A MEDICINE, NOT A DRINK.

Internal Kev. Washington, D. C, Sept. 24, 1SS1. Dear Sir Why don't you get a certiScate from Col. W. II. W., of Baltimore, stowitg how he cirei himself of drunkenness by the help of Hop Bitters. His is a vcnderful case. He is well known iu Koch ester, N. Y., by all the drinking oeop!e there. He is known in this city, Cincinnati. New Orleans, New York; in fact all CTer the country, as he has spent thousands of dolJass far rum. I honestly believe his card would be worth thoucan is of dollars to you in tHs city and Baltimore alone, and make thousands of sober men by inducing the use of your bitters. J. A. W. Prejudice Kills. "Eleven years our daughter suffered on a bed of misery under the care of several of the best physicians, who gave her disease Tarioua names bat no relief, and now she la restored to us in good health by Hop Bitters, that we bad poobed at two years before using it. We earnestly hope and pr-iy that no one else will let their sick sorter as we did, on account of prej ad Ice aeaiost sa good a medicine as Hop Bitters." The Parents Good Templars. Miltoit, Del , Feb. 10. ISSG. Having usd II op Bitters, the noted remedy for debility, nervousness, indigestion, etc., I have no htsitation in saying that it is indeed an excellent medicine and recommend it to any one as a truly tonic bitters. Keepectfully, KEY. MRS. J, H. ELLGOOD. Scirio, X. Y., Dec 1, 1SS4. I am the pastor of the Baptist Church here and an educated physician. I am not in practice, but am my sole family physician, and advise in chronic cases. Over a year ao I recommended your Hop Bitters to my invalid wife, who has been un ier medical treatment of Albany's best phyaicians several yr ars. She has ben greatly beoetittel and still uses the medicine. I believe she will become thoroughly cured of her various complicated diseases by their use. We b Jth recommend theru to our friends, man y of whom have also been cured of their various ailments by them. REV. E. R. WARREN'. Cured of Drinking. "A young friend of mine was cured of an insatiable thirst for liquor tha: had so prostrated Lis system that "e wis enable to do any bnsines. He ws entirely cured by the ose of Hop Bitters. It alli ed a!l tfcat ouriiDg thirst ; took away the appetite for liqu r ; made bis nerves steady ; and he has remained a fcitady and sober man for more than two years, and tjaa no deire to return to his cap, and I know of a number of others that Lave be n enred of drinkicg by it." From a leading R R Official, Caiceo. IH. yes ü Or E!ack Leproy, is a dleae which is considered Incurable, but it has yielded to the curative properties of fiwirr'a Srzcmc now known a'l over the jworld as S. S. S. ilrs. Bailey, of West SoraervUie, lass.; near Boston, was attacked several years aso (Willi this hideous black eruption, and was treated by the test medical talent, who could only say that the diieaje was a species ot LEPROSYcd congcqnenily incurable. It Is' Impossible to describe her eufier.ns. Her body from the crown of her hcid to the soles of her feet was a mass of decay, masses flesh rotting off and leaving preat cavities. Her r-:er3 festered and three or four nails dropped eff at one time. Ucr limbs contracted by the fearful clceratioE. acd for feveral years she did not leave ha bed. ller weight was reduced from 125 to 60 lbs. Perhaps some faint idea of her condition can be leaned from the fact that three pounds of Coemone or ointment were used per week in dressing her fores. Finally the phyciciacs acknowledged their defeat by this Black VoIf, and commended the sufferer to her all-wise Creator. 1 - k Her husband hearing wonderful reports of the use ef bwirr's Specific IS. S. S.), prevailed on her to try it as a laet resort. She began Its nse under protest, but soon found that her system was being relieved cf the poison, as the sores assumed a red and kealihy color, as though the blood was becoming pure s.Td active. Mrs. Bailey continued the S. S. S. until I -.st February; every sore was healed; she discarded chair and crutches, and was for the first time fa twelve years a well woman. Her husband, Air. V. A.

