He's tad .Vt.tHM) men engaged. The Prussians vere eonsiderahly more numerous. 1 he t norning was dull anti misty. At 1 o'clock y Xoxway and Saulny. On the east it is loundcd by a lower series of bluffs, on ivldeh stood the villages of Olgy and Mal ioy, but between them runs the Moselle, infringing considerably on the fiat ex panse just opposite Olgy, across the hot- f lorn at the narrowest point. Thus formed l lies a series of villages. There were Prussian troops in all these places. The dispositions detailed by the stall' officers had been substantially maintained. Ba zaine had laid his scheme with great art, under cover of a dense fog. He had made his disposition, with such advantages hat when he lifted Little Post, tit 1 o’clock, :hey were already complete. In the first instance he directed a strong issault on Lodonchamps. The landwehr imposts held the place as if they were one mndred thousand, instead of one hundred men, and the French sent their infantry swarming into it, while spurts of smoke were visible all round the valley. On the right front the batteries at Lemecourt were hard at work, and also others nearer the town, while the great guns in Frenecourt j were sending shells at low range right over Sodonchamps in among the advanc ing French. Then, on our left, the Am- j leauge, two other batteries vverd main taining a semi-cross fire, and from tbe bluff, on the other side of the Moselle, be tween Olgy and Malroy, the Prussian field artillery were roaring. me attack on i.,o(ioncnamps was a in version. Suddenly the villages ol' Grande mil l’etites Tapes, of Streney and Maxe, were overwhelmed bv a cataract of French men. The 69th landwehr would not fall _ jack as it should %ave done in common prudence, but stood up there in the street intil the French played upon it with their irtillery and rained ehassepot and mitrail leur bullets, and finally pushed backward the shattered remnants by dint of sheer numbers. The fusilier battalion of the 58th occupied Grande Etepes now, but the oc cupation consists of dead and wounded. The battalion would not give ground, and may be said to have been overwhelmed as it stood, the men being with their backs to the wall and their faces to the foe. Other battalions of the same regiment suffered horribly. So far, Bazaine had succeeded. He had occupied the chain ot villages in Athvvort valley, and had got a few batteries of artillery out on their front to reply to the Prussians force, but in statu ijuo lie neither wished nor could re main. The Prussian artillery throwing theirprojectilesfrom three sides of a paral lelogram interfered with the comfortable realization of the hitter's conception. As regarded the former, it seemed clear that Bazaine would not have done what he had if it did not contemplate something more. That something, 1 have not the remotest doubt, was a sortie to establish connec tion with Thinnville. Hi-tactics were well conceived. From Streniv and the Two Tapes lie kept the Prussian line engaged with musketry and artillery. He sent for ward from Grand Tapes great swarms of tirailleures, who fared extremely ill at the hands of the landwehr men but. besides this, lie massed a great body of men, near ly thirty thousand in all, on the banks of the Moselle, under cover of the houses at Maxe, and sent them forward to get through the Prussian environment where it was weakest, close to Koucn. The movement was a critical one. The landwehr had all been sent forward against the villages, with the exception of one brigade that was on the reserve but the 10th army corps had been crossing a pon toon bridge, and lnas-ing between the river and Amleauge. There General Vim Vnight was in command of operations in the rear, and gave the order for several regiments to advance—a sight never to be forgotten. First came the fusilecrs, ex tending at a rapid run into skirmishing or der, and covering the whole plain with their long thin lines, their dense columns of companies of grenadiers, bands playing,, and colors unfurled but all the work was not left for the infantry. The artillery en tered the village alone, and concentrated their lire on the French columns advancing along the Moselle. Bazaine is singularly weak in field ar- tillery, and the only reply came from the sullen sides of Mount St. dulien or from the ramparts of Fort St. Eloy; but mitra illeuses venomously sounded their angry whiz, compelling the skirmishers to recoil as they crossed the line of lire, and tearing the chasseurs, in front of solid masses oi which they were the fore-runners. Artil lery and skirmishers were enough for the French; dense masses staggered and broke, but when they had got stone and lime between them mid the Prussians, the French would go no further. The Prussian artillery tired on the vil lage, advancing closer and closer in alter nate order of batteries, with the precision and rapidity that could not have been ex ceeded in a dress parade. That obstinate battery in front ot Grand Tapes would not shut up, and the French trailleurs still lined the chausee and its front. By this time it was nearly 4 o’clock. A staff offi cer galloped along the front line with or ders for a general advance, to take the villages by storm. The advance was to insist of four brigades of the landwehr, ith two brigades ot the 10th army corps ipporting. In a few moments more the immand came sounding along the line, id the men spaing irom their coyer and ent forward with a steady, quick step, hells from the battery in front of Grand apes tore through the line. Metrailleuse ml ohassepot bullets poured against it icir leaden hail, but still the landwher lent and stern went steadily to the front, eneral Von llrondestern, commanding ic :3d brigade of the landwehr, was shot own, and several of his staff were ■olinded.

