wards‘uieaccompaniment of necessary l‘é'gis.’
latiom'.‘..¥-Theiimpcrative needs" of the nation
have not yet been touched by the democratic
majority in the originating branch of Con-
gress. . All last week was lost, and worse than
lost to them, in their mistaken effort to wit} _.
a little cheap glory atthe south, over Amnes-
t y. It is true the minority were responsible
for accepting. the challenge after it was thrown
out, but the democracy must take the entire
responsibility for the untimely introduction of
the subject, and of its ultimate defeat. When,
at the end of the struggle, it was offered them
full and free, from Republican hands—it was
more coutemptuously spurnedzthan the rope
thrown by a negro to the drowning Irish-
man, who, entertaining—withan-intcnse hou—
Icsty—his party’s prejudice against the AfriI.‘
can, disdainf‘ully gasped, “Nivcr, sur! I’ll
(thrown first—fur I whom. a nagur's assist-
ance." This open and recorded refusal,
proved the utter insincerity and demagoglsm
ot' the democracy. '
This week we have had the Centennial
million and one-half appropriation up in the
House. This has been shuffled and tossed
2“" entire week, like a shuttle-cock. . Parties
5>:i‘ e mixed and divided in opposition and ap-
oval, but it is an interesting, if not comical
;.ict, that the preponderating tenderness and
-egurd for the “Constitution” developed by
..hc . discussion, is monopolized by our late
“erring brethren,” who fought so hard to de-
stroy it. Among the wisest and safest heads
in Congress, the appropriation is looked upon
as. most mischievous as a precedent, and by
this clags will be opposed. Still the prevail—
ing belief is that the appropriation will be ul-
timatelycarried. The large company of Phil-
adelphia gentlemen who have been here, have
retired,.i.n order to relieve the interest of the
t'erribleyand terrifying charge of “lobbying."
A loealpapergays “the only authorized per—
-sms now here working for the measure, are
General: Hmoley,‘ and Messrs“ Cochrane and
Bigler.” Gen.~Hawley is' exerting all his pet‘-
su'asive powers and' personal magnetism in
aid of the appropriation, and “lobbyist" or
what not; we' can see nothing that is not com-I
mendable in using so openly and'above board
all honorable means to secure a result he so
much desires and for which he is specially Y
employed. - . . .-
The story which comes here from Connec-
ticut, that General Hawley is jealous of the
Post-master General, lest the latter should
eclipse him at the coming National Conven-
.tiou, is received with derision. Gov. Jew-
cll’s smiling f: cc and jolly mien docs hot in:
dieate any such soul-harrowing care, while
Hawley is too actively at the button-holes of
Congressmen to permit any such canker to
gnaw at his vitals. The gossip is simply ab-
surd. » l ‘ - - » '
In the Senate .on Friday, the death of Vice-
President Wilson was announced by Senator
Bout well, in a speech of unusual beauty and
feeling. He was followed by Senators Ham-
lin, Cragin, Cameron, Morrill, of- Vt., Ste-
venson, Ingalls, Bog , Morton, Anthony and
Dawes. The latter two were exceedingly im-
pressive and eloquent. ’I ~
In the House, the same afternoon, Messrs.
Warren, Harris, Kelly, KnOtt, IClym'er, Kas-
son, Banks, :Lynch, HurlbuttMcgan,‘ Joyce,
Lawrence and Lapham, pronounced eloquent
eulogies upon the dead Vice-Resident, after
_ which that body also adjourned. Later in
the evening, the mourning draperies were re-
moved from the Senate Chamber and Capitol.
In the Senate, during two days, Mr. Mor-
ton delivered his speech on Mississippi affairs.
It was a terrible arraignment of the demo.
eratic party south, for its deeds of violence
and murder,'in its struggle for power. If
the Investigating Committee he calls for shall
be appointed and find the? one-half true, the
Senator alleges, it will be pretty hard for La-
mar to get into his Senatorial seat, he told his
legislative supporters he prized so highly, be-
cause it was once filled by Jeff Davis.
In the House, _Mr. Tucker, a rising states-
man fromVirginia, in a speech ostensibly on
the Centennial appropriation, “vindicated ”
all those who, after taking an oath to support
the Constitution and the Union, rushed into
the rebellion. These men, he thought,- were.
guilty of no fault, but rather entitled to the
highest commendation. In fact were strictly
following the example of George Washington.
The saddest part of all the developments
thus far made by the speeches of these ex-con-
federate CongreSSmen, is the‘total and abso-
lute laek of anyconscioustlss that ”my did
wrong in plunging the nation into war. . In-
deed, it is to them a cause for- laudation and
no one can doubt that, despite their new and
revised congressional oaths, so freely taken,
these same .men would again go into rebellion
against the Union if they were assured of suc-
cess. Their lack of any self reproach and
of all moral sense as to : the sanctity of
their oaths, is a fact most terrible to contem-
plate and yet it is a fact. -_
The papers of late, have been making much
ado over the circumstance that the Clerk of
the leading committee of the House; named
his boy after Wilkes Booth. He comes out
in a bungling card in the New York Tribune .
and denies that he did so. But his statement
is false; yet is not even; the lie measurably
a?
-.-»
creditable to him? A gentleman of undoubted?
reliability, who knOWs him.intimately,~ told.
us last evening, that he had heard the fool
and brute boast that he had so named the
child, more than a dozen times. The same
gentleman assures us that scores of witnesses
‘ to the same fact could be furnished any day
. if desired. But is'nt it pursuing rather small
game, to assail a poor clerk for his wicked.
ness and treason, when the man who appoints
him—Mr. Chairinan Morrison, of Illinois,—
himself, puts these two'bits of personal his-
tory before the country. Wt: copy first from
the Cpngressional record of the last, or 43d,
Congress, the biographical sketch Mr. Morri-_
son furnished the compiler of the book :—

