LATEST NEWS BY THE MAILS. New York,March26.—A*Washington special says: It is understood that a motion will ho made in the Senate to-day to reconsider the vote of last Friday, declaring the Hon. J. I’. Stockton entitled to his seat as Senator from New Jersey, and Mr. Sumner will make an ar gument against the right of Mr. Stockton to east a vote in the ease. . The Attorney General has decided that Southern pensioners should he restored to the rolls of itic Southern pension agencies, on proof of continued loyalty during the war, anil the claims he paid. The principle involved in this decision, if correctly reported, is directly in conflict with the opinion of the Second Comptroller, declaring that balances due from the Government to persons residing in the Southern States during the rebellion are not payable to the claimants, but, belong to the United States, as enemies’ property. The Sec ond Comptroller’s decision is subject to revis ion by tlie Solicitor of the Treasury, when the matter is taken to the Secretary of the Treasu ry upon application of the claimants. The Tribune's Washington special says : The Secretary of the Treasury, at tlie request of the Governor of North Carolina, On Saturday, for wauled him a full set. of the standard weights anel measures, to replace those destroyed du ring the war. Washington, March 26th.—The Supreme Court of the. United States has to-day decided the case of Michael A. Nolan and others, vs. the Board of Assessors of the city of Albany, defendants in error, at the suit of Adam Von Allen, plaintiff in error, and other cases. The question presented was whether the.shares of the stockholders in the hanking associations created under the act of Congress, which pro vides for the creation of national hanks, can be subjected to taxation by State authorities.— Associate Judge Nelson delivered the opinion of die court, holding that the shares held by individuals were not a part of the capital of a bank, and must borconsidcred persona! proper ty of the shareholders, and, such, subject to taxation by the States. The decision of the courts below must be reversed on the ground | that there was a discrimination between the shares of these banks and the capital stock of State hanks. Chief Justice Chase dissented and presented a minority opinion, not being able to concur in that a State h:ul the power claimed, which was an indirect mode of taxing national securities, which was not authorised or intended to be authorized by Congress. Information at the State Department shows llte. entire Confederate strength east of tlic Mississippi on the 4th of February, 1805, was 102,000, and West of the Mississippi 50,000. Lee's army was 64,000 ; Mood’s loss was 29,000 in the, Tennessee campaign. In testimony be fore the committee of the Confederate Senate, Lee, in January 24th, 1865, said the Confedera cy had not troops enough to last till the middle of the summer. By freeing and arming the negroes they might carry the war on one year longer, at the ut most. He was willing to take any position that might be assigned him, but no human pow er could save the cause. The best solution of their difficulties was peace on Mr. Stephens’ plan. Washington, March 25. -The Department of State has received authentic information that the three colored children of Roselvlati, of New Orleans, who were taken to Havana without the consent of their parents, li ive been sent back to her by the United States Consul at Havana. Gap. Canby gave information concerning the abduction or removal of the children, when the State Depart ment instituted measures which led to their recovery. Senator Howard having returned to Wash ington, it is expected that, the report from the Committee on Reconstruction, embracing the j testimony of Gen. Lee, will he presented earlv i this week. New York, March 25.—A message from the | l’resideut to Gor. Hamilton, of Texas, in which he reiterates his hopes that the loyal represen tatives from the South will bo permitted to take their seals in Congress, is published. It hears date of February 16, 1866. Washington, March 24. -The issues of frac tional currency from the Treasury Department last week were $244,000, and the redemptions $482,000. " . i The. certificates of indebtedness issued for the week amounted to $106,000. The disi ursemonts and transfers amounted, 1 for the week to $15,410, 021. The disburse- 1 t « went* to -thc Wav Dcpmtmfcnf Were nearly s*,- f « 000,000; to the Navy Department over $4,000,- 000, and to the Interior Department nearly $2,- 000,000. ' ■ General Spinner holds over $317,000,000 of securities for the circulation oi national banks, and over $35,000,000 of securities for deposits. $150,000 of greenbacks, in denominations of one’s and two’s were sent to the Assistant Trea surer to-day. Certain persons residing in the so-called Confederate States, during the rebellion, ami who had a council in said States before and during Us continuance, now come and demand of the Government balances which they allege were due and payable to them before said war begun. Tlk* Comptroller lias decided that they are ! not lawfully entitled to payment, of these bal- ' auces by the laws of nations. The laws of Con- i gress and decisions t>f the Supreme Court, lie | says, justify that opinion. Last week the Secretary of the Treasury made the following disbursement on account, of the hereinafter mentioned departments: War, $7,789,703; Navy, *4,033,729; Interior, $1,908,- 813; total, *18,733,1194. New York, March 35.