Are recommended only for those diseases and
Accommodating symptoms for which their iugre
dients are everywhere recognized as thorough,
standard specifics. In quoting properties from
Medical Certificates, there must be repititious Of
language. Diseases and symptoms follow, but
symptoms should not be mistaken for distinct
diseases. This is mentioned from the fact that
many might say that they proposed to cure eve
rythiug. Additional evidence, also, which fully
sustans all that is claimed for them, is found in
the medical works of tho day, recommendations
from prominent Chemists, Druggists, &c, who
have been personally acquainted with the pro-

at Washington cannot or will not take
steps to prevent the movement, and
no definite instructions can be OBJ
tanned from Washington.
1t is stated that the com mand has
been rendered to Harry Hazen, an ex-
Oonfederatea Major General, who
through his personal popularity
among the old soldiers. and his know
ledge of Spanish warfare, could col
lect around him in days notice tive
or three thousand veterans. But very
considerable pecuniary inducements
have been held out to him. He de-
clines on the ground that he is too
old and has too good law practice to
give it up. .s4
Gen. Steadman remains the prob
able leader. He is brave but wanting
IN prudence and discretion. If he
gets off he will make either a stirring
success or a most complete failure.
Collector Casey, who is brotherin-
law of the President, says openly he
does not want to hear or know any
thing about expeditions of any kind,
and District Attorney Morgan says
his appeals to Washington for defnite
instructions are answered only with
vague .generalities. Marshal Heron,
who recently returned from Washing
ton, hints that he shall keep up ap-
pearances, but do little.

Gloves.
fFrom the New Yolk Posi-.


From the New York Post
The Spring trade in dress materials
and waking costumes has opened
briskly. There Is a slight decline ia the
price of black silks, aud in stripes
aud chenes for suits, bat the delicate
shades for evening Wear are held at
former rates. "A foe assortment of
thin materials for Summer wear has
been brought out this week, and the
new designs have been eagerly sought
after by those who propose to take an
early departure for the seaside.
SILKS.
Something new In silks is the Raye
Glace, which is fine, soft and of deli
cate tints. Another novelty is the
=" PefSchole," which will be mu ch in
vogue, not merely because the name
is popular, but for the richness of the
material ana the beautiful sha de.
The Mongeline Raye, a new style of
French goods, is a thin silk material
for evening and sea aside wear, and
preferable to grenadine. 1t will be
much worn during the coming season.
Silk chambFays have fallen In price,
and can be purchased at prices rang
ing from one dollar and seventy five
cents to two dollars and half per
yard; the latter making very desirable
dresses. There is a new style of
chambray, rece nt1y imported, for evenS
Jag dress. tins white, with a PEARL
like luster, which is very effective by
gas light; this is novelty that will
be much sought after, and very fash
ionable for the seaside 1t is prefer.
able to white silk, and more durable.
Silk with a marrow shot. stripe,
black and gray, is a novelty for suits,
and can be purchased for three and a
half dollars per yard, but it is ma
terial that viii wash, and is particu-
larly desirable for the seaside, as
rain or fog will not injure it. Another
Parisian novelty is chene stripes, at
low price. .
French pongee is something new,
and superior to the original pongee
that came from China, being tirmer,
softer texture, and more durable. 1t
is in the natural color of the silk, a
delicate nankeen color. and is proof
against water or sea air. -.
A fair quality of black silk can be
bought for Two dollars a yard, and q
very good article for ordinary wear
for two dollars and quarter.
The higher grades OF black silk
are trifie lower than during the
winter. Bonnet's manufacture has
been the most saleable for general
wear, aud ranges from five dollars per
yard upward But there has recently
been introduced black silk from a
new manu'actory in Lyons, with the
name Stewart-the manufacturer
upon it. This is said to be superior
to Bonuet's, and the same quality is
sold fifty cents less per yard.
The Cyclope silk is superior ma
terial. at about seven dollar per yard,
and may be known by having one
white edge and one black, from the
one-eyed fabulous being OF antiquity.

WASHINGTON, April I9-Mr Chand-
ler offered resolution that the Pres
ident be directed to open negotiations
with England for the settlement of
all open questions on the basis of the
surrender of all British North Ameri-
can possessions to the United States.
Mr.. Chandler read long extracts from
his former speech to show that he
originated the position now assumed
by the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions, and insisted that if his advice
had been followed heretofore, the
Alabama and other claims would not
now remain unsettled; but that if the
resolutions he offered looking to the
withdrawal of our Minister and nom
intercourse had been adopted, such
claims would have been paid in thirty
days..