SOME CAMPAIGN LIES

Refuted ly Unprejudiced Witnesses Before tie Sec&te's Instce Hospital Committes. Yr. Morten, the Mugwump, Admits That He Knours Notkiig Aboat the Iastitatioo, Although He Signed the Report of the Iadim Civil Service Commission. President Harrison, of the Board of Trustees, Makes a Strong Statement In Defense of His Conduct. The Committee of the Senate which is investigaticg the affairs of the Hospital for the Insane finished the examination of witnesses yesterday. James Hunt, who, for the past nineteen years, has been the batcher at the hospital, was positive that a sick hog had never been bntchered by him. He eaid that Superintendent Fletcher always examined the hogs before and after they were killed. He was of the opinion that the hogs that had died had been poisoned, as the neighbors did not like to have them kept on the farm, claiming that the smell was offensive. The food famished the inmates was good, mach better than he conld famish his family. The management of the institution kad been greatly improved under the present Board of Trustees; it was much superior to the Republican administration. Dr. r letcher was recalled, and stated that in his testimony before the House commit tee he had entirely forgotten the Vanchn check which had been turned over to him by Mr. Gapin, but he now remembered having received and cashed it. He did not fully remember whether be had ever re ceived any other money from Mr. Gapin or not. He was positive that a sick hog had never been slaughtered at the hospital. He bad always believed that some one had poisoned tbe hoes that died, and that none of them ever had cholera. The rent pa.d for the English farm, he thought, was not too high. Mr. j. rrancis uart, manager or tne Brooks Oil Company, who was reported by the Civil Service Commission as saying he had been discriminated against in the mit ter of the award of contracts, said that he had never made such a statement to the committee; that on one occasion when a bidder bad contracted to furnish Brooks' oils, and had not done so, the hospital people had purchased the oils of him and charged the lucky bidder with the difference in price. The statement of the Com mission teat be nad said tne bond naa called for grease that he had bid to furnish for 50 cents per pound, but bad taken grease that was worth but 15 cents per pound, was totally untrue, tie had never made such a statement or ever such a bid. He did bid 22 ceDts per pound for some grease, but some one else furnished It; he did not know at what price. The witness lecognized Mr. Oliver T. Morton, who was present, as cieofthe Commission wbo bad called upjn him, and tben misrepresented hi statement Mr. Morton, however, after changing color several times, denied haviBg been one of the persons who called npon Mr. Burt Mr. Morton, as a member of tne Indiana Civil Service Keform Association, which frame! the report used a9 a campaign document, was then placed on the stand. After some time consumed in refreshing his memory he stated that during his examination of the hospital all'airs be had altogether spent about four hours at tbe institution. He had never attempted to disprove the grave charges made; had never as much as given the persons charged with tbe ofienses named in tbe report a chance to defend themselves; he had a personal knowledge of but few of tbe charges contained in the report, although he had signed it, helped pey for its publication out of his own pocket, and had used it as a text in nearly all of the speeches delivered by him during the last campaign. In answer to Mr. Burrell, one of the trustees, Mr. Morton denied that the association had been instrumental in securing the scandalous publications in tbe Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette just before tbe election. Dr. A, J. Thomas, Assistant Physician and Assistant Superintendent, said that he bad been connected with the institution for eight years. It was now in much better condition than under the Hodgers administration. He had visited a large number of like institutions and was confident that this was the best hospital in the country. The food was good and well cooked ; the sanitary condition of the hospital perfect and tbe inmates kindly and well-taken care of. Dr. Fletcher had the entire management of the institution, not in any way being hampered by the board of trustees. During the past four years Mr. Lindley Vinton and wife had spent about a year at the hospital as guests. Mr. J. S. Hall, store-keeper at the hospital, said he had never seen any butter with maggots in It. On one occasion he had been sent a lot of butter by a man named Kraass, which had skippers in