, AN effort is being, made to organ
ize a movement on a comprehensive
plaito draw the stir Plus labor of the
cities into tlie rural districts bf the
old States (particularly the Middle),
where there, are ;hundreds of thou
sands of acres of unoccupied land,
some of which. is the richest on the
continent. There is no quel+tion
about the feasibility 'of subh
if the-. Proper men take hold of it, and
the : result would. be of the very.high
cst benefit to the settler and to the
State at large.. Here in Pennsylva-
nia the'amount of such land is cnor
mous. It lies in neglected richness
ulong the lines of ai the. railroads
traversing the , State, .and could be
made to yield crops which would cre
ate revenues of( fabulous value. In
addition to the agrieultqmlwlvafita
ges which would be derived from the
: cultivation of this land, the develop
iment of the mineral resources that
\
would attend its occupation would
\
add immenseti to the material
wealth- of the 'State, from whicb\ rev:
enues could be derived, liutof whch
industry wonld reap the latest re
. ward. Nothini could more op,
portune than a dwell direVted move
ment of this kind. The bulk of this
lind ought to lie sold at- very low
prices, while • there are very large
quantities of it unpatented which thy
State would have the right to Sell.
We cannot locate the leaders, of this
new enterprise, bnt , will watch With
interest whatever she • it may .as :
etune. That it is . highly practica,.
there is no doubt whatever. Near
to all markets, 'Contiguous tti• every
convenience an with facilities of
transportAion the unoccupied land .
. of the- old States ought to be the
most desirable on the continent for
settlement.
THE South wants money.' That's,
what she has gone into Congress for.
Some days since, we showed from
•
figures which a cotemporary had
compiled from the file's of the House
of .Repiesentatives, that • the , South
• demanded the sum Of $150,000.000.
There is no Way to reduce this mai:.
When it 'comes to an item for the .
- army or the navy, for the coast sur 7 .
yey, or for • printing, the South
. is
ready with anamendment to all such.
apropriation bills, to cut them down.
There is no time wasted in discuss'ng
such motionsthe motion to re - duce
is made and carried, and. that's
,the
end of it. • But, for. these Southern
claims,,the amount demanded is $l5O
- and this must stand. It
dare not .be 'reduced. On the con
trary, since these, "Claims" have
been put in and thus been embodied
in an appropriation bill, there has
been an addition proposedainounting
to $42,000,000 inure, all to cover
Southern, ,claims which makes the
amount thus d_emanded to pay South
ern claims, sine Congress assemblckl
$1:12,000,000 : And what -are' these
claims? The answer can only be
for losses sustained while resisting - .
the national authority--Hwhile giving
battle to the Union-armies, while de
. tying the Naitonal Government,
and traitorously endeavorirg to de
stroy the National Union. -had
there . been a Republican. Ilonse
\such `" claims " never would have
.-. been shovel into Congress, because .
the attotuist Co' collect - Such' fraudu
---..lent amounts would have been resist...
ed and defeated; v .
'The 'New., Jersey town meetings

IF TUE machinery of the Post Office :
for transmitting money;•orders and
regiatered -letters slibuld - suddenly
stop, the people may understand that
the Pemocratic House has . failed to
provide the money needed for that
service. Last 'ye:Li-there was danger
that this useful branch of the, postal
service inust _cease operationibit - ac
count of the lack of printed blanks.
That difficulty was temporarity tided
over; but the obstruction is again
met, The House Appropriations
Committee have deliberately lent
down the estimates of the Post Office
Department, and the money for print-.
ing the required , ,blaukS is nearly ex-
Iliaustec. -Meanwhile a, bill containing
,anappropriation of $35,000
the
this
purpose is pendingibetween the two
branches of CongreSs, and the Derito
: • -
cratic managera of , the House mani
ftst the utmost indifference to the
condition Of affairs: The fraudulent
practice of refusing appropriations
for the, maintenance of the-legitimate
service of the Goverdmenl is produc
ing exasperating results. The'House
Appropriations Committee are.point
ing with pride -to the fact that
they have cut down the Posttriaster-
General's estimates $3,257,398 ; but
the Country must needsnuffer
incon
venience from thiS dishonest course.
It, is not even poor economy ; it is an
attempt to-make political capital by
refusing to pay, expenses which arc
necessary and which must be paid at

