About six O'Clock last evening Mrs. Mcmahon went
out, locking the door Of her room and taking the
key with her. About half-past seven O'Clock the
children Of deceased and his wife, who had been
away playing returned, and being unable to obtain
entrance to their home commenced crying, which

PROTECTION TO PEyssIAS EMIeRANrs: ANTS. We
learn by late dispatches that the North Ger
man Consul General is about to visit this
country for the purpose of making arrange
ments with our government for tire protection
of emigrants. There is no doubt that the
whole system of emigration requires y thor
ough overhaulng. Our government ought to
be able to afford ample protection to all emf
grants from every country in Europe. There
are laws enough on the statute books covering
this question. but it unfortunately happens
that these laws are not discriminatory carried
out. We have Commissioners of Emigrs-
tion aud emigration societies, the former regli-
larly appointed and the latter legally char
tered, yet we find abuses of the most fragrant
description existing both on board of emigrant
ships and in Castle Garden On board ship
sanitary regulations are constantly violated,
and the morality Of the passengers receives so
little attention that female emigrants are not
safe in the pest holes OF the emigrant ship.
All these abuses require correction, and il is
no doubt because of the glaring fact that they
do exist that this consular official from North
Germany comes here to invoke the interference
OF our government. Wcf " Of

TEMPER SESSION OF CONGRESS- Whether
there shall be or not a September session of
Congress is question which the two houses
have left to the judgment Of Senator Morgan,
of New York, and Representative Schenck, of
Ohio II is given out that on being consulted
on the subject Senator Morgan answered that
in his opinion it was too soon yet to decide the
question, which simply means that II is too
soon to make the call for that there viii be a
reassembling of the two houses on the 2Ist of
September to strengthen the backbone Of the
radical party in the South we hold to be
morally certain. The Southern radicals in the
two houses of Congress demand IT, and as in
the matter of overriding the Presidents veto
they now hold the balance Of power their de-
maud must be respected. They are in tight
place at home, and Congress, being called upon
TO help them, must come together. iiir r.tq Il

out by DR.. WoIcott. and the wound

tho size Of a hickory mt. He re.

ly cured. Tho process is this; A
piece Of sticking plaster was put
over the cancer, with a circular
piece cut out Of the center q little
larger than the cancer so that the
cancer and a small circular rim of
healthy skin next toit were ex
posed. Then a plaster made of
chloride OF zinc, blood root and
wheat -four, was spread on a piece
OF muslin the size OF this circular
opening and applied to tho cancer
for twenty-tour hours. On remov.
ing it, tho cancer will be found
burnt into and appear Of the color
and hardness Of an old shoe sole,
and the circular rim outside Of it
will appear white and parboiled,
as if scalded by hot steam. The
wound is now dressed, and tho
outside rim soon separates. and the
cancer comes out in hard lump,
and the place heals up. The plas.
ter kills The cancer. 50 that it
sloughs out like dead flesh, and
never grows again. The remedy
was discovered by DR.. Fell, Of

been known of the re appearance
OF the cancer when this remedy
has been applied.