—0 n and after the Ist of April next, Messrs. Cool is ( \i Co., Financial Agents of the Mexican Republic, will pay at t heir otlicc, No. 57 Broadway, interest in gold due April Ist, on the *30,000,000 Mexican loan. \ Tho Herald's Mexican correspondent repre sents the message of Governor Auderson, of <Oijio v in January last, as having produced quite a sensation in the Republican party in Mexico. Washington, March 25.—The message of Gov. AUderson to tin* Ohio Legislature in Janu- ! ary last, Which was noticed here and comment ed on at the time and then forgotten, lias at tracted the earnest attention of some of the thinking portion of the Republics of Mexico. * In that paper Mr. Anderson spoke of the Monroe doctrine as an unmeaning phrase, and of the population of the Spanish-American Republic as people unfit for self-government, whose wars and domestic troubles were un worthy of the attention ot our own Govern ment. He opposed giving assistance to the President (Juarez) in his contest witli the Imperialists. Such remarks the Mexican Republicans re garded as an insult from an executive official of that country to which they haye been accus tomed to look for encouragement ip their strng gle. The Idea, a liberal newspaper of Puebla, which, on the 7th ultimo, was suspended for <ouc* month by the Imperial authorities, for a too free expression of opinion, in its last issue before the suspension, devoted a long article to a review of Gov, Anderson’s message, and a defense of the American Republic and people. The editor says that the people of the great North American Republic, while congratulating themselves on their superiority in the matter ot self-government, should remember that their na tion was originally founded by settlers who had been educated under liberal institutions in Europe, while 'their sister Spanish-Amcrican Republic sprang from colonies founded by con querors, despots, and ignorant sailors. New York, March 35, —From published Chilean official accounts of the late tight be tween the Spanish and Chilian vessels, it ap pears tha t the Chilian vessels were not damaged to the extent reported. It is claim eh that it was the Spanish vessels who were rhai.'enged to renew the combnt, and refused. The Chilian Minister to New York, flenor Viena McKenna, give the following account of the action of the United States of Columbia : The Deputy, Senor Juarez Fosten, presented a series of resolutions of the adhesion of Chili to the Columbian Congress assembled in Bo gota, but only as votes of sympathy, and with out giving to any of these declarations the form and reach of a bill. Two of these resolutions were passed, and if the third, which involved the project of war against Spain, did not receive immediate sanc tion, it should be attributed more to the form in which it was presented than to its spirit, since many of the United States of Columbia have already declared tlieir adhesion to the general war against Spain. Besides President Murillo has declared, since the beginning of the question that, having vir tually ceased to exercise the control of the Re- i public, (siuce Mosquera was to replace him on the Ist of April,) mid left to him the definite solution of such an important matter. New York, March 25.— Thera jjj continued activity at the Fenian headquarters. Reports from Ireland says that all letters for suspected parties are opened by the post-office authorities in that country. New York, March 25.—European flies con tain the following additional: It is rumored that a misunderstanding exists between our Government and the American Embassy in London, relative to the imprisonment of several persons charged witli Fenlanism, who assert ilieir claim as American citizens, and demand to be either liberated or brought to trial—a mis understanding which lias been referred for so lution to Washington, and may probably prove embarrassing. The Fenian Sisterhood of this city have made an appeal to their countrymen and sympathizers, for aid for the families of the victims of British tyranny who are now languishing in EnglUh prisons. Philadelphia, March 25.—Another enthu siastic Fenian demonstration occurred last night at the Academy of Music, under the auspices of A. Wynn, District Center. Speeches were made by B. F. Mullen, P. A. Colling anil others. Agreeable to the invitation of the Union Gen eral Committee, a number of discharged one armed soldiers and sailors, who have lost their right arm in the war, are now contesting to see who are the best writers. Four prizes of S2OO, $l5O, SIOO and SSO are offered. Some of the specimens are decidedly excellent. Sri-tUcckli) (Constitutionalist BY STOCKTON & CO [From the National Intelligencer. Comptroller Clarke Again, Treasury Department, 5 r Office of Comptroller of the Currency, £ Washington, March 19,1866. j On the 10th instant, in reply to a communi cation of the Secretary of the Treasury of the day previous, I used the following language: “ I can show to the satisfaction of any one, that neither of your monthly reports for the last few months has shown within fifty