After all the furor that was made last winter over the enactment of a scab law, it seems that the owners of scabby flocks can move them where they please, and other wool growers can do nothing unless they can prove actual damage, which would be a rather difficult matter. Hence, like a great many other laws on our statue books, it is liable to become a dead letter.-I-us t,andtan. The Mission and Sun River Ferry Corn pany has but recently organized and has already made an improvement that is of great importance to the traveling public. At the mouth of Sun River on the Mis souri river they have put in one of the best ferries on the Missouri, which is already doing more business then was even by them expected. By crossing at this ferry a great distam ce is av, d in going to ltmost of the important pointrs in Menghier county as well as in other localit.i s in E.astern .t1on tana.

Wallace, United States minister, that the commerei:d treaty between Turkey and Aierita wotuld ter minate March 13, 18.1. The T'l'ki h tar iff expired on the sa:liln dlate of the prtsent year, and after termination of the treaty the importation of all American meats, lard and similar produce wc.uld be p0o hibited. The prime virtually increased duties on spirits by comjntllill, g slo:age at Smyrna. It also maintains the the de mand relative to the storage uf pettolem. No Americau dce(g:: Itc has ):en alppoint ed to negotiate w iit h T'urky concerninlg a new tariff, although the appointment of one has been twice requtested. Gen. Wall ace protested that the measure.- in ques tion are arbitrary, and claimsn that the American government uwtler the treaty of 1830, is entitled to the Ilmost favored nation's treatment. The retlations betweetn the sultan and Gen. Wallace contillnue friendly. the former has ordered the payment and of all private claims of Americ'aas on Tur key, and claims amuntnmting to £38,000 have already been paid. In relaiLon to the pro test of Gen. Wallace, it ma:y be said that the porte was desirou. of making a new tariff on tile basis of 8 per vent ad valorem duty, but the powers objected on the ground that the tariff was not alterable un til the expiration of the commlercial treaties The porte pointed out that this was im practicable, as the treaties Xlpired on various dates. Aim: .st all the aslb:Lb:adors recognized the validity ,t"f tlis argtintmet, and consented to appo'i tt d1"t,.g:ves to fleet an arrangement. of the tariff'.

Having been troubled for many years with kidney disease, with severe pains in my back and limbs -my ankles were at times very bally swollen-I was advised to go to the hospital for trdatment, which I did on the advice of a friend, but found no relief, at least only of a temporary na ture, and I had given up all hope of a cure until my husband was advised to use Hunt's Remedy by a friend that had used it and been cured of a severe case of dropsy and kidney trouble. I procured a bottle, and had not used one-half of the bottle be fore I began to be better, no pain in the back, and the swelling of my limbs com menced to go down, and my appetite was much better, for I had become so bad that all I ate distressed me very much. It was really dyspepsia, combined with the other troubles. I have used tour bottles, and am able to do my work and attend to household duties which before had been a burden to me, and I can only thank Hunt's Remedy for the health and happiness which I now enjoy, and esteem it a great privilege and duty to give you this letter in behalf of my many suffering lady friends in Boston and the country, and can only say in conclusion that it you once try it you will be convinced as I was, even against my own will, that Hunt's Remedy is indeed a woman's friend. You are at liberty to use this for their benefit if you so choose. Respectfully yours, MRS. WM. GRAY. Hotel Goldsmith, 1416 Tremont Street, April 25, 1883. Boston. Stray Horses.
