WASHIAGTO H. Extensive smuggling on the northern and southern frontiers presents a grave question to the Treasury Department The Comptroller of the Currency has imposed fines of SIOO each upon five national banks which have regularly been slow in forwarding monthly reports. Secretary Manning’s personal friends, says a Washington dispatch, assert that his decision to retire from the Treasury Department is final, and has been unchanged since he forwarded his resignation to the President. The laiter was, and is now, averse to losing Mr. Manning from his official family, but he realizes the true condirion of Mr. Manning’s health, and therefo cannot conscientiously insist upon his remaining. As soon as Mr. Manning’s physician diagnosed the case he announced that it would be almost as much as the patient’s life was worth for him to attempt to tax his brain with the cares and responsibilities, to say nothing of the physical duties, of his position....

Alexander Mitchell announces that he will support Governor Busk for Governor of Wisconsin on account of his action in suppressing the recent riots at Milwaukee, and will use his influence to prevent the Democrats nominating any one against him. An election for Governor, Congressmen, and members of the State Legislature was held in Maine on Monday, the 13th inst. There were three complete tickets in the field—Republican, Democratic, aud Pro-

The Republican plurality this year is 9,562, against 14,030 in 1881—a loss of 4,468.

Ames; Lieutenant Governor, John Frank; Secretary of State, Luth Jaeger; Auditor, J. G. Lundberg; Treasurer, Henry Poehler; Attorney General, John H. Ives; Clerk Supreme Court, G. T. Gardner. The platform eulogizes President Cleveland’s administration and denounces the Republican administration of State affairs. It demands a currency of gold and silver coin of equal value, and paper convertible into either. It favors a revision of the tariff and its adjustment to a revenue basis, and the elevation of the Commissioner of Agriculture to a cabinet minister. The labor plank favors an eight-hour system, the establishment of a State labor bureau, legislation to secure the payment of wages, to improve the health and secure the safety of employes, and provide indemnification for injuries received, to prohibit child and convict labor and the letting of public works by contract, to protect the people from usurers and tax-title sharks, and to govern the arbitration of labor disputes.

The plank on the temperance question is as follows: The intemperate and excessive use of intoxicating liquors is earnestly to bj deplored, and eve believe the liquor traffic should be regulated by reasonable and liberal license laws ; but we regard the enactment of sumptuary or prohibitory laws, whether general or local, designed exclusively for the arbitrary regulation of the personal habits of the citizen, as an exercise of legislative power unwarranted by the Constitution, contrary to the fundamental principles of all free government, and justified by no practical results yet attained in the expferience of mankind. It is urged that the great American liners, traveling at a speed of sixteen to twenty miles an hour, and especially liable to such a collision as that which wrecked the Oregon, should be fitted with electric search lights similar to those notv in use on war ships, and that through the wb le night these should be kept at work s weeping the horizon in front of and on either bow of the ship. Female College Graduates.

One would hardly suppose, says Good Housekeeping, that young women would be fitted to become good housekeepers by taking a course in one of the colleges for their exclusive admission. Be the acquaintance with mathematics never so intimate or profound, the great American pie can be made by none of its rules; let the dead languages be learned in the highest perfection and the graduate may know little of modern affairs; though the whole course of instruction be well mastered, the mysteries of domestic life may be unsolved mysteries still. Yet some female college graduates do become housekeepers—good ones, too —and no doubt their training in other directions has made their training for this occupation the more easy. It must be, of course, that their home life has given them a good preparation for domestic duties, so that their college life tells principally in self-confidence an 1 in general mental receptivity. From an inquiry made in 1885 by the Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics of Labor concerning 705 female college graduates it appears that after the completion of the college course of those who entered upon household duties twenty-four did housework only and 270 in connection witli some other occupation ; 130 took up teaching as their sole occupation, w’hile 224 were engaged in teaching in conjunc tion with other occupations; thirty-seven were engaged in professional work only, aud 112 in professional and other occupations. It was found that 249 were occupied with work of an intellectual nature, 107 with study, 105 with philanthropy, and only 210 with soc al duties, all of which occupations were usually carried on in connection with attention to other cares and duties. The small devotion to domestic duties is largely accounted for by the fact that of the 705, only 196, or 27.8 per cent., were married at the time of the inquiry.

Under the kings of the race of TutulXius, Yucatan reached the highest degree of civilization, which was perpetuated in the monuments of Uxmal and of the other cities which surrounded their capital like so many suburbs. Their ruins have survived the fall of the empire founded byZamma, and the traveler can contemplate them now as the mute witnesses of its past grandeur. Uxmal was the most beautiful of the jewels of the Tutul-Xius crown; nothing had been spared in order to embellish it. In the intervening spaces left between its palaces and temples they had formed superb plazas, ornamented with basins or zonotes, and shaded by the rich foliage of banana and palm trees. An uninterrupted chain of gardens and promenades united the capital to the nine neighboring cities, where the great families of the kingdom had built mansions which rivalled in splendor and magnificence the residences of the sovereign. The law which obliged them every year to live during a certain time in the metropolis, and to divide alternately between themselves the royal service, exempting them from taxation, gave them an opportunity to utilize the wealth which public prosperity furnished them, by creating every where monuments, chief Works of the American art and architecture. Au English Decision in Favor of an American Trade-Mark. [From tho New York Morning Journal.]