million of dollars the amount of money (currency value) in the Treasury and on deposit in the national depositories.” I also stated that the deposits in national banks, had not for several months past been included in the monthly statements of “ the public debt of the United States ” made by the Secretary of the Treasury. It appears from the proceedings of the House of Representatives on Thursday last, as report ed in the Globe , that Mr. Hooper, of Masgachu setts, stated that a sub-eomraittee of the Com mittee of Ways and Means had been appointed to ascertain whether any foundation existed for tlie statements in my letters to the Secretary of the Treasury, and that the sub-committee hail ascertained that the deposits in the national banks were included in the monthly report as a part Os the $116,018,959 reported to be in the Treasury'on tlie first day of March, and conse quently that tlie statement of tlie Secretary of the Treasury was correct. In vieiy of tlie averment made by me that I could satisfy any one respecting the truth of mv statements, and as they were looked upon as serious enough to justify at least the appear ance of investigation, it seems somewhat sin gular that tlie sub-committee tailed to make ap plication to me in the search for information, as 1 have reason to believe they were directed to do by the Committee of Ways land Means. What information, if any, the sub-committee procured, or from who obtained, lam not ad vised, and I am not aware of any light upon this subject having been developed by Mr. Hooper. To me tins whole proceeding appears to amount to neither more nor less than a hasty, uneonsidered endorsement of the state ments of the Seeretary, to the omission of any endeavor to procure all the information de manded by the importance of the subject under investigation. Such having been the partial nature of the examination, all must concede the justice of the deductions of the press reflect- 1 ing upon the correctness of our representa tions, and I cannot in justice to myself quietly sffijiuit to unfavorable conclusions predicated I ti™n such negative or suppositious inquiry. As a verification of my representations ami estimates, I refer to the following statements or ] supplementary reports of the Secretary of the j Treasury of the Ist instant. Tlie first was pub- j fished in the National Intelligencer , of this city, j on Monday or Tuesday of last week, the latter in the New York Times of Monday.' Botli must have been derived directly from the Treasury Department, and are as follows : . Supplementary Statement or Treasurer Spinner.—The following is supplementary to tlie February statement of the United States Treasurer: Balance as per general statement $182,317,323 08 Less unavailable in Washington : For reimbursement of 7-30 notes in 1801 $1,070,560 64 For reimbursement of coin coupons 255,000 00 For reimbursement of mu tilated currency 1,289,299 00 2,623,859 64 In Mints $3,185,207 10 Tn insurrection ary States... 029,036 55 Suspended de posits 4,046 81 Suspended de posits San Francisco.... 82,860 7.0 — 3,851,210 52 i 55,842,252 00 Deduct cash certificates of indebtedness redeemed tint not reimbursed $20,816,410 00 Add balance to credit: Certificates of indebtedness.,sß,2o7,o9s 87 Less half [jay able in cash.. 4,103,647 03 — 4,103,547 94 Available funds of all kinds 130,129,800 84 Coin balance $75,870,878 18 Less coin certilb ates e.f in debtedness as above 20,816,440 00 Coin balance available 55,054,438 18 ( urivney balance available 84,074,922 00 The Treasury Monthly Statement.—lt. appears from the United States Treasurer’s statement for tlie mouth of February, which was sent to the Secretary yesterday, that the total amount ol money standing to his credit on the23th of February, as far as returns had been received, in the Treasury and with the several assistant, treasurers and designated depositories, was as follows: Amount on deposit m coin - - $75,870,878 18 Total amount on deposit - - 165,578,237 90 Drafts drawn out and payable, \ but not yet reported paid - 10,625,587 77 Balance subject to draft - - - 158,867,368 11 Tlie statement also shows the receipts into the Treasury from all sources during the month to have been $68,498,095 50, and the disburse nients $52,112,772 19, leaving an available balanc • over mid above the expenditures of $10,385 322 21. ’ ’ In tlie first ot the foregoing statements tlie coin received on special deposits is deducted from the aggregate amount of coin on hand, blit is included as a part of tlie $116,018,959 available funds reported on hand the Ist of March. Each of the above exhibits sustains all 1 have said respecting the amounts of money on hand or subject to the order of tlie Secretary of the Treasury, and reveals further that the Gov ernment held on the first day of the present month over $75,000,000 in coin, instead of $55,736,190, as represented in the Secretary’s monthly statement as published on the first of this month. No representations made by me are so unfa vorable to the position assumed by the Secreta ry as the above, width appeared in the papers favorable to the department, and which arc suffered to originate and circulate without ob jection or correction. With regard to the deposits in the national banka not appearing in the