One of the old mistakes of the profession was to think that there were no other ways of curing dis- ease except those which had been handed down from former times. m It is not to be denied that the Doctors have done great things for the world. But when it comes right down to the real curing of disease, jt must be admitted that Brown's Iron Bitters has done enough to eafn the generous gratitude of this whole present generation, including the medical profession. There are no mysteries or secrets about the compounding of Brown's Iron Bit- ters. » This preparation of iron is the only preparation which will not in- jure teeth or stomach.

The Great Brookiyn Preacher Talks Avout the Iniquitics of the Pro- tectivelSystem—The Trib- ute Wrung from La- boring Men, New York Herald, After an old-fashioned noonday dinner, yesterday, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher threw himself into an arm-chair in his ploasant little study and talked right ahead to a Herald reporter upon the likelihood, in his opinion, that tariff reform would be the great question in the approaching presidential campaign. “I stood by the cradle when the repub lican party wasborn,” began Mr. Beecher. “1 have worked for its existence for yoars and yeors and years; I have been in all its vicissitudes, and I feel a profound interest in it—a historical interest in it. But it has always gone wrong on this subject; and now that all other questions are Iaid aside -for I think that it is im- pertinence to open the southern questions again—1 feel as if the republican party, if it expects a longer lease of power, has ot to meet the demand which has only just been made, but which_is going to swell louder and louder. In the first place, I don't think that the manufactur- ing states—the workingmen—are going to be, as they have been, in favcr of high protection, 1 think they are begin- ning to seo the illusion and the deception that is practiced upon them, which is & doublefold one. The stimulation of any form of manufacturing by an excessive tariff' instantly carries an amount of cap- ital into that very direction, which pro- duces n rivalry here at home. There are more iron furnaces than are necessary to supply the home demand for iron; there are more woolen factories than are neces- sary to supply the demand at home for woolen goods. It is the same with cot- ton, and it is coming to be the same with all the products of the farm. We are manufacturing more butter, more cheese, we are raising more beef and more hogs, than this country can consume or begin to consume, and it is therefore indispens- ably necessary that in some way or other wo should get a larger market for them. “‘But the wall that keeps men out on ed. | the one side keeps them out on the other. The tariff may primarily prevent the im- portation of goods manufactured abroad, Lut directlyandindirectly it also prevents | our sarrying our surplus goods into the markets of the worl In manufacturing the raw material, the staple elements, the interest on fixed capital, and so on, are incompressible—they remain about sta- tionary—and when this glutcomes there is but one wn{ in which they can contract, and that is by first knocking down the wages of their men, and if that creates a row, then the next thing is to shut up— shut the foundry, shut the manufactory —and in that way, if you take the receipts of the laboring men with all these deduc- tions, I don’t think that, on an average, they get any more than they do in Europe. And then you must add that the things for which he spends his money in this country have been stimulated in price, carried up for the sake of the mer- Do- | chant and the farmer (for they have an interest); so that when he comes to spend this money he buys less with it than he could by with the same sum in Europe, and I think the workingmen are getting this idea more and more thorouglfiy into their minds, I have held from the very beginning since I went into an aqive campaign on the subject of free trade, that while it is important that men in colleges and educated men should have right views on that subject, in so far as campaign policy is cencerned we have got to persuade the voters. All theories in the world are of no use if the laboring men who have got votes in their hands can not be made to see that it is their in- terest to have a low tariff. I think we are getting that beaten in more and more to the pnlfiic comprehension; and when you come to bring out the silent vote in the next campaign I should not be sur- prised at all 1f there were a change that would overwhelm politicians with sur. rise. 1f I could have my way, the: fore, my policy would be to let the demo- crats who control congress frame a judici- ous bill, not overdoing the reductions, and let the republican senate accept it and vote it, and that, so as far as the Tflxutiun of party is concerned, would, I think, be as conservative a step as the republican party could very well take,” ““Where would that place the party?” “‘What matter it? We all agree upon one thing, that as a practical measure the first step to be taken is to admit new material free, and the second is to have a sliding scale, year by year, until we have reduced the tariff to an absolute revenue basis. The moment you say ‘with incidental protecticn,” you are dead; you are gone; every single dro) of protection in the tariff is d poison. I wouldn't protect anything, 1 would make the tariff exclusively for re- venue. ‘Do you imagine the republican part will take the matter up il‘ll the lepfl.ll}; you suggest?” “No, I'm afraid the; 80 far as I can possibly bring any influ- once to bear 1 would urge the repub- licans to advocate a revenue reform, and save themselves in the near future by do- ing it." *‘And if they don't do that wat{" “Well, if they won't do that and go overboard I shall be very sorry; but 1 ain't going overboard with them.” *‘You mean that you will become a democrat!” ‘I certainly shall not help any candi- date in ths republican party by an advo- cacy or a seeming advocacy of protection, You know exactly how that would be, 1f 1 had any influence at all it would neces- sarily be adverse to those who upheld protection.” "B:'t would you go over to the demo- @ won't; but *‘If the democrats should come out for raw materials free and a sliding scale from year to year of reduction of the whole tariff—an even cut—if they should do that, the democratic party would come to my ground,” responded Mr, Beecher, with a smile. “‘But with me it is not a question of , although I have my affiliations. 