NEW YORK, February ~.

marked and the offerings large, bank

The bank statement is regarded as un'
favorable. The heavy decrease in de-
posits is due to the falling off in loans,
specie, and legal tenders. The loss in
specie may be traced TO the great de-
mand for customs during the week.

WASHINGTON, February 2l:-The

honor of Grant and Colfax.
The action of the committee on For
eign Relations, who have resolved to
recommend the rejection ofthe Alabama
claims treaty, has not met with a cor
responding unanimity from other SEN
ators. The report has not been made
to the Senate in executive session, and
hence the members of that body are
generally not yet officially advised OF
the grounds upon which the committee
base their conclusions. 1t is said by
some of the Senators that the discussion
of the report on some important ques-
ton would occupy more time than the
Senate could bestow upon it consider
ing the advanced period of the session
and the large amount of legislative
business to be transacted, therefore 1t
is probable that the consideration of
the treaty will be deferred until the
next session of Congress.

ooNsRaUENCEs OF NEGLECT,

Those who indOrse the stupid assertion that
"Catarrh will get we'll of itself" or is durable
by snuffng or inhalng the nostrums in ocmmon
use. will do we'll to remember that the local dis.
ease depends always upon JermentdnCe co'di-
ton Of the blood.
Medical writers are wont to speak OF Catarrh
as a simple local Inflammation, and both its i'm.
portauce and rational treatment are either
wholly ignored, or receive but passing notice
from the general practitioner and thus Catarrh
as surely predisposes to Consumption as does
the day precede the night, and is ia fact tue
prelude to that disease in eight cases out Of ten.
The disease is everywhere prevalent; people
resort to such means ~ always fail, then give
heed to the popular fallacy that it is incurable.
and settle into a sort OF mental apathy, enCQur-
aged by the belief that the family physician
knows all that is known Oh the subject; anf
thus matters stand, while the disease progresses
until hope is dead, and life becomes Hockery,
when comes the stereotyped and hackneyed ad
vice of "a visit to the country" exchange of
climate" "a sea voyage" "a return of health
in the spring" ETC.; but, alas the country re-
ferred to is that which lies beyond the confines
Of the fostering grave, and the spring is that
season which blooms eternal when LIES itful
fever is over
Let those who doubt this portrayal of Catarrh
life is going down at noon, or watch its progress
treatment. 4 little while and We miss their
and cheek, the light from the eye has gone out,
the hands are folded peacefully over the still
heart-they are gone.
