GRACE'S CELEBRATED SALVK Is A VEGETABLE PREPARATION invented in the 17th centurv by Dr. William Grace, Surgeon in King James' army. Through its agency he cured thousands of the most serious sores and wounds that baffl­ ed the skill of the most eminent phvsicians of his day, and was recrarded by "all who knew Wn as a public benefactor. PRICE 15 CENTS • ROX. Calling; Things by their Right Maasoa Einhazclemtat, obtaining property untter false pretence*, th« misappro­ priation of trust funds, although class­ ed as criminal oflen*ea, hate been looked upon as rather a mild and gen­ teel type of. crime, as compared with highway robbery, house-breaking or what the law at the present time de- Ares as grand or petit larceny. The character and position of the men who usually perpetrate the former class of offenses have had a great deal to do with giving them an air of respecta­ bility, The law is in a measure to blame for this, lis giving different names and in awarding widely differ­ ent punishment to the same crime,-- The poor man, who, to save his sick, fatnjly from starvation, steals the wherewith to relieve their wants, la a vulgar thief, while the responsible head of moneyed incorporations, the guar­ dians of orphans, and the agents of the public*who steal the funds entrusted to them are only guilty of misdemeauor and hardly lose cast In society. A great reform in tho criminal code is under agitation In England, and also in the State of New York. It is pro­ posed in the first place to call' things by their right names. The taking of human life unlawfully Is to be called murder, and every criminal appropria­ tion of property is to be called "lai> ceny" and punished as such. A Legislative Commission ol New York appointed to revise the statutes, have reported an act codifying and simplifying the criminal laws of the Stals. Tliey regard the distinction between larceny and embezzlement, &c., as purely an artificial one. **which' has grown up through the necessity of providing for the punishment of crimes which are of the same nature of lar­ ceny, but not included under Its origi­ nal definition at the common law." It was formerly held that there must be a trespass or a forcible interference with an actual possession of the true owner to constitute the crime of larceny.-- The crimes of -embezzlement ami ob­ taining money under false pretences do not Involve a trespass or forcible tak­ ing front the possession of the owner* but are tnore frequent and more <*an- gereus than simple stealing. Tliere is no substantial reason for preserving the cifPtiiK'tion between these oflenses. It* abolition will tend to simplify pleadings and practice, and otherwise promote the due administration of jus­ tice. There will Jbe no splitting of hairs over technical questions. All misappropriation of property, no mat­ ter how the possessions thereof may have been "obtained, will be .made equally odious and punishable. The Next U. S. Census. The new census bill has passed both houses of Congress. It provides for a Superintendent, to be appointed by the President; for one or more Super­ visors in each State to be appointed by the Secretary of the Interior, and not to exceed 150 in all. The Super­ visors are to apportion their Districts «nd appoint enumerators, to be select­ ed not on political grounds but for fit* ness alone. The subdivision of the enumerators should not consist of mote than 4,000 inhabitants. The enumera­ tion is to begin and end in the month of June 1880. The enumerators are to receive $6 per day. and to be selected by the Supervisors with reference solely to their fitness for the work.-- The Supervisors are 10 have full charge of taking the census and the collection of statistics in their District, anu are to receive 9800 in full for their servi ces, exclus|ve of clerk hire. f An estimate of the changes that will be made In the House of Representa­ tives by the census of 1880 shows a gain of sixty-six members. Of these the Eastern and Middle States will seenre eleven, the VVestern States forty, and the Southern States fifteen. Accept­ ing this estimate as correct, the elec­ toral vote ot 1884 will be divided sec- tionally as follows: Eastern and Middle States, 124; Western States, 173 Southern States, 188. This would give a solid North a majority of 159 votes over a solid South. A MINING 8TOMY. When the history of the great Car­ bonate camp Is written. It will contain many startling stories of how fortunes have been lost and made since its dis­ covery. The latest of these comes to us from Fryer