Jailg fumubrc gonnuiL A.TJ GU8TA. THURSDAY MORNING.OCT. 20,1870. PENNS VL VANIA. The Philadelphia Press has official re turns from most of the doubtful districts in Pennsylvania^ from which it gathers the ollowing facts: Hon. Ulysses .Mercur has been re-elected in the Thirteenth district by a reduced majority. Mr. Morrill, in thoSeventeenth, has been defeated by eioi en votes, but the discovery of Democratic frauds in Blair county will undoubtedly! overcome this meagre majority. Official i returns from all hut 1 ulton county, in the i Sixteenth district, re-elect lion. John. Cessna by a bare majority of seven. The j Twentieth district has undoubtedly been i carried by the Democracy, as have also the Twenty-first and the Twenty-fourth. Hon. William H. Armstrong, Republican, is undoubtedly elected in the Eighteenth district by a majority of some hundreds. Hon. Henry D. Foster has a majority ol 734 in the Twenty-first district. The next Legislature, according to our latest re- j turns,will stand: Senate, 17 Republicans, j 16 Democrats; House, ,r>6 Republicans, 44 j Democrats.

Secretary Robeson has issued an order j to cashier Commander Truxton, U. S. N.. commanding the U. S. sloop-of-war James town, now at Honolulu. Coromandel Truxton’s offence was landing a company of armed marines on Hawaiian soil, taking possession of the U. S. Consulate, and put- ting the flag at half-mast in consequence of the death of the Queen Dowager, j Truxton’s excuse for his conduct was that Consul Adamson refused to display the flag at half-mast. Adamson's excuse for the neglect was that he had not been offi cially notified of the death. The Depart ment, however, could not recognize Trux ton’s right to interfere, or to land marines on foreign soil, and hence his punishment. Consul Adamson has also been superseded. TX 0 VISION I* G FORT S V UTTER. Now that the war is over there is a disposi tion among some of the prominent actors to discuss and review its debatable features, and particularly the initiatory steps. The last contribution of this kind to our passing liter ature is an article in the November number ot the Galaxy, by Hon. Gideotn Welles, Secre- j tary of the Navy under Mr. Lincoln. It is a strange and Interesting story, and will not add to Mr. Seward’s reputation. It will be recol lected that Mr. Welles and Mr. Seward went into Mr. Lincoln’* cabinet together, and re mained there together while Mr. Lincoln lived, and continued in the same position as long a* Andrew Johnson was President, act- j inf in concert and sustaining him in liis j course. It seems a little unkind that Mr. j Welle* should turn upon his old companion of the Cabinet in this way, but that is a matter for him to settle with himself and con frere. The public only deal with the facts presented. The essential points of Mr. Welles’ article are in the following summary which we find in the Boston Advertiser. At the outset of Mr. Lincoln's term, among the multitude of perplexing questions w hiclt the anomalous condition of national affairs presented, none was more puzzling titan the crisis at Fort Sumter. The President and mostof the cabinet were in doubt; Mr. Sew ard questioned not only the practicability, but the expediency of relieving the garrison, and threw his weight in favor of evacuating j the fortress; and Mr. Blair was equally urgent in advising the re-enforcement ol Major An derson at any cost or sacrifice After days of indecision, after listening to the advice ol j General Scott and the veteran officers of the navy, after hearing a bold and well-matured! plan by which Captain Fox was willing to at- j tempt the perilous enterprise, President Lin coln on the 28th of March decided to semi supplies to the fort, and let the rebels take, if they, must, the responsibility of opening war. The Secretary of State objected in vain and the necessary orders for tlte expedition were issued by the President to the War and Navy departments, the Ueatu frigate Pow hatan being relied upon for the brunt of the service. Mr. Seward still continued, while the preparations were going on, in advice to divert the expedition to Fort Pickens, not then in imminent danger, and in suggestions that the South Carolina seceession authorities ought to be formally informed of the purpose j of the government. At this time Mr. Seward was holding irregular communications w it It the‘‘commissioners' of theConl'ederate States through Judge Campbell, of the