THE Baltimore american speaking OF
the visit of the Virginia Committee to
Baltimore to secure aid in extending
the Valley Railroad, says:
The affair was very successful one
If regarded simply as an ovation In
honor of General Robert e. Lee, but as
business operation It has been con-
spicuous failure. The General OF the
late $50 called" Southern Confederacy
has been feted and smiled upon, and
banqueted, toasted, and hurrahed over
to an extent that would have satisfied
even Andrew johnson, and, as Mr.. Lee
has reputation for personal modesty,
must have greatly disguised him. In
fact the whole demonstration was in
every particular feature social and
political rather than business opera

THE Washington correspondent of

THE Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial. referring 10
the rumors OF impending cabinet
changes, says these reports have seVer>
al objects: First, to create sensation;
second, to influence tho public mind
and provoke criticism unfavOInb!e iN
the incumbents OF Cabinet positions;
and. third, to create rivalry and dis
sentions, thus weakening public conf
dence in the Administration. He adds
that he has the authority of a Cabinet
officer for denying the report in the
most positive terms. Secretaries Fish
and Borie and Attorney General Hoar,
he says, have no idea of retiring from
the Cabinet, and the President has res
ceived no intimation of any such i'm
tention on the part OF his advisers,
neither does he desire any changes.

THE Ohio Legislature has finally
passed, and it is now law, what was
known as the Ohio River Bridge Bnl.'
1t forbids any person or company
to connect bridge over the Ohio river,
of less span than 400 feet in the clear
across the main channel, under a penal
ty of $4,000. With such penalty as this
the law is practically dead letter. The
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will very
willingly pay $40, 900, rather than add a
hundred feet TO the span of its bridges
at a cost OF near ten times that.

BRANDRETR,s Pulls vs.. BIZ

BRANDRETa'SP PILLS VS.. BLEEDING
Bleeding may give ease, because the blood
left has more room but the ease does not
last, and is followed by premature weak
ness.
BRANDRETHSP PILLS relieve the circu-
latlon and give ease more surely and almost
as quickly as bleeding; but Brandreth's Pills
never hurt, and the good they do is perma-
nent, because they take only what the body
and blood are better without Pureation
with these pills will be found
a Universal Curative Principle.
Let the wise examine its claims TO their
confidence. Mrs. Hooker, OF Barnstable,
Mass, was cured by them of st, Vltus's
Dance OF fifteen years standing. Abram
Van Wart was cured of internal tumor by
the use of Brandrcth's Pills when all other
means had failed. DR.. Brandreth's office,

BILLIARDS,
Foster the Champion Player
what he has done.
m the New York Times, March 1871

From the New York Times, March l6.l
In Montreal, on the 9th of next
month. Melvin Foster and Joseph Dion
are to play { leir match for $1,000 q side.
T4st week Foster issued challenge 20
any expert, more especially those in this
vicinity, to play him the same game he
has to meet Dion at for the moderate
stake of $3.50 q eide. This challenge has
not been accepted, probably because very
fe % persons think that there is player
on this side Of the st. Lawrence who
can cope with Foster at the game named.
His object in issuing it was TO bring
about a match that would tend to make
him more fis for his contest with Dion.
Not having been successful in his slni
he has entered into series OF minor
matches, each for q stake suficient TO
make the contest interesting, with
Michael Phelan and William Wicks, the
latter of whom ig matched to play the
| French game with Frank Fitch, OF Troy,
for $500 q side. AT the four-ball game,
1000 points, push-shots barred, and also
at the French game, 100 points, Foster
alternately discounts Pnelan and Wicks.
Toe first game of the series took place on
Thursday last, and much TO the surprise
OF the spectators, resulted in q marked
| triumph for Foster, the following being
| the score:
Foster-0, 1S, A, 0, 100, II, 2, 225, 80,
