should deem it advisable at the present session to establisii competitive tests for admission to the service, no doubts such as have been suggested shall deter me from giving the measure my earnest support, and I urgently recommend, should there be a failure to pass any other act upon this subject, that an appropriation of *26,000 per year may be made for the enforcement of section 1,758 of (he Revised Statutes. With the aid thus afforded me. L shall strive to execute the provisions of that law according to its letter and spirit- . I am unwilling, in justice to the present civil service of the Government, to dismiss this subject without declaring my dissent from the severe and almost indiscriminate censure with which they have been recently assaulted ; that they are, as a clrbh, indolent, inefficient, corrupt, s a statement which has been often made and widely circulated, but, when the extent, variety, delicacy and importance of their duties are considered, the great majority of the empl yt s of the Government are, in my judgment, deserving of hign oommendation. THE MERCHANT SERVICE. The continuing decline of the merchant marine 01 the United Htates is to be greatly deplored. In view of the fact that we furnish so large a proportion of the freights of the com-ic-r is I worid. and that our shipments are gTescrv ana rapidly increasing, it is a cause of snrpr settiat not only is our navigation interest diminishing, but it is less than when our exp i s and imports were not half so large as u w. either m bulk or value. There must be some peculiar hindrance to the development ot tins luterest, or the enterprise and en•r y of American mechanics and capitalists' would have kept this country at least a roast oi our rivals in the friendly contest for 1 e n supremacy. The substitution of iron for -wood and of steam for sail have wrought great ri volut ions in the carrying trade of the world, but hese changes could not nave been adverse to America, if we had given to our navigation i*;t- retts a portion of the aid in protection win ti have been so wisely bestowed upon our m till 1 acturers. I commend the whole subject l i t- wisdom of Congress, with the suggestion tir t no question of greater magnitude or ini tm-r n aching importance can engage their U •Xill'ill, IMMIGRATION. In 1875 the Supreme Court of the United States declared unconstitutional the statutes of contain ■'tiites which imposed upon shipowners or consignees a tax of $1.50 for each passenger arriving from a foreign country, or, in lieu t riof. inquired a bond to indemnify the Stale and local authorities against expense for the future relief or support of such passenger. Since tins decision the expense attending the ciro and supervision of immigrants has fallen on the States at whose ports I ip-v have landed. As a large majonty of riuh immigrant-, immediately upon their arnv 1, pruct ed to the inland Sti.les and the Territories to seek permanent homes, it is manifestly uujust to impose upon the State whose shores they first reach the burden which it now bears. For this reason, and because of the national importance of the subject, I recommend legislation regarding the supervision to transitory care of immigrants at the ports of debaikatxon. ALASKA. I regret to state that the people of Alaska have reason to complain that tney are as yet unprovided with any form of government by w hich li e or property can be protected. While the extent of its population does not justify the application of the costly machinery of territorial administration, there is immediate necessity for constituting such a form of government as will promote the education of the people and securo the administration of justice. The Senate at its last session passed a bill providing for construction of a bn lding for the library of Cong ess, but it failed to become a law. The provision of such able protection for this great collection of books, and for the copyright department connected with it, has become a subject of national importance, and should reoeive promjtt attention. DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. The report of the Commissioners of f tho District of Columbia, herewith transmitted, will inform you fully of the condition of the affairs of the District. The vital importance for the reclamation and improvenient~~uf tiro marshes, and for the establishment of the harbor lines along the Potomac river front is undoubted. It is represented that in their present condition these marshes scr.ousl : affect tluK. health of the -residents of the adjacent parts of the city, and that they greatly mar the general aspect of the park in which stands the Washington Monument. This improvement would add to that park and tho park south of the Executive mansion a large area of valuacle land, and wou d transform what is now believed to be a dangerous nuisance into an attractive landscape extending to the river front. They recommend the removal of the steam railway lines from the surface of tho streets of tbe c.tv. i.nd the location of the necessary depots in such pEces as may be convenient for the public accommodation. They call attention to the deficiency of the water supply, which seriously affects the material prosperity of the c tv and the health and comfort of its inhabitants. I commend these subjects to your carelul consideration. Tho importance of timely legislation with respt c to the ascertainment and declaration of TIIE VOTE FOR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS was sharp!' culled to the attention of the people more than four years ago. It is io- bo hoped ♦hat some well-defined measure may to devised before another national election, which will render unnecessary a resort to any expedient of a temporary character for tho de ermination of questions upon contested returns. Questions which concern the very existence of the Government aud the liberties of the people were suggested by the prolonged illness of the kite Piesident, and his consequent incapacity to per form the functions of his office. It is provided b the second article of the constitution, in the filth clauso of its first section, teat io case of the removal of the President from office, or o! his death, resignation, inabil.tv to discharge the powers and duties of said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President, What is the intention of tiie: consign ion in its specification of inability to d -charge the powers and duties of said offi/e,” is oue of the contingencies which calls the Vice President to the exercse of Presidential functions, is the ina 1 tl tv delegated in its nature to long-coutinned intel ectual incapacity, or has it broader import ? What must be its extent arid duration? How must its existence be established ? Has the President, whose inability is the subject of inquiry, any voice in determining whether or not it exist* ? Or is the decison of that momentous and delicate question confided to the Vice President, or is it contemplated by the constitution that Congress should provide by lavr precisely. WHAT SHOULD CONSTITUTE INABILITY, end how and- by »lu; tribunal or authority it should tie ascertained ? If the inability proves temporary m its nature, and.during its continuance tbe Vice President lawfully exercises the functions of the Executive, by what tenure does he hold his office ? Does he continue as President for the remainder of the four-veura term, or would the elected President, if his mabi’ity should cease in the inWVvai, be empowered to resume his office ; and if. having -MK-h lawful snthorrv. be »hould exercise it, would the Vice President be thereupon empow< red to resume hi* power* and duties as such? I cannot doubt that these important questions will receive your early and thoughtful consideration. Deeply impressed with THE GRAVITY OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES which have so unexpectedly devolved upon me, it will he-my constant purpose to co-operate with you in such measures as will promote the glory of the country and tho prosperity of its people. Chester A. Arthur. Washington, D. C.. Dec. C. 1881.