it, and he promptly returned it. He never knew of any butter of that description being placed on the tables. He had refused butter from Sullivan, Jordan, Budd and others; was under no obligations to any one who had ever secured a contract ; always compelled contractors to furnish the goods called for in their contracts. Mr. Roth was recalled and said he had never spoken to Mr. Howland of the Civil Service Beform Association, before the report was made, although that gentleman swore on Tuesday night that he had talked to Mr. Both. He stated that he had removed the leaf from the store-keeper's ledger and furnished it to the printer as a copy for a new booV D.C.Craven, nh tob man, William Farley, barber, and Bryce Martin, porter at the hospital, testified to the sturdy improvement of the management of the institution, the good sanitary regulations, kind treatment of the inmates, and to the splendid quality and sufficient quantity of food furnished the inmates. The committee examined Dr. Thomas H. Harrison, President of tbe Board of Trustees, who is confined to bed at the Blind Asylum on account of severe lung trouble. The doctor said that during his term of office he had never forced a political friend upon the institution ; that he had always told Dr. Fletcher to never make place for any one by discharging a person who was capable and attending to his duties. He had had a voun? ladv named Carney appointed to a position as attendant, but Dr. Fletcher thought she was not strong enought to perform the duties, and as she did not like the po sitions after three weeks' service, ahe resigned. Ehe had hired In his family and had always been amoral young woman. he had never recommended any women from Lebanon who were of loose moral character. Mr. Hall, the Storekeeper, had teen recommenced by him and had proved himself a careful, honest and pains-taine man; had never neglected any of his duties and so far as he knew, had always compelled all successful bidders to furnish goods according to contract. The present carpenter was recommended by the witness and had given entire satisfaction. Dr, Fletcher had the entire control of the an pointments and was never hampered by the board. If the attendants were not capable and did not perform their duties properly it was the Superintendent's fault. The Superintendent was also at fault If the proper food was not furnished the inmates. lie had never been informed that any sick or cholera hogs

had been slaughtered. Had never

saw any ick hogs at tbe institution. So far as the purcnase cf goods was concerned, his instructions were that everything sent out by bidders must be np to and according to contract. He was not cow and never had been under any obligation to Mr. John E. Sullivan or any other bidder; bad never told Dr. Fletcher that unless Sullivan was allowed to furnish more butter cne month than was needed he (Sullivan) intended to prefer charges against Fletcher and have him (Harrison) impeached. He had never been under the influence of liquor, while in company with a man named Heath, on the streets of Lebsnon. He bad not drank a qnart of liquor in the past eight years. While

County Superintendent he had been charged by a Board composed entirely of 11 publicans with drunkenness, abortion, adultery and failure to discharge the duties of his office but after a thorough and searching investi gation be was acquitted of each and every charge, and held the position of County Superintendent for five years thereafter. His sale of the drug store was a square business transaction. His partner, Captain Pettigo. had failed to pay for his part ot the store, about $350, and he had been com pelled to sell, owing to other business taking up his time. Before he thought of selling they had some ten gallons of very high proof whisky, which was adulterated with a little water, and after the sale his former partner had started the story of adulteration of drugs and liquors. The charge of abortion made against him was entirely groundless, as the child in ques tion was now alive and well, and Dr. Smith, wbo waited upon tbe mother during confinement had sworn that there were no marks either upon the mother or child. Tbe mother was brought before the Grand Jury two days before tbe child was born, but during the investigation it was born, and Dr. Smith made his statement to tbe jury, when tbe case was dropped. Ue was never expelled from any medical society. He was formerly a member of the Drake Medical Society, but when tbe State law changed bo that each county should have a medical society he had called npon the Secretary and asked him not to transfer his name from tbe Drake Society, and that was the