Admiral Robert Lowry, of the British navy, has been in the service eighty-five years. He must be pretty near eld enough for the retired list. A. T. Stewart’s body is said to be quietly resting in its magnificent marble tomb at Garden City, N. J. The bontis of $20,000 was paid the grave robbers. Mrs. Clara M. Bisßee has just been ordained pastor of the “Free Church," Dorchester, Mass. Fros. Everett, of Harvard college, preached the ordination sermon. Miln, the Chicago preacher who has been deposed from the ministry for denying the existence of a god has paid a long visit to Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, at Washington. Hot house grapes are selling in New York for seven dollars a pound. ’ .J Efforts are still being made, we are pained to relate, to save Guiteau’s neck. v • ' /l A war between Austria and Russia is one of the probabilities of the near future.■ Sargent, the new minister to Berlin is “one of us.” He began life as a printer. The winter’s work in the lumber regions of Wisconsin is the greatest ever known. The Chicago Inter-Ocean suggests Arthur and Lincoln as the Republican ticket for 1884. q'_i 1 It is a fact and not a joke that Germany taxes American canvas covered hams as “cotton goods.’. The temperance people of Oberlin, Ohio, are waging determined war against Bronson, a druggist of the town, whom they charge with converting his store into a regular saloon. In order to procure evidence against him they have been detailing ladies, divinity students and others to keep guard in his place and take down the names of customers. Bronson, having remonstrated in vain, has within the last few days taken to ejecting the male representatives of temperance and smoking out the ladies, but as fast as put out they have re turned, and owing to their pertinacity * the druggist has appealed to the sheriff for protection. Bronson on his side represents that he is the victim of unjust persecution, and that the extreme temperance leaders are attempting to prevent his selling liquors even on the prescriptions of physicians. The previous proprietor of Bronson’s drug store had been forced, in common with others in the place, byiConstant crusading, into an arrangement not to Bell a drop of spirits of any kind for any purpose whatever, either with or without a physician’s prescription.

Mk. Bergh’s society for the prevention, of cruelty to animals, one of • 9 -*1 **■ ; - ’ the greatest missionary forces in the country, presents figures showing some excellent work done during the past year. There are sixteen branches and 230 agencies of the society in the the state of New York, and last year it prosecuted 855 cases in the courts. In New York and Brookly 1,276 animals were stopped in their work and sent to veterinary surgeons , for treat ment, against 8,000 three years ago, which is' claimed as a demonstration that the operations of thb society are proving a deeided corrective. During the year,just closed the receipts 61 the society were $25,000 and the- expenditures $23,500, and . during the year $59,600 was Invested in stocks rand bonds. President Bergh in his annual report .discusses the “hideous spectacle on Long Island last summer which shocked fylibliC propriety in the form of a pigeon shoot,” and, “that grim monster vivisection, that still remains master of the situation,” and the “transportation of 'dat'tle', 1 ’- but Congratulates the ■ sooeiety that public opinion has been against the wanton cruelties connected with these three subjects, and hopes ere long to see the marksman return to his wooden target, the vlvisectionist to bodies void of feeling, and the cattle carried in cars as much better than tbs cars used now as the palace cars are better than the ordinary passenger cars.

KISSED BY WASHINGTON.