Supreme Court. These diplomatic agents were assured that Sumter would be peacefully evacuated this assurance was repeated verbally again and again; on the "tit of April Mr. Seward’s closing words to them were: “Faith us to Sumter fully kept,—wait and sue.” But these pledges and understandings were all unknown to Mr. Welles, and, he thinks, un known to any other member of tlte adminis tration. Now comes the surprising part ot the story. On the 1st of April, appropriate day fur auch a performance,—the President in the coarse of the mass of routine business on i hand signed, without reading or knowing: their contents, various papers prepared un der the directions of Mr. Seward by Captain Meigs and Lieutenant Porter acting as cleik-. The effect of some of these documents was to revolutionize the Navy Department, to send away its best officers, and to place all its powers in the hands of Captain liarron, then an active secession agent in Washington an I afterwards a leading rebel officer, his Cun federate commission dating from the 2Gtli id March. On the urgent remonstrance of Mr. Welles, the President expressed his amaze ment at the eontenta of these documents, de claimed any such intentions, revoked the orders, and always spoke of the allair us "un fortunate." But other orders ‘‘extracted’ from the President on the same day, in the same way, diu not come to light until it was too late to revoke them, not being -ent to the Secretary of the Navy at all. These orders, all contersigned by Mr. Seward, were repre sented to the President as covering a secret; military and naval expedition to relieve l'ort Pickens, to be fitted out by the Secretary of State without the knowledge of tlie War and S avy departments but they really destroyed the Sumter expedition, by withdrawing from it the flagship Powhatan, detaching her com mander and putting Lieutenant Porter in his place, and sending tier off to the Gulf. At midnight on the (ith of April these strange doinga came to light in Washington, through a conflict of orders at the Brooklyn navy yard. Tito Freaklcnt, on getting iutormation as to the real result of his orders, informed pg, Seward that the Sumter project must on m account be interfered with, and per emptorily ordered, regardless of retnon itranecs from the Secretary of State, that the Powhatan should be restored to her ooiuman Inr. Telegrams for that purpose were sent 0 Hew Tack in hot haste in the small hours; rat the steamer had gone down the bay; and, though a tug was sent after her with tho des patch. Lieutenant Porter refused to consider a mere slip signed “Seward’ ns counter i manding his minute written orders bearing the President's autograph. So the lrigatc went to the Gulf, and the Fox plan was made I impracticable lor lack of force to carry it out: I (hough the supply-vessels were sent to I Charleston bar,official notice of tlicir coming I transmitted to the South Carolina authorities, and the bombardment and surrender went or as the world knows. But it was alter tin useless provision-ships bad sailed on a mission Strangled in its birth by the secret interfer ence of the Secretary of Stnle, that Mr. Seward wrote to the rebel agents with wliotn he had been in secret negotiation, “Faith as to Sumter fully kept,—“wait and see.” POLITICAL. Senator Thayer’s friends report that the re cent election in Nebraska settles bis re-elec tion to the Senate. The returns from sixty-one counties in Iowa give a Republican majority of thirty-one thou sand. The Cleveland Leader publishes returns on Ohio Slate ticket from sixty-five counties, showing a Republican majority of SI,4!'!), a gain of 8.5s0 on Hayes's majority for Gov ernor of last year. A dispatch trom Johnstown, Pa., says that frauds have been discovered in Blair and Huntington counties, which will much more than nullify Speer’s reported majority of nine votes for Congress in the Seventeenth Dis trict. and that Mr. Morrell, who is now ab sent, will be likely to contest the election. Mr. 11. D. Harrison, Chairman of the Re publican State Kxecutive Committee of Ohio, writes that he docs not give up Gen. Schen ck’s election. He thinks the official count will elect him. One poll in Butler county, which gave Campbell a large majority, was illegally organized, nml that fact can be prov ed. Tbe Philadelphia Press suggests the name of Judge Kelley for Chairman of the Com mittee of Ways and Means, in case Sehneek is not elected. GENERAL NEWS.