reason he was not a member of the present County Medical Society. The men who had been circulating these reports and swore to the matters before the committee were men npon whose toes he had stepped in business as well as political matters. The purchase of the car load of apples at Greencastle was made, but tbe price on tbem had been hxed by Dr. i letcber. wbo had seen them and consulted the daily market reports before he did so. The boil ers bad been purchased upon the statement of Mr. Stacey; if he had not assured the Board that they were up to the contract in every particular they would never have been paid tor. He was confident that tbe Board of Trustees had done everything in their power to advance the interests of the institution. With the taking of Mr. Harrison's evi dence the examination by the Senate committee came to a close. The committee is now preparing to report to the Senate. The House committee held a short meet ing yesterday morning, but, without tak ing any testimony, adjourned until 9 o'clock this morning, when it is understood they will give Mr. Jordan, the butter and egg man, another chance to patch up hss testimony. How to let a Farm In Dakota. f Jccl Benton in Cosmopolitan. The two classes of land open for settle ment are Government and railroad lands. Nearly all the former east of the Missouri Klyer, which is hrst-class, is now disposed of. There is, however, plenty of railroad land that can be bought at from $2 to f per acre, and on five years' time. The variation in price depends npon the quality and location. There are three ways to ob tain Government lard: namely, by the Homestead law, by pre-emption, and by timber culture. Any person over twentyone years of age, male or female, who is native born, or who, if not, has taken the first steps toward naturalization, may have the benefit of homesteading within six months front the time of entering a homestead claim. The party so doing must put np a house of some sort which he is willing to live in. He must live on the claim for five years, and pay from $4 to $3 for landoffice fees. But be can get title at once by paying $1.25 or $2 50 per acre. Old soldiers have their time of war service subtracted from this term of residence. "The Pre-emption Law requires some acts ef improvement by the applicant," and tiling papers at the cost of $2. After this "actual residence, cultivation of the soil and payment at $1.25 or $2.50 per acre." On this payment you have two years and nine months of time. But title can be had "after six months' residence and cultivation, if the payment is then made." The amount of land secured in these cases, as well as by the timber-culture claim, is onequarter of a section, or ICQ acres. To obtain a timber claim the fees paid are $11. Aftei this the applicant breaks or plows five acres the first year, cultivates it the Becond year, and plants forest trees, cuttings, or seeds the third year; and beginning the Becond year breaks another five acres, and cultivates and plants the third and fourth years. After these ten acres of future woodland are started, they must be kept alive for four years more, or eight years from the date of entry. If at that time he can show 6,750 healthy trees, he will be granted title upon paying $4 land (office fees. By proper management one person can sometimes get land by all these methods, or 480 acres in alL Kev. Bird WilVlns, of SL Paul, one of the leading colored divines of the Northwest, is mod led somewhat after the Sam Jones style, and at the evening service noticing that only the choir a quartette took part in the singing, he said: "My brethren and sisters, this will never do. Singing is apart of the worship, and I desire that all of you engage in it Do you suppose that only four of the angels in Heaven do the singing? This church is a model of the upper church. They all sing up there, and I would like to have you all sing down here. Now sing." They sang. "In raising children, I find it indispensable," said a lady friend the other day. "If one ot my little ones has a bad fall, I apply Pond's Extract at once, and the cure is so quick that the skin does not have time even to change color. I find it equally good for burns, boils, piles, sore throat and all such diseases, while for hemorrhages it is the best thing in the world. I learned that from mother long ago. Grandmother used it, too. So, yon see, our family has used Pond's Extract for generations. But be sure to get the genuine article." Parents, don't neglect that hoarse cough of your child until the deadly croup haa ot it by tbe throat at midnight. Get Dr. Ransom's Hive Syrup and Tola (or Honey Sirup) at once.

ODD SIGHTS IN CHINA.