Hill In connection with the Deer Lodge Mine.owued by Messrs. Kelly, Younger A Smith. Like many other mines iu this coveted locality the Deer Lodge has been valuable heretofore chiefly for location. Friday at noon, the shaft had'Yesched a deptii of 130 feet, was working in iron and poiphyr, and the prospects looked bright to a party of capitalists contein plating purchase. After debating the matter for a time, they concluded that an interest would or might be a good tiling, and asked "Gentlemen, Wllit wlll you take for a Imlf interest in the Deer Lodger* "Ten thousand dollars, il taken be fore 6 o'clock to night." The matter was taken under advise ment, oud the sale of the Interest in­ trusted to the Mining Exchange, on HaVrison avenue, where further talk and negotiations were carried on, and the good and bad points -of the Deer Lodge dwelt upon by the parties de­ siring to purchase and the brokers oflerijig it for sale. However, late in the afternoon negotiations ceased, and nothing further was thought of the mine, at least by the Mining Exchange people, who felt confident that the property was a desirable one, until one of the owners putin an appearance at the office about € o'clock. As soon as he opened the door, without betraying any special anxiety, be inquired: "Have you sold that half interest In the Deer Lodge, offered this afternoon for $10,000?" "No,sir; the parties are sillconsld erlng the matter." "Good! That half interest is now worth $60,000!" At about half-past 5 o'clock In the evening the working force at the bot­ tom of the shaft, having reached a depth of 136 feet« sent up the cheering intelligence, that high-grade' mineral ha d been struck, samples of which were hurried to the surface and luto the presence of the owners. As might well bo Imagined under the circumstance, the strike was kept very quiet, and the owners became very nervous, fearing that the interest of­ fered for $10,000 would be taken before the time elapsed when, according to agreement, it might be rejected. One of the fortunate owners was at once started for the city to ascertain the facts, with the result above gir«n. w A Powerful Voice. Jnst before a recent thunder storm a Whitehall man stepped .Into a tele­ graph office and requested the. privi­ lege of talking through the telephone with his wife,who was visiting friends in Troy. The gentlemanly assistant manager granted the request, and the Whitehaller began opcratiou. He couldu't be prevailed upon to believe that it was really his wife who was talking to him, and she so many miles away. He finally asked her to say something known only to tttemaelves, that he might be couvluaed it was her. Just then a rumbling streak of liglit- uing came in on the wires, heeling the husband over on his head, when he jumped to his feet and exclaimed: "That's the old woman sartin--only she's got a little more powerful since she left home.--New York JSt. X.KADVILLK'8 RIVAL. The Silver Cliff (Col.) Afiner says that the new discoveries ju«t made of carbonate silver ores, two miles ot that town, outrival all other precious metal bearing ores ever before discovered.-- These carbonates are not confined to narrow veins, but show in the oountry a vast deposit, illimitable iu supply^-- Two thousand capitalists and miuers, jostled one by the other, made an as­ sault on the new find last Tuesday tnofnini;, yet once reaching thegrouad al) found worlds of room. The aver­ age assays at teu feet have been, so far 133 ounces silver to the ton of 2,000 pounds, to say nothing of gold, copper and lead in the ore, aud oue man can extract or dig five to seven tons per day of tills carbonate. It, too* is in such a formation that It does not Itn pair the health of the miner, or any one who in anywise handles it. Ex­ perts, prospectors, all declaro this vast body of ore the richest and most re­ markable ever known. It is now calcu­ lated that.at a low estimate, $2,000.