PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. THB SENATE. Routine lluslness— Debate on Ratification of the Nicaraguan Treaty. Washington, Jan. 28. —Soveral messages from the President were laid before the Senate, transmitting information heretofore called for regarding the landing of foreign cables in the United States, the awards of the Venezuelan mixed commission, and the* status of the Oklahoma lands, which lands, the President maintains, cannot’, under existing treaties, be opened for settlement.

Mr. Hoar, from the judieiary committee, reported back, adversely, House bill to amend the Pacific railroad sinking fund act, and at the same time reported, with recommendation for passage, anew bill, “To provide for settlement of claims growing out of the issue of bonds to aid in the construction of the Pacific railways, and to secure to the United States payment of all their indebtedness.” The Senate ordered the printing, in pamphlet form, of 1,000 copies of the House bill, the Senate committee’s substitute, and the aceompanyingreport Witnout transacting other business the Senate went into executive session. At 7:30 p. m. the doors were opened, and the Senate adjourned. The Senate closed its doors and resumed consideration of the Nicaraguan treaty at 12:30 today. Senator Sherman modified his amendment, introduced several days ago, relating to discrimination which may be made in charges for use of the canal. As the amendment now stands, discrimination may be only made in favor of the coastwise trade of Nicaragua, Senator Vance made a formal speech, arguing that the Clayton Bulwer treaty was still an obstacle to ratification of the Nicaraguan treaty, and he offered a motion that further action bo postpoaed until aiter the 4th of March. This motion was the subject of a long debate. Senators Bayard and Saulsbury, and others upon the Democratic side, spoke in favor of the motion. and Senators Morgan, Lapham, Conger and Miller, of California, oppesed it. A motion to adjourn was made at 5 o’clock and defeated. At 7p. m. the question of postponement was put to vote, and half an hour was consumed in efforts to secure a quorum. The absentees were sent for, but pending a vote, another motion to adjourn was made at 7:30, and carried. ■s*" THE HOUSE. A Feeble Attempt to Secure the Passage of a Bill Forfeiting a Land Grant.* Washington, Jan. 28.—Mr. Clay, from the committee on presidential laws, reported a concorrent resolution providing that the two houses shall assemble in the hall of the House, at noon, on the 11th of February, 1885, pursuant to the requirements of the Constitution and laws relative to election of President and Vice president of the United States, and the president of the Senate shall be the presiding officer: that one person shall bo appointed teller on the part of the Senate, and two as tellers on the purt of the House, to make a list of votes as they shall be declared; that the result shall be delivered to the president of the Senate, who shall annonnee the state of the vote and the persons elected by the two houses assembled, as aforesaid, which shall be deemed a declaration of the persons elected President and Vice-president. Mr. Reed made a point of order that the sub-ject-matter of the resolution had never been referred to a committee, and the point having been sustained by the Speaker, Mr. Clay asked leave to have it referred. To this Mr. Reed objected, in order that he might have opportunity to examine the resolution. The following bills were introduced and referred: By Mr. Curtain: appropriating $25,000 for experiments with American made steel armor for Baval vessels. By Mr. Patton: To promote the efficiency of the army by the voluntary retirement of officers who entered the service during the late war. Mr. Pago offered a resolution reciting that no official notification had been made to the House of the resignation of J. 8. Robinson, now Secretary of State of Ohio, as representative from the Ninth District of Ohio, and directing the oonamittee on elections to investigate and report upon the status of Mr. Robinson as a member of this House. Adopted. Mr. Slocum, from the committee on military affairs, reported back the resolution requesting the President to transmit to the House a copy of the recent appeal of Fitz John Porter, together with accompanying papers. Mr. Steele moved to lay the resolution on the table. Lost—s 9to 116—and the resolution was then passed—yeas 179, nays 77. The Speaker laid before the House a message from the President transmitting a communication from the Secretary of the Navy recommending action by the government in recognition of services, official and personal, extended in Russia to the survivors of the Jeannette, and to the search parties subsequently to Siberia. Re ferred. Mr. Holman presented the conference report on the six months naval appropriation bill, which was agreed to. Mr. Cox, of North Carolina, presented the credentials of J. W. Reed as member-elect from the Fifth district of North Carolina, to succeed A M. Scales, and Mr. Reed took the oath of office. The morning hour was dispensed with, and Mr. Hewitt, of New York, moved that the House go Into committee of the whole for the purpose of aonsidering the bill to carry into effect the Mexican