The Reporter says a hen which went to roost on a high point on tho bank of tho t^iattahoochen last Saturday ©vonTng, woki 1 up to find herself surrounded by the riving waters.

The Atlanta Commonwealth, of Friday evening, publishes the following para graph, douhie leaded: Wo have learned from'various sources, entitled to belief, and wo ourselves bo- lievo the matter to be an anthontic fact, that Governor Smith has under consider ation the propriety of retiring from the candidacy for Governor, and we have good reason for believing that such an nouncement will be authentically made, perhaps to morrow. The same paper says i Just as we go to press we learn that Mr. West, ef the late firm of West, Edwards &■ Co., of this city, was arrested to-day by virtue of a requisition of tho Governor of New York, under the charge of defrauding some parties in Now York city, and taken off on the 12 it. train for Augusta.

The circular order to various Custom house and postcffice officials by the Sec retary of the Treasury, says the Balti more Sun, ordering the cutting off of water and gas iu consequence of the ex- haustion of the appropriation for too.-e e -entiat* in Government buildings, was a complete surprise to the public, and exhibited great lack of ordinary adapta bility in one one o? the simplest emergen cies.’ Peepie bad just convinced tnem- selves that Mr. Bri-tow was in many re spects a model public official. In the language of the typical American he had a level head, and there was no discount on him. But it appears that he has more thin once manifested & deficiency of ex pedienU in the midst of difficulties, pro dueingdilemmas of much moment, which, a little foresight and a proper repre sentation in the right quarters might have obviated. Fortunately, in the case of Bal-imore the trouble of looking ahead was spared the Treasury Department, and business in the Government build ings will continue witbont obstruction. The action about to betaken by Congress to provide for the deficiency involved in the present matter seems to be good evi dence of what Congtess might have cone before upon a full and forcible presenta tion of the facts.

Editors Telegraph and Messenger: In tho days of our youth Spring was asso ciated in our min is with balmy airs, bright flowers, and delicious odors, charming walks and everything that was fresh and pure. Now, the Spring poets may as well acknowledge the truth, guano and other fertilizers havo taken possession of tho earih and defile the air with their breath of horror. Who can profess to enjoy nature under such cir- cum stances? A Yankee school mans, who _ affects great refinement in her pronnn- neSr ° WOmaD ’ ** lo3S is 52 000 or ciation and demeanor, said to me to-dav: Oh, I cannot go to walk, that dreadful 8l,rftnce - gooner is so disagreible.” I agreed with her, in so far that it makes me feel like a^q^nngr.", FaT i different is her expe- who were traveling in Florida. In the carriage with them there was a French man who annoyed them by his Tory pro- nouncedandoft repeated sniff i. At length ono of the gentlemen exclaimed, “ Why, D jpre, what in the world is the matter with you.” •* I smells,’’ said Monsieur, " I smells a smell so delicious—like de young ladies coming downstairs dressed for de ball.” Wo found ho meant the wild verbena, which has a delightful perfume. ‘- t FERTILIZERS. Wo have grown older since those days when our country walks were so charm ing—and wo may be wiser—but do the farmers show an increase of wisdom in this excessive use of patent fertilizers ? It appears to mo that half tho crop goes in payment for them. A farmer near here mado last year six bales of cotton. Three were taken to pay for tho fertili zers ; and so with many others who were quite disgusted and swore they would buy no more; and yet this year they havo been caught buying again on the sly, their excuse being, "other people are buying”—tho old story of going to mill with corn in ono end of the sack and rocks in the other. An old lady came to our doctor laBt fall with an urgent appeal for attendance. Tell tho doctor,” she said, "to come, for ho shall be paid. Last year wo lacked three cents of paying for our guanna. hut this year we have a pretty good crap.” FINE FERTILIZERS. The best fertilizers are good tools, deep plows, elbow grease and brain work. Why is it that wo are satisfied that the agriculture of our country should be loft measure in a great in the hands of the ig norant. Honest, hard working men, our are; yet, passing their lives in daily farm ers routine of plodding, they waste half their time and their materials from the laak of tho proper knowledge how to use them. Farming ought to be as much of a profession as medicine or Jaw ; it is cer tainly more necersary. yet it seems to be the opinion that any education, or none at all, is