"Tonics," "Appetizers," "Restorers," dr.c., that lead
the tippler on to dnmkenness and ruin, but are a true
Medicine, made from the native roots and herbs of Cali
fornia, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants. They are the
Great Blood Purifier and a Life-giving Principle, a Per.
feet Renovator and Invigorator of the System, carrying
oil all poisonous matter, and restoring the blood to a
healthy Fonditinn, enriching it, refreshing and invigorating
both mind and body. They are easy of administration,
prompt in their action, certain in their results, safe and
reliable in all forms of disease.
No Person can Italie these Bitters accord ,
ing to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their
bones are not destroyed by mineral poison mother means,
and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Headache, Pain
in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizzi
ness, So. Eructations of the Stomach, had Taste in the
Mouth, IliUnns Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart, In
flammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the Kid
neys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the off
springs of Dyspepsia. In those complaints it has no
equal, and one bottle will prove a better guarantee of its
merits than a lengthy advertisement.
For Female Complaints, in young or old, mar
ried nr single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the tom
of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence
that a marked improvement is soon perceptible.
For Inflammatory and Chronic Ithett—
matism and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bilious„ Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood:
Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have been most
successful. Such Diseases arc caused by Vitiated Blood,.
which is generally produced by derangement of the Di
6estive Orns.
They so re a Gentle Pttrgativo oat %veil as
a Tonle, posng also the peculiar merit of acting as
a power. agent insessi relieving Congestion lir Inflammation
of the Liver and Visceral Organs, and in Bilious Diseases.

hunches, Ring-worms, Scald-Head, Sore Eye., Erysipelas,
Itch, Scurfs, Disco'orations of the Skin, Humors and
Diseases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, are
literally dug up and carried out of the Sy3tetll in a short
time by the tv, of these Bitters. One bottle in suck
cases will convince the most incredulous of their curative
effects.
Cleanse, the Vitiated Blood whenever you
find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples,
Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it Mr
striteted and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is
foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood
pure. and the health of the system will follow.

Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the
system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed
and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist ; There
is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earth whose
body is exempt from the presence of worms. It is not

SPEECH OF SENATOR WILSON.
Delivered nt the Grant Meeting., Nett 'Work
(WY. Aprllll7lls.
I thank you fellow citizens of. New York
for this kind greeting and I have a favor to
ask of you and I trust you will unanimously
grant'it. I have a few plain words to say to
you tonight. I have but little time to utter
them in and I ask you to give me neither ap.
please, nor disapprobation, but listen to the
few words I have to say. lam a Republican
from conviction and by desire. I care more
for the Republican partyof the United States
titan I do for the interest, the aspirations, or
the ambitions ofany thousand men in America.
[Applause.] I labored from the year 1q36 to
the year 1856, 20 years, to bring into being a
great patriotic, libertylovtng organization
that should make the Republic of the United
Statute free and . [applause and voices "good."]
Sixteen years ago the Republican party was
brought into being. I religiously believe that
it came Into being bq lLeprayers, the labors b
and the noblest aspirations ofthe best portion
°lour country. (Applause.] I believe it was
brought into being to meet the needs of the
endangered country, and to carry out in
America the pri.v Idence of Almighty God.
[Applause, and cries of "Good."] And so
believing, front the time It was created to this
hour, I have never consdously uttered a word
or performed an act to drllot a man out of Its
ranks; and here to-night, whoever may leave
us, he will leave us against my whites and my
protestations, anti I ivou id, on my knees if 1
could do it, ask him to pause, come buck and
,tand with us, fight the battle of this year, and
go on with us in the triumphs of the future.
(Applause.] lam not here to tell you that
tile Republican party lea perfect organization.
It has In its ranks 3,600,00 D men. It has the
great masses of the noblest and purest and
best portion of our countrymen. It has some
men, of course, who are not all they should
be, and we know it ; hut, gentlemen, I would
not disrupt it because it is not perfect. I would
light on, work on, toll on, pray on, and make
it better, 11'1 couli, and make it worthy of Its
great history, and what I think is its great des
tination in the years to come. [applause.]
And, gentlemen, I would as soon go home
and disband the little church in the t':wn
where I live, of which my wife was a member
and I no unworthy one, because some Chris
thm minister proved false to his God, or some
poor mortal didn't live up to the professions
he had made.