According to an English geographical ■writer, there are four vast areas still to be opened up or traversed by civilized man, and which among them, constitute abont one-seventeenth of the whole area of the globe. Of these there is the antarctic region, which in extent is about seventy-five times that of Great Britain ; the second lies about the North Pole; the third is in Central Africa, and the fourth in Western Australia. The south polar region referred to is almost conterminous with the antarctic circle. The vast African area reaches on the west very closely io the coast, and it is only near the equator that it has more than superficially been driven inland. In Australia tbe great undeveloped region is that which lies west of the track explored from north to south by Stuart, and which now forms the line of telegraphic communication across the conti uent.

THE GUITEAU TRIAL.

EIGHTEENTH DAT. There was an immense crowd at the cour'i ouse when the prisoner arrived, and he tremingly begged the officers to take him in b u back entrance, b*. he was driven forward to the building. Dr. Kennou, editor of the Medical Review, of licago, gave the opinion that tbe pri.-om ■ as'insane. The assassin became incensed ai i ; evidence of Richard Hinton, a Wasbing,n journalist, end shouted out that he bad tiler be hung as a man than acquitted as fool. Dr. Nicholas, of the Rloomingdak ittylum ; Dr. Folsom, of Boston: Dr. Samuel Vorcester, Dr, W. W. Godding, Dr. James H. Jcßride, of Milwaukee, and Dr. Theodore \V. /istier, of Boston, experts on insanity, were xaruined by Mr. Scoville for the purpose of bowing that Guiteau was insane. Tht ir an- • wers were in reply to hypothetical questions vhicli assumed that the witnesses favorable to iuitean told tbe truth. Guiteau demanded .hat Grant, Conkling and Jewell be summoned MKJUEENTH DAY. Hon. Charles B. Farwell, of Chicago, wai called as a witness, and testified that Guiteau offered to make him Pre-ident if he would loan him $200,000 with which to buy the Inter Ocean newspaper. He said ho believed that the assassin was not so insane but that he could distinguish between right and wrong, whereupon the prisoner got excited, said he wanted such nonsense stopped, that ne acted from inspiration, etc. George C. Gorham, of the Washington Revuhlican. then took the stand, and Scoville began to question him. Guiteau again broke out. telling Scoville he was crazy, and that he (Guiteau) did not approve of his method of conducting the defense. His testimony was unimportant. Scoville stated that he desired to have President Arthur testify in the case. Guiteau (interrupting) —Yes, and Grant, and Conkling, and the rest of my political friends. Scoville here takes altogether too narrow a view of this case. After some discu-sion, counsel for the prosecution agreed to allow Scoville to prepare interrogatories to be submitted to tho President, and allow his evidence in this form to be put in later. Guiteau read to the jury for half sn hour from liis book, “Truth.” Counsel for the prosecution objected to the reading of the entire book, and, after discussion, it was arranged that Scoville should mark such passages as ha intends to rely upon and submit the book to the prosecution. With this understanding and agreement between couusol relative to the evidence of President Arthur, Scovillo announced the close of the defense. TWENTIETH DAT. On the opening of court Guiteau opened business by declaring himse’f dissatisfied with tho development of the facts relating to the political situation wh e, ein lay the gist of the alleged defense, and renewed his demand lor the testimony of such men as Grant, Conkling and Platt. He announced, also, his purpose of making the closing speech for the defense.

