A Strike on Principle.
Tbo Crispins (a shoemakers' union) have
•trnrk in Cincinnati, to the nnmber of 700,
having the halt, of nine huge shoo manofacto-
rios d.eertcd and aitent, in re.poct to hammer
uj leps'ons. Bat the atrike is nelthor for
higher wigrn nor for lem hours. Its immediate
cease was tbs refasal of tho manufacturers to
reoognizs tbo order ts a representative and con
tra Ming body,«nd to aooonut to it for tbe dis-
charge uf una of itl members from employ
ment
Well, it mty be laid that heroin lies the gist
of the whole matter. The Crispins have a right
to combine, bnt not to foroe peoplo into the
combination. It mast be voluntary. And so
of the manufacturers—Ihoy can lawfully corn-
line, alao, but they cannot lawfully foroe other
people into tbo combination. Thon, when the
ejnbinetion la effected, the whole character of
trade between them la changed. It takes the
fora of a chronlo war, and when aotlva host ili
um are not in progress, it is bat an armed
trues. Tbe entente eordiaU—tho mutual good
oadsntaadiDg and good will aro lacking.
And as a farther evil inoident to the system,
it impairs the sense of individual responsibility.
Both sides look tothoir combination rather than
themselves individually, nnd tbe combination
pats all Its members on a dead and unprofitable
level, whereas the differenoe in work and work
men ia immense. The whole system Is disas
trous In its lnflaonoe on tbo meohanlo arts and
•rtiaana in every point of viow, as wo firmly

MACON, GEORGIA* WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL ^ 1873.
Number^, 609
Congressional Convention In Saint
Lon I*.
St Ionia ia now agitating the project of a
great Convention of Southern and Western
Congressmen in that city sometime this spring
or early ia the rummer. It is s grand ides.
The South and Weat ahonld understand each
other, and agree to co-operate where their in
tercity are identical, and tte'r co operation will
almoet infallibly secure nog desired and defen
sible result. Neither want anything which is
not right sod conducive loathe general welfare;
bnt it la a fact that the great Weat has hitherto
been strangely uiod against her own moat im
portant financial and trade interests by the
strong itflienco of Eietera men and Eastern
capital concentrated in that section. She is
jaat now preparing to act and to think for her
self, and thla convention will have a powerful
influence in concentrating the Western mind on
a line of action.
What tbe Weat and IbsSonlh need more than
all things else material, ia cheap transportation !
For tho want of cheap transportation the Weat
is burning com for fuel at ten to fifteen cents
per bushel, while the Sonth is baying it for
food at an average of perhaps scarcely leas thon
$1 35. The Western farmer and the Bonihern
farmer aro alike crippled by this nnfortanate
situation, when a trifling exertion of lhe nation
al credit would obviate it forever by a system of
inland navigation indispensable to great na
tional and governmental interests, and vital to
more millions of psople than the Pacific Bail
road was to hundreds of thousands.
The West and the South Lave bat to say united
ly this Great Western and Atlantia Canal moat be
eonatracted, and itsoonstrnelion Is certain. The
saving In tronspcrlation effocted by that Im
provement divided between the Western and
the Bonihern firmer would at once place both
in a prosperous condition, while it would stim
ulate trade and exchanges in every section of
tho oonntry. The revival of agriculture in both
sections would vita':ze the markets for foreij
and domestio trade of every description, and we
doubt not lbs country would realize every year
in the improved condition more than the total
coat of this new and much needed avenne ef
internal traffic.
When, therefore, tbe invitation comes from
St. Lonia, let the whole Sonth respond to it with
ardor and enthusiasm, and be prepared to as
sert the demands of the situation with all the
ardor, energy and intelligence we possess.
An India Robber Iniquity.
The so-called “Enforcement'^ Act most be
one cf the most flexible deviltries that was
ever devised to annoy and oppress any poople.
We read that three man down in Colquitt
oouuty have been put in jail for five months and
heavily fined, for whipping tbe “pal" of an un
speakably scoundrelly chap in that county, who
had installed a atrnmpet in his house, compel
ling his wife and family to associate with her.
This sentence was imposed by a Federal judge
at Savannah, though tha State law abundantly
provides for dealing with and p.nnishing such
offencos.
Next wo read in the Savannah News of Mon
day, that a negro receiver of stolen goods in
that city, from whose clnlches the city detec
tives rescued a lot of freshly developed “ ma
terial resources" the other day, went before the
Foderal Grand Jury on Saturday for the pnrposo
of having that body indict tho detective for his
notion in the matter. What the issue of this
cose will be we are not yet informed, bnt it
soems tons that the negro's chances ere reason
able fair for a trno bill.
