THE GREAT FEMALE REMEDY
FOR IRREGULARITIES

FOR IRREGULARITIES
I have tested these drops in my own practice
over ten wears. and do not hesitate to say, that
nothing has vet been developed by medical re-
search, that acts so powerfully, positively, and
harmlessiy in cases of female irTegularity, as
does this medicine. In all recent cases it never
fails while thousands who have been long suffer
ers, indebted TO 1t Tor the boon OF health to-
day.
Although powerful and positive, they
perfectly harmless. and may be used at all times,
except when specially forbidden in the directions.
They have been extensively employed by emil
nent physicians in France aud England, well
in my own practice, over ten yeais, and have
yet to hear of the first instance of failure. /
could give you testimonials of their efficacy from
ladies' all over the northern and western states,
were they not in their nature private. Over lOO,-
600 bottles have been sold the past year, and /
hope and trust as many sufferers nave been bene-
fitted ] am well aware teat remedy so potent
to remove all distractions, may be used for a bad
purpose but trust that where one bottle is TINS
used ten may fall into the hands of really needy
sufferers.
To all who suffer from any irregularity pain

Menstruaton, Lucorrhea, the train of diseases
that follow, would say, try bottle Of DR.. Ly-
on's French Periodical Drops. Being n fluid
preparation, their action is more direct and posi-
tive than any pills powders. Explicit direc-
tions, wearing my facsimile, accompany each bot
tie.
They may be obtained of nearly every druggist

JURY in the Superior Court of New York
has just declared damages to the extent of $500,
in the case of a person who suffered injuries by
falling down an insecurely covered vault-hole.
The amount thus awarded may appear to be
liberal, but it is probably not excessive, as it is
claimed that the plaintiff can never be perfectly
restored to health. This verdict ought to teach
owners of property and other parties whose duty
it is TO fasten and keep in repair the vault
covers, which are the man.traps of our side
walks, that they will be held to strict accounta-
bilitY for remissness.

The House OF COMMONS Is waking up, at last,
to the merits OF heavy American ordnance.
Lord Elcho boldly declared, in q recent debate,
that there was nothing in England to compare
with our 15.inch and 2O-inch smooth bores.
His LordshIp is perfectly correct. The Arm
strong rfed gun is not worthy to be mentioned
in the same day, either for strength or for accu-
racy. Specimen after specimen has burst upon
the backgrounds, and, in order to insure accu-
racy, the gun has had to be laid at the target
with all the nice appliances of special mecha-
nism. The American 10 inch gun, on the con-
trary, besides being perfectly safe and wonder
fully cheaper than its rival, has proved its
prowess in many hard-fought battle, thus
standing the test of service.

THE CHAIRMAN OF THE STATE CENTRAL CON-
MITTEE-We are glad to be able to congratu-
late our readers on the reappointment of
Colonel Frank Jordan to the post of Chairman
of the State Central Committee of the Repub-
lican party. Colonel Jordan is the best or
ganizer that we have had at the head of our
campaigns for many years. He thoroughly
understands the workings of the political
machine, is well posted in regard to the char
acter of the opinions of different sections, and
conducted the campaign last October with
mastery ability. That he is selected to grace
the post for another year shows wisdom on the
part of the Convention, and proves that merit
and ability are appreciated.

Select COunCil-DTunkennes
YESTERDAY the Select Council was favored
with a repetition of what has almost grown TO
be a custom in that Chamber. DR.. Kamerly,
the member from the Second Ward, came to
his seat in a state of gross intoxication,
insulted the members in his vicinity, an
noyed the members by number of rambling,
pointless speeches, and insulted the city by
conduct which would not have been tolerated
in the lowest den in Bedford street. The
Chamber at last, driven to action by the COM
plants of some of the gentlemen insulted, had
Kamerly elected from the room. By so doing
it supposed that its dignity was vindicated
sufficiently, for we find in a few moments the
elected returns, takes his seat, and votes like
other members. He was not again disturbed
because he did not below forth his drunken
sentences, and had ceased to curse his neigh
bors, and express desire to cut off their ears.
Now this sort of dignity may be quite as
much as the Select Council exacts but II
is not sufficient to vindcate the honor of
our city. We insist that Kamerly shall
be expelled from Select Council. He has
time and again come to his seat in this con-
dition of brutal drunkenness. 1t is not suf-
fcient that he apologies. He escaped once
before by that course. The Chamber owes it to
itself to have him expelled. We earnestly hope
that one of the gentlemen among its members
will make that motion at the next meeting.
We do not wish to dictate, but we consider
that, as the question is not a partisan but
municipal one, it would be well if the motion
was to come from a member who agrees in
politics with Kamerly. Colonel Page is sutf-
oient of high-bred gentleman to make it, if
he thought it was his duty; and we would
call his attention to the propriety of its COM
ing from that side of the Chamber, and thus
vindicating the honor of our city, by expelling
the insulter without distinction of party. The
matter demands immediate action.

SHERIDAN ENDORSED BY THE REPUBLICAN, STATE
CONVENTION In MAINE.-The Maine Republican
State Convention yesterday endorsed the ad-
ministration of the gallant Sheridan in the
most emphatic manner. Three great States,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Maine, have already
spoken since this last contest has arisen, and
all have endorsed the faithful soldier who
stands in the gap between the people and a
perfdious Executive striving to nullify their
will as expressed in the law of the land.

The Surratt Trial.

THE Surratt trial increases in interest. WEIGH
man was on the stand yesterday for long
time, and his testimony is continued to-day.
We do not see how any intelligent person,
after reading his testimony, in connection with
that which has already been given, can doubt
that Mrs. Surratt, as well as her son, was one
of the chief cOnspirators. We think that
Ben Butler never made a more foolish speech
in his life than when he spoke of her as an
innocent woman.