Gentlemen, I speak to you to-nicht from the
deepest convictions, from the soul, and I ask
you who have stood with the Republican party
you who voted for that greatest character of
our century, Abraham Lincoln, [great ape
Watley], you who held up his hands, stood by
him, waded through blood for four years to
maintain your country and emancipate a race;
you who repudiated Andrew Johnson and
his treason and could not be bought by the
patronage of the. Government [applause] ; I
ask you who reelected Abraham Lincoln in
'64, wre v ri s wise men wrote letters up as late as
the second day of September of that year,
wishing to get him out and have a new can
didate because he could not be elected ; you
who stood by him, I ask you who voted for
the great soldier In '6B [applause], I ask you
who carried your country, the cause of liberty,
justice, humanity, Christian salvation in your
hearts. I ask you, one and all, to stand to
gether. You who have started for a new de
parture, come back. Coins back ; our ranks
shall be open to you. We will bid you work,
we will win another great victory and we
will rejoice together In the triumphs of our
cause. [Applause].
THE REFORM MEETING AGAIN.
Gentlemen there was a meeting here the
other night. I do nrt propose to say anything
unkind of the men engaged in it. Ido not
come here to imitate their example, to utter
reproachful words of old comrades, or utter
words of condemnation of a party with which
I have acted and whose measures I have sus•
tained; but, gentlemen, I want to notice kind•
ly a few of those remarks. We were told ns
a reason why that Convention Is called nt
Cincinnati, that the Republican party is under
control of the office-holders. Great God,
gentlemen. A party three and one-half mil
lion of men—strong men, independent men—
controlled by a few thousand beggardly office
holders? Why, gentlemen, you nor I never
saw a moment since we were born when of.
flee...holders were so Impudent in the market
as they are now, and why ? Why, gentlemen,
to be an office-holder is to be a beggar. The
offices of this country hardly pay adecent anti
respectable, living to • nineteen-twentieths of
the men holding offices.
Now look at the great professions. Look
at the lawyers, and remember the enormous
fees they receive. Look at the great mer
chants ; look at the men who build your rail
ways and telegraphs, and the men en
gaged in all the other great means, nowadays,
by which talent and character can find their
true action. It is these men—these mer•
chants, these mechanics, these builders of
railways and telegraphs, and planters of the
greardndustries of our time—it is these men,
and the great lawyers who build great houses,
have fine pictures and rich libraries—lf they
ever read them [laughter)—are not these the
men who have all the comforts and luxuries of
life ? And now, what about thege office.hol
dere ? 81,000 of them, out of about 60,000, are
poor, petty postmasters, 7,000 postmaster's
clerks, and 15,000 of these postmasters receive
has than $2OO a year saltily. [Laughter.]
Why, gentlemen, they talk about the Con
vention at Philadelphia as , a Convention of
office holders. Well, suppose we •say the
Cincinnati Convention is to be an cffice.seek
era' Convention. [Lauzhter.] But I will
not say it. [Laughter and cheers.] However,
you may think what you like about it. [Laugh
ter.] But this much Ido say, that the Na
tional Convention that will meet this year at
Philadelphia will have fewer ofbeediolders
and fewer members of Congress than any that
met for 30 years of 111.3 party in power. (Great
applause) And now, take this home and re
member it. Go to any section of the country
where there is little in the shape of Govern.
ment patronage,, end you find the Republican
party united and supporting the measures of
the Administration ' and almost unanimous
for President Grant. Go to the other see.
tions; look at New York, where you have
great patronage, and you have dissensions
and divisions. I tell you it is office-holding,
office.seeking, petty ambitions that are dis
turbing the unity of the Republican party and
that threaten disaster. (Applause.) But,
gentlemen, the great ideas, the policy and the
principles of the party, are wronger than the
party itself (applause), and you know it and
know it:
We were told another thing at the meeting
of which I have spoken, and I was sorry that
Mr. Trumbull made such declarations. Mr.