No answer having been received from the half-dozen qestions submitted to_ President Arthur, tue court said that the defense should have the benefit of the said testimony when it should come. Mr Scovilla then called Dr. E. C.Spitzger, of New York, who failed to respond, as did Mrs. Emma Rood, of Cnicago, and Mr. Seovule asked for attachments. The defense here rested, and tbe prosecution called Gen. W. T. Sherman to the witnessstand. He identified the letter that was placed in his hands after the shooting, written by Guiteau, and stated that he suspected at the time there might be a conspiracy, bat afterward concluded the shooting was by one man. Guiteau thanked the General for protecting him with the military, at which the warrior smiled grimly. Edward Barton, a lawyer from Freeport, 111., was next sworn, and stated that he well knew tx.e prisoner’s father, whom he described as a straight!orward, clear-headed man of excellent intellect, and always believed him sane. Testimony to the same effect was given by Gardner W. Tandy; Dr. B. P. Buckley, the Guitenu family physician ; A. T. Green ; John 8. Cochrane, Prosecuting Attorney ; George W. Oyler, Alison A. Babcock, David A. Sunderland aud Horace Tarbox, all residents ot Freeport, Hi.,'and well acquainted with tho assassin’s father. TWENTY-FIRST DAY. Col. Corkhill called, as the first witness of the day, Mrs. Julia M. Wilson, of Leadvllle, Col. She knew L. W. Guiteau from her earliest recollection. He was her uncle. Witness gave a most feeling account of the life and character of her mother, Mrs. Maynard, who, it had been alleged by the defense, bad died insane, but who really died from pneumonia in 1856. During the examination of this witness Scoville objected to one of her an wers to a question, and a lively discussion ensued between Judge Porter and Scoville. Guiteau be came enraged at Judge Porter, and shouted : “ Now hold your thunder till you get to the lurv Judge. You are doing this sort of thing too" much.” Judge Porter, without noticing the outburst, continued in the most impressive manner to argue his point, when Guiteau broke in again : “fm not a criminal, and I won’t he till convicted. I won’t have that word. You just hold your eloquence till you get to the jury.” Scoville expostulated with him, but ho retorted in the most vicious manner : “ You shut up and mind your business ; I know what I’m doing.” Witness was questioned in regard to various members of the Guiteau family, and stated positively that she never saw indications of insanity in any of thorn. At the conclusion of Mrs. Wilson’s testimony, John W. Guiteau, brother of the assassin, arose from his seat next the prisoner, and asked the court to rule out the question and answer relative to witness’ father Uaving died of softening of tho brain. Judge Cox—“l think the matter irrelevant.” Scoville here arose, trembling with excitement, and protested against the meddling of John W. Guiteau in this case. “He is opposed to showing insanity in the family, ’ said Scoville, and his voice was here drowned by the prisoner, who struck his hand violently on the table aud shouted: “Sodo I. He had better get back to Boston. He has got no business here. Just because he happens to bear the same namo ho thinks he will get a littlo notoriety out of this case. I haven’t known anything about the man lor years. That’s all there is about him, and I want him to got right out of this case." President Arthur’s replies to the written interrogatories of counsel lor the defense were lead. Ho stated that he know nothing about Guiteau previous to tho crime of tho 2d of July, except that he had seen him around the Republican headquarters at New York. A nnmier of witnesses were callod to the stand and (old what they had seen of the prisoner in the various places whore he has made an unsavory record for himself during tbe past few years. Strangely enough, none of these people ever jaw in him any indications of insanity, but ue uly all had found evidences of moral turpitude, sometimes to their cost. The worst story was to’.d bv the Rev. Dr. McArthur, of New York, pastor of tho Baptist Church to which Guiteau united himself in 1872, and from which, after borrowing *95 from the pastor, and otherwise abusing his generosity, he was excommunicated in disgrace r or gross immorality. As Mr. McArthur went into the shameful details Guiteau grew irritated aud then violent. Mr. Scoville objected to the testimony, and asked the use of it. “Wo wish to ahow,” said District Attorney CorKhill, “that what the defense calls the prisoner’s insanity is bis devilish depravity.” General applause followed this declaration. and a lad of 14 was expelled from the court-room as a scapegoat. After this the con usion was so gn at that adjournment was a relief tc all concerned. The assassin was hooted as he was led by policemen to his van. TWENTY-SECOND DAY. Rev. Dr. McArthur resumed tho witness stand, and continued to testify to the assas sin’s rascality and meanness. Scoville objected to this character of evidence, but the couri ruled it* admissibility, as tending to show the general character of The prisoner. The assassin at this point broke .out uito one of his noisy harangues. Col. Corkhill desired the court to restrain the or s at r, when Guiteau turned to h m and t-a.-i *• Y ugo slow, Corkhill. You are spotted, hi d i soon as tins business is over the Frcsiden writ remove >ou.” W. Caldvveu, a physician, treated L. W. tiudeau during liis la t illness. He never d<ecied any ev deuce ol mental unsoundness. George W. Plummer, a Chicago lawyer, was j lied. Uuittuu immediately snouted: “1 oai .nts man *2O, but it has cost tho Uovcrumem . 2Uo to gel Dim litre. I think ihe President’> me -lion bad bctler be called to the way you are i-q la. dermg the Goiernment’s money.” Witness allowed lire pr.somr to occupy a ltrk m iiis in tv office at < nicugo some mouth.-, no seemed to n ve a deal ol collection bus. .. ss, and ttcut in and ont like any busiuea

