THE TREASURY CLERKSHIP.
j It is stated that Treasurer Now lias
! usked Secretary Bristow not to press
Mr. GilttUnn to accept the chief
clerkship of the Treasury, vice Avery,
dismissed, inasmuch as lie wauls him
to remain in Ids present position as

POSTAL AFFAIRS.
A report has gone abroad that the i
Postmaster-General will recommend
to Congress tlie abolition of tlie free |
delivery system in cities of less than
ono hundred thousand inhabitants.
This report is incorrect. Were the

bly hesitate about establishing the
system in the smaller cities, hut as it
has been done he does not advocate
its abandonment, but will do all in
Ids power to render it efficient.

SOME OF THE SUFFERERS.
New York, July 29.—The Trenton
Banking Company, of Trenton, N. J.,
whioh lost $150,000 by Jay Cooke,
lost SIOO,OOO by Duncan, Sherman A’
Cos. J. B. Ford & Cos., publishers,
ask an extension. Tho failures do
not affect the Christion Union Pub
lishing Cos., which is a separate or
ganization. Ford A Cos. say their as
sets will exceed their liabilities SBO,-
000. It appears that transfers of pea]
estate have been recorded at tlie
Register’s office this week, on tho
part of Win. Butler, Duncan and
others, members of the firm of Dun
can, Sherman A Cos., to tlie amount
of $1,025,(8X1. Tlie deeds just record
ed date from 1868 to 1874. The name
of the grantee is freshly inserted in a
different handwriting from the body
of tlie deed. Tho Tribune, says a re
sponsible officer of one of the largest
banks in this city stated to their re
porter, yesterday, that Duncan, Sher
man A Cos. had nearly $700,000 tied up
in securities of Mobllo & Ohio Rail
road Company la f which Duncan
was President, and the tlrm fiscal
agentsj and small amounts in the
SelrnaAOulf Railroad, an incomplete
scheme abandoned after t lm panic of
1873. It wus understood, also, says
the Tribune, that in ono of their set
tlements Duncan, Sherman A Cos.
had been obligod to take $30,000 in
Alabama State bonds, which are now
quoted at 35 cents in the dollar.
Aiitl-I'atliollr Lecture.
Philadelphia, July 29.—Ex-Priest
Gardman lectured last night, to an
audience numbering fully 2,000 peo
ple on “Ten Y’cars in the? Priesthood.”
It was thought by many that there
would bo trouble by the Catholics of
the city, and the authorities took pre
caution to preserve order. The lec
ture was a protest against the man-j
ner in which the lecturer said the.
priests and bishops controlled the
poor people of their flock. He ex
plained iiis course in leaving tlie
priesthood, and said lie thougdt of
the matter for three years before, he
took tho step. The Irish Protestants
were present in force, and everything
passed off quietly.
Too Hnrh Hnin!
Cincinnati, July 29. —A dispatch
from Cambridge City, Indiana, says
that the rains of the past few days, i
falling almost constantly, have done j
great damage to the crops in that
vicinity. The farmers are all dis
couraged. A tornado through Switzer
land county, Indiana, prostrated the
growing crops. The wheat crop is
believed to be lost in Ur liana county,
Ohio, and also in Fayette county.
The heavy rains of tho past week
caused it either to rot or sprout.
l're-het* and Floods In Indiana.
Terre Haute, July 29. The heavi

The traiiis are suspended by washing

Union Shrink*, Ala., July 29.
There was a large crowd of young la
dies of this place and also a party
from Midway assembled on tlie base
bull grounds this evening to witness
a match game between tho Houstons,
of Midway, and tho Conecuhs, of Un
ion Springs. The game passed off
pleasantly, in favor of tho Conecuhs
of Union Springs, by a score of 33 to
24. Hospitality wns extended in every
respect towards tlie Midway boys,
and all went away just as happy as
larks, if they were defeated. At tlie
conclusion of tho game Oapt. Chas.
Nowman, of the Midway club, made
a very neat little speech, and assured
tlie Conecuh club that they would
never forget their trip, and how cour
teously they were entertained by tho
club of Union Springs. He also ac
knowledged that tho game whs hon
estly and justly won. Tho gnmo will
he played over again soon.

The work originally published under the title

United States, and the Htgiiuldevelopments which
have taken place in every brauch of science, lit

publishers to submit it to ah exact ami thorough
revision, and to issuo anew edition entitled The

Within tho last ton years the progress of dis

made anew work of reference an imperative

application to the industrial ami useful arts aud
the oonvoulenoe aud refinement of social life.
Great wars ami consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was ut its height when tho last volume oi
tho old work appeared, Übh happily been euded,
and anew course of commercial aud industrial
activity has been commenced.
Large accessions t< our geographical kuowl
edgo have been made by the indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last de
cade, with the natural result of the lapse of time,
have brought into public view a multitude of new
men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and
of whose lives every ono is curious to know the
particulars. Groat battles have been fought and
important sieges maintained, ol which tho de
tails are as yet preserved only in the newspapers
or in the transient publications of the day, but
which ought now to take their place in perma
nent and authentic history.
Iu preparing tho present edition for the press,
it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possi
ble dates, aud to furnish uu accurate account of
the most recent discoveries in science, of every
fresh production in literature, and of tho newest
inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give
a succinct and original record of the progress of
political ami historical events.
Tho work lisb been begun after long and care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources lor carrying it on to u successful term
iuation.
None of the origiuul stereotype plates have
been used, but every page has been printed on
new type, forming in fact anew Uycloprcdia, with
the same plan aud compass as its predecessor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure,
ami with such improvements in its composition
us have been suggested by longer experience and
enlarged knowledge.
Tho illustrations which aro introduced for the
first time in tho present edition have been added
not for the sako of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity and force to the explanations in
the text. They embrace all branches of science
and of natural history, and depict tho most
fatuous and remarkable features of scenery,
architecture and art, as well us the various pro
cesses of mechanics aiul manufactures.
Although intended for instruction rather than
ombelishmcnt, no pains have been spared to in
sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their
execution is enormous, and it is believed they
will find a welcome reception as an admirable
feature of the Cyclopedia, aud worthy of its
high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. It will be completed
in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing
about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several
thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.

