By Brown, of Indiana, to prohibit the mailing of letters and circulars concerning lotteries or newspapers, periodicals or other publications con taining lottery advertisements, and provide a penalty for the violation of this act. A question of the reference of this bill gave rise to some little dis cussion. Brown contended that it should go to the committee on the judiciary, and the speaker holding that under the rules it must be referr ed to the committee on post office and post roads. It was finally re ferred to the latter. A. Discussion by the Supreme Court in Reference to the Jurisdiction ol Fed eral Courts. Washington, Jan. 7. A decision was rendered by the United States Supreme Court today in one of the new series of the Virgina cou pon tax cases, namely: A. Austin Smith, plaintiff, in error against Samuel C. Greenhaw. This was a suit brought by a taxpayer of Rich mond Va., in the State court against Greenhaw, Treasurer of that city, for alleged trespass in entering the house of the former and seizing certain houshold furniture. The Treasurer set up a plea of justification of tres pass, that it was his duty to levy on the property of the plaintiff and sell it in satisfaction of a certain tax then due and owing to this the plaintiff filed application alleging a previous tender in payment of the said taxes of coupons cut from bonds issued by the State of Virginia, under authori ty of an act of the Ganeral Assembly of State, approved March 28, 1879, making such coupons receivable for such taxes. The defendant rejoined that by the act of the General Assem bly of Virginia of January 26, 1882, he was forbidden to receive these coupons in payment of taxes. After some further proceedings the case was, on petition of the plaintiff, re moved to the Circuit court of the United States for the Eastern District of Virginia, on the ground that it arose under the constitution of the TTnitAd States. On the 4th of September, 1883, it was, on motion of the defendant re manded to the State court, whereupon the nlaintiff brought the case nere nnnn a writ of error. This court holds that it sufficiently appears from the record that the nlaintitt s case nrises under the constitution of the TTnited States, within the rule as laid down in Bridge properties vs. Hobo lren eomnanv. 1 Wall 116-142. It follows therefore, that the United States Circuit court, in holding that it did not raise a constitutional ques tion and in remanding it for that reason to the State court, committtd an error. The order remanding the rase to the State court is reversed and the cause is reinstated in the Federal court with directions to pro eeed with it in compliance with the law. ODinion bv Justice Mat thews. The submission of other v ir einia tax coupon cases on printed briefs is set aside. They are restored to the docket to be argued orally whenthev are reached. This will have the effect of postponing them for three years. i ....... i... &. ...... 1. .1.331 9i 471 42 861 931 89 91 Illinois Central lAke Shore.. - Louisville and Nashville Manhattan Elevated Memphis and Charleston Metropolitan Elevated....

There are a great many tonics; and there are many preparations ol irn'Be careful what tonic" you lake. Brown; s Iron Bitters coata;ns the only preparation of iron which can be taken without injury to the teeui or other organs. The old-fashioned preparation of iron which the physicians used to give, had such' a powerful chemical action on the teeth as first to eat the enamel and then- to ruin their inner substance. Pimples mean vitiated blood. Impurities are in the blood because that vital fluid has-not the strength to drive them out Iron in the blood means enrichment and strength. It means a royal, red color to every corpuscle that enlivens the blood. It means a smooth, clear, beautiful skin, sparkling eyes, a vigorous step, and a cheerful heart. Everybody likes to be beautiful, and everybody has a right to be, as far as circumstances will allow. A pimpled skin is not lovely. Nobody would seek it as a recommmendation. There is no use of having a face all covered with pimples, as long as you can buy Brown's Iron Bitters, which, by invigorating and purifying the blood, will drive the pimples away. There is nothing violent in the operation of Brown's Iron Bitters. On the contrary it is gentle, although powerful. It rectifies the functions of organs Which are disordered. It tones the stomach, and enables that organ to do its natural work of digesting food. It helps the liver to do what is expected of it, and relieves the kidneys from many of the disorders which are pecu liar to them. . , . r , , r .