Montevideo is distracted by fac tions. While the Crown I’rinee of Prussia was watching one of the Paris balloons passing overhead, beyond the shots of his riflemen, he exclaimed to a member of his stall, point ing to the airy voyager, “Veil, Ileintz, how isli dat for high Isaiah 11. Arey of Boscawcn died a shock ing death. Un Friday he was shaking an apple tree with a pole, when suddenly the hook on the end of the pole came off, and dropping, struck him in tin; abdomen, caus ing an inward rupture which resulted in ter rible pains that continued until death. A city missionary was asked the cause of Ids poverty. “Principally,” said lie, with a twinkle in Ids eye, “because I have pu'uched so much without notes!” Hall's Journal says “If a man can sleep soundly, has a good appetite, with no un pleasant reminders after meals, the bodily habits being regular every day, be bad better let himself alone, whether lie is as big as a hogshead or as thin and dry us a fence rail." .•i.v.w.'.r.i tiox ox nit: other leg. The Detroit Free Press of the 12th has the following in relation to the seizure of the St. Clair Flats Canal by tlie Canadian Govern ment. Annexation it appears, is a game that two can play at. This time the hoot is on the the other leg: “There was a rumor current yesterday forenoon that the Canadian Gov ernment had taken formal possession of the St. Clair Flats Ship Canal, and the rumor was in the afternoon developed a sure fact. Mon day afternoon, acting under ordeis from the Government at Ottawa, the gunboat Prince Alfred arrived at the canal from Collingwood, having on board the lion. Mr. I.angevin, Min ister of public Works, and other Canadian officials and proceeded to take formal pos session of the works, hoisting the British flag as evidence of their earnestness. The Prince Alfred came down during the night, lying off Windsor, and yesterday morning the action 1st ken by the officials was telegraphed to the Ottawa government. So n at’ier the gun boat weighed anchor for the Flats, where she was stationed all day yesterday, her presence, and the flying British flag causing much won derment to mariners. Some ot the city offi cials of Windsor were of the party who went up yesterday, and titose officials left at home were greatly pleased over what they chose to cull “British pluck.” They argued that tlie Dominion Government would hold the canal until the question of ownership was fWTy and finally decided, and—perhaps it will. Then was any amount of excitement among ma rines and ship owners last evening, and every Yankee met with had his knapsack ready packed for call. The local effect will bet' cause much excitement, i nd it may be hard to restrain the impatience of our people uutii tlie question can be settled by diplomacy. A Washington despatch of Monday says Inquiry at the War Department to-day rela tive to tlie alleged seizure of tlie St. Claii Flats Canal by the Canadian authorities shows that tlie government l as received no infor mation in tlie matter, save through the de spatches published in tlie newspapers. Tin authorities here are now in telegraphic com munication with thut point, and will probably he* in possession of all tlie* facts by to-morrow The* hole tiling here is looked upon as sen sational, having little it any foundation. Our government has been at work on the canal for two years, and lias expended upon it 8;500, 000. General Humphreys, chief engineer, and Colonel Cram, who had charge of tin work, both ridicule the idea that the ranal is on tite Canadian side of the line. The com mission which established the boundary* fixed it through what is known as the old ship chan nel through the St. Clair Flats, and the liy drograpliers of the British navy have recog nizt d it in their charts. The new canal leaves tin* sliip channel below tlie mouth ot the St. Clair river, and runs towards tlie Michigan shore, and by all charts is four miles within United States territory. If tlie Canadian au thorities have seized this work, a full apology will be demanded of England. LETTER FROM WASlllXQTOS. Washington, Oct. 15th, IS'0. The city lias gradually become more lively as tbe cool weather comes on. Nearly all the clerks are back and the Departments are not