VEGETINE.
Her Own Words.
Baltimore, MD.,Feb. 13, 1877.
Mr. H. R. Stevens.
Dear Sir—Since several years I have
got a sore and very painful foot. I had
some physicians, but they couldn't cure
me. Now I have heard of your Vtgetine
fiom a lady who was sick for a long time,
and became all well from your Vegetine,
and I went and bought me one bottle of
Vtgetine | and after I had U6ed one bottle
the pains left me, and it began to heal,
and then I bought one other bottle, and
so I take it yet. I thank God for this
remedy and yourself; and wishing every
sufferer may pav attention to It. It is a
blessing for health.
Mrs. C. KRABE,
638 West Baltimore street.
VEGETINE.
Safe and Sure.
Mr. H. R. Stevens.
In 1872 your Vegetine was recommend-
ed to me, and, yielding to the persuasions
of a friend, I consented to try it. At the
time i was suffering from general debili-
ty and nervous prostration,superinduced
by overwork and irregular habits. Its
wonderful strengthening and curative
properties seemed to affect my debilitated
system from the fiist dose; and under its
persistent ube I rapidly recovered, gain-
ing more than vsual health and good
feeling. Since then I have not hesitated
to give Vegetine my most unqualified in-
dorsement, aB being a safe, sure and pow-
erful agent in promoting health and re-
storing the wasted system to new life and
energy. Vegetine is the only medicine I
use; and as long as I live I never expect
to find a better. Yours truly,
W. H. CLARK,
120 Monterey st., Alleghany, Pa.
VEGETINE.
The Best Spring Medicine.
Charlestown.
H. R. Stevens.
Dear Sir—This is to certify that I have
used your ''Blood Preparation" in my
family for several years, and that for
Scrofula or Cankerous Humors or Rheu-
matic affections it cannot be excelled;
and a blood purifier and spring medicine
it is the best thing I have ever used and I
have used almost eveiy thing. I can cheer-
fully recommend it to any one in need of
such a medicine. Yours respectfully
Mrs. M. A. DINSMORE,
19 Russell Street.
VEGETINE.
What is Needed.
Boston, Feb. 13. 1871.
H. R. Stevens.
Dear Sir— About one year since I found
myself in a feeble condition from general
debility. Vegetine was strongly recom-
mended to rtre by a friend who had been
much benefited by its use. I procured the
article, and, after using several bottles,
was restored to health, and discontinued
its use. I feel confident that there is no
medicine superio to it for those complaints
for which it is especially prepared, and
would cheerfully recommend it to those
who feel that they need something to re-
store them to perfect health.
Respectfully youts,
U. L. PETTENGILL,
Firm of S. M. Pettengill & Co.,
No. 10, State Street, Boston.
VEGETINE.
All Have Obtained Relief.
South Berwick, Me., Jan. 17, 1872.
H. R. Stevens.
Dear Sir—I have had dyspepsia in its
worst form for the last ten years, and have
taken hundreds of dollars' worth of medi-
cines without obtaining any relief. In
September last I commenced taking the
Vegetine. since which time my health has
steadily improved. My food digests well,
and I have gained fifteen pounds of flesh.
There are several others in this place
taking Vegetine, and all have obtained
relief. Yours truly,-
THOMAS E. MOORE,
Overseer Card Room, Portsmouth Co.'s

Dallas Herald Press Dispatch.
London, Feb. 15.—The latest re-
ports represent the Russians as hav-
ing renewed the march on Gallipoli.
The Times' correspondent at Pera
says it is hoped that as the British
fleet will stop short at Princes It-
lands the Russians will not occupy
Constantinople.
The Times' Vienna correspondent
hints that the Russians may content
themselves with a modification,
which would bring them near to the
Bosphorus and Dardanelles, and
might allow them to occupy the forts
situated thereon. It is believed that
if Russia takes this course it will be
in consequence of the moderating
consuls of Germany.
A dispatch to the Reuter from
Constantinople, dated February 14,
says: The British fleet is exfected
to enter the Bosphorus to-morrow.
One ot the ships struck a sand bank,
sustaining slight damages.
Mr. Layard, British ambassador,
has telegraphed Lord Derby that the
S iltan has received a dispatch from
t le czar stating that his troops would
occupy the neighborhood of Con-
stantinople in a friendly spirit, and
with the same object—for the pro-
tection of his subjects—as the British
fleet was sent.
The report that the cabinet has
decided upon the departure of the
Sultan for Barussa, in Anatoba, ">7
miles from Constantinople, in the
event of the Russians entering the
capital, is untrue. The Sultan will
remain in Constantinople in any
event.
Another Reuter dispatch from
Constantinople, dated to-day, says:
Vice Admiral Hornby's flagship, the
Alexandria, 12 guns and 9,422 tons;
the Temerarc, 8 guns, 8,412 tons;
Sultan, 12 guns, 9,282 tons; Achil-
les, 16 guns, 9,694 tons, arrived off
Princes Island at eight o'clock this
morning. The Agincourt, 17 guns,
1^,627 tons, and Swift Sure, 14 guns,
6,660 tons, remain at (xallipoli. The
Raleigh, 22 guns, 5,200 tons; Hot-
spur (iron ram), 3 guns, 4,iox tons;
Ruby, 12 guns, 4,863 tons, are at
Bessika bay.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg
to-day to the Reuters says: There
is great anxiety here, particularly
among the English residents, on ac-
count of the circumstances. The
Russian national feeling is becoming
excited.
This morning's Times says the
significance of sending the fleet to
Constantinople is even greater than
its immediate importance, and a very
powerful force is notv in a position
to maintain our interests on the Bos-
phorous and Dardanelles. The Times
hopes Russia will admit the force of
Lord Derby's protest, and will not
form perfectly sentimental motives,
and order Russian troops to take up
a menancing position, which, it says
is wholly unnecessary for the protec-
tion ot their real iriteiests.
• The Reuter's have dispatches from
Athens saying that information has
been received there, that the Italian
frigate, Terrible, was wrecked near
Salonica last week. The Terrible
was an iron-clad of 2,900 tons, and
carried six twelve-ton guns.
Advices from Athens, received
yesterday by Greek merchants in
London, announces that in conse
quencc of the recent massacres in the
Greek provinces of Turkey, and the
entrance of the British fleet into the
Dardanelles, the Greek government
feel themselves justified in re-occu-
pying Thessaly and Epirus.
General Grivassiss is to take com-
mand in Western Greece, and Col.

