And my thoughts will come and go, Like the tiny bursting foam-bells, As the waters onward flow. My bme spirit droop- in sadness, And my stricken heart bows low, Sighing for the hours of gladness, And the friends of lung ago. But 1 seem to feel the presence Of some sainted spirit near, And a voice of silvery sweetness, Softly fails upon my ear. And its tones low, sweet, and loving, Tell me cherished ones are nigh Bid my spirit cease its grieving; They are coming by and by. And I ask the shining angel, As it watidereth below, Are there weary hearts in Heaven But the mild sweet voice says No. Is my darling mother wilh you And my sister fond and dear? Gently comes this soothing answer, Cheer up mourner, they are here. Are there days of bitter sorrow Are there nights of bitter woe? Wistful, yearning for the morrow Mill the seraph voice says No. Will a brother strive with brother? Will the crimson life-tide flow .Staining red the bright life waters Sweetly conies the answer No. Where the silver surge is breaking, On the bright and golden shore There shall be no evil speaking, And no strife forevermore. Shall I hear the angels calling. When the snows on meadows lie Or when autumn leaves are falling, Will it not be my time to die Cease, oh! cease thy vain repining, When the Father’s voice says come, Then Love’s tender ties entwining, Round thy soul will bear it home. Gladly do the work before thee. In the moments as they fly, Waiting for thy crown ofglory, For the faithful by and by. LLEWELLYN A. WADSWORTH. 1 Augusta, May 5. 1870. _ <Ealesi and £hctclic$. j MOI XTAIN IIIAKLIE. l’Y JOHN TRUES DALE. Some four years before I donned the uniform of the boys-in-ldue to go to the I Avars, and Avhile 1 Avas drifting about the world seeking for some place a\ here I could find both employment and pecuniary I profit, 1 fell in with a friend who Avas as i needy as myself, and far more adventur ous. He proposed that avc should join a I train of settlers then about to set oft' from j St. Louis for the new El Dorado, Pike's Peak, where the gold fever was raging high. He argued that, as we had little to lose, and much to gain, avc might safely make the venture. I consented to the proposition, and we left New York for St. Louis, travelling night and day, but i reaching the hitter place only to find that the train we had hoped to join hail started i about the time Ave had left New York, and Avas now far on its way to the Plains, too far. indeed, for us to hope to over take it. We were told, however, that a j party of miners who had come over from the Peak a 1'oav days before to deposit their gold dust in safety to St. Louis, would return shortly, and avc were advised to ivait aud join that party. Our informant added, by avSV of inducement, that Mouil j tain Charlie was with them with his wag on. Who Mountain Charlie was tve did not then know, but it iras not long before i we learned. i e inane satisfactory arrangements with the miners, anil on the day appointed j set out with them for the land of our hopes. Our party consisted of about a I dozen men on horse back, and a wagon well stocked with goods and provisions, j drawn by four stout horses, and driven by j the buttons Mountain Charlie. This indi vidual was a small, lithely-built fellow, i clad in the rough ores* of the Plains, j which set off his w ell made figure to great i j advantage. He was, to an extent, effemi nate in appearance, lint his face, which was almost too delicate for a man, seemed too masculine for a woman. It was clear j cut and smooth, without the slightest trace j ot beard, and his long black hair floating in masses over it, gave his countenance a I wild, elfish appearance. His eyes were j large and brilliant, and his thin lips were set with an expression of greater deter* initiation than 1 had ever seen on a human face. Although he was a singular looking I being, and 1 could well believe the stories j i my traveling companions told me about him. In their eyes lie was a hero. He j was one of the most reckless and daring j men on the Plains, the best shot in the j country, the hardest to make drink, and the most skill trrl card player about Pike's Peak, vet witlml the most thoroughly gen erous fellows in the world. We made a great deal of money by his team and by cards, yet could never keep it. The re I suit was that he became famous among the rough, rude men at the Peak, many of whom he had befriended. As we rode along I watched him close i ly. He rode one of the horses of his team and kept well in the advance. He did not j seem to care to have much to say to any i one, but amused himself singing in a low tone some wild, weird song, the refrain j of which he would repeat over and over again. Sometimes I could catch a few words as they floated by me, and they breathed a threat of vengeance for some wrong. The manner of the man, and the 1 tone in which he sang, gave me an idea that he was applying the song to