Dn.
D ,m LEWIS assures the *ork
inginen in San Francisco that they
can reduce their living expenses to
very 10 figures. • Ile contends that
for a suth so ridiculously small that
'he does not dare to mention it better
living can lie had than can be found
at any hotel, so flo i r as perfut_ diges
tion, sweet breatili,'. health, strength
and _ : endurance a 6 concerned. He
went into a first class market the other
day, and pointing . tvome beef asked:
" What is that worth , per -pound? ".
" Two ci"nts," w./s • the reply. He
•pointed to the corresponding part - 9f a
sheep: "One ceat," -was the answer.
One pound of either piece stewed with
a few bits or slices of bread, within,
pinch of some of the flavoring herbs
will make a capit:d dinner for -two
men. Of course the - Workingmen ask
,if Dr. LEwis:ever lived in that way' , ?
`His answer is that he has lived in a
whose food costs.materialY more .
than it does there, and he lived as
well as he ever did at a hotel, on 50
to 55 cents a week, and indUlged in
not a little variety at that. With
these figures:on his sfa'.e, the medieal
Student, who professes he can board
himself in New York for '2O cents a
day, is convicted of extravaganceand
•
riotous living.
TUE new plan of. keeping the
Poineetcin students in order, propoun
dell at the -Alutivi 'dinner, is to put
evey one of them,upon matriculation,
under bonds to keep the peace Noth
' ino• has come of the late trouble mOre
imortifying than :this propositi(in.
K}utside of colleges men., are hou,nd
Ito keep the 'peace only . after they
iliave given sundent evidence- of an
ntention . to break it. The Princeton
Titan, if it Wadopted, will be based
upon the . presumptiun that young men
go. to the eollv,re intending to, be tur
bulent.and defiant of necessa`ty dis
cipline. It is doubtful whether bo'nds
to keep the peace would have ,much
effect in restraining those who are
likely to disregard the restraints of
decency, who arc lacking in self-re
spect, and who care - nothing for 'the,
\ mortification which they may occa
sion their fani s iliCs. However if the
\.'
experiment be necessary, let it by all
meaUS, hi; tried. Injuries to persons
and preperty might be atoned fur in
the only ay possible—by a pecuni
ary Mulct.
The Republu \ •an party is the sole
:hope, of the •cOuntry against the
grasping Southerri , elaimants and the.
reckless Northern \repudiationiSts.
It is the only bulwark against the
dangerous alliance of asSolld South
with the demagoguism of\the North.
The NatiOn is confronted today not
only With enormous demamiSupon.
its Treasury. but with wild and\law
jess movements which threaten 'the
u
foundations of public honor pit se,„
curit.y. There are signs and partents
in the political sky which fill thought
fulmen with deep concern, if not
wish grave alarm. The Republican
party is the one consecrative force
which - stands as a barrier and protc
tion.against these dangers. It never
had a more yital duty than that
which weSses upon it now, and its
true policy is to proclaim the lofty
cause which calls all true . men to its
support - andsay no ,more than nec
es's:llT of the idilferenees which em
barrass it, .
Tat: Democrats all over the country
are putting Seductively baited hooks
Under the noses -iaf the Nationals.
They are talking beaUtifully about
the life long devotion of the Democ
racy to the laboring man, and are
asking What is the use of going into
another party to:get what the Demo
crats,.will only be'too glad to give,
provided they lean gain posession.
No party has ever done the laborer
so much harm as-the Democracy, and
it is strange the intelligent working;
man- does not recognize the fact. -The
.bill now being urged by the Detnoc
racy in Congreqs. for a reduction of
44
•
the tariff so - that the labor of this
country limy be brought into com
petitiOn, with the pauper labor of the
oldworid, is another instance of4he
hoSti.4ty tif that party to the laboring
man. -