There seems to be aa mneb India rubber in
the scope of the act as oonstrnod by Federal
officials at tbe Sonth, aa there was in the con
sciences of the men who devised it, and we shall
not be astonished to see it invoked after awhile
to settle d.fficaltles of all kinds between whites
and blaoks. We were oonyinoed at the time of
its passage that its true intent was to taka sway
alllarisdiotion by State oonrts in oases where
vagabond negroes were satisfied they would got
their deserts before those trlbnnals, and its
workings have abundantly oonfirmed that be
lief. It was oonoeived in a spirit of oold, ornel
malignity unknown in any other civilized conn-
try since the birth of (be present centnry, at
least, and in the hands of sneh tools as the Bad-
iotl administration has for the most patt se
lected to work with in this section, we may ex-
peot to see it administered in a similar spirit.
The negroes know thia only too well, and aneh
knowledge is bearing its legitimate trait every
dly. ___
While lloasn Expenses.
The ohief argument made in favor of doub
ling the Presidential salary was that the Presi
dent needed at least $50,000 a year to aopport
hia honsehold and maintain the slate that his
angaat office demands. Bat this argument al
anines that all the expenses of tho Presidential
honsehold are defrayed ont of tho Presidential
salary, which ia not the fact. The aDnnal
Congressional appropriations for tha White
Honse and the honsehold are larger than the
salary itself, and It is a feet worthy of being
noted, tbat these appropriations have been three
times as large under Grant as under Lincoln,
as the following table which the Sr. Loots He-
pnblican has compiled shows:
For Lincoln, 1861: For secretary to sign
patents, $1,500; for private secretary, steward
and messenger $1,600; for contingent expenses
of exeentive office, $3.000; for two night watch
men, $1,300; for two doorkeepers, $1.200; for
one furaeos keeper, $600; for fuel, $3.100; for
repairs of honse and for famltnre, and for im
proving groundpdfebsse of plants, and all
contingencies, $6,000; for repairing summer
residence at the “Old Soldiers' Home,” $3,000.
Total for Linooln, $23,000.
For Grant. 1S73: For secretary to sign
patents, $1,500; for private secretary, assistant
secretary, ateward. messenger, and two execu
tive clerks, $13,800; for oontigent expenses of
ex entice office, $6,000 ; for one watchman and
two polio* men, $8,510; fer two doorkeepers
and one neber, $3 GOO; for one fnmaoe keeper,
$720; for fnel, $5,000; for “annuaT repairs
of honse and forfnrnitnre, and forrepaira. eto.,
of preen house, $35,000. Total for Grant,
$69,000.
Now, it Linooln was able to save one-half
his salary, as it Is said be did, at a time when
gold was a good deal higher than now, why
should the tax-payers of the oonntry have to
stand an extra twist of the screw to enable
Grant to save a great deal more than that ?
New York Money Market.
Onr telegrams yesterday reported the New
York money market on Monday decidedly easier
—free from exoitement and all apprehensions
of a crisis passed away. Tbe week Spened with
a general improvement in stocks—a sale of
Southern bonds amounting to $200,000, and
the daya' operations closed with steady prices
and an improved demand for prime commer
cial paper. Upon the movements daring the
previous week, we quote the following from the
Financial and Commercial Chronicle of Satnr.
day:
There was on Wednesday a feeling of de-
presaion in conacqnence of lhe break In stocks
and tbe failure of quito a prominent firm of
stock brokers, following upon tbe failure
of Messrs. Escher A Co., silk importers,
orevionslr announced; but a speedy re
covery li tone soon took plaoe, and to day
there was s more cenersUy cheerful feeling on
the street than wehave noticed for eome time
past Tbe exoeaaive ratea for money, ao long
maintained, have led to the anspension of three
very respectable atock brokerage firms, and
it is rather ar. evidence of strength that
firms have not been obliged to suspend. The
rates paid for money ranged j, j. c. l-tO per
cent * day on Moedsy;on Tuesday at f. j. 3 16:
Wednesday at }, J, in the morning, end np to :
and after the break in stocks; Tnnrsdsy at :
(c i in the morning, and down to 7 gold st the
close: to day (Friday) the tango was * to ± in
tbe mornieg, and in the afternoon 1 16, 1 32,
7 gold, and 7 currency.
In commercial paper there ia more business
doing on the basts of 12 per oent. for first-
-i... names; some very choioe paper having
been sold as low aa 10 per oenL, though this
rate Is quite exceptional.
Tbe Grand Jury, winch has been investigat
ing the sabjeet of violation* of tbs usury law,
has apparently found aa Indian—art ***inst the
law instead of tta violators, and baa appealed
to th* Legislator* for it* abaopttoB.