enough for the farmer. In other countries where the population is larger, every foot of land is utilized, and agriculture is taught aud studied as a science of the most vital importance. Here our planters take in great fields, double the size they have force to work, then dibble on the surface with a liebt plow, cover the ground with fertilizers which wash off or burn up tho eoil, thus reallv injuring it. for each year an in- crease of the fertilizer is required, and then, disgusted with their unprofitable work, ther cry out against poor lands and rush’to Texas, or some other sup posed fertile spot. They first "eat the heart of the land here, and then fly off to carry out the same system of deple- pletion in another country.” A feature in our farms which strikes the stranger very forcibly is the utter absence of any effort to beautify—or of the look of stability. They all have the appearance of rented property—where a _ nnr tima “nn fitnkos” and azsonntis^ to thonmadg was utterly un Available while th** iuhu wa-j being ruin- ed for the want of a few hundreds. One of th“ 6r*t raMos ever brought tip in Atlanta waa that of a man who had homestead of aa unimproved lot worth $4,000. He wished to borrow $400— needing it for the absolute neceesaries of lile, yet not a hank or an individual iu the city would lend him a dollar. This case looked to me very much like offering amanadiamoud on condition he would not tell it when he is starving. Then what a cloak the law was for the man who withed to play the rascal, one who would refase to pay his honest debts, yet smuggle off thousands, while the honest man would gladly work to pay his debts had his capital tied up, and his hands likewise. Governor Brown of course gives good advice when he cautions peo ple against running in debt and preaches economy, and when he warns them not to pledge their houses for farm supplies. As he says: "Labor har'd, economise closely, keep ont of debt, pledge the homestead to no one.” But the answer may bo: "Of what good are our houses if we have no food, of what use our farms if we cannot get necessary supplies to work them.” I agree with Mr. James— better borrow the money at a reasonable interest on our farms, and use it to Work with—labor hard, practice economy, do our best to pay our debts, and save our homesteads. Certainly there can be no greater in centive, for a man to work than that he is working to save his homestead and his credit, and the confidence of the merchant and banker must be giren more fully and consequently their rates will be low er when they know their money is secure. I think Mr. James ends his letter far more practically than Gov. Brown, when he (Mr. James) urges men when they get their credit to use it cautiously, and when he urges merchants and moneyed men not to ask too high prices for their goods and money—but to sell to tho farmers so as to allow them to prosper, and "to encourage the honest toiling farmer—for if he prospers we all will.” There are several severe side blows in Gov. Brown’s letter against bankers, etc.., which look very much like especial hits at the future candidate for nomination. GOT. SMITH. I am informed that Gov. Smith has broken his Sphynx-like silence and de clines to be re-nominated for Governor. S. E G. Loiter lrom Alacou County. Marshallyille, Ga , April 7, 1876. Editors Telegraph and Masenger: Per haps you would like to hear from this part of tho territory ever which your valuable paper circulates. If so I will give you an item or so. On the night of tho Cth inst, Mr. J. C. Slappy of this county had his dwelling destroyed by fire. Himself and family were sweetly resting in the arms of Morpheus, when, abont 1 o’clock at night, he awoko to witness his magnificent residence crumb ling beneath the flames. His youngest child narrowly escaped by the effort of a $2 500 besides hia dwelling, and no in- Tho sympathies of the commu nity are freely expressed in this ead loss. Mr. TVra. Martin, of Houston county, relates the following: The birds this soring seem unusually troublesome and ot our planters u^u ioduiku ... .-v,....... ing, which we take occasion to say is very wrong Me. Mar:io, however, re sorted to a different method, and collocted up the little freedmen ou his place and gave them two pieces of DoardB to slap together to frighten the birds away. Among the number sent out was a little negro girl. Walking over the field after this little army of alappers had been out for some timo, he found the little negro girl with a full grown “ mocking bird.” He asked her how sho got it. She said ■the bird was sitting in a tree near her and she slapped the board to frighten it away, and at once the bird came to her and she caught it, Mr. Martin took the hird from her and turned it loose, and it flew rapidly away, some hundred and fifty yards. The