Trumbull is an old friend of mine; 1 have
honored and respected hint and I do not want
to say one unkind word about hint; but I
must say that hn made a speech here which
every man in the country who read it and is
a fair•minded man, instantly pronounced a
disingenuous speech. [Applause.] Lot's
look at it for a moment. Ho tells us we have
kept disabilities on men in the South. K ell,
gentlemen, I stood up alone in the Senate Ito.
publican caucus, and voted against putting
those, provisions in the Fourteenth Amend.
ment. [Applause.] I did not believe it was
politically wise to do it, and I have .been for
years In favor of letting everybody off, and
any man who behaves himself as a patriotic
and respectable man, and asks to have Wadi&
abilitlea removed, I will vote for removing
them. [Applause.] I will vote for remov-

ing the disabilities from John o.)Beckinridge
for, ever since the war has closed he behaved
himself like a lair-minded American citizen,
and I honor him for it. [Applause.]
MEM
=C!
THE AMNEITY QI3III3TION
Mr. Trumbull told us that one set of men
in the South were kept out of office ' and an
other kept in; now, gentlemen they have got
nearly twenty Rebel colonels,. and generals,
and men who served in the Rebel armies,
whose disabilities were removed, by us elect
ed to office, and they were elected, and Gen.
Grant In his message reeommi ndcd the re
moval of their disabilities to the House of Re
presentatives. and the House, by an almost
unanimous vote decided to remove them. It
came to the Senate, and Mr. Sumner proposed
to put in the bill a provision of civil rights,
so that when we removed disabilities and gave
'amni sty to the old slave masters, we should
give protection to the poor freedmen ; and .I
voted for it. and othenrcild so, and it was put
In the bill, and when it was in it the bill was
lost by a votesof 113 to 19, and Mr. Trumbull.
and Mr. Tipton, who propose logo to Cincin
nati for amnesty, they voted against amnesty,
and If they had voted for it It would have
passed the Senate of the United States. Now,
gentlemen, I, have another word on that point.
Mr. Trumbull knew very well that we have
been struggling to get through the 'House for
several weeks a Civil Rights bill, and we have
both civil rights and amnesty before the House
and have been working to put both bills
through, and I expect we will do It. [Ap
plause.] I will advert to one other matter.
Mr. Trumbull told tut be la going to Olneln.
nail to get Civil Service Retorm. Why, the
President of the Unitel States appointed a
Commitialon, at the head of which was your
eminent follow citizen, George Curtis. [Ap
plause.] That Commission has been sitting
for months. They riported a partial plan,
which did not work practically ; and now
they have agreed to a practical plan' to carry
out timae ideas of Civil Service Reform, and
to-day Gen. Grant has proclaimed them to the
country. [Cheers.]
These men tell you they will go to Cincin
nati for Civil Service Reform. I Bay to you
to night, that all through these three years
past the Departments nt Washington have
been struggling night and day to improve their
condition, and they have succeeded In doing
so, and never li d.we as good clerks or have
our offices in the city of Washington been as
well filled as they are tilled now. I.Applause.]
=3
But there is another matter about which Mr.
Trumbull told us. I want to call your mien.
tion to that, too. He told you it was contrary
to law for military men to discharge civil do.
ties. lam sorry that be told you that, for it is
not the tact. We did not pass any such law. We
haven law that will mit allow military men to
be appointed to civil offices, but we' have no
law to prevent men in the army from being de
tailed to civil duties. Mr. Trumbull coin.
plained that we have an army officer that
brought us the President's messages—[laugh
ter] —if he looked Into the history of the coun
try he would find that it was done before. The
first message ever sent to the Senatnof the
United States was on the 7th of August, 1789,
and it was borne by Major-Gen. Henry Knox.
[Cheers.] That officer carried one more mea
nie° from Gen. Washington to the Senate. He
was the President's companion (luring the
war, and perhaps his most intimate personal
friend. And when Gen. Jackson came in he
appointed Major Donalson'Secnetary. When
Abraham Lincoln came in he took John Hay,
an army officer, and detailed him for duty in
the White House. [ Applause.] But when
Andy Johnson came in [laughter] he filled the
White house with military men.
Gentlemen, Mr. Trumbull should know all
this ; and when a Senator of the United States
leaves his post at Washington, and goes up
and down the country speaking to the people,
he ought to understand whereof be speaka,and
be acquainted with the facts of history, and
know what be is talking about.
WHAT ANDY JOEINEION DID
In short, gentlemen, I never read a speech
so full of errors in the short space of a couple
of columns ns Mr. Trumbull's speech. lie
says or rather asks the question " If Andrew
Johnson filled the White House with office.
holders, military men, what would be said
about it?" He did. He appointed Col. More,
Col. Morrow, Col. Leer, Col. Reeves, Capt.