Tho rase of Phelps, Dodge A Co.
Bays the New York Financial and Commercial
Chronieis, since the ease of Messrs. Phelps,
Dodge * Co. hsa been folly settled with the gov
ernment the firm has very properly published a
letter giving to the public a history of the whole
trsnuotion, and vindicating their own reputa
tion. Tbe amount of money involved ws* cf
sma’l importance compared with tbe qneation
of the honor aid high standing of one of tbs
oldest sed most highly respected mercantile
houses in this city. We believe that to every
candid reader the letter of Messrs. Phelps,
Dodge A Co. will esxry the conviction not only
that they had no intention of defrauding the
Government, but that their whole transactions
with the Custom honse, involving the entry of
some $10,000,000 of goods in five years post,
have been singularly free from frands or eva
sions of the 1st. The substantial facts ere os
follows:
That the Liverpool agent of Messrs. Phelps,
Dodge i Co , in the effort to meet the almost
unfathomable intricacies of onr tariff law, was
accustomed to state the value of small nnd nn-
important parts of invoices, sometimes a little
below and sometimea a little above what they
-h:u!J have been, the exact troth, as investiga
tion subsequently showed, being that tbe chargee
in qneation on the aide of over-valuation, and
m lavor of the Government, were very largely
in excess of those in the direction of under
valuation.
A clerk discharged by Messrs. P. D. A Co.
for being suspected of assistance in tbe famous
theft of their private papers some time since,
informed the Government that they had com-
muuwi franls On r*quvct tbe firm voluntarily
surrendered oil their nooks and papers to the
officials, and after a fall investigation it appears
tbat oat of alt the firm's entries for fire years
past, amounting to over $40,000,000, on whiob
they bad aclnaliv paid $8,000,000 in duties, the
Government officers selected 52 invoices, on
which they claimed that errors had been made.
The total veins of the whole of these invoioes
was $1,000,000; tbe whole valne of the goods
in those several items where errors were olaimed
was $271, 017 23; the total loss to the govern,
ment from non-payment of proper duties was
$2,000 to $1,000. Tbe government admitted
tnst there was no intention to defrand, bat
claimed tbat they oonld technically demand the
whole $1,0DO.i/kj, and fioally compromised on
the payment of tbe $271,017.23.
Thus it appears tnst under onr tariff laws,
and tbe decisions thereon by the Treasury, one
of the first hcasea in onr city has accidentally,
through errors of (heir foreign agent, under
valued goods so that the Government lost
$2,000 to $4,000 in five years (though acintliy
having lost nothing, as the errors ot over valua
tion were more than those of under valuation),
an] that in consequence of ibis they have been
mulcted in the earn of $271,017 23, over $60,-
000 of which goes to tbe clerk who had previ
ously been discharged for being inspected of
assisting in a scandalous theft ot their private
correspondence. This was a firm which had
actually paid $8,000,000 in customs daring the
five years named.
THE HI.SDM4X AMUSDIAIIOJ.
Testimony on Application for Habeas Cor-
The True Origin or ltae Bloody Riot
In Lonlalnnn.
The Tribane haa co diffiaalty in fixing tbe
responsibility for this affair upon tbe right
shoulders sod its origin is clearly and boldly
pointed ont in the following extrsot from a
leading extract in its issne of Saturday.
It soys:
It is found in thu asms act of usurpation which
plaoed Kellogg in the Governor's chair, and
sustains him there in tbe face of the develop
ments of tbo Senate investigations snd the
vigorous denunciations of so many of tbe Be-
pnblioan leaders in Oongress. The outrage
committed on tbe election retnrns in (he rent
of the State was also, as well as the faota can
be sifted from tbe conflicting and confasiog re
ports, perpetrated in Grant Parish, where the
Kellogg board disregarded tbe votes Actually
cast, and gave the certificates to the Bspnbli-
can oandidites, who cirtainly had not re
ceived a majority of the ballots. For
some reason not explained, only one of
these persons qualified daring tho time
fixed by law. Mr. Kellogg therenpon issued a
now set of commissions, snd by tbs advioe of
a resident of tbe pariah (who seems to have
been one of the first sufferers from the riot) he
gave them to the candidates who hsd been
honestly elected, whether llepnhhcanH or Fa-
sionists. It was then that the negroes, under
tbe leaderahip of a colored man named Ward,
who bad been defeated as a candidate for the
Legislature, bnt admitted to the seat by the
Lyoch retarning-board, on the ground tbat he
might have been eleoted if somebody had not
broken open a ballot-box, revolted against
what they regarded as white domination, and
fortified tbe ooart-botue to keep ont Kellogg’s
newly-commissioned officers.
