The Bill authorizing the issue of Ten Mil
lion more Treasury notes has passed the
House Of Representatives by minority vote!
That is, it was carried to its third reading on
Wednesday by vote Of 80 and the casting
vote of the Speaker, and afterwards refusedto
be reconsidered by vote Of ITO yeas to lo9
nays!
There is not the least doubt that consi-
derable majority Of the House are opposed to
the issue of Treasury notes. But Congress
is nothing before the almost omnipotent power
Of the Executive.

The bill was yesterday the subject of dis

1888.
G-For sale by Franck Taylor.
Genius can impart an interest to any thing
and every thing, and touches nothing it does
not ornament. Miss Pardoe, with the same
turn of mind Of Lady Montague, approaches
nearer her in style and talent, than any Of her
sex since the days of the unrivalled and inim-
liable Lady Wortley.
The volumes before us consist Of familiar
epistles, descriptive ofthe manners and scenes
the authoress Witnessed, which are painted
with vividness that brings them at once pal
pably before the mind.
The best Recommendation Of the book is,
that it is written by woman, with woman's
tact and delicacy; and the only objection we
have to it, is that il is altogether too brieE-the
common fate of all good things.

almost constant use in my family. 1t was thus intro.

administered several times through the night In The

changed" the disease checked, nay removed: all
other medicine discontinued and the child was soon
restored to usual health We have ever since kept this
invaluable medicine hand and for both adult. and
children have found it uniformly etcacious We readily
pronounce it the best adapted to family use of all th
preparations with which we acquainted. Hopng the
public will soon become universally acquainted with this
medicine, remain yours, &C.,

prepared on common cotton machinery, and it ap-
peared well. The inventor thinks ne can pro-
duce linens as cheap as cottons. The whole pro-
cess, beginning with the flax in stalk, is perform

or two. If there is no mistake about the matter

New INK.-A new and beautiful ink, in every
respect altogether superior to any ink or "writing
fud' heretofore offered to the public, is pre-
pared at the Norwalk Chemical Mandatory. 1t
is of deep Prussan blue color, and it contains
no acid or corrosive ingredient, it produces in
furious effects upon metallic pens. 1t is moreover
perfectly indeible, as it cannot be ehaced by any
of the agents which decompose the common inks.
Long exposure to the air has no influence upon its
fuidity, as the fluid does not hold the cooring
matter suspended, but the ink is perfect solu-
ton. 1t needs but trial to convince any one of
its superiority, and will, we doubt not, soon as
it becomes extensively known, supersede the use
ofall other writing huids.-Vorwah Gaz.

AN ACTUAL sCENE AFTER BATTLE.

The battle of Soldin, between the Russians and
the King of Prussia, was warmly contested; ana
after it was over, clergyman went upon the
ground, and afterwards wrote the following ac-
count Of what he saw:
s.At one o'clock the cannonadlng ceased, ana
I went ont on foot to Soldin to learn i'll whose
favor the battle had turned. Towards evening
seven hundred Russian fugtives came to Soldn
It was a pillful sight; some holding up thell
hands cursing and swearing, others praying ant
praising the King of Prussia. without hats o
clothes, some on foot, others two on a horse
with their heads and arms tied up; some draggin!
along by the stirrups and others by the tails o
the horses.
"When the battle was decided, and victory
shouted for the Prussian army, | yentured to th'
place where the cannonading had been. Ate
walking some way, a Cossack's horse came running
full speed towards me- mounted him; and OF

A MAN FouND.-There was found, on the 22d
ult., near Parish's Grove, in Jasper county, the
remains OF a man who, it was supposed, had been
dead several weeks. His flesh was all gone.
Some of his bones were found and buried by our
informant and three or four, of his neighbors.
The deceased had green Mackinaw blanket
oyer-coat, fine snufi-brown coat, thick corded pam
falcons, a black stock, fur or seal cap, coarse
boots, half scaled and cap across the toes, and
gumelasc suspenders. 1t was supposed, judg-
ing from the bones, that the man was six feet high.
Editors, generally, will notice the above, that
the friends of the deceased may learn the fact of
his death.-Ladiana Journal.