1 am not a politician and my thought is purely and simply what is best for the country.” I have got no oftice to keep and none to solicit; ' I have got no g::.fin\ influence that I am afraid of ing. 1 staud as a spect.tor and look on,” _*‘Do you think the election of Car- lisle has defined the democratic ro-( honl,l?F improved the prospects of the *The election of Carlisle has had a de- gd:d‘hint:ll:mu, :lud & beneficial one. ut the democratic party is a peculiar institution, anulitdui atl e last year is no reason why it should do the same thing dm&:n It has ever been to take government, but has never willing to a single thing to show that it had conviction on any one peint.” “There aro thousands of republicans, Mr. Beecher, who think as you do on this question. What do you expect they will do if the democracy stands squarely on the issue of tariff reform?” “I think there are a vast number of men who have heretofore been republic- ans and would profer to vote with repub- licans, but who will certainly vote the democratic ticket in that event. The silent voters, I think, are increasing in number, I think the publication of this discussion in The Horald is an eye-opener. Tt is & good thing te agitate the question, The Herald is doing a great work just now, and 1 hope it won't get wearied in well doing. ‘ have heard a great many men speak of that interview with Mr. Low, for instance, and such a thing as that is very persunsive to men who are not committed to any party affiliations. Mr. Hewitt's speech last year in the house was a fine thing. Being himself a very heavy iron man, there could be no imputation $hat ho was making a special plea in his own interest. The speech was statesmanlike for the main part, and a good many things of that kind have happened and are happening. The ex- cossive amount of revenue we are getting in and don’t know what to do with is attracting attention more and more. As & romedy came that proposition which is more like the proposition of a drunken man than of a man in his senses, that we should take off the internal tax on whisky and tobacco 1n order to save the import at our ports. Consider how vast a number of temperance voters there are in this country, and how such a_thing as that would strike them. For Mr. Kelley to propose that was political insanity.” e —— The Handwriting of nent§ Men, New Yonrk.—The Spirit of 'I'he Times says: Dan Mace, the champion driver, who during the past twenty-five years piloted millions of dollars worth of horse- flesh to victory, and now holds forth at the Excelsior Stables, West 20th street, writes that he regards St. Jacobs Oil the greatest pain-cure in existence. ‘‘For man and _beast nothing equals it,” says the propriotor of the N, Y, Club Stables, Mr. C. M. Priest—as good a judge of horseflesh as ever stood in shoe leather. A s MUSIC IN THE AIR, “Queen Esther” in Denver—Prof. Segar 18 SmokedjOut by the Den: Denver News. + Ina musical sense, the execution of ‘‘Esther, the Beautiful Queen,” at the Academy last evening was a miserable failure; in a comedy sense it was a shining success; fnancially it did not pay ex- penses. False pretenses killed the show. It was advertised as an opera, but it is not an opera; the public was assured that it had been ‘newly revised and dramatized,” but it is the same old ‘oratorio of Esther” which has been worn threadhare by ama- tour Sunday-school choirs in all parts of the country; a number of good singers, including Miss Eewitt, Miss Mathews and Prof. Winter, were advertised to take leading parts, but they withdrew for one cause and another. Before the curtain was rung up, Mr. teau's body was first brought to the museum, a daring employe succeeded in eluding the watchman and cut off a small piece of flesh, which he has since exhibit- ed in alcohol. Repeated polishing and bleaching has given the skeleton the appearance of an ivory figure, and the few who have been allowed access to the room in which it ia stored pronounce it a creditable piece of anatomical work. Upon the occasion of Sergeant Mason’s recent visit to Washington he was invited to call at the museum and inspect the bones of the assassin who had caused him 80 much trouble. The visitor eyed the skeleton curiously, and could not refrain from shaking his fist and muttering ‘“‘Your bones caused a_heap of trouble in this land.” Other relics of the assassin which are preserved in the museum were shown the sergeant, and he expressed himself much gratified at finding his in- tended victim had been so safely secured. It will be useless for visitors to attempt to see the skeleton, as the museum authorities have been compelled to adopt, stringent rules against allowing strangers in the private room where it is kept. One of the first inquiries of the tourist, after climbing the steps leading into the museum proper, is for Guiteau’s skeleton, or anything that belonged to him, and hundreds are daily disappointed by the watchman's stereotyped answer. ‘‘There is nothing of the sort on exhibition, sir.” Tt is likely, however, that in the course of a few years the skeleton will be ex- hibited, after a properly secured case has been prepared for it. e — Do not be decerved; ask for and take only B.