Thia, at least, was the first account, A later
one represents that the beleaguered party of
negroes composod a posse aseUting the new
Kellogg sheriff against the old Fusion or Demo-
oretio claimant. In either case, is it not natural
that nn ignorant and degraded people, like the
negroes of many of the remote parishes of
Lonissns, should infer from the reoent transac
tions at New Orleans and Washington, that the
oarpose of the Federal Government waa to de-
ivor the Stale into their bands? They cannot
have forgotten tbat daring the campaign the
Administration leaders were cirefol to array
them against the white population, to frighten
them wiih the prospect of a revival of slavery
if the old slave owners ever got into office, to as-
snre them that tbs canss of Grant end the cause
of the black man were identical, and that the
re-election of the President would eUva’e the
colored race to plaoe and power, and pat their
old masters forever under their feet. They
know that in the November eleotion the blaek
man's party, oreated by these representations,
was defeated at the polls. They know that it
wa* nevertheless immediately installed in power
by mililsry foroe. Tney know that it la sustained
by the President in defienoe of law and of the
remcnstraoce* of some of his own warmest
friends. What is more natural than for them
to assume that they might do on a small scale
what their leader Kellogg hod done on a large
one 7 Their man Ward imagined that ha bad
learned a great deal daring his sojourn in New
Orleans, and when be harried borne to stir up
the insurrection he found apt and eager pupils.
American vs. Indian Cotton.
The British Cotton Trade Bsport for 1872
says tbat the past year hoi been one of oonstant
anxiety and general unprofitableness, while to
the importers of Eist Indian cotton tbe year has
been one of nnmixed disappointment. The
latter fast is dae to tbe tenacity with which oon-
snmen, notwithstanding the high range of
prices, have clang to American snd long stapled
cotton, snd also to the persistent refnisl of the
hands to work Sant ootton. Ths substitution
of East India for American ootton would there
fore appear impracticable. The manufacturer*
of British ootton goods have for some time been
■hipping their prodnet* to F.uternAsis, and the
ooneamptlon has risen in Chins daring the last
twenty yetrs from tiro oents to nearly eight
cents per head, while in Japan, daring the asms
period, it has risen from nothing in 1851 to
fourteen cents per head in 1871.
Beoently, hewever, thU trade has been check
ed in consequence of tbe mildewed condition of
tbe goods, arising from the nae of nndae quan
tities of the size employed to work np interior
ootton snd increase ths weight of tbe ololh. To
such sn extent these deceptions have been car
ried that the Shangbae Chamber of Commerce
has recently presented to the Manchester Cham
ber of Commerce a formal oomplaint, setting
forth the Tsrione imperfections in British goods.
This commercial dishonesty and it* results show
that American manufactures snd shippers who
have been driven ont of the Chins trade by the
cheap weighted goods of Manchester have now
sn opportunity of recovering their former poai-
tion in the trade.
Building in New York.
The spring opening of the New York build
ing trade Indicates s serious falling off in real
estate enterprises that oome under this head.
The decrease is both in aggregate and detail,
extending to stores, warehouses and dwellings.
Daring tne first week in April last year the
offi-'sl exhibit showed under coarse of con
struction eighteen first-class dwellings, thirteen
tenement houses snd forty-seven plans. Bnt
ths statistics for ths present month indicate a
serious stagnation in building operations. Of
first-oloas buildings there ore none. Tbe tene
ment bouses going np nnmber twenty-four,
because there is leus risk in undertaking them
probably.
For this state of things the unsettled condi
tion of the labor market and unreliability of
workmen who improve oil opportunities to
strike, or* held largely responsible. The amount
raid for building Improvements this year will
h* *5 ooo 000 less than was invested last, which
in tnni was s reduction of $5,000,003 over the
veer before it. Thus the largest city of the eon.