Guiteau continually interrupted, and finally • mives raid to 'him: “It seems that your .u-.c relations wiui the Duty of late have eorupied your manners.” Tne prisoner laughed heartily at this sally auu said : “ Weil, that ain’t bo bad, l’lummer, lor a Western man.” "Did you ever see anything in his conduct that i.iuicated unsoundness ol mind?” was the utxi question. No, sir,” replied witness, “ nothing whatever. He seemed to be a man of ability, vam and eonoei ed.” rSrepuen English, editor and proprietor of tbe Ineui once 'J iii.ee, New Yi rk, took tbe stand. G.uleau called out: “ Tins man was m Ludlow sueet jail, and i got him out for Wituesi gave the circumstances under which lie became acquainted with the prisoner. Witness was in jail under S4U,OI'U bonds, charged witta heel. Tne prisoner acted us his attorney. Omteau frequently and noisily iuierrupteu witness, calling him liar and perjurer. At one time he shouted : “There isn’t an insurance man in New York that doesn’t know what a lraud you are.” Witness continued : “ The prisoner swindled me out of S3OO, and also swindled in tny poor creatures m the jail by promising to help them and getting tneir wou-.y and then never raising a linger in their behalf.” Guiteau shouted at witness : “Why, I would not spit on you on the street, you old scoundrel !' I’ll get some insurance men to show you up. You aie lying all tho way through, English, you old fraud.” Witness was asked if he ever detected anj signs of insanity in the prisoner, and replied *■ On the contrary, he was a remarkably clearheaded, shrewd lawyer. Ho completely outwitted me.” Warren G. Brown, attorney-at-law, New York, was c*u:isel lor Mrs. Guiteau in obtaining a divorce from the prisoner. Ho believed the latter perfectly sane. Guiteau (excitedly)—“l want to know CorkhiU, what all this kind of evidence has goi to do with the real issue—who tired tho snoi that Killed Garfield, the Deity or IV I think n is devilish mean to rake up my characier in all its details, Tne only issue here is, who hied that shot, tho Deity oi I. Just take that home, Corkbill, and think n over till to-morrpw morning. I want to know what all this has got to do with the question of my sanity or insanity on the 2d of July. As I told you before, 1 had time enough to go crazy a hundred times in the interval.” Senator Ben Harrison, of Indiana, was called, and testified to seeing the prisoner around Washington last spring, aud saw nothing in his conduct to raise a question iu his mind of the man’s sanity. D. McLean Shaw testified that Croteau told him he was bound to have uotoiiety some w iy or other. He-fuiykt kill some big man aud ini* itate Wilkisßootn. Tho prisoner—l havo not known anything about this man Shaw for eight years ; but when he repeats this kiud of testimony I say to him : “You are a liar ! a low, dirty liar!” I never had that kind of .couY.rsation with you in my life, and you know it.

FRIGHTFUL CALAMITY.