himself, and uttering his threats against some real enemy. This was not strange, for I was in a land where the law of vengeance was swift and sure, and where a wrong was repaid with a promptness and vindic tiveness that woulu have scorned barbar i)us in a more civilized community. Yet, here it was both upheld and encouraged, and, indeed, it was to some extent neces sary, for here no regular law prevailed. Men must have some restraint over them, and in such a state of society as this, brute force alone can control them. We had been out just about a week from St. Louis, when an accident occurred which gave me an insight into the character and history of Mountain Charlie. We had en camped for the night, and built our fires upon a convenient spot, and after the evening meal was over, the party, as usual, resorted to cards. Mountain Char lie, however, refused to play that night, declaring he hail a headache. He sat moodily by the tire, oceasionaly stirring it with his foot. The conversation was of a character cal culated to shock a refined nature, but I had grown so accustomed to the ways of these rude people, that it interested me. Each of the players around me had killed his man and to-night they were all relat ing the manner in which "these deeds had been performed. One of the group was a large, powerful man named Ephraim Bailey, lie had gone fromjVermont, and had been two years at the diggings. He had been unusually lucky in his efforts, and bad amassed a considerable sum o£ money. lie listened in silence to the re citals of his companions, and when they had till finished, he said, quietly,— "I am not a boasting man, gentleman, but I can tell you a more romantic story than any 1 have yet listened to. I never killed but one man, but the manner in which I did that is well worth listening All united in a demand for the story, and I saw Mountain Charlie, who had as yet said nothing, a-smne an attitude of in tense interest. rue years ago, said Hailey, alter a pause, '1 was living in a little town in Vermont. In the same town was a young woman with whom 1 had been in love since mv boyhood. I would have sold my soul to have made her my wife, and I think she would have married me, but for a young fellow who came from the city ami settled in our place. He prejudiced her against me, and ended the matter by marrying her himself. I said nothing at the time, but I swore I would have my re venge. 1 knew my time would come, and I waited patiently, acting all the while in such a manner as to prevent suspicion from falling on me if anything should hap pen. Well, one day I met the young hus band in a lonely place in the mountains, about ten miles from the town. Before he knew mv intention, I shot him, and killed him. He never knew what hurt him, and to cause it to be believed that he was mur dered for his money, I took his watch and pocket-book, and then returned to the town by another road. The body was found the next day, and the whole country was thrown into the greatest excitement. It hurt me to see the grief of the poor wid ow, but l comforted myself with the hope that 1 would soon be able to console her. I was among the most active in trying to discover the murderer, and unceasing in my kindness to the widow. No one ever dreamed of suspecting me, and after the expiration of a year I became convinced that mv chance for marrying the woman I loved was decidedly good. Encouraged by this feeling, I asked her to become my wife. She accepted me, and we were reg ularly engaged. In about a month or so, she proposed tome that I should come out here and endeavor to better my fortune, and promised to marry me when 1 return ed. I am going home in six months more. I shall carry fifty thousand thou sand with me, aud shall marry my sweet heart as soon as I reach Vermont. Now that’s what I call romantic. What do you say to it, Charlie he asked, turning to the young man. Mountain t iiarlie had been sitting all tins while with liis head resting on one hand, gazing steadily into the fire. The flickering light gave his dark features a startling expression, and his whole coun tenance seemed glowing with suppressed excitement. He did not move as he heard Bailey's question, but replied, calmly: "It's a very strange story, Bailey, and reminds me very much of ay affair that I once heard of. The cases are so much alike that I will tell you the story.” Some years ago I knew a Vermont wo man who had, like your sweetheart, two lovers. She chose the man she thought best suited her and married him, never suspecting that the unlucky one meant any harm. Well, in the course of time, this woman’s husband was killed and the mur derer was never found. She had no sus picion as to who had done the deed, but in her heart she swore an oath, that if the murderer was ever found he should die by her hand. You will bear jne out, Bailey, when 1 say that the Vermont women do not make such a vow in vain. Well, in her