The recommendations of the naval court-martial in the cases of Naval Cadets SanjanUn TvapleU, Archibald Campbell,

Ellsworth P. Bertholf and Franklin Moeller, 1 tried on charges of hazing, that they be dismissed the service, has been approved by the Superintendent of the Naval Academy and orders di.-missing them were issued from the Navy Department A Washington telegram of the 13th nst says: “Additional telegraphic reports from State Agents of the Agricultural De- ' partment have been received from Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and Dakota. They show’ that the frosts since the Ist inst have damaged the corn crop in those States from 5 to 15 ! per cent., the greatest in ury having | occurred in Ohio. Notwithstanding thia the sta’isiieian of the department savs that the 2,‘00,<(0 acres increase over last year’s planting will probably keep the t< tai yield from falling below ‘1,600,000,000 bushels. ; The total tor last year was 1,625.000,000 bushels, so the decrease will not, he savs, j be serious enough to cause a short supply.” The Secretary of the Interior, in a decision just rendered, holds that a prej emptdon settlement, initiated and riled in good faith, is a bar to a timber entry under the act of June 3, ]s;s. for the disposal of tim» er lands in certain States and tn Washington Territoiy He holds that where a I settler alleges that he hi s filed his declaraI tion of i tention to become a citizen and fails for a time to secure record evidence of I the fact, such evidence, when procured, | may be riled at any time before final dispo al of the land, and when filed is conclusive as to his qualifications as a prei emptor with respect to citizenship.

The National Union League has perfected arrangements for giving addresses in the South on political and educational questions. Prominent Northern men will be the speakers.

Wendell Phillips denies that he has become dissatisfied with the methods and administration of Gov. Butler... .Blaine r’enies the remafks recently credited to him. viz: That Butler would again be elected Governor of Massachusetts, and later win the Presiderftial contest for the Democrats. Mr. Blaine says the reverse of this are the Hews which he holds. A bill for the incorporation of the Southern Pacific Company is pending in the New Hampshire Legislature. The scheme of the parties interested is a consolidation ' of all ihe railroad and steamboat lines in Texas and Louisiana, the aggregate capital of which would exceed $5 ’,IK‘OA o>, and own, beside. ' .000,< 00 acres of Texas lands. ....Gov. Butler, of Massachusetts, has appointed to a Police Judgeship at Charle*to\\ n, a colored man named Edwin G. Walker. The New Jersey Democrats, in convention at Trenton, nominated Leon Abbott for Governor, but the friends of Andrew Albright declared in the convention that they would bolt the ticket Excerpts from the platform: The people should only be taxed S'.» mucu as is absolutely indispensable f r the frugal conduct or their public affairs; not one cent for surplus, and no unn cessarv taxation. We favor the entire abolition of the present system of internal taxation, the nursery of spoils and informers, a menace to the freedom of elections, the source of the greatest corruption, and an into'erab.e and unnecessaryburden upon the taxpayers. We insist that the public lands shall be reserved to actual settlers, not another acre for subsidies; that the dignity of American labor shall be defended, and also the rights of American citizens abroad and at home. We favor tariff for revenue, limited to the necessary expenditure of the Government, and so adjusted as to give protection and encouragement to home productive industry and labor, without producing or fostering monopolies. The Dakota Constitutional Convention has resolved to make the name of the new State South Dakota, in deference to the protest of the Fargo meeting. Woman suffrage was rejected by 36 to 6L Mr. Ramsdell, a Washington (D. C.) friend of Senator Blaine, says very positively that that distinguished gentleman will hot under any circumstances be a can- ; didate for the Presidency next year.

GENERAL. The 200th anniversary of the victory of King John Sobieski, the last independent ruler of Poland, over the mighty Turkish army besieging Vienna Sept. 12, 1683, was celebrated this year in that city by a grand torchlight procession and display of fireworks. It is estimated that persons were assembled. At Cracow and Lemberg the day was celebrated with enthusiasm. On this side of the water the day was observed in an a;propriate manner by the Po ish citizens. In Chicago 5,000 Poles paraded, and there were also imposing demonstrations in New York, Philadelphia and Milwaukee... John Roach, the Chester shipbuilder. was again before the Senate Committee on Education and Labor last week.