A new law of this State makes - it

- WASHINGTON, April 6.--State l gen,
ator Butterfield has been in the city
for several days on matters Connect
ed with the organization of the• cam
paign_in northwestern• Pennsylvania.
Ile gives 'a very satisfactory account
of the feeling amongst Republicans,
and' shows that every nan is prepar
ed to do his duty. At no time have
the republican voters of Pennsylva-,
nia had ainore important crisis to
meet. In addition to the-olection of
State officers and a Legislature to
select a Senator, they have a Bepub-
Bean representation in Congress,
which will help to give that party
restored ascendency in the, lower
branch, which will inevitably balost
in• the Senate • after the fourth of
March next. There is no doubt of a
gain; of two representatives in Ohio,
twe in,lndianna, one in Massachu
setts ;- also, others in New York,
Ndw Jersey ankMaryland. iThese,
in connection with other prospects
in the West and on the Pacific coda,
render it almost certain, with proper
exertloni l that the Republicans - will
control t e next House, and especi
ally with judicious nominations and
an active • campaign. Tim meeting
of the National and , Congressional
Committees, as indicated-: by the
views expressed, promised these re
sults, and it,is only neccessary for
Berhiblicans to stand to their colors
Undisturbed by the indifference on the
part of the administration to ;aid in
realizing all these expectations. The
reports brought hereby the Republi
can leaders:from Pennsylvania during
the past week have done, much to
strengthen the confidence of ,Repub
licans from'all parts of the ,Country.
The Demacrats in Congresiare in a
State of. utter bewilderfint. Their
control in tie • Hous . has clearly
demonstrated their imbecility • and
their unfitnesslo manage the affairs
of legialation. AlthOtigh there are
many important subjects of legisla
tion there is a probability of—the e
House dragging along until mid-sum- 1

. on',Sunday, says : " To-day
the hopeful' rumors which without,
apparent cause were current on Sat
urday • have take*. a more definite
form. It is said that an important
letter has been received from Berlin;
suggesting that concessions should
be made to avoid a European year:
Whether 'this is true or not, it is
pretty certain that Germany. is
abandoning her purely passive atti
tude. Russia has not requested Ger
many's good offices, but there is
reason to believe that she will gladly
accept them. Hopes for a congress
are reviving, and Gen. Ignatieff has
even _postponed his departure ifor
Constantinople so as to be able to
accompany - Tri ; fice Gortgchalthff
to Berlin as second, plenipotentiary
if the Congress meets. It is emphat
ically declared here that Prlnee
'Ghika, the Rohmanian Agent must
have misunderstotid Prince Gorts
chakoif, as the. latter never 'refused
to admit discussion on the Bessara
bian question. The Russian Cabinet
does not deny that - the Bessarabian
question involves European interests,
although it hasT not yet expressly
admitted it."
The Times correspondeiit of Buch
arest telegraphs that. Russian troops
in Bulgaria, Roumania, and South-
Western Russia are taking pp strate
gic positions, of which Pitesti, in
Romania, commanding the southern
debouchment of the Carpathian pass
es,iis the most salient.
Contracts have been made for the

Whcrnma it will be the work of
the smiling new silver dollar of the
natural order of things, certain it is
that the dawn of better times is
near. We see it, first, in the marked
ddcline is the price of living. 'Pro
visions can be bought now at prices
that ruled before'the war. Clothing'
is way down, anti shoe leather the
same. Rents have tumbled terrible
within the past two years, and a good
house, comfortable ana pleasantly lo
cated, can be rented in this city to-day
from one hundred 'dollars upward.
Truly this is a happy condition of
things. All that is needed now is
the awakening of 'our industries,
and even this is nearer than many.
people think. Tile signs of the times
tell us that money will be freer and
plentier this year than for many years
past. The money lenders are getting
a little more confidence in men, and
very soon capitalists will be looking
for safe investments. Factories will
be started, the idle mills will be . in
spired anew, furnace fires will be
- built, and gladness will be upon us
all, before we know it. There is some
thing in the shape of events' . that so
informs the careful observer. We
must practice strict. economy for a
season yet, but we believe that-before
next fall comes the bright beams of
prosperity will flood the land from
Maine to Texas.— TVilks-Barre Leader.
FRANCE seems determined to main
tain an attitude of strict neutrality
on the Eastern question. This is
wise, and it is a pity the other gov
ernments of Europe not immediately
interested do not follow her example.
It is certainly better for a people to
perserve in industy and to husband
thier resources, than to waste their
resources, paralyze their industries
and sacrifice thousands' of human
liyes to the grim, bloodthirsty mo.
lop of war. If the French are able
to preserve their present attitude,
.they; will benefit more by such a
course than flit conquerer in the war
which seems inevitable, even though
he sequin whole provinces in the
bloody strife.
THE policy of registering drinks
taken at public bars by the, Moitcr
bell-punch, as a basis for taxation for
public purposes, is steadily gaining
in popularity, and though ridiculed
when first introduced, is likely to be
gene - ray established. Wouldn't it be
a c-pital thing for some ingenious
fellow to ,invent an attachment to
this machine that would register the
nathe of the drinker, and stain it as
a part of the record of the establish
ment? Some of the side-door gentle
men known to such places would be
put to considerable inconvenience in
putting on a variety of disguises.