treaty. Lost —yeas 81, nays 15. A contest then arose as to the precedence of business. Mr. Singleton pressed the library bill, Mr. Townsend presented the claims of the Mexican pension bill. Mr. Stockslager thought the public buildings measures entitled to consideration. Mr. Hunt suggested it was time the House should take action on the bill for encouragement of the American merchant marine, whieh had been a special order for nearly a year, and Mr. Henley wished to take up the Northern Pacific land forfeiture. On motion of Mr. Henley the House proceeded —yeas 139, nays 105—to consider the land grant hills on the calendar. The first bill on the cal endar was one to declare the forfeit of certain land in Michigan granted in aid of construction of railways. The question of consideration 'raised, and the House refused —yeas 83, nays 162 to consider the bill. A similar question was raised against the next bill to forfeit the Marquette and Ontonagon land grant, and the House refused —yeas 80, nays 161 —to consider this measure, Mr. Willis, from the committee on rivers and harbors, reported the river and harbor appropriation bill, which was referred to the committee on rivers and harbors. In committee of the whole Mr. McComas offered a resolution, which was adopted, reciting that Julius R. Santos, an American citizen, who was lung an instructor in the University of Virginia—but recently a merchant. in Bahia, had been imprisoned In that country since Nov. 8, 1884, for alleged complicity in rebellion; his speedy execution is apprehended, and it is alleged that he is innocent, and the resolution desires the Secretary of State to inform the House what measures have boon taken and what further action he intends to take to secure his release or the speedy trial of Santos. Mr. Van Raton then submitted various fillibustoriog motions to adjourn, to adjourn over And to take a recess, and several roll-calls were taken. During one of the calls Mr. Bland asked if it would be in order to road the platforms prepared at both the Republican and Democratic national Conventions, and especially the plank. 'Which declared in favor of forfeiture of unearned land grant*. Finally, after successive roll-calls, the House adjourned. Charge* Against Bank Officials. PaTBSSBUfto, Va-, Jan. 28. —The Hustings Court, Judge Mann presiding, was engaged today in the trial of W. W. Whyte, late teller of the Planters’ aud Mechanis’ Bank, indicted for making three fraudulent entries on the teller’s book. The jury, after a brief absence, reported their inability to agree, and they were placed in charge of the sheriff. The cases of the Commonwealth against J. T. Young, president of the Planters’ and Mechanics’ Bank; H. B. Parker, yLoe presideat, aud Jobu C. Drake, director, in-

dicted for misdemeanor, have been set for trial to-morrow. The charge against them is conspiracy to conceal the true condition of the bank in the statements submitted to the stockholders at their meetings. HORATIO SEYMOUR. His Estimate of Cleveland and the Outlook for the New Administration. Albany, N. Y., Jan. 28. President-elect Cleveland is back from Buffalo, and the political pilgrims again begin to visit the Democratic shrine at his temporary residence on Willet street. The distinguished gentleman was recently visited by a venerable politician, Colonel Thomas Dunlap, of New York —one who has seen very many changes in public life during nearly half a century. He is also intimately acquainted with hosts of leading men in the State and Nation. Colonel Dunlap fell into the hands of a newspaper man while here. He was on his way home from Utica, where he. had .seen and conversed for a long time with ex-Governor Horatio Seymour. The conversation between these two men, as narrated by Colonel Dunlap, was important and interesting. He represents the Sage of Deerfield, who ha3 now passed his seventy-fifth birthday, as somewhat oppressed by the weight of years, but upon the whole enjoying good average health and spirits. He is thankful that he has been spared to see the final triumph of the Democratic party in the late presidential election, and expresses entire confidence in Mr. Cleveland and his policy. “What,” Colonel Dunlap was asked, “is his general idea of the President-elect” “He looks upon Mr. Cleveland as a big brainy man, conservative in his opinions and likely to bo found equal to any emergency. If care and discretion be exercised in the important point of selecting his Cabinet, his administration will be not only a successful but a brilliant one. Mr. Seymour, however, fears that too much will be expected Os the President at the outset of his official term, and some disappointment may be I expressed from the impossibility of making radical changes immediately. It will take time to assimilate the entire executive force of the country to tbo views and designs of the new regime. This, however, will be facilitated by the result of the investigation which must be made into the doings of the Republican officials who have held power so long. “Irregularities of every nature may be expected to be found in every branch of the public service, and, in some, notorious corruption has run rampant When the books are overhauled, as they must be, such wrong-doing as may be found will be punished