little negro girl ran after it, slapping the boards, and the bird again returned to her aud sho caugnt it the second time. Mr. Martin is a gentle man of unquestioned veracity. Can you explain this matter ? We are divided here on the Governor ship. Many love Gen. Colqnit because he is a pure, Christian gentleman, and was a goad soldier. Many admire Col. Hardeman; ho has a peculiar gentle manly bearing, and elegance of manner, that none but the mast vulgar fail to appreciate. Many admire Judge Reese, because of his high, and dignified bearing, and his unswerving fidelity to principle and noncr. Either would elegantly adorn the executive mansion. But many are opposed to any and all unlesa they are for economy, rigid and thorough. Paying clerks of the General Assembly five thousand dollars is too much for as poor people as we are.when there are thou sands of good men that will do the work for two dollars per diem. Let ns come down to reform in every branch of ex penditures and right these wrongs per se. Nxn B. BY TELEGRAPH. Dai “ Pennsylvania is always ready for a trade.” The current issue of Harper's Weekly recalls the remark ol General Nye m view of the peculiar instructions by which the Pennsylvania delegates to the Republican Presidential Convention are hampered. They are instructed to sup port Hartranlt, and to vote on all ques tions as aunit. It binds nntil the name of Hartrinfc is dropped, as will nnqnestion ably be the case. Then Pennsylvania’s fifty-eight votes go solid in the market for the best bidder. A majority of thirty controls the fifty-eight, and Simon Cam eron is supposed to control the thirty. In a close vote Detween two aspirants, the Weekly argues thatGameron with his thirty can force the other twenty-eight to vote against their own judgment, and thus defeat the will of a majority of the entire party. It concludes that Penn sylvania’s voting as a unit " will proba bly secure—not a nomination which will inspire every patriotic American, and sweep the country, but—a p\a.c€ in the Cabinet for a Pennsylvanian.” man may at any time "up stakes” and ^Thelook of proprietorship of the home which a man cares for not only as his own, but aa that which he wishes to leave his son is not to be seen—but rather "we will knock all we can out of the ol i fields, and when we can drag out no more we will <eek others.” It is a pity but that we could take a lesson from our trans- Atlantic brethren, who dearly love their •‘bit of land,” nursing and cherishin g it as ther would a living thing, and cling ing to it with all the strength of their natures. THE HOMESTEAD LAW. There has been much talk in town about Judge Warner’s decision on the homestead law, and on the letters or JHr. James and ex Governor Brown on ibe subject. I believe that the general ver dict is that the decision is right, and that Mr. James' letter shows the clear business sense which characterizes every opinion of his. It is certainly perfectly true that the large homesteads were very objectionable—not only as Mr. James sav* think of men all over Georgia being worth from $1,000 to $5,000. "and yet without credit”—but think also of the many cases where the homestead A Contrary Hale. A farmer in this county, says a North Carolina paper, has a mule so contrary that he can do nothing with it. Pat him in harness and it is hard to Eay which way he will travel. Pat a saddle on him and he appears to doze, but try to mount him and he will all of a sudden begin to kick every way—straight out, straddle- bug, with" all four legs at once. As to eating, he will eat anything, from his feed trough up to a wooden saddle. The owner took a notion to have him shod ; he kicked out the blacksmith shop and returned home. The owner tried to kill him, some time back, so he tied his ears with a trace chain and rode him for six consecutive days and nights as hard aa he could under whip and spur. The fact is, that he nearly killed himself in the effort, and had to be carried upstairs to bed, and his firm belief was that the mule would die that night; but, to hig astonishment, the next morning he found that the mule had kicked to death a Cheater sow weighing 300 pounds, bit a piece out of his horse's shoulder, ate up a saddle, blanket and bridle, tore down the fence, and was splurging about, more devilish than ever, to find some thing else meaner to do. WASHINGTON INVESTIGATIONS. Wild Facts anil Wilder Rumor*. Washington, April 8 —The safe burg lary examination becomes very exciting. This was a conspiracy to rob the safe of the District Attorney and place the con tents in the possession of Columbus Alexander, in a way to connect criminal ity with the transaction. It was a mock robbery, and the papers taken to Alex ander’s house were worthless. Some ex officials and those who escaped by a hung jury two years ago are