affliction, the widow found the lover whom she had discarded her best friend, and when her first wild grief hail passed away she came to love him. At last he asked her to marry him, and she consented. One day, during theirengage inent, they were sitting together when she noticed her lover in possession of a watch hieh she could have sworn had lielonged ;o her dead husband. This startled her md aroused her suspicious, and gradually there settled upon her the suspicion that the man she had promised to marry was her husband's murderer. Still she was not sure of the correctness of her suspi cions, and, after much thought, she re solved upon a definite plan. She persuad ed her lover to leave Vermont, and go to Pike’s Peak to better his fortunes. Her real purpose, however, was to get him out into that lawless community, worm hisse eret out of him, and then wreak her ven geance upon him.” "The devil!” muttered Bailey, laying down his cards and looking fixedly at Mountain Charlie, who had not stirred from his position. “That was strange.” “Wait a bit,” said Charlie quietly; ‘*you haven't heard the strangest part. This woman disguised herself so thoroughly that her own mother would not have known her, and followed her lover to the West in the disguise of a miner. She became one of his most favored companions, shared all his confidences, but for a long time failed

to learn what she desired most to know. She was successful at last, however. One night, as a party of miners were seated around the camp tire, the conversation turned on murder, just as it has done here to-night. The disguised woman listened eagerly to every word, and at hist heard her lover relate exultantly, the manner in which he had murdered her husband, just as you have tonight, Hailey Her suspi cions were now confirmed. She was face to face with her husband's murderer, and her hour of venganee had comp.” Mountain Charlie had risen to his feet while speaking, and he walked over to where Bailey was sitting, his eyes east down on the ground, and his fingers clasp-, ing each other nervously. "And did she kill him?” he asked in an agitated Jute. “Of course sin did.” replied Charlie, with an energy that started me. “Do you thiirk she would let such an opportunity pass bv The strangest part ot the story was the way in which she killed him. I'll show you how she diii it. Hailey, so that it ever you wish to kill another man, you can try her method.” lie walked up to the miner as he spoke, and stood just behind him. The woman” he went on, "got up from where she had been sitting when she heard her lover’s story, and approaching him, as he sat utterly unconscious of his danger, laid her hand on his head, just as I lay my hand on yours, and before lie could understand her purpose, she threw him backwiwd upon the ground, just in trlis way, and in an other instant her hunting knife was planted in his heart.” As he spoke, Mountain Charlie seized the miner, who seemed utterly paralized, by the throat, and hurling him to the ground sprang upon him. We saw the bright glitter of a knife, and sprang to our feet in dismay, but. before we could pre vent it. Mountain Charlie had buried the keen weapon in the heart ot Ephraim Hailey. Then, rising to his feet with a kind of a wild dignity, be said, solemnly, —"Gentlemen, i am a woman. I am the widow of the man In: murdered.” The mystery was now solved, and we knew the history of the strange being be fore us. •*1 am ready to surrender myself," she said calmly. “I suppose that the law will hang me for this deed.” ine minors, However, mougiu mm mu ly. Hud I wis»‘ly hold my tongue. They thought she had done right, and assured her dial uo harm should happen to her. They agreed to keep the matter seeret. and keep their pledge faithfully. A few weeks after our arrival at l’ike's Peak, the young widow, who had resumed her proper dress, became the wife of one ot the miners who had witnessed the killing of Hailey, and who, strange to say, had fallen in line with her, outol admiration for "her pluck.” Bailg Ittuurkr Journal AUGUSTA, FRIDAY MORNING, May 13. 1870 REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

Mrs. Richardsqn has told her story and left it to the public to judge how far she was culpable in tin* transactions with which her name is now intimately connected. A girl of nineteen years of age, she was in duced bv the representations and bland ishments ol McFarland, who was twice as old as she, to mam him. Soon after mar riage she found she had been deceived by her husband in respect to his property and business, and that he was worthless and a drunkard. For years she endured poverty and abuse, being threatened with violence and murder in his drunken frenzies, and at last, in 1x67, separated herself from him, anil never lived with him again. She went to Indiana, remained there sixteen mouths, and obtained a divorce according to the laws of tlmt State. Last October she