monthly statements oi the Secretary, I have to sav that there is no indication in the reports themselves that they are included, nor is any reference made to them. In the last monthly statement the money on hand is represented as follows : Amount in Treasury, coin, - - $55,746,190 “ currency, - - 00,382,767 This comprises all that is said with reference to the money in the Treasury at the disposal of the Secretary, and the same form, words and expressions, (figures only differing,) appears in each monthly statement. It previously appears in the report that 1 lie coin on special deposit is included in the sum mentioned above. I will now show, by the returns of national hanks made to this office under oath, that it is impossible that the deposits in the national banks should have been included in the month ly statements of the Secretary ol the Treasury. The monthly statement made up to the first day of April, 1865, shows a balance in the Treasury, including coin, of $56,481,044, and on that very day there was on deposit in the national banks alone the sum of $57,630,141, The monthly statement made up to the first d*«y ol May shows the amount in the Treasury, including coin, to be *16,835,860; on the same day there was on deposit in national banks alone more than throe times ns tnCieh as the whole amount reported being in the Treasury. The monthly statement made up to the first day of June shows that there was on that day ill the Treasury, including coin, $25,148,702, while there was more than twice that amount on deposit in tho national banks. The monthly statement made up to the first day of July shows the amount in the Treasury, including coin, to be $36,278,327; on that day $58,032,720 was on deposit in the national banks alone. From tlie first day of July to the first day of December there were but two months in which the deposits in the national banks did not ex ceed the whole amount of currency reported to be in tho Treasury, In the statement made up to the first day of January, 1866, the amount represented to be in the Treasury, exclusive of coin, was $44,993,271; on that day there was $29,747,236 on deposit in tlie national hanks. For the month ending the first day of Febru ary, the comparative result was about tlie same as that just stated. The monthly statement made np to the first day of March shows the amount of money in the Treasury, exclusive of coin, to have been *60,282,767. Tlie deposits in national banks on that day were over $28,000,000, as stated in my letters to the Secretary of the Treasury. From the foregoing exhibits it is evident the deposits in national banks could not have been included in the amount of money reported to be on hand on the first day of each month. As an illustration of this, take the exhibit for the month ending the first day of March, which is far more favorable than any other in the way of indicating that tlie deposits might have been included as currency as the statement of the Secretary. If the $28,000,000 on deposit in na tional hanks is deducted from the amount re ported as currency, there would be left only $32,362,707 in currency on hand in the Treasury at Washington, and ail sub-Treasuries and De positories in the United States, aside from banks. I will venture to affirm that there is no intel ligent merohant or banker in the city of New York who does not know, without referring tir any official statement from the Treasury De partment on tlie subject, that there was more currency in the bauds of the Assistant'Treas urer in New York alone than the entire amount reported by the Secretary, after deducting the amounts on deposit in the national banks. Since the foregoing was prepared, my atten tion has been called to a communication of the Secretary of the Treasury in this morning’s In telligencer, addressed to the Speaker of tlie House of Representatives, on the 16th instant representing that there was, at this period oil hand an available balance of $123,423,885 con Bisting of $57,799,921 in coin, and $65,623 885 in currency. . ’ With regard to this statement, it is evident that the coin received on special deposit is not included, but was included in the Secretary's statement on the Ist of March, which sum as stated in the supplemental report, was retire sented to he $20,816,440. This sum, added to the $123,423,885, and the $7,750,150 growing out of the illegal sale and purchase of compound interest notes, United States notes, and five twenty bonds, inclusive, will make $151,990,476 It will therefore appear that my statement to the Secretary, that there was, according to my supposition, $150,000,000 in the Treasury, sub ject to his order, is fully sustained by this rep ' rcsentation officially made to Congress, and precludes the necessity of any further notice or explanation from me on the subject. If the currency value or premium on the gold owned by the Government be included, it would add from fifteen to eighteen million dollars to the above, amount. It wifi be seen by a statement of disburse ments of the Treasury, as published in the In telligencer this morning, that the disbursements and transfers for the last week amounted to $28,386,577, or more than $4,700,000 per diem prior to the report of the Secretary to Con gress, which would represent very large trans actions during a time of peace. a Freeman Clajike^ COMPTROLLER CLARKE ANSWERED— LETTER OF TREASURER SPINNER. Treasury of the United States > Washington, March 20, 1866. S The communication of the Hon. Freeman Clarke, Comptroller of the Currency, in regard to the condition of the Treasury, is of such a character that I consider it a duty I owe to the country, to myself, and especially to the Secre tary of the Treasury, who must rely upon the figures furnished him by his subordinates, to point out some of the errors into which the Comptroller lias fallen. 