McKeesei, and Col. R. Johnson, his own re
lation, and they are officers of the army.
They set about posting guards in and around
the White House. When President Gr nt
came in they paid him a salute, and ho asked
what they meant? and the next day he sent
the troops away—the four companies of cav
alry and the regiment of infantry—and for
three years not a soldier has been nearer
Washington on duty than Fort Washington.
(Applause.)
Now, what is President Grant's great of
fence? He had three men on his staff during
the war, when he was Lieutenant General
and General. He was made President, and
they went on to Gen. Sherman's staff; and
they were detailed to go to the White House
and got no pay for it, and helped President
Gn nt to do his immense work, and that saves
so much to the public treasury. [Laughter.]
That is all there is about it. [Applause.] Now
toy Republican friends, do you think you
ought to retire to Cincinnati, because Presi.
dent Grant has got a couple of his aids at
Washington. Are the nwn who fought the
battles of their country dangerous men? (Ap
plause.) I find men nominating tickets and
trying to get the boys In gray to work for
them; they are not afraid of the men in gray
but they have a terrible horror of the men in
Dine [laughter], the men who fought for the
old flag. God bless the men in blue that
fought for the old flag. (Cheers.)
Senator Trumbull told you about the en
croaching assumptions of those In power. I
ant not a lawyer, Mr. Trumbull is. Ho is a
supporter of a Civil Rights bill which went
further than any other measure we pasted,
and he comes here and reproaches us for en
croaching and arbitrary power, because we
followed the Chairman of the House on Ju
diciary.
REPUBLICAN STEALING
But not content with that, he undertakes to
talk about corruption. Well now, I stand
here tonight, and say that if there is a man
on the face of the globe that despises a thief,T
am that man. [A.pplause.] amtlemen, in my
conception, the great Bose Thief—the greatest
thief of the universe—Bill Tweed [,pplause]
Is a cleverer sort of a man than that man that
joins the great Republican par , / with its holy
work and mission and then steals front the
men in the country who trusted him. I want
to tidy a word about this stealing : When An•
drew Johnson was in power the Republican
party told us to check this corruption and
what is the result? Gen. Grant'a'Admmis•
tration has arrested, has tried, has convicted
more thieves than all the Administrations of
this Government front 1789 down. [ Applause.]
Is there any man here tonight that can point
one to any Democratic thief that was over sent
to the Penitentiary ? [Applause.] I mean
a national Democratic thief. Gentlemen,there
have been 35 men tried, convicted and pun
ished by tines and imprisonment, and 278 for
undertaking to rob the United States Govern
ment, not holding offices. There has passed
through the Treasury Department, under the
care of Gen. Spinner—one of the noblest men
and one of the most faithful officers in the
country—t.oo,ooo,ooo,ooo, counted by 300 or
400 men and women daily, and what has been
lost? Why. from 00,000 to $60,000, that
has been stolen by four thieves, and every one
of them has'been tried and punished ; they
have tried and Bent to prison two of them since
you took off the covering of the Tammany
thieves in this city. I don't know that any of
your city thieves have got into the peniten.
tlary though. [Laughter. ] Gentlemen,' say
this, there has been a less percentage of the
money raised and expended under this Ad-.
ministration than underauy other. The per
centage Is less than one fifteenth of ono per
cent., and less than In any Administration
since 1820. [Applause.] EVerywhere, I tell
you here to-ntght, every department of this
Government has been engaged in that reform
atory work. I have done all I could to sits
lain them, and I don't. want to go to Cincin
nati—especially with some of the men that I
see are trying to get a chance to go to Cincin
nati or anywhere else In the world. I don't
want to go for the purpose of punishing
thieves. Then there is another thing, gentle
men, I want to say a word about.
SECRETARY ROBESON'S CASE
Now, gentlemen, I want to say in regard to
Secretary Robeson that Mr: Trumbull stated
what was not the facts of the case. That is all.
Now, I say right here that the facts aro not
what Mr. Trumbull stated them to be. He
stated them to be these: That a Board of
officers bad been appointed under law to ex
amine certain accounts, of having reported in
favor of paying slls,ooo.anfi then the accounts
had been opened, and $93,000, more paid.