This last omissionof all allusion to his service
in the Union Army, is Only one of themany
dclicathand most tender modes our demo-
cratic members from the east, north and west,
have of eating humble pie before their south-
ern allies and oforctiine party masters.
The eiilogies‘expectctl to‘ have been deliv-
ered next Wednesday, in honor of the lath
Senator Ferry have been postponed one week,
in consequence of the forced absence of Sena-
tor lVadleigh, .who desires to speak on the oc-
casiou. ‘ . _ ‘
The death of Senator Andrew-Johnson was
a mouuced in Congress on \Vcdnesday, and
several very fine eulogics pronounced. Those
of Senators Morton and McCreary, were per-
‘ haps, the most justly discriminating and clo-
q'ucnt‘p . .
A sister of Senator and General Sherman,
Mrs. Judge Bartlcy, died and was buried
here last week. ' .
Prof. B. S. Northrop, of Connecticut, gave
an interesting discourse this Sunday even-
ing, .at the Metropolitan Congregational
ch‘urch, onIthc subject of the religious and
educational -a\vakcniug in Japan, where. he
has been laboring the past three years. .
The protest of James E. Dunham, cx- P.
M. at Bridgeport, has beenreceived by the
President and'also copies by the Senate Post
Office Committee. It states in detail the
groundlessness of the charges made against.
’him and the injustice and unreasonablencss of
his removal. It is accompanied by a “letter
‘missive” from Dr. Robert Hubbard, severely
7criticising the harsh and summary action of .
the'P. M. General, and asserting substantial-‘
ly that ninety-five per cent. of all the citizens
of. Bridgeport concur with him in his view of
Duuham’s removal. The protest and state-
ment are quite smartly and even tartly writ-
ten. They may possibly provoke a Contro-
‘vcrsy between P. M. General Jewell and Dr.
but the probability is that the Senate Com-
mittee will readthem over, comment on the
same, and then report Col. Knowlton for con--
firmation. Dr. Hubbard and the ex-postmas-
ter of Bridgeport, however meritorious their
‘case, have an uncqualcontest,‘ with a cabinet
officer and a dominant majority on the Postal
Committee and in the SepateI against them.
The papers were examined by the Commit-
tee individually and informally, Monday,
without, convening the Post Office. Commit-
tee, whose regular duy of meeting is on Thurs-
days. The effect' likely to be made upon
their minds, could easily have been foretold,
but, it was a little. in the .“hurry” lineIto take
'up and «infirm Col. Knewlton, the firstIpos-
sible moment after the receipt of the Bridge-
port protests. Dr.’ Hubbard has no doubt
b'ecn misled, (as many others have been be-
fore him,) by an impression that custom and
usage renders it a-mattcr of duty for the Ex;
eeutive departments of the Government to
accept the wishes of the Congressman of the
when the member elect is not in political ac-
cord with the Adtninistmtion. This though
frequently done, as a matter of courtesy, has
never had the binding force of- an invariable
rule or custom, and never has it been less so
than under Gen. Grant’s administration.
When there is an issue between a Senator and
a Mcmbei of the House, as to a State appoint-
‘meut, all being in political harmony, the
Senator invariably Carries the greater weight.
The reasons for this and the wisdom' of it,
.mustbe'apparent. In the present instance,
Gov. Jewell freely and .frankly expresses his
~regrct'that he did not, on the score of cour-
tesy, 'refer the Bridgeport post-office matter
to Dr. Hubbard as well' as'to Senator Ferry.
He claims he had no thought or desire to ig.
norc the Doctor; but he as fully admits his
determination was to have Dunham removed.
I]. S. Marshall Carll was before the Attor-
ney General last week, craving the opportu-
nity to clear up his somewhat mixed finaneial
record. The Attorney General will not deny
him any reasonable time or means of doing
so,-and will rejoice as heartily as any of the
IMarshal’s Connecticut friends, if he can doit.
Benj. F. Noyes, of New Haven, is expect-
-ed here to reside'with his family. He comes
to take, charge of' his re—organized Insurance
company, which it is claimed, in consequence
of an old personaquuarrel with Insurance
Commissioner .Stcadman, 'is driven out of
Connecticut. . ,
Mr. S. Gleason, formerly of Connecticut,
has just taken and is now running the new
New York Avenue Hotel. His house isa