Kiisii'.cr Derby's Rambles Through the Interior of the Country. Primitive Millies; Curious Common Carrtrrs methodlst Misstons Tbe City of NiDgpo. ITbese letters have been prepared especially for the Sentinel by Hon. Cbarles Denby, United States Minister to China.1 Special Correspondence of the SectineLl Pekisg. Jan. 1887. Returning toTientsia we skipped Chefoo for want of time. This place is becoming the great wateringplace of China. There Bome of the warships always summer and the fashion of Shanghai and the South, with a few persons from Peking, spend a few weeks. For once we crossed the Gulf of Pechili without seasickness. The shallowness of the water and the cross-seas make this gulf fatal to the tourist who has no sea legs. The fogs are something stupendous. They are accounted for by the shallowness of the water. The Peiho Elver has been already described in letters. It was in the worst possible condition this season. But our steamship had reached the Trentsin wharf for seven months. It is plain that the enormous and ever-increasing trade on this river must soon be relieved by a railroad from Trentsin to Lacu. There is now in operation at Trentsin a railroad a mile long. The 'Chinese crowd the cars every trip, and a growing sentiment in favor of railroads is being developed. The Pesie was crowded with junks, steamers and sailing vessels from the ports of tbe world, particularly from Corea, Sevatow, Amoy and Fouchow. The Grand canal being chronically out of order, tbe rice of the South destined for Peking goes up the Peiho in boats. There are thousands of boats engaged in this transportation. There is an oddness about the junk carrying wood, which is tied on the outside of the vessel, and gives a very unwieldy appearance. All along tbe Peiho one sees the mills in operation. These mills consist of a circular stone about five feet in diameter by eight inches thick, supported at an elevation of three feet on tbree upright blocks of stone. This stone is pierced through the center, and a post which rises two feet above it is thrust through tbe hole. The grinding is done by a solid cylindrical stone one and one-half feet in diameter by two feet long, which is fastened in a wooden frame work after the manner of lawn-rollers at home. A hole is bored through the middle of one side of the frame work, and the center post is inserted through this bole, so that the post serves as an axle around which tbe stone may revolve. A stick of wood attached to one end of the frame work projects a foot over the edge of the lower stone and at right angles to it. To tne end of this stick a blindfolded donkey is hitchec'. His harness is like that of a street car mule a collar with a rope running from each side of it and tied to a singletree bebind. The donkey is fastened by a halt?r so that he may not learn the patu around tbe mill. He walks around pulling the frame and stone after him, and the grain either dropped from a hopper fastened to the frame or poured on bv a man is ground be tween the two stones, and collects in the ehspe of a coarse flour on the margin of the circular stone. Sometimps men, women or children turn the mill. Millet and wheat are thns ground. Passencers going up the Peiko some times leave the beat and take donkeys or carts. In the North of China there are thousands of these carts. In the South no vehicles or animal are used. Kvery thin is carried by men. The Chinese cart is well likened to a Saratoga trunk on wheels. It is a narrow box with an arched roof, trellised over and curtained in front. There are no snrings, and the wheels are very heavy with indented tires and immense hubs. The vehicle is floored and has cush ions. There are no seats. The traveler reclines at his length, his feet sticking out in front. If he can not endure the jolting be sits on the shaft. A shaft runs out on each side in which a mule or po'ij is harnessed. Sometimes there are one or more mules hitched in front. Foreigners have devised a cart with a "well," which is a depression in the middle where the feet go. Two persons can thus ride vis a vis. There are many handsome carts in Peking. The trappings indicate the rank of the owner. Yellow is reserved for the Imperial family. Apricot color is of tbe highest distinction in a subject. Blue is the ordinary color of the foreign cart, mere are ouciotn cover ings for rainy weather, and sometimes springs are introduced into tne cushions. Altogether the cart is not an ugly object, and looks vastly more comfortable than it really is. A ride in one during the sum mer when Peking is a vast uniatnonaoie mud pond is as severe punishment as one can endure. Three days in horse boats on the Peiko puts you at Tung-Chow. 1 our horses await you, the eight ot which is very plearant after a three months abroad. You mount, and in two hours and a half you enter the gate in tbe Chinese wall." You pass around the Tartan wall, enter the Haltamen, and in a few minutes find yourself home again. The return trip of the Marion