London, England, Aug. 26, 1886.— (Special by Cable) —In the chancery division of the High Court of Justice, London, Vice-Chancellor Bacon has given his decision in favor of The Charles A. Vogeler Company, of Baltimore, Maryland, in the action brought by that house against H. Churchill & Co., of Brisbane, Queensland. The case, which has been in progress here since September, 1884, grew out of an attempt of Churchill & Company to register a trade-mark containing the words “St. Patricks Oil” in connection with a medicinal preparation. This was promptly opposed by the Vogeler Company, who, while admitting that the term and device which were sought to be registered ’ the Australian firm were in no respect identical to the wellknown St. Jacobs Oil trade-marks, contended, however, that sufficient similarity existed between the term St. Patricks applied by Churchill N Co. and St. Jacobs as used by the Vogeler Co. to cause confusion in the minds of the public and loud to purchasers being deceived. In support of this position they submitted an overwhelming amount of evidence from English, American, and Australian sources, with the result stated. Under the decision of the court, Churchill & Co. cannot register their mark and must pay costs of the case. This is the second trademark suit won by the Vogeler Company in England within three years.

AMERICA’S CANCER INSTITUTE. Located at Aurora, lll.—lts Popularity and Remarkable Cures. The institution above referred to is presided over by Dr. F. L Pond, who for many years has made the ettre of cancer a special study; and who, by reason of the wonderful success he has had in treating such cases, is properly regarded as one of the most eminent physicians in his chosen specialty in America. One of tho latest cures is that of Mrs. D. L Shaw, of Dakota. She says: “I suffered from scirrhus (stone) caucar for fonr years. I consulted a number of physicians. For a time they pronounced it ‘only a tumor. ’ Growing worse and worse, on the advice of a gentleman who had been cured by him, I decided to visit Dr. Pond, though strongly against the wishes of relatives and friends. I realized tliut, advanced as my case was, it was a precarious one. The cancer measured twentyseven inches in circumference, and (when finally removed) weighed five pounds. Am gaining rapidly, have a good appetite, aud have every reason to believe that the disease is entirely eradicated. 1 regard my cure as remarkable,' and urge all afflicted with cancer to consult Dr. Pond without delay.” The Doctor has hundreds of testimonials of similar purport These, together with circulars and full particulars, will be supplied free on application. A Hard-!Shell Sermon. “Were you ever among the hardshell Baptists of Virginia or Tennessee? They are a queer lot, and you won’t believe what I am going to tell you, but it is true, all the same. I was in the mountains of the wildest part of what is now West Virginia twenty years ago, and found myself one Sunday morning in a hard-shell meeting house, built of logs. The pastor, who looked like a cross between a scare-crow and a Mormon elder, rose in the pulpit and said: ‘Breethering, I see a crow in the tree out yonder. If he flies up I have a message for you, and if ho flies down I have none.’ He sat down, and in a moment rose again and said, ‘Breethring, the crow flew up, and I have a message for you, and my text is “Salvation.” I will divide it into as many heads as there are letters in the word, and every letter shall begin a head. First, this salvation is Sure; second, it is Almighty; third, it is Long; fourth, it is Valuable; fifth, it is Alluring; sixth, it is Tried; seventh, it is Infinite and now,’he said, ‘let us put the last two letters together, and say that it is a Oncommon salvation.’ You may well imagine that I smiled. But I was the only one that saw anything to laugh at, aud tho congregation sat there as demure as owls until ho had amplified every one of these alphabetical heads, including the last, preaching about two hours.”— Chicago Journal.

An ingenious astronomical theory is that of Mr. Monck, of Dublin, who suggests that as shooting stars are known to lie dark bodies, rendered luminous for a short time by rushing through our atmosphere, now stars are dark or faintly luminous bodies, which acquire a short-lived brilliancy by rushing through some of the gaseous masses—visible, perhaps, as nebuhe—which exist in space.

A newly made ’Squire belonging to the Gulf shore of Nova Scotia had a complaint laid before him in which the plaintiff' averred that he had been assaulted by a neighbor with intent to do bodily harm. Tho magistrate at once issued the necessary papers and awaited patiently tho day of trial, meanwhile occupying his spare time in reading up cases bearing on the trial. On the arrival of the hour the door of the “best” room was thrown open and there sat the ’Squire bolt upright in the big arm-chair, and on a table in front of him his law books open. After listening to both sides, and speaking in an assumed and dignified air, he thus addressed the plaintiff: “Donald McCollister, stand up and hear your sentence. It is the shudgement of this court that you be taken from hence and fined $2 and costs or twenty days in Picton Shall,” and with fearful expression, he added, “and may God have mercy on your soul. — Detroit Free Press. * * * * Pile tumors, rupture and fistulse, radically cured by improved methods.

The question has probably been asked thousands of time?*, “ How can Brown's Iron Bitters cure everything ? ” Well, it doesn’t. But it does cure any disease for which a reputable physician would prescribe IKON Physicians recognize Iron as the best restorative agent known to the profession, and inquiry of any leading chemical firm will substantiate the assertion that there are more preparations of iron than of any other substance übimi in medicine. 1 his shows conclusively that iron is acknowledged to be the most important factor in successful medical practice. It is, however, a remarkable fact, that prior to the discov«ry of Bkowvs IRON BITTERS no perfectly satisfactory iron combination had ever been found. BROWN’S IRON BITTERS&S headache, or produce constipation— all oilier iron medicines do. BROWN’S IRON BITTERS cures Indigestion, Biliousness, Weakness, Dyspepsia. Malaria, Chills and Fevers, Tired Feeling,General Debility,Pain in the Side, Buck or Limbs. Headache and Neuralgin—for all those ailments Iron is prescribed daily. BROWN’S IRON BITTERS, S=I^ minute. Like all other thorough medicines, it acts slowly. When taken by men the first symptom of benent is renowed energy. The muscles then become firmer, the digestion improves, the bowels are active. In women the effect is usually more rapid and marked. The eyes begin at once to brighten , the skin clears up; healthy color comes to the cheeks; nervousness disappears; functional derangements become regular, and if a nursing mother, abundant sustenance is supplied for the child.