so lonesome and dull as they were. The great men are also returned from their wan derings, and onee more to be seen in their official capacities. Autumn seems but just upon us with its yellow and crimson foliage, its delightfully cool air and clear sunny skies. People who intend to spend the winter here are securing accommodations, and among them is Thomas Hughes, the English author and member of Parliament, who wishes to witness with his own eyes the proceedings of our American Congress. The coming season will no doubt be a gay one. The President's family are back in the White House which lias been painted and renovated preparatory to the winter receptions. Poor Nellie Grant got so homesick at her hoarding school in Connecti cut that she had to come home. At last after many delays Pennsylvania Avenue is to be paved—and with wood too— by three or four different Companies, which will insure its being done speedily and well. Operations have already commenced, and by the time this reaches you will be well under way. Eouisana and Indiana Avenues, which 6tart from the front of the City Hall, are also to be immediately paved with wood. These improvements togetlier with the parkingof“K" and the paving of “M.” streets, will make a very material change for the better in the aspect of the city. Senator Warner of Alabama was in the city a short time since and appeared to be very hopeful of the State going strongly republican this fall. He thought there was no doubt of the election of Hon. H. W. Norris, formerly Land Agent of the State of Maine. Mr. Nor ris was a member of the 40th Congress but was not re-nominated to the present, the 41st Congress. -Mr. Archibald, one of the principal ship builders of this country, whose works and yard are at Chester. Pa., has lately returned from England and Scotland, which he visited on a tour of inspection in connection with his own business, and comes back with the con viction that he can build iron vessels as cheap ly as they can he built on the Clyde or any where else in Europe, and of a superior quali ty too for the same price. This lie intends to demonstrate, and thus cut the “Gordian Knot" which has been puzzling Mr. Lynch and our ship-owners so much. The way lie is going to do it is by employing labor saving machinery, and thus overcome the difference between the price of labor here and in Europe. It is rather a remarkable fact that in no country is macninery maue 10 pertorm so much labor as in the United States, whore we manufacture by it almost every conceivable tiling from watches up to steamships. Speaking of building iron vessels calls to mind an interview which several English gen tlemen had with Secretary Boutwell a few days since. After exchanging some ideas on various subjects, one of the Englishmen (a Member of Parliament, and a man of rather ordinary abilities) suggested the purchase of ships in Great Britain by our people, as they could build them so much cheaper than we. At this the usually reticent Secretary opened on the Britishers, and gave them a broadside by telling them squarely and honestly that the sentiment of the people of this country was decidedly opposed to hiring Englishmen to build our ships after England had treated this country in the shameful manner she had dur ing the war, and that they might depend upon it that sooner or later the people of this great and expanding country would wipe out the score against England; that the more speedi ly Englishmen and the British Government understood this and tried to secure the friend ship ot this country by settling the Alabama claims, the better it would lie for them; the people meant it, and would not be satisfied until they were on a level with England in shipping and everything else; that this mis chievous policy of England in reference to bel ligerents would eventually get her into sdrious difficulty. Prussia, the leading power of Europe was growling at her now for furnishing a few arms and supplies for Prance, a matter of very small moment compared with the devastation upon our shipping by English built rebel pri vateers. The members of Parliament tried to shirk the responsibility by saying that the fault was with the English Premier, who was at church