down the 'Great Iiiver" was very pleasant until some portion of her machinery broke thirteen miles above Wuhu. Kulklang was stopped at for a day. Our arrival was, as usual, the token of enter tainments and gayety, in which the English Consul, Mr. Everard, and tbe Commissioner of Customs, Mr. Simpson, were prominent for attentions and graceful kindnesses. Kev. I. K. Hykes and Kev. C. F. Kupfer have cuarge of the Methodist mission work here. They have a college, schools and a church. They are doing excellent work in the education of children. Near their compound is the Temple or the Goddess of Mercy. Here a priest pulls a bell every minute. One of the attendants said that the same priest pulled the bell all the time. In the temple there is an iron lluddha, made out of an old steamship boiler. Wuhu is not remarkable for anything in particular. There are very few foreigners. The Methodists have a beautiful site on the river about a mile above the town. Mr. and Mrs. Weatherstone live on a hulk, that we could call a wharf boat at home. They and Mr. and Mrs. Hughes are as hospitable as people can possibly b. Something must be said of Wuhu, which the truthful historian can not record of many other concessions. There are no "feuds" in Wuhu. Perhaps, in explanation of this fact, it ought to be stated, that, in the town of Wuhu there is but one foreign lady. I am tempted to say, that, in any event, I do not well see how any on could have a feud with Mrs. Hughes. I hope I am not trespassing on forbidden subjects, in saying, tnat, I have never bad the pleasure ot becoming acquainted with any class of gentlemen in any part of the world and my experience has been quite extensive who exhibit such remarkable taste and iudgment in the rather difficult matter of female beauty as my most agreeable and accomplished and hospitable friends the Commissioners of the Imperial customs in China. Dr. and Mrs. Jackson have charge ot the mission work at Wuhu. The next morning June 12 we embarked on the palatial steamer 'Tekin," Captain McQueen, and sped down the river. We were the recipients of every courtesy from this accomplished officer and his subordinates. As pleasant a trip as one can take from Shanghai is to Chingpo on one of th China Mall steamers. Leaving 6banghai in the afternoon, after a charm log sail down the river and along the coast, Iou enter the River Yung the next moraDg and are soon at Nlng-po. It Is situated in latitude 20, in the province of Chi-klang, the smallest of the,

provinces in China. The area f this proviEce is 33,000 square miles. Marco Polo describes the provincial city, Han-cbow-fre, in the thirteenth century as being i-e-eminent among the cities of the world for grandeur and beauty. But the Tai-p'mg rebels nearly destroyed it in l&cl. The grand canal, which was constructed (iOOjears ago, connects Peking with thiscity. The Portugese settled in Ching-po in 1522. In 1512 they were driven oat. Tbe English captured the city in 1841. In 1M2 it was made an open Court. We have generally, but not always, had a Consul there since then. The Presbyterians and the Baptists have flourishing missions here. Hon. Dr. W. A. P. Martin, an Indianian, commenced his career in China. He is now President of the T'ung-wen-pwan, the Imperial College at Peking. He is a gentleman of great learning and remarkable abiltty. He has translated Into Chinese Wheaton's International Law, and maDy other works. Mrs. Fitch, Miss Warner, Dr. and Mrs. Lord, Mr. and Mrs. Goddard and Dr. Barchett are resident missionaries. Dr. Barchett is particularly successful in treating opium patients. He had about forty patients at the time of my visit. Dr. Lord is the oldest missionary in China, having come in 1816. Chingho Is notedjfor its Pagoda, built in the eighth century. It is hexagonal in shape and seven stories high. There are also the temple of Confucius, the Fukien temple and numbers of memorial arches. Captain and Mrs. Pratt, on the steamer Kinangstsu, are as delightful companions de voyage as one could wish for. They have a son at the Naval Academy, who, I hope, will prove as good a sailor as his distinguished father.

PREACHER AND LAYMAN. A Papal Consistory is to open at Rome on the 7th of March. The Free-Will Baptists of America report S2,323 members, an increase during the year of 4,(iOG; 1,542 churches, and 1,291 ordained ministers. Thirty members of the Lutheran Church at Oshkosh, Wis., have been suspended for refusing to renounce their allegiance to the Knights of Labor. Fifty thousand dollars has been given toward establishing a missionary bishopric in FijL At San Paulo, a Brazilian recently made a gift of $5,000 toward erecting a boys' training school. Kev. A. H. Ball, formerly pastor of the First Baptist Church of Springfield,-111., having changed hi3 denominational relations, has accepted the call of the Congregational Church in Elgin. When Mr. Stanley made his memorable journey of VM days across the continent of Africa, in the course ef 7,000 miles