- 000 to $6,000,000 can be mined in this new belt mouthly, at a profit of 60 to 75 per cent. Nothing In the world's iniuing history approaches this new find, aud, if on the surface itshowsthus turpassiugly rich, What will It be at depth? Out of the multitudinous as­ says made, we can select tho?e who will show up into the thousands, but mill-runs of ore which, taken from above ten feet, as from the Thames claim, results in an average of ninety ounces, is a discovery never before equaled. ______________ ffirTlie introduction of Iron buggies is now proposed. The inventor has constructed a vehicle which consists ex­ clusively of iron and steel. For in­ stance, in place of hickory spokes and oak felloes, he employs wrought iron tubes and T iron; these tubes fit into the axle box at one end, and are rivet­ ed to the T iron at the other. The first noticeable effect of the employ­ ment of iron for all parts. It Is said, has been to add to the weight of the vehicle, this having ocoared in spite of the thinness of the parts. The cost l^lso lias been enchanced, but for this the augmented strength and durability tre regarded as a full equivalent. In appearance it is neat and light. LOGAN'S PLtTCKAHU AUD AC ITT. John Logan has walked over the course again in Illinois. It was he that elected, or rather, inaugurated Ruth­ erford B. Hayes, by getting David Davis out of the Supreme Conrt and Into the Senate. If Davis bad re­ mained in the Supreme Conrt, nothing on earth could have kept hlttt off the Electoral Commission, and the vote would then have been "8 to f" In favor of Uncle Sammy. Tllden. John A. Lo­ gan is a man whom Democrats ought to sit tip nights to hate. For be left the Senate in order that the Republi­ cans might get the President. By the way, I have an odd reminiscence of him, • (It seems to uie my letters are largely--perhaps too largely-remiiti- scential.) He caineinto the office of the Chicago Evening Post one day in the winter of 18f4, accompanied by, another stalwart politician of Illinois. And he said to me (I was managing ed­ itor at the ;tiine:) "Have you heard the news?*' 1 acknowledge that I probably had not been made acquainted with the startling thing alluded to. "I'm going to be the next Senator from this State," said he. "You don't seem to have any news­ paper backing to speak of,"it said: "no paper in Chicago has nominated you." "No matter. I shall be Senator whether any Chicago paper helps me or not." "You would prefer the backing of some good paper?" "O, certainly," he said. "And that's the point. I am going to be Senator-- sure! Set it down as a fact. Now If you want a malte a little reputation for your Pott, you can make It by mentioning that fact," , The audacity of the man struck me as almost amusing. I said I would see. That evening an editorial council was held, and the next day we came out for Logan. Hie campaign in Springfield was picturesque in the extreme. Lo­ gan's earnestness pervaded everything. Ills very postiveuess made hosts of con verts. His accomplished and beautiful wife held one constant levee In one of the parlors of the hotel, wltl) attrac. tive companions to assist, blie did all that grace and hospitality, musis and social fascinations could dp to send her warrior to the fronts He won the day over Oglesby then as easily as now for he has warm personal qualities not pos- Sesfced by "Uncle Dlxky--lndianapoli* Journal.

The first Indications ot winter were early in September, ou the 8th. six Inche* of snow fell In the mountains, though none fell on the prairie. October and November were fine months, with now aud then « flirt of snow. But in Dec­ ember Old Winter pat oil his most rug­ ged front stfd snow and cold and storm held high revelry over the face of the earth, the thermometer marking sev­ eral times 30 degrees below zero. But shortly after New Years the Lord seemed to speak among the troubled elements and there was a calm. Old Winter smoothed his wrinkled brow. For about a month an April sun seemed ehlning In the Heavens, though of late It.has been colder with snow and wind. There are usually severe snow storms here during the months of March and April. There is an Abundance of wood and coal In this country though at present the coal mines are not worked to any extent, wood being cheaper than coal, as it has to be freighted 30 miles. There is a general stampede from here to Leadviile Colorado. While returning from Wyoming the other day I came^tlose to a flue herd of Antelope of fifteen head. Having hear a great deal of cant about hunters exciting their curiosity with a red rag to draw them near, I took a red hand­ kerchief and placing it upon a stick, waved it to and fro but the only curi­ osity they seemed to manifest was a curiosity to see how much space they could put between themselves and the horrid red object. W. S. S. |9*ThP reports that come from the Iron districts of Pennsylvania indicate a revival of business that Is very cheering. The mines, furnaces, forges, rolling-mills, and machine-shops are making preparations for great en- enlargements. We*wish that there- turn of prosperity, and enjoyment of workmen who have long been waiting for