telling the whole story. Whitely implicates Gen. Babcock. Th;re is a wild rumor that Bristow has resigned in consequence of Henderson’s testimony in which Bristow is made to say that he hod no confidence in the Ad ministration. Bristow left suddenly for Eentuckv a few days ago. Some of Bristow’s friends say he is only gone for his health, but it is a singular fact that he had no idea of such a trip before Henderson testified. Great looseness, to say the least, is de veloping in the management of the Gov ernment Printing Office. Assistant Secretary Burnham says Bristow will be here on Moaday or Tues day. He went West on pressing private business. BOSTON TIGERS IN THE SOUTH. Plan or the Centennial Campaign. Boston, April 8.—A meeting of the Boston Light Infantry was held last night to perfect arrangements for at tending the Fort Moultrie Centennial at Charleston. The plan is for the com mand to leave Boston with thirty guns for New York, where they will join the Old Guard with thirty guns, and proceed to Charleston by steamer. After the celebration these commands, with two companies from Charleston, will return to New York, and rendezvous at the Hippodrome. There the Boston Light Infantry will be joined by thirty more guns, and’ with full ranks, the Southern companies, in cluding the South Carolina companies will on the third day of July take a spe cial train to Philadelphia to join the Cen tennial legion. The New England divis ion of the legionjwill be under the com mand of Gen. Burnside. It is calculated that it will take fifteen days to carry out tho programme. What Bristow Say*. Louisville, April 8.—Bristow himself says there is no truth in the rumor of his retirement. The University Boat Race—Cam bridge Wing. London, April 8—The annual boat race on the Thames, between the Oxford and Cambridge University crews took place to-day. Cambridge won by three lengths in twenty minutcB and nineteen seconds.

London, April 8.—The warm, bright sun to-day resembles an American May day. Since dawn unprecedented crowds have been flocking from every direction. Betting was three to one in favor of Cambridge. Both crews were in splen did form. Cambridge University is ad mitted to be tho fastest-, but some good judges think the Oxfords’ staying powers are superior. From the quantity of light bine displayed by the crowd, it is evident Cambridge is the favorite of the masses. Oxford winning tho choice, took the Middlesex side. A start was made at 2:17. Cambridge got away first, rowing thirty- seven strokes per minute and very steady. Oxford commenced with thirty- five. Cambridge drew away in the first quarter of a mile, but at Craven Paint Oxford decreased the lead to quarter of a length, each crew rowing thirty-six strokes. ’ Both quickened slightly. The crab tree, a mile and a furlong from the start was reached. The boats’ crews now settled down to steady work. Hammer smith bridge, four furlong* further, was reached with Cambridge a clear length ahead. At The Doves, two furlongs from Hammersmith bridge, Cambridge was still farther ahead, and the race was virtually over. Cambridge rowed steadily ahead, increasing tho lead at Chiswick church to two and a half lengths. At Barnes’ Oxford made a last struggle, increasing the stroke to forty, but the boat did not answorto this spirit and Cambridge, quickening her stroke slightly, kept fully three lengths ahead. Barnes’ bridge, three and a half miles fiom the start, was reached in sixteen minutes and forty-eight seconds, from which point tho boats rowed uniformly to the ship, which was reached at 2:25 and 2:36. The Oxford eased up just be fore the gun fired, but Cambridge really son by a little over three lengths. Railroad Litigation. Mobile, April 8.—The application of E. L. Andrews, representing Morris Ketchum, to displace 17. Butler Duncan and A. Foster, trustees and receivers of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, and that they be removed as receivers, has been denied by Judge Woods in the United States Circuit Court, he deciding that Morris Ketchum is not a trustee under the deed. The motion or Mis3 Georgie Warner to reopen her suit against the trustees, is withdrwn by E. L. Andrews, her counsel. Railroad Attachment. New York, April 8.—In the suit of Louis A. Von Hoffman vs. the New Or leans, Mobile and Texas Railroad Com pany, to recover interest on the coupons ol five $1,000 bonds of the company, due January 1, IS r 3, and on the interest cou pons of twenty-five other bonds, Judge Barrett granted an attachment against the property of the defendants. Sherman HoTlng—Compulsory As seuments. St. Louis, April 8—The removal of the headquarters of the army is progress ing. Postmaster Filleyis accused of making compulsory assessments on his employees in 1873- Death of In. B. F. Bailer. Boston, April 8.—Mrs. B. F.