A. H. Bissell, Esq, of the Law Depart-
ment of the General Post-office, has) prepared
and has now in press a “Centennial Memo-
rial,” being a compendium of American His-
tory for the hundred years. It will prove
one of the most valuable little text; books of
ready reference , ever compiled, and will no
doubt ultimately find a place in the hands of
every school-child, as well as on the tables of
the professional and literary. . -

.The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the National Bank -of Norwalk for. elec-
thc'Dircctors, on February 25th. , Ordinarily
but little interest attaches to this election,
the “ old Board " almost invariably holding
'over by gencrdl consent. This year, how-
ever, is an exception to the rulc,.and aIsharp
contest is being waged to overthrow the
present administration. The gentlemen who
are engineering the new movement; are
in the‘ present Board, and as they
claim to represent about onequarter‘of the
entire stock, their opposition is therefore,
apparently, quite formidable. The present
Board is composed of the following named
gentlemen: Stiles Curtis, Edward P. Weed,
Edward Beard, Samuel Lynes, Henry I.
Hoyt, Frederick Belden, Ebenezer Hill.
The new ticket is as.follow's: Moses Hill,
Styles Ourtis, Frederick Belden,IHenry I.
Hoyt, E. Hill, S. E. Olmste‘ad, A. C. Nash,—
fqur old Dii-ejctors and three new candidates.- ‘
Many rumors are in circulation as to the ob-
ject of the oppositiOn in trying to obtain
control; They disclaim any desire to make
it a “family affair,” or to secure the offices
for themselves, which they have no intention
of doing. Ina circular issued by them to
the stockholders, they state that they propose
to fill the place made vacant in the Board by
the death of the late President, by his
brother Moses Hill, Esq. ; 'in the‘ place of a
present director owning-$1000 of stock to
elect Andrew C. Nash, of Westport,'who
represents $20,000 of stock; to elect S..E.
Olmstead as one of the Directors. This
Boardowu, they say, 8120.000 of stock.
In the event of their election it is tinder-
stood that there will be an entire change of
officers. . .
On the other hand the old Board is calm.
posed of honorable gentlemen, longvconneeted
with the Bank, and if re-elccted' would un-
doubtedly retain all of the present bflicials,
against whom, in all the strife, .we hear no
charges preferred, and who are and always
have been highly esteemed by patrons of the
Bank and the community generally. The of-
ficers of the Bank and several directors have
calledIattention of the stockholders to the
proposed change, which they deprecate as
detrimental to the interests of the Institution,
and urge them to continue the administration
under which the Bank has met with ‘such
abundant success ever since its cstablislunent.
Seine additional interest is added to the
contest by the effort of a prominent gentle-
_man “outside” to buy up stock, which he
offers to take in any quantity from one share
to the entire capital. .