Mzxphzs, April 19.—1*5wig Yaoghn, alias
Frank Bardett, charged with tastssioation of
G«d. Hindman, of Helen*, Ark., on the night
of September 26, 1863, wu brought before
Judge Halsey, cf the Second Circuit Court to-
d*y on a writ of habeas corpus. J. D. Adams
appeared in behalf of the prisoner: Judge
Ccarlee W. Adams and CoL Cayoe Young for
the prosecution. Mrs. Mary Hindman, widow
of the deceased, was the principal witcess. She
identified the prisoner as a man oailing himself
Frank Bnrdetc, claiming to be a son of tbe
former Police Commissioner, and who had writ
ten her several letters making her to come to
Memphis and he would re veal the whole plot
of the assassination of her husband. On the
night of the 15th inst. he came to her room mt
the hotel, mud told her in the presence of Jadge
Mangam that the praty who killed Gen. Hind
man was hired to do it by John P. Moore and
Dr. Linthcnm, of Helena; that his motive in
disclosing the plot wag pur.ly from conscience,
bnt principally from revenge, as Dr. Linthcnm
had tried to poison him last summer when he
was sick; that on the night of the assassination
he and the man who fired the 6hot after load
ing a double-barrelled shot gun in a blacksmith
shop near the General’s honse, went into
the yard leaving L nthonm holding the horses
outside; saw tbe gaceral through the window
sitting in a large rocking chair with his feet in
another, smokicg his pipe; his back waa to
them and they went to another window where
they had a view of his side face; when the gnn
waa fired be heard ter shrieks and would have
given the world to recall ten minutes. He then
mounted his horse, made his way to Marianna,
and thence to Tennessee, and also stated tbat
he had a photograph of her honse and all the
parties concerned. When asked who fired the
shot, he said he would get Captain Clecdanning
and return in two hours, and she should know
all. He then asked her if she t.ai told any one
in regard to his letters. SLe had, and told him
she came near making a confident of Linthcnm,
and he exclaimed * ( My God, if yon had, he
would hare murdered me,” as Linthcam had
taken him to Helena to kill Hir.dtuan. The let
ters written by Vaughn were shown to witness
and identified.
On cross crimination she said Vaughn told
Judge Mac gem he did not want money; re
venge was what be wanted, and meant to have
it. Witness was then questioned in regard to
the assassination of her husband and was very
mnch affected in detailing tbe bloody work.
She was accompanied by her littlo son who
hai just gottonont of his father’s lap when the
fa f al shot was fired.
Chief of Polioe Athey identified the letters
and said Vaughn told him they were written at
tbe instance of other parties. When a*ked
why he did not return to see Mrs. Hindman as
he promised Saturday night, Vanghn said it was
because tbe police chased him when be went to
the Appeal office to get the letter. Had known
tbe prisoner for eight mouths, first as Flowers
and then as Vaughn. Vanghn had proffered
his services as a detective when the safe In the
police office was robbed, bnt he (Atbey) bad no
confidence in his (Vaughn’s) honesty. When
he arrested him la&t Sunday Vanghn remarked
‘’you have pulled me abont those Hindman let
ters.”
Detect!vo Harry Cranmer testified to abont
the same. Had known tbo prisoner by his dif
ferent aliases; said tbat when Vanghn was ar
rested ho told him ho had written the letters,
but was very reticent abont tbe matter.
Mrs. Quackenbunb, of Nashville, testified:
Was mother of the prisoner; his name was
Lewis Vaughn.
Several other witnesses were introduced, bnt
nothing of importance elicited. The prisoner
was at work at Sailors* liest near Clarksville,
Tenn., at the time of the murder. After a
lengthy argument Judge Halsey remanded tho
prisoner to jail to await a requisition from the
Governor of Arkanaag, which is on the way.

THE OSE-CEXr 1’OiTAL CARDS*
Description of the Kent Little Piece of
Pasteboard Issued by the ttovernment
for the Convenience of the FnbUc.
Wxsmsazos, April 16.—Tbo Third Assist
ant Postmaster General (E. W. Barber) has
given notice that tbe necessary appropriation
having been made for the purpose, the depart
ment will, on tbe first of May next, commence
tbe issna to postmasters of the postal oard au
thorized by the aot of Jnne 8, 1872.
Tbe card adopted is five and one eighth inches
in length and three inohes in width, and is
made of good stiff paper, watermarked with the
initials U. B. P. O. D. in monogram. Tbe face
of the oard ia engraved, surrounded by a border
in scroll work one-eighth of an inch in width.
The one-oent stamp printed on the npper right
band corner, is from a profile bnst of the God
dess of Liborty looking to the left and sur
rounded by a lathe-work horde.?, with the words
“U. 8. Postage” inscribed above, and “one
oent” below.
On tho npper left-hand corner are the words
“United States Postal Curd,” wi .h tbe directions
to “write tbe address only on this aide—the mes
sage on tbe other.” Underneath, and occupy
ing the lower half of tbe card, are rnled lines,
on which to write the address, the top line be
ing prefixed with the word “To.”
The back of tbe oard, intended for the com
munication, is entirely plain, being devoid even
of rnled lines. In color, the body of the card
is light cream, the printing velvet brown. No
variation in size, shape, color, or any other par
ticular, will be made from the regnlar style to
accommodate speoial cases, nor will the depart
ment do any printing on tho cards beyond the
engraving specified in the description.