Guaymas. and Mazatlan, Mexico. There were sixteen deaths at I Guaymas last week, and six soldiers expired ; Horn black vomit in one day at Hermosillo. People are fleeing from the jiestilenee. The I diseaseis also spreading at Penisacola The relief steamer Y’antic has reached St Johns, N. F., without tidings of IJeut I Greely or any of his party. The Y'antic brought Caph Pike and the crew of the I'orteus. which vessel was crushed by ice on the ’i dos July and sunk. Capt Fike and bi- party were exposed in floats for thirty-one days and nights. The business failures in the United States tor the week ending Sept. 15 num- : qered liKL-six leas than the preceding week, and a decrease of three when comI pared with corresponding period in jss?.—ln a very comprehensive statement. embracing replies from seventy-five j leading mercantile and manufacturing ! cities of the I nion, shows that the manufacturing industries of the United Slates are enjoying a better Imsiness.than might have 'been supposed. It appears that with the exception of a few lines of industry orders are being received by manufactrueis quite up to the standard of former veais. and in many branche-i in e'eessthereof. On the whole, the indus--1 tries appear to be moderately well eini ployed, though at narrow margins of profit Ordeisare small, but frequent, and prom- ! ie to continue in good number. This is a I healthful condition at least—Dun's Commercial Agency reports business throughout ■ the country generally satisfactory, and the fall trade is quietly progressing, with a large volume of sales in most all staples—A New York telegram reports that "the drygoods men have done a better business.

He be » lieves the pooling system necessary to the ’ existence of any railway service whatever. I The growth of this necessity he instanced by stating that when he began as Pool Com- ‘ miss oner he represented but five roads, all running east ana west Two association-’sim ilar to the one x\ hich he controls now' exist in t the West, coyering territory not occupied by the E; stern pool. Po line on a grand scale ■ began in ISJS in the South. But for the • i water routes, Mr. Fink admitted, it xvould • ■ go very hard with the people, as the pinch I ; which .-hippers now get at the close of navi- . . j gation would be an all-destroying grip but | k that the dread of something after springtime i puzzles the magnates’ will. The gospel ac- j [ cording to Fink is, that when competition i ! between individuals becomes ruinous it stope j itself; but when corporations get into such | a tight it cannot be stopped by the mere ruia of the properties involved Competition must be eliminated in order to make the business of transportation possible, Mr. Fink pronounced the scheme of Govern 1 mental jmrchase and control of tbexailroads the wildest folly Imaginable. To a question as to whether the people could not be relieved of their causes of complaint, Mr. Fink grimly responded that so long as the people w ere charged anything at all they would remain obdurate. Prof. Dodge, the Statistician of the National Agricultural Department, is-of the opinion that the corn crop will probably be as great as that of 1 *B2. The damage to the corn in lowa by the early frosts has, according to trustworthy railway reports beer much over estimated.—A Southern cotton ex] ert estimates the yield of that staple foi 1 *B3 at not above 5,25' x(' bales. The crop has been seriously damaged by drought and by the pestiferous cotton worm. —lt is found by reports received a: the Agricultural Department in Washington from the tobaccogrowing districts that the tobacco crop in the New’ England States, New York. Penn ! sylvania and Wisconsin has greatly suffered from the recent frosts. At the best, not three-fourths of the crop in the States men tioned will be harvested.

FOREIGN. Adx’ICES from the Stanley expedition in Africa to Aug. 1 have been received at London. The general health of the party is reported to be very bad, and their numbers are being rapidly lessened by disease and desertions. . Several have died from fevers, and others are toe ill to travel furtier. Mr. Stanley writes hopefully of the results of his explorations, I and asks for European volunteers to join the expedition.

He says that tiie -English peasants are about entering on an agitation somew’hat similar to that wyich has been carried on in Ireland for land reform. Mr. Davitt has been invited to take part iin this new agitation.

FAMH Y PHYSICIAN. ! To remove warts, apply bullock’s pall two or three times a day. To make cod-liver oil less disagreeable, take it in tomato catsup, or eat a bit of fresh orange peel before and after the dose. In night sweats of consumption sponging the chest with salt and water at bedtime, in many cases arrests the Sweating completely. Hoarseness may be relieved by vang the beaten white of an egg mixed with lemon juice and sugar. A tableipoonfnl is a dose. A tboublesome, hacking cough or bronchial irritation is often relieved by gargling the throat with salt and water, ir by swallowing a little salt. i \ simple and safe means for the j Relief of eracked nipple is to powder it repeatedly with pulverized gum-arabic. Immediately after the child has suckled, lire powder should be dusted over the Surface and the nipple protected from I the air. | To believe a severe cold, nothing is better than molasses, butter and vinegar, in equal parts. Boil together, land take a table-spoonful as hot as possible whenever the cough is troublesome. Tar and honey in equal parts is also considered excellent. The juice of the red onion is a perfect antidote for the sting of bees, wasps, hornets, etc. If applied freely soon after being stung, it gives almost instant relief. The sting of the honey bee is always left in the wound, aud should be extracted before applying the onion juice. In nervous headache, when the pain is frontal, and the blood-vessels are full and throbbing, relief may often be Obtained by the constant application of cold to the head. The head should be elevated on a hard pillow, and hot applications made to the feet so as to draw the blood toward the lower extremities. Should the pulse be small and contracted, and the vessels of the head full and throbbing, while the |iands and feet are cold, it is a good plan to put the patient into a warm path at 97 degrees for ten minutes, and (hen to bed. It is astonishing the relief this simple remedy sometimes brings.