returned to New York, ller acquaint ance with Richardson previous to separa tion from McFarland appears not to have been very intimate, neither did lie advise her to leave her husband. The abuse of McFarland towards her ami his neglect to provide for his family's wants were her justification for leaving him. The forms of law wore complied with that made the separation final, and she was soon to be married to Richardson, when the latter was shot by McFarland. This was more than two years after the formal separation had taken place between her and McFar Jpml at Mr. Sinclair's house, since which time they had never lived together as hus band and wife. Tlii* is Mr*. Richardson's story. If it be true there should bo little sympathy for Daniel McFarland. He first deceived, then drove M» wife to leave him by his brutal conduct,and through hatred of the man who befriended the woman Unit he had tram I.. i pled upon and cast away, he did the deed for which lie was tried for his life, it in addition to this it lie true, as Richardsons most intimate friends havo no doulit, that the latter acted towards the wronged woman throughout in the most honorable and magnanimous manner, still less will there he occasion for sympathy with Daniel McFarland. Ilis brutal conduct toward his wife bars him from human compassion the hatred which burned in his bosom at the effect of his demon-like course is a poor apology for the bloody crime which he committed. To hold up such a man as the injured and maddened husband, seeking redress for his wrongs two years after separation had taken place, upon Richardson, in a moment of frenzy, is too bold a piece of deception to dupe any one not laboring under some moral delusion that steals away his senses, it availed with the jury under the arts of a skillful counsel, but among people of cool judgment it will not answer to cover up the true features of the ease. SEX A TOR MORRILL A XI) THE OSAGE I.AXDS. The remarks of Senator Morrill on the bill providing for the sale of the Osage lands in Kansas, and the settlement of the Indians in the Indian Territory, will be read with satisfaction by every friend of humanity. He places the responsibility for our difficulties with the Indians where they properly belong, and speaks for jus tice to a weak, decaying and much abused race. We copy the following from the report in the Globe, of the titii: Mr. President, if I could hope to arrest the attention of the Senate on this bill I should he very glad to state some of its char acteristics which in my judgment deserve the most serious consideration. I think 1 can show to the Senate that this bill is ot the most questionable character, the passage of which would be little less than a legislative scandal, to be pointed to in the history of the country as so extraordinary as to be wholly unjustifiable upon grounds either of legisla tive expediency or legislative wisdom. The whole difficulty comes from the fact that lawless men, men who were desirous of obtaining these lands, unscrupulous men. men disregardful of tie- rights of the Indians, have gone on there in great numbers, flocked in, perhaps, from other States, as the Senator says. I have no disposition to single out the people of Kansas for offensive criticism hut there is the tact—if there is trouble on that reservation it comes from lawless aggression of whites on the rights of the Indians. Why, sir. the Secretary of the Interior asks an appropriation of 800,000 to feed these Osage Indians. Why? He says while these Indians were off on their hunt, as they had a right to be. in the latter part of the fall and early part of the winter, people rushed into that reservation, occupied their possessions, and when the Indians returned they found them in full possession of their cultivated lands, their corn-fields, their corn, their houses, their buildings and they hold them to-day; and the Government of the United States has never lifted its hands to protect these Indians although there stands the treaty obligations. Although there stands the faith of the nation pledged in a solemn treaty to protect these Indians, twenty thousand squat ters are there, and this nation is to send a regiment of men, at an expense, the honora ble Senator gays, greater than the whole value of this land, to protect what? To protect, as my honorable friend from Iowa said yester day, the white women and the children from the tomahawk and the scalping-knife of the savage. That is his representation. Sir, if the United States have a duty to perform there—and they have ns high and as holy as a nation can have—it is to protect the Indians against lawless and reckless dep redations of these twenty thousand squatters. They are in a state of starvation. They are wandering over that territory, and have been violently assaulted, their stock taken, provi sion taken, and everything upon which they subsist, and the Army called in to protect the white