Heines, a prominent broker, hung him self. Gale. Port Jsrvis, April 8-—A terrific gale prevailed here yesterday evening. Sev eral houses and many trees were pros trated. An Unnsnal Amount of Richness. TVashington, April 8. — Secretary Robeson has been in Philadelphia since Thursday. The naval investigation commences there on Monday, with closed doors. The Committee on Military Affairs of the House have called ou Secretary Taft for new estimates for tho ensuing fiscal year. They have Belknap’s figures, bnt do not trust them. The Committee on Expenditures in the Department of Justice have unearth ed the following: “ The Solicitor General has a man named Burrin his office, who is mainly relied upon in consultations. Burr, before the committee, testified that when the Parkmnn-Brooks case was referred to him, he made an adverse report, and said the claim should never be passed. General Roddy, agent for the claim, came to Burr afterwards and said, “ This claim must pass. The President wants it to be done.” “ How that?” said Burr. Roddy took document from his pocket signed U. S. Grant, addressed “To whom it may con cern,’’ and gave a good character to Roddy, saying he was a man in whom perfect trust could be placed. Burr did not know whether this was really written by the President or not. It is believed by the committee that it was. The sub sequent history of the claims it is al leged, shows that it was only by the co-operation in some way of ex As sistant Secretary Sawyer that it was finally passed. Sawyer denies that when indicted for comDlicity in the Parkinan, Brooks & Co. claim, he stated that he acted in tho case by the express orders of the President. It appears from Whittly’s evidence that Columbus Alex ander only escaped by the mock burglars in mistaking the hour. They were di rected to do their work at ten o’clock, but read their instructions “one o'clock.” and could not get anyone at Alexander’s houso awake to receive the stolen papers. General Babcock gave Wbitely assur ances of protection should anything ugly happen. Whitely wns afraid of the job. Whitely understood th.it proceedings agsinst himself and Harring ton after the jury disagreed, were dis missed by order of the President. At all events, Gen. Babcock, in person, took an order, ostensibly signed by President Grant, addressed to the Attorney General, directing him to have all proceedings stopped. Ex-Altorney General Williams summoned Mr. Kiddle, who prosecuted the case as special attorney, and stated that developments muet be made to cor respond with what was and is hU theory of the case. A bill extending the limits in which indictments can be brought so as to cove t these cases has passed Congress, and is in the bands of the President. In the House among tho notable to-day, speeches was one by Williams, of Alabama, in favor of the Texas Pacific Railroad. Clapp Rises lo Explain. Congressional Printer Clapp states that on account of printing the Congres sional Record, the appropriation is insuf ficient. He had availed himBelf of his legal privilege to draft from the Treasu ry to the amount of tivo-thirds of his bond, and following the practice of his predecessors, had used proceeds of sales to supply the deficiency as the only means to prevent stoppage.