FtelltalNl STATION, Ipin. Apr ' ??, 1811.'
. . ,
Eamon REPonlrite : About three weeks
Since I started from Athens,, intending to
be absent about' a irei3k.or ten days on a
brief trip West—as Tar as Chicago; at
least.' I have extended my tour far be
yond the time, occisiened by unexpected
delays, detentions, etc. On myroute hem
I passed a few days in Central Illitthis;
and such weather - and such roads I never
before saw, in my life. It seemed as tho'
the wind would blow the very marrow
from one's bones. Mud l Talltabout mud
in 'Bradford countjr; why, oar people
have no conception of the genuine article.
The people of Illinois are too wise iu their
generation to even pretend at this time of
year 'to use a spring wagon ;• 'the. chief
traveling is wean dished on borselsek or
oil mules. I stop • $ at a little station in
Piatt county, and t, was necessary for ate
-to -go a distance bfbent three a•half
miles on some bus ne . My first thoffgh t
was to get ho rseani t
buggy forth° pur
pose, but f t $ 't way of traveling im- ,
practicable.' A - • ntleman offered me his
horse, but as it ha been some years since
I had been in the $ dle and I was totally
unaccustomed to ,iud navigation, I po
litely declined. I finally 'got an opportu-,
nity of riding in • r i iumber wagon driven
by four horses t•' within a-half mile of
my destination, a• d availed myself of it.
After a few Lou : of suffering the tors
moats of •ft lost so 1, I arrived at the de
-1 sinstspot.' One ' hole day's rest, how
ever, nerved me p for t making a wagon
journey of six ilea to a station on an
other road, but ' the man who was to
take me had but ono team lie did not ven
ture to add th weight of a wagon-box
sfais
to his wagon ; "eve went without that in
cumbrance. 'Pfhis credit, I should add
- 1
that I was given the post of honor, and
that was a seat on the reach, near the
hind axle. Wherever the mud had dried
it was as hard as if frozen. Some of the
time those dried humps would threaten
to scramthe boots off my feet; then I
would thoughtlessly straighten out my
limbs horizontally; which would bring
my feet directiy in front of the hind wheel,
when before I could Protect myself the

LETTER TROY HARRISBURG
HAItItIBDURCI, April 5, 1678
The new National party having author
ized the Chairman of its State Committee"
to run the machine for it, at least as far
as all preliminaries are concerned, 'that
gentleman has issued still another call for
a State Convention. The idea of being
first in the field, appears to hvae taken
entire possession of the head of the " un
known quantity" party, awl lie issues
his orders with as much care, facility and
grace as some military chieftain.
The last call of Chairman F. P. Dewees,
for the meeting of the Convention of the
National' party of Pennsylvania, was is=
sued at Pottsville, on Tuesday, the 2nd
lost, and• names the Bth of . 3lay, • at 11
o'clock A, 3t., as the time and Philadel
pluda the place. The call, Which is lengthy,
embodies instructions to members of the
new party how to secure representation
and urges active work to' insure success.
It will be remembered the Cony, ntion
of the admirers of - laborers and green
'backers was first called to meet on the sth
of June.
The Democrats then selected the 22nd
of May, and Pittsburg, as the time and
"place for their Convention. Mr. Dtwees;
who, It is 'alleged, does as lig A is told, by
Frank Hughes, a former .I4Mer of the
Democracy, next proclaimed that his
friends would assemble on the 15th of
I T
May. This day having been designs
by the Republican State Committee, f r
the meeting of the Convrution of: t t
Party, and the managefof the Nationals,
bound to be ahead of all competitors in
the race fot an early start, heralded their
last order from the Pottsville headquar
ters, as above instructed. As the third
time is said to be the charm, it is probable•
the business is now fixed.
the in • 'cations point unerringly to
the fact that the coming political cam
paign will be a protracted, exciting and
bitter one. In this connection it may be
stated' that some rather startling develop
ments were made at Scranton, on Abe 2nd'
lust, at the meeting= there, of the legisla
tive committee. to investigate the cause
and effects of the railroad or labor
_,riots
of last summer. z . . •
A miner-named Jono. 11. Powell testi
fied to the - existence there of a secret
organization known as the " Knights of
Labor," which, he said, were 18,001)
strongin and around Scranton. Toe oh-
ject of the order, be said, was the eleva
tion of labor, by legal and honorable
mons. It. was not a beneficiary, order,
but\ would help a brother in distress, and
was \ not for the purpose of aiding or en
.wing strikes. Tho • witness also
stated that be presumed there were lodges
throughout Demme county composed of
all clauses \ of workingmen,and in the'
lodge to which - be belonge there were
carpenters, \ mechanics, blacksmiths,
miners and mirukengineens. Now if these
lodges are'scatterell throughout the state,
and should take ahand in the coming po
'dial fight, their influence will no doubt
be felt, but which 4 the two greater
parties willhe the most Affected,
is one of the things " At lab can

