UNION-RECORDER.
Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Aug. 8,
Suitors Union Rrcordkr:
Secretary Fairchild has issued
a circular inviting proposals for
the sale of a largo amount of 44
per cent United States bonds and
-1 per cent bonds and also Pacif
ic railroad bonds and, with a re
bate of 2 per cent per annum on
the amount prepaid. Explanato
ry of this action Secretary Fair-
child says he thought it the best
thing he could do under the cir-
oumstauces-his purchase of bonds
being for the purpose of provi
ding for the sinking funds and
the anticipation of interest is for
the purpose of removing the sur
plus. The interest referred to in
the order amounts to £22,319,784
and the sinking fund to about
$2(1,000,000, added to the £20,-
000,000 of 0 per cent bonds pre
viously applied to that fund.
The Secretary says that the sur
plus can only bo disposed of
through the co-operation of the
bondholders, and that if they do
not accept the terms of his offer
to them, it would appear that
they are not greatly in need of
money.
The Comptroller of the Curren
cy has given notice to tho^national
banks’requiring them to submit
to him a full statement of their
affairs at the close of business
August 1st in default of which they
will be fined and the Hums paid
into the United States Treasury-
the purpose being tb see whether
these institutions have tlieir fi
nances in proper shape to meet
any requirements necessary in
handling this year’s crops.
During the month of July, 10,-
old names were added to the
pension rolls by tlio Democratic
Administration, which according
to Republican partisans, has
nothing but hatred and hostility
to the Union Veterans.
The pension which was put
through by Forger Harvey, as at
torney for a widow, turns out, up
on closer investigation to bo a
fraud,and thus nearly £2,000 was,
at the last moment saved to. the
Government. The Pension ottico
offers a great field for fraudulent
manipulations, but, the evil doors
come
two men have just been arrested in
West Virginia on a charge of fo-
gory in connection with a pension
ately refund the sums borrowed
some £5000-it will be considered
cause for disbarring them from
practice before the Interior De
partment: the bondsmen of the
late financial clerk have signifi
ed their willingness to pay his
defalcation when it is certified to
properly.
Tlio chief topic of local interest
is the trial of naval surgeon Craw
ford for loading astray a school
girl of thirteen and Madam Grun
dy is expecting sensational devol-
opemonts. The Judge has decid
eel an important and interesting le
gal point—that the caso can bo
tried under the Edmonds Utah
law-the first of .the kind on rec
ord here. I think a conviction
rather donbtfol, for the reason
that one of Government’s principal
witnesses has been spirited away.
Tho little co-respondent is in Now
York, but process 1ms been issued
for her.
Mrs. Cleveland is gleefully dis
porting herself in tho foamy
waves of Buzzard Bay on the coast
of New England. The other day
in the little village of Marion,
where she stops, it was noised
abroad that Mrs. Cleveland was
g oing to take a plunge in the surf,
ut, when she appeared on the
beach 2000 people were assem
bled to see the sight, yet I need
hardly add they were disappoint
ed.
Augusta Letter,
Augusta, Ga., Aug. 12th, 1887.
Editor Union Rkcordkr:
This has been a week full of sadness
for your correspondent. The Death
Angel lias entered in atnonghis house
hold and snatched from its mother’s
bosom the petted lamb of the fold.
A little mound in the “City of the
Dead'’ e.overs all that Is earthly of
our little babe, and there her tender
form shall rest until the resurrection
morn. But up among the angels her
precious soul, “without spot or blem
ish,” is singing the songs of the Bet
ter Laud. Nhe was a little babe -on
ly a few months old—and the world
would speak of her loss as a “little
sorrow.” True it may be, in compar
ison with other afflictions, but never
theless the death of an infant leaves
a void in the hearts of its parents that
time can never fill. O, mothers with
empty arms and bleeding hearts, how
well ye realize this truth. Other joys
may crown your life, other hearts
may make you happy, but no joy, no
love can fill the aching void in your
heart caused by baby's death. Thank
God for immortality and Heaven,
for a time when death’s voids shall be
idled, and a place where loved ones
shall meet again.
I was greatly astonished when ap-

People Demand Protection—Patent
Medicines
R’hat are they'/ As a general
thing they are prescriptions hav
ing boon used with great success
by old and well-read Physicians.
Thousands of invalids have been
unexpectedly cured by their use,
and they are the wonder and
dread of Physicians and Medical
Collegos in tho l’. S., so much so,
that Physicians graduated at
Medical Cologos aro required to
discountenance Proprietary Medi
cines, as through them the coun

Proprietary Medicines, Dr. G. G.
Green of Woodbury, N. J., advo
cates most cordially,—in order
to prevent the risk that the sick
and nfilicted aro liable to, almost
daily by tho use of Patent Medi
cines put out by inexperienced
persons for aggrandizement only,
and the employing of inexperi
enced and incompetent doctors
by which almost every village
and town is cursed, and men
claiming to bo doctors who bad
better lie undertakers, experi
menting with their patients and
robbing them of thier money and
health,—for tho good of the af
flicted that our government pro
tect its people by making laws to
regulate tho practice of medicine
by better experienced and more
thoroughly educated Physicians,
aud thereby keep up the honor
and credit of the profession, also
form laws for recording of recipes
of Proprietary Medicines, under
examination and decision of ex
perienced Chemists and Physicans
appointed for that purpose by the
Government, before they are li
censed for general uso. He
would most freely place the re
cipe of Boschee’s German Syrup
and Green’s August Flower un
der such laws, had ho the proper
protection, and thereby save the
prejudice of the people, and avoid
the competition and imitation of
worthless medicines.-Copied from

Our readers have doubtless often

The press is quick to recognize merit,
and does not hesitate to give praise
where it is due. The following is from
the Baptist Weekly, a leading relig
ious paper:
“Advertising may bring an article
prominently before the public, but no
advertising can long help it if it lias
not real merit. Hood's Sarsaparilla
is well advertised; but the best proof
of its value is that so many persons
use it on the recommendations of
friends who liavo proved its peculiar
virtues.” [4 1m

Tho Texas prohibitionists did

If factory proprietors really be
lieve, as they say, that “pro

articles,” they would bo opposed
to it. To say that a manufactur
er favors an unjust tax which real
ly lessens his profits by cheapen
ing what he has to sell, is to ut
ter a palpable absurdity, and tho
manufacturer who makes such a
claim is guilty of trying to cover
a robbery in his interest by what
plain English denominates lying.