by the removal of the wrong doers. The public, remarked Mr. Seymour, must be made to realize that we have a clean government. In harmony with this purpose, too, the civil laws must be respected. It is Mr. Seymour’s opinion that an opportunity is now opened to the Democratic party to identify itself closely with the future of this country, to direct its destiuies, and to carry on the government lu accordance with the traditions of its great leaders, Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson.” “What are the views of Mr. Seymour upon the tariff queston?” *? “Ho thinks the question must be squarely met aud dealt with, and that its settlement will form one of the features of tho coming presidential term. Agricultural, as well as manufacturing and commercial interests must be considered. For instance, the great Northwest must find the market which it demands for its products, for without reciprocacy of foreign trade it will find itself without an outlet for them, and the strength of this local feeling was shown by a large Western vote at the recent election. Mr. Seymour believes it possible to equalize the interests of different sections and earnestly desires it. “The subsidies given by the government in the shape of public lands aud otnerwise to railroad corporations, he also thinks, require attention. In every case the recipients ought to be compelled to live up their contracts; they should be taught thit they are the servants rather than the masters of great popular interest*. The Governor favors emphatically a ship canal from the lakes to the Hudson river, since the demands of commerce have outgrown the demands ot the Erie canal. In this connection he expressed a hope for the control of the isthmian canal by our Own countrymen.”

MASONIC NON-INTERCOURSE. Edict of the Grand Master of Quebec Against the Grand Lodge of England. Toronto, Ont., Jan. 28, —Great interest is taken in Masonic circles here over the action of the Grand Master of Quebec in issuing an edict of non-intercourse against the Grand Lodge of England. While the sympathies of the craft here are openly extended to the Grand Lodge of Quebec, it is admitted that the English lodges now working in Montreal are perfectly legal, and exist by virtue of a concordat made by Lord Zetland, representing the Grand Lodge of England, and Grand Master Wilson, of the Grand Lodge of Canada. This concordat was honorably observed by both the grand bodies of England and Canada until the formation of the Grand Lodge of Quebec. Latterly this body found its dignity hurt and its jurisdiction menaced by the existence of the English lodges, and petition after petition has been sent to the Prince of Wales requesting the withdrawal of the warrants. After much correspondence tho Grand Lodge of England unanimously refused to accede to the request of Quebec; hence Grand Master Johnson's edict. All interest centers in the approaching meeting of the Grand Lodge of Quebec, which opens at Montreal to-morrow, when the edict of non-intercourse will be discussed. Just now it seems as if the Grand Lodge of 'Canada will bo drawn into the fight along with the majority of American Grand Lodges. In the event of the Grand Lodge of Canada taking the Quebec side of the quarrel, it is said the Prince of Wales will authorize the chartering of English lodges in Ontario. At preseut all is conjecture as to the course that will be pursued by American grand bodies, but already a number ot Grand Masters have telegraphed their approval of Quebec’s position to Grand Master Johnson. THE BASE-BALL CONFERENCE. All Differences Adjusted, and Good Feeling Entirely Restored. % New York, Jan. 28.—The conference committees appointed by the National Base Ball League and the American Association, to adjust all difficulties between the two bodies, and fill the vacancy iu tho League caused by the resignation Os tho Cleveland club, met to-d<*y. Owing so the snow blockades, the American delegates did not arrive uutil late in the afternoon. A. H. Sodon, of Boston; J. E. Allen, of Providence, and J. B. Day. of New York, represented the League, and President McKnight, William Barnie, of Baltimore, and C. H. Byrne, of Brooklyn, the American association. President McKnight reported that at a meeting of the association at Pittsburg, yesterday, that it was agreed that St Louis should have a League club. The conference thereupon resolved that the American Associashould be allowed to locate a club in Chicago whenever it desired to do so. It was also recommended that at the spring meetings of the two organizations a committee of three be appointed by each to act in conferenee on any dispute. There was a general feeling of thanksgiving that the national agreement had not been broken, and that good feeling between the organizations is likely to continue. The First Keen Twinge. As the season advances, the pains and aches by which rheumatism makes itself known, are experienced after every exposure. It is not claimed that Hood's Sarsaparilla is a specific for rheumatism—we doubt if there is, or can be, such aremedy. But the thousands benefited by HoodUßrsaparilia, warrant us in urging others who stiff er from rheumatism to take it before the first keen twinge.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1885.

NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE. The Sixteenth Animal Session Officers Chosen for the Ensuing Year. Washington, Jan. 28.— The National Board of Trade assembled in this city to day for its sixteenth anuual session, Frederick Fraley, gs Philadelphia, presiding. About forty delegates are present, representing the Baltimore corn aud flour exchange, the boards of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Portland, Oregon, and Trenton; tho Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, the Boston Merchants’ Association, the New York Chamber of Commerce, and the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. The annual report of the executive council was read. It refers specially to the depression in tho industrial interests of the country, the shrinkage of values, the unprofitable character of production in many branches of manufactures, and the general uncertainty of the markets. It states, however, that there are signs that this present period of depression, uncertainty and loss is about to give way to one of revived activity and enterprise. The report deals also with the questions of fictitious bills of lading, bankruptcy legislation, interstate commerce, relief for American shipping, reciprocal trade with Canada, amendments to the national hanking law, and the foreign commercial relations of the United States. Following the reading of tho report, on motion of S. F. Covington, of Cincinnati, the constitution of the board was amended so as to provide for the annual election of one vice-president for every constituent body represented at the meetings of the board. The board then organized for .the ensuing year by the re-election of Frederick Fraley as president and the election, among others, of the following vice-presidents: George M. Howe, of the Chicago Board of Trade; S. F. Covington, of Commerce; Phil O. Parsons, Detroit Board of Trade; John H. Holladay, Indianapolis Board of Trade; C. M. Lorine, Minneapolis board of Trade; Hon. John F. Miller, San Francisco Chamber of Commere; E. P. Bateman, Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce, and Hon. D. M. Sabin, St. Paul Board of Trade. Following tne election of officers the question of amendment of the present laws in relation to bills of lading was taken up and discussed at great length. Mr. Higgins, of the New York Chamber of Commerce, asked the board to adopt the following resolution, submitted by that chamber: “Resolved. That the passage of House bill No. 71(53, reported by Mr. Long, of the committee on commerce, to regulate the forms of bills of lading, and the duties and liabilities of ship-owners and others, is demanded by the urgent necessities of commerce.” Mr. Milne, of Chicago, pointed out that the provisions of the bill applied only to liability of ocean carriers. He asked if it could not be amended so to as to include within its provisions bills of lading originating in the interior of the country, and given shippers of through freight. He said the largest portion of the cargoes shipped from New York consisted of this class of freight Mr. Higgins expressed a fear that to attempt to amend tho bill now would imperil its passage, and might lose to them the advantages gained by a year’s work upon it. Messrs. Blake and Nelson, of Chicago; Covington, of Cincinnati, and Mullen, of Portland, Ore., took the same ground as that taken by Mr. Milne. They expressed themselves in favor of the bill, but wanted it amended so as to protect western shipping interests. Mr. Covington said the passage of the bill in its present shape would practically invite Western river carriers of freight to put into their bills of lading the objectionable features put in such bills by ocean carriers. In answer to a suggestion by Mr. Higgins that Western river ship-owners are under the control of this government, and that shippers could have recourse to the United States courts if imposed upon, Mr. Covington said the courts are falling under the influence of the carriers, and particularly of railroad men, and that shippers are fast losing all their rights. Mr. Blake—lt is the opinion of the Chicago delegation that the bill is sectional; that it proposes to confer benefits upon shippers at seaboard ports that inland shippers cannot take advantage of. He said the board is not in session for the purpose of recommending sectional legislation. * Mr. Higgins defended the action of tne New York Chamber of commerce in recommending the bill, and denied that they were seeking to obtain sectional legislation. They have sought, he said, to secure such legislation to remove certain burdens under which the merchants of the seaboard labor,tand they have not found Western men laboring with Congress to secure the enactment of the legislation which they now ask should be incorporated in the bill, on which the Chamber of Commerce had worked with Congress for two years. Mr. Snow, of New York, argued in favor of adoption of the resolution as recommended by the Chamber of Commerce, without amendments, which would delay the progress of the bill, which was now in a forward state before Congress. After a long and animated discussion the Western men consented to the adoption of the resolution, with the understanding that another resolution, looking to protection of their interests, should come up for action. This second resolution was, after several attempts to frame a suitable one, finally drafted and agreed to unanimously. It is as follows: Resolved, That this board favors further legislation which will extend to inland carriers the principles of house bill 7163, to regulate the form of bills of lading. Resolutions in favor of the enactment of a national bankruptcy law from the Philadelphia, Providence, New York and Bridgeport Boards of Trade, and the New York Chamber of Commerce, which were on the official programme for consideration, were referred for further consideration to a committee consisting of Messrs. Janney, Miller, Nelson, Wood and Gymond. It was arranged to have a banquet to-morrow night. Adjourned until to-morrow.