. Wonderful Water “forks.
\Ve admit that we have never before had
any adequate conception of the magnitude of
the City Water Works. We supposed that the
supply of water wouldbe equal to ordinary
demands, iunl therefore sufficient. According
to the Sentinel, however, the \vorks are much
larger than thcré is any need of. We quote;
“The upper reservoir of this city’s water
works has now about 1,200,000,000 gallons in
it, and will hold about. cm,000,000 gallons
more before it is full; at the lower reservoir,
which holds about 18,000,000, there is a con-
stant overflow."
The Borough. supply dwindles into in-
significance, when compared with these Gol-
den figures. After reading the above we
are quite prepared for the statement made
in:the same paper, that at a recent trial made
on Flax Hill, “In stream was thrown clean
over Mr. Moore’s .house,”- through 650 feet
of hose (21inch) from a four inch pipe. If
these statements are true the editor is just-
ified in claiming to have the “boss water-
works.” . _ _
The “Month’s Mint ” ceremonies in mem-
ory of the late Father Smith, were formally

impressive.. - -
District, or of the unsuccessful candidate, , A horrible story of cgime comes from West
Virginia. .A wife, after trying several months
to poison her husband, joined the man who
had been her paramour for three "years in
murdering him. The neighbors finally mis-
trusted foul play, searched, and found the
body buried in the stable. The woman and
her paramour were both arrested and taken
to jail. The excited populace broke open the
jail, and hung the man after cxtorting a con-
fession from him. The woman was then
'her, but no one was found willing to adjust
the rope, and she was taken back to jail.

disappeared, but with an “addition of » six
inches more to what we have left we should
have enough for excellent sleighing.

A wood story at the expense of Repfesenta-
tive Lamar is going around the cangfcssional
circles. When he was returning home from
the session of Congress in'1860, a- new'sboy on
the Memphis and Charleston railroid insisted
that he should purchase a book. . Anno éd
b his pertiuaeity, and anxious: to be ri of
bun, Mr. Lamar said to him, with a wave of
his hand, “Oh! Pshaw! don’t bother me so;
Iwrote the book.” Quick as ”thought the
little'fellow answered. “Ah! now I know.
That’s what makes it so hard 'to sell 1"

A Washington special to the New York
Tribune says in regard to Beu‘ Hill's “ revis-'
ion of his speech: ‘f_'l‘lis_cliaiiges and mod-
ifications are most extraordinary and unprece-
dented. 'Mr. Hill has: been guilty of the-
unparliatnentary conductof entirel , sup-
pressing an 'importantIcolloquy ' wit 1 Mr.
Hale, of Maine, uponth'e Fugitive Slave law.
Mr. Hale’s remarks are entirely eliminated
from the printed speech,- which is a ros-
violation of the rules of the House. Some
of the Republicans talk of raising a question
of privilege, that Mr. Hill’s speech as spoken
must be printed, and that.hc cannot strike
from The Record the speeches of other
members.”