population, it is said, against the In dians and then the Senate of the United States is invoked to complete tile wrong tnus begun hy expelling the Indians, turning them oil' to wander and to perish. These are the Usages, who have inhabited that region of country known as the Usage country for a period beyond the memory of the white race. We have been treating with these Indians now tor sixty years and more. We have taken them under our protection. They have been our allies, as you will see if you look into the treaty stipulations. We have cultivated terms of friendship with them. They have observed their treaties; that the history shows. And now, forsooth, when having by these treaty stipu lations reduced their entire dominions, which once covered the entire State of Kansas and more, down to five million acres, we propose to call in the military and eject them by force. Was that ever done before in the legisla tion of this country Was it ever done any where before? Will anybody say that we ought to do a thing of that sort to a feeble and impotent people who are in your power with no power to resist and no voice to be heard? Will anybody say that any such act as that ever wus known in any civilized country and in any deliberative body But that is this proposition. Volt propose by this act of leg islation to override a solemn treaty made with those Indians and in which your faith is pledged by an aet done in their absence, giv ing them no voice anci no day in court: and all this is to be done by the Kepresentatives of a Christian people. That some arrangement ought to be made to relieve the state of affairs existing in Kan sas 1 uni fully persuaded. 1 think it not un likely that the Indians ought to be removed. I have no doubt in the condition ot atlairs which exists in Kansas that one of two things must happen either tile white trespassers and squatters who are there without any au thority of law and against the treaty obliga tions of the United States must be dealt with as they richly deserve, and removed from that reservation, and they are twenty thousand strong it is said, or the Indians must be re moved; and as the Indians in the latter his tory of our country have always gone to the wail in these conflicts, and will now, I have no doubt, I am only solicitous, recognizing that fact, that provision shall be made for these Indians out of this reservation; that they shall nulAc stripped of it; that it shall be sold honestly and fairly as a matter ot trust for the benefit of the IndiailSj anil be come a trust fund for them that wheresoever they go, whether they shall find a home in the Indian country or whether they shall roam still further, the Government of the United States shall hold the full benefit of this reser vation. pitiful remnant of an empire, for the protection and support of these Indians. With that view 1 think this hill ought to be recommitted to the committee with instruc tions, and those instructions are to provide, with the consent of the Indians, for their re moval to some suitable place. 1 am opposed to an arbitrary assumption of ownership over land that we do not own. 1 mis opposed to putting upon the records that we arrogantly assume tu deal with these people according to our arbitrary will. 1 would humanely and compassionately provide for them somewhere where they can have security, and then pro vide that these lands shall be sold under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior, the proceeds of the sale to be carefully preserved, and the interest of it to lie applied to the sup port and protection of these people. LETTER FROM SENATOR MORRILL. The papers referred to by Senator Mor rill in the subjoined letter will, we doubt not, recognize the propriety of publishing it. We trust moreover that mischief-1 makers and soreheads from Calais to! Portland will read, ponder and inwardly' digest the words of the Senator—and that I henceforth we shall hear no more of a slander which has disgraced only those who originated and circulated it. i United States Senate Chamber. f Washington. May 9th, 1870. Hon. James (i. Bi.aine, My Dear Sir: 1 have greatly regretted to observe that certain papers in Maine have in timated, if not directly charged, that in the Senatorial contest of 18G9. you did not act the part of a true friend to uie. The same thing has been verbally stated at different times, hut. as you are well aware, without any countenance from me. As I have often said to you. 1 never had the slightest cause to doubt that you acted with fidelity and honor to me throughout that struggle, and there has riot been a moment for the past fifteen years when the friendship and cordiality of our re lations have suffered the slightest interrup tion. You are at liberty to make public use of this letter if you desire. Y'our friend, very truly, I.ot M. Morrill. MR. COLFAX'S DEPOSITION. The New York Times of yesterday had the following deposition