That is not the fact. I will state now what
the fact is. A Board was appointed under the
law of 1867 to examine into damages—not
into work done, not into material furnished—
but into damages, and that board reported,and
reported $113,000 in a given case, and that
that should be in full fur what that board re
ported or. And that was paid, and at the
same time there was this claim, with other
claims, amounting to more than $93,000, and
this claim was examined and was paid, and
was passed by Mr. Brodhead of the Treasury
Department, and rightfully andiawfully paid:
It was never referred to a board at all, and the
law of 1867 was not connected with it; it didn't
mean this case It meant damages, and not
this class of claims. I believe that Mr. Robe
son is an honest and an upright man. [Ap
plause.] I know that in this case ho acted
according to law, both in examining the mat
ter and iu paying it. I have a written state
ment of the facts, which I have pre
pared.
ADMINISTRATION ECONOMY
Mr. Trumbull tells us that we can reduce
the expenses of tbe Government $50,000,000,
and the reason why we can't do It is this—that
the office-holders are so powerful. Now, Mr.
Trumbull has been 17 years In the Senate of
the United States. He Is en able man, but I
want to say to you here to-night that he has
never yet proposed any plan by which even
$1,000,000 could he saved. I Bay here fur
ther that 01 per cent of all our expenditures
are occasioned by the war. Take them out,
and the expenses of this Government,reckoned
by a gold standard, are lees, uccordiug to the
PePUlation of the country, than In toe Ad
ministration of James Bucearian ; Ices, large
ly leas, according to the population of coon.
try, and largely lees, according to the wealth,
than they were In 1858. I don't know where
we can count out a dollar today. "I tell you
here, we have reduced the expenses of the
Government nearly $100,000,000 in this Ad
ministration less than they were under Andy
Johnson's, and wo will reduce all expenses
wherever we can, and wo mean to continue
doing so, and I actually think wo are growing
mean in some eases, and short sighted, for. I
think there ought to be several millions of
dollars appropriated to furnish proper mater
ial for shipbuilding for the future of the coun
try. .And we are neglecting many of these
things that need aid now. Borne have given
an a reason for not going to the Philadelphia
Convention that it is to be controlled by of
fice•holdJra Now I say there is not a school
district In the United States that has not a
Republican majority ; I know there is riot one
in Massachusetts. [Laughter.]
WHAT PRESIDENT OItANT HAS DONE
And, gentlemen, I will tell you how these
men make mistakes. They forget that Gen.
Grant was at the head of a million of men ;
that fathers and mothers, and brothers and
kindred of these million heroes in the field
look to Gen. Grant ns the great leader in the
war, and are very grateful to him for It, and
they have not forgotten him. They remember
that he started without a name—a poor, un
known man, and against the competition of
two millions of men who went into the army,
and canto out at the head of it, and has a great
military record behind him. [Applause.]
And then they remember another thing. They
remember that he paid $315,000,000 of the Na.
tional debt In 37 months, and will continue to
pay from 10 to 15 per cent. of It a month.
[Applause.] They forget that he has made
your paper money worth 20 per cent. more
than when he mate in. They forget that he
has reduced the deb; at the rate of nearly
$100,000,000 a year. They ihrget that he has
adopted a humatie Indian policy that would
Immortalize any administration.. [Applause.]
They have forgotten the proud,grand position
of the country. They forget th.t we have
raised the national credit, so Hilt we can bor
row money at 5 per cent. abroad. They for
get that see have made a public sentiment by
l's firmness, so that a Democratic National
Convention dare not go into Tammany Hall,
nor into any ball, and proclaim the wicked
financial theories they announced here tour
years ago. [Applause.]
These men forget these things, and tell
that the masses of the people are sell.•rmq in
this country. It seems to be undeistood now
that the gentlemen are running away from
popular expression, chiding the people for not
sending delegates to the National Cony anon
for Gen. Grant. It doesn't appear that there
is a man in the State Convention yet opposed
to Grant. [Applause.] i hen, has never
been such unanimity in the world before.
They forget this, and what do they propose?
Why, they get together in Washington, and
put their little heads together [ laughter), and
.chaffer and dicker, and a Denoterat runs into
the Senate, and a Republican into tile Howe.