The breach of promise suit has. appeared
in almost every guise already, but here seems
to bee. truly'novel case. A mau'and his
wife who lived in Brooklyn were divorced
in 1864. They managed to get alon without
each other for ten years, but in 187 decided
to try again. ' They had the decree of divorce
modified to permit their union, and .then for
sumo reason the man changed his mind and
concluded he would not marry her. ,Now
she sues for dauntges, and Mrs. Saulspaugh
appears in court charging Mr. Saulspaugh
with breach of promise of marriage. The
wife sues the husband, whose name she
bears, for failing to marry her. This is about
as queer an antic as the law of divorce has
. ever cIut.

An alarm of fire9'iva8j‘glven about 3 o’clock
on Monday. morning which aroused the city
residents, and our ever vigilant firemen. It
proved to be at the 'summer residence of Lorin
Ingersoll, Esq., of New York city. The Old
Well Hook & Ladder Col, and Putnam Hose
'00., with a large majority of the inhabitants
of the city, were soon at the burning build-
ing but found it. would be impossible to save
any part of it, and but little of- the furniture;
it being many thousand feet from a water by:
drant, it was impossible to try the efficacy of
Rock Spring water upon it. The Hook &
Ladder 00., finding little use for their ladders
at the house thoughtfully placed them upon
the barns and out-houses, where Foreman
Kinney and Duke stationed men to watch,
while the reserve force with members of the
Hose company and others, under the direc-
'tion of ' Chief-engineer Fairbanks and his as-
sistants Crow and Jennings, saved what fur-
niture it was possible to get out. Very many
articles were removed to.the barn in a dam-
aged condition, but nearly all the furniture
was consumed. . The fire was discovered in
the'northwcst corner of the second-story, but
how caused none are able to tell. . The house
had been thoroughly painted and frescocd
and it was the intention of John H. Ingersoll
to remove there in the early spring. The
fiames'lightcd up the whole city and was re-
flecteda long way, and. Was a grand 'sight
from a distance.- The house was totally dc-
stroyed. It is supposed that there was a-
large insurance on the building and furniture.
g Messrs. Hanford, Turner :and Knapp from
our local insurance company were at the fire
guarding the interests of their company. - The
Piano valued at $3000 was saved, and remov-
ed to the residence of Burr Knapp. Insured
for $70,000; $35,000 on house and $35,000
on the. furniture, which includes $17,000 in
the North British, and $5,000 in the Fairficld
Insurance Co.