of Schuyler Col fax, offered and excluded in the McFar land trial. Mr. Colfax says ‘•I hail no agency or connection, directly or indirectly, in her application for or procuring a divorce from Mr. McFarland in the State nt Indiana. She applied to me by letter about a year. I think, after their separation, for let ters of introduction to persons in Indianapo lis. As it has been my daily practice for years to give letters of introduction to all per sonal friends, and believing her then. a« I do now, to be worthy ot suelt letters of intro duction, I sent her two, one addressed to a former colleague in Congress, Hon. A. (i. I’ortcr, and the other to an old friend. T. I’. Hughey. I cannot recall the contents of these letters, except that I think that I spoW of her in them as a lady in deep distress and worthy of their esteem. Hut although I .-op posed. from having heard that her separation from her husband was final, that she went to Indiana to obtain a divorce, I gave no testi-' mony in these letters on that subject, as I had no knowledge of my own about it. and knew that it must be decided by the evidence sub-1 mitted to the court when it came on for trial. if sueh a suit was commenced. Mr. Richard- 1 son never asked me for any letter of intro-1 duction to any one in Indiana that I re member. A day or two after the first shooting of Kichardson by McFarland I was passing through New York city, and I called at Mr. Sinclair's residence, where Kichardson was to see me. I found Kichardson in bed and ap- parently in pain. 1 told him how it saddened me to find him involved in such a matter and, suffering in consequence. He replied by as serting that there had been nothing criminal in his relations with Mrs. McFarland. l)uring*part of this conversation, which lasted probably half an hour, Mrs. McFar land was present. She took no part in the conversation, and was weeping part of the time. In the same conversation Mr. Rich ardson stated to me that if she obtained a di vorce from her husband, he intended to marry her, if she would accept him, as lie believed she could make his life a happy one. He did not ask me to aid in procuring the divorce, and I supposed, from a reference lie made to Connecticut and its laws, that the divorce would be applied for in that State by her. She never nt any time stated to me that she contem plated marrying Mr. Kichardson after obtain ing a divorce, but. 1 think, was present and si- lent when he made the* remark that it siie j obtained a divorce he intended to marry her, if she would accept him, &c. I was nev er instrumental in procuring employment for her, with or without emolument, nor was I ever asked by her or by any person in her lie half to do so. I did not know that siie con templated going to Indiana until I received her letter, asking for letters of introduction at our State Capital. Neither Albert 1). Kich ardson nor Abby ever went to Indiana in my company at any time, nor for any purpose. I had nothing to w ith the suit for divorce, and was not asKeu ny any one 10 iiiicrierc iu u. I did not know the court in which it was to be commenced, having supposed it would be at Indianapolis. I was not present, was not a witness, and did not know what testimony was to be given, nor do I know the name of the .Judge who tried the case.” Mr. Colfax details at length the facts of his acquaintance with Mrs. Calhoun his efforts to j procure an official position for McFarland, and other connections with the case, and in answer to concluding interrogatories says: “When Hon. C. N. Fatten informed me that he had been appointed to take my deposition in the case, I told him that I hoped that in the questions submitted I should be asked in re gard to the point that I saw had been testified to in the habeas corpus case, that the nephew of Mrs. McFarland had testified that she told him, after she had met me at a dinner party in New York, that she was detained because she wislu d a private interview with me. and that she had to have such a private interview to avoid exciting jealously of that point, that I wished to be examined on that point, that I might answer under oath that I never met her privately in my life, and never saw her, except in the presence of others, and that not exceeding eight times in all, the seven or eight years since 1 first met her, and that she never asked, or desired, or intimated a wish to have a private interview with me ifnywhere or on any subject.” The American says the dwelling house, stable and outbuildings of Samuel Beckwith of Kllsworth, were burned on Monday eve ning. Mr. Beckwith was awakened by the smoke, and on examination found his stable and outbuildings all on fire. He had just time to escape with his family through a win dow, and save one bed. In the stable was a cow, horse, calf and colt, and they all per ished in the flames. There was an insurance of #1)00, on the buildings and furniture. The Whig says (’apt.

