GENERAL DEBILITY.-There are THOU
SANDS of persons whose only apparent
Disease is DEBILITY or WEAKNESS.
They generally have a TIRED, LANGUID
feeling, are frequently somewhat dyspep-
tic and Gloomy, and are constantly
wondering why they do not get strong
er. The CAUSE Of this Debility in most
cases is an IMPOVERISHED condition OF
he Blood Deficiency of certain
Chemical Elements that Nourish the
Nervous system-very frequently it is
caused by some UNsUsPECTED Disease of
the Kidneys or bladder. KOSKOO is
Natures great remedy in these cases--it

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION. Through
out the country the farmers, from the
superabundant crops Of everything, are
complaining of the low prices of their
products. We are not aware, however,
of any material reduction from bread
and butter to potatoes and turnips in
the retail business in these things with
our city consumers. How is it that the
good news Of bounteous supply of food
10 the country is SO late getting to town?
That is the question. Can anybody an

DoGs.--We have seen no dog catchers

DIFFICULTY BETWEEN EPISCOPAL
DIGNITARIEs. Bishop Cummings, for
merIy pastor of Christ Church of this
city, Notwithstanding the demand OF
Bishop Wbitehouse of the Diocese OF
Illinois, that he should not do SO.
preached in Trinity Church Chicago, on
Sunday morning last.
The church was filled. Bishop
Cummings published in the Chicago
Tribune letter explaining his course
in regard to the difficulty between him
self and Bishop Whitehouse, to which
is appended letter from Bishop
Whitehouse to himself.
The letter is bitter in its tone, pro-
testing against Bishop Cummings visit
ing Whitehouse's diocese to .officiate in
any manner within its bounds.
Whitehouse is "High-C hurchman y
or Ritualist, and Cummings is "Low-
Churchman"- hence the antagonism.

By the way, she's out of town just now,
but, however, that doesn't alter the
case.
The building of the new steeple on
the Presby terian Church is progressing
finely it is growing small by de-

Disease of the body is the interrupts

business is the interrupted circulation of
money. The latter malady is raging
fearfully in Norfolk.

FRE.-The alarm Of fire from box Il, at
about $3.50 o'clock yesterday morning, was
caused by the burning Of the restaurant and
dwelling Of Patrick Brennan, on z, between
Twelfth and Thirteenth streets. The fire
came very near causing a serious loss Of
life, as all points of cgress, save the front
windows Of the second story, were cut of
before any OF the inmates were made aware
OF their danger by the cries of one Of the
neighbors, who discovered the fire and gave
the alarm. Upon being aroused, and seeing
the danger, Mr.. Brennan conveyed his
family TO the front chamber, and there
lowered his children, one by one, to the peo-
pie who had assembled below, and by whom
they were received and conveyed across the
street to place OF safety. The little ones
safe, Mrs. Brennan was next let down, and
then the husband followed her, only In time
TO see dense cloud Of smoke and Are follow
almost instantly after. Mr.. BIS loss will be
about 5000, on which there was an insur-
rance Of 81 900.