' There has been alarge cane walking around
the city with a man for some time past, both
eccentric an curious. The‘inqniry is often
made: Who are they .9 ' .
Rumors are rife in regard to candidates for
public position, both in school, town and
state offices. These names are too numer-
ous to mention. ‘
' Mrs. F, 8. Lyon died on Thursday of that
lingering disease, Consumption, leaving two
infant children to whom she was fondly at-
tached. ‘ The' funeral services were held in
the Congregational church of ’ which she and
her husband were members; ‘ '
Master Eddie Biker received an Ovation at
the residence of his father; on Main street, on
Friday night. His little friends and school-
mates assembled and called' on him in com-
pany, quite surprising the young gentleman.
The evening Was spent in children’s delights,
playing dud paying, dancing and kissing, af-
ter which refreshments Were served. Noth-
ing occurred to mar the pleasure of the occa-
sion except' the arrival of the hour of 10
of a large picture—a family rclic.‘
“All men pnach by their lives and conduct.
A good life preaches life, an evil life preaches
death; and thousands who may never hear
' sermons may be led by the preachingof’ our
consistent lives."
There has been no time, of late years at
least, when there was so much suffering, want,-
and privation, among the worthy and indus-
trious poor, as is found now, especially
around the suburbs of .the city and town, and
never a time when the benevolence of the
people was more fully shown. Individuals
and associations are doing what they can to
alleviate distress and want, dud without re-
gard to sectarian names, are viei'ng with one
another in carrying on the good work. “ He
that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lor .”
Shipments of manufactured articles from
the city are come increase. The receipts of
“packages" are much greater. L. Dibble, Jr.
received six barrels of oil, fifty of flour,
twenty boxes of starch and other packages;
D. C. H. Brown, two boxes of sausage and
four carcasses of beef; Brown & lVilcox
forty lots assorted groceries; C. R. d: F. C.
Bennett and Dickerman & Son, sev'eral cases
merch'andize, and other dealers received mer-
chandizc in proportion.
“Phantom’is a new theme just now. A
is called a “phantom.” If one is seen emerg-
ing from his house robed in a white sheet and
enters a close carriage for a ride, it is called a
“phantom.” If a man is ' seen with a huge
cane walking thréugh the streets, and sudden-
ly disappear behind a store door, or emerges
fronrbehind the thick smoke of a favorite
oak-leaf regalia, it‘ is called a “phantom.”
Parties, at which gents and ladies wear as
outer covering, sheets and pillow-cases, are
called ,“phantom’I’ partieg. Such are in vogue
now.
. - As was suggestedin your last, his Honor,
Mayor Quintard, with the sanctiOn of seven
of the twelve ’councilmen of the city, 'has
called a meeting of the residents, voters and
taxpayers of the city, to be held at Military
Hall, on WEDNESDAY (to-morrow) evening, to
hear a report ‘read from the Water Commis-
sioners in regard to what has been done by
them, and suggestions as to what they pro-
pose to do, with the sanction of ”the people.
There is no little pride on the part of the peo-
. ple here in what has been accomplished in
the effort to secure water: pure, beautiful,
Rock Spring Water; and doubtless at the pro-
posed mecting there» will be no little rejoicing
over the Success attending the effort. . Cold
water addresses are expected. Neither the
“call" of the Mayor, or the “resolution of the-
Board of Councilmen” contains an invitation
'to the ladies, but they have been publicly in— '
vitcd. ‘Can’t you come. ‘ ' .
The Temple of ~'Honor and Temperance
propose to hold a public meeting on Tuesday
evening of next‘ week, at 74- o’clock, in their
Hall on Washington street, over the store of
Messrs. C. R. & F. C. Bennett. - An, invita-
tion has been extended to Concord Division,
S. of ‘ T., and to the I. 0. Good Templars, of
the Borough, to be present. It is hoped that
these ‘ associations and all persons who are
friendly to the'cause of temperance will be
present, and by their influence and example
hold up the hands of 'thcse faithful, consist-
ent laborers in this great'and good cause.

Thanking your correspondent “Paul” for
his pleasant references to the Grove Point
. Cemetery of Westport, I will. bcg- a small
space to correct a misapprehension on his
part of the needs of a cemetery, especially
of the nature ofthe one in contemplation.
He states that this would make a most beauti-
ful place for fine residences, truth, so would
Greenwocd or Woodlawn, but it is not proba-
ble that the owners of the unoccupied plots
I‘n those cemeteries would be willing to sell
'for dwelling house purposes, for they esteem
the use for which the land was‘sct apart, as
valuable as for any other.
‘_I would beg to differ with him -also iii-his;
statistics._ In 1870 by census report, West-
port contained a population of 3,361. 'AIl-
lowing that the town will not increase in the
number of itsinhabitants during the next (33)
thirty—three years,’ that number of graves, at
least, is to be provided for. If we add Nor walk
Daricn and Fairfield, by giving an average
increase of" (20) twenty per cent. for each ten
years we shall have over forty thousand
graves to provide for in one generation, to
say uothingof the thousands required for re-
mo‘vals from cross-roads, farm corne‘ and
where public improvements demand changes.
Now the Grove Point Cemetery is not offered
for all these, but for a comparatively few
families who-wish a choice family plot.
I know of many alratdy, without any ef-.
fort at canvassing whatever, who are not sat-
isfied with the burial places mentioned and
should only two hundred subscribers come
forward at present, that number .would on-
sure the high character of the undertaking.
\thn the whole eight hundred or more
plots are taken, even should the price remain
at the present low figure, the “permanent
fund” provided for in the charter, will be
hbout fifty thousand dollars, which at fiVe
per cent. will give an annual income of
twenty-five hundred .dollars to keep the"
grounds in order, even should the relatives of
the “door departed" remove to places far
away. ' . . ' ~ ’
The character of the soil, its natural grade,
its trees and quiet beauty of location, all
combine to make this place as valuable for a
ccmeter ', if not more so than any other in
Fairfield County. ' ' '
‘ Very truly yours, .
MELvnms'E. Mum.