A Baltimore druggist of experience and ample opportunity for observation, has advanced the idea that Bright’s disease is attributable to the immoderate use of ice-water and cold drinks. He cites the fact that the people of this Country use 90 per cent, more ice in their drinks than the people of any other country, Greenlanders not excepted. We have 75 per cent, more of Bright’s disease. He cites the fact that the wine-drinking countries of Europe comparatively free from the malady. Travelers have observed and commented upon the prejudice which seems to pxist against ice-water and iced drinks in all countries outside the United States. The Englishman and the German fairly shun ice, though placed in easy reach of boundless quantities of jt; and the Frenchman who sips the light wines would as soon think of taking an emetic as of chilling his stomach with an iced-draught. Our drug-friend points to the fact that Bright’s disease has kept pace in this country with the increased consumption of ice, and claims that before ice lieeame a common household necessity the malady was scarcely known among physicians. There may be something in this theory. —Baltimore Gazette. Women and Life Insurance. Dr. Hammond, in a recent article, I pays that life-insurance companies rei fuse to insure women because they rannot depend upon what women say of themselves. Whether female applicants for life insurance, are.morn nnj truthful than male applicants is question the answer to which must necessarily l>e largely a matter of opinion. They must be pretty untruthful if they pre. to contest the palm with men for prevarication. Dr, Hammond’s statement was, however, weak in two respects. First, life insurance companies provide against untruthfulncss in applicants by making the contract deI pend upon truthfulness for its validity, and second, only a few companies resect women. The real difficulty with female insured lives is, as we pointed out some months since, that they have been taken npon the mortality table for jnale lives, and during the insuring ages there is no correspondence between this assumed mortality and the | mortality. The arbitrary addition of i i to 1 per cent, upon the insurance ! made by some companies, only adds to the injustice and absurdity of the rate. The companies which have made the addition have lost money on women, while companies which have made no discrimination in rates have made money. The statistics of insured female j Jives in this country we should consider pf very slight importance were they not corroborated by more extended obser- , vations in England and Germany. Fe- ! Jnale lives have not had a fair chance : here. It is, however, pretty clear that ' females live longer than males, butthat their superiority comes before 25 and after 50. And it is not untruthfulness ' that kills them between these ages, but 1 the fact that they are females and not jnales. As to the mortality from msi ternity, we believe it has been greatly ’ exaggerated, and, notwithstanding the positive of one of the interviewed that “the mortality among flmerican women incident to childbearing is frightful,” we believe that a healthy, insurable woman is to bear children, and yet see a green old ■ age, as she would be if she remained a Spinster and avoided the perils about wliich men talk so much and know so ’ little.— the Weekly Underwriter.

The black points, flesh-worms, or comedone«, which are found in the face, especially near the nostrils, are not all produced by the accumulation of dirt or flnst. as has generally been believed, but by pigmentary matter which is soluble in acids. The following treatment lias been recommended: Kaolin, 4 parts; glycerine, 3 parts; acetic acid, 2 parts, with or without the addition of a pmall quantity of ethereal oil. With this pomade cover the parts affected in the Ivening. and if need be during the day. After dressing several days all the Comedones can be easily expressed; post of them even come out by washing |he parts affected for a long time with rinegar, lemon juice, or diluted hydrochloric acid. The acid acts like posmetics, as they transform the black color into a biown and yellow shade knd destroy it gradually altogether.— Scientific American. Boyish Generosity. “No, Bob,” said Willie, generously; “that’s the largest piece; keep it yourself,” and he pushedit back with the expression of a lad who lias performed an act that deserved, to shine in a dark world. “Willie,” said Bob, casting a peculiar look at his companion from between the half-closed lids of his e left eye, “I know what’s the matter.” “What?” asked Willie, serenely. “Why, this watermelon ain’t ripe.”— Brooklyn Eagle. At a meeting of Connecticut drummers there were four who weighed over 200 pounds, the heaviest being 216. Thirteen weighed over 180. The tallest measured six feet two inches, and weighed 185.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE. In a Solid Gold Watch, aside from the necessary thickness for engraving and polishing, a large proportion of metal is needed only to stiffen and hold the engraved portions in place, and supply strength. The surplus gold is actually needless. In James Boss' Patent Gold Watch Cases this waste is saved, and solidity' and * strength increased by a simple process, • at one-half the cost. A plate of solid gold is soldered on each side of a plate of hard nickel composition metal, and the three are then passed between polished steel rollers. From this the cases, backs, centers, bezels, etc., are cut and shaped by dies and formers. The gold is thick enough to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and engine turning. These cases have been worn perfectly smooth by use without removing the gold. This is the only case made under this process. Each ease is accompanied with a valid guarantee signed by the manufacturers warranting it to icca 20 years. 150,000 of these Cases now carried in the United States and Canada. Largest and Oldest Factory. Established 1854. Ask your Jeweler.