Postal cards will be sold for one oent each,
neither more nor less, whether in large quanti
ties or in small. The object of tbe postal cards
is to facilitate letter correspondence and provide
for tbe transmission through tbe mails at a re
duced rate of postage, of short communications,
either printed or written in pencil or iak. They
may therefore be used for orders, invifations,
notices, receipts, acknowledgments, and other
requirements of business and social life. And
the matter desired to be conveyed may be either
in writing of in paint, or partially in both. In
their treatment as mail matter they are to be
regarded by postmasters the same as sealed let
ters, and not as printed matter, exoept that in
co ca*e will unclaimed cards be sent to the
Dead Letter Office.
An ordinary printed business card may be
sent through the mails when prepaid'by a one-
oent postage stamp attached ; bnt such oard
mast contain absolutely no written matter ex
cept the address. Otherwise it will be treated
as not fully prepaid, and ref need admission in-
the mails.
All cards different from those herein describ
ed, bearing embossed nr printed postage stamps,
and purporting to be United States postal cards,
are oonuterfeu, and tbe manufacture of snoh
cards, or the attempt to use the same, will sub
ject the offender to a fine of five hundred dol
lars and imprisonment for five years.
Postmasters will not, under any circumstan
ces, be permitted to redace or exobauge postal
cards that may be misdirected, spoiled in print
ing, or otherwise rendered unfit for use ia the
hands of private holders.
The department will not famish less than five
hundred card* on the order of a postmaster. In
dividuals desiring postal oards will purchase
them of a po6tma«ter, aa in no cise can they
obtain them upon direct application to the de
partment.
Rocxdt job Cobns.—When a young man,
says a correspondent of the Oonntry Gentle-
min. I used to be very mnch annoyed by those
painful excrescences cilled “corns’' on the toes
and feet, until I was told of m very simple bnt
effective remedy for them by some person. It
was to bathe the feet in tepid water, to soften
them; then pare them off very closely with a
sharp knife; then mb on well green poachtree
leaves; when, after continuing the rubbing
onoe or twioe a day, the corns will entirely dis
appear, and not return, without the. oanse which
first oooMioned them. I have often tried the
remedy, and never jet found it to fail. It seems
to be the prussic acid ia the peachtree leaves
that takes them away.
A good oorn aalve oonld r.o doubt be made for
winter nae, by braising the peach leaves when
green; then boil them in water until the
strength ia extracted; then take out the leaves,
strain the water off the sediment, and add a
sufficient quantity of rosin, beeswax, tallow and
lard oil to make it soft enough, and simmer
down, without burning, until the water is evap
orated. Scfien and pare the corneas before
directed, spread it on a small piece of cambric
or linen, sud apply, putting on the sock or
atocking carefully, eo as not to rub it off. Keep
applying until the com disappears.
Tnx Columbia Cabal—Thz Upshot or Sena

Tbe Story of a Lost Will.
Two or three moDtha ago, says the Detroit
Free Press, J. Rowell, a furniture dealer, set
abont overhauling a desk filled with old papers
—papers which had been accumulating on bis
hands for several years, until he could scaroely
say where or how be got them. After throwing
away a bushel or mure of the documents, he
came upon a paper sealed and tied with red
tape. He could cot remember having seen it
before, and wes aimz^d when he broke the
seal end reid, “Last Will and Testament of Is
rael Whitworth.” Getting farther down, he
foand that the p&ptr was nine years old, and
that the will gave to “Margaret Davis, my sis
ter, or her children, the Gordon farm, situate
two acd one-half miles from St. Joseph, Mo.,
together with all live stock and farming uten
sils ; farther, tbe sum cf #5,000 in bank in St.
Joseph (unless I shall have withdrawn it), my
gold watch, my honsehold furniture, and one-
half of what my house in St. Joseph may
bring at private sale.”
So read the will as far as the si&ter and her
kin was concerned, and then Whitworth made
bequests to several other relatives. The will
was dated “Detroit, August 10,18C3 ” It oc
curred to Mr. Rowell that the will might be of
some aocount to some one, and be wrote to
Mrs. Davis, directing the letter to St. Joseph,
Missouri. In abont two week* he received a
reply from her, d«ted at Weeton, same State,
his letter having been forwarded to that point.
She stated that Ler brother bad been dead near
ly eight years, and that she had never known
of a wiLL The property had been divided
among four near relatives of the deceased, or
should have bees, bat three of them had cheat
ed her ont of the most of what fell to her in
dividing np. She farther stated that her
brother had a oonain in Detroit years ago, and
that he was in thia city on a visit abont the date
of the wilL The cousin’s name was signed as
aa one cf the witneeaeo, and a Mr. Johnson,
now in Cincinnati, was tbe other witness.