THE WHITE STO; Sully's Stafl’ Officers n Accountofthe Affair ‘Which He Claims to be the Only True Une. HILLS;FIGHT, Pioneer Presa. Pormit me to correct some of the Mun- chausen statements 1ade by one W. E. Truax, who pretends to furnish you with a “few facts” regarding Gien. Sufiy's fight with the Indians at White Stone Hills on September 3, 1866. The only troops in Gen. Sully’s command were the Sixth Iowa cavalry, Col. Wilson commanding; the Second Nebraska cavalry, Col. Fur- nas commanding; a battery of four twelve-pounder mountain howitzers, and I have forgotten whether there were two companies of Seventh Iowa cavalry or not. 1 think not, however. There were no infantry along at any time with the expedition. The troops who guarded the camp and the wagon train were composed of one company of the Sixth Iowa and one company of the Second Nebraska cavalry, under command of Major Tenbrock. General Sully’s instruc- tions were to proceed up the Missouri river to a point where it had been determined that Gen. Sibley’s com- mand would strike the river, so as to co- operate with Gen. Sibley's command, and at thesame time head off any Indians it was expected would fall back in this Segar, the projector of the perpetration, clad in a c{nonp red night gown and a tinsel crowu, came to the footlights and announced that Prof. Winter had de- manded his pay—8&35, in advance, Prof. Winter was to take the part of King Ahashuerns, and Mr. Segar said that he wti.tulrl have to assume that character him- self. We are willing to exercise that charity which was made a mask for the per- formance in criticising the manner in which the oratorio was rendered. The instrumental music was furnished by one piano. The young lady who pounded the instrument did her level best to keep within hailing distance of the yocal ametuers, and if she failed most of the time it was not her fault. Mr. Segar, as King Ahashuerus, looked like the king ef clubs, and his singing and acting reminded the audience of the rela- tive unimportance of the nine spot ina e of ‘‘seven up.” Mr. Oastle, who essayed the role of High Priest, is a fine singer and he did his bestjto do justice to his part. But the ample cotton velvet robe in which he was lost made all efforts seem ridiculous. 1t swept about him like a fog around a libetry pole, and he reminded one pain- fully oF a section of barbed wire fence covered by a horse blanket in mourning. The funniest part of the show was the fifth act. The semi-chorus of Jewish boys and Persian meidens came on in this act to sing the praises of the king and queen, who are supposed to occupy seats on the throne. TKu pianist started in to play Old Hundred orsome equally solemn music when a lively march was required. Mr. Segar—King Ahshuerus—with all his kingly robes of red flannel and tin foil became nervous at this massacre of music and called Haman to the throne while ho picked his way, all crowned as he was, &x'ough the chorus down the steps into the orghestra to the piano stool, Once there he supplanted the pianist and thrummed out a march suitable to the oceasion. At the end of the sixth act he again went before the curtainand made a speech denouncing the press for throwing cold water on his enterprise and assuring the audience that if the show was kept up for a week the public wouid regard it a8 great outrage. Everybody present ssemed to coincide with this view. 1t is threatened that the performance will be repeated to-night. It is possible that the people who took part in last evening's fiasco may be willing to face an direction, and thus have the hostiles be- tween the two commands. OnGen. Sul- ly's arrival at Sioux City to take com- mand of this expedition, he found that there were neither mules, wagons nor forage on hand, and consequently the movement of the expedition was delayed full three weeks, as al! these articles had to be obtained from St. Louis. When the mules arrived they were a wild, un- broken lot of young animals, not fit for the work to be accomplished, and in con- sequence before, reaching { Fort Randall one-half of thent"hdd broken down and were rendered totally unserviceable. Gen. Sully, nothing daunted by the vari- ous mishaps he had to encofinter, took cattle out of the beef herd and yoked them to the wagons, and hastened as fast as oxen could travel to reach] the point on the upf)nr Missouri before Sibley’s forces could get there. But delays al- ready mentioned prevented, and we did not meet or hear of Gen. Sibley. Upon the arrival of the command at old Fort Pierre it became necessary to reorganize the expedition. This was done by leav- ing all the lame, sick and lazy; all ani- mals that had broken down, etc., and es- tablishing a depot at this point until the command. woull:i return. The general selected all the able-bodied