So at Washington they are putting the people
out of the question, and leaving. them out in
the cold. A few self-constituted and wise
leaders are fixed to lead them. Hendricks has
been to Washington, and Pendleton and Bel—
mont have been to Washington. We have
got these men all running toward Washington
—running away front the people. They don't
remember this thing—that the people of this
great country number 40,000,000, and that
they have been through One of the greatest
wars in the history r.t the world, and that
when the leaders faltered, and when news—
papers squawked [laughter] the people said
that they would fight it on that line to the
end ; saying, Take our eons, take our money,
take our blood ; we will fight, and we will
die for our country, but the country shall
live. [Applause.]
INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPERS
There were men who edited what they call
"Independent papers," and you know they
alw r ays say "we." "We" do E) and so. Now,
gentlemen, they have been instructing the
whole people, but each one of those people
now says "I:" There are men who read
thme great independent papers edited by
"wes, and are just as independent of tin
"wes" as the "wee" are of them. Those
"we" politicians have an idea, somehow or
other, that these things are to be fixed by
them. The way to fix things is to let every
thing alone. Let the "things" come right in
their natural channel, and keep yi ur hands MT.
Now, I say simply to nose gentlemen, give
up all this chaffering with Democratic leaders,
and come back into our ranks, and go ti
Philadelphia, if not as delegates, go as indi.
viduals, and give us your opinion. Anybody
has a right to'be a candidate to go to Pniladeli
phis. Anybody has a right to come if hi
pleases. Now, let them gu there. Let them
Bay what they please. Let the popular will
govern, and bon , to it. Let us carry this
country, remembering our great past work.
and convict and convert the Democratic par
ty of the United States. Let us defeat them !
I want to have full possession of the Democrat
is banners before I told up the Itepublican
flags. And 80, with all the sincerity of my
heart, I say to those gentlemen, it is a painful
thing to separate from any of our old friends.
I believe In having the grout masses with us.
and electing the best man. Come back to us.
Let us make up, and bow to the will of this
great American people. Take either nominee.
and stand upon either platform, and defend
what we have published, and if we have got
anything more to do for the rights of any Man
in thiscountry, let us do it bravely,• as we
have in the past. Now, gentlemen, Mr.
deb= made a prediction the other night.
He cloir.td with the prediction that their ban
ners would float over the dome of the Capi.
tol.
SENATOR WILSON PROPHESIES
And now I will make a prediction, and that
prediction is this : that if the nominees at Cin
cinnati• are not supported by the Democratic
party, they will not have an electoral vote in
the Union; but if they are supported by the
Democratic party, then we will carry from
25 to thirty States of the Union.
Glentlemen, I would Bay another thing—
though it might not be very modest—l have
looked into the faces of as many men in pub
lie meetings as any other man, iind 1 think I
have some little knowledze or public opinion
and public men. In 1860, 1 stated before the
election how the States would stand, and I
didn't miss one. In 1864 I missed one, and I
missed one in 1808, and that was the
State
. of New York. I didn't calculate;
I didn't fully comprehend the .counting
power of Tammany Hall. [Laughter.] Now,
the Republican party numbers 8,500,000
of voters, and 28 of the 37 States, on a
fair,-square, and honest vote, are republican,
too. If there is a combination at Cincinnati
—and I don't care on whom they make it—
we will take more Democratic votes than they
will take Republican votes. The nominees of
Philadelphia will be elected. [Applause.] I
make that prediction here to-night, and I say
to every man in America that my voice can
reach through the press, " Join hands, and let
each one of us do our whole duty. Let untie
as firm as the ' eternal hills,' and let its be
kind and conciliatory, and treat our erring
friends as erring friends,until after they choose
to take farewell of us and go away, and then.
gentlemen, they will be where the men who
have deserted us for the last 12 years have put
themselves—out of power, out of the control
of affairs, and proved false and recreant to
their own selves." [Applause.]
DOES 1T PAY TO DESTROYNOLE 't
Editor of Bucks County Intelligencer:—l was
struck with the absurdity of the So'chary Far
mers' Club,of January 27, advertising a mole
trap. I have no doubt but what it was a very
efficient machine in destroying these animals ;
but It should be a serious question for a farmer
to consider whether be can afford to buy one
oven nt the low price of three dollars that is.
capable of killing seven of the species a day.
