Greely’s friends, says a Washington special, were disappointed by the President’s nomination of Capt.TheodoreW. Schwan of the Eleventh Infantry to be an assistant adjutant general in the army, vice Benjamin. This was the place that Greely’s friends had been trying to get for him. Schwan is a very meritorious officer, who entered the service in 1857 from Germany as ——.ajfrivate soldier. He was a sergeant when the ^^^«ok2_ont, and was gradually pro-

moted for gallant conduct until, at the close of the war he was a brevet Major. He has been in active service on the plains eVer since the war. He had no social or political influence and was selected by the President purely on merit. Schwan is probably the only man, except Adjutant General Drum himself, who has risen from the ranks to a place in this corps of the regular army.

London continues to send advices which favor a further improvement on this side of the Atlantic. Eastern buyers are reported to have gene out in force as far West as Montana, where shearing is now in progress,intending to pick up the product as soon as it is ready to ship away.” FOREIGN. Gen.

The Tories and Unionists have

—3—at made a net gain of fourteen seats. The position presages a crashing defeat for Mr. Gladstone unless he obtains a larger county vote than in November.

In nearly every instance it is shown that drought prevails, and that wheat in the milky state is drying up. Corn is not seriously affected as yet. The Kansas State Board of Agriculture, iu its monthly report, estimates the winter wheat yield at 14,200,000 bushels, or onehalf the usual average. A Chicago dispatch reports: “The drought scare in the grain trade continues, and all the leading cereals sold on the Chicago Board of Trade at a further material advance. Since the opening of the present month, or in five business days, No. 2 wheat for August delivery has advanced seven cents, corn three cents, and oats four and one-half cents.

In considering the river and harbor bill, on the 7th inst., the Senate adopted an item appropriating $15J,000 to make the Sturgeon Bay Canal free of toll to commerce. A Presidential veto was sent to the Semite of the bill authorizing the construction of railroads through the Indian reservation in Northern Montana. The Speaker laid before the House of Representatives twenty-one pension veto messages from the President. Mr. Jackson, of Pennsylvania., attacked the veto policy of th > Executive, who, he said, was not actuated by regard for the worth and merit of private pension bills. Mr. Bragg (Wis.) said that there seemed to be an idea in the House that it was the duty of the President to abdicate his office in favor of a majority of (he Committee on Invalid Pensions. Whenever, in the exercise of his constitutional prerogatives, ho examined legislation to see whether or not it was provident and wise, it was charged that he hod perpetrated an outrage on the American people. He (Mr. Bragg) was glad to find that at last there was a man in the executive chair who had the nerve and courage to place his hand upon legislation when ho thought it improper, whether it were pension or railroad legislation. Congress had gone altogether too far in the way of pension legislation. Before the House went further in pensioning the dead-wood of the army it should make some provision for tiie men who went to the front in 1861. Mr. Browne (Indiana) criticised the action of the President, and invoked God’s mercy on a man who had the heart to veto a bill for the relief of the widow of a man who died in the line of duty to his country. His Excellency belonged to that class of mon who, during the war, were afraid of nothing but danger. Mr. Cannon (Ill.) read in the vetoes the story that while Cleveland was President there would be no further pension legislation. There were great questions in this country callin'.' for the attention of the executive, yet the President brushed them all aside, and appeared anxious to cater to nobody except that little solid knot that came from the solid South. There he stood, looking through a gimlethole with a magnifying glass, hunting for excuses and heaping derision upon the heads of the poor men who lost their health in the service of the country, lie assured Ihe gentlemen on the Democratic side that they would have to defend the President's actions before November. Mr. Matson (Ind.) showed that nearly all the pension legislation of importance had been enacted by Democrats, and that nearly all of these bills had been vetoed by a Republican Commissioner of Pensions years ago.