M1IAN1H11T DISHATOH1C8. Sentence or the Whisky Ring U«ng. St. Louis, April 8.—The Circuit Court wa3 densely packed by spectators, includ ing many prominent citizens to hear Judge Dillon’s decision in the McKee, Maguire and Avery cases. The court an nounced in the Maguire case, the five counts in the indictments standing against the defendant, and to which he pleaded guilty, charging him witn fail ing to report to hU superior officers cer tain knowledge which he possessed, would be merged in one offonee, tne charges in each being the same. He was sentenced to pay a fine of $15,000, the maximum pen alty, and serve six months imprison ment in the county jail, the mini mum penalty. Judge Dillon then asked ifW. O. Avery was present, and Judge Krum, his counsel, stated that he could not get here on account of not having the means to pay the ex pense, but if the court would defer judg ment till next week, he thought his cli ent would be able to borrow money to come. The court allowed until next Thursday for Avery to appear. TVm. McKee was then called, and a motion for a new trial in this case wa3 overruled. Judge Krum stated that a motion for arrest of judgment was on file, but the court adjourned with the announcement that argument would be heard this afternoon. Babcock ts. Whlteley. Washington, April 8.—Babcock, be fore the Committee, gives a general de nial of Whitoley’s statement, connecting him with the safe burglary. Their rela tions, however, were quite intimate in other matters. Babcock working to maintain Whiteley in place and Whiteley working from gratitude for Babcock to discover hi3 detractors in some alleged fraudulent measures. Had Babcocs known, he says, of the safe burglary con spiracy he »ould have stopped it. The Election Committee of the House have decided to report in favor of seating L»- moine and ousting Farwell by a party vote. Seducer Shat. Sr. Louis, April 8—Shrane. aged 18, called at the house of W. TV. Jellz and charged him with the seduction of his sister. Shrane shot Jeltz probably fatal ly.

SAN FRANCISCO. InaixniMInn meeting—The Chinese Preparing to Defend Themselves. San Francisco, April 6—The anti- Chinese meeting at Uuion Hill aul the street in front, was attended by at least 10,000 people. Gov. Irwin presided in the ball. Resolutions were adopted set ting forth tho evils flowing from Chinese immigration, urging that local m.-asuri s of relief had been exhausted; that the only resource remaining was an appeal to the treaty making powers, and that a delegation be sent to TVashington to pr.-- sent the question in full and urge imm< - diate action. Tho meeting was address! d by a number of prominent gentlemen counseling moderate and conservative action, enjoining full protection of the Chinese now in the country, and depre cating earnestly any violent proceedings. The meeting was quiet and orderly, and evidently in harmony with the views ad vanced by tho speakers. Ample prepara tion had been made to suppress any riot ous proceedings, by a cordon of police drawn up around Chinatown, and its inhabitants were counselled by their leaders to remain in their own quarters. Great alarm had existed among then’, and extensive purchases of weapons had been made by them in anticipation of trouble, but the city was parfectly quiet throughout the evening. nendersoa’s Story or His Dismissal. Washington 8pecial to the Chicago Times.! , In reference to hia dismissal by the Attorney General, he was asked if he knew any reason for that action. He said: "No; I do not.” Have you evor had any conversation with the Attorney General on the subject?” “I have.” Henderson said that, during a previous visit to this city, he was at the Arling ton Hotel vat breakfast one morning, two day9 after his arrival, when a very polito note came over from the Attorney Gen eral asking him to call upon him at ten o’clock. Ho called, and in that inter view Pierrepont alluded to his dismissal to a jocular way. Henderson said that Let me read to you what you said before the jury in that case; let me read the language that caused your dismissal.” Mr. Henderson replied: Great God! don’t read that to me. I make it a rule never to read any of my peeohes after they are delivered.” The Attorney General, however, insisted, and read to him the following quotation : What right had Grant to overrule the order of the Secretary of the Treasury ?” Well,” said Henderson, "what right had he ? Do you think he had any right, Mr. Pierrepont ?” "No,” was the reply. Then you agree with me?” “Yes; I agree with you in that, but you should not have used the word Grant.” "Oh. well,” said Henderson, “we Western peo ple are plain people, and we use short words. I suppose I should have said, 'his excellency,’ or ‘his royal highness.’ ” "No,” said Mr. Pierrepont; "you should have said the President, or President Grant.” “Then,” said Henderson, “am I to understand that this was all the rea son for my dismissal?” “That was enough,” said the Attorney General diy- ly, and tho subject at once was changed.