he never saw the face of a Christian, nor of a man wbo had had an opportunity to become one. The First Presbyterian Church of New York, which has existed more than 100 years without any other musical instrument than a precentor's tuning-fork, has at lajt yielded to modern progress and will purchase a $10,000 organ. The rev'sed version: "Whatwuz de tex' di mrinin', Mr. Johnson? I wuz too late." It was about de meracles, Brother Snow. Wh8r de Lor' fed seven people on 5,000 baskets of fish " "I don't see any meracle sbout dat." "Oh, de meracle am dey all didn't bust." An oflicial complication shows that the average age of the members of the Society of Friends who have died during the denominational year just completed was fifty-eight and one-half years, an average age much in excess of that among the general population. The following are the twelve oldest Catholic 8ee in the United States, taken in ch ronological order: Baltimore was estsWished in 1779, New Orleans in 17Ü-1, New York. Boston and Louisville in 1S09, Carlfston m 1S2H. Richmond in 1821. Cincinnati in 1822, Mobilein 1824, Sc Louis in l.2 and Detroit In 1S32. The managers of the New York Catholic Protectory are about to build an infirmary with an extension and a separate ward for contsgious diseases in Westchester County. Tbe building, wben completed, will cost $35,000. During the past year the boys in the Protectory made GÖ.512 pairs of stockings, 74 678 pairs of shops, and set l."0,000 ems of type a day. "What does yer understand about dis beah conllic' between science and 'llgion?" asked Sam Jones, a colored whitewasher, of Uncle Mose. "Hit's my 'pinion, brudder Jones, dat when a Christian man what has pertessed 'hgion goes inter de prize ring, and has a confile' against science, he deserves all he gits. Ef de scientist pounded dat Christian's head effen his shoulders, I wouldn't drap a tear." The Living Church says that there were few Connecticut women of the last century who did not keep a diary. Then it quotes this from a diary of 1790: "We had roast pork for dinner, and Dr. S , who carved, held up a rib on his fork and said: 'Her?, ladies, is what Mother Eve was made of.' Yea,' said sister Tatty, 'and it's from very much the same kind of critter.' " The committees of the Northern and Southern Presbyterian Churches, to make arrangements for the centennial celebration in 18S8, have agreed that the celebration shall take place the fourth Thursday in May, 18SS, in Philadelphia. Commemorative services will be held and addresses delivered half of the speakers to be from the IS ort hern and half from the Southern Presbyterian Church. The English Catholic directory shows that there are now 5,820,000 Catholics in Great Britain and Ireland. The Catholic population of Scotland alone is 350,0X), there being 220,000 Catholics in the archdloctseof Glasgow. The Catholic populationof England is over 1 500.000. The Catholic population of the British Empire is more than 10,000,000. The total number of Koman Catholic Bishops in the world is 1,187. A Highland chief, being on his death-bed, was exhorted to forgiv his enemies. He called his oldest son to his bedside and thus spoke his last: "Donald, you see what a pass I have come to, and 1 am told that I must forgive my enemies, and especially The M'Tavish; and for my soul's sake I do forgive him accordingly. Bat, Donald, ma dear son, if ever you forgive The M'Tavish, or any o' his infernal name, may ma curse rest on ye forever and ever. Amen!" A minister's little boy, who had apparently heard liberal views upon the subject of woman's intluence and duties in the world, made a practical application of his theories. When asked by Lis father why he did not rise earlier one morning, he reSlied: "Well, you didn't." "True, but I id not retire so early as you did. I had to conduct a prayer-meeting." "That wasn't any reason for not going to bed. Mother can hold prayer-meetings just as well as you can." Benevsient Lady uOh! Mr. Wiseman, I do Wish you-'d give us some advice aboat raising funds for the poor. There Is so much suffering and we are utterly helpless." Citizen "You should solicit donations for their relief." "We have tried that; been to every one of the congregation and not a soul will give more than a dime or two." "Well, If they won't part with their money on direct application, try getting up an en tertainment of some sort, ror instance, have a charity ball." "Ball! Horrors! Why, we are Christians." 'A course of public lectures is being delivered under the auspices of the Church Society for promoting Christianity among the Jews in the Church of the Epiphany, Washington, D. C. It is Intended as a frank discussion of the questions at issue between Judaism and Christianity from a Christian point of view; and the object is to reach the thinking class of Hebrews, many of whom are difficult to approach by ordinary methods, and yet adrift from their ancient religion, and almost "without God in the world."

WASHINGTON AS PRESIDENT.