Jlb Are 4 St. Louisian’s Reminisc%eek St’if ihor,u,er f! George Washington’s birthday is celebrated by a great many people In St. Louis, but by not one with mor*feeling than Mr. Charles Jones, who is Honojred abpve all .other* St.. Louis-' ians from the fact that he was personally acquainted with George Washington. He spoke to him and held his hand, wnile (he father of 'his country hissed him on the-cheek* and blessed him. Mr. Jones, in the epippany of his aged wife, and his affectionate daughter, Mrs Eugenia Cuthbert, wore seen at the residence of the latter, Np. 2,8£4 Olive street, yesterday, afternoon. The old gentleman, with his long white hair and beard, sat at a desk pear a comfortable fire examining his papers, while near at hand, in an easy chair, sat his wife, with waving white locks rolling down her temples from beneath a laced and frilled white cap. With her gold-rim-med spectacles over her note she Bat and sewed. Thus they were when the visitor was introduced by Mrs. Guthbert. He. though 90 years old, is still hearty and hale and smiling; his wife at the age of 85 as spry almost as her daughter. Immediately upon entering the room the old gentleman arose and shook hands with the writer and handed him a chair. Being questioned with regard to his acquaintance with Washington, Mr. Jones said: “I did not know him intimately, but he was a firm friend of my father,who Jived in New York in those days. When Washington came to town he invariably sought out my father, Dr. Jones, and went about the city in his company. I was attending school in 1790, at Dr. Steenhack’s school, when Gen. Washington, in company with my father, visited the school. I went up to both of them, when my father, speaking to the distinguished looking gentleman, said: ‘This is my son, sir,’ and to me, “Charles, this is General Washington.” I held out my hand, and the General grasped it heartily. My father and Gen. Washington then departed, but before going the General placed his hand upon my head and kissed me, after which he gave me his blessing. I had, of course, heard of Geu. Washington at time, but did not fully appreciate, until long years afterward, the honor conferred upon me.” In a small frame there hung upon the wall a letter which Mrs. Cuthbert took down and handed to the genial old gentleman, who hsnded it to the reporter, saying, “That’s a genuine autogragh letter ol Gen. Washington’s.” The paper is yellow and the creases still remain marked as it was folded by the General when delivered to the [ ostboy. On two pieces of paper there are two separate pieces of writing; one the superscription thus: “Doctor Jones;” and the invitation, thus: “Gen. Washington presents his compliments to Dr. Jones, and requests the favor of his company at dinner this sth May.”" There is but one blot or blur upon the letter, and that is over the word “Dr.the ink is still very black, and the invaluable relic is still well preserved. Mr. Jones went injo many other reminiscences. showing the reporter a copy of the New York Times containing an account of the tearing down of the house in which lived his greatgrandfather : “On the corner of Wall and Nassau streets, New York, where now stands the United States Assay Office, stood the court bouse, two stories high, from the second story of which Gen. Washington delivered'his first inaugural address, while the people, thronged the street for squares around.” Here the old gentlemen took from a drawer two pictures done in oil upbn ivory. One he handed to the reporter, saying, “That’s a picture of my father; it is just 146 years old.” The painting is excellent, and Dr. Jones, from the picture, appears, to have been much of the same kind of a mad as George Washington. “The other picture is one of my sister, who was one of the most remarkable women, as she retained her early beauty all her life. An amusing incident occurred one day as I was walking along Broadway, New York, with her. She was, 60 years old at the time, and one of'the many gentlemen who passed remarked loud enough for me to over.hear him: ‘lsn’t that a pretty girl witjjti.that old gentleman?’ Indeed, she must have been a rare beauty, judging from the picture, which, Mr. Jane* remarked ratber lightly, wAs oftly;7o years old. ‘I have known or all the,great, men of my country—Washington, Adams, Jester son, Madison. I knew all, the , Presidents down to Millard Fillmore, and rl am honored in having Jived, uncer every President so f..r.”

Not the Way to Do.

In localities where tlje extraordinary merits of Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla becomes fully known, it leads the sale of all other remedies, and although, in some (Instances, certain druggists have been known to recommend some other remedy as a blood purifier or strengthening tonic, by the sale of which they make greater profit, nevertheless it fa a fact that intelligent persons will not thus be persuaded, but will insist on the druggist procuring Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla, as it far excels all medicines as a blood purifier, strengthening tonic, liver and oowel regulator,, and kidney cure, A trial will prove its merits as a general health renewer. Its principal ingredients are Yellow Dock, Sarsaparilla, Juniper, Iron, Buehu, Celery, and Calisaya bark, and jt acts on the *blood, liver, bowels, kidneys and ner-y vous system at once at the same time, rebuilding a broken-down constitution as if by magic. Try one bottle,^, There is a great deal of desertion among troops in Ireland. Three men belonging to the thirty-first light infantry, charged'with desertion from the Buttevsnt barracks, county Cork, told the magistrates that they were no longer going to remain in- Ireland to be pelted with brickbats,! and that every facility was afforded them outride the barracks for obtaining a change of clothing and getting away by steampr. The commanding officer at Limerick warned the magistracy that his. men would fire if pelted or annoyed by the mob.

Eead This Now or Never.

The very best remedy ever invented for the cure of general ill health, especially dyspepsia, bad blood, nervousness, universal lassitude, weak kidneys, liver troubles, etc., is Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. It will not harm the most delicate invalid. Its use wonderfully revives the mental faculties, increases the power of physical endurance, and makes the blood rich, red and pure, enabling it to counteract the effect of exhaustive and debilitating diseases. In localities where this remedy is best known, druggists find it difficult to supply the demand. I contains Yellow Dock. Sarsaparilla, Juniper, Iron, Buchu, Celery, Calisaya, etc. Every physician knows the merit of such ingredients. Congressman Allen, of Missouri, who was thought tube dying, is going to get well. Cornwall, the defaulting loan clerk of the Fourth National bank of New York is dyiDg. A Santa Fe Chinaman was fatally clubbed and robbed of SIOO. The roughs escaped. Mr. George M/Whiting7 Middletown, 0.., writes: “I was an invalid many years, suffering from general debility, nervous prostration, blood impurities, dyspepsia, painful urination, weaa lungs, catarrh of the bladder, and extreme physical weakness. Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Saisaparilla has brought me out, and mnda me a sound, healthful, vigorous man. I can never say enough for the wonderful strength and health restoring medicine. Mrs. Stutter, of Virginia, says, in defense of the cart-wheel hat: “Why, only a brief week ago, one rainy night, I walked for two squares behind a young couple, whpse best protection from the driving storm was a Gainsboro hat and their simple, loving faith in each other.