1 pass the first paragraph in tlie communica tion, in which the material words “currency value ” arc interpreted, in a quotation, without comment, further than to note tlie fact. The next two paragraphs find fault with the Hon. Mr. Hooper, and his sub-committee of the House of Representatives, because it failed to make application to the Comptroller in its searcli for information, and an opinion is ven tured that tlie report made to the House by the conynittce is “ neither more nor less than a hasty,'uneonsidered endorsement of the state ments of the Secretary oi' the Treasury,” and an intimation is thrown out tiiat if any inform ation was obtained, it was from an irresponsible person. Now, I have this to say, tjiat the committee did just what tlie Comptroller should have done before lie called the statements of the Secretary of the Treasury in question. It not only examined me and my books, but the clerks iii my office, and it eame to the conclusion that the Comptrofierjwould have reached, had h -, like the committee, gone to the only place where the information sought could be obtained. In that case he, like the committee, would have been satisfied that tiie published statements of the Secretary were substantially correct. Next the figures of the Treasury statement are given substantially correct. Immediate!v following is tliis statement: Amount on do posit in coin - $75,870,878 18 Total amount on deposit - - 105,578,237 OK Drafts drawn out and payable, but not yet reported paid - 10,625,587 77 Balance subject to draft - - 158,867,358 11 As this (the first itenrfcxcepted) is no part of tlie Treasurer’s monthly statement, as it is alleged it is, all the allegations- and deductions drawn from it tall with it. The deposits in the national banks are en tered weekly as the certificates and reports are received, and included in the cash in the Treas ury. The discrepancy between the bank re ports and the'Treasury statement arises from the filet that the banks are charged weekly with the amounts deposited with them by rr»**.• officers and others, and are credited daKywiih whatever checks.are drawn on them. Hence it occurs that the amount due the Government, according to the hooks of the banks, will difler materially from the balances, according to the books of the department. For instance, the Treasurer may draw to-day on the different de posit banks for twenty million dollars; the banks will of course be credited with the amounts of the cheeks drawn upon them re spectively, while they cannot charge the Gov ernment until the cheeks are presented, which may not be for days or weeks after. No one ought to have known better than tlie Comptroller of the Currency that a country bank may, according to its own books, over draw its correspondent in a commercial citv, while, by reason of the checks in transitu , it will have a daily balance to its credit on Hie books of its correspondent. During the subscription to tlie seven-thirty loan, very heavy deposits were made with the national deposit banks. These deposits were, under tlie direction of the 'Secretary of the Treasury, drawn upon rapidly; but so-large were the. balances, and so distinct, were many of the banks, that it was undoubtedly the fact that they were at times in process of collection from twenty to forty million dollars credited to the banks, by reason of being drawn against, but not charged by the banks to the Govern ment until the cheeks were actually paid. There haw. been, in the course ot m'e year, many days in which the balances due the Gov ernment by the deposit, banks, according to their books, have been over twenty million dollars larger Ilian the real balances according to the books of the Treasury. To show how fallacious conclusions drawn only from the returns made by deposit national banks to the Comptroller of the Currency are, it is only necessary to give one of the state ments in his communication, viz: “The month ly statement made up to the first ol' June shows that there was that day in the Treasury, including coin, $25,148,702, while there was lio more than twice lliat amount on deposit in tlie national banks.’’ At this .time there were drafts and orders issued upon these batiks for an amount exceeding thirty-three million dol lars. So many elements enter into the statements of the ramified business of the Treasury De partment, that it is impossible for any one who does not examine the' books of the de partment to ascertain the real state of the bal ances in the Treasury. The amounts deposited in the various offices to the credit of disbursing officers are so large that it often occurred du ring the war that the Treasury account proper was overdrawn from twenty to thirty million dollars, and by which several millions of dol lars iu interest was saved to the Government and people. Tlie difference in the statement of coin, point ed out by tlie Comptroller of the Currency, arises from the fact that the assistant treasurers are charged with the amount of gold certificates issued by them, and no credit can be given them or tlie Treasurer on tlie books of the depart ment for any sueli good certificates that may by either of them be redeemed, until reimburse ment may be made by warrant, In the mean time, all such redeemed and paid-for gold cer tificates must be counted as gold cash items.