A Reuter telegram from Athens
says mfoimation from Crete says the
General Assembly has renewed its
declaration of the annexation of the
island of Greece, The insurgents
have gone to Vantor to attack the
Turks. Artillery left Canca tore-in-
force the garrison of Vantor.
This afternoon's Pall Mall Gazette
prints a Berlin dispatch, saying that
Prince Bismark is reported to be pre-
pired to give a full and clear expla-
nation of his eastern policy, in an-
swer to a question about to be put to
Parliament.
The Emperor is understood to be
prepared, in case of need, to tender
his good offices to England and Rus-
sia, with a view to the preservation
ot peace, but he is not inclined to act
in any way as an arbitrator between
them.
ROBBERY.
A Till Tapped of Fifty-two Dol-
lars.
From the Sherman Courier.
At 11 co'lock yesterday morning
J. W. Hearne & Co., lumber mer-
chants South Travis Street, had fifty-
two dollars stolen from the cash
drawer in their inside office. For
over half an hour, while Mr. Bristol
was down in the yard and Mr.
Hearne away, no one belonging to
the office had been in it to make a
stay of any length, and it was during
this time that the money was taken.
It was left in a five-finger combina-
tion lock till, and the thief had un-
doubtedly experimented with the
catches until he had hit upon the
right ones.
Some boys from twelve to eighteen
years old had been seen in front of
the office previous to the robbery,
and suspicion was at once directed
to them and the police notified. Two
hours afterward officers Newcome
and Thomas brought down three
well dressed boys who were very pos-
sibly the thieves, but no one could
possibly identify them and a search
tailed to throw any additional sus-
picions upon them. Their looks and
manners were against them, how-
ever, and they were ordered out of
town, and probably did leave yester-
day afternoon.
Throckmorton on Greenbacks.
John G. Eakins, Dallas, Texas.
Dear Sir : In answer to yours of
the 25th inst., I have to say that I
have voted for and advocated the re-
monetization of silver; to repeal the
Resumption Act, and to make green-
backs (U. S. notes) receivable for
all government dues, import as well
as other dues.
These are net new opinions of
mine, but were presented and advo-
cated during my last canvass for
Congress.
I hope to see these measures car-
ried during the present session of
Congress.
Truly your friend,
J. W. Throckmorton.

A Hope of Peace for Cuba.
Havana, Feb. 14.—During the
last few days official and private tele-
grams leave no doubt that insurgents
headed by their chiefs, are trying to
arrange terms of peace all over the
island. The Havana newspapers
speak of approximate peace assured,
and it appears that only the exact
terms remain to be settled, when they
will be proclaimed by the govern-
ment. To-day's papers publish a
telegram, dated Santa Cruz, Feb. 12,
stating that Maximo Gomez aud all
chiefs favor a definite peace, and
that hostilities are suspended all over
the island.
The Military Committee of the
House adopted the following resolu-
tion on the 14th:
Resolved, That in view of the
condition of affairs on the Mexican
frontier, and the danger arising from
the outbreak of Indian hostilities,
any measures looking toward a re-
duction of effective force of the army
is not justified by the condition of
the country, and is unsafe and un-
wise.
The act of 1837 fixed the silver
dollar at 412 1-2 grains, nine-tenths
fine, and the eagle at 258 grains nine-
tenths fine, making silver to gold as
15.9884 to 1. The act of 1S53 re-
duced the subsidary silver coins to
parts of 384 grains to the dollar, or,
as reckoned by the silver commission,
14.95 ot silver to one of gold.
Smallpox has made its appearance
at Brcmond, supposed to have been
contracted from a traveler en route
for Waco, who passed through there
about twenty days ago on the Cen-
tral road.

A MOVABLE
Planesphere of the Heavens
AT EVERY MINUTE.
TO ASTRONOMY, WH \T A MAP IS
TO GEOGRAPHY.
This is an invaluable substitute for the
Globe, and is as much better as it s
cheaper. A good ten inch globe will cost
02O, and the Planesphere will sol ye th*
problems much quicker and in many
cases with greater "accuracy. There ai«
two planespheres, making a complete set;
one shows all the constellations hand-
somely painted, the other the stars on a
dark ground like the sky. The two cost
only 86.
Take one of these instruments in your
hand any clear night, set it to the hour and
minute marked by the clock, and you
have a perfect map of the visible heavens
before you, by means of which you can
locate all the stars and constellations and
learn their names. Then turn to the al-
manac, learn the situations of the planets
in the constellations. Now with the aid
of planes phere. you can easily find then*
in the sky. Nine'v-nine problems in as-
tronomy can be solved by this ingenious
instrument. For the. planespheres, or fur-
ther information, address the inventor,