frequently visited the saloons of Nor'walk to
pray and sing. The ladies were politely shown
into the‘ large apartment off the bar-room, dc-
voted to games, shooting, etc., and the propri-
etor, with an eye to business, charged ten
cents each to the eager crowd who followed.
Each payee was furnished with a check,
which was good for oncvdrink at the bar. An
interesting scene presented itself in the inner
.apartment. An expectant and orderly crowd
stood around with hats off, while the ladies
handed out hymn~books to all,who desired,-
prcparatory to begimiiug Ithc services. A
number of small bOys outside flattened their.
noses against the dingy basement windows.
Soon. the sounds of devotion arose from the
band, the familiar hymns and choruses being
taken up by the crowd with a good deal of
spirit. The exercises consisted of sinrrmg,
prayer and short addresses from the. la ies.
These addresses all appeared to be inspired by
sincerity, and some were even full of impas-
sioncd eloquence. We hope, rather than ex-
pect, that good will result from their labors.
After the services, a temperance—not total
abstinence—pledge was read, and and a good .

A study of the yeas and nays as given in the
Congressional Record on the motion to repeal
the resumption act, brings the two parties in
striking contrast. One hundred and one of
the 160 democrats who voted gave their votes
and influence in favor of breaking the pledge
for returning to honest money, Only eight
republicans were found to assist in this work.
The credit of the country was saved by the _
republicans, who voted almost solidly against
the repeal.

Madame M. came to this State about five
years ago. None" other of her sex having pre-
ceded her in the profession, therefore great
prejudice was entertained against her abilities
and qualifications as a physician; credit to the.
.. ' profession and to her sex. . She has also proved
herself a woman of education, courtesy, be-
nevolence and highly talented in the general
business of life, where she - is ever found
prompt, reliable and efficient. Not one among
us has ever had the success to so great. a dc-
grec of curing diseases as Madame M. She
has but few equals and 'no superior, nei-
ther in her public life not her private reputa-
tion. Her mode of practice seems to differ
from the general rule, while she cleanses the
the blood from all impurities with vegetable
medicines of her own preparing; the patient
is thus reliably cured on a basis that all dis-
eases, directly or indirectly, arise from humor
or deranged state of the blood or bilc.‘ The
locality and appointments about her, give ev—
cry evidence of a great share of public confi-
deuce and patronage, with profit and general
acceptance—Portland Transcript.

ic, ax“ Mxxnmku Pu.Ls..—Thcsc deservedly cei-
ebra led and popular medicines have cll'ected a rev-
olution in the healing art, and proved the fallacy
of several maxims which have for many years ob-
structed the progress of medical science. .The
false supposition that “Consumption is incurable”
deterred physiclIans from attempting to find reme-
dies for that disease, and patients afflicted with it
reconciled themselves to death without making
auctl‘ort to escape from a doom which they deem-
C(l unavoidable. It is now proved, however, that
Comrmnption can be cured and that it has bccn
Clll‘Cll in a very great number of'cases (some of
them apparently desperate ones) by Schcnck’s
Pulntohic. Syrnp'alonc; andin other cases by the
same medicine in-connection withSchenck’s Sea
\Vccd Tonic and Mandrake Pills. one or both, ac-
cording to the requirements of the case.
Dr. Scheuck himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years. was suppos-
_ed, at one time to be at the very gate 01‘ death, his
physicians having pronounced his case .hopcless,
and abandoned him to his late. He was cured by
the aforesaid medicines, and, since his recovery,
many thousands similarly atl‘ectcd have used Dr.
Seheuck‘s preparations with the same remarkable
success. .