are counted, if it can t" I
The Patriot, the cer of 'the
Democratic party, here, s morn
ing, in a' cordran editorial , article, fie-,

ally bitter, after denouncing their organi
zations as "stealthy, secret and corrird
ly," contains the following paragrap_h \
\i\"ln a• manifesto, issued by Mr. F tie
Deuees, Chairman of the. Eaentive
PeFgee of the -"National Party" of
lvania, changing the time for hold

secret lodges are to issue the delegates to

in Philadelphia. Such an organization is
not a political
,Tarty. .It is a conspiracy.
-It does not appeal to -publics opinion, but
seeks to control political affairs by the
secret machinery of its lodges."_
The editor. of- the Patriot, is evidently
alarmed and somewhat °lonised at - the
prospect of his party being injured by the
now secret societies, and ho takes time by
the forelock in thus warning the canter*
fled to look, out for breakers. Some allegi
ance, however, should be made for the
bad temper- displayed by the Patriot this
morning, when it is rememberedbow. the
Greenbackers or. Nationals went back on
the Democrats in the organization 'of; the
councils in this city, the other day. It is
a generally accepted fact that the honors
and emoulenta of (Alice enter. largely into
the calculations, f all politicum, and the
great unwashed Derneerat ward bum

this role. .•

National councilmen would not be allcieeb—'