MEDICAL END0S5I0TISM. — fTMIS undersigned inaugurates his forty* first X year of practice as a MedictJ Progressionist — his thirty-fifth in Macon—by tho announoe- mout of a virtually now science that for some time has beon developing under his hands, de nominated by him Mrdical Kndosmotism, be- cause,it is by endosmose he introduces his reme dies into the circulation. This enables him to adopt a new route to the livsr and lungs, and give* mm a direct means of modicating tne en tire substance of these important organs. It also makes possible a pervasion of the entire capillary system by unchanged medicated substance* through whose agency the de*d and broken down tissues can be eliminated, and renders compara tively easy the purification of the living organi zation, which is really of much more conscqueuco than simply purifying tho blo.-)d. This method renders the blood itself subservient to tho gen eral purpose, and makes it the messenger that carries tho remedy wherever needed and tho vo- htcle that brings hack tho dead matter to be ejected from tlio body. THIS NEW ROUTE is by the portal jein, the only direct lino between tlio stomach and tho liver which horetoforo has not been s|>ecia]ly utilized in tho sciontiflc treat ment of disease, and as compared with that by the con vulot ions of tho intestines, the receptac- ulum chyli. und the thoracic duct is as the light ning express of modern improvement to tho slow COSM Of departed centuries. This routo to w\nch he has adapted his therapia onables him tooispense. m a great measure, with even the concentrated crudities of tho schools, while it gives him control of tlio operations in the great work-houso of the body, the capillaries, where alone that body is built up, and wlioro too it is omsumod. 1 he fires of life are fed iu tho capil laries, aud it is there they are extinguished, for m them we literally “die daily,” and m them are ro-croated, for outsido of them a single particle of fleshly substance cannot bo elaborated from tho blood m man or betst. Everything in iU or der and for its own use, showing the most perfoet system in t he works of creation, tho digestive system for tho manufacture of blood, tho vascu lar for its conveyance or transmission, while in the capillaries alone is elaboration and organiza tion possible. AND THOSE CAPILLARIES. alabyrinHi ot yosioIj, s0 minute and huir-like that live thousand of thoir diameters would hardly mako an inch, .vet into which every drop of arterial blood—itself composed of millions of microscopic globules—is made to enter, and pass ing along comes in contact with worn-out tissue, dissolvent, supplies its place, and aided by tho absorbents brings it to tno veins, tho sewers of the body, into which it pours, no longer the bright, pure pabulum of life, but tho dark, foul stream, loaded with every impurity of who»a production the death of tho tissues is capable, liuiliig the various depuraters this mass is ren- dered capable of nutrition again—is again sent to tho capillaries for elaboration, anu with it may bo sent the various therapeutic agencies, useful' m clearing the way and eliminating the matter* that, if allowed to remain would make perma nent obstructions. With free capillary action there is health invariably; but if lrom any cause those “mute vessels become bonumbod. con- stricted or collapsed so that tho dead matter can not be forced through and out, then wo huvo dis ease, the whole varied phenomena of fever and inflammation may bo presented, but cannot be cured tiff these channels are reopened for tho ex it of the dead and tlio free entrance of tho life- giving pabulum again. IF THESE OBSTRUCTIONS BE LOCAL, nature, an acceleration of tho “jyj. 8 actl °u propels the b ood against them e ^i uro , removed-the inflammation thus produced ends in resolution. If the obstruction be more permanent, stippuration results; if per- ®?. tensivo » gangrene or death of tho ' parts wHl bo tho consequence. If these obstruc tions be general, fever sots in as tho natural ef- remove thun ; if successful, perspiration ?? Vui'lSEi J 11 / 1 -? u et 18 restored to tho circulation; if the effort fails, or is thwarted by ignorant or presumptuous interference, death may result, or IRJUfl flhaue of chronic dls- capillarios of tho lungs, hepattisalion, tubercles and consumption follow; if In tho muscles and joints, rheumatism, in too brain, muralgia, inan- iti, etc. r ihe»o capillary impediments may bo said emphatically to bo tho pets of ANTIPHLOGISTICISM, for when they occur, nothing