NO BRIDEGROOM CAME. While Bride, Priest and Guests Waited, the Groom Decamped with Funds. ! Dayton, Jan., 28.— A sensation was developed here to-day. James E. Taylor, a commercial drummer employed by Allen & Cos., paper dealers, was engaged to marry Mary Btefin, a charming and well-known young lady. The wedding was arranged and all preparations were made, but no marriage was solemnized. They were to have been married in the Holy Trinity Church, but as they did not arrive on time, and as was people, the priest said mass, contrary to custom. £*MitTaliy takes place after the marriage. t When the services were over, and the OouplS had not yet arrived, the congregation was dismissed and the church doors were locked. All this while the bride sat at home robed in her while and orange colored bridal attire, awaiting the bridegroom; but minutes multiplied into hours, and still he did not appear. Day finally gave way to night, and night to day again, and still the expected benedict was non est. Inquiry of his employers revealed the fact that the prospective husband had gone forth to the customers of the house for which he was employed, collected all the money he could get hold of, a large sum, and bade this section of the country farewell. At the hotel where he boarded, he left a souvenir in the shape of an empty trunk. He came here from Piqua, 0., several years ago. His family still live there. The matter has created much excitement here, where the young lady especially is favorably known. This morning she left home, determined to find aim, if possible. An Archbishop Resigns. San Francisco, Jan. 28.—Archbishop Alemany has resigned his see, and his resignation has been accepted by the Pope. Arohbishop Riordan succeeds him. Ex-Governor Moses Again In JalL. Boston, Jan. 28. —Detectives returned from Detroit to-day, having in custody ex-Governor Moses, of South Carolina, who is wanted in Cambridge for obtaining money by false pretenses from Colonel T. W. Higginsoo. Moses

obtained $34 from Colenel Higginson by representing himself as a lawyer by the name of Byram, who had been robbed while returning from Canada. The prisoner was committed to jaiL A MISSING EDITOR. Disappearance of S. S. Conant, Managing Editor of Harper 8 Weekly. Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 28.—1 t has just been discovered that the whole force of the Pinkerton Agency has been for more than a week engaged in a vain effort to trace one of the most startling and remarkable cases of mysterious disappearance that ha3 been known for years. Not only in this city, but in all the large cities in the country, they have been making the moat diligent search to discover what has become of S. S. Couant, who has for the last fifteen years been the managing editor of Harper's Weekly, and the circumstances of his sudden dropping out have aroused the gravest apprehensions on the part of his friends and relatives. One week ago, Friday, without any explanation or without any reason therefor known to any one, he tendered his resignation as managing editor of Harper’s Weekly, to take effect at once, and left the office immediately. He has not since been seen by any one of his family or friends. On Wednesday last the following personal was inserted in the Herald, but it has not as yet brought any response: “To 8. 8. (J.: “Asa friend and a brother, I earnestly ask you to come home. H. and T. are both sick from grief and anxiety. If you communicate with mo, any trouble will easily be arranged. R. R. “Box 509, Postofiice.” Since the fact of Mr. Conan t’s strange action has become known to some of his intimate friends, they say it has been discovered that he was seen three times since the day of his resignation, but not within the past week. It has also been learned that he bought a ticket for Florida, but the ticket was never presented. No reason whatever is alleged for his resignation, which was as much a surprise to the Harpers as to any one else, for he had filled the important position which he heid for fifteen years without any strain whatever upon the relations between himself and the house. Mr. Conant began on the New York Times as a reporter, in 1862, and rose through the different positions of night city editor, news editor, night editor and managing editor. He held the latter at the time of Hesry J. Raymond’s death, and it was thought at the time that he resigned because he was not advanced to be editor of the paper. He went from the Times to Harper’s Weekly and to the place which he resigned so suddenly twelve days ago. A BIG DEMOCRATIC PICNIC. Cleveland Will Stay in Baltimore tlie Day Before the Inauguration. Baltimore, Jan. 28.—Rooms have been en gaged at the Mount Vernon Hotel for Presidentelect Cleveland, who will spend March 3 in this city, preparatory to the inauguration on tho day following, in Washington. The rooms chosen are the blue suite, the handsomest in the house, aud it is proposed to make his stay here as pleasant as possible. No visitors will be admits ted except those he wishes to see, and it is understood that none of the Baltimore Democracy who are anxious to serve their country will be invited to call. Many of the city hotels have agreed to furnish rooms to people from other cities who are going to the inauguration, and who think it. is better to avoid the crowd at the capital as far as possible. A number of military organizations have also engaged rooms at Baltimore hotels. The travel to Washington on March 4 promises to be almost unprecedented. A party is now being made up to charter a steamer to go to Washington the night before, and remain there till the night after. Altogether, it would seem that Cleveland’s inauguration is going to be one of the biggest Democratic.picnics ever seen in this country.

