 E. N. Hosford, late Rumford Professor, Har- yard University etc., R. Ogden Doremus, MD. Medical College of the City New York, say of the Astral Oil:
 Tt Is remarkably clear and free from disa- greeablo odor, and burns W. tn .brilli ant fame without offensive smell.h A lamp filed with Astral Oil. and allowed to burn entirely out, does not encrust the wick. The "fash ooint'' may be fairly stated to be 125o Fan, and the burning point'' not below I46 Fah. The plan adopted for securing the public against aduiteration of the oil. by putting it up for sale In cans of convenient size for family use, and sealing the cans, to be opened only by the consumer, is to be commended in the strong est terms. This system, faithfully carried out, meets Q great public want"

that it will be so. I'll bet louis that he

be black-balled, and he was net, but it

| s. Richards, of Tennessee, Consul at
Leeds. Thomas McElrath was re ap'
pointed Appraiser of Merchandise for the
port of New York.
Mr.. Ross, in his speech in the Senate
to day, said the statements of his inter-
view with the President were grossly in
correct and slanderous, and had been
promulgated by parties interested in
manufacturing public opinion against
him who were witnesses to the interview.
In simple justice to the President, he felt
it his duty to say that on the occasion re-
ferred to no word inconsistent with the
strictest rules of propriety and decorum
was uttered by either party. The inter-
view sought by him was not for the pur-
pose of importuning the President to ap-
point this or that man. He had never
approached him for that purpose, and he
had no design at present Of doing so.
His object was to protest against the
sweeping removal of Radicals in his State.
During the interview he was astonished
and panied to hear from the President
the assertion that where any man had
held Office during the last year and half,
it was presumptive evidence that he was
a johnson man. He proceeded at length |
to criticize the removals and appoint.
ments that had been made in his State.
A portion of the delegation had de-
manded, and the President conceded the
summary dismissal of Republican Office
holders on mere charges of want of fealty
to Republicans, which charges the men
making them, knew in many cases to be
false and slanderous. he charged that
of the new appointments scarcely one
had been taken from the soldiers who
fought against the rebellion, but in their

Pomeroy briefly replied to his col
league, saying he was we'll satisfied with

He saw nothing to complain of and moth

changes were demanded and would be
sanctioned by the people of Kansas.
Combinations by the Senate: W. f.
Sparkling, Assessor Fifth District of Ten
nessee; Il. B. Bonn, Fifth Auditor of the
Treasury; W. H. Smith, Marshal of
Georgia; Horace Rubles, Minister to

The President withdrew several nom
nations, intending A, s. Russell, of Penn
sylvania, Minister to Costa Rica; also
sent to the Senate the last batch of nom
nations for the present executive session.
