—One of the most notable charac
teristics of the progress of civilization
is the immense growth of national in
debtedness. The aggregate of these ob
ligations in 1714 was but $1,500,000,-
000. while it stood in 1880 at $24,500,-
000,000. Mr. Henry O. Adams, of
Baltimore has an elaborate and very
interesting and suggestive paper upon
the subject in the March number of
the International Review. He calls
attention to the faet that, while previ
ous to 1850 Great Britain alone of all
civilized nations knew the burden of a
great national debt, the phenomenon of
public debts is now almost universal.
The employment of governmental
credit as a means of raising revenues
is a comparatively modern method of
financiering, and the disposition to rely
upon it shows no signs of diminuation.

has generous installments of the serial
stories by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps and
Henry James, Jr., both of which are
sure to have wide reading without any
special urgency on the part of critics.
Perhaps the most noteworthy paper in
the number, and one that ought to be
read by every good American citizen
is the a Great Monopoly" by,
H. D. Lloyd, which gives an account
of the origin and growth of "The Stan
dard Oil Company," revealing the steps
by which, from insignificant beginnings,
a power has been grasped which is able
to purchase legislatures and courts,
and seems almost equal to defying the
authority of the government. This is
one of the articles that must be read.
Mr. Grant Allen, who is well known
as an English writer on philosophical
subjects, contributes an article on "The
Genesis of Genius" in reply to the
article by Mr. William James on
"Great Men, Great Thoughts, and the

petitions for and six against having
an election, but as new overseers have
been elected since the meeting, these
now go for naught. It is proposed to
publish petitions for and against hav
ing an election in the count; papers,
one of which can be clipped out and
signed by each overseer, and forwarded
to some responsible person or persons,
who will, if the number reaches the
requisite two-thirds of all the overseers
in the county, present them to Court,

county should know beforehand what
it is costing them to maintain their

Funding bill, the national banks of
New York and vicinity have deposited
about $12,000,000 in gold and legal
tenders with the Treasurer of the Uni
ted States for the purpose of with
drawing bonds held as security for an
equal amount of circulating notes.
The bouds will he forthwith surrender
ed to the bank 9, and the lawful money
substituted for them will be retained
by the Treasury to pay off the notes of
the banks as they come in for redemp
tion.
This course is taken in pursuance of
an act passed in 1874, previous to
which bonds held as security for cir
culation could be withdrawn only after
the circulation had actually been pre
sented and redeemed. The Senate Fun
ding bill repeals this act of 1874, and
restoves the law to its former condition.
The bank officeis allege that if the bill
passes they will thereafter be unable to
avail themselves of any favorable mar
ket tor the sale of their bonds, should

have to await the slow process, some
times lasting for years, of collecting

of the grand-daughter and heiress of

of the estate given to his daughter
and grandchild .-hare and share alike,
and in the case of the d ath of either
her share to become the property of
the survivor. The daughter, Mrs.
Jane B. Finley, is dead, and thus the
bulk of the estate would pass to the
granddaughter. A son of a second
wife of Mr. Finley seems to stand in
the way, however, and the contest of the
will is probable. Judge Neale, the
guardian, proposes to hold the proper
ty until the heiress becomes of age,
wbich determination is resisted by the
baroo. As to the personality of this
distinguished individual there is said
to l>e some doubt. Miss Finley met
him while traveling in Europe with a
certain Duchess of Hamilton, who may
or may not bo the Duchess(?) of the

for providing wealthy American girls
with worthless husbands. Some time

article claiming that Lord Linton was
not the name of the individual who
was traveling under it, and it is possi

An unerring and infallible method of
treating diseases discovered by I>r. 11.
S. George, the great Herb Doctor.
Cures no longer in doubt. Twenty
eight years' experience in the treat
ment of diseases with vegetable reme
dies has proven:
That Medicinal Roots and Herbs are
Nature's Only Medicines.
That these roots and Herbs are the
only Remedies that will relieve pain
and cure the disease at the same time
The Herb Remedies are the only
drugs whose medicinal properties can
not be changed by admixture with each
other.
That all pain is caused by obstruct
ed circulation of blood and relieved by
its restoration.
That n arly all diseases arise from
derangements of the digestive or elimi
nating organs ; and that all cures are
effected by restoring these organs to a
healthy condition, (consumption ex
cepted.)
SIOO reward will be paid to any pa
tient that Doctor George fails to cure
of any of the following named diseases,
viz:
Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sick Head
ache, Catarrh. Bronchitis, Consump
tion, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint,
Piles and Fistula, Bright's Disease and
other Disordersof the Kidneys, Gravel,
Dropsy, etc. Also, Diseases of the

case of failure. Diphtheria and Scar
let Fever quickly broken up and cured.
No case need prove fatal.
NO ITINERANT DOCTOR.
Dr. George came to Pittsburg for the
purpose of establishing the principal or
central office of his new system of Herb
Medicines and Laboratory for their
manufacture, as well as lor the regular
practice of his profession ,and, having
formed permanent business associations
with reputable and prominent citizens
of this city, the public may feel assured
that he is no more traveling doctor or
itinerand character, wandering around
from place to place, here to-day and off
to-morrow, but that he has located
here to stay, and to establish a fixed
and permanent headquarters, and urges
the closest investigation, and the op
portunities to prove to the satisfaction
of the people the superior merits of
his new system of medicines and meth
od of treating diseases; and that while
thousands are suffering with every
variety of chronic affections, hereto
fore incurable by the old and unsatis.
factory mode of treatment, this sure
means of relief is within their reach,
not only for the cure or every chronic
sufferer, where there is sutflcieui, con

his simple, safe aud reliable remedies,
but for the sure prevention of all chron
ic diseases by eradicating the cause of

known Dr. 11. S. George fur about five
years. I have known him to effect
cures in chronic cases where other emi
nent physicians had failed ; he effected
such a cure on your humble servant.
I was affected with a variety of Tetter,
which baffled the skill of ail I had em
ployed before hiin. I am now cured,
and can never forget Dr George for it.
He has always acted the part of an
honorable man in this community.

Ayer's
Hair
FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
IT is a most agreeable dressing, which
is at once harmless and effectual, for pre
serving the hair. It restores, with the
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray,
light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep
black, as may be desired. By its use thin
hair is thickened, and baldness often
though not always cured. It checks falling
of the hair immediately, and causea a new
growth in all cases where the glands arc
not decayed; while to brashy, weak, oi
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
•Hid strength, and renders it pliable.
The Vioor cleanses the scalp, cures and
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, it heals most if not all of th(
humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases of the scalp and
hair are impossible.
As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair
The Viook is incomparable. It is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will
not soil white cambric. It imparts an
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
article for the toilet it is economical and
unsurpassed in its excellence.