Why Is It That rheumatism and neuralgia are so prevalent? This question has not been satisfactorily answered, but it is certain that these diseases are not only the most painful but among the most common, and some member of nearly every family in the land is the victim, of one of these dread tormentors. Ladies seem to be peculiarly liable to neuralgic attacks, which, in the form of neuralgic headache, pain in the back, or nervous paius, are of constant occurrence, particularly at this season of the year. Not uutil the discovery of Athlophoros had any remedy been found for either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous headache, and they were generally conceded to be incurable, but Athlophoros has been proved to be not only a certain cure for these diseases, iu all their varied forms, but a safe remedy. If in the use of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely open, its success is certain, and to aid this, Athlopfforos Pills are recommended, which, while providing the necessary cathartic, will be found to be a valuable aid to the action of the medicine. Athlophoros is no new experiment; it has been thoroughly tested, and has proved its wonderful efficacy. The Athlophoros Pills were originally prepared as a remedy for use in connection with Athlophoros, for rheumatism and neuralgia and kindred complaints. Used in connection with that remedy, they are a certain cure for either of these very common and distressing diseases. They have also been found to be an invaluable remedy for many Other complaints, iu fact for any and all diseases arising from vitiated blood or general debility. They are especially valuable for nervous debility, blood poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating, headache, constipation, loss of appetite, and all stomach or liver troubles. For diseases of women they are invaluable. These pills are perfectly harmless, and may be safely used by adult or children. Every druggist should keep Athlophoros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they caunot be bought of the druggist the Athlophoros Co., 112 Wall St., New York, will send either (carriage paid) on receipt of regular price, which is SI.OO per bottle for Athlophoros aud 50c. for Pills. He Couldn’t Scare Cassatt. “Talking about fast running,” said an old railroader, “reminds me of a little story of A. J. Cassett, formerly of the Pennsylvania Road, but now in retirement as Mr. Kelso, proprietor of a racing stable. Well, Cassatt was on the line between New York and Philadelphia one day a few years ago, and at Jersey City got up into the locomotive with which Jim Sanford was starting for Philadelphia with N n . 13, the flying train, which then, as now, made the ninety-mile run in one hundred and twelve minutes. When he got along down by Menlo Park, Jim thought he would have some fun with Cassatt, and so he let her out. When she struck an easy grade two or three miles were covered at the rate of forty-seven seconds to the mile, which is frightful running—nearly seventy-seven miles an hour. Jim kept looking over to Cassatt, hoping the Vice President would show some signs of fear. But Cassatt kept looking out of the window of the shaking, plunging, careening engine without a change of color or expression on his face. Finally ho turned to Jim and inquired: “ ‘Say, is that the best she can do ? Can’t she go faster than this f “That was the last time Jim Sanford tried to scare A. J. Cassatt. ‘Why,’ says Jim, when he tells the story, as he pretty often does, ‘I was a leetle s airt myself, not bein’ sartin if the machine would hang together at that frightful pree, and when Cassatt up and wanted to go faster I give up in despair Never saw such a man in my life.’ ” — Chicago Heral'f Soothing a Horse by Song. A minister named M. C , who has since passed into “innocuous desuetude” by falling from grace, had a circuit in Southern Indiana. The horse he rode was a spirited animal and would not let a blacksmith shoe him. The preacher was a great revivalist, and singer of revival songs—noted for his “power of song,” in fact. A smith in the county seat, the center of the circuit, learning that the preacher’s horse would not be shod, meeting the divine one day, said : “If you’ll bring that horse to my shop on to-m >rrow, and follow my instructions. i’ll shoe him ‘all round,’ and it won’t cost you a cent.” Accordingly the preacher was on time at the smithshop with his refractory steed, and after the animal had been divested of saddle, blankets, and all but the bridle, the smith said: “Now, hold your horse by the rein, close to the bridle-bit, and sing one of your liveliest camp-meeting songs, and when that is ended, strike up another, and keep on singing until I finish shoeing the horse. ” The preacher obeyed, and to the astonishment of all, the animal was passive until the work was completed. As the blacksmith clinched the last nail he dropped the animal’s foot, exclaiming : “There, I knew yon could sing religion into that horse.”— Detroit Free Press. Bridges. The first bridges were of wood, and the earliest of which we have any account was built in Rome 500 B. C. The next was erected by Julius Cmsar for the passage of his army across the Rhine. Trajan’s great bridge over the Danube, 4,779 feet long, was made of timber, with stone piers. The Romans also built the first stone bridge which crossed the Tiber. Suspension bridges are of remote origin. A Chinese one mentioned by Kirchen was made of chains supporting a roadway 830 feet in length. It was built A. I). 65, and is still to be seen. The first large iron bridge was over the Severn in 1777. The age of railways has wrought a remarkable development in this branch of engineering, especially in the construction of bridges of iron and steel. No one was ever corrected by a sarcasm, but oftener driven further in the wrong way.