Burning of the Hta* Theater, in Vienna* The burning of the Bing Theater, at Vienna, and the loss of nearly 700 lives, is one of the most appalling calamities of modern times. The fire originated on the stage. The curtain was still down at the time. The precise manner in which it started is not known. Some of those who were on the stage at the time, and who escaped, say that the fire was caused by the dropping of an oil-lamp among the scenery. Others assert that the fire came up from the engine-room, and was generated by the engine below the stage, which was supplying the theater with electric lights. However it was, when the flames made their appearance they did so so saudenly and were in such alarming proportions as to tnrow the stage people into an instantaneous and thorough panic. The stage bad but one exit to the street, and for this narrowplaoe of egress the entire 200 rushed. The flames were between the curtain sud this door, and this iact was the cause which prevented any oue trying to escape to the body of the house. No one on the stage was bold enough to face the flames in that direction, and so the great audience had no one to duly notify them of the tumble danger from which most of them might have escaped, had they neen warned in mneAt the stage ex t the actors got jammed and tne door was literally plugged up with human bodies, and it is believed that most of the number were burned to death. During all this time the flames were having it all their own way among the tinder on the stage. There was m the theater an iron curtain, which, when down, completely severed tb® stage from the audience. This iron curtaiu was up, and in tne panic on the stage was forgotten or cut off from approach by the flames. When tho fire behind tne drop became great enough to be seen through the painted fabric by the audience, they uaturallv supposed it the result ol the stage experiment with a calcium to be used during the bailet, and paid no further attention to it The flames attacked the dropcurtain from all points simultaneously, and it seemed to instantly disappear and the whole auditorium was in a thought’s time in the complete grasp of the fire, which spread like one vast sheet of lightning in a hurricane. What followed is indescribable. The people became demented aud fell upon one another like wild beasts. Some few got into the passages, but the hall was dark. Both gas and the electric lights were cut off. In the midst of all this terror, the noise of a terrible explosion showed that the gas tank had burst, and this time the flames burst through the roof and through most of tho windows, and the entire space between the walls of the large building was like a vast furnace in white heat, with living human bodies for coals. The sight attracted the whole town to the scene, and thoughtful people took thither elotoes, rope, ladders and axes. The great Turners’ fire brigade was soon at the theater and as sumed charge of the life-saving operations. By actual count it was ten minutes from the time the fire had possession of the auditorium before a single life was saved by outside assistance, and during all this time the people within the furnace were either burning up or trampliug one another to death. Men and women, crazed with heat and demented with the prospect before them, destroyed themselves by leaping ffom the front seats of the galleries into the seething abyss below. Up to this time none escaped except tho few wbo got from the stage, tne fewer who managed to stumble out through the darkened passage-ways from the pit to the street, aud tne few who dropped from the winnows of the first floor above the pit into the street. The Turners began at once knocking in the walls around the exits and dragging out the bodies piled thereby. In this way they managed to save several lives, but the flames soon drove tnem away from the walls. The