is allowed to touch or come near them, and if nature makes an effort for their removal, sh? is put in chains at once. Would sho impinge the blood against them with increased force as in fever or inflammation, tho power of the hca-t is arrested or paralyzed * by seJ&tives or th* blood itself withdrawn directly by the lancet, or its elements indirectly by liy- percatliursis. Should their presence cause paiu, as they naturally do, tho powers of narcotization are invoked, tlio sensorium is paralyzed and sen sation deadened, that these obstructions may be comfortably accommodated. A little stimulus might aid in their removal, but that is strictly prohibited, anything may bo done to, and sullered by tho sysUm, tho life itself jeopar dized or lost, as it has been millions oi times in meuical history, rather than disturb for a mo ment these obstructions, that but for tho falla cious ideas that have governed the medical world for centuries, would havo been commanded by common sense to be removed at once. ECLECTICISM, THE MODERN SORT, withdraws no blood directly, deals largely in se dation. affects veratum veride, strychnine and prussic acid and their congeners, all of which tend to depress tho life power and prevent the heart from exerting much if any force within the capillaries. Thomsomam, pure and simple, exer cises great relaxing power upon the peripheral capillaries, but its therapia is by many deemed objectionable, and it has beau found io practice somewhat deficient where those of the interior involved; hence the necessity of sending a tearcher or solvent to tho innermost bodily re cesses where lodgements exist to chunge and bring them forth. This is the chosen work of MEDICAL KNDOSMOTISM. and when its agencies, easily taken, are properly lected, they do it effectually. When these ob structions exist in the liver no precious time is lost in vain efforts to remove them by endeavors to affect that viscus by the introduction of agen cies, through its emunctory or outlet, that scientific mode (?) is icit to allopathy and its congeners, the liver regulator men, but its en trance is a avails* of by the route of tile portal Vein, and its action stimulated and enforced in a potential and intelligible way. In like manner when in the substance of the lungs it would b* a waste of time to attempt their removal through the air cells, because until the lung breaks down there can be no outlet for them iu thatuirection, tile dead end worn-out matter of the lung cannot be got ria of by expectoration. Allopathv pro poses nothing else, and of course fails in every instance to cure consumption, though by her he roic treatment of pneumonia millions of cases of that disease have bten produced. The capabili ties of End osmotic medication by the portal vein are of vast importance here, and. thepusaibiiilies ol the future, if not already aihieved, embrace a certain remeay; for that tell disease by ihe elimi nation of such injurious matters as have hereto fore been allowed tm fester in their lodgments without tne shadow of an effort b^ing mado to eject them. In such cases, aud indeed in every form of CHRONIC DISEASE, well selected Kndosmotics give great advantage* and ar * freely availed of by the undersigned in his extensive administrations. HU long exi>e- rirnce enables him to judge with correctness ai to what is needed, and hU intimate knowledge of the remedial agents of all schools, makes it easy to adapt them or his own to thecasain nnnd Using nothing that can depress the life power, he has no hesitatian in sending his remedies any' where on their mission of mercy and healing, an« will do so to any postolfice in the country or th« world, on the reception of a letter descriptive ol the main features of the c$tse in such hu;image a; a patient would use to a visiting physician. As heretofore, he proposes to treat a grea’ ‘ number at a small charge to each, rather than » few at exorbitant rates, and therefore places th* amount for a six week*’ supply at, say ten dol lara, free, by mail. T hose in limitedcircumstan ces from war losses, or otherwise, will le treats for five, the indigent poor gratuitously. There i* therefore.no reason why any afflicted manor wo man should not enjoy the fruits of his medics research and labors in his or her own pe rson, an* he trusts that none will be content todiewithou testing the curative powers of#IedUral Endo> motusrn, nor bo satisfied with mere blood-purifi ern wiien the purification of the living tissue themselves is within their reach.
