Wasihjiotox, Dec. 8. I was
fortunate in finding Gen. IL 13.
Vance at home this afternoon and
gelling from him an expression of
views on the subjects of the tariff
... i
and internal revenue. For several
erars. as is well know'n he has
labored for the abolition of the in-
tcrnal revenue laws, and especially
for the wiping oat of the machinery
by which, as'he says, the people of
North Carolina bare Wn held in
thrall and some have been corrupted,
Gen. Vance: I havo long thought
that abolition waa practicable. I still
think so ' And yet, as there are so
many rbo do not, and so many
other interests to pe consiaereo,
perhaps it tsouUi be best to attempt
only a readjustment of the system to
the actnal wanU of the people. While
riMin as nnr rtnnlA dpsirn tr

Bitter JBread.
Complaint is frequently made by those
wno use DaKing powders that they leave in
bread, biscuit or cake raised by them a dis
agreeable, bitter taste. This taste follows
the use of all impure baking powders, and

Don't Bikm your 'Grandmother I
3ome people who are suffering
from thin and impure blood, are in
the habit of saving that their trouble
is hereditary. They think they hnve
inherited bad blood, weak stomachs,
irregular livers, and broken-down
systems from parents or grandpar
ents. These people often become
despondent, and say that nothing
can be done for them, and that they
think they will die just as their
grandparents died.
This is a very bad blunder. The
blood that courses in your veins,
good neighbor, is not your great
grandfather's blood ; it is your own.
It is your own body that is ailing ;
not that of some good old grand
mother who has been in her grave
for half a century. Instead of com
plaining that your ancestors have
gone back on yQU, you had better
begin to tone up your own blood,
regulate your own troublesome liver,
Set your own stomach to rights, and
get ready to enjoy first-rate health.
You want iron in your blood. You
want a tonic for those flabby muscles
and those bothersome nerves. You
wapt something which will drive out
that debility and brace you up and
give you robust health.
In a word, you want Brown's
Iron Bitters. This is a medicine
for the living, to make them enjov
life by driving out disease. Its pe
culiar preparation of iron enters into
the blood, driving the badness out ;
giving enrichment for poverty ;
strength for weakness ; vigor for las
situde. How much better it Ls t
take this pleasant and simple remedy
than to suffer with the debility and
distress which lead down to death.
The druggist and merchants in
your neighborhood keep Brown's
Iron Bitters. Try it. 4