NOW, WHAT NEXT? Miss Agnes Booth to Place the Sacred Drama on the Stage With a Corps de Ballet* Louisville Courier-Journal. A petite blonde, with a thoughtful face, well- • chiseled features, dressed soberly iu a gray walking 3uit, entered the parlor of the St. Cloud yesterday. On the register in the office below was traced in a delicate hand-writiug, “Agnes Booth, London, England.” “You arua daughter of Gen. William Booth, the originator of the Salvation Army, I believe?" inquired a reporter. “Yes,” answered the blonde, “and am traveling through this country organizing a special army of sisters in the good work of saving souls. I shall visit St Louis, Chicago and other large cities. I shall only stay here a few hours. The work is rather an arduous undertaking, but I trust that by the aid of divine strength I shall make my way through. As my plan is anew one, my brother at first expected to assist mo, but he was hindered by other work which he was called to do on the continent. “The arrangements that wo expect to make will leave very few subterfuges for the sinner. Papa prepared the plan, and it implies a work undertaken entirely by women. It will combine some dramatic features, and girls of the ballet will be in demand.” “The unconverted ballet?” was asked. “Well, not exactly unconverted. If they believe in the Savior, and are not engaged iu their wicked work, wo will admit them. “What are the details of your plan?" “Simply to organize a regiment of fjirls in every city who will bo trained in aaored dramatic matters, and introduce features Ithat.will offset the low charms of the variety houses and the saloons. We will commence in St Louis some time during next month. How soon I can not say." “Will you retain the musical feature at your exercises?” “Certainly; only It will be rendered more efficient by the formation of an orchestra, which we expect to be made up simply of scientific persons, girls who have devoted their lives to the Savior. Already we are getting together pieces of soenery which we think would be adapted to the solemn scenes of Calvary. This will be fighting the devil right in his very own oitadel." “You will rely on this dramatio feature solely for your success?" w as asked. ■‘We do not rely on our own strength. But we think this dramatic feature is a means which will be blessed in the accomplishment of our purpose." “Have you ever tried the dramatic plan?" “Yfcs. in White Chapel in London we have some thirty girls—ten of them were connected with the Standard Theatre as ‘helps’ at one time —twice a week in a variety aud give performances. Mr - Morse ** bis lifetime furnished papa with a sketwi} or the play. “What is the play?" '* ‘The Triumph of God In the Soul.’ It is a sort of allegory. The stage dresses were furnished from a leading lady connected with a theater in Islington. The company goes also to Camberwell, Blackwaii and the vicinity of Victoria Park. There are a dozen or more different characters. The first night’s performance was given to a yery crowded house; in fact it was packed. We find the people come in all kinds of weather.” “Do you expect to organize the Amerlcau companies on the London plan?" “Yes, with this difference. We shall charge a small price of admission, say five cents. There will be no reserved seats. Os course if the people have no money they will be admitted free. Judging of the future by the past, we think of course that as these plays have proved a success in London they will also meet with respect here.” CnmsTTAN forbearance is a virtue,'but there are times when forbearance ceases to be a virtue. Especially is this so where people will continue suffering from afflictions which proper treatment would cure. There is no more distressing ailment than piles, but it will be found to yield readily to Mishlers’s Herb Bitters. A lady of Lancaster, Pa., writes, “I take great pleasure in saying I have been entirely cured of piles, with which I was afflicted for seveu years, by the use of your hitters.