when lie received notice that the Alabama was about to sail, and that lie would not leave church until the service* were over, when it was too late. Mr. Boutwell said that tliis would not excuse the English Govern ment, who must be held responsible for the action of any of it* officers. The remarks of the Secretary evidently impressed his visitors with the fact that our people have not forgot ten the treatment we met at the hands of their countrymen; and that at least one member of the Administration was not afraid to say so. The city is full of malaria and there are more cases of intermittent fever and ague than for many year*. The tick ones are praying for l'rost to come and purify the air. Chaxxino. LETTER FROM VIRGINIA. Riciimokd, Va., 10th rao., loth, 1870. To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal: Respected I iuend :—I forward you one o our morning papers, ns it contains the eulogiei of the l’ress upon Gen. Lee, whose body isti trrive in this city to-day and be interred witl "State Honors.” Houses are draped in dee] mourning, and places of business closed, witl olack crape attached to the doors. The star. nd stripes still wave at top-mast upon tin Custom House—being almost the only thing that would indicate nothing unusual had hap pened. “A greater than Washington has gone,” is a frequent expression. The unprecedented flood of late has roadi sad ravages and destruction of property, tin ntire length of the James. We hail no rail here at the time, it being all in the mountains, hence the people here were unprepared tc meet it. A large class of poor people living in small houses near the river are great suffer ers, losing all they had, and it is reported that about thirty lives are lost. Yesterday morning at an early hour I was within twelve milts of Norfolk and there was i white frost, the first we have had. The people in that section hail the first hard frost with delight, saying it is sure to kill the chills. “The fever and ague rages mightily disyear" is a common expression among the colored people in Norfolk county. A ride of nint miles on the Elizabeth River gave me a ehunci to admire its beauty, which excels almost ant one in Virginia. ll loons prooaote now we snail nave aiiuinci municipal election on the Sth proximo, but the democrats arc not agreed upon the subject yet. Judge Ciuizou lias ordered it it and some of that party are willing to abide by it, while others are determined to hold on to the offices and not risk an election. There is no doubt out the republicans will re-elect their ticket. The prospect is. Virginia will eventually be redeemed from the slavery of a set of imprac ticable loaiTers. My brief visit to Maine, visit ing your State Fair and other attendant pleas ures, afford me pleasant reflections. ‘‘How dear to my heart are the scenes of inv childhood, When fond recollection presents them to view; The orchard, the meadow, the deep tangled Wildwood, And every loved spot which my infancy knew." The poet has vividly described in theselincs the feelings of one visiting tire land of his nativity. Our schools are all doinggood service, with increasing interest on tire part of parents and pupils who arc making all partially, and some entirely self-supporting. The prospect is now, that we shall close our labors in their belialt next spring. The Freedmen as a whole class are steadi ly improving, bettering their own condition and the community in which they live. One thing is certain, a large portion of them are faithful, patient laborers under adverse cir cumstances, and with brighter prospects be fore them, would he second to no labor we have in the country.

There was a fire in Winterport recently which burned the dwelling house of Captain John Bulan, with most of his furniture. The origin of the fire is unknown. It was one of the oldest houses in the village, having been built in 1894. During the squall Tuesday, at about 1 o'clock, a shed about eighty feet long, belong ing to Denison Co., the paper manufactur ers, at Mechanic Falls, was blown down as flat, it is asserted, as if a smoothing iron had passed over it. The Machias Union says one of the busy places of that region is at the Marine Railway in Macliiasport. Mr. J. J.