— In the statement of coin on hand made up for the Secretary, (lie amount of gold certificates redeemed is deducted daily, so as to show tin amount of available coin on hand. The $20,- 816,440 of coin referred to arc certificates issued, but that have been redeemed and paid for, and necessarily appearing in the statements of thd various offices as coin on hand, and which must so remain, under existing laws, until reimburs ing warrants issue for the amounts. These explanations seem to cover all the points in the Comptroller of the Currency's communication, and I take leave of the subject with tlie remark that the statement made by me on tlie 10th instant, which was by the Secretary of the Treasury transmitted to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, showing the bai lees in the Treasury to be $57,709,921 37 in coin aud $65,623,064 54 in currency—of which latter amount, $21,780,358 55 was in national banks—is in all respects true.

Dear Sib: I have been afflicted many years'with severe prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold feet and hands, and a general disordered system. Physicians and medicines failed to relieve me. While visitipg some friends in New York who were using Plantation Bitters, they prevailed upon me to try them. I com menced. with a small wine glassful after dinner. Feel ing better by degrees, in a few days I was astonished to find the coldness and cramps had entirely left me, and I could sleep the night through, which I have not done for years.

DRAKE A GO., MU»ct<ll-<kn 31 Fork Row, N. T.jfe ARTIFICIAL LIMBS. SOUTHERN LEG AND ARM CO., MADISON, GA. aA H K Artificial Legs and Arms (Uren’s Patent) _ manufactured by this Company, have met with the unqualified approval of the most skillful and dis tinguished Surgeons and men of science in France and England ; and after the closest and most rigid exami nation in this country-, a Commission was issued by the Surgeon General of the United States, in his “ Circular Order,” May 13th, 1865, to have them fur nished to each soldier who had lost a limb in the Fed eral service. THEY ARE CONSTRUCTED OF WILLOW, COVERED WITH RAW-HIDE, HIGHLY ENAMELED, FLESH COLOR, IMPER VIOUS 'TO WATER AND UNAF FECTED BY HEAT. A Medium Size Arm weighs only 21 ounces, and a Leg from 4 to 6 pounds. Notwithstanding their lightness they are very dura ble, requiring but little expense to keep them in order, and so simple in their construction that a common me chanic can make any necessary repairs in a few min utes, and so strong that it is impossible to split it with an axe or break it with reasonable force. We imitate nature to the life, and make the limb the shape of the corresponding leg or arm, and finish it as perfectly- as possible. The natural motion very often is so perfect that in large number of cases it is impossible to tell which is the artificial from the sound limb. THE ARM is the wonder of the age and challenges tlie admiration of the world. A person yvhose stump is one or more inches in length and retains a healthy degree of force and rigidity, can, with this arm, at wilt. Raise the Artificial Hand to his Mouth, Forehead or even to the top or hack of his Head, Put on or take off his Hat, Carry his Valise or Cloak, Use the Hoe, Axe or Plough Handles, Roll a Wheelbarrow, And by securing ti knife, fork, pen, nail hnish or other implement into the part of tho hand prepared for it, he can Cut his Food and Carry it to his Mouth, Write witli Respectable Clearness, Wash the Remaining Hand, j Play tho Violin, Hold tlie Reins in Driving, etc., etc. THE LEG is equally as ushful and beautiful, and as perfect a piece of mechanicism as the arm. The ankle joint is so constructed as to give the natural motion with the assistance of the toe joints to the foot, which being connected to the upper part of the leg by artificial cords running over pulleys, secures a proper level power, the whole resting upon a huff base, making the step light, elastic, natural and easy. Persons wearing one of these legs 1 Readily Walk Five Miles -Plough all day long, Do Carpenter or Cabinet Work, Go Up and Down Stairs, with ease, Mount and Dismount a Horse, And with practice Run, Jump and Dance, Witli two Artificial Legs Walk two miles Without Resting, Drive a Wagon -Make Salesmen or Expressmen, Telegraph Operators, &e. Our workmen are PRACTICAL ARTIFICIAL ARM and LEG MAKERS, three of them using Legs of their own manufacture. OUR FACILITIES ARE UNSURPASSED. Our Work Warranted! for 13 Months. , PRICES: For a neat, plainly finished'Arm or Leg, steel rivets and hinges $ 150 A fine limb, with silver plated hinges, high ly polished and extra finish, from 250 to 500 Sri" Call and examine for yourselves.