Among the North American tribes there are seven modes of burial, viz., by inhumation; by embalmment; by deposition of remains in urns; by surface burial (the remains being placed I iu hollow trees or logs, pens, or simply covered with earth, or bark, or rocks forming cairns); by cremation; by aerial sepulture (the bodies being left in lodges, houses, cabins, tents, deposited on scaffolds or trees, in boxes or canoes, supported on scaffolds or posts, or placed on the ground,) and by aquatic burial beneath the water, or iu canoes turned adrift. Each tribe follows its own course, according to the established custom. The first form of burial, that is, of interment in the ground, was customary among the Mohawks of New York. Schoolcraft, in his history of the Indian tribes, tells us that “the Mohawks of New York made a large round hole in which the body was placed upright, or upon its haunches, after which it was covered with timber to support the earth which they laid over it, and thereby kept the body from being pressed. They then raised the earth in a round hill over it. They always dressed the corpse in all its finery, and put wampum and other things into the grave with it; and the relations suffered not grass nor weeds to grow upon the grave, and frequently visited it and made lamentations.” The same custom prevailed among the Indians formerly inhabiting the Carolinas, but they placed the corpse iu a coffin made of woven reeds or hollow canes, tied fast at both ends. After a time the body is taken up, the bones cleaned aud deposited in an ossuary, called the quiogozon. The custom of tying up the corpse likewise prevails among the Yumanas of South America, who “bury their dead bent double, with faces looking toward the heavenly region of the sunrise, the home of their great good deity, who they trust will take their souls with him to his dwelling. On the other hand, the Peruvian custom was to place the dead huddled up in a sitting posture, and with faces turned to the west.” With regard to burying in the ground, Tylor informs us that it is customary among the Winnebagoes of North America to bury a man “sitting up to the breast iu a hole in the ground, looking westward: or graves are dug east and west, and the bodies laid in them with the head eastward, with the motive that they may look toward the happy land in the west.”

The Physiology of the I.lver. The liver is the largest secreting organ in the human body, and the bile which it secretes is more liable to vitiation and misdirection from its ] roper channels than any other of the animal fluids. Luckily for tho bilious, however, there is an unfailing source of relief from liver complaint, namely, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a medicine which for over a quarter of a century has been achieving thorough cures of tho above-mentioned ailments, fever and ague, dyspopsia, bowel complaints, rheumatic and kidney affection, and disorders involving los < of nervous vigor. It is, moreover, a preventive of malarial disease, and affords protection to thousands of persons residing in districts of country where that dire scow ge is prevalent. As a remedy adapted to the medicinal requirements of families, it is supremely desirable, and as a means of fortifying a debilitated system, it is tliwjiuug^ly to bo depended upon. The Tower of Ulm Cathedral. Flush with the main wall of the church uprises the tower, an elegant mass of late decorated gothic, in which is carried out to greater completeness the idea developed by Master Erwin, at Strasburg, of pilaster strips before the deeper lying windows, thus effectuating in the tower the idea started in the porch. In this tower, which is easily ascended, and which commands an extensive view of the sui rounding plains and the Swabian Alps, hang a large number of bells, all bearing names inI dicative of their purpose. Some have long been silent, among them one named the “wine bell,” once rung nightly at 10 o’clock for the purpose of fetching the male population home from tho tavern. On the top is a quaint Latin inscription commemorating the foolhardiness of the Emperor Maximilian, a lover, it would seem, of foolhardy deeds—for Innspruck has a cognate tale to tell —who, ascending this tower in 1492, leaped upon the parapet, and balancing himself on one leg, swung round the other in mid air; a truly royal form of recreation. In tho tower, too, is kept a typical “Ulmhead,” the largest tobacco pipe ever made, excepting always her Majesty's in St. Catherne’s docks. Tradition telleth that a student from Tubingen once smoked it empty after a steady pull of nine hours. Tradition telleth not how the student felt afterward. On the roof of the nave sits the image of a huge sparrow, known as the “Ulmer-spatz,” a figure that has sat here from time immemorial as a memento to the Elmers of the stupidity of their forefathers, who needed a bird to show them that a beam carried crosswise could not enter into a narrow gate. No trouble to swallow Dr. Pierce’s Pellets. It must be water on the brain which gives the dude his high-drawlic manner of speech. “Put Up” at the Gault House.

Y. “I made a dollar awful slick to-day,” said Jones. “How did you do it?” inquired Smith, eagerly. “Greased it,” retorted Jones. Pierce’s “Favorite Prescription” isnotextolled as u “cure-all,” but admirably lultiils a singleness of purpose, being a most potent specil.c in those chronic weaknesses peculiar to women. The wealth of our language is shown by the fact that “hang it up” and “chalk it down” mean precisely the same thing. The only warranted cure for chills and fever is Ayer’s Ague Cure. “What is your idea of love, Mr. Sinnick?” “Three meals a day and well cooked.” As a hair dressing, Hall’s Hair Renewer has no equal.

I finally got so low that our doctor said I could not live twenty-four hours. My friend then purchased a bottle of DR. WM. HALL’S BALSAM FOB THE LUNGS, which benefited mo.