Kailj Jumukc found. A HORRIBLE TALE. The Saginaw (Mich.) Republic says: “It bat been known for some time that a dirty, wretched old man lived outside the city, about a mile or so, in a filthy little cabin, en tirely alone, and that he was a hermit. No one ever went near him, for it was said that he was a magician. His only companion was a skeleton looking dog. lie came into the city sometimes to beg, and would piteously implore for money stating that he he was starving. Sometimes he would gather rags or scraps of paper and sell them. l'-very one supposed him to be wretchedly poor. lie had an evil look, and mothers would remove their children when they saw him coming. hie day last week, however, a child, the son it Mr. Abraham Skinner, went out alone to ti-n in the stream, and happened to wander on un til, before he knew it, lie came to the hovel ot the old man. At first he was frightened, hut seeing no one around lie plucked up couraue and went nearer. Everything was silent, lie went and peeped through a crack in the side of the hut. He almost screamed at what lie saw, for he beheld the old man bending over a bag of money that he was counting. There were other hags beside him containing large quantities of money. Mr. Skinner's son was so terrified that, when he attempted to move, he stumbled. Like lightning the old man rushed out and seized him. -'H i!'' lie screamed. “I’ve caught you. have l’? You saw me, did you 1 Well—now you'll pay tor it. And before the boy could say a word, the old monster, with an awful laugh, drew out a knife and (oh, horror!) cut the child s tongue out. Then he chopped off his fingers. ‘Now. he said, ‘now- you can go, for you you cun t teiL’ The poor boy ran ofTovercome with agony, and ran to his lathers‘s house only to fill them with consternation. lie could not spt a k to tell them.' He could not write for his fingers wc re cut. Still the poor boy, after efforts ot the most horrible pain, managed to tix a pencil between his bloody stumps of fingers and wrote the awful tale! A party was immediate ly organized and hastened to the miser s den. He was at the door as they approached, and fired a revolver sis times at them, wi unding two of their parly seriously. Mr. Skinner returned the fire, ami the agi o villain fell with a piercing jell, mortally wounded, ‘My money—my money. he moaned; *my beautiful money,* and he crawled to his bags of gold and sank upon them a corpse! Over §10,000 was discovered, which was presented to the poorhousc and other charitable institutions. The event will never be forgotten by our citizens. The child is slowly recovering.

In regard to the question asked me as to wy opinion about Bu rl,ti, 1 would say 1 have n» d and sold the article in various forms for the past tliirty years. I do not think there is any form or preparation of it I have not used, or known io be used, in the various diseases where such medical patent would be indicated. You are aware, as well as my sell, that it has been extensively employed in the various diseases ol the bladder and kidneys, and the reputation it has ac quired, in my judgment, is warranted by the facts. I have seen and used, as before stated, every form ol Buchu—the powdered leaves, tincture fluid ex tracts—ami I am not cognizant of anv preparation of that plant at all equal to yours. Twelve years’ experience ought. 1 think, to give me the right to judge of its merits, and, without prejudice or par tiality. 1 give you precedence over all others. 1 value vour Buchu for its effect on patients. I have cured with it, and seen cured w ith it, more diseases of the bladder and kidneys than 1 have ever seen cured with any other buchu or any other proprietary compound of whatever name. Respectfully yours, &c., GEO. II. KEYSER, M. 110 Wood St., Pittsburg, Pa. August 11.1S05. A Case of Twenty Years’ Standing. Philadelphia, Pa., June *25, lst»7. II. T. Helm hold, Druggist—I>f. ah Sik: I have been a sufferer for upwards of twenty 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 pji) sicians, experiencing but little relief. Having seen vour preparations extensively ad vertised, I consulted my family physieun in regard to using your Extract Buchu. 1 did this because 1 had used all kinds of adver tised remedies and had found them worthless, and some quite injurious; in fact, i despaired of ever getting well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It w as this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubeb* and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys ician as an excellent combination and w ith Ins ad vice, alter an examination of the article and con sulting agaiu with the druggist, I concluded to try it. 1 commenced to use it about eight months ago, at w hich tune 1 was coulined to my room. From fhe Hist bottle I was astonished at the ben oilcial effect, and alter using it three weeks was able to walk out. I lelt much like writing to you a full statement of my case .at the time, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, and therefore concluded to defer, and see it it would effect a perfect cure, knowing then it would be ol greater value to you and more satisfactory to me. I am now able to report that a cure is eflected, after using the remedy for live months. 1 have not used any now for three months, and leel as well in all respects as I ever did. Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic and invigorator of the system. do not mean to be without it w henever occasion j inav require its use iu such affections. M.