sturdy follows then organized a blanket service and invited those at the windows on the high first floor to jump. Fifty persons answered the invitations, and the Turners caught every one of the entire fifty in outstretched blankets and saved them without mjury. There were no windows in the street walls higher than this first floor, aud it is hardly a matter of doubt that every occupant of the galleries was burned to death. When the fiftieth person had been rescued by the blanket service tho whole building was a mass of white fire, so hot that no near approach was possiblo. Alter that no hnman being got outside the walls, and the assembled crowds, vast iu number, were compelled to stand around and witness the most appalling and heart-rending scene of modern times. Bodies could be seou falling from the upper floors into the white lire below—some still and limp, as if lifeless, others in the wildest movements of agony. One was teen as if plunged from the highest part of the house. It was that of a man. and he fell headforemost, both arms crushed under the face. A Vienna dispatch of the 9th inst. says: Researches show that the upper gallery mubt have fallen into the pit, where the only remains found are small fragments of bones. Beyond a doubt 500 gallery tickets had been issued. Only 100 of these are known to have jumped from windows, and competent judges fear the loss of life will be found to be fully 700.

DOINGS OF CONGRESS.

The Senate convened at noon of Monday ec. 5, and was called to order bv Acting Vi.» e-ident Davis. William Windoui was dul diifi"d as Senator from Minnesota.

The bill is in tin ntme of a substitute for the Eaton bill last session. Mr. Lapham introducer bill providing for the punishment oi atnipis on the )ite of the President of tin n ted States, or others charged with ti e du- ■ -i of President, punishment on convct on to t- imprisonment for lite in solitary contimi nt or at hard labor in the discretion of the iurt.

Cue House was called to order at noou by Clerk Adam 3. The roll call showed that only deasrs. Morey, Scales,Mills and Deuster were absent. A ballot for Speaker resulted in 148 votes for Keifer, 129 for Randall, and 8 for Ford, ibjectious were made to the swearing in of even members, among them Chalmers of Mis--iasippi and Dibblo of South Carolina, but all <vere finally admitted,the objections being withrawn. As soon as all tbo members were worn in. tbe Republican caucus nominees for House officers were sworn in. A number of bills were introduced in the Senate on the 6th inst., including one by Mr. [ngalls granting the franking privilege to Mrs. Garfield; ono by Mr. Pendleton to improve the civil service, and to prevent extortion, coercion and bribery by persons in tho public service; and one by Mr. Saunders admitting Dakota as a State. Sir. Edmunds’ resolution continuing the Senate committees of last session was passed, Mr. Davis voting with the Republicans for the resolution. He made a speech defining his position. Ho said ho thought it only proper that the party responsible for the legislation should have a majority of the committees. He announced liis intention to vote for tbe present Seuale officers, all Democrats, thus dividing his influence. Mr. Davis denied the charge that he had sold out to the Republican party; said that he would support the administration when it was right, and oppose it when it was wrong, and that he would strivo to bring about a more cordial union between North and South. In the House, the drawing of seats and the reading of the message occupied the session, and an adjournment wa, voted till Friday, the 9th. On the meeting of the Senate on Wednesday, Dec. 7, Senators Sherman, Pendleton, Dawes, Lapham, Bayard and Morgan were appointed by the chair ou tho joint oommittee for the preparation of a memorial upon the death of the late President Garfield.