Rowell sent on the will, and received a grate-
fat letter from tbe woman, who said that the
will had been admitted to probate there, the
witnesses called on, end that she had been put
in possession of nearly #20,000 through hi*
finding the wilL Bhe cautioned him to lookoni
for an express package, and will probably send
something handsome. The pnailing thing of
the whole is that Rowell can’t tell where or
when he got the will, nor imagine bow the de-
eeaeed eeme to leave it where it would fall ixio

SYMPTOMS OF CHRONIC CATARRH.
BY DR. J. A. JONES.
T HE abovo out represents DR. JONES* new
method of coring disease* of the Lung* and
Thro it. Asthma, llrouohitia. Trachetis, Layringefc-
is, Consumption, Enlarged Tonsils, Pieuntia,
broakiug np Congestion of tho Lungs and Liver,
and effecting curo3 of the lie»piratory Organa with
certainty aud oaao, that cannot be reacted by any
other method.
Hia remedies are roduced to warm spray—are
specific in their nature; thov reach tho whole dis
eased surface at every breath ; they are carried di
rectly into tho blood without having to go through
the process of digestion: only certain prepared
remtdrod can bo uaod by this eystem
A few so-called family doctors are experimenting
with tho Inhaler aud their Caustic*, iodine* and
othor relic* of barbarism peculiar to that practice—
tho result is, they are dvatroying the xopntation of
the only system that will cure Throat Disease*.
Only certain mild remedies can be taken into tbe
Lungs and they ai o not kept by druggists nor known
to tho general profession.
1st. Of the hoad—hoavy, dull, aching over tbe
eyoa, sometime* extending back through different
parts of tho head, and causing a weight or heat, of
colduoas on top of tha head, snapping and crack
ing noise in the ears, dullness of hearing— often
the secretion collects iu middla ear, closing up the
eustachian tube*, producing deafness—the lining
membrauo being the same f rem the hoad through
tbe whole ahmentary canal, and down into lhe
Jnogs, it b.’id but to extor.d itself to affoct the whole
system. It becomes virulent in the nose some
times. erasing a tende-rnesa, or producing cffen«-lve
breath, discharge s of jollowish matter and »caba
the shape of the nostrils, or if the partition bor e
is only affected, then the Ischara aro fUt* ana
whoa they discharge, which is generally after exor-
tion, the note ia open, tho patient breathes more
easily and the head feels more clear—the heavi
ness over tho eyes and acroeB the forehead ia ael-
dom entirely gone, but it la aggravated by every
fresh cold. The offensive smelt for which the tm-
fortunate chewe many kinds of drug* to neutralize
or destroy, and thoroby bo enabled to go into soci
ety without being a positive nuisance, which per
sons of both sexes are, on account of thia barbar
ous and offensive diao&se, called OZOENA, which
has now assumed a Tertiary form of cancer, des
troying everything but tho outside skin, lotting
tho nose sink in, extending to the throat, destroy
ing tho voice, etc, when the diseaao ia called Li;
ryugitis, Trachetis, Bronchitis, etc.
SYMPTOMS OF THS THROAT.
A collection of tenacious slimy secretion allin
down into the throat and thrown out—tickling,
rasping, hoarseness and scraping to koop opon the
wind pipe; difficult breathing, oppression and sore
ness unoor tho breast bone ; leudernoB* in tho left
side; ilioumatio paiua between tho shoulders
stiff neck on taking cold ; palpitation of the heat;
torpid liver; Borne times yellow complexion; gen
eral dull and hoavy fooling ; extreme shortness of
bio&tli ; soreucKuof Stomach pit« bloated sensa
tion ; bolching of wind ; yawuiDg, gaping, keep
ing mouth open to breathe; distress, sleepiest
nights; worse when lying down, and it now termi
nates either in Consumption of tho LungB, or fol
io wa tho mucous membrane through the whole ali
mentary and urinal canal, causing Dyspepsia, Cos—
tivonesp.riles. Inflammation of the Bladder,trouble
in the Urinary Organs, Cand in womon, nearly the
whole train of fem&lo diseases), and general Con
sumption, emaciation, complete prostration, eto.
with all of which, and many othor symptoms, call
ed by twenty different names, the sufferer may ex
ist for a while. Dr. Jones cures this dangerous
and insidious disease by the iErien Bystem—using
specific medicines known only to bimeelf, applied
to the diseased surface, iu the form cf spray. He
relievos tho sufferer in a few minute*, and sup
plies the patient with all that is required to finish
the cure at home.
OZOENA,
n Offensive Disease in tie Nose.