men and horses, and with light loads in the wagons again started. We were all sick of the trip and sorely disgusted with the persons whose businees it was to have cverything in readiness at Sioux City upon the gen- eral's arrival at that point; and fully be- lieving that the expedition would be a failure, our spirits were anything but pleasant, At a point near where the Apple creek enters the Missouri river, Gen. Sully concluded it was useless to proceed further north, so he changed the direction of the expedition to the east, intending to move out towards the James river, about forty or fifty miles, then cir- cle around to the right and return to the depot at old Fort Pierre. On our first day’s march to the east, early in the morning, the scouts found an old Indian hid in some tall grass, who had been abandoned when Gen. Sib- ley’s troops chased them across the Missouri river. From him we learned all the particulars of Gen. Sib- ley’s skirmishes, and the movement and whereabouts of the Indians. Me told us that Gen. Sibley encamped at the mouth of Apple creek a few days before, but had started back for Minnesota; that a war party were sent to follow Sibley until he crossed the James river, when audience again, but few of those who saw the first performance will believe it. The singers deserve a better fate than to make a laughing stock of themselves. They have been given no suffieient oppor- tunity for rehearsal, and under existing circumstances they cannot do themselves Jjustice, As for the Home of the Friendless it doos not stand the shadow of a chance of gtfin' a cent out of the proceeds. The tal receipts last uight would not pay lorrmu‘q 1:{ the house, and it is quite oel that the attendence will be much lighter to-night. e — ura Bitters donot only distin. lufimldvu by their flavor nndynomnfin odor above all others ly used, but they are also a sure preventive for all diseases orig- inating from the digestive organs.

An improved French method was adopted for putting the bones in &;u. the vertebra> being by screws a pad, about an inch mp;nmux One of the most skillful anatomists in this coun- try superintended the operation, and m&t care was taken to see that none of bones wore carried off. When Gui- they returned to the main Indiam camp, and all recrossed the river and went east over Gen. Sibley's trail, and were en- camped about three day’s march out, killing there winter supply of buffalo meat, ete. Gen. Sully sent me with two companies of cavalry to visit the mouth of Apple creok, and see if I could find any signs of Gen. Sibley’s command hav- ing been there, so as to verify the state- ments made by an old Indian, I found Gen. Sibley's old camp, about five miles distant, and followed east on his trail ten or twelve mules, when I turned south and reported the facts to Gen. Sully. On our second day's march we encountered hundreds of fresh carcas- ses of buffalo that the Indians had killed within twenty-four hours. On the third day the numerous fresh carcasses of buf- o plainly indicated that we wera in the immediate vicinity of the hostile camp. Before luvinf"o:m on the third d':‘{ Gen. Sully di us Maj. House to take one battalion of the Sixth Iowa cavalry, and to proceed due north about four miles then to turn and travel the rest of the day in the direction the expedition would march, with instructions that if he struck any small parties of Indians to pitch in and clean them out; but should he meet with a camp or that he thought he could not successfully cope with, to send one of his half-breed runners down to the main column, and we would hurriedly move to his assistance. THF, FIONT, To be brief, we went into camp about 1 o'clock ; tents were pitched and the men had their dinner. About 3 o'clock the half-breed runner was seen approach- ing our camp at a very rapid pace. At once boots and saddles sounded, and be- fore twenty minutes had elapsed the en- tire command, excepting two companies of cavalry—the camp guard—wore gal- loping toward the Indian camp. As we neared the hostile camp, Gen, Sully di- rected me to tell Col. Wilson, command- ing the Sixth Iowa cavalry, to direct the head of his column to the left and join Major House's battalion, which could be seen in the distance, and who were on the opposite side of the camp ; and that as soon as he got there, dismount his command and open fire on the camp Col. Furnas, [commanding [the Second Nebraska cavalry, received the same in- structions, only he was to move to the right of the hostile camp. The battery of howitzers closed up the gap, and thus we had entirely surrounded the camp be- fore the Indians realized their situation, #0 suddenly were all our movements exe- cuted. Fire was opened at_once, but so close were our own men that we could not use the battery for fear of