H. Smith, of Pennsylvania, was appointed Chairman of the Committee on Mileage. An adjournment to Tuesday, the 13th, was taken.

Selected Miscellany.

No principle is more noble, there is none more holy, than that of true obedience. The praises of others may be of use in teaching us, not what we are, but what we ought to be. Not a mother, not a father, nor any other relative, will do so much for us as a well-directed mind. No man was born wise; but wisdom and virtue require a tutor, though ive cap easily learn to be vicious without u teacher. A good temper, like a summer day, is the sweetener and soother of disquietude. It sheds a brightness over everything. He who is false to the present duty breaks a thread in the loom, and will see the effect when the weaving of a life-time is unravelled. Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many, not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.—Charles Dickens. Earnestness is the path to immortality, thoughtlessness the path to death. Those who are in earnest do not die; those who are thoughtless are as if dead already, A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against and not with the wind. Even a head wind is better than none. No man ever worked his passage anywhere in a dead calm. Hearts, more or less, I suppose, most of us have, but we keep them so closecased and padlocked—we wear an outside so hard or dry— that little or none of the love that may be within, escapes to gladden those around us. And so life passes without any of the sweetening to society that comes when affection is not only felt, but expressed.

TO CONSUMPTIVES.

“ Golden Medical Discovery ” is a concentrated, potent alterative, or blood-cleansing remedy, that wins golden opinions from all who use it for any humor, from the common pimple, blotch or eruption to the formidable scrofulous swelling or ulcer. Internal lever, soreness and ulceration yield to its benign iuiluences. Consumption, which is but a scrofulous affection of the lungs, may, in its early stages, be cured by a free use of this Godgiven remedy. Seo arlicle on consumption and its treatment in Part 111. of the World’s Dispensary Dime Series of pamphlets, co.-tw two stumps, poslpaid. Address \\ oßnn’s Dispensa by Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y. George Schmidt was playing card with the widow Smith in Cleveland. Gazing with a sudden assumption o! amazement and delight at a particular card, he declared that he saw in it tli fact that $75,000 was buried in the back yard. Then he pretended to selfishly regret that he had imparted the secret to the widow, which made her eager to share in the treasure, and enabled him to get SIOO from her for the cost of the proposed digging. This was m; rely a preliminary experiment by Schmidt. A few days later he swindled the widow Kneiss out of S6OO in the same manner.

“The laßt time I saw Miss X,” said a nobleman, speaking of a well-known actress to a witty dramatist, “was at a morning performance, and she had grown so stout that she almost filled the box. “O, that’s nothing!” said the ready playwright. “There was a time when she tilled the theatre."

Bogus Certificates.

It is no viie drugged stuff, pretending to be made of wonderful foreign roots, barks, etc., and puffed up by long bogus certificates of pretended miraculous cures, but a simple, pure, effective medicine, made of well-known valuable remedies, that furnishes its own certificates by its cures. We refer to Hop Bitters, the purest and best of medicines. Bee another column.— Rtpubiican. If a man declares himself to be so thoroughly religious that ho has not committed a sin for twenty years, you are safe hr concluding that he does not regard lying as sinful.