Which cats away tho partition bone, destroys
the sense of sniuli, produces green or yellowish
scabs, the shape of tho nostril—sometimes fiat, of
ten tainted w.th blood and matter; causes weight
and dull aching over tho eyes, headache, loss of
memory, giddiness, etc. Thia disease is often
caused by neglected colds, by suppressed skin dis
eases, Scrofula, Scarlet Fever, Psoriasis, Hyphilis,
and ether contagious diseases, and is it«elf conta
gious. It often oxtonds to tbe throat, producing
Hoarseness, Bronchitis and CONSUMPTION. Is
is a Tertiary form of Cancer, DESTROYING the
NOSE and THROAT when too long neglected. DU.
JONES ia the ONLY Physician in tho United 8tato«
who thoroughly understands cnriDg this dangerous
and offontuvo disease. Ho destroys the offensive
smell in FIVE MINUTES, and relieves the *uffer-
er in every way AT ONOE, and CUBES the disease
in a short time. For this disease Dr. Jones haa
special instruments with which to apply his specific
remodioa to tho spot. Nasal Do ch^e and catarrh
remedies'generally drivo this dise.se to the lungs
more quickly.

SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH.
Prevalent in America and Europe.
1. Of the Head.—Tirglirg, itching, with a sense
of drynoaa and obstruction of the nose, sneezing,
running of a watery socreticn; as it progresses,
tho secretion become* mucous, entire obstruction
of one or beth nostrils, nawking, tickling of the
throat, coughing, etc. 2. Catarrh of the Choet pre
vails as an epidemic sometimes, and is called influ
enza; with or without fever, and many of the
eymptoms Just mentioned; there iB oppression
across the breast, rawness and turning of the
throat, first dry, afterward a copious secretion of
m icons, which may become opaque or frothy, dif
ficulty of breathing, pain in the head, and dull
feelings, a sense of poreneas, extending under the
breast bone to the stomach*pit; the fits of cough
ing may occasion vomiting, oppression, prostra
tion; as tho d sease progresses, the sputa become*
ropy and viscid. This disease is called the Grippe
by seme. Catarrhal Inflammation of the eye*
arises from coids, causes obstruction of the ear
passages, watery eyes, fistula, lachx; inalis, dimness
of vision, etc.
bUl’PRErtSED CATARRH may produce inflam
mation of the lungs, brain or eyes, or give rise to
rheumatism, nervoun. dif orders, weeping, moan ng,
tremors and convulsions, drowsiness, chillinie*,
starting, twitching, palpitation of tho heart, etc.
When the frontal sinuses above the eyes, posterior
and anterior nasal passages, become clogged up,
and even tho antrum or cavity of tho eboek
bone booomea filled, or partly, it often
produces a pressure on the nerves that
supply these parts, and pains like the
most cxcrutiating neuralgia is tho result. Tbe
disease follows tho mucous membrane through tho
eoatachian tube* to all parts of the same mem
brane of the oar, causing hypertrophy of the drum,
inteifere* with the functions of the gland* of
Wharton, which socreto tbe wex: a dryness follows,
hardness of hearing, roaring, buzzing, singing,
whistling, cracking, the ringing of bells, aud simi
lar noises, which vary, and which are simple effects,
and when tbe cause is removed, the effects o.n*« :
this hardness of hearing increases with each cold.
Dr. Jones has made old standing diseases of
every name a speciality all his life. He is well pre
pared, aud perform* all the more difficult aud del
icate operations in surgery, especially of tbo ey®,
ear and nose. He ia a graduate of the best medi
cal colleges in Europe and America, and hi* diplo
mas proving the same are suspended in his office.
Letters containing one dollar will be an
swered.
Dr. Jone*’ fee* vary from $40 io 32000. Hie
terms are cash. His fees are considered very lovf
for tho great amount of good ho docs.
Opthalmia, or Sore Eyes
Of those there are nine structural varieties, each
of which have peculiarities, but are very much
alike in many rsspect*, and are cured by Dr. Jonee
without burnings or caustics of any kind, in from
twenty* four hours to a month cr two. The patif*
need not be with him but an hoar in any case.
Strabismus, or Cross-Eyednos >
Ts a a contraction of one or more of the mnacle* of
the eye; it ii» remedied by dividing the rouse)*
which is contracted; is attended with no danger
and is on the surface of the eyeball; we oan re
store all such o&ae* to their natural appearance and
aight hr a skiliful operation which we have per
formed eleven hundred times in twenty jean, and
in which we are aiwaye suosesafol, as in fact, we
are in all debcate and difficult operation* which wq
are prepared to do off-hand.