There aro two species of this animal common
to this State—the Shrew and the Star mole,
the latter found only among small streams,
and arc wonderfully rapid in their motions in
water. The Shrew mole is the ono some
farmers look upon In the light of an enemy,
but, as I believe, In ignorance of his true char
acter. In reality ho is the farmer's very good
little friend, and as such, far from meriting
outlawry or death at his hands. Twenty-five
years ago I commenced farming for myself,
and was much annoyed with moles in my
cornfield immediately after it was planted. In
spots it was literally undermined. I was told
how to construct mole traps that were effectu
al in catching them. But an aunt visiting our
house during my raid on these underground
workers told me I was doing wrong ; that the
mole was in no sense a vegetarian ; that she
had caught several in her garden and dissect.
ed them, and had always found their stomachs
filled with insects or their larvae, and rec
commended me to experiment in the same
way. I did so inn number of cases, and In
every instance found their stomachs filled
with the larvae of the black ant ; and I was

were batdest at work on my corn • there the
reeks were most troublesome. Since then I
have never made s mole trap, and bavo really

forgotten'how ; and I am thoroughly convinc
ed that it would be better for humanity, as
well as the moles, it It was and would forever
remain ono of the Lost Arts. The war against
insectivorous birds has been so unrelentingly
waged that our fields and few remaining for
ests are nearly depopulated, and it is most un
wise after this annihilation of insect-destroyers
above , ground that we should delve into the
earth and destroy every animal of the kind
there.
It is true moles sometimes run under hills
of corn nod rows of peas; but every farmer
and gardener has had experience that so far
from eating these vegetables he has often
noticed that they come up in a very scattered
manner, showing that they were displaced,
not eaten. The question is easily answered
why moles thus displace them ; most seeds,
and particularly Indian corn and peas,
nre supplied with albumin and something
similar to the yolk ofan egg ;at the base of
each germ, which,
when brought into contact
with moisture and oxygen, causes these sub
stances to be converted into anger to nourish
the emhyro plant, and hence ants and other
insects deposit° larvae at convenient distances
to be fed on these juices, and thus rob the
plant ; but just at this interesting period the
mole comes forward and with his acute
power ocscenting his game and peculiarly
constructed proboscis, laps up the ant and
others of the insect tribe as on epicure would
the viands of a professional cook. It is a
crying shame that man should so misunder
stand his beneficent mission as to go, with
malice prepense, armed with the influence of
a farmers' club and a tbreo.dollar mole trap
in a raid upon Iris life. It is one of those
questions that can be settled without much
argument. The dissecting knife, in the bands
of any adult of common understanding, re
veals facts that are positive enough to convince
the most skeptical. I invite all who invent,
or use mole traps to find a single specimen
of the Shrew mole on or in the earth that has
breakfasted, dined, or supped, either wholly
or partially on vegetables, and for every such
specimen I can promise safely to do almost
any impossible thing. The fact is, naturalists,
In order to study more closely ie habits of
moles, catch them, and in confinement are
necessitated to teed them only animal food,
arid Godman says "neither species shoW any
willingness to eat vegetable matter." When
a farm r Minks the moles are doing him more
harm than good he can easily stop their mis
chief by ploughing moderately deep furrows
between his rows of corn, when they will con
struct their galleries so low down as to do no
harm, or by persistently tramping them down
in gardens. They are always more active early
in morning, at noon and at night. In fact a
gallery not previously abandoned, if trampled
down at ten o'clock in the day, is almost sure
to be repaired at precisely twelve o'clock, m.
'Phe past winter has been unusually severe on
the moles. The seem to delight occasionally
in coming from their subterranean abcdea
to the outer surface of the earth, not, I fancy,
to make observations, as an animal with an
eye not half as big as a pin head is preclud
ed from picturesque viewsof nature, but most
probably for air and sunshine. The frozen
ground debars them from reentering it only
,by the way they came out. I have picked
up several on my own premises, and no
ticed more while riding along the roads—
their noses badly lacerated in vain attempts
to get througldthe frozen ground. A. M.
—Attleboro', _March 25, 1872.
A writer in a New York paper suggests the
idea of spring and autumn flower shows be
ing held in the Central Park on the same
scale and conducted in the same way as those
in the parks of London and other European
cities. The suggestion Is a good one, and
might with much pleasure and advantage be
carried out in all the principal cities of the
country, our own included.
THE following original poem by Orpheus C:
Kerr (Mr. Newell) appeared in the S'milbus,
it neat little paper, published for the benefit of
the llommpathic Fair, now being held in New