shooting them, The fire was tremendous for a small fight, and lasted 1or about half or three-fourths of an hour, when darkness settled on the fight and virtually ended it, although we had about 1,800 Indians corralled. The troops were in a most trying and complexed position. We had surrounded 1,800 Indians; it was perfectly dark; you could not see your hand at arm’s length; the whole command had to stand with their left hand holding their horses and a six shooter in the right hand, and eyes strained to get a shot at the Indians, who were slipping through our lines all during the night. In this perdicament we were forced to remain nfl night, ex- pecting every moment to have an arrow shot into us. When daylight came not a single live Indian was to be seen, they all making their escape during the dark- ness of the night, and it was during this time that our poor fellows met their death. We captured their entire camp, with all their ponies, dogs, teepes, and all the buffalo meat they had dried and prepared for their winter supply. We captured 1,100 Indian ponies. We went into camp on the battle field, and for two days we effectually destroyed every arti- cle that was of the least value or use to an Indian. Twenty-three enlisted men and one officer were killed; the number wounded I do not remember, but they were all mostly of a trifling character. Your correspondent states among his “facts” that Gen. Sully had a council with the head mex, etc. This isabsolute- ly false. There was nothing of the kind. He also says: ““The troops were driven nearly eleven miles,” etc. This is posi- tively false. His remarks about Capt. Bain, of the Second Nebraska cavalry, is is false is every particular, and his de- scription of the fight proves on its face that the fellow did not know what he was talking about. He speaks of the Indians driving the troops nearly eleven miles, and in the same breath states that ‘‘Gen. Sully, with his bodyguard, had surrounded the chiefs in council and taken them all prisoners.” 1 am fully satisfied from his statements that your correspondent, instead of be- ing in this fight, was left at Fort Pierre among the “sick, lame and lazy;"” for had he been with the command he must have known better, and that Col. Wilson was in command of the Sixth Iowa cavalry, and that Maj. House enly had the bat- talion for a special purpose on the day of the fight The fact that we captured their entire camp, with all its plunder, and the 1,100 ponies, clearly proves your correspondent’s statements all false. During the fight, just before it became very dark, Seventy-six Indians, men, women and children, came toward the battery, there being no fire at this point, surrendered themselves as prisoners, and sat down on the ground between the how- itzers 1n the battery and their caissons in the rears and these are the chiefs your correspondent states were surrounded by Sully’s body guard. A word about sky rockets. On the next morning after the fight, one of the surgeons with four men started back for the wagon train to get an ambulance and some stores. On their return they went astray, and not report- ing at dark, Gen. Sully instructed me to send up three rockets, signals for the doctor and his party with the'ambulance. These were all the rockets fired during the entire expedition, so the statement that sky rockets were fired every night for two weeks is false like all the rest of his statements. e — Horsford's Acid Phosphate, Unanimous Approval of Medical staff, Dr. T.

Turning to a Jour- nal reporter who was_standing near by, Mr. Eichler continued: *‘Thatis the first | time that such a case s this has happen- ed. These little girls are named Meiha and Janno Kniesler, and are aged re- -Pwfivaly five and six_years. They ar- rived on the steamer Rhein to day. It appears that their mother died some time ago, and their father shortly after deter- mined to come to this country. He secured through passage for himself and children to Nanticoke, Penn., where his aged mother resides. When about em- barking on board the Rhein he suddenly remembered that he had left his watch to be repaired and started off for it, leaving the little ones on board. In the mean- while the ship sailed and the father was left behind. We have received a cable dispatch from him, however, telling us to send the children on to their destination and stating that he will arrive by the next steamer. The little girls laughed and sang and did not appear to feel the absence of their father in the slightest degree. e s i For seven years Allen's Brain Food has atond the strongest test as to its merits in curing Nervousness, Nervous Debility and restoring lost powers to the (ienerative System, and, in no instance has it ever failed; test it. $1;6 for 85,—At druggists, Some Frogs Wanted a King.