By the Western L'nton I.Inc-Offlces in Hemlee’s Building opposite the Post Office and at the State House.1 FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS. Washington, May 12. Senate. Mr. Carpenter’s aniendmeut re specting the act of January 2d, 1*70, rcla’ing to retired officers, and providing upon their own application for their assignment to duty, except service with troops, and as professor in in colleges, no compensation to be allowed during such service, except their actual ex penses and milage, was adopted. Mr. Sherman offered an amendment to al low retired army officers to hold civil offices, and rediculed the idea that the people of the l nited States were afraid of undue military intiueuce in their affairs by the election to office of retired army officers. lie knew an officer who had almost lost his life, and who was now breathing through one lung, and who would be honored by the people of Ohio with any office he would’ accept. Alter a long discussion between Messrs. Trumbull. Conkling, Sumner and Norton, the amendment was adopted, 34 to 21. Mr. Buckingham’s motion to strike out the section fixing the pay for each grade of offi cers was agreed to, 23 to 14; and Mr. Thur man’s to re-commit the hill was rejected. In to 21, and the bill was then reported to the Senate and passed. Motions to strike out the fir.st and eleventh sections were rejected. Adjourned. Hol se. The bill extending to the Colo rado provision of the pre-emption laws was passed. Mr. Schenek of Ohio, moved to go into Committee of the Whole on the Tariff hill. Mr. Wood of New York asked Mr. Schenek whether in view of the facts, that the bill had been three and one half months before the House, that only 21 pages out ot 50 had been disposed of; that it was now' late in the ses sion that many appropriation hills were un acted upon that there was many questions ot gnat importance yet undetermined; and even if the hill should pass the House, it could not possibly pass the Senate. He would let the hill either be recommitted or laid aside, so that the House could go to practical legisla tion. Mr. Schenek replied, that he was prepared at all times to an attempt at least, to duty w hich was as Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means to present it to the House, and endeavor to get action upon it. If the hill was fairly considered, and no amend ments were offered, except such as were sub stantia! m their character, and were offered in good faith, with a view to raise or lower the duties, he believed that they oould get through with the hill in the next three or four lavs easily, if they could reason from proba bilities. It was at least three-fourths finished. In point of time there were a great many members who did not intend for any tariff at all, and lie suggested these members might refrain from discussion or offering amend ments. and reserve themselves to vote against the bill as a whole. He insisted on his mo tion to go into Committee of the Whole which was done, and the paragraph on nickel was agreed to. Mr. Butler’s motion to include alunmium and its alleries in the paragraph relating to German silver, was agreed to. Mr. Cox of X. Y., ridiculed the idea of using such words a« alunmium and tentene giue. Mr. Butler who had not heard Mr. Cox distinctly in reference to the use of the word alunmium, asked what was his fault. Mr. Cox, your fault. I could not enumer ate your faults my dear Sir, if I were to keep speaking from now to eternity. I know that it is not a good answer, hut it is the way you answer me. Mr. Butler. Oh, it is a very good answer from you. (Laughter). The paragraph taxing old type was struck nut. and the duty on live animals was fixed at 50 per cent, ad valorum. with a proviso ad mitting free emmigrant teams not exceeding in- wagon and two animals for each family. Pending the discussion on the paragraph taxing oat meal 1 cent per pound, and Hour, wheat, rice, corn and buckwheat. 1-2 cent per pound, the Committee rose and the House took a recess.

At the expir ation of that time, however, 1 thought 1 commenced to experience slight relief, which encouraged me to persevere in its use, and now, at the expiration of four months, although I am an infirm old man, nearly 7S years of age, and consequently medicines cannot be expected to favorably affect rne as they otherwise would, I have found such unspeakable relief and permanent benefit from Air. Helinbold’s valuable discovery, that I feel I ought to publicly record the fact, as* an acknowledgement to him and a valuable suggestion to the public. Yours respectfully, D. M.