didati for President, Cleirk, etc. It: i -
then perhaps, no very :
,violent preziempl
lion to infer that there filets may havej
formed a portion of the inspiration•of
the article above quoted fret°. -
• .This central Democratic 'organ, which
is the mcMth.piece of Senator, Wallace, is
also in a bad way about the 'Mariner in
which Gen. McCandles, Secretary. of in
ternal Affairs,. who is a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor, per
mits his.clerks to perforin their duties. It,
is charged by this paper .that two of these
clerks; l .'haver for some days been engaged
in preparing a false and garbled statement
of the votes of Senator Dill ou various
public questions during that gentleman's
servicelin the Legislature, with a view of
having the same printed as an electioneer
ing document."
The attention of Gen. McCandless is
thus publicly called Co the fast ." that his.
clerks are 'being paid by the state to get
up lying electioneering documents to be
used to the injury of an honorable com
petitor for the nomination be is seeking."
It will thus be seen that within as well as
without the Democratic camp, trouble is
brewing, while the leaders arc both alarm-
cd and vexedt thereat. Senator Wallace
and his folloggiers having ordained that
Dill shall bothe Democratic nominee, it
cis high treason for the clerk of " Bucky ".
31cOandless to 'serve their master in the
_way indicated, hence' orders have been
issued that thus kind of warfare must
cease. -
The Senate having taken a recess until
the 9th inst., from Thursday; the - 28th,
ult., is. not in session, this week; and the
House did not begin work uptil Tuesday
evening, consequently legislative business
has been a little dull. On Thuesday even
ing it was with difficulty a-bare mtorum
of members was secured, when twenty=
six bills were put through the formality
of first reading.. 'Among these was the
bill providing for a tax on all drinks sold,
and the collection of the same by means
of a bell punch.
In the House on Nednesday, Mr. Dick
ey rose to a privileged question, stating
in substance that the committee on rail
roads, had had Senate bill• No. 229, to pre t
ventd iscriminationlin carrying freights by
railroads, in their possession for ton days .
anJ that under the rules be would make
a motion to discharge the committee from
its further consideration: After several
suggestions - oy members in regard to the
matter, Speaker Meyer decided the. mo-•
tion out of order—that it was übt a Privil
eged question. I
' Mes.srs. Jackson of Mercer and. Dickey
appealed from the decision of the Speak
er, and Mr. Billingsley took the chair.
The `pecker (on the floor) argued that
this was nut included iu the , privileged
questions mentioned specifically in the
rules, which are motions for adjournment,
poStponement, commitment, the previous
question, amendment or reconsideration.
A number of members participated in
the discussion, for and against the point
of order,r wheir ? ..after nearly two hoirs
were thus consumed, on the question
"Shall the decision of the Chrir stand as
the judgment of the House?" the yeas
were-102 and the nays 6-1; andithe House
sustained the decision of the Speaker.
The consideration and final passage in
the House, on Wednesday, of an act fix-.
ing the compensation of members of the
General Assembly. and )the number, du
ties and compensation ofi the officers_ and
employees thereof, consumed a good, por
tion of both morning and afternoon ses
sions. While the bill was being-consid
ered• Mr. Myer (Speaker) moved to gO
into committee of the whole for general
amendments, which was agreed to.
Mr. Myer then moved to•reduce the sal
aries of memberp-te $BOO, whereupon Mr.
Quirk moved to amend still further to
make it $5OO per annum.
Mr. James opposed both the amend
ments, -because they Were not. really in
tended for true reform,
.but for the-pur
prise of killing. the bill, and, besides, he
did not think $l,OOO was one cent too
EMI
Mr. Myer defended his amendment aiid
said lie was sincere in his.purpose, and if
reform was intended by this hill ho hoped
the reform would-commence at the head.
Messrs. Foster and Gillett supported the
amendment of their colleague, , Mr. Myer,
but it, w ith several other amen= nts,were
lost, and the question recurred on the or
iginal bill as presented to the House, viz,
fixing the salary at $1 3 000.. A !number of
additional - amendments were then offered
and ; voted down, when the bill paSsed
finally—yeas 105, nays 45..
Members' salaries remain at $l,OOO
and officers' salaries are reduced about 2.1
per cent,. while the niimber of 'officers is
reduced about one-fifth. There is very
little probability of this bill passing the
Senate.
At, the session of the House on Thurs
day afternoon the railroad conTraittee,
after having very materially amended the
Senate freight discrimination bill, reported
it with a negative recommendation. On
motion of Mr. Dickey, who again rose to
a privileged question, the bill was recom
mitted to the committee on judiciary gen
eral. This committee held a meeting last,
evening to consider The bill, and_ this
morning it. was reported to the House
with an affirmative recommendation, ex
actly in the shape it had passed the Senate.
Among the bills that passed the House
finally, on ,Thursday afternoon, was an
act granting pensions to the surviving
soldiers of the Mexican war ; also an act
making an appropriation for the - payment
of gratuities to the soldiers of the war of
1812, of their widows, allowed under the
act of March 30; 1800, and the various
Supplements thereto.
During the two hours the House was- in
session this morning no business of Ani
l:penance was transacted. Adjourned un
til -Monday morning. CussEwAoci.

As many medical men (Students of mine) and'

acute and chronic diseases with eminent succers
and as I am the welknoWn discoverer of this roll,

Nearly forty years' careful investigation of Elec
trlial phenomena, combining an extensive practice
in - this and other large cities, including every
Chrase and form of acute and chronic diseases, and
onstantly lecturing to medical studenteand others,
has afforded into ample opportunities to put my dis
covery to the• severest tests, both for myself and
thousands of students. In all Its various forms, and'
the retains have been a complete_ sictory In the
moot' desperate cases after •all9)tber remedial
means had failed; and these facts have been testi
fied to by thousands of reliable persons In this and
other cities whose certificates I' now bold in my
possession.
-MY PROPOSITION TO ALL INTERESTED.
In view of the foregoing most Important facts, I
now propose to continuo my lectures, and Imparti
complete knowledge of my important discovery and
great experience In the therapeutic use of .Elec
rielty to all desiring a knowledge.
The full course:of lectures'and private instruc
tion, for both ladies and gentlemen, will embrace
- numerous most impoitant topics relative- to my
great discovery. , find Its developement as a reliable
