True to his promise, ‘Banjo Ben,’ as he has been familiarly known at St. Paul and Minneapolis, walked down to the, new suspension bridge towers 11 little before three o’clock, and with a foolhardiness born of insanity or strong drink, and with the agility of a cat, clambered up to the working cable stretched over the east aud west piers ot the uncompleted structure. The ‘ca ble’ is a branch of wire not more than one inch through, over 100 feet above the ground, and stretching like a thread between the river banks. Had Ben‘s past career been of such a nature as to create a presumption that he was in earnest concerning his rope-walking venture, or had any estimate been placed on the value of his life, it is probable that the authorities would have prevent ed 1110 ‘exhibition.’ But Ben was queer, and many thoughtlessly gathered at the suspension bridge at three ’o’clock, the majority believing, after looking up to the thread swinging at its dizzy height that Ben would back out. But the ven turesome or insane Ben, wearing a pair of dirty white cotton gloves and old rubber shoes, clambered up to the cable and promptly began crawling down the slender wire, hand over hand, aud with nis rubbered feet crossing it. The crowd began to suspect that a sickening sight’was near them, lmtjthey continued to gaze at the dark object overhead. Ben crawled down the slope for a dis tance perhaps ol fifty feet, when it be came evident that the cable was hurting his feet. As if to rest them, he swun" his feet from the wire, and sustained the weight of his body with his bauds alone tor several minutes, and then began to struggle as if trying to raise himself up to the wire again. But his strength or courage had deserted him, and, after a few more ineffectual efforts to regain his position on the oabl?, his hands lost their cunning, and the crowd suddenly had its surfeit of tragic horror. Ben's bold was broken, the cable gave a peroeiptible bound upward, and a human body shot down to the earth ijjtfi (ha speed ot a rocket- alighting with a sickening ‘4hud’ op, the sloping bank of the river, about twenty feet from, the water, In the frightful descent the body had partially turned so that it fell sideways on the hard ground, and spectators rushed to the assistance of the mortally wounded J street musician aud amateur rope-walker J THE REGISTER.

Collecting a Debt. Mr. Spiggs, a fat man, ot Summer street, owed Mr. Shrimp, the grocer and provision dealer, a bill which the latter gentleman was anxious ]to collect, but which, tor some trivial reason, the fat man had declared lie would settle when he got ready and not a minute before. This saucy independence oil the part ot Spriggs irritated the grocer’s nature to such an extent that, finally, ho m.i lc the hold statement to hi- bookkeeper that if lie didn’t mortify Spiggs into paying that bill within thirty days lie would sell out to hiiu for litty cents on a dollar. The next alternoon Spiggs was pass ing tho store on the opposite side of the street when Shrimp ran to the door and yelled: ‘Come in here and pay that bill of yours, ami don't go sneaking down the street with yjtir head hung down like a sheep!’ •Spiggs took no notice of this demand, which seemed onlyAp heighten the cred itor's indignation. The following day ho saw Spiggs down town in company with a friend, when lie approached him and said: ‘You're a pretty man to be wearing a heaver hat, and here you are owing 1110 for the victuals you and your family stuffed yourselves with the Thanksgiv ing !’ lieturniuing home 110 encountered one of Spigg's daughters on her way with an associate to take a music lesson, when 110 said; ‘I should think, young lady, that you would lather go without knowing how to play and sing till your father gels so that he can pay for what you eat.' A day or two later he saw, through the window, one of Spigy's sons getting measured at the tailor's for a suit of clothes, when ho opened the door and said: ‘Don‘t you trust him a day for those clothes. Ilis lather has owed me SB6 41) for sirloin steak aud such things for over six mouths, and 1 can‘t get a dollar of it.' Soon after he saw Mrs. Spiggs and her daughter chatting with some ladies in the street-car station, when lie entered and said : ‘This woman's husband owes me for the soap that was used in washing that collar she‘s got on her neck, and I want my pay for it.’ About a week later he saw Spiggs riding out with a clergyman, when, after beckoning him to stop, he said : ‘You ought to be ashamed of yourself} Here you are passing yourself off to this minister ol the Gospel as au honest mdiif when you are OtViuj me for the starch used in doing up your shirt bosom ’ The next evening Shrimp ca’ledattUo house of Spiggs to see if he was ready to settle his bill, hut Spiggs was away. Mrs. Spiggs was at home, however, en tertaining some of her lady friends at the tea-table. Shrimps pushed hrs way into' the dining Doom and said.' ‘Ladies, the family whose hosintrflft/ you are now enjoyiug owes me for tin) flour that those hot biscuits there, on the centre of the table, are made from, aud I should like to get my mouey for it most oonfouudedly well.’ Passing out of the gate he met Jijp, Spiggs oldest daughter fn company with, a young man whom he suspected was_ her affianced, when he sajd: ‘That girl's cheek wouldn't look so. plump and lal it it hadn't been for me. I have beeu letting her have all the fresh, ’doughnuts aud balogna sausage she wan ted tor the past six months, aud the bill, hasn't been paid yet’ The young man looked as though he felt a little ashamed to be found iu such company, aud was commencing to move dowp tffe'Afreet, when the young lady gave wild shriek autf fell senseless Ur ilje sidewalk.