Bow TS Impressed a Young; New Ilampshire Lawyer. The Brattleborough (Vt) Thecal r prints copious extracts from the life of Jeremiah Mason, a noted lawyer of the early part of this century and at one time a United States Senator from New Hampshire. It includes many letters written bv Mr. Ma son, in one of which he says: "In the autumn of 1790 Oliver Phelps requested me to go to Virginia and negotiate the sle of some land. A literal compensation was furnished me. I uadertook the agency, though feeling incompetent for the business, not having had any previous expe rience, l set out on mv lourney. and when arrived at Thlladelftila the session of Congress bad just comrrenced and I heard President u ashmgton deliver his speech, He was in full dress, and, with hair in bag, with Bide arms on, he seen-ied to me better to represent dignity and msjesty than any one I had ever seen. At Kichmond I I could be placed in the contract I was to in vestigate. My instructions were, if that contract failed to make another with some re sponsible party. For this pnrpooe I entered into negotiations with the Governor of Virginia, who was then the celebrated General Henry Lee, and made with him a conditional contract. He was the revolu tionary "Light-Horse Harry," who often Drought terror and destruction Into the campe of the Southern British army. He was remarkable for his fine manners and great address; was a gallant soldier aid a great favorite of Washington. The coun try was much excited then by the Jtv treaty, which Washington, with the advice of the Senate, had ratified. Virginia was opposed to it. I saw a good deal of the great men of Virginia, and among others I became acquainted with Bushrod Washington, then a practicing lawyer in Richmond, afterward a Jude of the Snnreme Court. When about to leave Richmond I was intrusted with a package of papers which I was instructed to deliver to President ashin&rton in person at Phil adelphia. Wben at Philadelphia I inquired for Mr. Dundridge, his Private Secretary, who showed me into a room, saying he would inform the President. He soon entered the room, pointing me to a seat. lie commenced reading the package, found out 1 was a Yankee, spoke about New Hampshire, and inquired when I expected to leave the city. I answered him, immediately, and made my best bow. As I rose I saw him measure my height with his eye. I stood erect to give him tne wnoie or it. it evidently exceeded his. This was the only time I ever saw General Washington, except when he addressed Congress. His dress was quite plain; I supposed it to be his riding dress long boots, corduroy smalls, speckled red jacket, blue coat with yellow buttons. I am thus minute, because I deem the most trifling circumstance relating to him interesting. I have never doubted that be was by far the best and greatest man that I have ever seen. As a pablic man he appeared as near perfection as it is possible for human nature to be." Robert hou's Howling Kabble. Evansvllie Courier. Colonel Koberrson's demand tor the chair was wholly unauthorized, and the conduct of the howling rabble that he took with him to the door of the Senate has filled the State with a sense of deep humiliation. He has succeeded in putting a stop to any further legislation by allowing bis indecent, impatience to bold office to control ail of his actions. Only about a we jk more remains in which to transact business, and Speaker Sayre has publicly announced that tbe House will hsve no further official relations with the Senat until Colonel Kooertson ia seated an absurdly unreason able determination, in view of tbe opinion of the Supreme Court, which made the pciiit very plain that the Sena e hurt the right to appoint its own presiding officer; that a joint convention had the same right, and that tbere was nothing either in law or precedent to disturb that right. The fact is that, considering all of the ag gravating circumstances with which the Democrats have had to deal, they hav shown remarkable forbesrance from the beginning of tbe session. Tbey have endeavored by peaceful means to preserve their majority intact, and seldom have they lost their control under the insult and calumny that the Republican lealers who tetm to be a choice lot of blackguards headed by the Indianapolis Journal, have constantly poured out upon them. Dead at Ninety-One. LiBEBTY, March 2, William Stevens, one of the oldest Democrats m the State, was Juried here Monday. At the time of his ueath he was nearly ninety-one years old, and had been a resident of the btate since 1814 and of this county since 1819, a period of sixty-eight years. The largest funeral procession ever witnessed in this county followed his remains to their last resting place. Prophylactic In Sickness. "Typhoid fever has broken out here again, but wherever Darby's Prophylactic Fluid has been freely used there has been no fever." M. B. Lancaster, P. M., Editor Central Alabamian.
