FISH vs.. WAsHBURNE.


The latest bit of gossip afoat is
a statement in Washington, that the
Washburnes are endeavoring to get
the President to ask Secretary Fish to
resign. The latter official has excited
the ire of that family by refusing to
make some forty foreign, appointments
prepared by that member who occu-
pied the State Department for less
than week. ~ ~ iai
SECRETARY BoRIE will resign this
week from the Navy Department and
retire to that obscurity from which
he was dragged by a Cabinet appoint
ment in March last. Admiral Porter,
it is supposed, will be appointed Sec
retary ad interim. -.

A Rich ADvRNTURE-The following
story from the Abend- Zietung, the Ger
man evening newspaper of Chicago, de-
serves translation. 1t says: 1T was n
small but merry company that met last
Tuesday evening at our friend Ken
kel's, under the Sherman House. Bottle
followed bottle in rapid succession, and
the tone of the imbibers was the most
exalted. But finally came reaction, n
drowsiness overlook the majority. all but
four departed. This quartette had Eft
so nobly that the field was literally
strewn with their bodies. and aid was
required to get them home. Accordingly
the proprietor called a carriage from the
stand, opposite the way, and with difficult
ty deposited customer in each corner.
He then turned to the driver and instruct
cd as follows:
90 Dis one in de left corner drive to No.
West Randolph street. Dis one IN
de right corner you must take to dc mar
BILE front on Union street, near dc Bap-
tist church. You must take him up dc
stairs, and tell his wife not to fight nit
him. Dat leetle feller in de pack scat
take to Milwaukee avenue, by Schultze's,
next de Odd Fellows Hall, and de odder
one lives by Linkum Park The driver
with an 'all right slammed the door of
the carriage, mounted his seat, and was
of.
Mr. Kenkel and his Joe set things
to rights in the place, and in a few min
utes we're ready 20 close the saloon, when
the indentical carriage again halted be-
fore the door.
90 What is the matter 2 inquired the
proprietor.
"sI have met with a sad mishap,' an
swercd the driver. In passing sharply
around the corner the jolt of the vehicle
threw them all into heap | have been
trying to right them, but can't tell which

one woman Marrying Another.

She has married woman. Such is
the position of plaintiff before law
court of Santana, Chill. The wife has
sued for divorce founding her applica-
tion on the simple fact that her husband
is of the same sex as herself. That was
enough to create an embarrassing law
case and yet the bench of Santiago is
sorely puzzled over the matter. IL was
easy to separate husband and wife-but
how about the property? The one who
undertook the part of husband had mar
ried the other for her prospects. She
was in the habit of frequenting the baths
Of Colina for the purpose of selling fresh
eggs aud other such commodities to the
world of fashion who seek health aud re-
pose in that watering place. The police
had watched the cgg. g.sellcrs, and noticed
that he or she always woro cloak, aud
that on no occasion was it ever put aside
Otherwise the egg-seller's dress aud gait
were that of man. On the other hand,
the wife of this singular mate is of SIM
plcity and innocence so great that for
some time after the marriage she had
no suspicious as to the nullity of her hus-
bands pretensions. In the meantime
madame the husband, in all the pride OF
manhood. employed herself busily in max
ing purchases aud contract in her wife's
marriage portion. Now the question ari-
ses whether the wife should be responsible
for the debts incurred by the husband
while managing her affairs. There is an
other question also-what punishment
should be inflicted on the husband for
contempt of law and for forgery commit
ted in signing the the marriage contract
and other documents under an assumed
sex :? The legal aspects of the case may
be left to the learned magistrates of San
tiago.

such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before In tho whole history OF
medicine, has anything 50 widely and so deeply
upon the confidence OF mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series Of years, and among most Of the races OF
men Il has risen higher and higher in their estima-
ton, rs IL has become better known. It's uniform
character and power TO cure the various affections
or the lungs and throat have made it known as
liable protector against them. While adapted TO
mder forms OF disease and TO young children, It Is
at the same time the most eectual remedy that can
be given for Inciplent consumption, and the dan
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, IL should
be kept on hand In every family, and indeed all
ara sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled COnsWutpfi0n is thought In.

and the patient restored to sound health by the

lection from It.
Asthnaa Is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.

So generally are Its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates OF them here, do
than assure tho public that its qualities arc fully
maintained.

Mr.. Beechcr never swears. In all his
life profale expression never passed his
lips. But if he were to take it into his
head to try once, he would make even the
disgusting habit seem beautiful-he
would handle it as it was never handled
before. and If there was a wholesome
moral lesson hidden away in it anywhere,
he would ferret it out and use it with tre-
men dous effect. Panoplied with his
grand cndowments-his judgment, his
discriminating taste, his felicity of express
sion, his graceful fancy-if Mr Beecher
had mind to swear, he would throw into
it an amount of poetry, and pathos, and
splendid imagery, and moving earnest
ness, and resistless energy, topped off and
climaxed with "a gcorgous pyrotecnic
confagratien of filagree and fancy swear