it, might be the signal for the es­ tablishment of closer confidence be* tween the employers and the employed, and for the prompt suppression of *U conspiracies to foment discord between those wiio are mutually depeucknt upou each other. Examine two different geared Courtland Wagons at S. M. Owen** WASHIWQTOJ* GORBMPOHllKMCft, WASHINGTOK, D. C. Feb. Mlh, 187S. :;i There are two perils now threaten* ing this District which Congress la by every consideration of hnmsnlty and fair dealing to Mtrive to avert by appropriate legislation before adjourn- ment on the 4th proximo. For many years--ever since the causeway of long bridge was built connecting us with the Virginia shore and virtually (tam­ ing the river with the exception of the two channels that were left open--the debris washed down from the upper Potomac with the annual freshets, has been deposited In front of tiie city.-- Flat acres in extent have formed along the two shores and between the two channels. These are covered with* rank vegetable growth peculiar to Southern marshes and are the lurking places for concentrated malaria that la wafted oyer this city by every South­ ern and Western breeze. The East­ ern Branch or Aoacostia River choked up with similar marshes, forms osv uorth-eastern boundary, so that it ie now difficult or wholly impossible to sail a boat of three tons where vessels of 40 or 50 tons plied regularly 60 yeaH ago. Our sewer system has Its outlet chiefly above the bridge, and Into thla last named river. Most of the vast quantities of the facal matter and oth­ er filth Is deposited directly on thoeo flat*, and what escapes is ultimately returned by flood tido. This evil hM been Increasing every year and last season the vile odors poisoned the at­ mosphere all over the city and occa­ sioned much sickness. With Yellow Fever threatening it seems impossi­ ble for Washington to escape a pesti­ lence with next summer's hot weather unless Congress takes immediate steps to abate the nuisance. The other mat­ ter involves the absolute confiscation of the property of hundreds of poor people, through the tax liens on It which Congress authorised the lata Board of Publle Works to impose lor improvements that ruined much prop­ erty in addition to the taxes. The status of the regular annual ap­ propriation bills wero as follows oa Saturday morning: The Military Academy,, the Pension, Consular and Di plomatic, Indian and Naval bills--f of the 12--had passed both Houses aind were therefore out of the way so far as Congress was concerned. The Poet Office bill had passed both Bouses tmt was on the Speakers table In the Hones awaiting the action of that body on Senate amendments relative to the appropriation for a bi-monthly mall service from New York via Norfolk, aud New Orleans via Galveston, alter­ nately, to Brazil. The Army bill was before the Senate with the probability that it will ultimately pass with the re-organization features Stricken out.-- The deficiency bill was before tl|f Senate Committee. Ditto the river and harbor bill, with the prospect thai the $5,500,000 appropriated by the low­ er House would be Increased a half milliou--perhaps more--by the Senate. The other three bills, viz: the legisla tive mwl executive, the sundry civ![ and the fortification bills were still be­ fore the House which had been skir­ mishing some days in a rather desul­ tory way, over the Democratic riders to do away with the test-oath to U>8, jurors, aud to repeal the law that pro­ vides Federal supervisors of election* each side maneuvering for advantage of position before settling down to the fierce fighting that has been generally predicted over these two measures.-- The internal revenue and anti-C'liine|s bills were still on the Speaker's tabls awaiting action on Senate amend­ ments. The bill for distributing tbn balance of the Geneva Award had ju«| been reported back from the Senate Judiciary Committee and Is on tho calendar awaiting its turn; but unless taken up out of its order. It seams Im­ possible that it should be reaehed In the 7 days remaining of the sessjon.-- The Steamboat and interstate eo<^ tnerce bills are with the Senate Coajr mittee on Commerce. Two otti#r Im­ portant measures--one to provide for the anticipated revenue deficit and that to appropriate tho utoney needed to satisfy the provision* <*f the firrears of pension bill,--are among thoeo awaiting and imperatively demanding action. There are hundreds of others, private and public, that will fail fsi lack of time, but the mosl important are enumerated tha**.