Dr. Uklmuold—Dear Sir: it is with much pleasure that 1 write you upon fads respecting mv sell'. 1 do uot kn t sccu your advertisement in “The Berkshire Courier” headed “Kidnevs.” I read it through and j thought I would try it. 1 pun-bused a bottle, but, mind you. had not much faith in it. Why should 1, when l had l*een trvmg so many tilings and cost me so inurh Well, 1 began taking it. and before I had takcu the llrst bottle 1 felt had: but i finished it and got another. By the time 1 took half of the second 1 still got worse (apparently). When I walked it j seemed as if my right kiduey was falling from its j place, and 1 felt really bad. 1 felt so, before 1 had finished the second, that 1 had made up tny mind it was of uo use trying any more—and ail this time; the “Buehu” was doing its work, but I did not j know it; so I gave it up ami went to Hartford on Saturday to set* one of tin* best doctors in the city. He said It was the neck of the bladder, and I should have to undergo an operation. He gave me med icine, and I went home quite downhearted. On .Sunday 1 was unable to go to church. 1 had not 1 taken any of his medicine, but on my return eontin- ned using the Buehu,” and in the afternoon 1 had it desire to make w ater, but could not. About one liotir alter this I tried again, with the same result; but the next time 1 took tlu? vessel it was the same j i* turning a faucet and stopping it off again. It if as so for three times, and the third time there was something came through the passage and struck (gainst the side of the vessel. 1 examined it, and it n the ugliest stone or gravel you ever saw, cov- •red over w ith little prices which collcted together. It looks the color of a mud turtle, and is as hard as it flint Bo you see the “Buehu” was doing its work although I was feeling so badly. I procured an other bottle thinking their might'be some more be hind. but since that has passed, which Is eight weeks ago last Sunday, 1 have been as well as ever I was in my life. 1 have the stone securely wr apped and those who have seen it in this place are sur prised. I cannot tell you all, hut this is a true story of my case, and you are welcome to make such use of my name as you think proper. I am pretty well known in Berkshire; also in Connecticut The ad vertbcmeiit saved me. Why not publish more? The Springfield Republican is a wide-spread paper.

IfRLMRoMv-Dear Sir: In regard to the question asked me as to my opinion about Bu rl, u. I would say 1 have used and sold the article in various forms for the past thirty years. I do not think there is any fflrm or preparation of it 1 have not used, or known lobe used, in the various diseases where such medicate agent would be indicated. You are aware, as well as myself, that it has been extensively employed in the various diseases of the bladder and kidneys, and the reputation it has ac quired, in my judgment, is warranted by the facts. 1 have seen and used, as lecture staled, every form of llurliu—the powdered leaves, tincture, fluid ex tracts—and I am not congnizant of any preparation of that plant at all equal to yours. Tw elve years’ experience ought, I think, to give me the right to jmige of its merits; and, without prejudice or par tiality. I give yours precedence over all others. 1 value your Budiu for its effects on patients. 1 have cured with it, and seen cured with it. more diseases of the bladder and kidnevs than I have ever seen cured with any other Buobu or any other proprietary compound of whatever name.

ITelmiiold, Druggist—Dear sir: I have been a sufferer for upwards of twentv years with gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during which time I have used various’medicinal preparations, and been under the treatment of the most eminent physicians, experiencing hut little relief. 1'laving seen your preparations extensively ad vertised. 1 consulted my family physical! in regard to using your Eqtraet.lluehu. I did this because 1 had used a1! kinds of adver tised remedies and had found them worthless, and some quite injurious; in fact. 1 despaired of ever getting well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to use your reinedv. As you advertised that it was composed of bueiiu, cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys ician as an excellent combination and with lus ad vice, alter an examination of the article and con sulting again with the druggist. 1 concluded to try it. I commenced to use it about eight months ago, at which time I vas confined to niv room. From the first bottle I was astonished at the ben eficial effect, and after using it three weeks was able to walk out. I felt much like writing to you a full statement of my ease at the time, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, and therefore cone laded to defer, and see it it would effect a perfect cure, know ing that it would be ot greater value to you and more satisfactory to me. I am now able to report that a cure is effected, after using the remedy for five months. 1 have not used ant now for three months, and feel as well in all respects ns I ever did. Your Ruchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic and invigoratorof the system. 1 do not mean to be without it whenever occasion may require its use qn such affections. M.