Jordan’s Jnynus Julep.
A Specific for Neuralgia.
TESTIMONIALS.
Petersburg, Va., Jan. 20th, 1878.
John Is. Jordan. Esq.—Dear Sir; So well pleased
am I with your Joyous Julep, that I hereby tes
tify to the superior merit of your unequaled
preparation tor Neuralgia. I shall esteem my
self happy should even one of that worst of all
classes of sufferers be led through me to take the
Julep. My wife has for ten (10) years been a mar
tyr to the most malignant and persistent neural
gic torture, without being able to find any relief
except from your preparation. She was relieved
by the second dose as per directions, and has not
had a return of it for two months. To some I
may seem strangely sanguine about your medi
cine, but I have a right to be so. It is not rea
sonable to suppose this malignant malady would
have died or sheer exhaustion of capacity for
sustaining itself, and that too in a minute, and
the very minute your medicine was taken. If so,
it is a most remarkable, simple coincidence, and
I prefer giving the credit in your favor of the
best testimony man can ever have—experience.
Vary truly yours,
JAMES T. TOSH.
Columbus, January 10,1876.
Mr.Jordan:—l tako great pleasure in recom
mending your Joyous Julep for neuralgia,
has produced a most wonderful relief in ouo o\
the severest attacks of neuralgia my daughter
ever has had. She has been treated for it by
three skillful physicians, with very little benefit,
aud used all the usual remedies with little suc
cess. I con with much confidence hope for a per
manent cure. It is only two days since wo began
the use of it, aud it is apparently of permanent
benefit. Ysurs, with respect,
MRS. Is. I. NORMAN.

MALARIA!
Read, Reflect and Act.
If one grain of Vaccine Virus, taken from the
cow’s udder sud kept dry for years, then mol*
teued, and the keenest point of a Lancet dipped
in it aud drawn gently on the arm, so as not to
draw the blood, will so impregnate aud change
the entire system as to prevent the party so vac
cinated from taking tho most loathsome of dis
eases (small pox) for an ontire life; again, if the
Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change an unin
habitable malarial district into a healthy, salu
brious clime, by simply absorbing from the at
mosphere the poison malaria, why will not the
proper remedy, proporly applied, neutralize and
destroy the poison, known as malaria, and thus
enable parties to inhabit malarial districts with
impunity?
Wo claim that there is such a remedy, and that
we have prejscred it, and applied it, and proved
it iu our Auti-malarial or Euchymial Belt—and
that persons who will wear this Belt may inhabit
the worst malarial districts without the fear of
having any diseases arising from malaria; such as
Chills and Fever, Billious or Intermittent Fever,
Yellow Fever, Jaundice, Kularged Liver and
Hpleen, Indigestion, Constipation and Hem
orrhoids, aud that it will cure all the above dis
eases, except the worst cases of Billious and Yel
low Fever.
Tills is called an Anti-malarial or Euchymial
Belt, as it corrects the humors of tl)f oody and
produces a healthy action, Invigorating the sys
tem, aud thus enabling it to perorm its various
duties without fearing the effects of malaria in
tho least.
It has been tried in thousands of cases without
a failure.
They cau bo obtained irom the proprietors in
any quantity at the l'owell Building, junction of
Broad and Peachtree streets, Atlaut*. Ga.
Prlco for a single Belt $3, or $5 with a guaran
tee that it will cute or the money refunded.

Atlanta, Ga., Juno 5,1875.
Messrs. Love k Willson: Gentlemen—lu April
last 1 was taken sick with regular Fever aud
Ague, having it every alternate day. After it had
run ou me for two weeks, I was induced to try
one of your Anti-malarial belts; so I discarded all
medicine, aud simply wore one of your Belts, as
directed, and my Ague became lighter each suc
cessive time thereafter for somo three or four
times, when it left me entirely, with a goed appe
tite aud clear skin; and in future, if I should over
have a Chill or Ague, I would want one of your Pads,
und no physic. Wishing everybody that may be
so unfortunate as to have Chills aud Fever may
be fortunate enough to get one of your Belts,
I am, respectfully, etc.,

Dus. Love k Willson:
Ou the first day of December last I was taken
with Chillß aud Fever in Tbouasville, Bouthwes
torn G*„ ami was treated for the same by three
eminent physicians who were able to stop It only
for a lew days at a time. It made such inroads
on my constitution that my physician pronoun
ced me to be in the first stages of consumption,
wh en I accidentally met up with Drs. Love k Will
son's Anti-malarial Belt, which has entirely cured
mo. I have had but one chill since, and that was
the first day after putting it ou. lam now in as
good health as I ever was iu my lile, and think
this Belt a God send to the afflicted.

Home nine years ago I contracted malaria in
Savannah, Ga., from which I have suffered, at
times, ever siuce, until I met up with Drs. Love k
Willson's Anti-malarial Belt some three montha
ago. I have worn It continually, and have had no
chill siuce, and find my general health, which
has been poor, much improved. I would recom
mend it to others Buffering with malaria.
